The Progressive Machine is ruthless and likes to control and dominate. Currently Our Radical Progressive President Barack Hussein Obama seeks to control the media. He is currently trying to silence FOX News and get the other news organization to not cooperate with FOX. This is an attempt of media control that is too obvious for all to see. This is dangerous and it can’t be allowed to be successful.
Anitta Dunn who is White House Communication director came out and attacked Fox. Calling them an arm of the RNC, all the while she is an admitted Mao supporter. She also admitted in an interview that the Obama campaigned controlled the media!
The Obama campaign’s press strategy leading up to his election last November focused on “making” the media cover what the campaign wanted and on exercising absolute “control” over coverage, White House Communications Director Anita Dunn told an overseas crowd early this year.
In a video of the event, Dunn is seen describing in detail the media strategy used by then-Sen. Barack Obama’s highly disciplined presidential campaign. The video is footage from a Jan. 12 forum hosted by the Global Foundation for Democracy and Development in the Dominican Republic.
“Very rarely did we communicate through the press anything that we didn’t absolutely control,” Dunn said, admitting that the strategy “did not always make us popular in the press.”
This is the Progressive Mindset of controlling the message. They are admitting they engage in Propaganda and seek to silence critics. They are Totalitarian pain and simple and must be called out. Progressivism is the biggest danger to American freedom It is Totalitarian by nature and will do anything to impose their way. No wonder Progressives love tyrants, they themselves want to be Tyrannical here in America.
Below is a Video of Anita Dunn describing their control.

And this is supposed to be news to us?
Dear Anita must be taking pointers from Obama’s dear friend, Hugo Chavez.
P.S. Why does this woman give me the creeps?
If it were not for Fox News, we would only have a Pravda-like media in this country.
It’s not so much about control, but rather collusion.
Ever notice the similarity in modus operandi between this white house and the proprietor of a certain blog?
Normally, I’m a free marketeer, but I almost think a little “trust busting” is due for the media. Most of the print and electronic media (except the internet) is in the hands of about 5 individuals. Supposedly this was done in the case of newspapers to save the papers, but as we can see, the acquired papers were quickly dismantled, merged, or allowed to die on the vine.

ever wounder why some of us are so jumpy about the 2nd amendment?
-just sayin.
The news coverage of Zero has been pathetic. I doubt most people care what kind of dog he owns, where he ate lunch today, or what Michelle was wearing. Why is it so hard for the MSM to understand that they are going down the toilet while Fox News becomes more popular?
Does Anita realize how un-American she is? Oh wait, her hero is Mao.
So how many media outlets will be pissed off about this?

Except the commenters on a certain blog can thumb their noses at the blog owner and take off for a more congenial site. We’re stuck here with Obama and his crazy campus radicals until the turkey is either voted out of office, decamps for Brazil with half the Treasury a la Marc Rich, or is carried off in a flying saucer, or something.
The habit of the arrogant to brag before they have truly consolidated their power has traditionally been their downfall.

re: #10 by tunnelrat
the funny thing is, that at age 12 in 1980, i noticed the media bias against reagan. i used to drive my parents nuts because i made them get me national review and always watched firing line. mom and dad were both dems back then.
the media, the clinton presidency, the constant bashing of W, and now the fawning over 0 has pushed my otherwise old school dem parents to almost the right of me! they and their friends NOW see past the big media and dont pay attention to it anymore. they do fox and rush and the internet.
i use them as a bell weather for all things politics…and if they are the bell (they havent been wrong since 1980) then the dems are in for an ass whiping of astounding proportions.

Exactly. They’re not even attempting to hide their biases any more.
“Yeah, OK, we’re whores,” sez the MSM. “We like being whores. So what? Whatcha gonna do about it?”
Well, look at your ratings and circulation and you’ll see what people are doing about it.
They’re not only whores, they’re dumb whores.
It’s disgusting how 0 and his merry band of toadies are now openly celebrating their various deceptions and lack of respect for American values.

It’s almost as if they’re under instructions to divert us with “bread and circuses” – i.e., Michael Jackson’s death, the balloon brat, or Obama’s poor puppy.
Do you know, I was so uninterested (or slow on the uptake) that it took me until yesterday to figure out that the First Dog is named after Obama. Dog’s name is Bo = B.O. = Barack Obama. Narcissist is right.
My laugh of the day came when I saw a pony-tailed old geezer (not CJ, this was one of your scrawny moonbats) reading “Newsweek” in the cafeteria at work. The front cover has a story about why Biden is no joke.

