Does anyone realize how important Rush Limbaugh being a junkie is?

[NNN0LHI]

I went to the local watering hole in town to drink some suds and shoot some pool today, as I may do once a month or so. A group of us guys started talking politics as we normally do and the subject of Bill Clinton came up. The wingers favorite subject when they are losing an arguement. After the fellow finished his speal, I looked up from the pool table after taking a shot and said to the guy, "you know, I heard that junkie Rush Limbaugh say the same exact thing on the radio last week?" And then began looking for another shot. The guy just turned and walked over to the juke box and played some tunes. Listening to Alice in Chains, Down In A Hole, was a lot more fun than listening to some knucklehead rag on Bill Clinton while I was trying to enjoy myself.

Any spelling or other general screwups in this post can be attributed to the Corona Extras. I think the slice of lime in them makes me a bit dizzy? My apologies.

1. Beeyootiful!!!

And, Down in a Hole is one of my all-time favorite songs, too.:D

[frank frankly]

2. i agree and nice work

I spoke with a dittohead I knew back in HS, and this kid was trying to convince me Saddam was responsible for 9/11. the propaganda Rush instills must be ended, or at least returned to the overtly racist fringe.

:hi:

3. Finding out that Fatso is an unrepentant racist junkie

was like Christmas early.

4. Thanks for telling us about this

I can hardly wait to use it - it's priceless!

[WhoCountsTheVotes]

5. All that crap about Democrats was lies from a junkie

"You know, I heard that junkie Rush Limbaugh say the same exact thing on the radio last week?"

I will use that in response every time someone brings up some drug-addled nonsense about liberals. Every time, it's genius. Thank you.

6. Nice shot, Don

thats a good line, I expect to use it in the future.

[Big_AJ]

7. Logical Fallicies ....

it's better to use those than really talk and communicate.

[Johnyawl]

9. As if communication was possible with a dittohead

[liberalmuse]

14. Have you ever tried to 'communicate' with a wingnut?

BWAHAHAHAHA! You can't. Personally, I'd rather use that awesome line than have some enraged, ditto-monkey in my face showering me with hatred and spittle. A couple of times of that is quite enough, thank you.

8. Absolooootely huge!

Limbaugh is as dead as the wicked witch of the west, and doesn't know it. And the ditto heads can go crawl into a fucking hole and die!

12. Those we thought were finished

Jim Baker
Tammy Baker
Ollie North
Kissinger
Poindexter
Swaggart

10. I heard a RWer talking today about the black QB dissed by Jeff Christy

I think in his last game, he rushed like 150 yards and passed 179. He rushed more than the combined rushing offense of the opposition.

He said something about Jeff Christy letting the pills get to his head.

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

11. You could also mention that the Eagles have won 8 straight

since he opened his drug-stuffed yapper.


It might be possible that he's wrong about EVERYTHING.

13. Lime in beer? Oh Jeez. nt

[stopbush]

18. Well, can Corona be considered beer? It's more like yuppie piss.

And Corona Light? Uh-huh...

[NNN0LHI]

21. Not sure what yuppie piss tastes like. Never had any. Can you describe it?

[brook]

20. Lime in Corona....

Si, Senor! Una cerveza sabrosa asi con limon. Try it. You'll like it. :toast:

I see Don has impeccable taste - as well as wit.

[ComerPerro]

15. LOL. Nice

Anytime someone says "Rush said", the response could be "Oh, you mean the druggie?"

[onecitizen]

16. Yep, definitely the lime that makes you dizzy!

I just saw Oberman's show and he did a piece on Ozzie having a prescription drug habit too that is pretty bad. And he mentioned rush and Ozzie in the same sentence!!!!Hahahahaha I bet rush loved that!:beer:

[Catherine Vincent]

17. Wow! It's a good thing you can think of something like that while drunk.

:-)

19. ESPN.com put up a list of "Thanksgiving Turkeys" for 2003

including rock star Jon Bon Jovi for owning the Philadelphia Soul arena football team. They suggested that the uniforms would probably feature sparking Spandex, and that the team's name should be "Philadelphia (Sold My) Soul."

I wrote, "I have two words for ESPN: RUSH LIMBAUGH! Where do they get off accusing someone of selling his soul? That's like Hugh Hefner calling someone a pimp!"

P.S. Did you hear that Jimmy Johnson said that all of Donovan McNabb's critics are now "either in hiding or in rehab"?

[arcane1]

22. Rush doesn't think, he hallucinates

:evilgrin:


weird, Rocknation, all this time I just assumed you were a guy... it must be the head-banging smiley that did it, lol

I must learn that emoticons are not self-portraits! :silly:

[NNN0LHI]

24. I admit it too. She has been here a long time and I was wrong also n/t

[T Bone]

23. I heard that drugged-out junkie Rush Limbaugh say the same exact thing

nice line Don.

Everyone now--- rinse, lather, repeat.

[Must_B_Free]

25. Me too DOn

Had a conversation with a Rush fan this weekend

He was out of ammo - nothing he could really say. He tried to say that it was rumours, but then why did Rush check into rehab?

[Dookus]

26. I think we always have to be careful ....

about taking such joy in the foibles of our opponents. No doubt, some hero of ours will one day be exposed as addicted to some substance. And when that happens, we'll bemoan the the joy the freepers take in it.

We can argue against Rush easily. His lies are so transparent, anybody who really wants to learn something can be shown that to be so. Dismissing him automatically as "just a junkie" is too easy.

I think we SHOULD laugh at his hypocrisy, and point that out often. But we shouldn't use the "junkie" argument on all his positions.

However, I really REALLY understand the temptation ;)

[arcane1]

27. makes for a good additional rhetorical weapon in the arsenal

certainly. One of many :evilgrin:

[NNN0LHI]

29. Dookus

Do you honestly think if we are easy on Rush that the Republicans will ignore, or even slack off a bit for the next Dem foible, which is sure to come? We had better take what we can get, when we can get it. There is no Mr. Niceguy in this politics stuff I am afraid. I agree it would be nice if it were different, but unfortunately it never will be. Take care.

Don

[Dookus]

30. Nope...

I don't believe that. I don't believe the right will ever get nicer because we are nicer. But that's irrelevant. We should be nicer because it's the right thing to do.

Further, I'm not saying we should "be nice" just because it's right. We shouldn't use the junkie argument simply because it's bad logic. We need to address the arguments, not the people. And Rush's arguments are easily refuted.

28. I heard this tune on Werbe's Night Call show.

See if you can get a copy to put on the Jukebox.
