Rush Limbaugh greatly disappoints, in response to Congress Womans trajedy...
Posted 01-10-2011 at 12:12 PM by Time and Space
No condolences to the family, no tribute to the life, aspirations, and political diligence of Congress woman Giffords...
no instead his show starts off with him pointing fingers at 'The Left'...wow....
He's doing the exact same thing he's accusing the 'left' of doing
and that is using, exploiting this incident for personal gain, to bring attention to himself and his show.
Ye sure, some Polititions and others may have initially falsely tried to tie the shooter to Sarah Palin...(we got that)...but to sit there and stretch that point out over the entirety of his show, demonstrates that his tactics and motivation, is no different than the so called 'political left', which he claims to be nothing like...
Well obviously he is just like his political foes, cause he's doing exactly what he accuses them of doing; exploiting a sad situation for personal gain, and ratings.
I mean why not spend the show discussing mental illness? I mean what a great time to bring light to that subject, and ways people can get help by have a doctor on his show to discuss signs of mental illness, different medications ect ect....
At a time like this, that would be helpful to many, and maybe prevent future inncedents...
But no...the almighty knowing Rush, who insists he's ethically above the 'left', and most of humanity, simply uses the Congress Womans misfortune, as a way of propting himself up, and to demonstrate how 'right' he is, and to show America, or at least his listeners how 'evil' and 'duranged his political opponents are...
Same o same o.....
The truth of the matter is is that some Democratic leaders did not act or respond in a manner
differently than Republican leaders would have in a similuar situation...
For instance...
Talk about blame and exploit during tragedy...
that's all the Republican leadership and talk show hosts have been doing to President Obama
during this economic recovery...day in and day out they have blamed and demonized the President for all that ails America...
{I mean talk about exploiting others pain for personal gain...the whole mid-term election was built on that...and obviously it worked!}
This while others suffer and deal with real life issues...
Human nature is the same, regardless of what or which political ideology it's wrapped in...
Tactics are the same as well.
So for Rush and other talk show hosts, to try to shame the 'left' for doing exactly what the 'right' does, is laughable and shows the total transparency in politics...
Both sides need to grow up, but in the mean time they will continue to hold us, the majority of hardworking Americans, hostage to their child like political shananigans...
No it's your fault, no it's your fault, no it's not it's your fault...

In summary....
Rush Limbaugh has spent his whole broadcast today, demonizing all of his political opponents...
He, like those he accuses, has managed to turn a tragedy, where many lives where lost, into a show about
'How bad my political oppents are'...wow...
This whole inncident simply comes down to him being able to demonstrate to his listeners how
'rotton' Democrats and 'leftist' are....again...wow...
Considering so many other contructive issues could of arisen from this inncident.
I just find his action expectingly disappointing...
Again, instead of spending precious air time promoting self, and political ideology, and dividing emotionally hurt people...
Why not use that air time in a more constructive manner? To bring about solutions, and answers?
(yes, I know, it's his show he can do what he wants)..
And that's why there's no nobility in the man...
For if it were my show I'd lay aside political pap for a day
and discuss mental illness, give out hospitals, resorces,
have guests on who could further inlighten auidence about signs of mental illness and where to get help for family members.
Then I'd spend some time going over the careers of some of those affected...and thanking them for their service...from the Federal judge who past away, to the 9 year old child, to the Congress woman, and all the others...
And I'd spend some time thanking and honoring those who were brave enough to tackle the gun man...
I could go on and on about other things I could bring out of this tragedy other than politics....
It just goes to show you how mentally twisted these talk show hosts are...
That they can't see or view life outside of the political lense anymore...Posted 01-10-2011 at 12:31 PM by Time and Space

Its why I watch the O'Reilly Factor.
Bill O'Reilly points out what the left and right are doing, and its nothing short of an injustice to everyone.
It doesnt help to point out, to mental patients, or those needing help, (who are going over the edge as that shooter did in Arizona), because they are 'hell bent' on killing someone, and wont admit that they have a problem in the first place!!
Those who know they need help and dont know where to turn, good for them, and I hope they find the resources, so they can get the help they need.
But, a nut-job with a gun, well, there is not much you can do about them, but, get out of the way and hope the Police can subdue the idiot before he kills someone and kills himself!!
I wish you well...

Jesse..
Sorry, Ive been absent for a while...about a week or more...that's eternity in cyber time...
I lost my connection for a while...and it's so wierd not being able to lay down your thoughts at will...
Hand written letters just don't cut it anymore...and you can only talk to so many people on the phone...
Writing or typing just seems to be the quickest most effeciant way to express thought, in todays high speed world...
Now back to Limbaugh...
I haven't had a chance to comment on him or the other talk show hosts since posting the above...
But I new they would milk it for all they could, and still are...
They took the intitial accusation against Sarah P, and totally ran with it, totally played the 'victim' role...
'Oh poor poor me, I'm a poor helpless talk show host under persicution'
They themselves turned around and exploited the inncident for personal gain, as bad or even worse than their political opponents...
I will never feel sorry for millionare talk show hosts who reach millions everyday, and who get paid to distort facts, get paid to be intellectually dishonest, while playing 'innocent'.....
Get paid to slander people and ruin reputations infront of millions....get paid to talk about personalities behind their backs while never having them on to defend themselves...get paid to take advantage of other peoples stupitidy and emotional vunerabilities...and on and on and on...
So no, I can never feel sorry for these hosts, who to a extend control the public mood and conscious...
And then turn around and cry when someone dares challenge their intent, motivation and or even heart.
They have a large enough platform on which to clear their names, most of us don't...
Anyways...
It feels wierd to be back here...mind feels 'stiff'...yet being away from this cyber reality or realm, has brought certain real clarity to my mind again...
Some of which will come out in my next blog post...
(but it hasn't improved my spelling or punctuation)

Its amazing that you havent listened to the Democratic Demagouge (sp), spouting off about the 'Evil Republicans'... How they wish Dick Cheney would Die, and someone to shoot Rush Limbaugh and all kinds of hatred spouted off by the left wing media of the Democratic Party.
The viciousness goes both ways, but, the democrats are really vicious in thier attacks, wanting people to die...
I feel sorry for both, and all People who have Radio shows, because they get to vent thier anger at whom ever they are mad at, for the day, and people listen to them and think, "uh huh, ya got that right!" That creates the 'schism' between parties and then people wonder why each of them cant get along!!
Lessen the diatribe, and focus on what people can do to actually 'make' this Nation a better place, then, maybe we can be the Nation that others look up to again... But, if we keep tearing each other apart, people, parties, nationalities, races, well, we will eventually sink down low wnough that not even a Third World Country will want to immigrate to America, because we have turned into a land of nuts and half baked ideals, who have guns and hair triggers and are ready to shoot the first varmit that crosses our path!!
If you cant get along, then, get along up the road, so I dont have to listen to mumbling to amongths those, of how bad this is, or that is, and be a victim of hatred that's misguided.
I wish you well...

We will never improove as a people, or on a induvisual basis, if all we're ever doing is comparing 'bad behavior with other bad behavior...
For instance...
'Well look what Shawn did, therefore because Shawn did it, I'm justified in doing what I do'....
All that leads to is social de-evalution....
I cannot excuse Rushes behavior, based on what other people do or have done...what's wrong is wrong...Posted 02-14-2011 at 11:12 AM by Time and Space
