Man in Black

[Edwina's Secretary]

Read post #3.

I was wrong. Limbaugh was called an idiot in this thread.

Thank you for correcting me Medusa.

And while we attack each other with meaningless, juvenile banter...


President Obama and his minons in the Legislature continue to practice the economics of John Maynard Keynes. The utter failure history has shown it to be...

Give the money back to the people who EARNED it. Let business keep the money they EARN.

An excerpt from Madison's Federalist Paper #63... (Can't wait to hear what the mindless cheerleaders have to say here....)

...To a people as little blinded by prejudice or corrupted by flattery as those whom I address, I shall not scruple to add, that such an institution may be sometimes necessary as a defense to the people against their own temporary errors and delusions. As the cool and deliberate sense of the community ought, in all governments, and actually will, in all free governments, ultimately prevail over the views of its rulers; so there are particular moments in public affairs when the people, stimulated by some irregular passion, or some illicit advantage, or misled by the artful misrepresentations of interested men, may call for measures which they themselves will afterwards be the most ready to lament and condemn. In these critical moments, how salutary will be the interference of some temperate and respectable body of citizens, in order to check the misguided career, and to suspend the blow meditated by the people against themselves, until reason, justice, and truth can regain their authority over the public mind? What bitter anguish would not the people of Athens have often escaped if their government had contained so provident a safeguard against the tyranny of their own passions? Popular liberty might then have escaped the indelible reproach of decreeing to the same citizens the hemlock on one day and statues on the next.

LIBERTY. Think about what it means to you. Forget what I say.

LIBERTY. What does that mean to you?

The man is morbidly obese, a racist and misogynist. He is prone to ridiculing the physical characteristics of those he dislikes on a regular basis.

Other than that - he's a real sweetie

The man is morbidly obese,

Ill give you obese, but why is that an issue here?

a racist, and misogynist. He is prone to ridiculing the physical characteristics of those he dislikes on a regular basis.

Care to back this up?

Care to back this up?

On his TV show, early in the Clinton administration, Limbaugh put up a picture of Socks, the White House cat, and asked, "Did you know there's a White House dog?" Then he put up a picture of Chelsea Clinton, who was 13 years old at the time and as far as I know had never done any harm to anyone.

When viewers objected, he claimed, in typical Limbaugh fashion, that the gag was an accident and that without his permission some technician had put up the picture of Chelsea - if you believe that let me sell you this bridge I own in Brooklyn!

Of course, he is not alone with his comments about Chelsea. In 1998, at a Republican Senate fund raiser John McCain said -

"Why is Chelsea Clinton so ugly? Because her father is Janet Reno."

Misogyny is contempt of women or girls. He has said things throughout the years that qualify for that description. Remember feminazi?

As for the morbidly obese - just the observation of a nurse.

The man is morbidly obese,

So what? It might be his glands. LOL

This should only matter once we are under governments thumb with our healthcare.

a racist and misogynist.

Misogynist, perhaps. Racist? NO. Understanding him in the context of his whole show might help. Soundbites and quotes out of context contribute this this idea.

He is prone to ridiculing the physical characteristics of those he dislikes on a regular basis.

So Micheal Moore isn't really fat? Helen Thomas is not "oh my GOD" ugly?

I reckon the style over substance effect that our President uses to get his way wins here, eh?

A spade is a spade. When did the truth become taboo to say?

I think I know... Do you?

[Grace]

Racist - think Barack the Magic Negro.

Morbidly obese - there is fat; then there is morbidly obese. Morbid means death. While Rush may wish some would die, I would prefer to see people live to a ripe old age. And, as an aside, have you ever taken care of a patient who is morbidly obese? I have and it isn't pleasant - nor was it healthy for me.

Now, it is close to midnight, and I am heading for bed. See you all in the morning . . . . . . .