Treaties like that are made to be abrogated. So far as I know this country is under no obligation, legal or moral, to engage in a suicide pact. If Obama is feeling suicidal, well, let him do it on his own time and not drag us into it.

Right. It’s in your face complicity and if you don’t like it go start your own country. Well, maybe not that extreme, but they do intend on taking what they can whether you like it or not.

I have become super sensitive to liberal bias. Its everywhere, even on Americas Funniest Home Videos. The host Tom Bergeron is a complete lib and will take a jab at Bush, southerners, conservatives or any other part of American culture he sees as “beneath” him.
I told my dad about this and he was skeptical. One night we were watching together and there was a video with a pig as the subject. The host Mr. Bergeron made a derogatory comment saying “this must be a capitalist pig” or something similar. I just looked at my dad and he looked at me and started laughing and said “Son of a bitch, kid. How about that?”
Liberal bias is everywhere. It permeates everything and the only weapon we have is to make people aware of it.
I lost my grandad in August. He was 103. A lifelong dem too.
He voted for Obama. I couldn’t believe it!
I told him I went and cancelled out his vote by voting for McCain LOL.
My parents are lifelong Republicans and so am I. The first person I voted for was Reagan.
My dad grew up poor, had multiple surgeries for club feet, had three kids by the time he was 25 and went to night college for 10 years.
Retired Executive Vice President of the company he worked for.
A self made man whom I am very proud of.
My grandad was too, but I couldn’t talk him out of voting for the O LOL.
re: #50 by Gypsy Commenter
Whoops! Pardon, Kitteh — no slight on your nic intended.
In a quick pre-Frankfurt six-figure sale, Mitchell Ivers at Simon & Schuster/Threshold acquired world English-language rights to The Post-American Presidency by Pamela Geller, the popular Atlas Shrugged blogger, and four-time New York Times bestselling author Robert Spencer (The Truth About Muhammad and The Politically Incorrect Guide to Islam [and the Crusades]). Scott Mendel at the Mendel Media group did the deal and says the book will appeal far beyond Threshold’s conservative base. Publication is expected in July 2010.

I never noticed this, until the Iraq war started. I sat at work surfing for news, worried for the troups. Click on CNN or CBS and it was a disaster–we were getting creamed. Click on Fox and, surprise, we were kicking butt. After that, I noticed it more and more. And it permeates everything now, een things that should not be political.
Team Obama Losing The Fox Wars
…the Obama administration has crowned the champions of the little guy, of Main Street USA who feel oppressed by the Political Industrial Complex. The Tea Party crowd have their conduit. Team Obama went out and designated Fox News the one group outside the political industrial complex who will challenge the status quo ‘eff-ups in DC….

re: #54 by typicalwhitey
My parents were life-long Dems too. Both were raised poor during the Depression and believed the Dems were the party of “the working man.”
My dad was a very conservative Democrat – a Scoop Jackson fan. He believed in a strong defense and was very anti-abortion (a devout Catholic).
There would be no place for him in today’s Democratic Party.
My sister has become conservative, but my 2 brothers are moonbats. They say to me “Dad turns in his grave every time you vote GOP.”
I say, “I used to make fun of Dad’s values when I was a lib. I returned to the values I was raised with and that’s why I don’t vote for Democrats any more.”

re: #61 by Kitteh
I first noticed after 9-11.
I remember clearly a Today Show segment about wedding cake. The home audience got to choose the clothing, venue, honeymoon, food, etc. of a couple who won a “wedding” put on by the show. Katie and Matt were looking at the cakes and Katie pointed out one in particular that she liked and quickly put her hand over her mouth and said “whoops, I’m not supposed to say I like something because that will sway the audience voting”. I thought, they FRIKIN KNOW they persuade people. She was instructed not to say anything, what else do they tell her to say or not say? She is that effing concerned about a wedding cake bias? How about the welfare of our country you b*tch? I never watched the show again. It all made sense.

re: #64 by Donna V.
It’s strange — to a great extent, the two parties have swapped their positions on many issues. Where they hold (a few) issues and attitudes in common, there can be found the fabled “centrists”. The Republicans still like business and free enterprise, but there is much more emphasis on the small businessmen nowadays. The Democrats still promote the Union movement, except that the unions appear to be under pressure from radicals, once again.
re: #56 by mawskrat
Expect a ponytail eruption very soon now.

