I usually ignore Rush, but: US Military is now "meals on wheels"

[G_j]

just heard this on the Ed Show.

I am so disgusted, I don't often bother to comment on the idiot either, but this really shows what a foul excuse for a human he is.
He's the type of guy who would see someone dying in the street, and walk right on by.
:argh:

[gateley]

1. And isn't his show broadcast on Armed Forces Radio? Nice. nt

[CoffeeCat]

2. Maybe the good people in our armed forces..

...will be the ones to kick Rush to the curb, and boot him off AFR.

We've always wanted that to happen, but maybe the way for this to happen is
if the soldiers finally say, "Enough of this asshat."

I'm sure our soldiers are happy to help, and it is a worthwhile cause.

[Pullya Pudov]

24. And the good people (one at least) answer!

Affirmative, CC...I was actually pleased when asscarrot made his 'meals on wheels' crack. Think about it. This is the first military deployment in quite a while that everybody is getting behind. 'Nation Building'? Meh! 'Nation Rescuing'? Yeah, I can dig it...

3. "The U.S. military is now Meals on Wheels. It always is with Democrat presidents"

5. perfect nt

[Bobbieo]

9. This may be the thing that gets him off of Armed Forces Radio!

[G_j]

13. I hope so

that chicken hawk should ask them what THEY think about helping out earthquake victims.

[Pullya Pudov]

21. If only we could...

Greetings, DU. Well, G_j, your wish is my command. Most of us think that Rush-bo is sick comic relief, and that, as opposed to listening to his ass-holiness, more worthwhile endeavors would include watching grass grow, watching paint peel, contemplating the philosophical ramifications of 'Ren and Stimpy' and other such time-wasters. Personally, I'd like to see him broadcast live from Bikini Atoll the next time we do a test shot from Vandenberg AFB for the purpose of fine-tuning the RV on an old Minuteman. But unfortunately, the rank-and-file has something approaching 10% of Jack-**** as far as influence goes concerning AFRTS (Armed Forces Radio & Television) broadcasting lineup, those shots are called at a much higher level. Making a long one a bit shorter, the majority of us in uniform think he blows goats and goes back for seconds, but we can't do much other than put in a good CD.

[G_j]

23. right on

it's degrading to the men and women who wake up every day living a commitment, a contract to serve.
nothing like the likes of him


on edit: I almost forgot to welcome you to DU!

:toast:

[Pullya Pudov]

26. Well, thanks!

Appreciate the welcome. Hoping to find some like-minded souls here. DU is my first attempt at joining a forum. I figure, go for quality.

[G_j]

27. if you look for it

you will find a wealth of information here, as an example, many recent posts on the history of Haiti.
I've learned a lot here.
It's great to have military folks here, we need you.

[Faygo Kid]

4. He's human?

I haven't thought so for 20 years.

He is fetid pile of fecal matter. With apologies to fecal matter.

[Froward69]

6. Compleate pile of shit

without the methane...

7. Limbaugh and Beck Masturbate on Haiti

First, Limbaugh accuses the president of using the military for "meals on wheels."


Next, an obviously sick Glenn Beck thinks the president is "dividing the country" by responding so quickly to Haiti, but not quickly enough to the Underpants Bomber -- as though any reasonable person would believe that these events deserve an equal response.

Let's be clear here. The de facto leaders of the Republican Party think the president has reacted too quickly to a natural disaster. Too quickly.

Yep. Around half of this country is living in a realm of backwards delusion and fantasy.

8. Jesus Christ. He would be happier if we went down there and killed every survivor. nt

[ddeclue]

10. When are they gonna take that bastard off of Armed Forces Radio?

[necso]

11. Part of this clown's schtick

(like others of his sick, sad ilk... a tired, old, unoriginal schtick, I must ad) is pissing-off people: both those who aren't his thralls ("bot"-boys, if you don't find this too unpc) -- and those who are.

And pissing-off (hurting, offending, bullying, etc) those who aren't rush-bots is a great joy to those who are.

Now, I'm sure most people at some point in their lives have some experience of these sorts of ghouls, creeps, psychos. And generally it's better not to give them the pleasure, satisfaction of reacting as they wish.

[Aristus]

12. And yet, right-wingers always brag about how our military is building schools and hospitals

over in Iraq. How is that any different?

(Of course, they always leave out the inconvenient truth that what our troops are doing is RE-building the schools and hospitals they bombed back in 2003.)

:eyes:

14. Our first Cold War victory was Meals on Wheels

Ever heard of the Berlin Airlift? The US Air Force led a coalition to defeat the Soviets by flying around the clock supplies into Berlin.

[Sherman A1]

16. Precisely

Something I mentioned to my spouse last evening when the news report said that the tarmac at the airport was full.... Gee, we landed planes in Berlin every minute for months on end.

15. He'd walk on by, *after* picking the guy's pockets and laughing at him.

17. Daddy Bush sent the U.S. military half way around the world to deliver food.

Somalia.

[G_j]

19. at the very least, one might entertain the concept of helping a neighbor

family values and all..

[nadinbrzezinski]

18. Ok so THAT's where that talking pont came from

I was wondering. A righty when I went out told me this.

I told him... sure, and your problem with this is? They should have been meals on wheels during Katrina...

He paled, and then went for the other favorite... but the world...

BULLSHIT... and I started listing all the international aide...

He was angry, but what can you do?

[G_j]

20. there are a couple of examples in this thread

of the military delivering food in emergencies.
If someone could ever actually ask Rush a few questions, instead, his zombie minions must go out and enlighten us all.
They get asked the questions Rush needs to answer, because they have nothing but Rush's garbled fantasy to draw on.

[Quantess]

22. What a jerk!

[Generator]

25. Course he has a problem when they feed people

When they slaughter, rape, or torture innocents, not so much.
