		<description>You all are a bunch of stupid, ignorant, mindless, lost sheep.  I hope you liberals get the society you dream about.  Let liberal men marry liberal men, let liberal women marry liberal women, let liberal pregnant women kill their liberal babies, let liberal atheist remove the Ten Commandments, Christianity, and all morals and values from our country and eventually you all will murder each other and eventually force yourselves into extinction.  It&#039;s inevitable and I can&#039;t wait!!! You all will get what you ask for and deserve!!!</description>

		<description>Richard is homeless, living in his car, dying of diabetis and heart failure (but still eating boxes of nonuts and chocolates in swoop), just had cataract operations, is causing the taxpayer a fortune.  He has not worked in over 20 years and expects the government to take care of him; thus, all his diatribe against republicans.

I already got him on SSI and have put him up in motels at a cost of 0 per week.  He will not look for a room, but rather seeks out your column and porno sites.   Marc, I met you a couple of times at the book fair at UCLA.</description>

		<description>By the way, it is only appropriate that Fox has supported Cardin, for the same reason that Fox supported Republican Senator Arlen Spector in 2004:  Cardin supports and always has supported embryonic stem cell research.  The smear against Cardin supposedly suggesting that he didn&#039;t support stem cell research is a typical right wing lie.  Even Michael Steele his Republican opponent has never repeated this internet, oxy-moron originated lie.</description>

		<description>If by &quot;pass&quot; you mean freedom from counter-criticism, no I wouldn&#039;t expect that.  If on the other hand you define a &quot;pass&quot; as immunity from having your disease and your advocacy of finding a cure ridiculed and joked about, then I do think that we all as humans deserve a &quot;pass&quot; from that...even though I am not suggesting censorship.  It&#039;s called human decency.

Here is an example of human decency:  I attended a speech at a church by Gracia Burnham.  She was the one who, along with her husband, were kidnapped along with about a dozen other missionaries in the Phillipines by radical Islamists a number of years ago (She ended up eventually being freed, but her husband was murdered).  I didn&#039;t know what I was in for, but it basically turned out to be a celebration of the extreme right wing.   

In her case, as well as the case of Terry Schiavo, would it have been appropriate to go on the airwaves and make fun of them and their tragedies?  Would it have been decent to have sccused them of &quot;faking it&quot; to make political hay?

The difference, Jim, is that if a left wing media personality had done any of these Limbaugh-esque things, they would have been denounced by the right establishment and banned from the airwaves, Dixie Chicks-style.

However, if you are any one of the cornucopia of right wing hot air bags on the air, you are given a free pass.  That&#039;s one of the differences between us and them. 

The other difference?  It&#039;s called decency and respect.  Something the right doesn&#039;t quite have a handle on.</description>

		<description>Michael Fox would have done stem cell research alot more good by promoting its promises, rather than using it to potentially defeat a political candidate, in the last days of an election btw. 

He opened himself up and threw himself into the ring of politics by doing his promoting this way. As I understand it, he specifically supported Cardin over Steele in the Maryland Senate race.

As the true statement goes, all is fair in war love, and politics. Rush&#039;s typical stupid and insensitive response actually helped Michael.

The question for the audience: does sympathic figures who insert themselves into this nasty arena, albeit very sincerely, ought to expect there will be insensitive and unkindly political pushback? Or do they they deserve a pass?</description>

		<description>Again, forget the Coulters and Limbaughs and consider how they made legitimate by the feeble challenges to what they say, or by not challenge them at all. 
   See Media Matters for Matt Lauer explaining on the today show how Fox got what he deserved, how Limbuagh &quot;just said what a lot of people were thinking.&quot;</description>

		<description>It is bizaare that prominent progressives even bother dignifying the likes of him and his fellow middle aged blonde counterpart by directly commenting on them or their dyspeptic rantings.  I prefer Tom Tomorrow&#039;s reference to them as &quot;The Scary Blonde Pundette&quot; and &quot;The Drug Addled Host&quot; 
http://www.workingforchange.com/comic.cfm?itemid=20975

As for the question, &quot;Is he really that dumb?&quot;, the answer is a resounding &quot;yes.&quot;  It&#039;s true that he and his ilk have brains enough to have much scorn for his own audience, which they certainly do.  However, American pop culture has always celebrated the least brightest and least talented.  I cannot even think of a radio media outlet here in the heartland of America, for example, that does not bore me with its banality.  I love visiting Canada because I can catch up on the actual news.

