No idea what they're saying, but I feel it bro.

The first one is comparing the preciousness of Iraq's soil to a very expensive form of incense, I don't remember what the last one is about.

[Kowani]

Even though politically, personally can’t agree with him on everything

Show me one statement there that is wrong. Fluke literally demanded the government pay for her contraception because she had so much sex that she couldn't pay twenty bucks at a Wal-Mart.

SLUT. Noun.
A promiscuous person : someone who has many sexual partners —usually used of a woman.

She wanted to have her contraceptives subsidized, meaning, indirectly, that Uncle Sam is her pimp, subsidizing her sex life. That is exactly what Rush Limbaugh said it was.

-and there are a lot worse things that can be said about Fluke. Her actions were the most vile, textbook case of political stereotypes I knew of at the time.

when you strip away the pretensions, conservatism always falls back on the same points

1. You misspelled right.


2. I believe you know what Nazism when you stop describing everyone you dislike and who is vaguely right-wing as a Nazi. 3. As it stands, you have some of the most catastrophically bad hot takes I've seen anywhere outside the comments of Boomers on FB.

1. I bet it took you a whole 5 seconds to come up with that.
2. Ah look, another wrong opinion, why am I not surprised?
3. Coming from a Jewish Woman who supports the US right? Yeah, sure, ok.

...how is being jewish relevant at all-

George W. Bush: Rush Limbaugh 'Was Friend Throughout My Presidency'

https://www.newsmax.com/us/obituary-rea ... d/1010423/

As a Proud Republican, I Post this Post on behalf of Republican President George W Bush:

"Laura and I are sorry to learn that Rush Limbaugh has passed away. A son of Cape Girardeau, Missouri, Rush rose as a pioneer of talk radio starting in the 1980s, and was a friend throughout my presidency. While he was brash, at times controversial, and always opinionated, he spoke his mind as a voice for millions of Americans and approached each day with gusto."

GMS.

We might wanna consider adding Newsmax to the list of banned sites

All of the supposedly horrible and terrible things Rush Limbaugh said, what people who're against Rush need to understand about Rush's audience is that for them, he was speaking the truth like it or not. They certainly wouldn't bat an eye to what was said. Once again, its the feature and nothing to feel any shame about.

I understand that to them he spoke truth, or whatever the fuck that was he spoke. But to others, he was vile and his words caused them trouble (to some I’m sure). That’s why he is disliked and why some may feel no sadness at his passing.

Alright, so I'm going to tackle this because I actually remember hearing these remarks around the time that they were made. Whatever your opinion on medical coverage of contraception, we ought to discuss actual facts and engage with actual presented arguments. Sandra Fluke mentioned that 40% of women enrolled at Georgetown Law School experienced financial difficulties as a result of contraception not being covered and, anecdotally, that one of her friends, who suffered from Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, required hormonal contraception to treat the condition, which can lead to the development of ovarian cysts. I feel like the last part of this is especially important to what Fluke had to say on the issue.

W gets down on his knees every day and says "thank you Lord for Donald Trump, now I'm not the worst president ever." His opinon on Limbaugh is as deep as his portrait of Putin and worth half as much.

Does no one remember the US right's response to things like Germany trying to kick out the Jews during the Nazi Era, or their general theme of domestic anti-Semitism? (Like Trump's declaration of limiting refugees and asylum seekers on the day of remembrance that lead to the US' choosing to become the largest port of refugees in the world? Or Trump supporters marching in Charlottesville chanting "Jews will not replace us!" and "Blood and Soil!")

Or did we just happen to forget that little facet of the Republican Party because of the insanity that was the past 4 years? I wouldn't blame you, but seriously, it's not like they've tried to hide it.

It isn't if you just want to call any woman who has had a sexual experience before marriage a slut and call it a day.

She wanted to have her contraceptives subsidized, meaning, indirectly, that Uncle Sam is her pimp, subsidizing her sex life. That is exactly what Rush Limbaugh said it was.

This is basically disproved just by looking at the transcript of her speech, which addresses how this is an issue that countless women face, even married couples and an infertile lesbian woman with polycystic ovarian syndrome. At no point did Fluke demand contraceptive just for herself because she couldn't afford to have sex.

You might respond that contraception is accessible in lots of other ways. Unfortunately, that’s not true. Women’s healthclinics provide vital medical services, but as the Guttmacher Institute has documented, clinics are unable to meet the crushing demand for these services. Clinics are closing and women are being forced to go without.

-and there are a lot worse things that can be said about Fluke. Her actions were the most vile, textbook case of political stereotypes I knew of at the time.

Accusing someone else of this while defending Rush Limbaugh is whew.

They certainly wouldn't bat an eye to what was said. Once again, its the feature and nothing to feel any shame about. Rightists fundamentally think and feel differently on the issues than Liberals.

Racism is truth, ignorance is a feature, apathy is strength.

(Like Trump's declaration of limiting refugees and asylum seekers on the day of remembrance that lead to the US' choosing to become the largest port of refugees in the world?)

Do you mean the US's response more generally? I'm well aware of how that transpired and the costs in human lives. I'm also aware of policies on refugees at present and have expressed my own opinions on both those and the matter of Antisemitism in previous conversations. None of that is really relevant to the conversation we're having at the moment though. I'll ask you again to define Nazism if you're going to bandy about the word any time you feel you can do it without being challenged on it.

I will tell you that, as a Jewish person, I really don't feel too safe in any crowd of political radicals - whether left-wing or right-wing. I've had to argue with left-wingers about as much as right-wingers about how, maybe, we shouldn't be accosting Jewish people and throwing around Antisemitic canards.

We strongly disagree, by we I mean the millions of US, Proud Republican Trump Supporters, Pro, USA, USA, USA, American Patriot Citizens of The USA, With Pride and Honor.

We also Honor Conservative Republican Commentator Rush Limbaugh - As I have Posted twice now, first my personal post and honor on behalf of Republican President Donald J Trump of The USA of America and then on behalf of Republican President George W Bush and First Republican Lady Laura Bush of The USA of America.

I have been thinking of adding a few other honors on behalf of a few others, I might do so yet.

Republican President Donald J Trump of The USA and Republican President Ronald Reagan, The original Make America Great Again President, are the Greatest American Presidents, of The USA - of America Ever.

I love the cool way the play on words, USA of America sounds.

Nazism, also known as National Socialism (Despite not being socialist), is a form of fascism characterized by totalitarianism, extreme nationalism, scientific racism and anti-Semitism, scientific racism and sexism as well as eugenics.

Is there anything else you'd like to know or are you willing to admit that you're incorrect in your assumptions and claims towards me?

[The Exarchate of the West]

The last conservative talk radio host to die before Rush Limbaugh was Jerry Doyle aka Mr. Garibaldi from Babylon 5 (who I wasn't even aware had a radio program until after he died a few years ago from being a heavy drinker).

Rush Limbaugh... The only other conservative talk radio personality that I can compare him to is Paul Harvey in terms of how influential he's been.
