So what did Rush say about DU?

[durutti]

What threads did he read? What kind of comments did he make? Anyone have a transcript?

[Catherine Vincent]

1. Couldn't you have asked those questions in the thread that has

already been posted instead of starting yet another thread on that blowhard?

[BackDoorMan]

2. WOW, aren't you somethin?

[linazelle]

3. Couldn't she have kept her nasty comments to herself?

:eyes:

[Catherine Vincent]

5. What nasty comment?

I only asked why didn't he/she ask those questions in the original thread. Yes, I did say a nasty comment about Rush but who cares? I'll bet whenever Rush does mention DU, he has someone to count the countless threads about him.

Some of you here are too obsessed with that fat bastard.

[Bombtrack]

6. Probably because it would have gotten buried and gotten no

response

[BackDoorMan]

7. Because no one at the stupid thread was answering the fucking question!!!!

What did Rush say about DU...

You paid no attention and just jumped on the word Rush (as if they are ALL the same thread/post!)

[Catherine Vincent]

12. I did read the questions, that is why I asked why start a new thread.

And basically, all these threads on Rush are the same.

[Timefortruth]

4. I want to know also.

I heard the tail end of a single comment, which I was positve must have been challgenged in here, and that's all.

What were the details?

[Touchdown]

8. I'd like to know as well.

And nobody on that other thread about this fat bastard is talking about what he said.

[imhotep]

9. who cares?

?

[AP]

10. I'd like to know. Nobody seems to know which posts he read.

and it didnt' seem like it was getting answered in other thread.

[wuushew]

11. 8 posts and still no answer

:ping:

sorry I mean

:kick:

</sarcasm>

[Kamika]

13. I wonder what he said aswell

I heard he asked ppl to visit and refresh DU so it would get a slowdown or something

[G_j]

14. sort backs up her point

that the threads are very much the same: people taunting and insulting Rush. Not exactly an exercise of the intellect. It's too bad no one would answer your question. I think it's OK to ask.

[BackDoorMan]

17. Who in the fuck are you talking about? "her" which "her"????

Only "durutti" asked the correct question...

"So what did Rush say about DU?"

"What threads did he read? What kind of comments did he make? Anyone have a transcript?"

[G_j]

21. geeze

sorry! cat_girl25 ..the thread was a lot shorter when I replied, I thought it was evident at the time. :shrug:

blood pressure back down yet? :shrug:

15. Another question is: Who from the WSJ is reading DU. Since they reported

on us and Buzzflash in yeterday's Online Web Report. They are checking us out because they think we are the new O'Reilly/Coulter/Limbaugh's of the Left.

It's delightful really, that we are seen as a "budding threat" that needs to be "outed."

[knight_of_the_star]

16. It's nice to be noticed though

Makes me feel like we are actually getting things accomplished if the opposition is paying attention to us.

[spotbird]

18. Do you have a link?

I'm really innterested.

[KoKo]

28. I will try to dig it up from my Netscape History, later. One of our DU'er

folks didn't want to pass it along because he thought it wouldn't "look good" or something but I was thrilled with it. (but, sometimes what thrills me doesn't thrill folks here). Gotta do something else, but will try to dig it out for you.

[KoKo]

40. Here's the WSJ article mentioning Buzzflash & DU from yesterday's

Online "Best of the Web" when the Saddam news came out.

(Note: this is a long screed of RW biased articles with many links from Taranto, but this is where he mentions Buzz and DU, check out the whole "Blog" to get where the guy is coming from in the "Wall Street Journal.")

Unlike the Democratic presidential candidates, some grass-roots Dems are unable to contain their gloom over the wonderful news. Here's a post by someone called ikojo at DemocraticUnderground.com (quoted verbatim):

I had a horrible feeling in my stomach this morning when I saw that Hussein had been capatured.

This is a BIG boost for *. This will be used in campaign literature. It will make Dems and others who opposed the war look bad as well. I don't regret opposing shrub's war of aggression on Iraq but it sure will be hard for the candidates now, unless they press the Where's Osama issue but since a majority of Americans already believe that Hussein was behind 9/11/01 it hardly matters.

All of a sudden I am not confident he will lose in 2004.

Please boost my confidence in shrub's defeat in November 2004.

Look what he has going for him right now:

Dow over 10,000
Hussein captured
The pug CONvention is going to be in NYC around the time of the 9/11 anniversary
A complacent and compliant right-wing corporate controlled media all too willing to act as an arm of the pentagon and white house press room.
His administration did what his daddy did not, supposedly captured Hussein.

The conspiracy theorist in me says that if this is REALLY Hussein then why didn't * and his media minions not wait until Monday to announce his capture?

Needing encouragement that * can be defeated. Now the stuff about Halliburton overcharging the government will be placed on the back burner as the corporate media celebrates the capture of Hussein.

