A public spat between Rush Limbaugh and Democratic Iowa Senator Tom Harkin has now hit both the Senate floor and the airwaves. The bout of nastiness began on Nov. 7 when Harkin presented a defense bill calling for fair and balanced programming on the Armed Forces Radio. While Limbaugh’s conservative show is broadcast on the network, listeners are not offered a liberal alternative, says Harkin. He’d like to see a liberal talk show like Ed Schultz or Al Franken added. Limbaugh was not pleased, so on his show the next day he referred to Harkin as “Dung Heap.” More recently, Harkin lambasted Limbaugh on the senate floor, saying Limbaugh “wouldn’t know the truth if it hit him in the face,” according to the Des Moines Register. And Limbaugh has taken to calling the senator “Dung Heap” Harkin on the air. This was a reference to a comment made by Harkin years ago, in which he called Bill Clinton’s impeachment charges “a pile of dung,” according to the Register.
I must disagree with Rush on this one. Harkin is not a dung heap. He's more of a steaming turd.....
"These dems are so childish and petty! None of them have a sense of humor."
SO TRUE! I expect one of them to start crying on the floor of the Senate (ala RINOvitch), "Those mean Republicans are calling me names!" BOO-HOO-HOO!!
He called the impeachment charges a dung heap.
Farmers have been duly insulted
From here on I'll just call him "The Dunger".
The Adopt a Soldier program I heard mentioned but, near as I could tell, based on the description given by the guest host the other day, was that soldiers would sign up and listeners would purchase a 24/7 subscription to be donated to each soldier? Is that what I really heard?
I think it was Rush that said that to Democrats, history started this morning. It doesn't matter what they said before, it doesn't matter what went before, or what their opponent said before. Democrats will say what is politically expedient today and will be very indignant if their previous words, actions or statements are used to show their own hypocrisy.
Their views "evolved". What they said or did before, doesn't matter.
They should have a survey for the troops and ask them, "Which show would you prefer to be broadcast on AFRTS, Rush Limbaugh or Al Franken"?
Tough one, huh?
One of life's great truisms!
Whats dung heaps problem?
....From his statement, he believes Rush "is on all week" (24/7). Gee, is this ahole really that far out of touch or is it a prerequisite to be stupid in order to be a Senator?
He claimed to be a Combat Veteran when the closest he was to combat was Japan.
But why be so mean to Dung Heaps??
I offer an apology from every conservative in the great state of Iowa for our state sending "Comrade" Tom Harkin to the United States Senate.
He truly represents the worst of human nature.
But why be so mean to Dung Heaps??
That would make her a Dungheapaphobe. This bigotry has got to stop!
Yup! Yup! The Dung Heap is steaming!
That means he's starting to mulch. Soon, he'll be turned back into dirt.
To answer your question - YES.
Is this the Left and "Dung-Heap" riding to the rescue of Air America?
The network is BEGGING for donations, and involved in scamming charities...so what better thing to do than give them a nice fat Gub'Mint contract that requires no bid, and is all gravy for the Left!
Gee, Limbaugh wasn't an offered choice, and the Military's own members WROTE him in...why isn't there the same "Grass (smoking) Roots effort for "Err America"?
Or is the Left just that bankrupt, and this is merely an admission that they have NO ability to compete in the arena of ideas?
I bet if you scratched the surface, you'd see communiques from Err America to the Left-wing kooks screaming to be given Gub'Mint largesse!
