Hieronymous Alloy posted:That's actually frightening on multiple levels; Rush is setting up the argument that the default will be Obama's fault when it happens, because he could have just chosen to pay the interest and shut down everything else. And you were expecting what exactly? Anyone who's still listening to Rush in earnest could be convinced Obama is the reason the fireball in the sky forsakes us for 12 hours a day. The fact that he's gone through the trouble of making up a half assed explanation shouldn't scare you any more than the fact that he could've just said it with no explanation and convinced just as many people.

Miltank posted:Fingers crossed for the stroke, but why would you want him to die? I want Limbaugh to live another ten years or so getting spit wiped off of his bib by a mexican nurse. For real I hope he and FOX news and the rest of the echo chamber never change. And to be fair Rush is a genius when you read those things. I don't get angry its absolutely amazing, the projection, the stealing of your own arguments, the everything. I may not agree with the message but I can appreciate a good scam when it's happening.

Regarding the anti-snopes stuff: Snopes is also an enticing thing to debunk. Its a seeming harmless website that a lot of people are willing to trust unconditionally and so proving they have sinister ulterior motives means that you get a leg up on the sheeple.

"I can't get cast in anything anymore so I'm going to use this opportunity to criticize liberals and blame that on the fact that I'm a has-been" is starting to become a trend since Rob Schneider said something similar. Schneider's case is more believable since all he would have to do is say something that offends Adam Sandler directly.

James is really into the Tea Party narrative - but he was always a paranoid guy - I heard that when they filmed VIdeodrome he freaked out and refused to wear an electronic helmet for one scene. It wasn't clear if he was just in character or really freaked out.

He's being a bit of a drama queen about it. Surely if his political opinions were hurting him Seth MacFarlane would've quit using him as a voiceover actor ages ago.Business Gorillas posted:I really hope this is going to be a thing now for has-been actors and they become big again.

mr. mephistopheles posted:Dennis Miller and a caller agreed Obama "acts like a spoiled rich kid" and followed that by saying Romney did not get a fair shake in the election because the media hid information about Obamacare because the entire bill wasn't publicly available or anything. The entire bill was online and available to anyone who wanted to read it. How else are the Tea Party types who say it's Socialism and call into these shows claiming to be the only ones who understand what's in it supposed to have read it? Also, Dennis Miller has a radio show now or was he a guest on another show? quote:RUSH: Joe, can I ask you a question?

To save America from tyranny and poo poo. The real answer is there's more money to be made by running his big, fat stupid mouth (see Palin, Sarah) and writing retarded books. It's also the reason he never invites guests on his show. He knows he's full of poo poo and doesn't want a challenge, much like a sports-talk radio host who thinks they know how better how to coach the Philadelphia Eagles and what play should have run on 3rd and 5 in the 2nd quarter. That's all Rush is, really. I wonder how that caller got through the screeners?

If he sat in a house chair he would either have to capitulate to get things done, forcing his drones to turn on master and label him a RINO or rail against everything until it seizes up the entire process a la the suicide caucus. Which buys short term fame but only guarantees that long run you are political kryptonite and will die poor and with a legacy that could be summed up as "Stubborn stupid rear end in a top hat". Its much easier to rant on the radio and be rich with zero accountability.

Yes, Rush. The media have 'defined' conservatism as being racist and bigoted. When in fact it's totally not true at all about how conservatives want all parts of society to revert to earlier times when racism and bigotry were not only allowed but encouraged. There's literally no connection between 'conservatism' and the ideas that african-americans should be referred to as 'feral thugs', or that homosexuality is morally repugnant, or that women (I'm sorry 'media-babes' as you refer to them) are less professional then men. No, there's sincerely no correlation there. The media has manufactured all of this. The truth is that if a transgendered black person from the future were to visit modern-day earth and not be exposed to mass media, what they'd find is that they were most welcomed by dyed in the wool southern conservatives.

RWW posted:Warning that if people don't forcefully assert that their rights come from God, then the government can take them away, Beck explained that the Founding Fathers created the Bill of Rights in order to prevent the government from ever infringing on the God-given inalienable rights of the citizens. What. In. The. gently caress. I don't think a tyrannical, atheist government really puts much stock in my assertion that my rights come from Sky Goku and thus cannot be altered. But the second point wisely knew the first one was bullshit, and so created the Bill of Rights to give those rights a bit of substance and backing. The third point went right the hell back to Crazytown and argued that the government codified these rights in order to prevent them from ever being the property of the state? This man is not talking. He is singing in a language beyond my grasp.
