Why do the libs throw out Limbaugh in defending Pres Doofus? Do they think Limbaugh's position is equivelent to the Presidency? He is an entertainer that has never run for public office. :roll:

Limbaugh is successful precisely because he points out the faults of the libs.

They hate him.

They can't understand his popularity.

Of course he's arrogant. He's earned it. He's right most of the time.

And the left feels that because they have an emotional irrational attachment to dear little Obie that real Americans must have a similar feeling towards Limbaugh, as if we're the emotional unthinking robots they are.

I understand his popularity completely. He's popular for the same reason that Ann Coulter is. He says outrageous things. He is sensationalism incarnate. They are both very clever because they realize that the more outrageous they are the more people on both sides are going to listen. It's the same reason Howard Stern was so popular. Nobody on the left has the balls to go as far as those two have gone and I doubt there ever will be anyone like that.

Are you Truth Detector? :shock:

I have no idea why Skinny Legs is so popular. She's caused way more damage to the cause of freedom than she's been able to make up for. Limbaugh at least has the decency to be funny.

Also, almost all of the negative things they say Rush has said has to be taken out of context. Of course he said he hopes Obie will fail. What he said was that since Obie's plans are going to hurt the country, he hopes Obie will fail.

Context is the key.

Skinny is a blemish, nothing more.

Well, I thought the whole thing he said about Michael J. Fox was pretty outrageous. I'm sure that was just a ratings goldmine for him, though.

I can understand the confusion, but you will know when TD posts. In all of Scarecrow's posts there is nary a "carry on" to be found.

Yeah, this totally threw me off:

"...And the left feels that because they have an emotional irrational attachment to dear little Obie that real Americans must have a similar feeling towards Limbaugh, as if we're the emotional unthinking robots they are."

What were the terrible things Rush said? Was it the part where he suggested that in order for Michael to make a bigger emotional appeal he was perhaps not on his drugs during the commercial in order to have a greater impact?
 
No, I honestly thought that maybe you guys got the same talking points by mistake.

Honestly? You think you are being honest about your trolling and baiting? I don't think you would know "honest" if it whacked you on your thick skull.

Perhaps you need find a hobby? :roll:

Yeah, you're right. It's perfectly okay to mock a guy with Parkinson's just because you don't agree with his political message. And it has already been proven that the medication is what makes him do that, not a lack of medication.

Sure, why not, when that guy is telling the world that if only we killed more babies he might get cured of his twitchiness.

If he's willing to prostitute himself for his cause, why shouldn't we make fun of him?

And Rush does Drugs too ´cept he dont take them for any illness, other than Addiction to Opioid´s

Because there's a little thing called being an adult and attacking his message if you don't agree with it rather than him and his illness.

How was he being mocked? Did Rush say; "look at that retard, he's faking it?"

No, he merely suggested that in order to have a greater effect, he allowed himself to be recorded with his "tic" in order to appeal to emotions rather than the facts of the cause he supported.

He also suggested that he had done plenty of other appearances completely normal and without evidence of having the "tic." How is this mocking him?

I am always amused at the emotional hysterics of Liberals who when called on their tactics become hurt and insulted.

The debate about embryonic cell research was based on a lie: That President Bush was denying funding for it, and that it was somehow this miraculous cure for conditions that Michael suffered from.

The truth was that Bush merely refused Federal Tax Payer funding for the research on moral grounds which, if it was such a miracle cure, can easily find PRIVATE funding. The other TRUTH is that to date, there has been ZERO evidence that embryonic stem cells are any better at cures than adult stem cells.

So aside from all the emotional hyperbole you bring, how was this in the least way mocking Michael?

What does this have to do with anything contained in this thread?

As for Rush's addiction; do you think he is the first person to ever become addicted to a prescribed drug OxyContin?

Your desperate desire to avoid honest debate is noted however. Here are some facts about it, read and become informed:

Oxycontin Addiction | Effects of Oxycontin | Oxycontin Facts
 
Because there's a little thing called being an adult and attacking his message if you don't agree with it rather than him and his illness.

But Rush never attacked him and his illness; once more what we are talking about here is highly emotional hysterics and nothing related to the facts or the truth.

You seem to be the one getting riled up, not dcxlvnoise.

Um...are you serious? :shock:
Did you not see the video where he mimicked Michael J. Fox shaking?

No, he merely suggested that in order to have a greater effect, he allowed himself to be recorded with his "tic" in order to appeal to emotions rather than the facts of the cause he supported.

Which is absurd, but that also doesn't begin to address the fact that he mimicked Michael J. Fox's shaking.

He also suggested that he had done plenty of other appearances completely normal and without evidence of having the "tic." How is this mocking him?

That isn't mocking him. That is making ignorant judgments based on knowing very little about Parkinson's Disease.

I am always amused at the emotional hysterics of Liberals who when called on their tactics become hurt and insulted.

Emotional hysterics? I merely said that he does what he does for ratings. To get upset over his antics would be like getting upset over a professional wrestler. It's entertainment pure and simple and he does it quite well.

The debate about embryonic cell research was based on a lie: That President Bush was denying funding for it, and that it was somehow this miraculous cure for conditions that Michael suffered from.

I could care less about that. Nowhere in my post did I indicate my feelings on embryonic cell research.

The truth was that Bush merely refused Federal Tax Payer funding for the research on moral grounds which, if it was such a miracle cure, can easily find PRIVATE funding. The other TRUTH is that to date, there has been ZERO evidence that embryonic stem cells are any better at cures than adult stem cells.

See above.

So aside from all the emotional hyperbole you bring, how was this in the least way mocking Michael?

I know it's hard for you to do this, but just try this for me: Take a calming breath or two and read back to what I actually posted before you start foaming at the mouth and continue with your business as usual tactics. I know it's hard for you to be civil to someone who disagrees with your points but just try it this once.
