Limbaugh spent a lot of time yesterday on 9/11 and Iraq War...
attempting to explain that the president never said they were "connected". Only that Iraq was connected to terrorism and the war on terror. They are spinning like a ferris wheel trying to explain away the lie that got us into this quagmire in Iraq.

1. They're desperate
They're trying to prop up the dead horse of Iraq -- Al Qaeda/9/11 connections again.

Check out this thread I posted yesterday:

O'Leilly and Mark Levinne were pushing the same thing yesterday.

2. If he had said Bush is connected to both of them that would be an
accurate statement.

3. I am sure it was preceded by a call from KKKarl
Hey Rush old buddy ol' pal, If I can score you some of the good stuff will you spend most of your show supporting our propaganda?

Thanks you old softy

4. Verbal technicalities are not leadership.
For example, if I were to make the following statements:

"For several years, Rush Limbaugh was addicted to prescription drugs. Today, Rush Limbaugh is a big fat flaming ass."

It would sound like I was setting up a cause and effect relationship there, wouldn't it? If you didn't know jack-all about Limbaugh before that statement? But, of course, even thought it SOUNDS like I connected those two facts, I did not.

Everyone knows Limbaugh was a big fat flaming ass long before he started popping pills.

5. Rush Limbaugh was addicted to prescription drugs.
I didn't realize you could get your prescriptions filled in a Denny's parking lot? He was/is a dope addict. Why try and sanatize it by saying prescription drug abuse.

6. I'd only heard about the prescription drugs, so that's all I mentioned.
Believe me, I'll be every bit as mean about Limbaugh as I possibly can be, as long as I know I'm not lying.

9. Q: What's the difference between Rush Limbaugh
and the Hindenberg?

A: One's a flaming Nazi gasbag and the other one's a dirigible.

11. In defense of Rush...
I don't think he's NEARLY as fat as he used to be...I think it might have been the drugs...

14. But of course...
Oh yes, but I think he may have transcended mere ass-ness and become closer in relation to the urinary tract...

7. Freeptards and Ditto heads believe there are a finite amount of terrorists
and aaaaaaaalll we have to do is kill them all and that will be that. we all live happily ever after.

they are too clueless to realize that stomping around the world blowing things up, propping up dictators, doing business with governments who participate in human rights violations, and selling arms to foreign countries so they'll start wars with their neighbors, will keep the rat on the wheel so that the u.s. will have an endless supply of terrorists to fight.

oh wait! the patriotically correct thing to say is: they hate us for our freedom. yeah.. that's it.
