Rush Limbaugh Speaks! On Name Calling

Rush was discussing a phrase he coined --> "Femi-Nazi," after Barbara Boxer used it in a statement. Apparently Rush intended this to only apply to about 12 people or so, and not to Barbara Boxer. Then he dropped this comediac gem, "If you don't like that term, Senator Boxer, perhaps you would prefer "idiot." I can call people that, but I don't like to call names."

Can you imagine what Rush would be like if he did like to call people names?

Which changes a lot. I'm sure he believed it as he said it, then was back to calling names after the commercial break without a care in the world.

Of course, the high irony here is that Limbaugh, the king of ad hominem attack (perhaps losing it now to Anne Coulter?) has never worried about changing his tune when it suited his argumentative interest.

Remember when he accused the Clinton Administration of "situational ethics" -- i.e., making an ethical pirouette to justify a given act at a given moment in time?

Sorta like the Pubbies complaining about how the Dem's are blocking their judicial nominees, after stonewalling Clinton's appointees for six years.

Inconsistent. Dishonest. Unethical.

These jockeys don't really think. They are good at repartee and that is a sign of intelligence but they are not good at thinking. Thinking requires expanding your brain outside the box and they follow the same patterns day after day which only requires memorization. Any animal can be taught the same response to stimuli.

I'd like to say it is a right-wing thing, but there are those on the left who also get off on it. Rush is a master.

I have an aquaintance, a member of a community group, that is a right-wing-nut. He loves rush and hannity. I'd never even heard of hannity until I met this man; I must travel in the "left" circles. He regularly uses the term "femi-nazi." I held my peace until one day he was joking publicly about the "hussein-huggers." Knowing that I was attending peace vigils. He didn't point me out specifically; it was inferred. So I nailed him. I told him that I was heartily sick of the name calling; that I didn't allow it in my classroom full of 8 and 9 year-olds, and that I wouldn't tolerate such juvenile behavior from him, either. He backpedaled quickly, insisting, "I wasn't talking about you!" I responded, "It doesn't matter who you are talking about. If you can't engage in an adult, respectful debate about the issues, don't engage at all. And, have you noticed the similarity between 'hussein-hugger' and 'n_____-lover?' Are you advocating labels of that sort?" Well, apparently he can't. He hasn't said 2 words in my presence since, and heads for the other end of whatever room we happen to find ourselves in.

Apparently, if you are a rush listener, you don't rely on your own ideas; you just repeat what you hear him say, like a good acolyte.

Rush Limburger obviously doesn't consider Democrats and liberals people! :grr:


fed2dneck to Rush: I don't like calling people names, either.....question is, are you a person? I don't think so. :evilgrin:

Rush doesn't like to call people names? Let's see. Rush has invented the terms "Femi-Nazi," "Compassion Fascist," "Pinko-Lib," and many, many more. Seems to me that the man LIVES for calling people names.

But, as Dennis Miller says, I could be wrong.

a traitor to human consciousness!

Listening to Rush is like being buggered in the ear by a syphilitic rat! (But I mean that in a good way)
