Poll question: Rush Limbaugh Poll
Edited on Sat Oct-11-03 06:05 AM by OneTwentyoFive
Should we as DU'ers keep pointing out on a daily basis the hypocrisy and the tissue of lies that is Rush Limbaugh as we've known him for years?

Or..should we say enough is enough,we can be better than Limbaugh and his Freeper crowd by not posting about his addiction and feeling some compassion for the man?

Vote away...

2. When the enemy is drowning
throw him a brick. I think it was Carville that said that.

Not feeling any compassion here. The first gesture has to come from pigboy. He hasn't earned any yet.

3. Surely Rush has done nothing to earn any compassion
but remember revenge is a dish best served cold. In the future (if he actually ever has one) any Rush diatride can be dismissed with a "hmmm... fallen off the wagon again?" or a "classic example of your brain on drugs."

As for freepers, think how they must feel realizing they've been worshipping at the feet of a common drug addict who self induced his hearing loss.

4. It Would Be So Wrong
to call the flabby coward a hypocritical junkie racist who deserves to be tossed in jail the way he often said drug abusers should be.

And I hope no-one of us will descend to his level and point out to his ignorant hate-filled listeners that they've been following someone everyone else knew was an ugly piece of shit, or that his addiction to hillbilly heroin shows what trash he is on a personal level.

Let us take the high road, as this asswipe never did when using his radio jihad to stir up the sort of scum who pine for the days of lynching bees and McCarthyism.

5. Couldn't pick one. Hypocrisy is relevant, Rush is not anymore
Edited on Sat Oct-11-03 06:58 AM by robbedvoter
So, while I have no problem with others pointing the hypocrisy, I have no interest in discussing Rush.
As Clark said 3 weeks ago: "Rush is full of shit"

6. No sympathy for Rush but I could do without twenty threads a

day gloating about his fall. I hope he's tried and sent to prison and then we can be pleased that justice was done.

7. Feeling compassion for Rush is like mourning the hangman
When he apologizes to all those he has offened my forgiveness is his, but until then I figure all attacks on Rush are just a way of offering antipraise to the antichrist of the right.

8. Hold on here...
Remember how we felt when it came out that JFK was taking pain pills and the Republicans were all over it like white on rice? Sure, there's a huge difference, but I think if anything we should "formally" regret Rush's poor choices. Indeed, at some point he did choose to get his meds illegally.

It doesn't do anyone any good to sink to their level really. If the public is really sick of the politics of attack, that will position us on the high road.

Why give the SOB attention especially while he's out of the public eye and in recovery? I think the less said, the better.

We have plenty to comment on as it is. Now ShRubbish says he is going to bring "democracy" to Cuba. What a crock! Let's keep our focus on his tissue of lies and his dangerous policies and on getting him out of the White House.

9. Jimmy Kimmel said last night that he would like to see Rush and Chong
picking up trash along the roadside in orange jumpsuits.

10. I'd just say...
fuck him and I'm glad he's off the radio for a while. I've got limited compassion and not much left over for a hatemongering, lying gasbag who's got enough money and resources to handle his own problems. Like he tells everyone else to.

BTW, he's even lying about that. 30 days isn't rehab, it's just detox. Rehab takes a lot longer than the initial drying out.

But, when did he ever care about accuracy?

Fuck him.

11. Couple of things here...
This is about the hypocrisy, and not much else.

Most here at DU are compassionate enough for the addiction; but it is the coldheartedness he showed everyone with a problem.

As for those who don't wish to see the 'addict' threads, easy, just don't click into them.

As for the freepers.....who cares, maybe, just maybe, they might come here and see that their idol was a man of no substance. THere was never anything there in the first place, now let us see if he can come clean, and start being the man of integrity he thinks he is.

12. If we kept our mouths shut, the right would still say we're gloating, so..
...we might as well do what we're gonna get blamed for anyway!

13. Keep kicking his balls until there's nothing but hamburger. . .
where the balls used to be.

To paraphrase James Carville: if your opponent is drowning, throw him an anvil.

14. No one is saying don't post about Rush you silly person
If you wanted to do a fair and honest poll, it should be like this:

Should DUers show the same level of hate in their speech that Rush used for years?

OR

Should DUers find a different way to talk about Rush's hypocrisy that doesn't include stooping to his level of filth?

That should be the question.

16. Your post about 3,000 Limbaugh posts would imply that....
Go back and re-read it,sounds to me like you'd rather had all comments about Rush stopped right then.

Honestly,if you don't want to read posts that are derogatory toward Mr.MegaDose then DON'T read them. I don't think your being forced are you?

Your two questions don't sound like a poll,they sound like a chastisement of DU'ers IMO.

17. Huh? Other issues on DU aren't being discussed ?
These threads about Rush aren't all inclusive to DU,there are hundreds of others to read and rehash.

I don't see where this is "endless rehashing" anyway. Many new points are brought up and some dismissed.

Ya know this is important,Limbaugh is the equivalent of Propaganda Minister when Hitler was in power. He's bought and paid for by corporations and spends his show hours tearing apart working class people,women,minorities,drug addicts etc.

Now that his ass is on the line we need to keep on his ass. Mike Malloy would agree,Guy James would agree.
