Limbaugh: "since when did libs care about the CIA?"

[Postman]

When it comes to overthrowing people's movements in poor countries to benefit corporate interests, maybe some "libs" don't care but I'll tell you where some "libs" do care about the CIA....

When it is the job of that particular CIA officer to protect us from terrorists obtaining Weapons of Mass Destruction...and then for malicious, punitive, political reasons they are exposed along with any of their contacts and operations in the field thus putting the American people in REAL jeopardy of an attack from WMD.

The very same WMD that this administration proclaims to be fighting a War on Terror for.

The hypocrisy is stunning. The criminality is breath-taking.

The hypocrisy is stunning

The criminality is breath-taking

4. this is pathetic.... people actually swallow this man's vomit. nt

[gratuitous]

5. We care about national security and the rule of law, fatboy

Quit trying to tell me what I think, Mr. Lardbutt. You can barely articulate your own thoughts.

6. Right.It is not just that she was a CIA agent, but what she did

WMD WMD WMD WMD WMD WMD WMD WMD WMD WMD WMD WMD WMD WMD WMD WMD WMD WMD WMD WMD WMD WMD WMD WMD WMD WMD WMD WMD WMD WMD WMD WMD WMD WMD WMD WMD WMD WMD WMD WMD WMD WMD WMD WMD WMD WMD WMD WMD WMD WMD WMD WMD WMD WMD

We attack Iraq to make us safer from WMDs while outing the group responsible for monitering WMDs around the world. The hypocrisy is stunning.

7. Probably around the same time conservatives started supporting

big government and wasteful spending.

[Joe Chi Minh]

8. It's matter of an informed and discriminating conscience.

Progressives judge the actions of individuals and organisations against moral standards. It's called "having a moral compass". Something President Clinton had in many of the most important matters affecting the US and its citizens, but is glaringly absent form the present neocon regime.

My country (qua the CIA) right or wrong is for the sociopath, because for the progressive, to support the evil one's country does in the world can never be FOR its interests. It is not a matter of wishy-washy, airy-fairy pie-in-the-sky idealism, but the most profound realism.

9. Holdit-the CIA ?? that liberal operation???

Back when I listened to Rush (a few months ago) part of the cover for the lying into war was that the CIA gave them bad information. Then the CIA tried to show that it hadn't given them bad information the NeoCons just cherrypicked what they could and set up their own intelligence operation to create anything else they needed Rush actually said that the CIA is full of liberals that were set on getting back at Bush and bringing him down.

This was repeated often around RW hate radio at the time.

You can look it up.

[mike_c]

10. well, he does have a point in a limited sort of way....

I regard the CIA as only marginally less evil than the KGB, frankly, at least based on it's history of shady dealing in defense of "American interests" and a rather corrupt foreign policy. Make no mistake-- I'm not defending the CIA. The Bush administration is simply not above the law-- what I think of the CIA is not particularly relevant to that, IMO.

[GayCanuck]

14. I sort of agree

a free society should not have an organization that is founded in lies and spies.

[Beaverhausen]

11. Since when do we care what Rush says?

really...is it only me? I'm sick of people posting what Rush says.

[ronnykmarshall]

16. Amen!

He is just a worthless gas bag, as is La Coulter.

[onenote]

12. So Rush thinks liberals who criticized the CIA in the past were right?

[cynatnite]

13. It's all a matter of convenience for people like limpballs...

If I remember right, the CIA's operations were usually policy driven. Am I wrong about this?

[YOY]

15. The most liberal professor I've ever had was former CIA

Brilliant woman. I suppose much of this come with having the facts. May she be doing well no matter where she is.

[RobertSeattle]

17. Gawd I hate his BS

Rush Limbaugh 101.

1. Assert something completely bogus about Democrats/Liberals.
2. Attack Democrats/Liberals based on the assertion.
3. Declare yet another smug victory of his intellect.

I often wonder if he just laughs his ass off at how his Dittoheads just lap this koolaid up.

[yankeedem]

20. Also known as a straw man argument

24. They should rename it to the Limbaugh Argument

18. A grain of truth there

Plame was involved in tracking WMD, which just about 100% of everybody agrees is absolutely necessary for us to do. I'll have to admit though, that I'd care a lot less if she had been into "wet work," assassinating or overthrowing people like Arbenz, Mossadegh, Allende or Chavez.

[Loonman]

19. Well, Limbaugh is a lawbreaker, drug addict

Birds of a feather.

[stubtoe]

25. pssst...

(and a pompous ass)

[Gregorian]

21. Well it's obvious republicans DON'T care.

We'd have never known she was a CIA agent had it not been for republicans outting her.

edit- I apologize. It's not really a partisan thing. It is just that Blimp Gasbag phrased it that way. Shouldn't you be in jail, Rush?

[johnnie]

22. Rush is so spent he has no idea what he even is saying

Too many drugs can turn your brain into mush.

[Kurovski]

23. The hardest part of being a liberal is keeping track of

all the things I'm supposed to be concerned about. :eyes:

But then I remember that folks like Rush are deranged fuckwads, and the burden is lifted.

[Tsiyu]

26. Gee, did you just open your eyes, Pill Boy?

Y'know, if OxyRush was smart, he'd just shut the fuck up about the CIA right here and now.

But he's an overfed, overpaid, highly self-medicated idjut so he'll just keep spewing his nonsense. And the CIA will be listening....

[Fozzledick]

27. Since when did limburger care about ANYTHING but his next fix?

[Vickers]

28. Was he popping pills when he said this?