and that line would have been enough to shut my mouth and start me thinkin.
Most news outlets should be ashamed of themselves –
I had some conservative visitors over the weekend. They are from South Africa and still watch BBC, Old news sites….
They had NO IDEA about the ACORN story, or the Mmmmm Mmmmm Mmmmm Obama song. None of that had been on the “regular news stations.
CRAZY!
re: #56 by mawskrat
Wow.
Heads exploding for sure.
Congrats Pam and Robert.
re: #41 by Rodan
The “New” Democrat Party is just like the “Old” Democrat Party. The Radical Unionists, organized crime, Machine Party Politics, croneism, Leftist fellowtravellers, usful (and useless) idiots of ten different flavors, that is the Democrat Party. Add to it 9-11 truthers, Isolationist anti-Israel paleo-populists, trade protectionists, the lot of them have been the backbone of the Democrat War Machine since FDR. You can add the Ku Klux Klan and neo-confederates into the mix as well. All of this mess with an undoubtably facile PR wing (aided and abbetted by the lap-dog media) make up what calls itself the Democratic Party today, but that is the way it has been in memory of anyone living today.
People are leaving the Party as it becomes clearer and clear the factions that these people really represent, but it has not fallen near hard enough or far enough for me not to fear for the safety of the nation.
The Democrat Party hasn’t changed so much as the makeup has come off the old whore, and the beer gogles have dried up, and people are seeing her as she is for the first time. Like with the dried-up old whore, their reaction is “I was about to get fucked by her!”
It’s never to late to say no (until it is entirely too late to say no).
re: #73 by Grimcargo
chuckster is screwed no matter how he plays this!
this will be fun to watch.
Went to the store, back now.
I wasn’t of voting age when Reagan ran for Ca Gov., -far from it- but I was listening even as a kid. The man enthralled me and it was not welcome at home. He was the Gov during my highschool years. My dad used to engage us kids, there were 8 of us, and I was the only one that managed to take him to task for his downspeak of the man. And when it came time for him to run, again, as POTUS in 80 I was there.
To me, he is one of the great.
yup, kind of scarey to hear someone in the administration that was bragging about how they ‘controlled’ the media and released videos rather than speaking with reporters to ‘control’ what the press did.
For an administration that promised the most “Transparent” Administration ever, they seem to be about nothing but control of the media.
Once again…..
Ignorance is Strength, Freedom is Slavery, War is Peace.
My late mother was a D to her last day, and never realized that while she had not left the party, the party was leaving her. She died seven years ago, so bless her she did not have to witness what is happening to our country. I have to wonder, had she had the chance, if she would have broken from her past and voted against the One. I shall never know, of course, but I would like to think she would have.
re: #56 by mawskrat
That is great news. I hope the book does really well. Success is the best revenge, especially since a certain party did everything in his power to destroy their reputations and livelihoods. Fortunately, his power was not all that great, as it turns out.

Who is the ‘creep’ Charles is referring to? Is it the racist John Gimbel who threatened the Obama Administration?
So racist that he also threatened the Bush Administration in the same way, prompting visits from the Secret Service?
So racist that he called upon California residents to use ‘deer rifles’ to kill cops?
As far as I’m concerned, Charles is more of a radical than that guy, and that guy is a 100% nutter psycho.
Greta was just on Fox, she does not know how to take the axlerod put down of Fox as it includes her and all at Fox. The commies in the White House did not say, some at Fox are bad, they said Fox is bad and just a Republican shit hole.
Poor Greta, all that Democrat ass kissing and for what, the back of the O’s lefist hand via axelrod the paid media thug from Chicago way.

