A few questions for Limbaugh and the "dittoheads"?
Why do you support the war on Iraq? Do you truly believe it to be part of the "war on terrorism"? Do you think we need to ask questions of our leaders, not as Democrats or Republicans, but as Americans?

To what extent do we personally support this war? Do we support it half-heartedly, say 50%? Or are we 100% behind it? We see no problems whatsoever. Or are we about 80-90% behind it? And if we are going to fight a war where our brothers and sisters die, wouldn't we want to feel that it is a justified war and wouldn't we want to support it 100%? If half the nation is against it, or a big proportion, shouldn't that send up some type of red flag?

Also, we must ask ourselves, what was the justification for going to war? If that justification has not been validated, shouldn't that cause even the mst simple-minded person to question the venture? If you have been lied to several times, about WMDs, about nuclear materials from Africa, about a grave threat to our nation, etc, should even a person with half their brain tied behind their back see at least a reason to question it?

Put all the propaganda and partisan crapola aside and look at the facts, no matter if you are a Republican or Democrat, no sane person can justify the invasion into Iraq or our continued presence there. The facts far outweigh any partisan propaganda from Limbaugh or his dittohead brethren.

1. Rush speaks to the primitive brain.
It's not about logic.

12. Bush Sr.
I have a question for Rush and his dittoheads: Why is it that Bush Sr doesn't seem to recall where he was on November 22, 1963, when it's been rummored he was working for the CIA at the time (which I think he denies). Almost everyone else in America (well, maybe not Bush Jr since he was probably on a binge that day) can tell you where they were, what they were doing, who they were with, etc. This question has bothered me for a long time.

4. I totally agree
People should put aside their partisan stances and look at the truth. The same people looking the other way now are also the same ones who were asking why we bombed an aspirin factory and where are all of the mass graves in Bosnia when clinton was in office. They harped on and on about the all the civilians killed in Bosnia but now think Iraq is ok. Wake up people.

6. My son was exposed to Rush yesterday!
After years of hearing Mike Malloy and now AirAmerica, he heard Rush at his girlfriend's house.

He went on and on about how mean and whacked he was -- he was truly shocked by it.

Rush counts on the fact that our education system has deterioriated to the point where people can barely learn to read, let alone think.

And he thinks a dumb brain is enough, well guess what, a lot of those dumb-brain people still have hearts buried deep inside, and the calamity is getting deep enough, and serious enough, to get past a LOT of dumb brains, and wake up some sleeping hearts.

At least I hope.

What a beautiful way of putting that!

Sorry for your son's recent exposure to that vileness.

8. "You've got to serve somebody"
Limbaugh appeals to, and encourages, the service of self...the disciples in his church lap it up like holy water.

They should've listened to Dylan.

9. Here's a question which will keep them silent:
What specifically has to occur before the United States can claim a victory on the "War on Terror?"

10. When you are a bunch of draft dodgers
and send other people to do your fighting its easy to support war. Look at chimpy playing with his Saddam souvenir. None of the pentagon brass support $hrub or rumsfuck and their loser war.
