Unlike Rush Limbaugh, Lord's Diner doesn't judge

I didn't hear the Limbaugh show this article is refering to - so I wonder if any of these charges are taken out of context.

[Buckeye Battle Cry]

Why is it whenever liberals attempt to write on the subject of religion their lame attempt at being pious just comes across as a pissy little rant?

[Faith]

Or maybe it was just the OxyContin talking. That last comment might seem like a cheap shot.

Yep. I'd say it was a cheap shot.

[BigSkyFreeper]

Probably. My guess is Glick didn't even listen to the show in question, as is typical of any Liberal.

[wagglebee]

This is a bunch of crap!

[anniegetyourgun]

The ultimate cheap shot, tucked away in an article about "compassion."

[EggsAckley]

I listen to Limbaugh every day and don't recall any of this. Sounds trumped up to me. It'll be interesting to see if he mentions it tomorrow.

The economy is bad? That's news to me.

The DJIA could be at 20,000 and the liberals would still be whining that the economy was sour.

[BigSkyFreeper]

The left espousing on religion is supposed to be taken as pious (so they say), while those of us on the right are just idiot zealots outside the mainstream, who voted for Bush. (so they say)

"Or maybe it was just the OxyContin talking."

A liberal condemning someone for being "judgemental" by being judgemental.

Yea Mr MCcormick, I'm sure you can identify with people who live on the margins of society. Where do you live? Where do your kids go to school? Where do you eat?

These "I feel your pain" pompous journalists have really been pissing me off of late. Or maybe I'm wrong MCcormick. Lets here about your poor white trash upbringing, your struggle to survive, wondering where your next meals coming from. NOT!

I bet this doofus wouldn't understand that he's a hypocrite anyway.

[ozzymandus]

Exactly. Free food will always draw a crowd, but the libs are so smug and self-centered they don't know they're being used.

[Steel Wolf]

In my experience, liberals favor three weapons

Cheap shots
Lying
Stereotyping

Stereotyping lets you dismiss whole swaths of people because of the label you assign them. Lying, well, that has obvious advantages. These two are the heavier weapons, rhetorically speaking.

The cheap shots are nice zingers because they're short, sharp, and true. They problem is that they're skirmish weapons. They round out the arsenel, but they're best used sparingly. It's easy to come across as catty and mean. (Like mentioning Mary Cheney, for instance)

If the labels are wearing off, and the lies are being exposed, expect more cheap shots from our friends on the left.

yeah i think you're right. I listen to him a lot, but i think the "soup lines" he talks about are the ones that the libs institute from within the government, not ones that religious charities organize. Even if there are soup lines, its not the governments job to take care of them, that would be the job of charities (not just solely religious charities).

Please don't confuse financial bubbles with economic well being.

[Don Corleone]

Sounds like more Barbra Streisand to me.

[chitownfreeper]

Hey, if Rush wants to rail against sensible drug policies, he should be able to take the heat.

Cheap shot or no.

Rush was making a point about being good stewards of the Lord’s Dinner budget. The Eagle does not understand this point because they are smart enough to think at Rush's level. This is why the readership of the Wichita Eagle is so small.

When you give something away for free people will take even though they do not need it. Wasting other people’s money is something both the government and the Wichita Eagle do not mind as long as it makes them feel good, never mind about the results.
