Folks... Don't listen to Rush. Ever.

[benburch]

You know in advance he will be hate-filled and on the wrong side on any issue, and it messes up your mood to hear stuff like that.

There is really no more reason to listen to him than to listen to pigs slopping at the trough. In fact, the pigs might be more melodious.

[Norquist Nemesis]

1. I can't get to the button fast enough

when I hear the blowhard bellowing over the airwaves. Same thing with Hannity.

[Deep13]

2. umm, okay

'Nuff said, I guess.
B-)

[SteppingRazor]

3. Sometimes, you just gotta.

Must know one's enemy. It's the quickest place to get GOP talking points, since the rest of the talk shows just repeat what he says.

[wryter2000]

13. Media Matters and Franken

You can find out what the idiots are up to by following Media Matters and Franken.

[SteppingRazor]

19. No, you can find out what Franken and Media Matters...

SAY the idiots are up to by reading MM and listening to Franken. Better to get it straight from the horse's mouth, particularly if you intend to write anything about it and what to use direct quotes.

[ironman202]

24. you're at the wrong end of the horse

[SteppingRazor]

27. Touche!

:)

[Just Me]

4. I care enough about my health to avoid those kinds of diseases.

I avoid most all the freeper-infected garbage posted here, as well.

[TwilightZone]

5. Agreed.

I've never understood why people even bother. As I said in another thread, there's knowing your enemy, and then there's raising your blood pressure for no reason.

Listening to Rush is the latter.

There are bigger fish to fry, and if people are dumb enough to believe his crap, it's a waste of time to try to change their minds.

[Karenina]

16. My brother listens

the "wanna see what he's saying" deal. Then he parrots some snippets of what he's heard WITH COWBELL. IT IS BIZARRE!!! :hide:

[ailsagirl]

39. A thousand times worse than fingernails on a chalkboard.

It's crazy making. I avoid it like the plague.

:argh: :mad: :crazy: :grr: :spank: :banghead: :puke:

[SammyWinstonJack]

6. I never do!

EVER!

[shaniqua6392]

7. Only one problem with that....

then he brags about how many listeners he has compared to liberal talk radio. We may be assisting in pumping up his numbers if we listen to him. I try to avoid it at all costs, but I know what you mean by listening to what the enemy is saying. It is a double-edged sword.

[wryter2000]

8. Plus...

Unless you do some research, you might believe that some of his lies are true.

[n2doc]

18. nope no chance

The fatboy is the living definition of propaganda. 30 seconds is all I can stand of him, at most. O'liely, Insannity, and the rest of them are just as bad. Last time I happened to turn on a station with fatboy all he was doing was playing the Dean 'scream' over and over...

[bbgrunt]

40. it is like "subliminable" indoctrination......

you CAN'T listen without starting to think some of the stuff sounds reasonable and then your mind starts getting framed in the arguments he frames.....and pretty soon you find yourself needing to listen even more.........

It's a real trap and mind innvasion.

[Webster Green]

9. I've never listened to him....

...other than excerpts played by Air America hosts to ridicule the drug-addled blowhard.

[movonne]

10. And don't read Drudge ever !!!!

[benburch]

12. Drudge gets paid for every time you load his page.

When you read Drudge you are SUPPORTING him.

[KyndCulture]

35. That's exactly right. NEVER click on anything that goes to Drudge

you are paying him. Thanks for reminding folks of this Ben. I've been harping on that for a year.

[bunkerbuster1]

28. Seconded, I don't get why ANYONE from our side reads Drudge.

That should be a no-brainer. It's not like the guy's occasional "scoop" isn't all over the Internets anyway.

[Just Me]

31. I went there one time,...never, ever will I go back,...ever.

He is scum.

[troubleinwinter]

11. Don't listen, and if you do...

kindly do NOT track that dog shit in here!!!

[Swamp Rat]

14. I agree, but I just thought of an exception.

I have, on occasion, been stuck in an doctor's office or a business where FOX NEWS or Rash Limpballs is piped in. To preserve my sanity, I mock everything they say. If it pisses off someone next to me, I do not give a flying fuck. :)

[DancingBear]

30. I hope you let the doctor/business know you won't be coming back

And I hope you tell them why.

[proud patriot]

15. I physically can't listen to him

:puke:

[ronnykmarshall]

17. I turn down AAR when they play his clips.

The sound of that fuck head's voice makes me wanna :puke:

[bryant69]

20. I listen all the time

Mainly to get shtick for my website - but also because he's a good barometer; if you are looking for what the mainstream whacko is thinking, he's one obvious source.

21. WRONG: you can't fight what you don't know. that said...

I read the summary of his monologues posted on his website every once in a while because I can do that in a minute or two instead of enduring an hour of his pontification and selling rubes Goldbaum's medicated powder.

Mediamatters.org does a good job finding the worst turds in the piles of shit to save you some time too.

[TwilightZone]

37. That's very different.

Reading a two-minute summary is infinitely better than wasting an hour or two listening to his idiocy.

[yurbud]

41. we agree--it's exactly same content too.

[swimmernsecretsea]

22. Reminds me of when he appeared on Letterman

And spent the whole time making cheap insulting remarks about Hillary Clinton's looks and insinuating that she is a Lesbian, until David Letterman had had enough and cut him off saying "well, you're not such a fine example of beauty, yourself" To which Rush registered the sort of poleaxed shock one would expect from someone who'd surrounded himself with yes-people.

