But whatever, you’re right. Rush has never said one factual thing! Just straight lies homey. The country is going along swell.

Also, they won’t be confused with Russert because they are still alive.

waka waka!

/i get your point and agree…i was being facetious with stewart and colbert

Their rhetoric is nothing alike. Rush, especially these days, is willing to blatantly racebait and lie, and there isn’t that winking sarcasm. Stewart, it should also be said, is a lot more centrist than progressive.

it’s entertainment and, lets face it, neither are going to be confused with tim russert or fareed zakaria anytime soon.

Israel has hidden nukes that everyone in the region is aware of. Piss off Israel, you’ll have a 5 megaton nuke coming in no time. I remember reading that Isreal was ready to send one to Baghdad back in the Gulf War.

and the surrounding countries have pretty much shown how much of a shit they give about their citizens.

jon stewart and colbert?

He’s also a lot more popular. He may be a Big Fat Idiot, but he’s the #1 talk show broadcaster of the last 20 years. The other two have shows on Comedy Central.

israel might have a nice military, i find it hard to believe that the combined force of the arab nations against them wouldn’t be anything but a rout without the US sitting on the sidelines looking all ominous and shit.

Really? Maybe in terms of audience size but… Really?

BTW, I love the constant “the left says the same thing!!1!” canard. There is no left wing equivalent of Rush Limbaugh, wish though you might.

jon stewart and colbert?

I’m not here to defend Rush.

OK.

He’s OK in my book.

Uh.

So Rush doesn’t say extremely offensive things on the hour? The point the man was making holds a lot of water.

Keeping this in the sports spectrum… Chris Harris is upset ppl are getting on RM for his ‘opinions’. He therefore compares him to a guy that was fired for offering his opinion and says RM is the victim? I’m not suggesting what Rush said is valid, just that pointing to a guy that got fired as never getting in trouble is moronic.

And if that’s offensive to you, how is what he says anymore offensive than what is said on the left past and present but pundits and talk show hosts.

I was driving into CHicago one day and these guys devoted an entire hour to what Glenn Beck had said on radio earlier in the day. Why the fuck are you breaking down what the opposition is saying? 1). You’re giving him free pub, 2). It ruins your show and 3). I doubt your audience gives a rats ass what a certified lunatic/money grubber Glenn Beck has to say about anything.

I’m not here to defend Rush. He’s OK in my book. A little too neo-con for my blood. What do you deem extremely offensive? And if that’s offensive to you, how is what he says anymore offensive than what is said on the left past and present but pundits and talk show hosts.

i dunno bout that considering that rush limbaugh is almost universally viewed as a total fucking asshat.

There’s a whole system of beliefs (Wahabism) that informed everything Osama did that precludes the sort of syncretic infiltration you’re suggesting. It’s a very “burn-them-all”/fascistic little sect.

Can’t remember the guy’s name, but the founder/theological light behind Wahhabism lived in Greeley, CO back in the…wanna say ’30s, and credited that experience with his later radicalization. Thanks a lot, Greeley.

Ron Paul has been repeating that for the past decade or more. He may have an isolationist POV which I can’t fully support. But at least he speaks his mind and doesn’t flip flop.

Gary Johnson for President.
