3. There A Ton Of Old Rush Bits That Need To Be Found |
|
Kudos to Howard and Robyn for finding this goody. Anyone remember that lame TV show Rushbo had? It'd be fun to find some of those old shows and see how Mr. Oxyhead squares with what he says or does now.
For example, a long time ago, a radio host asked Mr. Limbaugh if he thought a radio show should be used to promote a political party or agenda. Mr. Limbaugh said not only that radio shouldn't be that way...it should always have a variety of opinions. I recently found that tape...recoreded in 1988...with tons of Rush contradictions...but then he wasn't as famous as he was today.

5. Long Before...That Was '92 |

This was recorded right after Rush's "EIB" whorefest began in August, 1988.

he is a hack, there are plenty of his quotes about the Iraq war, that HE SUPPORTED..
I remember him fear mongering about "saddam as anthrax' and the sort. ..and Robin was debating..Wesley Snipes I think, and he was against the Iraq war, and she barked at him the words .."Well then why don't you just pick which two towers you want to come down next, if you don't want to invade Iraq"
Sure it's funny to rip druggie Rush, but after all, Rush took some drugs, he broke a minor law. Howard supported a war based on lies, and now has flip floped and is pretending it was never that way.
Perhaps Rush would like to pull those Howard Quotes.

7. Yeah, he used to pimp for the war. But at least he admits it was dumb. |
|
I think that's Howard's appeal and influence. He genuinely is someone who was swayed by the jingoistic rhetoric, but game to see that it was bullshit as time passed. I'm not a big Howard Stern fan myself (kind of a "listen if it's already on" relationship), but I think that taking that road has actually made him more effective now. It's just a shame it took him so long to get there.

there was a mountain of lies already exposed before the war started, nobody was fooled into war, it was exposed for what it was before it started. 1. http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&q=iaea+iraq+six+months+bomb+bush+cited2. http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&q=forged+document+un+iraq3. http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&q=un+inspectors+iraq4. ect... they made a choice to support a war based on lies...before it even started.

8. Rush's "minor law" break would put ANYONE ELSE in jail immediately. |
|
Do you have any real grasp of what laws Limbaugh broke? It's not a minor offense. Why are you apolgizing for a lawbreaking hate monger?

11. Howard, like many NYers, got terrorized on 9-11. He knee-jerk |
|
supported the war because of that irrational fear. He's wised up now.

14. Howard was on the air when the planes hit... |
|
I got a tape of it, he was talking about Pam Anderson and then all hell broke loose; everyone in the studio was freaking out. He actually stayed on until about noon talking about it all with Robin.
