Khalid Sheikh Mohammed was waterboarded and he was one of the key architects of the 9/11 attack.  You don't think he is guilty?  Are you kidding me?

This man plotted and planned an attack on American soil that killed thousands of Americans and you don't think he should have been waterboarded? 

You tell me this.....how many detainees were actually subjected to waterboarding....other than Khalid Mohammed that is.  Did we do it to every single detainee.  Do you even realize that these detainees, a lot of them, were turned in by other people in their country or caught as a direct result of interrogating other detainees. 

The last time I checked, Khalid Mohammed still has his head attached to his body....which is more than I can say for Jack Hensley, Nicholas Berg and any other American who had their head cut off.  It wasn't a swift cutting off either.  I don't know if anyone here has seen the video of one of the beheadings but I had the misfortune of seeing one on the internet and it is an image that haunts me to this day.  They basically grabbed him by his head, took a big knife and cut all the way around his neck, and then literally had to start sawing at his neck to get his head the rest of the way off. It took quite a while to accomplish the whole thing.  When it was done, they threw the guy's head on his body and started cheering. 

I have no compassion for terrorists and I think it is sad that some of you people do.  They are ruthless people whose only desire is to rid the world of infidels....that includes you, JTBB.  Yes, you.  They want you dead and you want them treated fairly. 

he said, she said, dem said, pub said.  What difference does it make?  Fix the problem.  I don't believe the dems are anymore at fault for this than the pubs.  If anything, I blame Bush and not because he's a pub but because he was supposed to be our leader.  If he thought this was an issue, why didn't he press it?  Oh, because someone told him it wasn't.  Since when does he listen to anyone, and especially the dems. 

President Theodore Roosevelt, 1918:  To announce that there must be no criticism of the president, or that we are to stand by the president, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.

Senator Robert A. Taft (also known as Mr. Republican), 1941 (after Pearl Harbor):  I believe that there can be no doubt that criticism in time of war is essential to the maintenance of any kind of democratic government..... Too many people desire to suppress criticism simply because they think it will give some comfort to the enemy.... If that comfort makes the enemy feel better for a few moments, they are welcome to it as far as I am concerned because the maintenance of the right of criticism in the long run will do the country more good than it will do the enemy, and it will prevent mistakes which might otherwise occur.

I think everyone knows that he had prescriptions from more than a couple of docs.

No one on your side of the fence has answered my question posed above. If MJF had aired an ad against stem cell research, would you have had the same reaction? Would Rush have had the same reaction? I think not. I think you would have applauded him for his courage and his willingness to do such a thing especially in light of the seriousness of his disease.  Another question, what do you think about Nancy Reagan and her son Ron being pro stem cell research openly?

What an evil, hateful, intolerant, ignorant person, but that explains the following he has with some on these boards.  Birds of a feather stay together.  Maybe it makes them feel more powerful somehow.  If they weren't so hateful, I might even feel sorry for some of these poor misguided souls. 

There seems to be an increasing movement of hate and intolerance in this country, wrapped around the Bible and the flag, neither of which is undeserving of such sacrilage by people who claim to love God and country. 

It's becoming scarier every day to be an American who (1) might not belong to the "right" religion (no pun intended), (2) who thinks that Bush is taking us backwards in time, and (3) who supports our troops by wanting them to come home to their families safe, alive and intact, and to only be used when absolutely necessary, not at the whim of a president who has lies and who can't be trusted.

Who said anything about Jesus?  Maybe I'm a Jew! 

If you go to Rush's w/s, you'll see his "official Obama criticizer," aka "Bo Snerdley."

And speaking of the Jews, it was a Dem. strategist who made the comment in FL that the Jews wouldn't vote for a black man.  That may well be on Rush's w/s as well.  Even Rush hadn't heard that one.

Y'all just make this way TOO easy  too much fun for me!

If you actually studied this stuff you'd know what you're talking about.  Even Greta played the soundbyte of what he said.  It was printed on his web page, and is probably still there. 

I don't have time to get into having studied this literally all my life.

Regardless, if you think that having a Socialist in the White House is the answer and that border security means nothing, then vote away for one.  Ironically, the person who wrote the book "Real Change" before Obama picked it up as his buzz word was Newt Gingrich.  You may have no idea who he even is.

Try looking at JusticeOnTheBorder.com or EyesOnTheBorder.com if you want to compare what Obama & Clinton said about opening our flood gates even more as they pandered to all the illegals. 

You probably also had no idea that he has over 20 million listeners daily.  Literally nobody can touch him.  When you're on top, they always try to topple you. 

Rush is NO racist.  Even so, there's no law against it, whether it be black against white, white against black, etc.

I can't even believe when read things like this. 

Have a nice day.

Did anyone hear R. Limbaugh's comments?  I only caught part of it, but it sounded like he was talking about liberals as though we are satan or something.  "You can't let them do this, or you can't let them do that".  All the time saying "them" like it's a dirty word.  Years ago I used to like him.  Now he disgusts me.   Now more than ever do we need a democrat president - just so I can see their faces and hear them whine.....oh wouldn't that be good.

no meaningful dialogue, just name-calling. 

hero of the great unwashed said SP was a "babe", "could wear a skirt", had "definable ankles."   I thought sexism was sexism whether complementary or derogatory.  I'll know more after my bath.

