I listen to Limbaugh yesterday and only one person brought it up to him. His reaction was sarcasm and ridicule such as saying along the lines of "sure, the Jews are all behind this with Ariel Sharon." Rush was displaying his legendary wit with this one and playing a joke on his dumbdown audience. Other than this, there was nothing from him.
What can we call Limbaugh's audience? "Limbaugh Lemmings"? "Ditto-head dolts"?
Suggestions welcome.

Limbaugh and the neo-con movement is more destructive to European Christian culture in America than the radical left. We can accurately blame 80% of the turd-worldization of the U.S. on Reagan, Bush, and mainstream conservatism. We can thank Reagan and the conservatives for the scourge of militant Islam and Al Qaeda. While I was too young to have a thought-out position on Reagan & Co.'s actions in Afghanistan, I instinctly knew that supporting some slithering "Allah ahkbar"-shouting Mohammedan monkeys over Tolstoy-reading, chess-playing, Tschaikovsky-listening, space-exploring white guys is a bad thing.
There is too much that could be said on this topic (Limbaugh, the GOP, Fox News, mainstream conservatism, etc.). The best thing is to read OD, Liberty Forum, American Renaissance, et al., which will foster the development of an intuition that will enable one to see-though the facile analysis (or, rather, insidious propaganda) of mainstream conservatism. It's hard for me to believe that I once championed Republicanism, Limbaugh, Free Republic, Israel, et al.

Buster,
Having given this some thought, I think the best name for them is what Rush calls them himself.
"Mind numbed robots."
Of course, when he uses it, the dittoheads think that he is mocking the "liberals" and "Democrats," but I think this is Rush just showing his sense of humor for his Neo-con buddies.
What the dittoheads fail to realize is that is exactly what he thinks about them and I do as well. Now, at times I do have a rather descriptive way to describe them, but it is quite unprintable.

& I say:
Don't get down on yrself, man. Many of us have woken up (too late).
Stripped-down, Jeffersonian anti-Federalism is where it's at. Decentralized states'-rights; and, even beyond the various states, the localities (counties, cities), and, then, to the people.
THIS is the great essence of America. Anything not enumerated within the Constitution belongs not (per the 10th amendment) to the FedGov, but to the states and, if not to the states, to the people. & even IF a power is said to belong to any single state, there's still the "referendum, initiative and recall" option.
The citizenry (the TAXPAYER) holds the power in America. & Anyone who says differently needs confront the 2nd Amendment (the deer rifle).
Selah.

"Pig-Boy" is what comes to my mind when I think of Limbaugh. Pig styes are foul, filthy places full of pig piss and excrement, a discription which fits Limbaugh's followers.

The only thing Limbaugh is good for is as a sort of stepping-stone to rightist thought. A way to maybe awaken a few leftists towards [eventually] WN thinking. I started out listening to Rush, and now look at me -- wide awake on the Jew issue.
Beyond that, though, Rush seems useless.

I started out on the left and moved right through Buchanan and his anti-interventionism articles. If Rush were the only right-wing option for a "stepping stone", I'd probably be stuck floundering around in Nader-ville.
Buchanan is really the best one to court leftists, due to certain "common causes".

Rush seems to be one up on the liberals. What about the Iraqi airplane fuselage and the Al Qaeda and Iraqi training camps within Iraq (Salman Pak). Rush has photos right on his site so you can read it and weep.

It's not hard to be one up on the liberals.
I'm not familiar with the fuselage matter, but I believe the camps are in areas Saddam doesn't control.
If war breaks out, the happiest man in the world will be UBL. The second will be A Sharon, and the third would be Rupert Murdoch, head of the Fox propaganda channel.

That doesn't really answer my question.

Spida,
Well, I see who else was listening to Limbaugh yesterday. Periodically, this story and others like it gets recylced when the previous party line is refuted after a passage of time when they think people have forgotten that the matter was dealt with previously. I wonder when they will reuse the story about three freighters cruising the Indian Ocean with a cargo of "WMDs" that the Fearmongering--er FOX News network floated a couple of weeks ago? Or try to reuse the "documents" proving that Hussein tried to buy yellow cake from Niger?
Has it possibly occured to you that the fact that Iraq has a national airline that it would be in their interest to have a training facility to learn how to combat highjackings? Ill grant that it could be used for terrorist training, but I find that to be extremely doubtful. Iraq hasnt been involved in that for years and it would be the height of folly for them to be doing that during the 90s. Husseins main concern was to get the sanctions lifted and he had just about accomplished that before 9/11.
I cant get excited about this "story" simply because the people behind it I know to be professional liars whose main cause is Israel and Limbaugh is the biggest Israeli Firster on the radio, though the detestable Sean Hannity gives him a good run for his money when it comes to being obsequious. In short, I dont believe it and regard it as an attempt to engage in the sort of emotionalism that "liberals" are always doing. ("...for the children.")
Right now I`m more concerned about Israeli spying in America and attempts by American traitors to suppress any attempts to investigate it than I am about an old story about Salman Pak.

Between weeps....
Where do you suppose Rush got photos like that?
How are photos of "Al-Queda training camps" distinguishable from photos of Iraqi training camps?
Iraqi airplane fuselage and Iraqi training camps -- within Iraq? Oh, my! Take cover Amerika!
As big a threat to the world as the mighty Iraqi empire is, where is a country that can't fly its airplanes in its own airspace, and where anything bigger than a house has been bombed by the US Defense Department, expected to store its fuselage?
How do you know that "Al-Queda" and Rush Limbaugh aren't both creations of the Amerisraeli War Party? Surely there's a 'site' somewhere that'll confirm this, with pictures.

Does the fat, low-class retard have scanned images of the Uranium purchases from Niger?
Hmmm, whom should I believe? Some lard-assed retard talkshow host with a semester's worth of education from Southwest Missouri State, or Robert Baer, an honors Georgetown grad and the only Arabic-speaking CIA agent in the Middle East (and specifically Iraq) in the 90's. Baer, who worked with the Kurds to try to overthrow Saddam, has said there is absolutely no link at all. Or should I believe Oxford grad and Al Qaeda expert Peter Bergen, who says that "anyone who says Iraq has anything to do with Al Qaeda is lying." Or should I believe former CIA analyst Robert McGovern, who has said he has checked with every expert he knows at "the agency" and can not find a single person who thinks there is a link between Iraq and Al Qaeda.
But hey, this madness of the neo-con Bush gang is coming to an end (elections are fast approaching).
