Do we need to be cautious now that we know Rush Limpballs is a DU fan?
Edited on Thu Sep-25-03 06:48 PM by gully
I am concerned about giving 'them' artillary for the coming 'war' by bashing Bush's* potential competition in 2004?

I realize this is a place to debate as it should be, but could we be our own worst enemy?

YIKES!

5. Not at all......
I think it gives us an excellent opportunity to confront him. Although he will pick and choose, keeping that in mind, we can be effective.....

7. If, as a candidate whose every CHROMOSOME is going to be spliced
in public, Wes Clark could tell someone 'Rush Limbaugh
is full of shit', who are we to be cautious?

RV, stringer for the Rush Limpballs thread if you have
one. :)

6. He doesn’t spend too much time here
there is way too much truth in this place. But it is a VERY encouraging sign that he feels threatened enough by us to mention us on the air. There wouldn’t be much use to this place if we weren’t pissing them off.

However, it would not surprise me in the least if the source of many of the anti(pick a candidate) threads are from those who don’t want any Democrat to win (divide and conquer). Also for the next few weeks there will be many more trolls than usual.

12. How respected is Rush Limpball, really?
It's not like the general public holds his opinion in very high regard. Anyone who does is never going to be swayed to vote democrat anyway. Any quoting of DU he does will only bring publicity to the message board, which is not really a bad thing. Any news is good news continues to hold true. Just ask Al Franken.

14. Get a grip on reality.
Edited on Thu Sep-25-03 07:38 PM by AP
Do you think there's anything said here worth knowing which highly paid professionals can't figure out for themselves?

Anyway, who was under the illusion that anything said here wasn't avalbled to be read by anyone with an internet connection anywhere in the world. You're going to start censoring yourself now?

Furthermore, the thing that wories people like Rush the most is that people will hear well-argued diverse opinions. If you have something to say, say it.

44. I don't follow.
Limbaugh -- who gets his talking points from highly-educated reasonably smart graduates of some of the most prestigious law schools in America -- has followers who might learn some strategy for hurting dems which they learn at DU?

Right.

15. Has he ever needed real ammunition?
Chances are, if you're a Rush Limbaugh fan, you're gonna believe the worst about the 'other side' without the help of cranky internet opinions. If they don't have something real to smear, distort, and misrepresent the Democrats, they'll just make it up, anyway. Look what happened to Bill Clinton.

So, I say screw him, let him read, let him preach; more publicity for us.

Welcome to DU, MrsMatt! And Flush, if you're eavesdropping:
FU from DU! With a cherry on top!

You better enjoy what you have now. And make sure you doubly enjoy the air conditioning. The evil and hatred you've spewed and stirred up for the last however-many years is going to earn you a nice hot place downstairs.

on here for Rush Limbaugh to read. In fact I have a bunch of stuff about Dean from his days in Vermont that I mulled over posting - then decided not to for EXACTLY this reason. Thank God I didn't!!!!

24. Look....Skinner or Elad (I forget which one) is an expert in internet law
If Rush Limbaugh starts any harrassment of this site, I'm sure they can take care of it. And as far as Limbaugh reading actual posts....well I don't know the law at all but it seems to me like it is using someone else's material and opinion for commercial gain.

Think about it....could one of us start a website with the original posts from DU....or the posts from 9/11? I think you'd be stopped in a heartbeat. This stuff belongs to DU. Its not like an email you might send to Limbaugh....it is posts made on a website owned by people. You can't just take what you want off it and publish it for profit. (At least that's what I think. I could, of course, be wrong. I often am) :shrug:

32. No
Fair use allows anyone to pull and publish cites without penalty, within reason. We do it here. (And DU's 4 paragraph rule is to ensure we don't overreach and expose the owners of our favorite site to litigation, something those idiots at Free Republic haven't grasped)

406265, Didn't catch the whole thing
Posted by RatTerrier on Thu Sep-25-03 07:10 PM

But he read this line with glee:

"And one last thing; I got to shake his hand (again). I said to him: "You said in Knoxville that we wouldn't be afraid of guys like Limbaugh. They are coming after you." He said: "Limbaugh's full of shit." I have to agree. He said that he is not going to sink to their level. He said that he needs us to call the radio stations and do what needs to be done."

Keep in mind, he didn't say the "s" word. But he was rambling about how Clark is trying to get his folowers to call radio stations to protest right-wing radio hosts, and accused Clark of being too lazy to do it himself.

Hey, isn't that what the Freepers do already for "W"?

Hypocritical asshole! I'd vote for Clark just for that Rush Lowbrow line!