As was stated by a previous poster, oxy-moron&#039;s medical opinion snorts in relation to Fox won&#039;t change the view of the voting demographic whom Democratic operatives most covet.  The losers who make up oxy-moron&#039;s base of listeners are irrelevant in this election.  It is a case of preaching to the converted.

I will admit that it is interesting to note Fox&#039;s dignified and graceful response to this flunkie, but I don&#039;t believe that oxy-moron was worth even mentioning in the first place, since he and his crowd are non-entities.</description>

Thanks reg for the You Tube link, I thought you were joking that Mel&#039;s Jesus broke out with the Aramaic, but seeing is believing.  While I agree with the senitments written, I always get a little nervous around election time because this is the heartland we&#039;re talking about where production values rate way lower than family values.

But speaking of production values straight from the Atwater handbook is the Corker ad against Ford:

video.on.nytimes.com/ifr_main.jsp?nsid=b270dbb7b:10e82d03fd3:-3bf8&amp;fr_story=f503c8d9dc514acfb9e79bc6726b5b7fece48071&amp;st=1161838097516&amp;mp=FLV&amp;cpf=false&amp;fvn=9&amp;fr=031006_104425_w51bd0788x109e7460d63xw2703&amp;rdm=367394.83027131984

Why didn&#039;t they just give him a pimp hat?  You can check out other campaign ads as well at the NYT.

The Dems need either TN or VA to make the switch as well to take the Senate and all three races are mighty close.</description>

		<description>This thing you hear from time to time; that Rush is an embarrasment, that he doesn&#039;t really speak for conservatives, hmmm.... How do you square it with his wallpapered radio presence, and the fact that all major Republicans do his show? Wasn&#039;t Rummy on the other morning? Glad he&#039;s got the time. 

     What&#039;s a little sickening is the lordly treatment he gets whenever he does Russart, who seems to find him so endless charming he gets extra soft ball questions.</description>

		<description>You all are a bunch of stupid, ignorant, mindless, lost sheep.  I hope you liberals get the society you dream about.  Let liberal men marry liberal men, let liberal women marry liberal women, let liberal pregnant women kill their liberal babies, let liberal atheist remove the Ten Commandments, Christianity, and all morals and values from our country and eventually you all will murder each other and eventually force yourselves into extinction.  It&#039;s inevitable and I can&#039;t wait!!! You all will get what you ask for and deserve!!!</description>

		<description>Richard is homeless, living in his car, dying of diabetis and heart failure (but still eating boxes of nonuts and chocolates in swoop), just had cataract operations, is causing the taxpayer a fortune.  He has not worked in over 20 years and expects the government to take care of him; thus, all his diatribe against republicans.

I already got him on SSI and have put him up in motels at a cost of 0 per week.  He will not look for a room, but rather seeks out your column and porno sites.   Marc, I met you a couple of times at the book fair at UCLA.</description>

		<description>By the way, it is only appropriate that Fox has supported Cardin, for the same reason that Fox supported Republican Senator Arlen Spector in 2004:  Cardin supports and always has supported embryonic stem cell research.  The smear against Cardin supposedly suggesting that he didn&#039;t support stem cell research is a typical right wing lie.  Even Michael Steele his Republican opponent has never repeated this internet, oxy-moron originated lie.</description>

		<description>If by &quot;pass&quot; you mean freedom from counter-criticism, no I wouldn&#039;t expect that.  If on the other hand you define a &quot;pass&quot; as immunity from having your disease and your advocacy of finding a cure ridiculed and joked about, then I do think that we all as humans deserve a &quot;pass&quot; from that...even though I am not suggesting censorship.  It&#039;s called human decency.

