Limbaugh Logic 101

[ComerPerro]

Wrap your head around this one:

According to Rush, it is certain that humans are not responsible for Global Warming, Climate Change, or damage to the environment or Ozone Layer.

His proof?

A simple exercise in logic.

He says that he heard that the current trends like Global Warming and various other devistation cannot be reversed, cannot be stopped.

Therefore, says Rush, it is obvious that it was not caused by man.

If we had started it, we would be able to stop it.

So, since we aren't able to stop it, we didn't start it.


:wtf:

[DS1]

1. If he'd only prove his theory by jumping off a cliff, and demonstrating

the decision to stop his fall.

[DRoseDARs]

2. lol That's the perfect rebuttal!

Nice. :thumbsup:

[ComerPerro]

3. Or, lets say someone up and started a war

Couldn't they, by Limbaugh's reasoning, stop it at any time?

If we, as Bush contends, can't just end this war, then doesn't that indicate that this war was not started by man?

[hiaasenrocks]

15. Oops. That's close to my "cliff" response, but I didn't

see yours first. :)

16. GMTA

I should read more thoroughly before posting. :shrug:

[ET Awful]

4. So, by his theory, you should be able to stop a nuclear reaction

such as that caused by an atomic weapon. Correct?

[ComerPerro]

5. Any chemical reaction, I was thinking

[GrpCaptMandrake]

7. As long as it's not

the chemical reaction that gives Phlush that "refreshing burst of flavor" every time he chews up a handful of Hillbilly Heroin.

[edbermac]

6. The words Limbaugh and Logic do not go together.

:patriot:

[ComerPerro]

9. Yeah, he proved that quite nicely

[LiberalPersona]

8. Amazing logic

So does that mean that if shoot a gun, I can stop the bullet in midair?

[ComerPerro]

11. He can stop the bullet from firing. The process can be stopped at any time

According to Rush

10. Limbaugh Logic?

sounds like an oxymoran to me.

[ComerPerro]

12. An oxymoron, brought to you by OxyContin

[hiaasenrocks]

13. Holy shit, I heard another RW'er use that argument

a few weeks ago. Maybe he got it from Rush, who knows.

I put my car in neutral and lock the doors, then push it toward a cliff. Since there's no way for me to stop it, I didn't create the problem! :)

[ComerPerro]

17. cut your brake lines and then push it down a hill, toward a cliff

then climb in.

You can't stop it, so therefore its not a problem you created.

LOL

[TahitiNut]

14. So, let's have him jump off a tall building ... and then stop.

What a freaking rushhole.

[Orrex]

18. Oh! Now I understand

So if I push Rush off of a tall building when no one else is around, and his fatal fall can't be stopped, I'm not at fault?

What a relief!

[ComerPerro]

19. The fall killed him. And he fell because of gravity.

If you had the capacity to kill him in that manner, you therefore would also have the capacity to prevent him from dying. But, since you can't stop the fall from killing him, then you aren't really to blame, are you?

[Ganja Ninja]

20. But it's not the fall that'll kill him, it's the sudden stop when ...

he hits the ground like a big wet cow pie. Therefore who ever put the ground there is at fault.
:silly:

[A Simple Game]

24. Rush would say the ground was there because God put it there.

Therefor whoever dies by impacting the ground, was killed by God!

[maxrandb]

21. I loved when he compared the melting polar ice caps

to ice cubes in your glass. "See, when the ice melts in your glass, it doesn't flood over the top".

I could just picture all the Freeptards sitting out in front of the double-wide watching their ice cubes melt.

Now, if you more accurately were to pile up your ice cubes in your glass so that they stick up over the rim like the polar caps do, I'd think you'd get a different result.

[TrogL]

22. I can start a house fire with a match

It's beyond my capability to stop it beyond a certain point.

23. Rush Limbaugh isn't exactly a genius when it comes to environmental issues

Consider his comments about an oil tanker that sank off of the coast of Spain a few years back:

Listen to this, I’m just reading this story here about this oil tanker that’s doomed—split in half—and sunk off the coast of Spain. Listen—listen to this: (reads from a news account) ‘An environmentalist warned that the wreckage would be like a time bomb on the ocean floor, some 11,800 feet down.’ See, some of the oil tanks in this tanker are intact, not all of the oil has spilled. But it might! Oh, it might! We’re all going to die! Baah hah hah! I mean, this is what they’re trying to ferment on everybody. So, ok: what became of the oil in the Titanic? What became of th—I mean, that was down 12,000 uh, 14,000 feet. Who died from the oil in the Titanic? It wasn’t in port—I mean, there’s still a lot of fuel oil on board. You know wha—wha—I would guarantee you that if those oil tanks leak open or whatever, the—the—the ocean 12,000 feet deep’s gonna eat that oil so fast it’ll never reach the surface, and if it does it’ll reach the surface in drops! Ahhh, it gets tiresome, you know, I—I know the nature of the program is cyclical, but this is how the liberals do it—they just keep pounding us, they just keep coming back with this stuff more and more and they wear people out."

Only the problem was that the Titanic was fuel by coal

25. Actually, I read that the Titanic was propelled by nuclear power

LMAO
