It’s Official: VoteVets Right, Limbaugh Wrong

It’s Official: VoteVets Right, Limbaugh Wrong

I’ve said on a number of occasions that the Commander-in-Chief is a petulant and ignorant warmonger not worthy of leading America’s troops.

For my efforts, I’ve had quite a few Limbaugh-supporting non-combatants call me a variety of names like "mealy-mouthed puke" and "douchebag." I’ve even had Rush himself accuse me of lying on his live show. At the same time, others have said that Jon Soltz and the organization for which I work, VoteVets.org, "doesn’t speak for all vets." In fact, Rush said it himself:

"VoteVets.org doesn't represent the vast majority of veterans out there."
--Rush Limbaugh, October 5, 2007

So when the new Bloomberg/Los Angeles Times poll of military families came out in an article today, none of us at VoteVets were surprised—especially considering that the Marine profiled in the piece, Kent Fletcher, is an active member of VoteVets.

The results confirmed what we already knew: Given a long enough timeline (and despite what they say), the Bush administration will piss off and alienate every single living member of the United States military and every single living member of their families.

1. Funny how the corpmedia pushed the military loves Bush lie for 5 years before
they decided to look closer at the claim.

They really waited a LONG, LONG time, didn't they?

8. That was changing by early 2004 but the media maintained a false perception.
especially in the broadcast media which will likely continue to mislead on this till no one believes them.

5. Corpulent Bloated Gas Bag
While browsing at a neighborhood yard sale I saw a stack of books written or inspired by the bloated corpulent gas bag known as Rush Limbaugh. I laughed at the large stack, selling for .25 cents per book and I mentioned that his books were cheaper than one-ply toilet paper, but that I would not want to wipe my nether region with anything so full of rancid acid and poisonous methane fumes that would deposit more feces on my arse than it may remove. My husband laughed and then a local shrew piped up proclaiming how much she enjoyed Rush's show, "Otherwise, how would I know what was going on in the world?". I judiciously responded, "Your devotion to his program reflects much more about the listener than the purveyor of such tripe.". She snorted, slowly processing the jibe, and then nodded, "I guess it does. uhe uhe.".

The piece of all this that haunts me to the point of distraction and frustration is that the ignorant, underemployed, easily duped, and incredibly bigoted people in this nation seem to nod in unison to the noxious waves of sewage that spew so freely from the mouth of this grotesque primate. Some could not blame such a blob from capitalizing on the stupidity and ignorance of so many foolish Americans with the free press that he manipulates and prostitutes, but I am grossly ashamed that so many of my fellow citizens give any listening time or allow such nasty filth into their homes. These are the same kind of people who would decry pornography, abortion, or other sad reflections of peoples choices, but they willingly allow and welcome this toxic rubbish to fill their homes, their cars, and their thought processes. Then, to add to the cloud of fatal fumes, they extol those same opinions, narrow bias, bigoted mis-representations that they hear from him, in some unifying flood of dumb blind lemmings, all happily flowing to the cliff that leads to bitter contention, cruel judgement, and twisted manipulation of information and ideas.

Their devotion to anything from such a vile slob as Rush Limbaugh only causes intelligent, creative, thoughtful and pro-active people to disrespect them and everything they stand for. I'm embarrassed for them. I'm completely disinterested in their excuses for listening to him, (i.e. "he's funny, or I only listen to see what Hilary Clinton is doing wrong, or He has some good ideas"). Whatever the excuse, it's shameful and reflects their own bigotry, their own ignorance, and especially lack of creativity or ability to think for themselves.

The only action necessary to shut this ass up is to turn off his program. click- JUST DO IT!!!

Put him on an ice floe off the coast of Alaska, without his teeth
I've heard that theres an old Inuit tradition that when someone is really old and can no longer contribute, that in a gesture of kindness they are placed on an icefloe and sent adrift. In short order they sleep and freeze to death and are left to return to the sea.

I say that Rush Limbaugh is certainly past any usefullness to the world and should be placed on an icefloe without his teeth. Unfortunately he'd still be able to vocalize his hot noxious gaseous bloated opinions and the methane would escape to the ionisphere causing an even bigger hole in the ozone, possibly adding to the global warming in the Northern Hemisphere and raising the sea levels, flooding even more towns and villages along the coasts.

Perhaps it's time that someone put him on the pig hoist and made bacon and pork rinds from him to feed to the redneck idjits that listen to him. Smoke him and Serve him up!!!