Here is an example of human decency:  I attended a speech at a church by Gracia Burnham.  She was the one who, along with her husband, were kidnapped along with about a dozen other missionaries in the Phillipines by radical Islamists a number of years ago (She ended up eventually being freed, but her husband was murdered).  I didn&#039;t know what I was in for, but it basically turned out to be a celebration of the extreme right wing.   

In her case, as well as the case of Terry Schiavo, would it have been appropriate to go on the airwaves and make fun of them and their tragedies?  Would it have been decent to have sccused them of &quot;faking it&quot; to make political hay?

The difference, Jim, is that if a left wing media personality had done any of these Limbaugh-esque things, they would have been denounced by the right establishment and banned from the airwaves, Dixie Chicks-style.

However, if you are any one of the cornucopia of right wing hot air bags on the air, you are given a free pass.  That&#039;s one of the differences between us and them. 

The other difference?  It&#039;s called decency and respect.  Something the right doesn&#039;t quite have a handle on.</description>

		<description>Michael Fox would have done stem cell research alot more good by promoting its promises, rather than using it to potentially defeat a political candidate, in the last days of an election btw. 

He opened himself up and threw himself into the ring of politics by doing his promoting this way. As I understand it, he specifically supported Cardin over Steele in the Maryland Senate race.

As the true statement goes, all is fair in war love, and politics. Rush&#039;s typical stupid and insensitive response actually helped Michael.

The question for the audience: does sympathic figures who insert themselves into this nasty arena, albeit very sincerely, ought to expect there will be insensitive and unkindly political pushback? Or do they they deserve a pass?</description>

		<description>Again, forget the Coulters and Limbaughs and consider how they made legitimate by the feeble challenges to what they say, or by not challenge them at all.

		<description>It is bizaare that prominent progressives even bother dignifying the likes of him and his fellow middle aged blonde counterpart by directly commenting on them or their dyspeptic rantings.  I prefer Tom Tomorrow&#039;s reference to them as &quot;The Scary Blonde Pundette&quot; and &quot;The Drug Addled Host&quot; 
http://www.workingforchange.com/comic.cfm?itemid=20975

As for the question, &quot;Is he really that dumb?&quot;, the answer is a resounding &quot;yes.&quot;  It&#039;s true that he and his ilk have brains enough to have much scorn for his own audience, which they certainly do.  However, American pop culture has always celebrated the least brightest and least talented.  I cannot even think of a radio media outlet here in the heartland of America, for example, that does not bore me with its banality.  I love visiting Canada because I can catch up on the actual news.

As was stated by a previous poster, oxy-moron&#039;s medical opinion snorts in relation to Fox won&#039;t change the view of the voting demographic whom Democratic operatives most covet.  The losers who make up oxy-moron&#039;s base of listeners are irrelevant in this election.  It is a case of preaching to the converted.

I will admit that it is interesting to note Fox&#039;s dignified and graceful response to this flunkie, but I don&#039;t believe that oxy-moron was worth even mentioning in the first place, since he and his crowd are non-entities.</description>

		<description>Cheesetastick!

Thanks reg for the You Tube link, I thought you were joking that Mel&#039;s Jesus broke out with the Aramaic, but seeing is believing.  While I agree with the senitments written, I always get a little nervous around election time because this is the heartland we&#039;re talking about where production values rate way lower than family values.

But speaking of production values straight from the Atwater handbook is the Corker ad against Ford:

video.on.nytimes.com/ifr_main.jsp?nsid=b270dbb7b:10e82d03fd3:-3bf8&amp;fr_story=f503c8d9dc514acfb9e79bc6726b5b7fece48071&amp;st=1161838097516&amp;mp=FLV&amp;cpf=false&amp;fvn=9&amp;fr=031006_104425_w51bd0788x109e7460d63xw2703&amp;rdm=367394.83027131984

Why didn&#039;t they just give him a pimp hat?  You can check out other campaign ads as well at the NYT.

