Folks... do NOT feed the troll. He has been thread banned. If you see behavior like this, report it and ignore it. Now... get back to the topic.
 
The thing about Rush is that basically you reap what you sow. He is grossly overweight and has history of drug abuse. Yes, he has dropped the weight up and down like a yo yo but that is just as unhealthy.
Living like that is his own fault. Take some self responsibility here.

Jerry Garcia died young too. Who would have thought a health nut like him would have died young....... Basically the guy did himself in. . ..

Since this statement basically negates the statements above it, we have a classic illustration of the way the some people talk to themselves, but don't not listen to themselves.
 
Who is this addressed to? I hope not me because I have distaste for those on BOTH sides of the political aisle who would engage in this behavior.

It was just a toss out about what I was reading. If it was directed at you? I would have totally quoted you. ;)
 
Does it really matter? So because Rush is a public figure he all of a sudden deserves respect because he is sick? Or because he mite die?

He can do a dance with zombie Ted Kennedy for all I care. It has nothing to do with wishing anyone dead, but if they do die, so what? They don't care anymore. So why would I all of a sudden respect them?

This whole thing is stupid. Dead people are dead. They are public figures and so lots of people liked and disliked them in life and death.

As for the relatives and friends, please. Like they frequent this message board. :roll:

Get over it.

Just something I grew up with, it has nothing to do with the person's public status, just that of their health or living status. Maybe it's a southern thing? I dunno, but I was always raised not to speak ill of the gravely sick or the dead.
 
***** I want THIS President to Fail. It's in the very best interest of this Great Country. even if we have a good 60% of the World's Lawyers.

Are you serious? You really want our POTUS to FAIL? :(

Was this a joke?
 
Obama is attempting to turn America into another Eurosocialisttrash welfare-communist mediocracy. I sure hope he fails too

Wow. So you want our Country to FAIL? Do you hate Obama so much that you wish for it do a downfall? If so? I do not think you love the U.S.A. very much:(

I consider people that wish/hope for our POTUS to fail as traitors.

I can respect that. I am just saying to others don't sit there and tell me I have no class etc. because I say what I want about anyone at any time. I will not lie or pull punches.

I treat them EXACTLY the same in life or in death.

Now if they are sick and I am talking to them directly, well that is different. As I said I would not wish death or sickness on anyone.

No, he wants the agenda he feels Obama is pursuing to fail.

Nice Red Herring.

Then you attack his patriotism etc. for no good reason, That is lame.

There are worse things in the manners catagory to be sure than speaking ill of anyone, living or dead. While I don't like this particular behavior, I don't think it shows lack of class, just a different personal standard of behavior, and one I try not to engage in personally.

I want Obama to fail as well. If he succeeds in getting his agenda done, America suffers. His failure is in my best interest, yours too though you may not realize it.

As to the topic:

No group of people ever become more tolerant, they just switch targets. It was democrats that stood in the way of the civil rights movement and it was democrat governor George Wallace that stood in the schoolhouse door and said "Segregation today, segregation tomorrow, segregation forever!!" and had to be removed by the national guard. Today they have taken their dogs and hoses off of the black community now that they have all but destroyed it with the "Great Society" and are taking aim at what appear to be chubby white guys and mid-western housewives.

Red Herring my ass! HE tossed it out! I just commented on the fact he hopes that our POTUS fails. Do not even try to turn this around on me!

Just in case you missed it or not reading right? He said " I sure hope he fails too"

So do not even try to claim I am doing anything! He tossed it out and I commented on it. I did NOT bring it up!

You do understand that saying you want our POTUS to fail is pretty much saying that you want us to fail as a country? As much as I hated Bush? I would have never in my life said such a thing.

Wanting the President to fail at implementing policies that citizens disagree with is (1) not traitorous to the country -- else, most LIberals on this board would be guilty of that charge and (2) is not wishing for the United States of America to fail. Either that, I am sure all of the liberals on this board and in the good ole U S of A wanted President George W Bush to be a success in everything he did as president, right?
 
*** Wanting this current President to fail and being disloyal to the Country are not the same things. Just the opposite in most cases I suspect. The varies considerably from the late 60's thru the 90's actually when certain Leftists loathing LBJ,Nixon,Ford, Carter even,Reagan,Bush I & Bush II in some cases hoped for actual Military disaster abroad.

**** There is a difference here. Some of the early supporters of Obama from the MoveOn, DU, Kos ranks do come under this.

No, you are wrong. It is not even close to the same thing. Were you against the war in Iraq? Did that mean you were against our troops? Did that mean you were un-American?

If you felt W was doing something that would harm the country and you "would have never in my life said such a thing" then you failed us all. The POTUS is not America. He serves America, or is supposed too. He works for me and you and if you feel he is doing things that are bad for America then you need to lose the Nicey McNice BS and speak up. I damn sure will.

No. This is what he tossed out...

"Obama is attempting to turn America into another Eurosocialisttrash welfare-communist mediocracy. I sure hope he fails too"

Yes your argument is a Red Herring and your insulting his patriotism etc is just lame.

You are trying to take one sentence out of context.

Again, just lame.

I am not only claiming it, I have already proved your statement is nothing but hyper partisan garbage, period.

Not trying to bait you here, but a spade in this case is just that.

move to the top of the class, would you like to be pencil monitor?
 
You don't give someone respect, you show them your respect--it is a reflection of who you are.
 
With all the racist, misogynistic, anti-troop and just plain foul messages by Rush Limbaugh you would think people would care little about his comments on Obama. Seriously, what does he have to do to get fired? Call Obama a nigger or something?

This is a guy who believe that soldiers who voice discontent with the war in Iraq are phony soldiers because no true Scottsman. This is the guy who's party painted Barack Obama as 'The Magic Negro'( mostly because of his overuse of the song) and then went on to elect Michael Steele as their chairman.

This is the guy who like Cheney and Clinton at the time found an excuse to not serve his country when it asked him to and now reserves the right to tell phony soldiers from real ones. The guy who nearly 40 years after the Vietnam war now gets to say that he supports the troops and tries to slam anybody who doesn't support a war he would never fight because of you know, ass pimples.

The guy who habitually bitched on how evil drug users are and then got caught running a prescription drug ring and popping dozens of oxycontin a day. Now as a lot of you know, I'm not exactly a stranger to drugs and I've been clean for a while but dozens of oxycontin? What was he trying to do? Use his massive size to transport the drugs into Colombia?

With all the other **** you can character assassinate Rush Limbaugh with the last thing people should get him on is his dislike of Obama and wanting Obama to fail.
