    I had never really heard about this guy untill he recently start flapping his gums in all manner of ludicrous spiteful ways. He certainly seems like a nasty piece of work.

    Personally i wouldn't be surprised if he is making this up to appear to be a bad ass. I doubt any reporter would change thier stories based on phone threats from a fat faced sweaty prick like this clown.

    The sad thing is that he is the leader of a legion of young angry men, folks who have been disenfranchised, but so desperately want to be a part of the establishment, and yet have never been introduced to the idea of introspection or self-realization.

    Imagine if someone used Rush to inform them on politics and/or what it is to be American. Scary stuff.

    Some people would question good news for their country, but never question something like this. I remember the last dishonest thread started about the guy.

    He has them cheering this "capitalist" system where a guy like him gets a ton of money for spouting off on the radio, warmongering, and acting like a tough guy because he will find out where your kids go to school. If you take a close look at Limbaugh, there's really not much there. I mean he never wore the uniform for a day, yet he is all for war, he dropped out of college, he has never held a job that didn't involve entertainment. Not that I care about the last part per se, but I find it a bit ironic. This is what he was afraid of having exposed (I hope it's not worse). And don't get me started on Hannity...

    When you think about that Dominican trip a little and think about some of the raunchy republicans we have seen, it makes the, "We'll find out where your kids go to school," bit even more ominous :eek:

    That's the frightening thing. There are a lot of people who use him and people like bill oreilly as providers of information on which they form their opinions.

    Rush Limbaugh can't even wipe his own fat ass! A betrayer of his own cause. He lambasts drug use then is discovered to be a drug addict. I remember the time he used to pull his hair out of head and tell us there was NO global warming. Now even Bush admits there is. Rush won't until they've got palm trees growing in Hackensack.

    I know these things about Rush because I used to listen to him daily.

    He's a loudmouth phoney, who sold out his own cause with his hypocracy and for a bottle or perc's.

    I don't understand why it’s ok for a report to right a negative article about Limbaugh but its not ok for him to find information on the reporter? While involving children is over the line I don't see anything wrong with what he did if he didn't involve the reporter’s children

    Briant tried hard to miss the point (as did his links) and congratulations on that. Here's context:

    http://www.rushlimbaugh.com/home/daily/site_101507/content/01125113.guest.html

    We've already learned that media matters habitually lies about its stories. Wonder why Briant would keep using them?

    Media matters has a wonderful reputation of late of dragging up fake stories and looking like morons afterwards. Briant is toting the pill for them tonight. Excellent ;)

    The second link I posted has the audio. The words came out of Limbaugh's mouth, "You know what, whe're gonna find out where your kids go to school..."

    The reporter should have called the FBI. Maybe he still can.

    I know. We've already learned that context and selective outrage are your point here. I've already congratulated you. If you wanna continue suckin' off Soros, that is really your perogative ;)

    Limbaugh is a disaster, even worse than Bill O'Reilly.

    He's a total scumbag.

    Yeah, and he's been getting worse. I think he was worried after his drug addiction was discovered. Then, he realized many of his fans would forgive him no matter what. Now you see more of what he has been all along. He's like a disasterous relative they don't want to admit needs to be disowned.

    He's an ex drug addict? Makes sense.

    He gives the right something to get riled up about while they are polishing thier guns. If there is one thing the right love to hear it's some fat guy shouting about things they happen to already agree with.

    This is like the time he called soldiers who objected to the war "phoney" soldiers.

    Liberals would have a lot easier time discrediting him if they didn't habitually misrepresent what he is saying.

    Who knows better about the dangers of drugs than a drug addict? What you're basically arguing is that anyone who is affected by something, shouldn't be allowed to talk about it. Ex-cons should no longer be allowed to talk to students about what will happen to them if they don't obey the law. Because hey, that's hypocritical.

    Of course Rush is going to try to cover up his own problems. He'd like to be able to prevent other people from going through what he went through without having to embaress himself publically. And he may very well have helped a lot of people.

    But, liberals don't care about that. They don't think smokers, drug addicts, or ex-cons should be allowed to educate the public based on their own personal experience. Or is it just Rush that can't?

    ^ the main problem for me is that he was so outspoken against drugs while he was getting high as a kite just so he could ramble on all day on the radio.

    Nothing worse than a hypocrite like Limbaugh telling you how to think about politics, but I guess sheeple are just used to that.
