And that's not a common conservative trait? I see conservatives throwing out "*******, socialist turd, fascist, etc" constantly on this board. Quit being a hypocrite.

Very plausible indeed.

No doubt it was a coup. Kennedy was going to end our involvement in Vietnam. I believe that is when the Political, Industrial Complex/War Inc took the country over.

Their puppet Johnson started the welfare fiasco and created a huge dependent class that cannot survive without big government. All a part of their plan to keep people they consider undesirable down.

They are also complicit in the drug trade in this country.

Your opinion is gibberish, and no doubt reflects something else....

You are foolish if you think Rush cares about anything other than $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.

My entire family is Republican; my friends and co-workers are Republican and even they can't stand his silliness. Educated people simply do not listen to the likes of Rush Limbaugh - no matter how you want to spin it. He panders to the lowest common denominator.

The only place I ever hear Rush mentioned is right here on CD.
I remember just this same sort of mindless BS back when CompuServe ruled the day and an Internet Account didn't exist for the public. AOL was in its infancy, and none of the services connected to the Internet yet.

You guys never change, but Rush is even more influential, more successful and more-listened-to (not to mention wealthier, much more wealthier).

He's the Jerry Springer of politics.

Same here, and other places like this. Talked about by people who think Ann Coulter is a legitimate journalist.

Don't forget "dummycrat" or "dims"...not to mention liberals are all socialist, communist, fascist, America-hating terrorist sympathizers who want to force people to have gay sex, shoot heroin, have abortions and basically want to destroy all that is good and holy in the world.

Does that make him or what he says more valid or accurate? By that criteria, people like Britney Spears and Taylor Swift and Justin Bieber must be the greatest musicians and songwriters of all time.

We could argue about exactly when and where the military-industrial complex took the country over (though I'm not by any means saying you are wrong) but the point is, the military-industrial complex has clearly taken the country over, in collusion with incredibly wealthy and powerful multinational CEOs, world bankers and energy brokers, and lobbyists.

The media are in the pockets of these folks and so are our precious politicians in Congress and the White House--national-level politicians from BOTH the Dem and Repub parties going back decades.

I seldom hear Liberals refer to Rush without some insult tossed in for good measure. Anyone that speaks out against affirmative action is called a racist, anyone that speaks out against gay marriage is called a homophobe, anyone that speakers out against free birth control is called a person that hates women....

Who dreamed up this war on women - Liberals, despite the long trail of abuse and rape conducted by Bill Clinton against women. Speak up against a "woman's issue" - You hate women.

When it comes to name calling you guys have a lock on it. Even Obama told Hispanics to "get into people's face, bring a knife if the opposition speaks up.

There is no room for discussion on social issues with Liberals. You just attack anyone that disagrees with you. Look how Obama is using the IRS to attack the TEA Party members.

And, of course, AS ALWAYS, you can replace "Liberals" in this rant with "Neocons" and replace the D politicians mentioned with R politicians, and have a post that is 100% every bit as accurate and substantive as this hypocritical partisan hack tripe.

Man, you rabid Dem and Repub fanatics are as pathetic as you are pointless.

No, what the OP started was speculation from Rush.

But at least there are elements that you can draw from Rush's analogy and make an argument for or against.

What gmagoo said pretty much was "Rush took viagra, why listen to him?"

As if somebody taking viagra has anything to do with them piecing together a legitimate argument.
