kind of missing the irony aren't you ?

hardly as much as you

Very Original

so THIS is what YOU do here?

This is what happens when you have a poster (we're looking at you, Mayoria) tries to play word games rather get involved with semantics. Seriously. No substance.

On the other hand we have Majesty and Peak who although frequently wrong (and rarely correct) at least give POVs with substance.

Want proof? Just check out their posts.

And you talk about WORD GAMES without talking about the kindergarden one liners of your peanut gallery ...

Never teach a pig to sing. It wastes your time and it annoys the pig.



Necessitamos mas muebeles para los borregos y los puercos tambien.

Mayoria, Why do you like to put down others?

I REACT in kind.. people here use nasty rude names and insult those who take an unpopular stand.

I'm open minded, can be convinced, don't generally use rude names, am willing to apologize.

You are looking at my posts one sidedly and not seeing the rudeness of the others.

You're very entertaining

And you sit in the "middle" standing for nothing

You've got nothing. Nada. Zip.

I see. However, you must realize that you came to the RRMB with what appears to be a chip on your shoulder, saying nasty things towards RANDI.

Tell me, what type of response did you expect?

"I'm OK - You're OK". Dated but a good read none-the-less. You might want to check it out.

First of all, it's part of the game to twist ANY unpopular remark - to be nasty..

You perceive the chip, I don't think I have one..

I'm actually amazed as to the extent of inflexible, hateful attitudes around here..

Talk about wanting HONESTY... people here accept honesty only if it falls exactly in line with their beliefs.

They act like Hippies -peace & love" but act like monsters and have hateful names for anyone with a different view - I'm not even republican.

I'm assuming you had a fat finger check with your multiple responses.

You can get a feel for where I was going with my comment and what the book is about in the link below:

And of course the poster in question has failed to understand his role in keeping the conversation substantive.

Here is clue for the spectacularly obtuse: you know the name of the thread? Complaining about Rush Limbaugh's contract? That is where one can see that one can be substantive without being dense.

Another thing, word games? They had the bad judgment to respond to your posts. Word games often lead to more word games. Dinging you hits the source.

Thank you for the bone... at least it is something.

Clear Channel recently signed Glenn Beck to a $50 million deal. Dr. Laura has 8 million listeners and she is up for renewal. The Sean Hannity radio contract is also set to expire soon. His audience is of comparable size to Limbaugh. This year Clear Channel will hand out over a billion dollars in contracts to their right wing douche-bags.

Gotta catapult the propaganda!!

A few facts:
1. The Yankees won't go anywhere if they don't start hitting.
2. I don't support McCain.
3. I'm not in competition with QBC.
I wouldn't ask anyone here to do something I haven't done myself. When Air America was on the air in my area, I listened. I listened for months to see what Liberal radio was all about. What I suggested was to actually listen to Rush and then make up your own mind.

$400 million for prostituting oneself on the air everyday? Well at least Rush isn't a cheap whore.

Uh huh. But you had to highlight and underline certain parts and in that case are now taken out of context. I choose to not emphasize anything as I thought that although the other posters could have more artfully insulted you, I felt that the poster who creates the atmosphere more responsible.

You really are a low life.

What do you mean, "it's part of the game to twist ANY unpopular remark - to be nasty.."?

There is an old saying "What goes around comes around."

Suppose that you play this game of being 'nasty' and twisting remarks; in your "game playing" others will twist your remarks and be nasty towards you, WHY DOES it offend you WHEN it is done to you?

Do you not know that someone offending you is part of 'the game'?
Yet it makes you angry.

It is as if you set yourself up for a fight and then cry because you get hit.

Could you explain it to me?

because it sounds like a case of "I can but you can't" attitude.

Limbaugh was born in Cape Girardeau, Missouri, the son of Mildred Carolyn "Millie" (née Armstrong), originally from Searcy, Arkansas, and Rush Hudson Limbaugh, Jr. His father was a lawyer and a World War II fighter pilot who served in the China-Burma-India theater. The name "Rush" was chosen for his grandfather to honor the maiden name of family member Edna Rush.[5] His family is filled with a number of lawyers including his grandfather, father and his brother David Limbaugh. His uncle, Stephen N. Limbaugh, Sr. is a Ronald Reagan appointed federal judge in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri and his cousin, Stephen N. Limbaugh, Jr., is Judge on the Supreme Court of Missouri. Rush Limbaugh, Sr., Limbaugh's grandfather, was a Missouri prosecutor, judge, special commissioner and served on Missouri's state House of Representatives from 1930 to 1932.[6] Limbaugh's grandfather was very well respected as one of the "patriarchs" of the Cape Girardeau community. Rush, Sr., passed away at age 104 and was still a practicing attorney at the time of his death. Limbaugh began his career in radio as a teenager in 1967[7] in his hometown of Cape Girardeau, using the name Rusty Sharpe.[5]

Limbaugh graduated from Cape Central High School, in 1969. His father and mother wanted him to attend college, so he enrolled at Southeast Missouri State University. But he dropped out after two semesters and one summer; according to his mother, "he flunked everything", even a modern ballroom dancing class.[5] His mother was not entirely surprised. As she told a reporter in 1992, "He just didn't seem interested in anything except radio."[8]

