"If the system was fair, Limbaugh and Hannity would be tenured professors"
Congrats, Larry Mumper, you win quote of the day. :toast:

But a question, what college could afford Rush or Sean?

<snip>

"If the system were fair," says Larry Mumper, sponsor of the Ohio bill, "Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity would be tenured professors somewhere."

17. Teach students how to write fairy tales?
It is politicaly incorrect to call republicans liars even though it is a title they so richly deserve.

2. Another Question: What University would want those idiots?
It is one thing to be a popular tv/radio personality. Some real substance would be expected from a university professor. I'm not referring to their right wing views, but the lack of any substance behind their views.

10. I think both are college dropouts
http://www.nndb.com/people/428/000022362/

Limbaugh:
High School: Cape Central High School, Cape Girardeau, MO (1969)
University: Southeast Missouri State University (dropped out)


http://www.nndb.com/people/432/000022366/
University: NYU (dropped out)

Of course they all always pull the "Bill Gates dropped out of Harvard" point...

14. LOL - Good one
The average Limbaugh/Hannity listener that they are "Professors of Sophistry" they would think that is a good thing...

15. No they wouldn't - both are lazy, dishonest, incurious ASSHOLES
Edited on Fri Mar-11-05 04:35 PM by hatrack
I've had professors who were assholes, but at least they were hard-working, honest and interested in a lot of stuff.

16. So the only qualifications for teaching the young
are to have no education of your own and to be a total moral failure?

Bizarre.

20. They are if you are a member of THE PARTY
ALL PARTY Members are morally and intellectually superior and desrve to be teachers at BushPutinist Institutions or ANY institution (one day, if the Sturmtruppen have their way, they will ALL be unifromly Bushputinist...just like German universities in the 30s and early 40s.

Yes, and I loathe these Totalitarian Monsters as a jew hated the Nazis, for mostly the same reasons.

At least our Nazis aren't murderous...yet.

18. Where at fucking Heidelberg University, 1940?
These people are insane. Literally. They will do ANYTHING their Masters tell them to, believe any doublethink the PARTY chooses to inncoulate them with.

How long until the Busheviks direct them to behave even more like Soviets and Nazis than they are now?

Does anyone think their consciences, long deadened with their critical thinking skills by Goebbels v2.0, will even make a whisper, let alone being able to shout down that Marching Emperor which Bushevik Propaganda has replaced their Id with?

No, and on that day the will BE the Soviets/Nazis their Imperial Masters want them to be, perhaps a little Kidner and Genlter, but I wouldn't guarantee it.

19. Maybe he meant "tortured prisoners" when he said "tenured professors".
Edited on Fri Mar-11-05 04:40 PM by Just Me
:evilgrin:

They do push anti-Americanism (hate and discriminate against all American "liberals", "feminazis", "pacificists and peace-makers", non-Christian, Democrats) more than anyone I've ever heard. So, wouldn't that make them "terrorists" or "enemy combatants"?

:evilgrin:
