2. Maybe they mean old-style libs..?
Not new-style, take-a-page-from-conservatives libs who give as good as they get.

I knew this is how they would spin this:actually using people's compassion as a brick to bash them over the head with should they question anything a neo-con does.

Screw Rush. If anything, this proves the karmic wheel moves slowly, but it does move.

4. We call them "Hypoditts" for Hypocrital dittoheads...
No use responding to where they're trying to set the agenda.

We set our own agenda from now on.

6. I have sympathy for him
as I would with anyone in his situation. I also think that if he broke the law he should be buried UNDER the jail...:)

Irony is just great isn't it?

12. Or maybe...
"What an irony - Limabaugh is helping you espouse my compassionate Liberal values!"

I've been relishing that irony for days, myself. Haven't you?

The other day, I visited a Yahoo message board that was like a mosh pit. Rush was the topic. One guy responded to my first posting with nasty epithets. We had a short dialog where each of his responses was worse than the previous. I finally asserted that his responses were distictly unamerican and he never responded after that. Wish I'd thought of that initially.

15. I have sympathy for his know-nothing devotees,
not for Limbaugh.

The man is a hate-mongering demagogue who knows what he's been doing for years and has profited handsomely from it. It's his faithful listeners who don't know better than to trust him and have let their worldviews be warped by his whom I pity.

the tender hearted woman and the snake
After she had compassion for the poor half frozen snake and took him in and laid him by the fireside with some honey and some milk, when she hugged him he gave her a poisonous bite.



"Shut up foolish woman," said the serpant with a grin, "you knew damn well I was a snake before you took me in"

18. He has pretty much sacrificed any compassion.
I wish that the machinery of justice works properly. He gets no more from me.

20. The funniest thing about the 5,000 anti-compassion threads...
that have been on the boards since this started, is that ya'll act like you have a guilty conscience - knowing you should be acting in a way that you aren't and repeatedly trying to justify it over and over again. :D

Hmmm...
