Plain talk: Limbaugh should be ashamed, but isn't

Here's something to read when you're gone.

I have seen the scoreboard, it is awesome.

I see Rush as taking the bullet for millions of embryos. He has also changed the rules of "emotional blackmail."

I love October.

[TheDon]

Ann must be chuckling. She has made the point that libs make spokesmen out of people who they think cannot be attacked. Sorry, you step in the arena, you are fair game.

[littlehouse36]

Grounded?

Hope I wasn't too hard on Arlen! I proofread often for my husband and he's used to my playing devil's advocate.

Thanks...

Given the grammar and formatting of your post, I hope he's quite successful.

<< Given the grammar and formatting of your post, I hope he's quite successful. >>

I don't spoon-feed him.

**It will never end until the people stand up and say "enough."**

Okay, I say ENOUGH. Enough trashing Rush. He's a great guy and I love listening to him at work.

Well .. I'm sorry, but I heard the program and Rush has nothing to be ashamed of - nothing at all.

I totally understood where Rush was coming from. I had seen Fox's display of his disease, but for those who hadn't, it's very difficult to watch and it does take a few minutes to adjust. I'm sure Rush was shocked to see him so out of control since his only contact had been seeing Fox on Boston Legal - where Fox does not show those types of symptoms.

But .. now that it's been exposed that Fox has already said he purposefully does not take his medication - and currently that he takes "too much medication". I personally believe Fox knew exactly what he was doing.

I think it's difficult to discover some of these people we admire in showbiz could be so LIBERAL.

Illness or not .. if you enter the political arena .. you have no right to demand sanctuary from accountability. Like Ann Coulter taught us .. the left uses these people as "unasailable" because of an illness .. but no more.

A leftist pacifist socialist who actually never did listen to Rush's now 3 explanations of the same facts about Prop. 2 in Mo. on cloning, and on Fox's being used by the DNC and the Senate candidates in 4 states with his inaccurate statements about stem cells, and the voting records on that issue. Ben Cardin voted against stem cell research. This lefty is uninformed or is lying to smear Rush and the commentators who have tried to report accurately on stem cells and cloning.

You're undoubtedly familiar with his latest outrageousness - claiming that Michael J. Fox was really faking those Parkinson's disease palsied shakes when he cut campaign ads for candidates...to me the most disgusting human beings are those who lie about what others have said and then self-righteously demonize them as disgusting human beings - Limbaugh did not say Fox was faking - he said he either had not taken his medication or was acting to accentuate his symptoms to gain pity - this is now the 'rats favorite strongarm tactic - scream that's unfair and unkind to challenge anything some unfortunate says because it's just not nice - Limbaugh is courageous to stand up to such emotional extortion......

[unspun]

<< Fox's whole presentation was utterly dishonest and just about the candidates he slanders. >>

just } unjust?

not just

I can be a terrible proofreader.

[unspun]

commas never should be used to represent a pause.

The opposite is taught.

Who are you, please? ;-)

[unspun]

Amendment 2 is not lying but its representative ads are.

Incorrect, sad to say. See this article: Missouri Cloning Amendment Deceptively Claims to Ban Cloning

Hey hey hey--how's it going!

[FlipWilson]

The MSM is tantruming because we refuse to stop debating the issues despite the fact that they are, once again, using a victim as a human shield for their agenda. This used to work so well for them in the '70s, '80's and some of the '90's. They thought Michael J. Fox would insulate them from having their lie exposed. It did not and it was Rush who refuted, no NUKED the lie. That is why they are attacking him.

As he said on his show today, by attacking him, they really expose themselves. Not only that, they fall into a rather nice trap. People will read/hear in the MSM about Rush and what he allegedly said or did. Naturally, many will want to tune in to hear what Rush has to say. Oh, at first they will tune in thinking they know the story, thinking that it will confirm everything they heard in the MSM. But an appreciable amount of people end up listening and getting the other side of the story. Rush ends up with a bigger audience and the New Media further erodes the MSM monopoly by destroying the MSM's credibility.

A comma can be used as a pause only when connecting two independent clauses.

Here is one cite of the rule:

Who am I? Certainly not a grammar expert, though I've recently brushed up on the rules since my husband became self-employed. I am a Wife, Mom, Catholic, Conservative, Southerner, Ebay seller, genealogist, Cat Lover, etc.

[TigersEye]

Good for you. I guess I misunderstood where you were coming from. Rush is indeed taking the heat for all of us by taking the lead in bursting the victim-shield bubble the liberals use.

[littlehouse36]

Oh, what a tangled web they weave!

Thanks for the link.

If your husband has a good self-employment idea, feel free to FReepmail me.   ;-)
