Conservatives (Rush & Sean) in ads? It's not right (Whiney Liberal Alert)

I took my daughter to a double- header at the local minor- league park on Father's Day. The first game was good, but we left before the second one. I couldn't take the commercials. Every time the pitcher stopped to scratch himself, the loudspeakers would take advantage of the lull by blaring out an invitation for me to eat something, drink something or sue somebody.

But how can Rush Limbaugh, for example, attack the New York Times for selling out

Rush attacked the NY Times for "selling out"?

I asked him if Paul Mulshine was being paid to tailor his articles in favor of certain DNC ideals.

"The answer is: Who knows?" Silverman replied. "There's huge potential for abuse. My suspicion is that there is probably no direct payment but there is probably indirect payment, all kinds of benefits of various kinds: travel, resorts, dining, whatever."

Mushline cannot be that intelligent if he does not understand the difference between opinion/entertainment such as Rush / Hannity and allegedly "objective journalism" (i.e. non biased) such as Dan Rather et al. If Rush were claiming to be an "objective" news reporter, then his doing ads might be a problem, but since he is not, there is no problem. How anyone can believe this is hypocrytical is a mystery.

With that said, you are right that we are too quick to label someone a whiny liberal. Instead, we should simply label the particular argument. In this case, I would lable this particular argument asinine.

Good question, I am guessing this guy is somehow deludeing himself into not only believing that he is actually a Conservative/Republican but that he is somehow a "Conservative" leader, Bigger than Rush, Sean or Newt and his views are the standard of the party/movement.

And since he believes because he doesn't like smoking (even if it's on someone else's private property) or SUVs that the government has a right to ban or restrict their use and because he believes it all other Conservatives/Republicans must also and if they don't there must be some evil outside influence on them. Hence Rush isn't really against smoking bans on private property and all his talk about being against governmental intrusions is BS, Rush really believes like the grand Pobah of Conservatives Paul Mulshine believes but he sold out (behind the sceens, With no way to prove it of course)to the tobacco/auto companies.

Instead of Whiney Liberal Alert, I should have made it a

Delusional Whiney Liberal Alert

Actually I can't wait until his next column because all this Liberal whacko has been writing about recently is how great it would be to bring a total smoking ban like they have in New York to New Jersey, Well thankfully as of yesterday the Assembly rejected it so unless it is a trick there will be no meaningfull smoking ban in New Jersey

His Lunatic rantings will be good for a great laugh!!
