    Rush WAS the Right, minus both extremes.

    He was a Christian who never clouted ANYONE with his religious views.

    He was a pure-hearted Conservative - like me.

    Ted Turner's CNN was left-of-center, but remember, there was no Fox News for comparison, and Ted was out of the picture by the time Fox established itself.

    CNN has always been prone to errors of omission - there were always notable things that went unreported.

    Adding Jane Fonda to the equation didn't help.

    Interesting that Ted was essentially a low-grade Trump - one could argue rightfully that Trump became TRUMP in order to escape whatever shadow Turner might have cast.

    “Yesterday, hundreds of thousands of people — Americans who have gotten tired of being ignored and lied about and smeared as racists by these very Democrats in the media and the popular culture,” Limbaugh said.


    “Americans who have gotten fed up with having elections stolen from them by the Democrats, including the White House. Now they think two more Senate seats have been stolen, and they thought they were going to be stolen even before the election.”

    The thing that he omitted is that the reason people thought that the election stolen was he and others had been feeding them a steady stream of lies for months/years.
    I'm not calling the man a monster but I hardly feel that objective fact is speaking ill of the dead either.

    Idol, with all due respect, you don't know dick about Limbaugh, and I'm afraid I must count you among the "people who have been told...".

    Perhaps you could favor me with your least favorite Rush anecdote, one you collected while you listened to him?

    Maybe something about his drug addiction, or his three failed marriages?

    Let's hear your personal opinion on his racist/misogynist/homophobic inclinations and precisely how you formed these opinions?

    Do it now, please.

    Next time you use Wikipedia for a reference Idol, keep this in mind and what my response is going to be... FACT

    Inside Wikipedia's leftist bias: socialism pages whitewashed, communist atrocities buried
    "The days of Wikipedia's robust commitment to neutrality are long gone," co-founder Larry Sanger said.


    Big tech has faced repeated accusations of bias and censorship, but one platform has escaped much scrutiny: Wikipedia.

    The online encyclopedia, which claims "anyone can edit", is the 13th most popular website in the world, according to Alexa's web rankings. Google gives it special placement in search results.

    But critics – including Wikipedia co-founder Larry Sanger – tell Fox News that many Wikipedia pages have become merely left-wing advocacy essays.

    "The days of Wikipedia's robust commitment to neutrality are long gone," co-founder Larry Sanger said.

    "Wikipedia's ideological and religious bias is real and troubling, particularly in a resource that continues to be treated by many as an unbiased reference work," he added.


    Interesting i asked you this question before, now there is a FACT answer
    The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money

    Can you use the word Patriotic for a description??

    Well before Fox News, these things were never pointed out on any other network, the same you notice it here as well with our local and even our considered 24hr news networks they only side reported/quoted in US politics or anything going on is CNN, most of which if i watch already know it is bullshit Fake News..

    Again with no other view or really showing the "FACTS" i never thought it to be untruthful, and really when Ted did run it, the reporters didn't show the bias they do today....


    Interesting that Ted was essentially a low-grade Trump - one could argue rightfully that Trump became TRUMP in order to escape whatever shadow Turner might have cast.
    Again i never would have looked at it that way without Fox, again Ted running it didn't seem as biased or having an agenda, more reporting the news.......

    I don't pretend to know the private man though it should be noted that many a terrible person is good to their friends. I do know he was or perhaps maybe played a racist/misogynist/homophobe when the racism/misogynism/homophobism served him. I don't need anyone to tell me that. I know that from his own words.

    If you were a friend of his then I'm truly sorry for your loss.No asterix. If we are being fair though, Rush the man wasn't adverse to saying unkind things towards others, many of whom couldn't return the abuse in kind. Punching down as it were. So again if we are being fair then his defenders shouldn't complain now when people do similar to him.

    Also forgive me but more evil has been done in the name of religion than basically everything else combined so clinging to Christianity as proof of someone's moral meliority doesn't really resonant with me much.

    Probably the biggest beef I have with Mr Limbaugh though is that he has me agreeing with S.E. Cupp.

    Granted the Canadian military is neither the biggest or the best equipped but I still think one shouldn't ever disrespect by calling a joke people who is it came to it, would sacrifice their own lives to try and keep you safe.
    I'll rephrase that in terms a fascist like yourself might better understand. I'm sure that the 200 men who fought at the Alamo seemed trivial to the vastly superior Mexican force that attacked them. Yet and correct me if I'm wrong, no one has ever called the men who died at the Alamo a "joke".
    Even a single man standing alone unarmed in a doorway to defend his family against a mob deserves better than to ever be referred to as a joke.
    PS Cunt.PPS Canadian Elite Special Forces are JTF2, cunt. Be a scalpel, not a hammer.
    Sometimes it's not the size of the dog in the fight, it's the size of the fight in the dog. See Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan etc.
    I see this is a sore spot for you, and i will leave it at that
    Your face is sore spot.

