“Rush Limbaugh’s ignorance and willingness to divide Americans knows no bounds. His latest statement about Israel is beyond offensive to all of us who have fought to protect Israel in the face of enemies committed to its destruction.

[meyer]

Sayeth Kerry:

"It was a Democratic president who first recognized the State of Israel. It was a Democratic President who first sold Israel defensive weapons. And it was a Democratic President who first sold Israel offensive weapons."

If all that's true (and I'm not sure that it is), then why is it Democrats that tend to side with Hezbollah & the rest of the fanatics in the middle east?

He flip flops worse than John Cut 'N Run Kerry, doesn't he. It's sad because I think he's pretty smart, but he really is unstable.

It's gotten so bad over there that Skinner wants to move the debate off the general discussion forum and bury it on another thread.

If we could only go back to 1998 when BJ Clinton had everything under control.

from F'n Kerry's statement: The people of Israel and the Jewish community don’t need Rush Limbaugh to tell them who stands with them, and no one has time for right wing trying to score cheap political points while Israel fights to defend its very existence.”

"no one has time for right wing"...No one has time for syntax lessons, either, apparently.

"Rush Limbaugh needs to pick up a history book instead of a donut"
Tho questions:
1) What was Ketchupboy's grade in college history?
2) How does the callipygian Elizabeth Edwards feel about that remark?;)

Rush Limbaugh’s ignorance and willingness to divide Americans knows no bounds.

This from the one who made the following hugely divisive claim during the Vietnam War (which he would later retract when he ran for President)...

"There are all kinds of atrocities and I would have to say that, yes, yes, I committed the same kind of atrocities as thousands of other soldiers have committed in that I took part in shootings in free-fire zones. I conducted harassment and interdiction fire. I used 50-caliber machine guns which we were granted and ordered to use, which were our only weapon against people. I took part in search-and-destroy missions, in the burning of villages. All of this is contrary to the laws of warfare.

Ah, yes, he's the supposed unifier, not divider. [rolls eyes]

Amazing--- this from the guy who lambastes President Bush and Don Rumsfeld for not laying waste to Iraq.

You know, if Barry Sanders could have just learned to changed direction on a dime as quick as Savage, he might have have been an ok running back.

Well, I just heard Howieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaa Dean ranting about "if Democrats were in charge, we would not be where we are now because we would have worked day after day after day after day to bring the parites together for peace......we had moral authority when we were in the White House"

Gag alarm went off.

That Time cover is very funny. Thanks.

By the way, let us all keep in mind one salient point: John Kerry served in Vietnam. /sarc off

He does keep telling us that.... but whose side did he fight for?  

[marty60]

What did Rush say. Israel has a right to exist. No wonder the Dums are up in arms. I heard some one say we were in the Chamberlain period. Boy is that true.

Hey! A little respect for the junior Senator, please. His average in college was in the high D range.

Not many of today's Democrats would vote for Truman.

Zell Miller is the modern Democrat most like Truman. And look at how the Dems treated him in 2004.

Er, that's Hezabaloo to you :)

[This is the Iranians' way of changing the subject out in the "Arab street". They pulled this with Hamas and the "second intifada" when Oslo was happening, too.]



Correct, but it's backfired on them. Iran was counting on the "world community" to keep pressure on Israel to practice restraint and draw this whole thing out diplomatically until the next meaningless cease fire, but they didn't count on the fact that Bush and Blair have (as is now obvious) agreed to let Israel of their leash long enough to kick the crap out of Hezbolla. When this is over, Israel will be much stronger and more secure and will have quite a few of its neighbors a lot more concerned about which of them might be next.

[eureka!]

Re#124 LOL, again. Look at the debate over where to have the debate. So bureaucratic. So silly. So typical. Gotta run, have a good weekend....
