Rush Is Losing What's Left Of His Mind

Limbaugh's techniques of persuasion are fairly common among those who have a problem of domestic battery. Scare the crap out of the person you are trying to attack and make them afraid to leave by showing them how you treat those you perceive as being disloyal.

I think the right has a serious problem right now. Their hardcore is becoming increasingly hardcore while everyone else is quickly exiting the tent.

 

Right on. It's no surprise that many Republicans are abandoning the President.

They need to separate themselves from the out and out nuts to become anything close to resembling a mature political party again.

 

The latest update on this atrocious piece of business.

That's great follow-up by Edelstein, whose work I always enjoy.

 

Update to the update:

"The David Edelstein column, as it relates to me, is total bullshit, unfounded and irresponsible. Rush Limbaugh never called me, ever, and never uttered a hostile word in my direction. He certainly never defamed me, which leaves him one up on Edelstein.

This from someone whose handle is "I love puppies" LOL

 

But the most ridiculous part of this thread -- other than the originator of it calling anyone irrational or delusional (pot meet kettle) -- is that Rush has a point - why do reporters act as if they are above the kinds of inquisitions -- fair or unfair -- that have made this business the cesspool it has become?

 

Because he is delusional.
He's a drug-addled sex tourist with a microphone and no morals, and without the scruples god gave the common fungus. What he's suggesting is stalking. The only thing that gives me hope is that he's proven, time and again, to be too gutless to do this kind of thing himself.

 

Stalking?

You mean looking into and tearing apart the lives of your opponents or those who don't agree with you or pose a threat to you in order to try and intimidate them and/or discredit them in the hopes of turning attention away your own?

Isn't that straight from the playbook made famous by the Clinton campaign and now being repeated by the Rodham-Clinton campaign?

 

What's your point?

 

Simple -- that if this same statement - that she was going to start following journalists around, find out where their kids go to school, unearth the dirty laundry in their lives -- was made by someone like Hillary Rodham Clinton, Fenian and all of his leftie disciples in here would be starting a thread celebrating her for "taking a stand" against the meanies who are picking on her.

 

So you don't like Hillary?
