1. I wish the media, whenever talking about Limbaugh

would use the phrase "admitted drug abuser Rush Limbaugh"

[Scurrilous]

2. Rush didn't cross the line...

...he snorted it!

[Balbus]

4. Well done.

:applause:

[Cha]

20. Touche!

limpbaugh is such an Addled druggie.

[izzie]

3. Well Rush is not what one would call a class act.

And for sure Fox is.

[billbuckhead]

6. Did Diebold do the bar chart on ABC's site?

Do they ever make a mistake that's against the reich.

[fob]

9. I saved it as a pdf and when it converted the bar is correct for the

percentages (80% agree limpballs is an asshole), but that doesn't show up on the link.

[Straight Shooter]

5. There is no "line" for a bloviating gasbag hate-mongering Republican pundit.

As for any decent human being, yes, he crossed the line and went waaaay beyond it.

[warrens]

7. That's all Pigboy has to sell

Smear, hate, innuendo, and lies. Olbermann nailed his ass last night.

[Bzzzz]

54. Does anyone have...

the link(Olbermann's)? I would love to see it. Limbaugh is the scum of all scum.

[Initech]

8. This ranks among the worst things that piece of shit has ever said.

Honestly, though, Limbaugh crossed the line along time ago when he started selling "Club Gitmo" merchandise on his website.

[civildisoBDence]

24. Don't forget that Democrats are rooting for more American soldiers to die

Jeebus, what some people will do to make money in this society.

[keta11]

10. Dim-bulb is out of line 100% of the time!

[gratuitous]

11. Why can't Rush pick on someone his own size?

I mean, besides the fact that there's no one quite his size. But do you ever notice that Rush really picks on society's powerless? Whether it's single mothers, people with incurable, progressive diseases, ethnic minorities, or other people without the wherewithal or the power of society behind them?

I think he picked the wrong fight for once, though. He'll either get his pimply ass handed to him by Michael J. Fox, or he'll be groveling out an apology, and blaming everybody except himself for his comments.

[tblue]

29. "It was taken out of context!" "It was just a joke! Ha ha." "It's the liberal media."

[newportdadde]

12. At least trash like Rush never makes it on the Big Three news programs...ow... wait..

Go Katie!

[wakeme2008]

13. Thank you Rush... Millions of people will now see the ad for free

Me thinks you just shot the Repug Party in the foot.... :evilgrin:

[Nite Owl]

it doesn't matter.
