Rush calling for "open-mindedness"

[eleny]

This is absolutely incredible. He's asked in general about how when we're young - did we want to be liked. How we can go along to be liked. It's all in the framework of his being outspoken on ESPN. But it seems to go deeper when he asked us to think about the grey areas of life.

It's incredible to me that he would ever ask for open mindedness. And also how during political campaigns we can't be afraid to say what we think. He's never lived by these notions.

Going now to watch Kerry on C-Span. I need a reality check. Rush's twilight zone is too much for me.

1. bahahahah

Rush Limbaugh pleading for open-mindedness. The end is nigh!

[DrGonzoLives]

2. As soon as he gets open-minded

about, well, anything, I'll be happy to return the favor.

[eleny]

8. It does sound like he's laying some groundwork

I'd like to be charitable. But if he's opting to beseech his listeners to reflect liberal attitudes toward him - well, that it ticks me off. I hope that someone takes him aside and talks the serious talk. He's not doing his followers any good with this double stadard.

Omigosh! He just said that he *is* diversity because of his talent. Leaves me speechless.

edit: for spelling

3. "Rush calls for open-mindedness"

Wonders never cease. That has to be what I would have considered the least likely headline ever.

7. Rush and Openmindedness?

talk about oxymorons . . that is oxy-moron.

[Dogmudgeon]

10. Oxy-Moron? Oxy-Contin?

Oxy something?

Interesting to note, the original Greek root, oxys, means "sharp".

Hmm...

5. The day Rush opens his mind

(to the idea that the liberal side isn't all bad)

is the day science discovers a black hole located in Florida.

6. GRAY AREAS!?!

When did the Pilodinal Cyst EVER see a gray area??? What a hypocrite. And to think, there have been sympathy posts for this danger to our nation posted on this board!! Aargh!!!

[elfwitch]

9. Of course he did...

It is the old do as I say, not as I do schtick. He deserves a break because he is being wronged by the "liberal media". :nopity: Just like Bennett and all the others were expected to be treated gently. Poor things just fell off the wagon of rightousness. :cry: We can't pick on them because they are good and pious men.

RIGHT!!! :grr:

13. Here's the TOLL FREE Number and Email for Rush's open mind

This is what I sent:

OUTRAGED

This Skinhead - Pill Popper is famous for preaching family
values and morality. This viscious hypocrite, like Bill Bennett,
has no business preaching his filth to this country or to our armed
services. Popping 4700 Oxycontin a month is not my family value. If
you dont take him off the air, I will ask the FCC and my Senators and
Congressman to take your company off the air.

22. Oooh, here's a good tack... complain to the FCC!

http://ftp.fcc.gov/Bureaus/Wireless/Orders/2001/fcc01359.doc

Above is a proceeding by the FCC to pull the amateur radio license of Kevin Mitnick, convicted hacker...

I quote:

Based on the information before us, we believe that Mr. Mitnick’s criminal behavior raises a substantial and material question of fact as to whether he possesses the requisite character qualifications to be and remain a Commission licensee. Because we are unable to make a determination that grant of Mr. Mitnick’s application would serve the public interest, convenience, and necessity, ...

Here's another:

http://ftp.fcc.gov/Bureaus/Wireless/Orders/2002/fcc01392.doc

Folks, if Limbaugh's on your station, complain to the FCC- clearly Limbaugh DOES NOT have the requisite character to be on a licensed station.

If they can pull an AMATEUR'S license, they probably can pull a professional license (ha ha Clear Channel!)

A few hundred complaints to the FCC and Limbaugh would, I think, be permanently retired.

11. hypocritical horseshit

What he's basically saying is that he, for the express purpose of his current circumstances, seeks to abandon his confrontational self and become a nice guy: "Let me revert to my youth," he's begging. "Please, like me! I want to go to the prom, too!"

[JHB]

12. Rush Vs Rush

Now: "open mindedness"

Then:
Let's all admit something.
There's nothing good about drug use. We know it. It destroys individuals. It destroys families. Drug use destroys societies. Drug use, some might say, is destroying this country. And we have laws against selling drugs, pushing drugs, using drugs, importing drugs. And the laws are good because we know what happens to people in societies and neighborhoods which become consumed by them. And so if people are violating the law by doing drugs, they ought to be accused and they ought to be convicted and they ought to be sent up.


Now: "grey areas"

Then:
What this says to me is that too many whites are getting away with drug use. Too many whites are getting away with drug sales. Too many whites are getting away with trafficking in this stuff. The answer to this disparity is not to start letting people out of jail because we're not putting others in jail who are breaking the law. The answer is to go out and find the ones who are getting away with it, convict them and send them up the river, too.

14. Thanks JHB. I'm gonna send it to clear channel and CNN and

ABC and everyone else. Great find.

31. THAT should be sent to the media

AND Rush...just as a little reminder of how big a hypocrite he is!

[maha]

15. HA HA HA HA HA!

Rush calls for open-mindedness? Oh dear, that is TOO funny. It's like Hitler asking why we can't all just get along.

[eleny]

16. So - how soon will he check into a facility?

I say it will be before Monday. He's trying to hold it together but I think he's losing his mind.

[Cat Atomic]

17. Absolutely. I'll be open-minded, accept him, and forgive him.

As soon as he stops profiting by promoting closed-mindedness and hatred.

[XanaDUer]

19. Do you think he meant that peer pressure

(the need to be liked when younger) made him say what he did on ESPN, or that he was using drugs to be popular?

:shrug:

[ibegurpard]

20. Fuck him

Live by the sword, die by the sword.

[Faygo Kid]

23. Succinct, and well said

And I never use profanity on this forum. In this case, though, it was eloquent.

[yankeeinlouisiana]

21. Does anyone know

or heard how he got on pain pills? This doesn't seem like something he would go out looking for. Did he have a medical condition a few years ago that he needed pain medication for?

Any ideas?

[JHB]

25. Perchance...

...an anal cyst?

[E_Zapata]

26. there are no fewer than 1000 threads in LBN and GD that

covers all of those questions ad nauseum.

Check 'em out. It's an amazing turn of events.

[E_Zapata]

24. wow, his sudden DETOX schedule has tweaked his sense of reality....

guffaw.......

[opihimoimoi]

28. He needs an OPEN MIND LOBOTOMY

Who the Hell believes a guy with sores on his ass and brains??

[eleny]

27. No open mindedness for Clark, now?

Hmmmm....

[ignatius]

29. FORGEDDABOUT IT. You made your bed, now shut your yap, quit your

whining and stand up to it like a man for a change.

[BattyDem]

30. bwahahahahahahah!!!

Oh thanks ... I needed that laugh!