There Is No Crisis--Summary by: Chris BowersTue Sep 23, 2008 at 16:22

Things are getting a little suspicious about this crisis.

1) Why did the Bush administration suddenly declare a crisis during the final two weeks when Congress would be in session during his presidency? Is it maybe because, after the election, Congress would know it wasn't dealing with Bush anymore?

2) If this is such a sudden crisis, why is it that the Bush administration was drawing up the plan for this bill for months beforehand?

3) Why is it that Congress is supposed to bail out many banks and firms that are actually quite successful and profitable right now, and not just those that are failing?

4) Why is Paulson blatantly lying to Congress about oversight?

5) Where did the $700 billion figure come from?

6) Why is Paulson urging that debate on the matter be held after the legislation is passed?The burden of proof should always be placed on those who are demanding a huge government bailout, not upon those who are skeptical that one is needed. And yet the questions keep mounting, with no answers in sight.

I am not saying that there is no need for government intervention. I am saying that the case for a $700 billion bailout is far from having been made. Until the case is made, there is no need to go forward. We will elect a new President in 42 days. We swear in a new Congress in 103 days. What is the rush? Why does this all of a sudden need to be done while the Bush administration is still in charge? The case hasn't been made, and answers are slow in coming, if they come at all. Chris Bowers :: There Is No Crisis--Summary

The whole point of his show is to create controversy.  Rush isn't just to the right....he's beyond right field.  So, Gingrey had to grovel and apologize to Rush because he disagreed with him and ticked off his *base.*  So, now we know who the *base* is.  I was actually expecting that, and I personally hope it stays that way.  It makes it easier for dems to win elections. 

The funny thing to me is that Obama just mentioned Rush's name in what I took to be a joke.  The pub party is so desparate for leadership that they took it to heart and managed to elevate Rush to a position of supposed power.  Good luck defending Rush's background.....the drugs, the comments, etc.....ROFL.

Unless I missed something, I find it unbelievable that so many here either missed Rush on Saturday at CPAC.  FNC ran it.  I found out (as did Rush) that CNN streamed it, as did CSPAN.  While I haven't looked any other places for what I've heard (and have known for years), Townhall.com has a plenty there. 

Of course, the drivebys will still try to miss the boat on who conservatives are, either by stupidity or by wanting us to (continue to) appear as something we have never been.  Of course, Rush has the entire transcript on his home page.

Where do the majority of these other posters around here get their news?  Wow.

they ought to be sent up."

Rush Limbaugh critic Kevin Stevenson ousted as Marathon County Republican Party spokesman

By Robert Mentzer • Wausau Daily Herald • June 2, 2009

The Republican Party of Marathon County has stripped its spokesman of his title less than three months after he wrote a column critical of conservative talk radio star Rush Limbaugh.

I've heard Al Franken say this on a television interview.  He repeated it in an interview with Geov Parrish at WorkingforChange.com (05/02/05) to which we can conveniently link:

GP: What do you think the differences are between you and Limbaugh?

AF: I'm glad you asked me that. I use this example a lot. A few months ago, Rush was talking about the minimum wage. Conservatives like to portray it that no one has to raise a family on the minimum wage, the only people who get the minimum wage are teenagers who want to buy an i-Pod. So Rush says, "75 percent of all Americans on the minimum wage, my friends, are teenagers on their first job." And one of the researchers brings this to me, with a smile, and I say, "Well, can you look it up?" And they look it up, the researcher goes to something called the Bureau of Labor Statistics. 60.1 percent of Americans on minimum wage are twenty and above. 39.9 percent, then, are either teenagers or below twelve (laughs). I had several jobs as a teenager, so you figure, what, 13 percent might be teenagers in their first job. Not 75 percent. So where did Rush get his statistic? Well, he got it directly from his butt. It went out his butt, into his mouth, out the microphone, into the air, into the brains of dittoheads. And they believe this stuff.

So we get our labor statistics from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. He gets his from the Bureau of Rush's Butt. And that's the difference. We don't do that. That's one of the main differences.

I don't think I have wait for the liberal analysis of what Rush said.  I was actually listening on the days he said all the things you referred to above,  Of course, the so-called impoverished in this country are not the only ones with an obesity problem.  Anyone who eats more calories than their body can burn on a daily basis will end up with an obesity problem it's not exclusive to race or class. 

The UNICEF remarks were making fun of a U.N. charity program which, I believe, just last year was documented to be funneling money to Kofi Anan and his cohorts, but of course it was nicely swept under the rug.  Actually, Rush was making fun of Sally Struthers for standing around truly starving people making us feel guilty for not sending money to UNICEF while she's standing there weighing all of 300 pounds herself, and I would bet my life she didn't miss a meal while doing that shoot.

That's not the point.  I know what Rush said, because I heard what Rush said when he said it.  It was satire whether you believe or not.  Again, Rush does it, because he knows it will inflame liberals, and the PC crowd.  He didn't talk about the bloated bellies of the starving people in the context you and the article want to spin it to be. 

You don't get it, and I don't expect you to.  I politely suggest you stick to Air America (for however long it remains on the air), and don't bother yourself with what Rush has to say, because when you call him or anyone else bloated or fat you are seriously defeating your own cause in being outraged that he called someone else fat.

The liberal double standards just don't fly anymore.
