She really hates Dede Scozzofava and worked against her without ceasing.

Prejudiced piece of garbage!

13. Rush isn't dumb at all. So many here forget that.
He makes millions a year off of his listeners. He might not even give a shit about what he says...he makes MILLIONS saying it and it's never questioned by his listeners.

Now his listeners? Complete fucking morons.

23. Just because someone makes a lot of money does not mean they are smart.
Is Mike Tyson smart? Is Brittany Spears?

I would place Rush Limbaugh in the same category as above.

26. No. Those are just two dumb entertainers.
Edited on Tue Nov-03-09 07:37 AM by YOY
Brittany Spears and Tyson are dumb sure...but Madonna, Quentin Tarantino, and William Shatner (and thousands of others) are entertainers too...although not exactly famed for their stupidity like Tyson and Spears.

He just entertains a niche market of morons. He discovered that market. His fans are the idiots.

30. Neither have I. That is the persona he wants to put out. The man is an entertainer.
Edited on Tue Nov-03-09 10:38 AM by YOY
or so he claims to escape from scrutiny.

Just like the "Git 'er done" guy in real life he might very well be a different person.

Frankly I think the dude is a pedo junkie but hey...he has found (like Ann Coulter) a way to make money off of idiots. Where he believes what he says (and he may or may not) is besides the point. He's raking in big time bucks over these rubes. That means saying stupid shit to them ad nauseum. They love that stupid shit. It makes them feel smart.

2. Wouldn't surprise me.
She can kiss my dego ass though even if she's not.

Remember that she is a fundie as well and a former Catholic...nobody hates mainstream Catholics like fundies (Atheists ain't got NOTHIN' on Evangelicals) and mainstream CAtholics couldn't be more oblivious to it...

Wasn't that the third K in KKK?

8. Honestly, I have no idea...but I like to remind RW Catholics about the dogs they lie down with...
and those are some mangy rapture-ready curs that would quickly turn on their "allies" if given the chance.

11. Only for the mainstream and lefty Catholics.
Edited on Tue Nov-03-09 12:36 AM by YOY
The RW CAtholics have Gay-hating, Jew-hating, Pagan-hating, and misogyny in common!

Not to mention a complete disregard of "Social Justice" no matter what the man in the funny hat in Rome says of it's importance! I've even heard of a few who ignore the Church's acceptance of evoution. I guess they figured out a way to bypass the church and still call themselves Catholic.

15. Well, at least don't include the Jesuits in the tirade. They don't fit the profile!
Most of the RW Catholics are the "lower class" ones. Few with a Jesuit education would think that way! Think Fordham, Georgetown. BTW, the RW's just hate the Jesuits! LOL!

16. and Franciscans are quintessential hippie anti-materialistic tree huggers/nature lovers.
They preached earth stewardship before it was cool.

Shame I couldn't keep that part of my faith. They have potential.

17. it was the Jesuits that told me it was acceptable for me not to believe. SoI don't! LOL!
Edited on Tue Nov-03-09 12:47 AM by saracat
As Thomas Aquinas said" you can't reconcile faith and reason". And I can't.I believe what makes sense for me to believe.

22. Yeah and they also have big money. You couldn't get to be a Jesuit
in my Dad's day unless you were from a weathy family. My "godfather", my dad's best friend, was asked to be a Jesuit because he was the heir to(I think) Sinclair oil! My mother said he was gorgeous and all the girls were hysterical when he graduated Georgetown and went into the seminary. He was a wild one too.Palled around a lot with the Kennedy's. Everyone loved to go to confession to him but threy siad it was hard to ask for absolution when he was there doing the same stuff with them. I have a step uncle who is known as the Jewish Jesuit as his dad was Jewish and he eventually became a divorce lawyer. Go figure.
Recently it was the Jesuits that came out and said they didn't think it was impossible that Jesus was married! Andrew Greeley is a Jesuit. A Georgetown education teaches one to question everything. The Jesuits are the intellectual arm of the Church. Many of our top pols are Jesuit grads. Clinton was , and the Shrivers and all the major pols are professors at Georgetown and Fordham.

25. They think Italians are mainly Catholic, therefore unAmerican.
Also probably hate Italians simply because they are Italians. Don't care much for anyone with non-WASP names or recent immigrant parents. Recent being the last 100 years or so.
Don't like Indians, either, though.

A hard bunch to please, really.

32. Well, mom's family is part American Indian, pop is an immigrant and I
was raised Catholic and I'm married to a Jew, so they sure don't like ME.
I think they really like people who are decended from the Puritains and used to own slaves and wish they still could, but hardly anyone else.

Edited on Tue Nov-03-09 04:16 PM by old mark
bullshit, and go on from there.

No one ever said they were too smart.
Honestly, I think who they like varies from day to day.
Who they hate is pretty constant.

28. Palin strikes me as the kind of person that would talk about herself behind her own back
if it were physically possible. :)
