opinion. so what, he has been critical of Bush on numerous issues.



"Now, I'm going to tell you something, folks. This issue, if not handled properly by this administration, it could be the issue that severs the existing Republican coalition and could see to it to create the rise of a new Perot or somebody, where a president only needs to get 43% of the vote to win, a'la Bill Clinton, because some of the Republican coalition breaks away and votes for the newcomer. This is the issue that could cause that to happen if they're not careful..."


Rush... disagrees with Bush?




;)

Media Matters - Limbaugh "respectfully" disagreed with Bush's pledge to not question opponents' patriotism: "We most certainly can. We most certainly should"



Rush Limbaugh Issues

I love it when people who don't listen to something tell me what I hear.



The argument though was that he always agreed with Bush. I proved thay wrong my friend. :2wave:

Okay I read that article and the links. Not once does Rush mention Bush by name. And his only criticism of the administration is this....

So I'll say he definitely references the "administration" but his criticism isn't a criticism so much as it is a warning of things to come. He's not saying "you're doing this wrong," he's saying "if you don't do this right this could happen."

No, the argument was he supported Bush through his Presidency and then your contention that he was critical of him on numerous issues and highly critical of him at the end. You have not proven that point.

If we want to move the goal posts that is fine. Is the argument now that Rush has simply disagreed with Bush on a number of occasions? If so I can see that he has disagreed with him from time to time.

Here is the meat of the issue. Rush has been an ardent supporter of the Bush administration throughout the Presidency. That description withstands any attempt here at making him out as anything but. He never broke away and went after Bush to the degree you have previously asserted, it simply didn't happen. The GOP however walked away from Bush at the end. Rush disagreeing with Bush over immigration and warning him of not handling the issue properly certainly doesn't rise to the level of making him a Bush critic. It just means he looked at Bush's support of the bill and warned him against it. It never caused him to even come close to the level of criticism he has lavished on others.

You and American are diluting this from it's original context to one of "he didn't exactly agree with Bush on everything." And that is fine, you have proven that much. But that doesn't make him even remotely close to being a Bush critic, doesn't mean he was critical of Bush on several issues, and certainly not highly critical of Bush about anything.

Oh, so if he isn't taking a dump on Bush's portrait you're not happy.

Well you could choose to stay within the context of the argument at hand and not attack based upon your moving of the goal posts. See my above post for further.
 
Let's set a lower bar. Rush said "I hope he fails" during Obama's first week in office. Show me something comparable that he said about Bush in eight years.

I moved no goal posts.


He critisized bush on numerous issues, another is bush's prescription drug program.

I have shown how he has been against all the bailouts.


I have provided plenty of evidence, you refuse to see it due to partisanism...


Please by all means, show me where Rush agreed with the perscription drug program, immigration, bailouts.... just once......

I hope obama fails as well. I do not think nationalizing things is the answer. as 'rush said as well.

You absolutely did. You know the original point you made, and who you made that in reference to. This all stemmed from your claim that Rush was not a Bush supporter throughout the Presidency. I'll remind you of what your counter argument was...
He critisized Bush on numerous issues and highly critical at the end over the bailout therefore "all that time" is highly innaccurate.

You've yet to show him criticizing Bush. I've already proven that. I took your links, examined them, and proven he never once criticized Bush directly.

You have not shown any direct criticism of Bush, which is what you said he did and what I asked you to show me.

This not the case at all. You have presented no evidence that backs up your case here. Unless we subscribe to moving the goals posts down to "Rush didn't agree with Bush all the time." Once can support the President and not agree with everything he does.

That's your argument, not mine. I'm focused on the one we started in this thread, the one where you said "He critisized Bush on numerous issues and highly critical at the end over the bailout therefore "all that time" is highly innaccurate."

I'm not sure where you got this "because he didn't say he agreed with Bush on certain issues means he was critical of Bush on numerous issues." Remaining silent, criticizing the Republicans, and warning the administration do not equate to Rush Limbaugh directly criticizing George W. Bush about anything.

Well I don't care how much time you devote to it as long as what you post is actual evidence. Saying I'd deny it before you've even found it is very assumptive on your part. I'm not a hyperpartisan like you, I just demand there be some validity to the argument someone is making. Not too much to ask.

Ball's in your court.

ok man, I showed links, i quoted him, i gave you my experience from listening to his show at times.

I listen to him sometimes, you don't. I give you evidence you say I don't.

If there is no attempt at honest debate, I am not going to waste my time here.

Thanks.