He and his dad (her father, which she calls by his first name) planned a trip up the East coast. She obviously thinks her conservative brother is a racist, chain-smoking, un-housebroken slob. This woman has never held a full time job and has lived off the State and Fed. governments her whole adult life. OH and she is a LIBERAL democrat. Read the email below and feel the tolerance.
Hey Mike,
Hope you are gearing up for your “up the coast road trip”. I just wanted to lay down a couple of important house “ground rules” when visiting just to avoid any weird energy while you are both here.
*In case you still smoke:
I don’t allow smoking in the house under any circumstances, even in a separate room. Both Chris and I are highly allergic to cigarette and cigar smoke, we also don’t want it in our upholstery. I am fine with you smoking in the backyard- with a cup of sand or water to extinguish the cigarette. Please don’t litter with cigarettes on the ground or street. We are both pretty freaked out by people who throw their butts on the ground or street.
***Men in the household (guests included) have to put the toilet seat down after use- That is a hard and fast rule here. Even Chris has to do that, and I am a pain in the ass about it when its not done.
**Just between you, and Chris and I: We should avoid topics of politics and race as we are completely opposite and passionate with our opinions. I just want to enjoy the time I have with you and Mark in a completely chill way.
I hope this is clear without any hurtful feelings. I am really looking forward to having you both here and hopefully the weather is nice to do some Autumny things and have good eats.
Call me the day before you plan to be at our house just so we can set up around what time that you would be coming over, also it will give Chris and I time to set up dinner plans for that evening.
Have a blast and safe drive on the way up.
Love Nancy
(names have been changed to avoid hurting the innocent)
Poor Geraldo, he is next under the Obama bus.
He has to be thinking, he may just jump ship,
he does not have what it takes to stand up the the commies, he is one of them, he will go to ABC or CBS soon. IMO

My family are pretty lockstep on our social issues. Abortion we don’t discuss (although both of my sisters had their two children. Their’s weren’t pregnancies of convienience, I assure you), gun control is a given (youngest got her first pistol earlier this month; there is some concern that she might murder her first husband, but she’s getting trigger work done on it and all the bells and whistles. You don’t waste the time and money if you are planing on blasting someone. You get a cheap black-market piece of shit that can’t be traced to you), and Obama has been loathed since he first became a contestant. His position on gun control guaranteed that. My parents were Reagan Democrats (my mother at least. I doubt my father remembers whether he went for Ford or Carter. Everyone who could vote went for Reagan). Etc. Politically we are harmonious, as one woul dexpect from an olde family that lived past the times when we all wanted to murder the rest of us for one matter or another.
On the whole, I’m happy I didn’t kill them. It wasn’t always an easy decision…

People who grew up during the FDR era and WWII saw Big Government as being on their side. My parents were hard workers – but I don’t think it ever occurred to them to question programs like Social Security or Medicare. They had grown up with the myth of Hoover feeding his pet dogs steak while the country starved, etc.)
The difference is that prior to the ’60’s, many Dems also believed in a strong defense. And the cultural issues which have so poisoned our national simply weren’t issues back then. Nobody favored gay marriage or abortion back in the 1950’s. Most Americans were churchgoers, so that didn’t come into the picture either.

Lance, I recently was at a party at a smoker’s house and a liberal woman whined because the host was smoking. I’m an ex-smoker myself, but I refuse to be an ass about it. Everyone knows this guy smokes and so if you go to a party at his house – he’s going to smoke! Don’t go if smoke bothers you that much.
The host refused to be bullied. He said “Lisa, it’s MY house” and calmly continued to puff away. Then she sat there making faces like someone had cut one and waved her hand around – but she didn’t leave and she didn’t go outside.

As I’ve noted several times (once here and several times at the hole) there were progressives in the 30’s. They were proudly communist. Their entire agenda parallels the current progressive agenda.

re: #126 by Donna V.
I think what happened was in common with the debacle in Vietnam and the rise of National Greatness Conservatism to the fore (with Regan), you have codified a reactionary movement on the Left that is the opposite of National Greatness- National Incompetance Liberalism? Since America isn’t perfect (what is), she can’t be great. She has to be just as bad as every little hell-hole in theThird World It is an article of secular faith to them.
Therefore, anything that harms America, takes her down a peg, helps reduce our insanely high standard of living or cut our insane demands for energy (note the emphasis on true reductions in production, noit clean coal or nuclear power generation that is safe for the environment and the American economy), etc. When we look at Cap and Tax, or National health care we gasp “That will bankrupt the economy!” they don’t see our objections. To them that is not just a feature of the process, but a clear goal to be aimed at.
Saving the Planet (whatever the hell that means) takes dim second fiddle to bankrupting the American economy, driving up costs thus reducing supply and curtailing demand (shit is just too expensive). The standard of living will take a nosedive, with the upper middle class (and lower upper class; the Ruling Elites don’t see anything out of this touch their lifestyle) bearing the brunt of the downward calamity, but the poor will get poorer too. This is all basic Communist doctrine. Crush the middle class, fatten the rich for the coming slaughter, and when the powderkeg comes apart be there to grab the important pieces when things begin to come back together. It is better to reign in hell than to serve in heaven for these cats, and they don’t mind creating that reasonable facimili thereof to reign in. Power over the abject is everso much nicer than being first among equals (which is where we are rapidly headed) is.

