I was doing a routine search about the life of Rush Limbaugh. I ran into some wild accusations. I do not want to repeat them. I was shocked because the statements were new to me.
I am wondering if others have run into these and what they think. Here is one link: http://pssht.com/biography/rush_limbaugh.html
I am a paleo-conservative, not a DU troll. I have read FR for almost 7 years and post often.
Great tagline. And having grown up in South Louisiana, tragically true.
For liberals being the party of tolerance and diversity they sure do have a problem with gays dont they? Hmmm ...
What if he is gay? Does it affect the veracity of his work?
If he is gay, he certainly is not a flaming homo and perahps he has made efforts to normalize.
I am not sure the downside is that bad - there is after all the Log Cabin Repubs.
But I still think that Rush is great. And I doubt these rumors are true - if he has marital problems, it is probably due to living in airports and the not insignificant drug problem.
That's because it was a load of Leftist Codswallop, why bother to ladle tht stuff out here?
There were three or for factual items.
Cyst
Failed Tv Show
Divorces
Oxy abuse.
The losers that wrote that article just shoveled a bunch of crap on the known facts.
I find it odd that the most offensive thing a gay Leftist can do to someone is "call them gay"...
So much for the whole "gay pride" thing.
" The popularity and charisma of President Clinton enabled Limbaugh's hate-filled show to appeal to millions of bitter American conservatives. Limbaugh's unique combination of prevarication and histrionics provided a sense of unity for otherwise incompatible demographics, such as Klansmen and Wall Street stock brokers."
Great citation, which exposed the source as just one more lying-lefty and led me to opine as well:
"If the author can be that slanted about us conservatives in general, why should we expect him to be truthful about Limbaugh?"
You hid yours in Rush's back yard too?
Just dang.
You too?!
Okay, how many of us hid the lewt in Rush's back yard?
My apoligies. The link was from a leftist website. If you would have explained yourself, it would have been better.
I thought I did. What I plainly stated was not accepted by many. The logic of some people defies understanding. Since I said I was not a DU troll, that made me one. Therefore if I said I was one, I was not, I suppose.
I have been posting seven years, so that made me a mole! I have never posted on another site.
People could actually read my mind and tell everyone my true intentions, which were not what I plainly stated, no - just the opposite of what I said. I think the level of discourse on this subject has been knuckle-dragging ugga-ugga style.
I did not mean to offend Limbaugh fans. I probably heard him before most of you. My website search started with looking into his birth order, (The Birth Order Book), to see if he was a typical baby of the family. I did not find mind about that, except he has a distinguished younger brother.
I ran across a number of links with accusations. They were new to me, so I asked.
One or two responded with logical, factual posts. Thank you.
I copied the cat firing the weapon graphic. That was hilarious.
My favorite radio host is Barry Young. I also like Liddy and Hill on KFYI. Hannity is good most of the time. I liked Tony Snow when he subbed for Limbaugh.
My sister is so enamored of Limbaugh that she went to watch his show and appeared in the audience. I don't hear him often now because of my work schedule. I watched his show every night when he was on TV. He has probably done more for conservative thought than any other media person.
I agree with the logical, reasonable people that the slanderous links simply put together Rush's weaknesses and wove a bunch of anonymous allegations into them. The website being debated was not a satire as they claimed, but clearly politically motivated.
Uhh, the "alleged homosexual affair" is complete BS. The supposed boyfriend wasd about 15 when he "went to college with Limbaugh".
Yes, that was pointed out before.
Doing the math would have helped.
You touched the third rail, my friend. It instantly turns you into someone to be attacked and scorned by your former comrades in arms.
The line on the bottom should have tipped you off ... " All material herein is intended as parody. " , but every good parody contains elements of the truth.
