| Psychopath Registered: Jun. 01  | So, Rush is going completely deaf, huh? This means the only voice he'll hear is his own. Well, isn't that the way it's been for over a decade now? Not to kick someone when they're down, but the irony is just too much to resist. Next thing you know, Howard will drive one of his wack pack into drinking themselves to death, Rocco will do a tasteless stunt in the aftermatch of the WTC attack and -oh, wait a minute... "Perhaps you should try one of our lower-stakes tables?" | ||||

| Psychopath Registered: Jun. 01 | My wife suggested he get TTD lines. It is just really hard to feel bad for him. Perhaps it is his tone (no pun intended) when he revealed he is almost completely deaf. Maybe it is because he has reconciled his emotions before he made the announcement. I can still remember all the lies he spoke about and the horrific sicophants that used to call in (an old boss used to play Rush - I was the captive audience) and help him perpetuate lies and half-truths. Far be it from me to preach morality, but far be it from him too, disability or not. This is ice. It's what happens to water when it gets too cold. This is Kent - this is what happens to to you when you don't get laid. "DON'T TREAD!" | ||||

If he does not correct them he gives tacit approval of all that was just said. I hate Rush and everyone like him that sees every issue in terms of black and white. Things are rarely that simple. I refuse to believe that he believes that all ideas put forth by Democrats are flawed and that every plank on the Republican platform is just. | ||||

| Psychopath Registered: Aug. 01 | I really dislike Rush. He's a character, but his hardcore fans think he's for real. Its not justice that he is going deaf, but it may be justice if he ends up having to rely on some of the social programs for the disabled that he claims to be against. He's rich, so he may not actually have to depend on such programs, he may change his attitudes toward them though. "Somebody took my phone number and called Afghanistan. Afghanistan! I've never talked to anyone in Afghanistan, I don't know nobody in Afghanistan, and even if did know anyone, I wouldn't talk to that Afghan ass for three hours! I won't talk to my daddy for three hours." | ||||

| Psychopath Registered: Aug. 00 | F the S, Rush is just stating his opinion. Just because you don't agree with him, doesn't mean he is lying. He provides evidence for every assertion he makes. Also, he is married to a piece of ass, so he can get laid all he wants. | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: May. 00 | What goes around comes around. Yep it's tragic, but he deserved what he got for making assumptions of minority groups like the one I represent. (*hint*hint*) He can use all the tricks that he wants to, but no one is going to listen to a jock who cant even hear his own callers, let alone interact with them.

| Hanger-On Registered: Jan. 70 | quote: There are so many foolish statements that were made in this thread that can be debated, but this one is true and completely contractdicted the statement that you made a sentence earlier. I think he would probably agree with that. I haven't listened to him in years since I work in an during the day, but I used to listen to him 3 hours a day 5 days a week when I painted houses. He puts on an entertainment show. Some people agree, some people don't, but shitloads listen, more than Stern and O and A combined. Speaking of hipocrasy, I love the people who blast him for telling lies and halftruths, but then they come out and make baseless accusations about him being against social spending for the disabled, making assumptions about minorities, etc. Sycophants call radio shows. Who else but giant fans or idiotic critics would sit on hold for 2 hours to make a one sentence statement. Rush, Stern, O and A, it's all the same when it comes to radio callers.

| Psychopath Registered: Jun. 01 | Ahhh, but the "conservatives" are the "heartless" ones, right? Man alive, the left has had a field day with this announcement. I would hope that some folks might be able to humanize this a little bit and just think about what would happen if you lost something that was a key part of doing something that you had a passion for. Look, obviously Rush isn't a sympathetic character, even if you support what the guy says for the most part, but try to have a smidge of compassion for the guy.  Thank you to all the brave volunteers who brought us all together as a country, and thank you to those of you brave soldiers who will fight and have fought for our country. We are a free people because of your efforts. | ||||

Perhaps I did not compose my statement properly, but I meant to express my amazement at his ability to take pro Republican positions 100% of the time.

| Hanger-On Registered: Jan. 70 | Ken, I'm sorry. I was the one that screwed up when writing. One simple word was screwed up by me. I meant thread and not post. I didn't mean to single out your post at all. Instead of saying "pro-republican", why don't you use "conservative", as the last I heard, he wasn't even a registered republican. But, how does taking conservative stances preclude someone from being a great thinker? Ayn Rand, Adam Smith, Bill Buckley, etc, aren't "great thinkers" becuase they come from the right side? Who are the great thinkers? Ted Kennedy, Bill Clinton, Karl Marx, because they don't take 100% pro-republican stances? I know you didn't say this, but I just find it so funny that people from the left are supposed to be open-minded, tolerant, and caring for their fellow man. Conservatives are supposed to be heartless, opinionated, opressive, etc. Yet it's liberals that somehow get joy when shit like this happens to people on the right. I don't care about Jesse Jackson or Gloria Steinem but if they all of a sudden were stricken with soem disease, I wouldn't celebrate it. Why are people who hate his politics happy about some personal tragedy that's struck him? The hipocrisy is amazing... This message was edited by OAAWITE on 3-15-02 @ 12:39 PM | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Sep. 00 | I'm still waiting for someone to tell me what lies he's said. All I've read is how much the left wing HATES him. Not for his lies, but for his views. Anthony is slightly to the right of Rush. Do you hate Anthony? | ||||