Just like he mocked the death of our troops in Iraq. Catch a clue folks, hes mocking the body counts, which in the H1N1 case is .05%, comparable to any other strain of flu. Just like the deaths in the worst days of the Iraq war were comparable to those in Detroit and Chicago.

“Mr Johnson”…is that you chuckie??
Rush was making a point. Usually the flu is hardest on older folks. They are using the H1N1, saying it is more dangerous for children to help push through the heathcare bill.
That is what he is saying anyway.
My question is, why isn’t the vaccine widely available? Because it is coming from the govt and we all know what a model of efficiency it is! Want them in charge of ALL your healthcare?
I don’t.
Even if you agree with “mr.” johnson, how is it he only sees these things happening with conservatives? Why doesn’t he jump the libs who are racist/sexist etc.

I’ve had H1N1 – it is a very severe flu. You don’t die from it, however – just the secondary infections that creep in with the long bout of flu

I however love him because he is fearless and could care less if his shtick offends the PC sensibilities of the left or the right. He is the biggest force in speaking out what many would like to hear but never did in the MSM.

As a correctional officer I will be allowed to get the H1N1 vaccine when the inmates do which is before the general public. All vaccines carry risks, ever since the small pox vaccine. (Did anyone here see the John Adams miniseries?) Do the risks from the vaccine outweigh the risks from the H1N1 flu? Probably not especially if you are pregnant or have other medical conditions that make any flu a greater risk than normal. I however want to get some immunity to this thing before it mutates or has viral sex and becomes something far worse than it is. So I will get vaccinated.

I’ve been listening to Michael Medved lately. He’s just as forceful, has facts to back up his opinions as well, and gets more callers who oppose his views than Rush does. Medved handles them with temperate ease.
Medved speaks the same language as Rush, just in a different tone.
Just sayin’.

100 million?
Why low ball the number?
Add in socialists, which are only housebroken commies, and make it 1,000 million.
Make sure Rachel Carson is on the list and it will go much higher.
Rush is almost always quoted out of context by the left.
They quote him out of context and then act shocked and dismayed by their own concoctions.
He’s a good guy.
The fact that he gets under the left’s skin is a sign of his effectiveness. There isn’t a single liberal radio show host in America who will ever be able to touch his ratings.
re: #265 by Rancher
Well, I don’t know how much vision it took to see that SUV’s would be a target; the marvel is that a blind eye was turned to the car companies’ shell game with corporate CAFE (fuel economy) ratings for as long as it was. They stopped making big V-8 passenger cars and sold everybody big V-6 and V-8 SUV’s instead. And they got away with it for decades.
re: #270 by Bunk X
Yeah, Medved rubs me the wrong way. He’s good but it’s like chalk on a board to me. Prager is my fav for sanity,
re: #259 by kiwiviv
Maybe, but what makes H1N1 unique is that it will kill healthy young adults and pregnant women disproportionately to any other flu. This was recognized when it was confined mostly to Mexico and still hasn’t been explained.
re: #261 by typicalwhitey
No one that has a kid, and spends any time with said kid, could be on 1.0 all day long and post that many comments.
Usually flu affects old people more seriously than youngers ones. The reverse is true with this “swine flu.” It is young people who are getting the serious cases and account for mist of the deaths. Old folks seem to get a milder version of it, probably because they have at some point been exposed to the virus before. That is why kids and young adults will be given priority for the H1N1 vaccine.
Nothing political about it.
re: #276 by Sparky
I LOVE Prager also
re: #277 by Rancher
Yes – and it also affects overweight folks badly.
re: #267 by typicalwhitey
I don’t usually talk about Rush at all. This came up apropos of that 1.0 thread. I couldn’t help commenting that I’m with them on this particular one. That doesn’t make Chuckie any less of an asshole, obviously, but I agree with them this time.
re: #270 by Bunk X
Actually, half the time I can’t stand listening to Medved, and turn the radio off. Not because of any issue with Medved, but because of his moonbat guests and callers.

Both wars were part of the same IMO.
CAFE is another ball and chain on freedom, there is no need for it. I’ll pay for my own gas, and if the libs will quit filing lawsuits on every potential drilling site, it would be a non issue. Now Canada doesn’t have that problem, at least there, the libs know that drilling drives an economy.

