In reply to the discussion: Why are you people trying to start a war that no one will win? [View all]ProSense

So the next time you people are out there clamoring for the authorities to teach someone a lesson. Try and figure out what you're talking about, so the ones learning the lesson isn't us. Because this crap with the Bundy Ranch could blow up in our faces very quickly, and most of you are utterly clueless about what is going on because all you do is read other Liberals sites where you fantasize about how popular Democrats are and how fringe the RW is.
Limbaugh isn't failing in the radio business because he's too radical. He's failing because he's not radical enough for the RW today. They can get much more rhetoric from a number or sites on the web than they can from Limbaugh. Republicans are about to take the Senate Back, and besides denouncing those who warn you that the polling is showing this disastrous outcome, you all are just bouncing up and down because with Obamacare we're popular again. I read History, a lot of history. Do you want to know why the Pearl Harbor attack was successful? It wasn't because of a failure of intelligence to share information. Nor the failures of the commanders. It was ego plain and simple. We couldn't imagine the Japanese who we considered to be backward and buck toothed glasses wearing imbeciles being able to pull off such an attack. Even after the Battleships were sunk and burning we spent years pretending that the only way that the Japanese could pull it off was with help from the Nazi Germans.

Limbaugh is "failing" because he got his ass handed to after he tried to stand his ground on a line of attack. His owners are not losing advertisers because he's "not radical enough."
The OP is using Bundy in a bizarre way as a kitchen-sink attack on positions the poster doesn't agree with. What the hell do Republicans and the Senate have to do with the fact that people are glad that Obamacare is working?
What kind of criticism is that?
Here's a summary of this gobbledygook: Leave Bundy alone. It's the RW abandoning Rush, not the campaign against him that's causing his failure. Democrats are going to lose the Senate because people are "bouncing up and down" about Obamacare. It's your "ego" why you can't see things my way.
LOL!
Bundy is a crackpot, and it's time to hold his ass accountable.
