Rush Limbaugh is a lying, bottom feeding spokesman for |
|
a segment of our population that America could do without-- those who are hate-filled slugs who, for some unknown reason, believe that they are the "real Americans".
Rush Limbaugh represents the worst in America--greed, the retarded concept of "white supremacy", middle-aged women who parrot their moronic husbands' idiotic Radical Right rhetoric because they can't think for themselves. It is this LOWEST common denominator that is bringing America back into some kind of dark age.
Also, Rush Limbaugh is a drug trafficker, and allegedly was arrested for soliciting a male prostitute.

5. Just trying to keep the pot boiling. |

Actually, I'm in the middle of several LTTE's on the subject of Radical Right Hate Radio. I'm well aware of these buffoons' right to free speech, but when dissected, some of it could pass for hate crimes, etc.

My Dad listens to him. He doesn't ever say the name Rush but I know damn well who he's getting his talking points from and since I'm a DU regular and we keep close tabs on Rush........I'm can always stay a few steps ahead of my old man.
He and my Mom were over on Sunday and we watched the Eagles/Falcons game. I sat there in my McNabb jersey (I'm from Chicago, but McNabb grew up next town over from where we live and I'm a fan) and had to listen to my Dad talk about why "nobody ever criticizes him, you know, that McNabb. I wonder why?"......And I knew exactly what he was inferring and where he had gotten that bit of misinformation.
He even went to far as to make a bet against the Eagles, even though he has no idea who plays for the Falcons.
I never stir things up but I did get one good one in on him. He got up and left the room for a minute and when he came back I said, "You missed it!"
My Dad says, "What? Did the Falcons score?"
"No. But Collinsworth just said McNabb threw a bad pass."

totally buys the RW line that those of us that oppose Condescenda for SofS do so because she's a black woman. The mind boggles...

8. Actually, my Dad is not a big fan of the Neocons..... |
|
But he'll tow the party line.
I suspect that he actually doesn't like Rice because she's a woman, black and educated.
He's actually pro-environment and anti-deficit but on the other hand...he's a closet racist and sexist. He's even more confused than most.

9. You should have told him that the other team's QB was black too. |
|
An interesting reaction, that would be.

It was. I mean, at some point, the facts and influences of the modern world just seem like they completely blow his mind.
He used to be a lot more opinionated, until it occured to him that he was wrong about 80% of the time. Now he just keeps the parameters of his discussions with me to include only small talk, and that's about it.