Inmates are first in line for flu vaccines, not just in NM either. Fair? Hardly. I’m not sure of the justification either. The officers that guard these inmates usually don’t get the vaccine when the inmates do, they are available to them when they are available to the general public. CDC has made an exception in the case of H1N1 and I plan to take advantage of it.

Actually, I don’t think the CDC has said that overweight people are more likely to get H1N1.
I think overweight people are more likely to get the complications that can be fatal.
This is why anyone who is overweight needs to keep in close touch with their doctor if they get it.
It doesn’t mean that they will die from it, but it does mean that they might be more susceptible to the complications that can become more of a serious and life-threatening illness.

He mentioned going to (I think it was) Australia, and he was at a movie theater with a friend.
A preview of the movie “Free Willy” appeared on the screen, and the audience roared with laughter.
Sorbo later asked his Aussie friend, “Why were people laughing so hard about that preview? I don’t see what was so funny about it.”
And the friend explained to him that “willy” was a slang term in his country for a certain part of the male anatomy.

Rush is pointing out that the H1N1 flu has the same mortality rates as the usual seasonal flu that goes around each year but Democrats are trying to sensationalize H1N1 as a way to sell their horrific Obamacare plans that would destroy America’s health care system.
The Dems are using H1N1 in the same way that they use manufactured hysteria over global warming to try to shove their liberal agendas down our throats.
He was making fun of LIBERALS not children.
Liberals will use any possible means that they can dream up to try to destroy America and our health care system.

Umm except he’s had a number of members from the medical community call in and agree. Some of the most tearjerking calls have come from healthcare pros. Unfortunately, you have spent far too much time listening and believing the left. 90% of Rush is pure satire. It took me a while to get that. I for one would like him to stop clowning around as much as he does, but I’m afraid he’d get a stick up his ass like Hannity if he did. Or just go completely off the screaming precipice like Michael Savage. Rush is a huge donor to a large number of important causes and always goes out of his way to support them, even on the air. Name me a liberal who does that, without massive self-promotion.
Say what you will, and many things I agree with you on, but you are talking out your ass on this and just repeating lib talking points without any evidence.
Ask people who have listened for years. Hell, I’ve only been listening about 9 years now, and I started believing all the shit the left said about him. It turned out that the person I was listening to was far different than the ogre the left put forward.

The CDC found that since the April introduction 86 children have died as a direct result of exposure to the H1N1 swine flu virus – 43 of which have died in September and October alone.
Health officials are concerned with the death figures, as seasonal flu varieties typically kill 40 to 50 kids over the course of an entire season.”

What’s funked up about the left is Rush raised money for kids dying from AIDS but the money was refused (IIRC) because he was the one who collected it.
Moe..
Social policy is what is creepy.
Wrong and; Communist, Nazi, Fascist and not allowed according to the Constitution of the United States of America. If that matters to you.

Personally, I think Beck is putting all the conservative talk guys to shame, and that includes Rush, Hannity, and Levin. Those guys don’t tell you anything you didn’t already know. Beck, however, is pulling up rocks that were never overturned before.

You don’t get Rush yet, unless you’re yankin’ the chain.
Sure, you can taste the stew with a spoonful and get an idea of the quality, but you can’t sample a word and determine the value of a dictionary.
re: #425 by Moe Katz
People who die from H1N1 aren’t dying because of a mere exposure to the flu or from the flu itself.
They are dying from the complications.
This means that they have other health issues that have compromised their immune systems or else they die because they’ve gotten pneumonia that has been left untreated over time.
The left is using this as an excuse to rip the rugs out from under 250 million people when it comes to their health care.
All they need to do is to warn people that compromised immune systems are a dangerous complication for this flu and that healthy people should see a doctor rather than letting pneumonia go untreated.
The libs are using H1N1 as a weapon against us.
This is all that Rush is saying.
Damn that was profound.
What if there were about 100 Mandys and they met to comment on a blog? Think of the conversation that would ensue.
(Sorry. I’m in a giggly mood tonight.)
re: #429 by Moe Katz
All you’ve seen of him has been taken out of context.
You’re falling for a highly dishonest tactic.
re: #436 by Eliana
And the CDC is a commie plot.
Here is something Rush has done:
The letter was auctioned off on e-bay, with the sale price to be donated to the Marine Corp legal defense fund, and Mr Limbaugh will match the purchase price of 2,100,100$ to make the total donation to that group 4,200,200$