The Dems need either TN or VA to make the switch as well to take the Senate and all three races are mighty close.</description>

		<description>This thing you hear from time to time; that Rush is an embarrasment, that he doesn&#039;t really speak for conservatives, hmmm.... How do you square it with his wallpapered radio presence, and the fact that all major Republicans do his show? Wasn&#039;t Rummy on the other morning? Glad he&#039;s got the time. 

     What&#039;s a little sickening is the lordly treatment he gets whenever he does Russart, who seems to find him so endless charming he gets extra soft ball questions.</description>

		<description>You all are a bunch of stupid, ignorant, mindless, lost sheep.  I hope you liberals get the society you dream about.  Let liberal men marry liberal men, let liberal women marry liberal women, let liberal pregnant women kill their liberal babies, let liberal atheist remove the Ten Commandments, Christianity, and all morals and values from our country and eventually you all will murder each other and eventually force yourselves into extinction.  It&#039;s inevitable and I can&#039;t wait!!! You all will get what you ask for and deserve!!!</description>

		<description>Richard is homeless, living in his car, dying of diabetis and heart failure (but still eating boxes of nonuts and chocolates in swoop), just had cataract operations, is causing the taxpayer a fortune.  He has not worked in over 20 years and expects the government to take care of him; thus, all his diatribe against republicans.

I already got him on SSI and have put him up in motels at a cost of 0 per week.  He will not look for a room, but rather seeks out your column and porno sites.   Marc, I met you a couple of times at the book fair at UCLA.</description>

		<description>By the way, it is only appropriate that Fox has supported Cardin, for the same reason that Fox supported Republican Senator Arlen Spector in 2004:  Cardin supports and always has supported embryonic stem cell research.  The smear against Cardin supposedly suggesting that he didn&#039;t support stem cell research is a typical right wing lie.  Even Michael Steele his Republican opponent has never repeated this internet, oxy-moron originated lie.</description>

		<description>If by &quot;pass&quot; you mean freedom from counter-criticism, no I wouldn&#039;t expect that.  If on the other hand you define a &quot;pass&quot; as immunity from having your disease and your advocacy of finding a cure ridiculed and joked about, then I do think that we all as humans deserve a &quot;pass&quot; from that...even though I am not suggesting censorship.  It&#039;s called human decency.

Here is an example of human decency:  I attended a speech at a church by Gracia Burnham.  She was the one who, along with her husband, were kidnapped along with about a dozen other missionaries in the Phillipines by radical Islamists a number of years ago (She ended up eventually being freed, but her husband was murdered).  I didn&#039;t know what I was in for, but it basically turned out to be a celebration of the extreme right wing.   

In her case, as well as the case of Terry Schiavo, would it have been appropriate to go on the airwaves and make fun of them and their tragedies?  Would it have been decent to have sccused them of &quot;faking it&quot; to make political hay?

The difference, Jim, is that if a left wing media personality had done any of these Limbaugh-esque things, they would have been denounced by the right establishment and banned from the airwaves, Dixie Chicks-style.

However, if you are any one of the cornucopia of right wing hot air bags on the air, you are given a free pass.  That&#039;s one of the differences between us and them. 

The other difference?  It&#039;s called decency and respect.  Something the right doesn&#039;t quite have a handle on.</description>

		<description>Michael Fox would have done stem cell research alot more good by promoting its promises, rather than using it to potentially defeat a political candidate, in the last days of an election btw. 

He opened himself up and threw himself into the ring of politics by doing his promoting this way. As I understand it, he specifically supported Cardin over Steele in the Maryland Senate race.

As the true statement goes, all is fair in war love, and politics. Rush&#039;s typical stupid and insensitive response actually helped Michael.

