A New Attack on Rush

Does Soros pay Brock more than ErrAmerika pays alFranken?

Maybe. Actually, Hitlery got a hold of Brock's FBI File, and he has never been the same, since! ;-)

You called it right, even if it was deleted!!!

You can no longer call people what Brits call a handrolled cigarette????

That's not the same thing, Franken explained: "Rush's message is that liberals hate America, while NPR is straight-ahead reporting and journalism.

If I understand Mr Franken's statement, he is saying that NPR has started echoing Rush's message? Wonderful!

[gitmo]

The reality is that the talk-radio market in the United States is not balanced; conservatives have been far more successful than liberals in making a product that people want to hear.

The problem here is the commentator is misapplying the word 'balanced'. His vision of balance is based on opinions. If you applied this definition to building a house, doors would open or shut on their own, windows would jam, and a marble placed on the floor would roll to one end of the house. That's why we use a plumbline as the standard in constructing a house, not opinion.

Balance should be centered on truth, not on opinion. If you use truth as the standard for measuring balance, NPR is far from balanced. Rush is pretty darned close to plumb.

But if I really say it... The radio won't play it... So I guess I'll hafta lay it... BETWEEN THE LINES!!!

Thanks for the links. Your links remind me of how strange these days are for the ACLU, backing Rush in this case and the NRA in CFR, while their heroes Alan Dershowitz(sp?) and Laurence Tribe say the Second Amendment recognizes an individual right.

If I remember right, Rush is only on for one hour. Perhaps a member of our fighting forces can confirm this. If so, I will write a letter to Rumsfeld encouraging him to broadcast all three hours of Rush's show.

You remember correctly (but I'm not a member of our fighting forces) and I said the same thing on another thread. Stick it in their eye by putting him on 3 hours a day.

Bizzare, isn't it?

For the record, Rush didn't condone the so called abuses, he just thinks they were over reacted to for political purposes, as do I!!!!

Exactly. I agreed pretty much with everything Rush said.

Not only have the abuses been blown totally out of perspective for political purposes, but now they are doing the same thing with Rush's comments.
The deceitfulness of the left knows no bounds.
