Limbaugh The Bully humiliated by students' challenge |
|
Edited on Fri May-13-05 09:10 AM by Rose Siding
Teens seek debate vs. LimbaughRush Limbaugh said on his nationally syndicated radio show that Evanston Township High School students "don't know anything about World War II" and "they've probably never heard the name Adolf Hitler" because they're so focused on a multicultural curriculum. Some Evanston kids want to show Limbaugh what they know. They want to debate him on American history. "I think would be great because then we'd prove him wrong and open up his opinion a little bit," Sarah Loeb, an ETHS sophomore, said Thursday. ... Limbaugh's producer did not return a call on whether Limbaugh would agree to a debate.

Limbaugh is nothing but a lot of hot air for the dittoheads.

4. I'm betting that he won't debate them. |

Limbaugh is just not an educated guy.
He is good at parroting Republican talking points, and getting people worked up about them (yelling).
But he works within a rather narrow range of "knowledge."
That kind of knowledge of history takes years to develop; I doubt he's been studying, especially several points of view.
They'd wipe up the floor with him, I say.

"Maybe he might be a little intimidated because I don't know his basis for saying we don't know anything," Sarah said. "But I think he might be interested if he wants to live up to his reputation and back up his ideas so he doesn't look stupid."

Multicultural curriculii were developed in order to prevent another Adolf Hitler from coming to power, so yeah, they probably know who he is.

9. I would pay to see that. Limpballs taken down by a couple of H.S. kids. |
|
These kids are on to something. The best way to beat a bully is to call his bluff. I can just hear Limpballs huffing and puffing about this already.

11. The kids would whup his ass... |
|
if he let them. But he won't dare let them come close.
Pigboy was on a few panel shows and "debates" in the past, but always got his ass kicked. He just doesn't do them any more because he discovered that he really, really, sucks when confronted by anyone with a reasonable comprehension of the facts and who he can't shut the phone off on.
He's a gasbag, and works best as Bloviator-in-Chief.

13. Hell, Rush won't even debate his own listeners! |
|
Listen to his show (if you can stomach it). Note the number of calls he takes. About 3 an hour.
He's both afraid to engage anyone (even his mindless, heavily screened supporters) in conversation, and in love with his own rants.

14. And THOSE 3 calls are from DITTO-MONKEYS! |
|
I think I've heard him take on an opposing POV maybe 5 times over the years (I used to listen to him daily) and hey, when you have the hang-up button under your finger...
"(click!) ..well, Friends, ANOTHER Li-Bu-Ral Skull full of Mush, defeated by *ME*, the TRUTH DETECTOR!"
I'd hate to be Bo Snerdley. Can you imagine how many calls that guy has to go through just to find a softball that his boss can knock out of the park?

16. These kids are on to a new "reality show" format! |
|
I'd like to see all the hate talk radio and TV hosts go before groups of high school debate teams.
The high school kids are losing their futures due to these brownshirts of the airwaves who bang the drums to send them to war, destroy their economic futures by pushing the corporate agenda- young people are more aware than most of their parents as far as what is going on in this country and how it will effect them for the next three generations.
I think putting the whore media talking heads in a room to face the people whose lives are being decided by their LIES is a great reality show waiting to happen.

If he doesn't debate, the kids should contact AAR. Franken will call him out.
I would like to see him loose to kids.

18. Limbaugh unable to debate school children |
|
Would be great headlines. Story could go on and say school children wish to debate world history with rush Limbaugh but Limbaugh not knowledgeable enough so declines, says his time is occupied with his legal battles of felony counts of drug distribution and usage. A drug addled Limbaugh breys his defiance but still refuses to back up his woirds.

22. Rush lives in his little protected world... |
|
safely behind his microphone where he knows his screeners will throughly vet out the few callers he takes. He rarely interviews anyone, but when he does you can be sure it will be someone who won't even remotely question his position.
And he never, ever debates anyone since any grade school level debate student, much less a experienced politico, could easily expose him for the charlatan that he is.
Rush is a coward.

23. He'll dig up the records on his cyst and claim that he can't |
|
make it because it's been acting up.
Even if he does, he'd probably claim to need a "hearing aid" (watch for a bulge on his back) . . .
