Some moronic know-it-all thinks he got the best of Rush on a phone call a few minutes ago, but all he did was show what passes for "debate" in their pathetic world.
Rush was dissecting the guy's arguments in favor of unbridled lawsuit awards. When the guy saw that he had no arguments left, he resorted to (as always) the patented Personal Attack. He accused Rush of having sued someone, Rush stated he could not recall ever doing so.
But, as always, the liberal robot missed the point. Rush was not railing against lawsuits, but lawsuit abuse and the fat cat trial lawyers who get rich by suing companies to the point of bankruptcy.
actually it is rather easy if it was long ago. Especially if it was a tiny amount. Many times a matter is just handed over to lawyers who have complete authority to deal with it.
I don't know, either. As a smoker I keep waiting to sign up for the free health care it was supposed to buy me.
Yeah. He said he would do some research and find out that Rush had sued someone. I guess the "research" would consist of entering "Limbaugh+lawsuit" on Google and parroting whatever he found.
Probably, it sounded like he was reading it.
lol. Caller didn't realize he came to a gunfight armed with a butter knife.
I've always thought that the "tobacco litigation scam" was Hillary Clinton's idea. After all, she was astute and crooked enough to get involved in "flipping properties" during the Savings and Loan thievery.
Hillary was big buddies with people like John O'Quinn. Who has been taking the money he received from the tobacco scam and funneling it back to Democrats.
Imagine if Kerry and Edwards get elected. The trial lawyers will have a field day. Frankly, I imagine the REAL reason Kerry picked Edwards was the money. I bet trial lawyers are pouring money into every Democratic pocket they can find.
Imagine who they can sue once again with the gov't behind them. Tobacco? Energy? Bill Gates again? Etc, etc.
The main problems with the Clintons was that they were lawyers. Lawyers will stip mine everything they get their hands on. We need to keep them away from the US Treasury.
A newbie from that other site, huh!
Free for the free exchange of ideas, not as a depository for every nutball crackpot river of lying bilge.
See the difference?
Free also applies to freedom of association. As in being free to tell idiots like you to take a hike.
You might not remember all thne details but you would sure as the devil remember thhe fact that you did file the suit.
Rush was trying to dodge the question.
For one thing, I think he sued the Palm Beach Co. state attorney over his medical records.
You are so correct!
I heard it live, as well.
I guess you pretty much hear what you want regardless of what is actually being said.
heh ;)
Maybe because it was none of the robot's d&%* business.
Kerry chose edwards because he brings his personal money and the plaintiff trial lawyers money.
Bush chose Cheney who brought experience and managment skills.
Trial lawyers may be the money but teacher unions are the shock troops.
BTW Notice how the media is blacking out the fact the FEDERAL MARRIAGE AMENDMENT is being voted on NEXT WEEK!
That issue must hurt democrats.
And your point is, nailing Rush on a technicality is more important than discussing the deleterious effects of "class lawsuits"? I can't remember if I have filed lawsuits. Why? The wording on defending yourself against bogus lawsuits can read as "lawsuit"; as opposed to, in non-legal reality world, it is, in fact. Nah; he handled that thorny issue as best he could. It was a "when did you stop beating your wife" type question from the caller, IMHO
You may be right. The lefty Rush was talking to may have been a lawyer. And maybe he knew of new lawsuit Rush filed. Which is a matter of public record.
The guy caught Rush flatfooted. And that's something you don't hear too often.
