Title: Rush does it again

Just when I thought I could not lose anymore respect for this pot-belly asshole, he opens his fat, scat-munching mouth again.  This is about as low as it goes, IMO.  I have no hope for November.  The fact that this fat fuck has 10 million listeners says something about the collective intelligence of America.  Sorry for my language.

Will you bring body wash though?  I find it less bitter plus it doesn't get stuck in your teeth.

I never mustered up enough respect to disrespect this man...he's always been an entertainer of the negative kind, appealing to those who want to bitch and moan about others in order to make themselves feel good.  When he grows some and admits to his own problems, then I'll possibly consider him human.  Until then, he's the hate machine so many Corporate Evangelists look to to find their "faith". :rolleyes:

I'm not saying who is right and who it wrong here, Rush can defend himself...but, Micheal J. Fox has admitted to purposely not take his medications before interviews and hearings in front of congress, to display his disease....Rush's point was, he is trying to play on the hearts of others, with inaccurate accounts of a cure for the disease...at the mercy of a democrat from Missouri...

So he's suggesting MJF didn't take his meds cause he has a political agenda?  Maybe, but I wonder if Rush would have pointed this out if MJF had been doing anti-stem cell research commercials.  Doesn't Rush have bigger fish to fry than some 1980's teen actor?  I guess there is some moron out there that will change his/her mind over stem cell research because of MJF.

The very thought of Rush saying anything about anyone taking or not taking medicine is just hilarious to me.

What in the hell are you talking about?  What difference does it make?  In demonstrating what will occur to him in the furture when the meds don't work is deceptive in what way?

I'm just explaining Rush's reasoning....I understand his reasoning, I may not agree with it.....you should quit jumping to conclusions so quickly.

This IS a political commercial....and it IS doing it's best to sell an idea...period, does that mean, people like Rush cannot object to it?  He only gave his opinion of it...should he be banned from the radio because of that?  What happend to free speech?.....Ten million people listen to him with free will and he gets paid because people like to listen to him.

No, you were defending his stand which was a misleading lie and meant to get people angry at Fox for having passion about a possible cure for his disease and getting off medications which al lhave side-effects and wear off.

Free speech is one thing, Henry.....propaganda is a lie and make to incite against others...it's like screaming "Fire" in a theatre...if you're lying to incite hatred, as Rush does, then you have accountability for the lies you spread and the repercussions for that....

You pass on the lies and hatred, expect to be challenged and called on the carpet for the propaganda it is.

How about the propaganda by Claire McCaskill, who paid for this ad, to gain political favor, by exploiting someone like Michael J. Fox for something that the scientists say is not going to do anything...why should this woman not be called out on the carpet for her ploy...that is what Rush did.....He apologized to MJF, if he offended him, but, his real point was towards Mccaskill......for the record, I like Fox, and truely wish him well, but, most scientist have declared that embroyonic stem cell is not an effective method of a cure.....

What?  I think Michael J Fox is of sound mind enough to know what he's doing..after all, he spoke to Congress about the importance of stem cell research and did it also without his medication and gave quite a compelling testimony.  I think you're trying to build a case where none exists here..

It wasn't that he objected to it, Henry, it was the way he objected. He flailed around, mocking Fox like some fifth-grader on the playground making fun of the crippled kid.

It is disgusting.

Had he done that to someone in person, he would be lying on his back, nursing the broken nose and empty places where his teeth used to be.

But he is such a coward, he wouldn't do that.

Anyone who continues to worship this A$$ is as bad as he is.

Hey, I don't worship him, I rarely listen to him....but, he has apologized publicly and directly to him.....Rush does push the envelope on many occassions, but, like him or not, he is probably one of the most listened to commentators in the business, and he makes mistakes,....I think he is no different than Micheal Moore, except Rush has a bigger audiance and is probably a stronger voice....

