Just wait till Bush gets sick.

Bush was little more than an ignorant puppet; I can't really hate someone for being stupid and easily led by the nose, but I do hate a great deal of what he did (or didn't do) during his administration. I don't wish bad things on him, but I'm entirely thankful that his administration is over and done with.

Rush, on the other hand, is not a moron, nor a puppet. He is a conscientious hatemonger, a flaming hypocrite, and a joyous sower of discontent. THAT kind of person, I can wish bad things upon without the slightest hesitation or guilt.

Hey now, I was applauding Elspode's eloquent composition. I wouldn't even give Limbaugh the clap. :headshake

It was a nice piece of prose. *shrug*

I did not and would not applaud the death of a human being (okay, all bets are off on Bin Laden, because he's flat out asked for it). My post was simply intended to demonstrate how incredibly polarized our political process and our population has become, and how incredibly jaded the "leaders" of the process have become. No longer do we debate and reach consensus. We simply attack, accuse, undermine and sling mud, with the goal of winning our way at any price.

Limbaugh is the self proclaimed leader of his side of this mindless, greedy rabble. When Pelosi drops to her knees clutching her chest in her knit group or whatever, I'll probably have something equally caustic and offensive to post about her.

I think they made a decision early on that Cheney would be the bad guy and Bush would be the warm father figure. Sort of a master-Sargent vs Captain game so we would take our medicine from Cheney and still love W. Cheney played his hand too strong and W lacked the charisma so it fell flat. It didn't help that their foreign policy was completely wrong for a time when communication between modern and pre-modern civilizations was critical.

Why do so many listen to Limbaugh and Fox News? One, neither provide facts which is what an overwhelming number of less educated people want. An overwhelming majority let their eyes glaze over when numbers appear. Two, proof is found in personal attacks.

How do informed people immediately see the most evil? They ask a simple question. Did he post facts and numbers? Or did he just attack another? Latter is exactly how Hitler became so popular and took power. You would think, by now, we have learned?

God save us if we encounter aliens in the next 100 years. So many have so little ability to see reality. Maybe in 100 years, the tricks used by political extremists will be obvious by as much as 50% of us. Unfortunately, so many still give credibility to personal attacks. Amazing how Fox News can use the same tricks I would hear from Radio Moscow in 1960 – and not see it as propaganda.

A first indication that someone is lying - he does not post facts and numbers. Instead, he entertains and encourages emotions. And mocks others with personal disparagement. The majority will give credibility to disparagement and will be angry when challenged to provide numbers. Until we fix that problem, hopefully, we will not permanently contaminate relationships with alien species.

What about the one looking for facts and asking questions who gets attacked?

Yep. I notice you are not doing cheap attacks on Obama and other lately. The Cellar has been a more pleasant place.

I didn't respond, you mean? not worth it - got to many real things to worry about.

I don't listen to Limbaugh for facts. I listen to hear his opinion and to be entertained.

Apparently Limbaugh showed no sign of heart failure or other diseases. So we can all expect him back ranting soon. He also said he had the best care the country can offer, and stated that all other Americans recieve the same treatment.

Pffft! I bet a skid road drunk wouldn't. I bet even a non-entity named SamIam wouldn't. Anyhow, lets hear it for Russ and the status quo. *blows raspberry*

A few month ago, while waiting for commands from earth, Spirit (the Martian Rover) accidentally tuned into Limbaugh. So Martians quickly buried Spirit in sand. Spirit has been unable to move anyone since.

"Mission Accomplished".

bout time we put that money-pit to rest.

KIDDING!
