More Evidence Rush is a Lurker on Free Republic...

Rush Limbaugh Show | 11/24/2003 | Pyro7480

Rush just used the word "schadenfreude." It's more evidence Rush is a lurker on here...

[NutmegDevil]

Way to go, DefCon. Those Americans have no knowledge of Deutsch pronuncification. I heard Mario Coumo get the first syllable correct but miss the "Duh!" Did Homer Simpson pronounce it correctly?

[Willie Green]

His use of the word is in no way evidence that he is a lurker.
It is a pertty common word.
Rush is a lurker though, but this is not evidence of it.

I certainly agree with you on this one.
Hell, IMHO this has to rank as one of the most pathetic excuses for a vanity I've seen posted in over 5 years.

I think it deserves a ZOT!

[BlackbirdSST]

I've heard Rush use the words Free and Republic all in the same day, so this must be true! Blackbird.

[CounterCounterCulture]

I'm hoping Rush starts talking about the counter-counter-culture. William F. Buckley has. :-)

[Shermy]

Limbaugh a lurker? You mean like his taking the line today that the so-called "neocon" foreign policy of Bush is remarkably similar to the "liberal" policy of JFK?

I think so...

[Willie Green]

I don't get it.

Pretty sad, isn't it?
I may not be the biggest Rush fan on this forum,
but I DO believe that if we want to retain him as a lurker,
the intellectual level of discussion has to be propped up a bit.

Use of a word does not a lurker make, but THIS does.

Congressman Billybob's column was special to FR.

[Fresh Wind]

More evidence was the time he let the phrase "barf alert" slip out, in the same context it is used here.

[RoseofTexas]

Yep! Hugh and Series would do it for me...LOL! HI RUSHIE :) x*x*x*

[Grampa Dave]

Please help an old man.

What the heck is counter-counter-culture?

By the way kudos on a great home page!

[ffusco]

Hearing Rush use the word Shadenfruede fills me with shameful joy..............

[John Robertson]

yes, of course, we invented that word. listen, you may be right. but it's only fair that you understand that that word is almost as overused these days as "gravitas" was a few years back.

[Helms]

FR is to the Internet what EIB is to the AM band and all radio. Since the advent of broadband, FR's influence has increased exponentially. EIB and FR harmonize.

[CounterCounterCulture]

Well, you know what the counterculture is? How they spit on traditional values and believe in misguided far-leftist ideals...

I'm the counter to the "values" of the left.

That's it in a nutshell.

[IncPen]

Rush had a FReep name and did post here himself, back in the day.

I can't remember the name he used... but it wasn't something he hid...

I do know that people close to him lurk and post here; I've exchanged posts, FReepmails and pings with them over the years...

[Grampa Dave]

I guess that makes me a card carrying CCC er with you!:)

It is very appropriate re the how the media has tried to make the left culture appear to the norm instead of the abnormal.

scha·den·freu·de (shäd“n-froi”d…) n. Pleasure derived from the misfortunes of others. [German : Schaden, damage (from Middle High German schade, from Old High German scado) + Freude, joy (from Middle High German vreude, from Old High German frewida, from fr½, happy).]

[Moosilauke]

A Google search turns up 139,000 hits on "schadenfreude", 615 hits on "schadenfreude" + "free republic". I think this falls in the category of extremely weak circumstantial evidence.
