I'm issuing a $10 Million Dollar "Challenge for Charity" to Glenn Beck and/or Rush Limbaugh
I am, quite frankly, fed up with your violent rhetoric and wishing harm on Liberals. You run your mouths, yet I am betting that you don't have the intestinal fortitude to actually do anything yourselves. Would you like to prove me wrong? Here's your chance!

Are you wondering what the challenge is yet? I'm glad you asked! I challenge either of you to an MMA style cage fight for a duration of three 5 minute rounds. We can change them to 3-minute rounds if you don't think you can go the whole 5 minutes, I'm flexible like that :-) The match is won by knockout, submission or TKO, if one of us is unable to continue the match.

I can hear you asking yourself "how is this going to work?". Good question, and here is the answer:

We will raise the $10 million dollars from private, or corporate, sponsors who like this idea. We will agree on a person, or entity, to hold the money. Once the money is raised, we schedule the match. In the event of the match ending in a draw, we will split the purse equally. I personally favor splitting the purse win, lose or draw, but will negotiate with Mr Beck or Mr Limbaugh whether they want to do this or do it "winner take all". I just feel that if we split the purse, lets say 60/40, everyone wins.

How will the money benefit charities?

If Glenn Beck accepts, and wins, the money will be donated to a cause that he supports, which is the Special Operations Warrior Foundation. Of course, Mr Beck will be free to choose where he wants the money to go.

If Rush Limbaugh accepts, and wins, the money will be donated to a cause, or causes, that he supports. Mr. Limbaugh, to his credit, does support some good causes, such as the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, as seen here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rush_Limbaugh#Charitable_work Mr. Limbaugh will also be free to choose where he wants the money to go, but I figured he would be agreeable to it going to these causes.

If I win, I will form a Non-Profit Organization to help the poor and homeless. My first act will be to purchase this motel, and turn it into a shelter/transitional housing for the homeless, battered women and victims of elderly abuse. I will purchase 3 or 4 shuttle buses to help provide transportation to residents so they can look for jobs, and to get to work once they find a job. I will also provide transportation to doctors appointments, etc. I will hire some of the residents as desk clerks, groundskeepers, security guards and babysitters for the daycare that will be established at the facility. I would also like to open a thrift store and a soup kitchen, either on the property or very close by. I have many other ideas to help the people of my community if when I win.

So, how about it guys, are you up to the challenge? Here's your chance to get to try to knock a Liberal around a little bit. I'll sweeten the pot even more for you, too: I'm also a damned ol' long-haired hippie! Get your hippie-punching in! It's time to shut your alligator mouths, get off your canary asses, and put your body on the line. Do you have what it takes, or are you just loud-mouthed cowards?

3. I think that's what it will boil down to...
Neither of them will bite, not even a nibble....

2. Do you have plans to publicize this challenge, including calling Limpballs' basement?
If this event came to pass, are you sure you could handle Limpballs if he sat on you?

:scared:

4. I am making plans for a website, still just tossing the ideas around in my head for now,
but I had to get this part of it out of the way first. Could I handle limpballs?? I'm 6'3, 270 pounds and have experience as a bouncer in a biker bar or 3...

5. Just make sure you get plenty of practice in lifting 500 pounds of dead weight.
Please let us know when you get the website up! I'm loving this!

6. well, I registered a domain name..
Now I just have to figure out what to do with it... should I do a couple of simple html pages, add something like Drupal, make it a forum (I have the same software, without all the extensive modifications, as DU) or put some other blog/message board on it?

I'm open for suggestions...