Secondly, I'm not siding with Rush on this, I think he spoke too quickly, and though I may not be 100 percent in favor of the embroyinic stem cell research, I really do have a great deal of admiration for MJF, and his passion for a cure...

Check Rush out. (If this link works.)


Glad you didn't side with him (didn't say you did, by the way), but I believe he said exactly what he wanted to say, and no amount of apology will unring the bell at this point.

He knows that.

He did it deliberately with malice aforethought. No doubt.

What's so sad is the  number of followers he has who, with total lack of apparent compassion, followed Rush's comments with hate and malice of their own..

I don't believe that Cookie, Most people who listen to Rush DO THINK for themselves, I DO, though you would not accept that, If you happened to listen to Rush right after that, many callers disagreed with him, and that is why Rush admitted to his analogy being wrong and apologized.....

I truely think you are so, so very wrong about the "hate and malice" of anybody that is not a democrat, I see as much or more hate from them as I do anybody else....
Hate the president, Hate the Evangelists, Hate those uncompassionate people haters... you guys need to take a good look in the mirror...look at the log in your own eyes, before you remove the splinter in others....

See, here's the thing about Rush Limbaugh apologizing publicly.  HE DOESN'T MEAN IT!  That ass just keeps having diarrhea of the mouth then when he's called to task for what he's said, he issues a public apology that he doesn't really mean.  How many times can he keep apologizing before people will figure out that he's just a freaking, moronic lunatic??? :rolleyes:

Who has 20 million listeners...Is the number 1 talk show host in the world...the BIG difference here is, RUSH is not a politician, he is an entertainor and the people are STILL listening to him... if he was a freaking, moronic lunatic, he probably NOT have 20 million listeners..

Now Kerry, IS a politician, and was wanting to be one of the World Leaders, and he STILL did not apologize for his idiocy, he apologized that people took it the wrong way....he is so pompous that he cannot admit, that what he said was wrong....it is everybody else's fault that we did not get his attempt at humor....that is what I call a freaking, moronic lunatic ;)

Just for your information, Stren does not have nearly as many listeners as Rush does, that is why his show was dropped in most cities around the country, because his ratings sucked....and the people that listen their is a difference in respecting a political opinion and who jacks off in hollywood...so Stern IS NOT in the same class....

How Many Listeners Does Howard Stern Have?
A recent article in AdAge highlights the fact that Howard Stern's ad rates have dropped to $5,000 - $6,000 per spot - with live reads maxing out at $10,000. That's about 1/2 of what Sirius was originally asking, and back in his terrestrial days Stern was commanding a live-read upwards of around $30,000.

But that's not really the interesting part of the article, because well it's not really much of a surprise. The interesting part is the listener number data coming from Sirius.


While XM does offer some audience data from a custom Arbitron report, Scott Greenstein, president-entertainment and sports at Sirius, said Sirius has hired a third-party research company to get audience data on "certain things our advertisers would need." The third-party data, culled from the unnamed research company, shows that 58% of subscribers listen to Howard Stern during the week.

That means there's about 5 million Stern listeners according to this data. Take 4.7 million Sirius subscribers multiplied by an estimated 2 listeners per subscription, equals 9.4 million total Sirius listeners. Multiplied by 58% and you've got Stern's audience of about 5 million people.

http://www.orbitcast.com/archives/how-many-listeners-does-howard-stern-have.html

five million.  twenty million.  and stern isn't "in his prime" anymore.

so what's the difference, poopiehead?  you respect rush cuz you wanna.  cuz yer a poopiehead.  it's got nothing to do with anything quantifiable.

My husband now has both Sirius and XM (that one came with his truck). When I asked if I could have my Sirius back, he replied, "No, I can only hear Stern on there!!"

I don't know where you are going with this, your the one who brough stren in the loop....I think strern sucks, he is not funny and not informative....Rush to me is funny as hell, and very infromative.....and 19,999,999 people agree with me....and your a much bigger poopie head than I ever thought about being....nanny nanny boo boo!!
