Somewhere a child is learning that ad hominem attacks are poor substitutes for a persuasive arguments based on logic, reason and facts.

Limbaugh does what Limbaugh does. His salary is based on the fact that he is the best at what he does, based on the revenue he generates, he certainly deserves it 50 million.
I’m not saying that it is actually Limbaugh who is exploiting this tragedy for free publicity in order to maintain his $50M annual salary.
First it’s not exploitation; it’s a consequence of his high ratings, which folks like you make possible.
Second, you may find it deplorable that he is accusing the president of using a tragedy for political gain, but the fact is if the president can use it to his advantage, he will. What about this person would make me believe otherwise?
Obama didn’t engineer this tragedy, he didn’t wish for this tragedy to happen, however if you think the Whitehouse think-tank which includes the president himself isn’t considering all the political angles involved and how best to use them, then I have a bridge in Brooklyn for sale that you may be interested in. That’s Chicago style hardball politics, it ain’t pretty, I find it loathsome myself, but its reality, politicians do/say/think politics 24/7.
Limbaugh calls them just like he sees them, and he makes a lot of money doing it with talent on loan from God, I call them as I see them too, and sometimes it gets me in trouble; and I doubt God is involved at all.

Beksbks / Bizzbee,
In truth, I just don’t think you are able to understand. I don’t mean that as an insult in any way, just an observation. It has nothing to do with intelligence but with your experience and current worldview.
As for Rush Limbaugh, when I say he likes to tweak, I mean he likes to agitate, piss-off, disturb, annoy etc., and his audience is not his target at all. His audience is not tweaked, they largely agree with much of what he has to say, it’s the media and those of a staunchly liberal mindset that he tweaks, and quite well I might add. Since his last tweak, he has had several media outlets talking about him non-stop (free publicity for his show). People get curious, they tune in to his show, his ratings go sky-high and he get’s to have a 50 million dollar a year salary.
Rush wins.
Here is a quick quiz.
Which of these statements are the most racist?
a.) Black people commit substantiality more crimes then white people.
b.) Black girls have substantiality more illegitimate children then white girls.
c.) Black men abandon their own children at a substantiality higher rate then white men do.
Answer: None of the above are racist statements at all. In fact they are 100% true.
He uses stuff like this all the time to trip people up; he knows which buttons to push!
Get the point; he is a master at this, and you are playing his game on his turf. No disrespect meant, but most people of a liberal persuasion are simply outgunned.
Freeman (who understands the cunning of Rush Limbaugh well)

I can’t believe how you guys just swallow the bait like you do, no questions asked. This guy (Limbaugh) crafts his comments using Harry Reid’s words as a tweak of the main-street media and anyone else who happens to fall for his trick. If you heard his program you would have heard the announcer say before the commercial “Rush Limbaugh, doesn’t speak with a Missouri dialect, unless he wanted to have one is a parody and tweek of the Ried comment that president Obama “doesn’t speak with a negro dialect, unless he wanted to have one”. You are being baited, setup, and only making him more powerful and giving him a bigger platform and subsequently putting more money in his pocket; is that what you really want to do?
Be skeptical when Limbaugh seems to be saying something blatantly (in your mind) racist, chances are you are being tricked.
If you think he is a genuine bigot, you don’t know the man at all, just the persona he projects to tweek some people with.

The serpent (Pat Robertson) speaks!
by Nathan Natas inpat robertson blames haiti earthquake on pact with the devil.

"true story," pat said.

True story:
When my wife and I were first married we lived in a basement apartment, the home being owned by folks from Haiti. They had a chicken that ran around the yard and one day, (after New-years) it just disappeared. We asked the landlord’s daughter what happened to your little chicken, we don’t see him anymore. She said “we gave him to God”.
Chicken sacrifice?
I don’t like to take sides but maybe just maybe Pat Robertson was on to something. Apparently God is not happy with that type of sacrifice. “Ye shall have no chickens before me, neither extra-crispy nor original recipe” Colonel Sanders 3:12.
I know, I’m going to hell for this

Ever experienced a "glitch in the matrix"?
by HintOfLime intoday, for about two hours, i was scratching my head over one of those simple, but (at the time) completely unexplainable events.. a few days ago, i needed a sharpie, i had just bought a pack of 4 of them a few months back, and inevitably, they have all disappeared.
i never found one.. today, around noon, i was reading a textbook (molecular & cell biology for dummies), and took out my notebook to jot some notes down that i knew i'd forget.
i opened my desk drawer, and pulled out a pen - the only pen i keep in the desk drawer (along with a slide rule, 'pink pearl' eraser, and a 3.5" diskette even though i don't own any computer with a 3.5" drive anymore.

When an allegation of molestation is made, the first thing elders are instructed to do is contact the legal department of the watchtower. That is the standing instruction as of today 9/24/2009. IMHO you don’t need to know another thing about the watchtower organization or their beliefs, this one fact broadcasts loud and clear their true colors and agenda.

OK, I’ll play this JW game, let me list a few of the Pros and the Cons and see what we get:
- You gain the advantage of not being addicted to nicotine as a cigarette smoker J
- Only to lose the pleasure of smoking a truly good premium cigar when your brother-in-law surprises you with an unexpected gift of fine Cuban’s as a not-a-birthday-gift. L
- You gain the joy of knowing that soon the earth will be filled only with Jehovah’s clean and righteous people. J
- You lose all that joy as you contemplate what it will be like living in a world full of self-righteous, fault finding snobs like yourself for all eternity. L
- We have the assurance of eternal life for all who are saved J
- You have no assurance whatsoever that you may be among the saved ones, and you feel guilty that you just don’t do enough; you will be bird-food at Armageddon. J
Strange Game…. The only winning move in this JW game is not to play.
How about a nice game of chess?

Jeff,
It’s nice to see some like Serena are able to leverage their fame and fortune in such a way so that they can defy the Borg on a regular basis. I know the Brooklyn puppet masters just cringe every time she wraps herself in an American flag, flashes a little cleavage, or in her latest adventure, tells the ref to jam it. I love the fact that she allows herself to have an occasional human moment, and they can’t do a thing about it!