| Psychopath Registered: Aug. 01 | Rush doesn't tell lies. He does only provide on side of an issue though. That's his right (pun), because its his show. He's well read, and knows what he is talking about, most of the time. I disagree w/ about 99% of what he says, but the guy is entertaining. I don't take what Rush says seriously, and I get the feeling he doesn't either. When Clinton was elected in '92, Rush had an "America Held Hostage", day -- sign. Thats fucking funny, I hope Rush stays on. Also, I am a liberal, but thats not why I think Rush losing his hearing is funny. Its funny because a pompus windbag radio host can't hear no more, THATS funny.quote: I wouldn't necessarily agree with that. Ant seems to be open minded to some social issues, Rush is to the right on everything. "Somebody took my phone number and called Afghanistan. Afghanistan! I've never talked to anyone in Afghanistan, I don't know nobody in Afghanistan, and even if did know anyone, I wouldn't talk to that Afghan ass for three hours! I won't talk to my daddy for three hours." | ||||

| Hanger-On Registered: Jan. 70 | quote: Well, when you put it that way, yeah that is pretty funny. While I don't listen to Rush anymore (I would if I wasn't working), I have definately listened to him enough to consider myself a fan. He'll keep doing it. He loves it, and he's great at it. The guy has gone completely deaf in 3 months, and hasn't bitched about it at all. Even as he was admitting it, he was just stating what was going on and not looking for any sympathy. That's something to appreciate. Like the politics or not. This message was edited by OAAWITE on 3-15-02 @ 12:39 PM | ||||

| Psychopath Registered: Jun. 01 | OAAWHITE, I can appreciate your opinion. One of the posts that identified the situation as a "pompous radio host losing his hearing" as funny is really what I was getting at. 1. I did not mean to make fun of a person losing their hearing... I think that is sad, no matter what I think of his views. 2. I believe conservatives/Republicans should speak their mind- it is what this country is based on. 3. I am taking a class on gov't and politics this semester, and my views are changing from liveral/Democrat to independant, so I respect the opinion of others. 4. The lies were mostly skewed facts, depicted in Al Franken's book, Rush Limbaugh is a Big, Fat Idiot, which I did read and enjoy. His fact-checker was the one really put on trial in that book. 5. I like the fact that, for the first time in months, a thread of my origin has gotten legs. 6. IkeaBoy, I am sorry I ever challenged you in "Fight Club. Please forgive me, because I respect your opinions. 7. I think a person like Rush should be out there, and think Anthony's conservative/right stance is valid, even if I do not agree with everyting he has said. But it is ironic, as long as you consider Rush the "character," not being able to hear any voice except his own. [innappropriate bell] ding, ding [/innappropriate bell] This is ice. It's what happens to water when it gets too cold. This is Kent - this is what happens to to you when you don't get laid. "DON'T TREAD!" | ||||

| Hanger-On Registered: Jan. 70 | Not gonna debate the irony of the situation becuase it IS funny in that way. I was only pointing out the other irony that I've seen in the situation. That liberals are known for being the ones that are tolerant of other views, open-minded, forgiving, sugar and spice and everything nice, etc. Yet there are so many of them who are openly saying that they feel no sympathy for the guy becuase they disagree with his politics. Like they're happy about it for some reason. Ponderous man, F'n ponderous. And if you want to get another topic with legs, something about disliking Norton like me or complaining about your status like RottenVinny. Luckily, I escaped the "This is why I hate Norton" post with only minor lacerations and fractures. Vinny, on the other hand is knee-deep in burning tar.

| Psychopath Registered: Jun. 01 | Since I am too ignorant to get a sig pic, and used to have "admitted complete tool" at the bottom of my posts, I don't mind my status. As for Norton, I am on the opposite side of the fence on that one... I have sounded off in the upteen different threads on that several times since he started having a larger role on the show since June. And, yeah, the fact that "liberals" are enjoying Rush's pain is hipocrasy, but so is having an across-the-board stand in modern political times. I never wished for Rush to slip in a puddle of AIDS or anything like that, but I felt his venom was creating far too many neo-conservatives out there, and they might one day vote for an incompetant Republican candidate that makes Dan Quayle look like an f'en genious just to vote against a Democrat -oh, wait a minute... that's another thread in and of itself. ;) This is ice.

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Aug. 01 | quote: Because I think his show is an hours long infomercial for the Republican party. Republican good Democrat bad from start to finish. quote: I think anyone who merely spouts rhetoric and the party line 100% of the time is not a great thinker. I would be inclined to believe that they did not come to these conclusions from their own deductive reasoning but rather they are marching to the tune of the drummer. That goes for Liberals, Conservatives, Religious people, all walks of life. quote: I don't think I spoke one word of joy on his condition. But I do hate hypocrisy too. On both sides of the Congressional aisle. Clinton not inhaling was an 8 yr. issue to many conservatives, whom have not said word one about Bush's alchohol and cocaine problems, nor his daughters repeated offenses. I vote Democrat, I have liberal tendancies but I will be damned if I think they are right all the time or that no good ideas can come from a Republican. Like most Americans I think I like a healthy balance between the two. | ||||
