Pigboy Limbaugh's fuzzy math on significance of U.S. casualties in Iraq

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

This is a screen shot from his front page (http://www.rushlimbaugh.com/home/today.guest.html)...

1. Are drug overdoses included in the poisoning number?

[melissinha]

2. Limpballs is sick

Does he ever have any shame???

[DeaconBlues]

3. somebody needs to tell Rush that those other deaths were accidental

The deaths of our troops were completely avoidable, and thats what makes them particularly tragic.

[Don Claybrook]

4. right out of the gate

He can now and forevermore shut the f**k up about Ted Kennedy circa 1969--after all, that was only one death.

And maybe, since 2300 is no big deal, we could work out some sort of tradeoff whereby Bush brings all the troops home, and Limbaugh agrees to have his head sawed off in Iraq. One more death is obviously no big deal, and he's been so supportive of this war that he should jump at the chance.

5. Number of Pro-war supporters in NYC on Sunday = 0 n/t

[Vickers]

6. By his own logic, we shouldn't even be pissed about 9/11

Hell, that was only 3,000 or so.

11. Interesting how that wasn't on the list. Good one! nt

7. Number of pimple-assed draft evaders who feel justified in supporting

an unnecessary war and won't shut their fucking mouths: at least one

[sui generis]

8. will someone please just convert him into biodiesel

there's enough bullshit in him to run a medium sized fishing village for a year, boats and all.

Here's one for the Survivor Facts Challenge:

Which of the following statements is NOT true

sui generis is related to limbaugh through a former unlawful marriage (cousin)
sui generis IS big bird on sesame street

DISCLAIMER: Yes indeedy. It's genetic right down to the oxycontin induced sociopathy, et al. That's why we're no longer married.

9. odor would be a problem

but great idea anyway! (Sorry to hear about your, er, relation)

:rofl:

10. OK, Math. I like math

Number of people in US: 300 million. 304,000 deaths = 1 in a 1000 (0.001)

Troops in Irzq: 150,000 casualties/month 63.8 dead 461.7 wounded = 3 per 1000 (.003)

You have to talk casualties....17,000 wounded

We are destroying another generation of American youth.

12. Time to e-mail the loser.

How dare that lazy, vainglorious jackass wrap himself in the American flag and downplay the deaths of thousands of people.

E-mail Limbaugh at [e-mail].

13. Republicans enjoy trivializing the sacrifices of soldiers and families.
