Limbaugh '12 - That sounds GREAT!!!!!! All mighty wise one he is

You've GOT to be kidding... Fat head Limbo running for President?

Why not?

For one thing, he's not a socialist Democrat!!!!

AH yes, the Golden Boy....I keep forgetting...

McCain/ Palin rhetoric aside, the admitted drug use by our current president can be found in his book "Dreams from my Father". Self- admitted.

"I had learned not to care. I blew a few smoke rings, remembering those years. Pot had helped, and booze; maybe a little blow when you could afford it. Not smack, though—Mickey, my potentional intiator had been just a little too eager for me to go through with that".

If you choose not to listen to any of them, that's certainly your perogative (you are exercising your freedom of choice); However, your beliefs are still influenced by someone else in the media regardless. Rush may have a "loud mouth" in your opinion but that still doesn't make him wrong about every single one of his views/beliefs either (those shared by his listeners). To say there are people that believe EVERYTHING that comes out of Rush's mouth can be equated to those zealous Obama supporters as well, yes? It appears in these threads about Rush appear to be more personal (irrational name calling) than ideological or philosophical differences. How he says something and disregarding the message. I find it extremely difficult to believe a person would/could disagree with every single view he presents. I would even suggest that those most critical of him aren't even daily/frequent listeners and are the truly narrow-minded.

When it comes to the comparison between Rush's and Obama's drug usage, you're absolutely correct that I am no better than those critical of Rush. The difference lies in professional duties and responsibilites (side note- Obama deserves and is entitled to the same rhetoric Bush received as per drug and alcohol indulgences). Rush is not an elected official. Nothing he says can affect my personal life (unless I make the cognitive choice to allow it to). One junkie I don't have to listen to at all (with no consequences). The other junkie has the power and authority to deprive me of life, liberty, and the persuit of happiness with one stroke of a pen. Quantum difference.

Because our Messiah says that we should all become socialist Democrats!

"Steele to Rush: I'm sorry"

"Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele says he has reached out to Rush Limbaugh to tell him he meant no offense when he referred to the popular conservative radio host as an “entertainer” whose show can be “incendiary.”

“My intent was not to go after Rush – I have enormous respect for Rush Limbaugh,” Steele said in a telephone interview. “I was maybe a little bit inarticulate. … There was no attempt on my part to diminish his voice or his leadership.”

“I went back at that tape and I realized words that I said weren’t what I was thinking,” Steele said. "It was one of those things where I thinking I was saying one thing, and it came out differently. What I was trying to say was a lot of people … want to make Rush the scapegoat, the bogeyman, and he’s not."

“I’m not going to engage these guys and sit back and provide them the popcorn for a fight between me and Rush Limbaugh,” Steele added. “No such thing is going to happen. … I wasn’t trying to slam him or anything.”
