is this guy still on drugs? If Rush believes this why isn't he praising the Clintons? They have something in common. Hey Rush, you can't have it both ways!!!

25. That's EXACTLY what I first thought!
Pigboy's never going to get clean. Why bother, he's Repug elite - he'll never go to prison like a Dem would.

20. This is a smear...
...on drug addicts.

Taking drugs is no excuse for turning into Rush Limbaugh.

7. Proof positive
that extreme right-wingnuts will always hate Hillary more than they'll ever despise Teresa Heinz Kerry, or any other female entity in the country. The conspiracy theorists still believe Hillary's at the center of a vast Federal plot to overthrow the country.

18. Challenger Explosion: Clinton's Fault
Great San Francisco Earthquake: Clinton
Pearl Harbor: Clinton
Tunguska: Clinton

Let's just face facts: Everything that's ever happened is Clinton's fault.

Boy, did Rush ever figure out how to play the system. The dumb preaching to the dumber.

13. Some people say...
That Rush is taking mega-doses of Ibogaine to treat his drug addiction, too. Which explains this comment.

That's right! Out of all the people in the world, I am SURE we can find some people that are saying that Rush is taking a powerful hallucinogen to treat his "Legal Smack" addiction?

See how easy this game is to play! :D

21. This is disgusting. I guess you can lie about anything today on the
airwaves 24/7. Bushies must be running very scared. Does Rush even have an audience? Does anyone know his numbers?

29. Rush is the most popular hate radio talk show on
Rush and his dildo heads have ruled the hate radio waves for years. There is a core group that just want to hate and they have found their Fuhrer in OxyRush.

Interesting note - Clear Channel, mega right wing owned radio network, has now signed up to broadcast Air America for several hours a day in some markets. Al Franken's show on Air America is out polling OxyRush is several markets. And like true recons - profit comes before ideology. Can't you imagine the dilemma in Clear Channel's executive suite - "Damn, why can't we be nasty and make the most money? We want it all! Why, oh WHY, does Franken have to be better than Rush?"

22. If Rush said Santa was in his studio...
would you post it here at DU?

Oy, how/why some of you listen to that crap.....I'll never understand. "Know your enemy" doesn't apply when it comes to that Load on Loafers....if he had actual arguments to refute maybe but this is just garbage.

WHY listen? WHY?

44. Years ago he was kind of funny, in a train-wreck sort of way.
I catch a few minutes of him at the top and bottom of the hour when I listen to the news but don't find him actually saying anything. He just says a bunch of smart-assed insults but doesn't go into detail on any policies or anything. Boortz is on past my bedtime but I think he can at least be a jerk in a funny way sometimes.

Insanity is his only option. And yes, he is on drugs.

31. Not the case
a great many people believe just about everything that Rush spews out over the radio waves. Sad, but true.

Don't underestimate the guy, he has influence.

33. All 527 Contributors' Names are PUBLIC - that's the law
If you give money to a 527 you name is available to the public with the amount you gave

37. My understanding of this rule is that the contributor's names
must be filed and made public when the 527's tax return is filed, usually well after the election. This may have changed but I don't know if it has or to what extent it has.

41. I'm not sure. Did you see the info I posted the other day on the
527s? One of my postings was comparing the 527(all)s and the 501(c)(all)s. The biggest advantage I saw with the 527s was the disclosure requirements and I have not seen anything yet in McCain-Feingold that changed them. I'll see if I can find the post and repost it if you want.

I looked at the 527 info that PublicIntegrity has and it appears that most 527s are taking a June fiscal for their IRS filings. It does not appear to be a big deal to file your return with "errors" on the contributor's page and just "correct the mistake" later.

38. Because Bush cares about getting elected more than the truth
Rush assumes that the Clinton's are the same way; that it's politics as usual. It's not about what's best for the country, it's all about getting elected by any means necessary. Regardless of Hillary's political aspirations, there is no way that the Clinton's would support another four catastrophic years of Bushco. They may be shrewd, but they aren't EVIL. Rush doesn't understand the difference.
