Now I have heard everything. Limpballs just said that our soldiers, |
|
those that do not support Bush, can no longer be trusted to help those that support Bush win this war.
Okay, send all the liberals home and fill their spots with neocons kids since they are so trustworthy.
Also, are you sitting down? Limpballs said "Christopher Hitchens" is a Lib.
He blames Robertson for allowing everyone on the left to misinterpret his words and allowed the left to call the right and Christians to be liars and bigots.
Does the EIB Network do random Drug testing? They need to. Rush Limpballs talks so fast anymore (without breathing),

49. It's a show business term |

It's kind of a terminal downward spiral when a comic realizes no one is laughing at his/her jokes. The more he/she tries, the more desperate he/she comes off, and the whole thing becomes pathetic and embarrassing.

20. Well, I think he is a has been; however, he just signed like a 5-year-deal |
|
for over 200 million bucks.
It's people like him and Hannity and Savage that keep the fires burning. Without their constant put downs, out-and-out lying, and twisting anything that is said to be favorable for the right, there will never be any peace between the two parties. That is their reason for existing . . . create turmoil, create anger, even hate toward a particular political candidate. They do their jobs well.
Hate radio has made Limpballs a very rich man.
I cannot take him anymore. He totally disgusts me.

I saw a commentary reprinted from the L.A. Times (I do not have a link, I apologize) that said both limbaugh and that-guy-whose-name-rhymes-with-VANITY are DOWN in their ratings, enough that programmers and program packagers are now wondering if the hate-radio trend is topping out.

I HAVE heard tons of right wing pundits use the term, and I don't like it.

call a liberal a lib? All I hear from the hate radio is the "Left" or the "Liberal Left." I really haven't heard them use "lib" that I have noticed.

29. You got that right. I have normal BP whenever I go to the doctor, and |
|
my husband has borderline so when I check his, I always check mine and it's almost perfect.
When I listen to Limpballs, I feel dizzy sometimes, as well as feeling like I could explode.
I went for months without listening to him. Then I started doing it for Media Matters (never turned anything in but have tons of recordings of his shows recorded).
The last couple of months the man has just gotten unreal.

Their words are always getting misinterpreted. Like Rush's....I recall he recently said Casey Sheehan's death was fiction.

36. Exactly my point. Limpballs called Hitchens a Liberal on his show |
|
today. As far as John Stewart . . . he could be an Independent, Democrat, Green Party, etc. But I can say 100% sure he is no neoconservative. Especially the ones we have in there now with their PNAC and then the right hate talkers call it all a conspiracy theory the left has come up with. Well damn, it's listed right on the internet and everything they have done.
That is why I hope ole Jebbie runs for Prez in 08. With his big signature on the letter that was sent to Clinton to bomb Iraq in 1997.
It would give us the opportunity to get PNAC's message out there. I have checked the freepers site, and they claim it to be propaganda. I feel like asking them do they believe their hate talking heads or their own eyes? Also, the media NOR any of our Dem leaders never bring it up. I mean if Clinton hadn't have gotten elected, we would already have taken over Iraq, Iran, Saudi Arabia, and Kuwait by now. That is why they hate Clinton so bad. He held them up for eight years. Plus, I do not think any of them believed Dumbya would even run . . .they wanted Jebbie. But ole Dumbya fooled us all . . . by stealing the election. Also, 2004 was another election that was a joke. We have got to get some kind of nationwide voting system that has hard copy for recounts, and we need to come up with something quick or there will never be another Democrat in the White House.

15. Hitchens USED to be progressive |
|
Years ago, before alcohol destroyed most of his brain cells. He did a sharp about-face when he realized that the conservatives will pay well for someone who can write absolute bullshit with a certain degree of panache. It requires no effort and the only thought involved is in twisting bullshit arguments so that an uncritical audience will buy in.
Of course, Hissyfittin' Hitchybitch has lost any panache he may have had. Now he is just a sweaty, smelly man who oozes booze at breakfast. Sick putz!
As for Rush, obviously he hasn't kept up, or all that drug abuse renders him unable to process new or updated information. The buttcyst boy probably thinks Clinton is still the president....

38. The seething hate that comes out of Limpballs mouth when he talks |
|
about the Clinton's, how they run the Democratic party; however, whenever a Democrat got endorsed by Clinton, they went way down in the polls or lost re-election.
He is such a capitalist; however, when he talks about Clinton coming out of the White House richer than he went in, he sounds like he is going to regurgitate.
They didn't leave the White House richer, per se, it was the book deals after they were already out. The amounts they got paid for their books pissed the Republicans off because Reagan and Bush 41 didn't even get anything close to Clinton.
He hates the fact that everybody still loves Clinton and wants him back. They impeached him ONLY because they had the majority to be able to do it; however, the SCOTUS found him not guilty of all charges and Clinton was completely exonerated. That is why he was not forced to leave office. They just wanted to continue to burn our money on a BS investigation to continue to embarrass Clinton and hurt his family. Yes, Clinton was responsible for what he did, and he stated that. He took full responsibility for his actions but what went on between him, Monica Lewinsky, and his wife were no one's business but theirs. The right just had to humiliate him. They continue to try to as well. However, he handed it right to them by his actions. How can somehow so brilliant be so dumb when it comes to common sense????
