(9,090 posts)a pack of chickenhawks on radio lied us into a military action where a police action would have been better.
those 1000 coordinated radio stations with limbaugh as point man make reasoned rational debate impossible on national issues . and its now doing the groundwork for getting us into iran.
hundreds of thousands of civilians and US troops would not have died or been maimed without that chickenhawk limbaugh and his chickenhawk parrots repeating the rove/cheney talking points. many vets and their families can 'thank' rush.
it/he was instrumental in selling the lies to a large segment of the population, blaming 911 on sadam.
he was also instrumental in intimidating critics of the war who dared to speak out on MSM, just like he tried to intimidate sandra fluke. he led the shouts of "traitor!". he was instrumental selling us bush in the first place, and minimizing and intimidating his critics (dan rather for one).
he was instrumental in minimizing the effects of millions of protestors in the US and around the world who knew what was coming. he/they were louder. we should have taken teh protests to the radio stations, as OWS should be doing now.
he was instrumental enabling chickenhawk republican politicians and blue dogs get us into it, and intimidating dems who would have preferred alternatives and wanted to debate the issue longer.
and so on. IMO bush cheney rove would not have been able to take us into that disaster, with all those troops dying and being maimed, without limbaugh and spawn.
