Don Imus and Rush Limbaugh prove thier cowardice and Bias
As if Rush Limbaugh hadn't already proved his cowardice enough with his lies about not being a drug user and drug dealer, now "Fat Boy" Rush is making the laughable assertion that John Kerry was at a anti-war meeting 30 years ago, in which someone suggested killing several US Senators. First of all there is no proof John Kerry was ever even there. Second even the few "Bush butt licking" morons who are claiming he was there, agree that when the suggestion of assassinating US Senators was brought up, Kerry was so horrified, he quit the anti-war group. Either way all this does is prove that Kerry is a decent, rational man who certainly is a patriot and is against insane idea like killing US Senators.

This topic was also brought up by the EXTREMELY stupid Bush "Butt Boy" Don Imus. Imus is a coward and a senile old fart, who claims to support Kerry, but in utter acts of betrayal, continues to attack Kerry on issues no REAL American cares about. Imus also has his head so far up Bush's butt, that he is attacking Richard Clarke for telling the truth about the cowardice and incompetence of the Bush Administration. Imus and Rush are both examples of why "Euthanasia" is a good I dead for some of our more pathetic citizens.

1. Rush has 20 million listeners.
Imus has 10 million. Likely, many of those listen to Rush, also. On the Imus show, they do hear him lob the same line of attack that Rush does. The difference is that Imus has one of the most powerful mainstream Kerry spokespersons, Rep. Harold Ford, on and allows him to slam home the truth. If you step back and try not to have a knee-jerk reaction to this, and understand that Imus is actually attempting and accomplishing to COMMUNICATE with his 10 million listeners the truth that Ford speaks, you will be closer to the truth. Listen: you can't speak French to someone who speaks Latin. You have to speak the language your audience speaks and understands in order to communicate. So Imus isn't going to speak the language of "d.u." on his show, or his audience would turn it off, and listen exclusively to Rush.

3. Thank you.
I probably should say that I am borrowing from a lesson that my Brother Malcolm X taught me years ago. He understood the art of communication. I hope that some of our angrier friends on here will not question his integrity.

4. Not a Malcolm fan.
He did know how to talk to his audience though.

6. It's probably better
not to be a fan of anyone after the teen years. Malcolm often said that if two people think just alike, only one is thinking. Diversity of opinion is a strength. You have an open mind, and that is what is important! I have enjoyed our brief conversation, and hope to talk to you more as the election season continues!