Not feeling hopeful right now. I have a lot of fear of what he could do if given a second term.

Here's a sampling of comments from "Kicking Ass," the official blog of the Democratic National Committee (also quoted verbatim):

* Pam Bergren: "I personally don't care too much that Hussein was caught--he never did anything to me."

* "marsh": "This is supposed to be a war on terror, not a war on tyranny."

* Erik Latranyi: "Well, tha capture of Sadaam takes the 'failure to capture' issue off the table. Now that the economy is picking up (mall was packed yesterday), Iraq is getting better, prescription drugs on the way, education spending at an all-time high, no further terrorist attacks--what is left? Oh, yes, the capture of Bin Laden. If that happens, we are completely sunk."

44. At least it's slowly leaking out Bush* is nothing but an * to us

and that's our silver lining!

[G_j]

19. that's one reason I occasionally try

to post informative articles here but they don't last long in GD. I hope they visit LBN, Editorials and some other forums. I think though that they come to GD because we spin our wheels so much.

IMO, the best way to 'welcome' these folks is with material and conversation where they might learn something.
:think:

[KoKo]

30. NO! Their job is to pick out "questionable plants" posts here on DU where

someone comes on this board and antagonizes to the extent that we get our "knickers in a wad" and then the singular post gets posted as an example of what "Lefty Web Sites" are saying.

But, if we are important enough to have "Plants or Voyeur's here, then it's not all bad. It might encourage some with "inquiring minds" to visit and learn, but OTOH it gets people instigating us more to disrupt us. So, we have to become more wary and DU loses alot of it's best posters because of the "Clutter." Just my observation....2 Cents.

[G_j]

36. point taken

I just WISH we could open some minds. But as you say, the truth is not what they are seeking here. :-(

[AP]

20. So, did Rush really talk about DU today?

[OneTwentyoNine]

22. Yep,both him and Neil Boortz today....

That does it! Those two guys need to contribute and get a star by their name. Both whores are sucking up bandwidth and they need to support DU with a contribution.

David

[BeachBuckeye]

23. He certainly did!

He singled out the most ridiculous posts he could find and read them as though they were the words of the mainstream DU'ers. Some of the more stupid remarks made here are going to give him plenty to talk about. He singled out one or two posters and named them but for the life of me I cannot remember which ones he names.

[JanMichael]

24. Fine. Let's select some dumbassed Freeper bullshit next Saturday.

Sure we're not nationwide but the web and SW Florida could all hear how idiotic, ugly, they all are.

[BeachBuckeye]

25. Another assignment for you my friend!

I forget what the other one was. Lol!

[OneTwentyoNine]

26. Sounds good to me Jan....

Of course those idiots cruise DU for the most outrageous statements ever then tell their sheep that this is the way all Dem's think and act. OK,time to hit freeperville and get some for the Guy James show.

Freeperville--now your talking some REAL psycho's

29. E-MAIL THEM TO:

The best submission will win a "Guy James" mug.

27. Flush Limpbug can go suck on his own bile for all I care!

33. one quick question...

Why are you guys listening to Rush Limbaugh? people who listen to him are just people too dumb to form their own opinions so they have to have their daily conservative nonsense spoonfed to them by an addicted, overweight, and unattractive man who thinks that making fun of how black people speak is hilarious.

[BeachBuckeye]

32. Don't worry about it. Annie Coulter got her start for the RW with her BIG

Mouth!

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

31. transcript of rush's cherry-picking here:

http://www.rushlimbaugh.com/home/daily/site_121503/content/institute.guest.html

i doubt he really comes here, as he has to be protected from dissent at all imes (hence the call-screeners)

but just in case:

Fuck You, Pill-Popping Cystboy!

[Kamika]

34. man this guy is sad

Only thing more sad then this guy is the ppl who actually listens to him and journalism like this.

[durutti]

38. Journalism?

Rush Limbaugh is a lot of things -- a journalist isn't one of 'em!

[AWB777]

37. I completely agree with you

[EV1Ltimm]

42. he dropped the ball on his responses...

he could have done a little better, i feel.

i'm very disappointed.

[janx]

39. Rush took the read the same posts as some guy named

Neil Boortz (who I assume is another RW radio nut).


They found the most negative threads--there are plenty to choose from on these boards lately--and pushed those.

This place has been so negative that it was probably very easy for them to do.

Perhaps we should keep that in mind.

They're reveling in it.

[wwwunspunmediaorg]

41. who cares?

they will probably post quotes from a few nuttos in Rush's radio show, but Amy Goodman could do the same thing with FreeRepublic. I mean c'mon, Rush Limbaugh's little workers should be doing something else with their time, other than reading left-wing websites, like covering Rush's little addiction?

[ComerPerro]

43. You mean Rush Limbaugh, the recovering drug addict?

Who gives a shit

[Selwynn]

45. WHO CARES?
