    You just know he's going to say he was taken out of context.

    Rush should do his show live from Baghdad for a few months. Then if he wants to call out the phonies, more power to him.

    As long as you people have the knives out waiting, I'll chime in. After all, I don't have an agate page due like some of you:

    Let's take a side issue first. "Drug-addled gasbag." You folks like this line. Try and remember the truth: He was addicted to pain medication such as oxycotin. He wasn't cracking down in an alley or snorting coke in a disco bathroom. There's a huge, huge difference. I had a friend in a similar situation, and it's very easy to get addicted to that. By the way, when you folks post on an NFL thread, do you reference Brett Favre as "drug-addled?"

    The gasbag stuff is par for the course for you people. It's another code word for someone who won't agree with you. I think Al Franken is a gasbag.

    The issue at hand: Rush shouldn't have said the phony soliders line. Anyone who goes over there, or in any war, deserves respect even if that person changes their mind about the war or the issues around it. He was wrong.

    You folks happy now? It would be nice if you could deal with an issue with insults such as "drug-addled" and "gasbag" which have nothign to do with anything. However, I understand how tough it can get at recess.

    I think Al Franken is a gasbag too.
    But Brett Favre never went on his national radio show and proclaimed "People who use drugs illegally should be thrown in the slammer" -- which is just what Rush did when he obtained the prescription drug with false prescriptions.

    Resorting to ad hominem attacks while decrying ad hominem attacks.

    Hypocrisy (and stupidity), thy name is hondo.

    Wow, if nothing else, Hondo's stupidity is predictable.

    Slow day on the Muslim bashing front I guess.

    Rush and Franken are gasbags.

    That should cover this useless thread, brought to you in part by "I hate Conservatives so fucking much, I'm going to drive myself insane by posting a new topic everyday, until I get my fucking message across."

    Disclaimer: what else in new in our boy's Fen's world. ::)

    I'd respond, but the Hungry Horse News needs its agate page.
     
  12. Friend? C'mon Hondo admit it.