re: #429 by Moe Katz
WTF does this have to do with the fucking CDC. He’s not saying it’s not real. He’s ridiculing the liberals that turn out every fucking crisis, real or imagined to scream what about the children!
Whether or not someone thinks this is a real crisis is moot. That wasn’t the freaking issue. It’s the willingness of some useful tools to push an agenda on the backs of the dead and dying.
It’s too fucking late to keep up with this argument. I have children to get to school in the morning. And I seriously don’t have the time to waste wondering what is going to kill them tomorrow. The point of life is to deal with things as they happen, not get worked up over whatever zombie apocalypse is going to annihilate everyone this week. Panic serves no purpose. The CDC did s great job detailing the precautions that we should take to prevent the spread, and guess what, to a large degree it’s working. If Mexico had been able to do the same the death toll would have been lower.
Countries that have more governmental control are far more likely to see large numbers of deaths historically. Why? Largely because the government is inefficient, it cannot get immunizations out quick enough, they tend to put the sick together in one area, thus encouraging the disease to propagate and spread to the people helping, this also helps freak strains that otherwise would have died off, to survive by passing more quickly.
The government is not the solution for everything. And even though words mean things, they mean a hell of alot more when taken all together and not just cobbled together like a badly made shoe.
On that bizarre metaphor I bid you all good night.

You don’t listen to him. You miss 99.99999999999% of what comes out of his mouth.
All you hear is what the worst jerks on Earth say about him while quoting him out of context.
If you got your PhD by listening to only .00000000001% of what was being taught, you wouldn’t be able to get a job in your field.
Yet you think this is enough to judge Rush by when people here are telling you that you don’t understand who he is or what he’s saying.
You are judging him based on one word out of a million.
This doesn’t show good judgment on your part.

Read the details of the specific deaths from H1N1.
People are dying from untreated complications (or else they were already compromised from other illnesses).

Oh and on that matter, he was actually the shy, stuttering kid in the back of the class that never knew what to say. He worked for years to get rid of his stutter, it still pops up when he gets excited or nervous.
Also admits he blows it with the women because he’s never quite sure how to act.
Boy, there’s a real bully.
Now I’m out, had to try and catch up real quick.

You did say up thread that you don’t listen to his show that much, so if he did take such a position, would you really be aware of it?
I think Rush is misunderstood much of the time.
I can see how some people might find his personality hard to take, especially if they only listen to him in small doses – you do have to listen to the guy for a week or two to really ‘get’ him.
Limbaugh is pretty blunt and forceful, and some people may be turned off by that sort of speaking or delivery style, but if you can get past that and listen to him, I think you’d find that you agree with him about a lot of stuff.
A lot of liberals think that he hates women because he uses the term “femi nazis,” for example.
I’m a female who has listened to him a lot over the year, and if you really follow his arguments, you can see he’s really not a sexist pig.
Limbaugh doesn’t tolerate the intolerance held by hard left feminist groups. He’s always polite and respectful to his female callers, even the ones who are liberal lunatics.
He’s the same way in other regards, with other issues…
He’s really not racist, but you wouldn’t know that from the clips and sound bites that left pull out of context, etc.
Maybe the best way to put it is to say that Limbaugh is an acquired taste.
re: #450 by Eliana
Eliana, honestly, I’m in Canada and I don’t really catch any American media that talk about Rush.
So now Al Sharpton is going to sure him for what he said about Sharpton’s role in the anti-Jewish riots.
The laest I could find from the CDC
Please note the number of deaths that had other factors. H1N1 is a relatively minor variant of hte many types of flu. Iy is a paper tiger compared to some strains that have gone arround.

re: #457 by Moe Katz
What you do hear is coming from Rush-haters.
You’re making a judgment based on what Rush-haters say and you refuse to listen to the people here when we tell you (100 times or more) that the Rush-haters are not providing an honest view about what Rush says.
You’d rather accept the Rush-haters’ views than us when it comes to Rush, though.
It makes no sense at all.
I don’t understand why you can’t simply say, “Oh really? I never listen to him and you guys do, so obviously you know more about him than I do. I will accept your judgment on this matter.”

