James O'Keefe is directly responsible for shutting down a large organization that helped underprivileged people gain access to healthcare, voting rights, and other basic human rights. He can be shot and killed in the Mexican desert for all I care.

It's not hard to have a lot of influence if you're even barely charismatic and willing to tell despicable untruths on behalf of wealthy donors. The tricky thing is wielding power while maintaining your integrity.

From all the stuff I've read about the decline of right-wing talk radio, people forgot that part of why Rush was popular is that he knew his radio stuff. When clones started popping up, they only looked at the right-wing part and not the know how to entertain on radio part.

Yes.

Rush Limbaugh isn't popular because he has right wing politics (though that certainly helps), he became popular because he's good at hosting a radio program.

Very much in the same way Howard Stern made millions off of making dirty jokes on the radio, Rush Limbaugh knew how to do the same thing, but with saying terrible opinions.

Statement of the Ambassador of the Czech Republic on the Boston terrorist attack

19.04.2013 / 21:27

As many I was deeply shocked by the tragedy that occurred in Boston earlier this month. It was a stark reminder of the fact that any of us could be a victim of senseless violence anywhere at any moment.

As more information on the origin of the alleged perpetrators is coming to light, I am concerned to note in the social media a most unfortunate misunderstanding in this respect. The Czech Republic and Chechnya are two very different entities - the Czech Republic is a Central European country; Chechnya is a part of the Russian Federation.

As the President of the Czech Republic Miloš Zeman noted in his message to President Obama, the Czech Republic is an active and reliable partner of the United States in the fight against terrorism. We are determined to stand side by side with our allies in this respect, there is no doubt about that.

I just saw Neil loving Cavuto rambling on about three groups of rich people that refused to leave any sort of inheritance for their children and how "THEY'RE DOING EVERYTHING RIGHT"

He then went on a rant against his own children about how he was never going to leave them a single thing, and then followed it up by saying "JUST BE LUCKY YOU DON'T HAVE TO PAY THE BILL FOR YOUR MOM AND DAD'S LAST CRUISE" (implying you know...when they're near death).

...

The epitome of "gently caress you, got mine" right there.

Look, I understand not wanting to create the next generation of Paris Hilton and Kim Kardashians of the world, but at the same time, I just fail to see why you would remotely treat your own children like that, and encourage others to do the same.

So let me get this straight Neil, if your kids are in their 20's, and are dying of cancer some place, you are not going to help them? That money is all yours right?

Why are you encouraging your viewers to do the same here? It's not like Joe "Middle Class Republican" is going to create and breed some brand of monster akin to Kim Kardashian with their "meh" job?

Those kids get their maximum tax-free gift every year, plus school, car, medical, apartment, etc. and will for as long as they live. The Cavuto children have every advantage money can possibly buy, they will go to the best private schools, they will take a gap year somewhere resume-building, and they will bootstrap themselves into nice internships that are only available to people who can afford an apartment in the city on no income, with people who know dad. They aren't filling out FAFSA forms, or taking their gen. ed. courses at community college.

There is a pretty good argument for not letting your kids believe there is so much money in the trust that they can snort till their septums fall out, but they aren't growing up hard.

Right, but why it's puzzling is why he's kind of lecturing an audience that really doesn't remotely fit the aforementioned profile.

It makes sense for him to say it to his kids. Less so to go to Joe Middle Class, and tell him not to leave his kids a single thing on the estate.
