In fact my only point was that Rush is no patriot.

Glad you liked it

But, because I really do like a good discussion, How is he unpatriotic?

Yes, Bj229r. The reason 1/2 the Senate is trying to tar and feather him off the air is because some people on this BBS think Rush is an idiot. I'm glad you figured out the root cause.

Because his entire reason for existing is to denegrate fully 50% of the population of this country. He is hell bent on dividing us into pigeonholed defined camps and turning the one he dislikes into pariahs. This does nothing to make our country stronger and it certainly does nothing but try to paint some of us as disloyal. I am saddened every time I see someone treat that pompous bellybutton as if he were important or had something worthwhile to say.

That's how.

MT......that is exactly what the other side does as well. I listen to the "other" side at night going home. They are NO better than he. Each "Side" has their agenda and will spout thier rhetoric to the high heavens to try to sway people to thier way of thinking.

I lean right...sometimes on certain issues pretty far.....But to make it sound like he , being on the right , is the only one doing it is , to say the least , disingenious.

That could be a very capitalist decision.

See! Why the "ic"? No need for the "ic". The "ic" is evil and hates us.

The President has set the precedant for innovative vocabularistics. It's sort of a verbal jazz. Why just today, I used the new word integrotic, referring to the study of interrogatory statements.

Adding an istic or a simple ic is enhancematic of the language.

well said roc...

mt.. noooo... the reason more than half the democratic party is trying to tar and feather him is twofold..

Talk radio is something that burns their butt... it is very popular and it is very conservative and.. it is about the only media that they don't control and can't compete in. sooo.. they want to destroy it.

second... the "move on.org) add exposed them for left wing military haters and... rather than the "support our troops" rhetoric they spew.. it showed how they really feel about the troops... like the comments by kerrie about how only stupid people ended up in iraq... they hate it being out in the open sooo.. they want to say, in effect.... "everyone does it"

MT, the same thing occurs when someone uses class warfare to try to garner votes and that exact ploy is one of the Dems favorites. By the way, have you ever listened to Air America? Wow, you think Rush is bad!

We're three pages deep into this topic.....and
I'm still waiting for you to produce the quotes that support your accusations that Rush is unpatriotic. Thus far you have given your opinion that he is pompous. He has an agenda, and he is conservative.
That’s not quite unpatriotic.

Oh my God! Rush involved with hookers? I am flabergasted, who knew Rush was a flaming Heterosexual? Burn him at the cross I say.

Haven't read the thread yet but when senators are reduced to focusing prolonged vendettas against radio talk show hosts I have to wonder how long before the end.

ROC · « **Reply #73 on:** October 05, 2007, 07:26:49 PM »

It's actually the Beginning of the Fix. More and more people are starting to actually pay attention to them

Best thing they could have done for Rush is to harp on this 24/7, he's probably got more people tuning in to see what the controversy is, all the while he is replaying things he Actually said and comparing against what they Say he is saying.

Not a bad gig actually

The federal government is currently conducting more than 60 "stolen valor" investigations of individuals suspected of making false claims about their military records, according to the Department of Veteran's Affairs, and about 30 people nationwide have been arrested in the past year for crimes related to falsifying a military record.

Stolen valor typically occurs when someone falsifies documents or produces medals and awards from the military they didn't earn in order to qualify for veterans benefits.

Jeffrey Sullivan, the U.S. attorney in the Western District of Washington, prosecuted Jesse Macbeth of Tacoma, Wash., in the past year as well as five others who falsely claimed heroic military service.

Macbeth, who was sentenced to five months in prison last month, is the person Rush Limbaugh cited on his radio program as an example of a "phony soldier."

For some, federal officials said, the motive for stolen valor is psychological, as a former soldier yearns to be a hero. But for most, the motive is financial, a means of getting certain federal benefits and medical care that come with being a veteran.

"In the six cases we've done, it has resulted in an estimated $1.4 million loss for the Veterans Administration," Sullivan told Cybercast News Service. "There are a significant amount of scam artists and phonies. They take money that legitimate vets deserve."