He has the manners and tact of a schoolyard bully.

[ironman202]

29. and the posture and body language of a petty criminal

[mac56]

55. Letterman's actual response to Rushbo's bleat:

"And you can say that, of course, because you're such a fine looking specimen yourself."

OH SNAP!

[LibDemAlways]

23. I worked part-time in a small office

for a few months where two freeper idiot morons had the jerk on every morning -- and Hannity in the afternoon. I bought a walkman to drown out the din and about went out of my mind the couple of times when my batteries went out and I was stuck without replacements.

I got the hell out of there as soon as I could. No wonder these people are so brainwashed. They listen to the crap for hours on end.

[Montauk6]

25. Yeah, I've never been a Geddy Lee fan myself...

though I liked that thing he did with the McKenzie Brothers.

[TwilightZone]

43. Take off, eh!

You hoser.

[Montauk6]

52. Beauty, eh?

Kooo LOO koo koo koo KOO koo kooooo...

[TwilightZone]

56. Hehe.

:)

[Maestro]

26. That guy has repulsed me from the beginning.

I've never given him or any other hate monger the time of day. He is a fool.

[whatever4]

32. Not a problem, he lost entertainment value with this admin

All he is now is a bought-and-paid for traitor. He used to be amusing, before these monsters managed to take over. He's a traitor of the worst sort. In his evil little heart of hearts, he knows better. He isn't dumb enough to believe everything he says, truly. But still he betrays us, still lies to our collective faces. As if we don't know. As if we never will. As if he isn't already a fat target for hatred, a fine example of what these monsters represent.

Keep on talking Rush. We'll be watching who listens to you.

You know, it's funny, when I think about it, because the likes of him are mostly spiteful. Aren't they? That's how they seem to me, because truly, they haven't the depths of personality and don't have enough soul in their hearts to REALLY feel hate. Or rage. Horrible, indignant, been-lied-to rage. They don't understand it, they don't "get" it. What it feels like. What WE feel like. I think they aren't capable.

It seems like a lot of these neocons will be like deer caught in headlights. Or, just confused with the severe anger and rage that SO many are going to direct at them.

As soon as they get the chance. As soon as the mob mentality takes over, and it becomes "safe" to attack these people...they will surely be attacked. Those afraid to speak out now will gladly participate in the carnage when they realize they aren't alone anymore. The followers will...follow...as they always do, and we have a nation full of them. Attacked en-mass by a populace enraged to a level they cannot possibly understand. Bye bye Republicans. Bye bye all that supported them.

We'll never be disarmed enough, us little people. They will never be safe, and I think it's amusing they don't realize it. Not safe in their home country. Not in any other country. TOO many of us are TOO smart and resourceful to let them go...unscathed. And they won't.

Won't it be a surprise? Wish I could see it, on every face. Childish bewilderment. That's what it will be. These people don't hate us. They don't even know us. Just like Iraq.

[Libby2]

33. I never have

and I never will.
I don't listen to any of those lunatics.

[Career Prole]

34. The only time I've heard Pigboy's voice

was when ESPN covered his firing and they played a tape of his McNabb remark(I boycotted ESPN while they had him doing NFL Countdown).

And it's going to stay that way. :)

[catmandu57]

36. I can't do it, listen to that slug that is

why people do it is beyond me, I just can't fathom people here warching faux news or going to the unnamed site, why do they do it?
Do they have some twisted desire to be punished?

Fuck them, During the civil war all of Grant's people screamed about bobby lee, and what he was doing or would do. Grant didn't give a fat rat's ass about what lee did, he knew what he wanted to do and did it.
That's what we should do, know just what we want to do and by god do it.

[ailsagirl]

38. Pigs are a lot smarter, too

[lonestarnot]

42. A pig fart is more melodious!

[benburch]

44. I'm told FR already started a thread on this thread.

Folks, they are AFRAID of us!

[Iris]

45. Friends don't let friends listen to Rush!

(cause it only makes 'em angry and bitter!)

[Balbus]

46. Rush rules!!!!

:headbang:

[Just Me]

48. "rules"?????

:rofl:

[Balbus]

50. Well, maybe not "rules"...

But I do enjoy listening to them very much.

[Jackpine Radical]

47. Rush who?

[benburch]

49. And don't wiff Rush either!

http://www.tiposesso.com.nyud.net:8090/ProductImages/products/poppers/pr.jpg

Poppers are BAD for you!

[Touchdown]

57. Well, that brand is anyway. Bad headaches.

You should clean your video heads with...

[Maru Kitteh]

51. I happen to like pigs very much

They are smarter than dogs and very friendly when treated well.

Rush Limpballs would have some serious work to do before I regarded him with 1/50th of the respect I have for pigs.

[Eloriel]

53. I disagree. I think for those of us who CAN bear it now and then,

that it's quite valuable. For one thing, he often either creates or HAS the rightwing talking points. It's useful to know in advance what arguments and memes are likely to gain ascendency.

People are going to know if they can handle listening to him now and then or not.

[ornotna]

54. That's an easy one

I hate that prick and everything that he pukes out of his pie hole.

[nolabels]

60. I like his fuzzy bananas

[Mr_Spock]

58. I can't imagine listening to that lying murderer

He'd kill his mother for a dollar.

[Individualist]

59. Never have, never will
