    If what wasn't Rush who would be on which side of what argument, Duane?

    I'm going to hate myself in the morning for taking a seat on this runaway carousel, but where the hell did THIS come from?

    C'mon Hondo. Defending a hypocrite like Limbaugh is enough of a mental Twister game without the rank generalizations that are so far out there they might as well come from the gasbag's mouth.

    Welcome to the Hondo Carousel.

    His arguments go around and around but never actually get anywhere.

    I actually wasn't defending him. I was merely engaging in a debate in which I think there is a difference between a crack addict mugging or shooting people to get money for his habit and an oxycotin addict engaging in white-collar crime to do the same. At least in the latter, people aren't getting hurt in a violent way. Ultimately, they're both wrong and deserve whatever the criminal justice system decides they deserve.

    And the animal think is an observation held by more than one person that liberals would just as soon save the whales a human beings. What other kind of thinking would get indignent about dog-fighting, but condone abortion?

    There ... I opened another tempest. Have fun.

    So, as we've discussed previously, and since we're dealing in hypotheticals, you think there's a huge difference between your hypothetical "crack addict mugging or shooting" and middle class vehicular homicide? The latter is, well, boys being boys or something like that?

    Do I have that right?

    And as some of us have pointed out previously--but I guess you were chasing Muslims at the time--there are more people killed in alcohol related vehicular incidents than all the convenience store shootings you can imagine in your small mind.

    This isn't--as you keep pointing out--a difference of opinion.

    You are an idiot.

    Conservatives are drowning in their own hypocrisy. I can't wait for the Congressional resolution.

    Sorry, Zeke -- if it were say, Al Franken, the righties would be on the other side.

    Just asking: Is this the type of thread that could be heading for a moderator lock down? Kind of a newbie still (170 posts) around here ... so it's asking in a questioning voice. That's all. Thanks.

    Let the beatings continue until further notice ...

    Oh, this is mild.

    Stay tuned. :)
     
  11. Has Rush taken Jon Soltz up on the say-it-to-my-face challenge yet?

    Once again, you prove you are unable to engage in a civilized conversation without resorting to grade-school insults. But since you respond here in between eating paste, it's understandable.
    And comapring what I've been talking about to vehicular homicide is apples and oranges. If you had an ounce of sense, you'd see that.
    Now scoot ... recess is over.
