Are we doing a lot of Rush's "research" work for him???
I tuned into Rush today purposely to hear what his take would be on Tony Snow's illness, and if there was any contradiction to his take on Elizabeth Edwards. My opinion is after he mouthed his sorrow for Tony's illness, he just said it had been a bad week so far, considering Elizabeth's announcement, the Gonzales investigation and now Tony Snow. Pretty much left the illnesses at that. He then picked up on four negative articles written about Obama re his "not ready for prime time" and other postings I had seen earlier on DU. He then mentioned how smart the Repukes were to give a yes vote to the Iraq funding bill ASAP so it can be sent to GWB for an immediate veto, and another great DU post re Goodling taking the 5th. I mention this because his wording on these items seemed to be, to be almost verbatim. I have to laugh if he's getting his info from DU, evidently doesn't trust the Freeper or Faux sites. Has anyone else noticed this?

2. Perhaps Piggy finally has found a source of reliable info and rational opinion.
More power to him.

3. Turn that SHIT off. It's a waste of brain cells AND time.
How often can you listen to a baboon screetch?

If he steps on his crank any more than usual, one of the blogs will cover it.

I can't imagine wasting my time on that crap. "Oppo research" notwithstanding, that's just pure shit, and why wade through it if you do not need to?

6. Oh I did turn him off, can only do that for a while. I'm actually cleaning
and he makes me work faster to get it over with. Some "father" called to brag that he and the wife had just signed papers for their 17 year-old to go into the Marines as soon as he turned 18. It made me ill and I wanted to call Children's Services to get these people for child abuse.. Had to turn it off and have stopped the cleaning for a moment..

8. No, it's just that Rush has little to no compassion.

Therefore, he's going to sink to the lowest level. I live in the heart of right wing paradise (upscale housing south of the beltway). As such I know that the right wingers are praying for HRC to win the nomination. In fact, many are going to go to vote for her in our open democratic primaries. The foregoing explains why Rush is frothing at the mouth to make Obama irrelevant. Obama would be a true threat to the Republicans in the General Election.

You honestly have to wonder when FOX and right wing "hate radio" have it out for ONE particular candidate.

As soon as that nomination comes through, the right wing is going to pounce with all they've got. It will make a difference as HRC is so polarizing of a figure.

Ask yourself, "Has our beloved Big Dog been physically faithful after 10 year affair with Flowers and his romp with Lewinsky?" If Bill has been physically unfaithful, you better believe the right wing will whip out 8 X 10 glossy photos along with names and dates. :wow:

To put it concisely, the right wing M$M along with their trained corporate M$M whores (both TV and hate radio) are "on a mission" to give HRC the nomination. THEN an orchestrated smear campaign will emerge, the likes of which we've never seen. :scared:

9. His staff probably picked up much of that information here:
http://thinkprogress.org/

Or else, he's just going by the right wing talking points faxed from the WH Press Office.

10. I don't listen to Rush. Can't stand him.
He has no room to talk about anyone else's problems.

He's fat. Bigoted. Arrogant. A drug addict. An enabler. A liar. And very likely a closet homosexual.

He does a disservice to every one of his listeners by not telling them the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.

He has no room to talk, and shouldn't be on the air.