How have different age groups been affected by novel H1N1 flu in terms of deaths?
CDC studied the hospital records of 268 patients hospitalized with novel H1N1 flu early on during the outbreak. The number of deaths was highest among people 25 to 49 years of age (39%), followed by people 50 to 64 year of age (25%) and people 5 to 24 year of age (16%) This is a very different pattern from what is seen in seasonal influenza, where an estimated 90% of influenza-related deaths occur in people 65 years of age and older. (See Graph C below)

Poor, poor Hannity; I’ve seen him get ragged on by so many conservatives at so many blogs and forums.
I think Hannity is bland, but I think he’s a solid conservative.
I cannot listen to Michael Savage. I’ve tried, but he yells so much, and he seems to hate everyone, even other conservatives.
re: #457 by Moe Katz
Moe, If you’re in Canada, why are you griping about a radio personality that you don’t listen to? Did someone take your name to use as a sock?
You don’t sound like yourself.
Moe has attempted to stir up a shit storm over Christians here recently, so unless he provides links and facts, just ignore. Just another Canuck that drank the Flavor-Aid.
re: #417 by Moe Katz
Do you even read what you type?
Try not to take this the wrong way.
I’ve read a few of your comments and thought you were a jerk.
I continued reading your comments and came to the conclusion you were just mistaken and were not trying to be an asshole on purpose.
I’ll keep reading your comments though, on the chance I might understand where you’re coming from and may be wrong about you.
See how it works?
/Then again, my first impression my be correct, but I will give it a try.
Rush is a good guy. Beck’s my favorite right now, but Rush is a close second.
Those who malign Rush don’t listen to him. Or if they do, they hate him not because he’s “hateful,” but because he’s so relentlessly cheerful and upbeat. It’s what they hated Reagan for.
When I listen to Rush, he jokes, he looks at the bright side. When his reprehensible drug use caused him to lose one of the most important things a radioman can lose, his hearing, he didn’t bitch and moan. I remember when Clinton won his second term, people were calling in to Rush weeping. He talked them down with jokes about how great the comedy was going to be for the next 4 years.
It’s what I don’t like about Hannity and Levin and Savage–too negative. Beck can be negative, but he always finds the hope, and he can be wickedly funny, as the bubble boy parody he did on his radio show proves.
Plus, how dare an uneducated Midwesterner single-handedly turn talk radio into a billion-dollar enterprise? Has he no respect for his betters on the coasts?
I’ve got no time for bigots from the coasts who don’t get Rush. We in Missouri are going to suffer with the Rams for many more years because he was not allowed to bring his desire for excellence to bear on the team because of his political beliefs.
As Ace noted, it’s not illegal to be a conservative yet, but it’s highly frowned upon.
re: #464 by Eliana
Eliana, I’ve disliked Limbaugh for decades, and that’s based on samples of his broadcasts. If I’m not persuaded by the others here maybe that’s because I have different political sensitivities to this crowd. I don’t hide that. I’m a center right Canadian, with health/social services sector worldview.
Pant, pant, pant. Ok, I finally caught up. How is everyone tonight?

CNN Psychoanalyzes Talk Radio Listeners, Cites Liberal Study on Format
Excerpt:
Rush’s on air persona is contrived. Of course he’s a true blue conservative, that’s not a put on, and sure, with his tip toeing along the edge of insensitivity, which he does on purpose, he’ll go over the edge at times. Speaking extemporaneously for 3 hours a day, 5 days a week, trying to be provocative, sure hhe’ll have his mishaps. Here is a better measure of the man:

Would a total asshole with no redeeming qualities conduct an annual leukemia fund drive that by it’s 16th year (2006) had contributed over 15 million dollars to fighting the disease?

Based on “samples of his broadcasts”. What part of “taken out of context” that we keep telling you that you don’t understand? Read his books and you will find yourself agreeing with him for the most part if you are center right.

The Rush-haters have been playing you like a fiddle for decades.
They are lying to you.
You’re willing to lose yourself in their rhetoric.
You’d rather believe their lies than what we’re telling you after our considerable experience listening to what he actually says day to day.
If you want to believe the Rush-haters on blind faith, it’s your choice. It’s not a smart one, though.

re: #205 by Moe Katz
So, do you base that opinion on having listened to him or based upon what others are saying about him and a few soundbites taken out of context?
… and yes, taking soundbites out of context can be used to make him sound ugly because he often used parody and sarcasm to mock the left. Years ago, his definition of this was “illustrating the absurd by being absurd”.