    Do you have proof of this??

    Here is my problem with any speaking/opinion on anything, you can have your opinion and speak it is good, but also have an open mind and respect others of there's, meaning there is nothing wrong with diversity, and really Rush did speak of that. And when you have others that speak and are completely against anything they don't agree with, then there is the problem!!!, and there is lots of them out there, and they make better news and ratings to have them on don't they

    Think about that for a second Idol......I have faith, but i am not "Religious", there are people that are in the middle and that is where Rush was and that can be bothersome to both sides Left and Right......

    If you were a friend of his then I'm truly sorry for your loss.No asterix. If we are being fair though, Rush the man wasn't adverse to saying unkind things towards others, many of whom couldn't return the abuse in kind. Punching down as it were.

    Interesting way of looking at things....But saying your beliefs and also saying and respecting others, is a lot different then most that seem to be brushed off by the Left Wing Media, the man was respected by people with open minds and knowing they weren't pressured to obey and follow......

    Also forgive me but more evil has been done in the name of religion than basically everything else combined so clinging to Christianity as proof of someone's moral meliority doesn't really resonant with me much.
    The question to this is, does the bad outweigh the good,that do have faith?? How many bad has faith saved??

    I am not disagreeing with you on this point Idol, i am just thinking having a Democracy Capitalist country that is Divided........Think about your answer now......

    Probably the biggest beef I have with Mr Limbaugh though is that he has me agreeing with S.E. Cupp.

    https://www.cnn.com/videos/opinions/...m-home-vpx.cnn
    Again any opinion involved on CNN i would compare it to Wikipedia , regardless if there is positive of negative opinions......

    Here is a question, we communicate on a screen together, and we both have our opinions on things, some we do agree with and some we don't ,but seeing someone in person and seeing peoples expressions and reactions on a topic, do you think understanding other peoples views would be different??

    Howard Stern does a radio show, do you think he is the same sitting at a table eating supper with friends??

    Rush was considered a straight shooter, and respected for speaking of topics that most of the people that do have the same views do not, again if you remember back i said that Conservative and Moderate people just don't talk they vote, Rush had a show that did speak to those people even know they wouldn't....

    And really the way News or media is today the loudest on both sides are usually the smallest part of the Country, but hey they make ratings and hits right..

    I myself have fun here but i am not a radical !!! even know you see it that way, i have my views of things that i believe in and the same you have yours, but the question always is, and the country live with mine or yours, regardless if you claim to be Conservative or Liberal??

    That is the problem Idol, i know we agree on some things but there is no party that has a middle anymore, hens the Divide

    I will give you one examples... I don't disagree with abortions, but the limits i do!!! So if you tell me without any reason you can kill a baby once he/she is born or in the last trimester we got a problem!!!! . And don't give me that bullshit that this rarely happens!!! Then don't make it law and make it punishable if it does!!!!!!

    I don't have a problem with immigration, as long as the person benefits the country and puts no stress on the economy or poses a threat to the lives of others, meaning no criminal activities were done in the other places they lived....

    I actually think you agree with me, am i wrong?? Now name a party that looks at it the way i just said?? That is just 2 issues on Party Policies??

    His own words?

    Where did you hear "his own words"?

    Did you read them?

    Hear him quoted?

    Did you hear the relevant words from his own mouth?

    To be clear, we were not friends, although he remembered me from one call to the next.

    I said he was a Christian; I said he lived his religion.

    I also said he never smote anyone with it - he never preached.

    My sympathies as re Ms. Cupp, but her misapprehensions are no doubt due to her having not heard his words from his own mouth.

    The only semi-acccurate thing in that ^^ blurb was his snide comment about feminism giving ugly women access to the mainstream.

    I can easily imagine the same comment coming out of Liberal icon Bill Maher's mouth, except he wouldn't have been kidding.

    One final comment as re S.E. Cupp:

    That she finds herself contracted to CNN in any capacity whatsoever says more about CNN than anything else.

    She is a small property.

    Maybe you should move on to a higher-class network, like MSDNC; eventiually you might try OAN.

    Apparently I'm not the only one harboring misconceptions. Bill Maher circa 2021 is as much as a liberal icon as Pat Buchanan is.