Limbaugh's birthdate was ranked as 175 in the Vietnam War draft lottery. No one was drafted above 125. However, he was classified as "1-Y" (later reclassified "4-F") due to either a football knee injury or a diagnosis of Pilonidal disease.[9][5]

Michael J. Fox incident

On the October 23, 2006 edition of his radio show, Limbaugh imitated on the "DittoCam" (the webcam for website subscribers to see him on the air) the physical symptoms of actor Michael J. Fox, who has Parkinson's disease and has appeared in political campaign ads for candidates who support a form of embryonic stem cell research,[14][15] and has stated that he sometimes doesn't take his medicine explicitly to show the effects of the disease.[16] Limbaugh imitated Fox's Parkinson's symptoms as displayed on the commercial, stating that "(Fox) is exaggerating the effects of the disease. He's moving all around and shaking and it's purely an act.... This is really shameless of Michael J. Fox. Either he didn't take his medication or he's acting."[17]

Phony soldiers controversy

Another controversy occurred during the September 26, 2007 broadcast of Limbaugh's radio show, when he used the term "phony soldiers", allegedly referencing a September 21 Associated Press story about individuals falsely claiming to be veterans in order to receive benefits.[19] A caller, after saying he was currently serving in the Army and has been in 14 years, said, "They never talk to real soldiers. They like to pull these soldiers that come up out of the blue and spout to the media." Limbaugh interrupted, "The phony soldiers." The caller continued, "The phony soldiers. If you talk to a real soldier, they are proud to serve. They want to be over in Iraq. They understand their sacrifice, and they're willing to sacrifice for their country."

[b]Operation Chaos

Limbaugh has stated that there is nothing wrong with Republicans voting in the Democratic primary, as Democrats voted for McCain in Vermont, New Hampshire, Florida, and other states. "This is getting absurd. If it weren't for independents and Democrats crossing over, Senator McCain would not be our nominee!"[35]

<snip>

Limbaugh has said that "The dream end of this [of Operation Chaos] is that this keeps up to the Convention, and that we have a recreation of Chicago 1968 with burning cars, protests, fire, and literal riots and all of that, that is the objective here."[/b]

Sorry to say this, I don't think he's been that good from the get-go. I think what we've had here is a little social concern in the NFL. The media has been very desirous that a black quarterback do well. There is a little hope invested in McNabb, and he got a lot of credit for the performance of this team that he didn't deserve. The defense carried this team.[

On October 3, 2003 the National Enquirer reported that Limbaugh was being investigated for illegally obtaining the prescription drugs oxycodone and hydrocodone. Other news outlets quickly confirmed the investigation.[91] He admitted to listeners on his radio show on October 10 that he was addicted to prescription painkillers and stated that he would enter inpatient treatment for 30 days, immediately after the broadcast.[92] Limbaugh has stated his addiction to painkillers resulted from several years of severe back pain heightened by a botched surgery intended to correct those problems.

Limbaugh presently maintains, and has maintained for many years, the highest rated radio show in the United States, with more than 13.5 million listeners a week.[115] In 2003, he had an audience of nearly 20 million a week.[116] However, public polls have shown that a strong majority of Americans have an unfavorable opinion of Limbaugh, such as a Rasmussen Reports poll illustrating a 2-1 margin of unfavorable ratings, with 62% of those surveyed reporting an unfavorable opinion of Limbaugh, the highest for any public figure polled by Rasmussen.[117]

This is proof there's a sucker born every minute, and in this case, the sucker is whoever the dumbshit is that'd pay this worthless piece of crap that much money.

Whoever it is, if they really wanted to do some good in the world would sitck Limpballs in a padded room, and give the $400 million to any of a half a dozen worthwhile organizations that'd make this country better. because sure as fuck Rush is making it worse.

Congratulations to Limbaugh if he can get his employer to pay him this money. The real driving force for his salary are all those who listen to his rants. People flock to talkers who tend to spew what they are thinking.

You make it sound so dirty.

People tend to flock to talkers who they find entertaining, whether they agree with them or not. There was a time when we could receive AAR here in Dallas and I was able to tune into my favorite AAR personalities.

For awhile, before Ed Shultz took over her time slot, I regularly listened to Randi Rhodes. Given that she was on opposite Hannity, that is saying a lot. I never agreed with anything she said, but I found her to be very entertaining. During my morning drive I would listen to Rachel Maddow. Again, I didn't agree with her politics, but I found her to be very insightful.

I was really upset when the Dallas AAR affiliate was taken off the air. We do have a Nova affiliate in Dallas, but unfortunately the power is so low that I can't receive it in the northern Dallas suburbs.

I don't understand why anyone who disagrees with Rush needs to go so over the top with stuff like: "dumbshit, worthless piece of crap, padded rooms, fuck Rush".

He's a media personality and he's extremely popular with many people - a majority of people. Some would think that even deserves a little credit & respect..

a. the majority of people? so what 180 million? that is the majority of people

b. do you want me to list popular world leaders or propaganda artists over the past 100 yrs? popularity doesnt mean he doesnt specialize in propaganda and sure as f*ck doesnt mean he deserves any respect at all because he doesnt...


i already said he had talent, and that is all he has...