The question for the audience: does sympathic figures who insert themselves into this nasty arena, albeit very sincerely, ought to expect there will be insensitive and unkindly political pushback? Or do they they deserve a pass?</description>

I prefer Tom Tomorrow&#039;s reference to them as &quot;The Scary Blonde Pundette&quot; and &quot;The Drug Addled Host&quot; 
http://www.workingforchange.com/comic.cfm?itemid=20975

As for the question, &quot;Is he really that dumb?&quot;, the answer is a resounding &quot;yes.&quot;  It&#039;s true that he and his ilk have brains enough to have much scorn for his own audience, which they certainly do.  However, American pop culture has always celebrated the least brightest and least talented.  I cannot even think of a radio media outlet here in the heartland of America, for example, that does not bore me with its banality.  I love visiting Canada because I can catch up on the actual news.

As was stated by a previous poster, oxy-moron&#039;s medical opinion snorts in relation to Fox won&#039;t change the view of the voting demographic whom Democratic operatives most covet.  The losers who make up oxy-moron&#039;s base of listeners are irrelevant in this election.  It is a case of preaching to the converted.

I will admit that it is interesting to note Fox&#039;s dignified and graceful response to this flunkie, but I don&#039;t believe that oxy-moron was worth even mentioning in the first place, since he and his crowd are non-entities.</description>

Thanks reg for the You Tube link, I thought you were joking that Mel&#039;s Jesus broke out with the Aramaic, but seeing is believing.  While I agree with the senitments written, I always get a little nervous around election time because this is the heartland we&#039;re talking about where production values rate way lower than family values.

But speaking of production values straight from the Atwater handbook is the Corker ad against Ford:

video.on.nytimes.com/ifr_main.jsp?nsid=b270dbb7b:10e82d03fd3:-3bf8&amp;fr_story=f503c8d9dc514acfb9e79bc6726b5b7fece48071&amp;st=1161838097516&amp;mp=FLV&amp;cpf=false&amp;fvn=9&amp;fr=031006_104425_w51bd0788x109e7460d63xw2703&amp;rdm=367394.83027131984

Why didn&#039;t they just give him a pimp hat?  You can check out other campaign ads as well at the NYT.

The Dems need either TN or VA to make the switch as well to take the Senate and all three races are mighty close.</description>

		<description>This thing you hear from time to time; that Rush is an embarrasment, that he doesn&#039;t really speak for conservatives, hmmm.... How do you square it with his wallpapered radio presence, and the fact that all major Republicans do his show? Wasn&#039;t Rummy on the other morning? Glad he&#039;s got the time. 

     What&#039;s a little sickening is the lordly treatment he gets whenever he does Russart, who seems to find him so endless charming he gets extra soft ball questions.</description>

		<description>You all are a bunch of stupid, ignorant, mindless, lost sheep.  I hope you liberals get the society you dream about.  Let liberal men marry liberal men, let liberal women marry liberal women, let liberal pregnant women kill their liberal babies, let liberal atheist remove the Ten Commandments, Christianity, and all morals and values from our country and eventually you all will murder each other and eventually force yourselves into extinction.  It&#039;s inevitable and I can&#039;t wait!!! You all will get what you ask for and deserve!!!</description>

		<description>Richard is homeless, living in his car, dying of diabetis and heart failure (but still eating boxes of nonuts and chocolates in swoop), just had cataract operations, is causing the taxpayer a fortune.  He has not worked in over 20 years and expects the government to take care of him; thus, all his diatribe against republicans.

I already got him on SSI and have put him up in motels at a cost of 0 per week.  He will not look for a room, but rather seeks out your column and porno sites.   Marc, I met you a couple of times at the book fair at UCLA.</description>

		<description>By the way, it is only appropriate that Fox has supported Cardin, for the same reason that Fox supported Republican Senator Arlen Spector in 2004:  Cardin supports and always has supported embryonic stem cell research.  The smear against Cardin supposedly suggesting that he didn&#039;t support stem cell research is a typical right wing lie.  Even Michael Steele his Republican opponent has never repeated this internet, oxy-moron originated lie.</description>

		<description>If by &quot;pass&quot; you mean freedom from counter-criticism, no I wouldn&#039;t expect that.  If on the other hand you define a &quot;pass&quot; as immunity from having your disease and your advocacy of finding a cure ridiculed and joked about, then I do think that we all as humans deserve a &quot;pass&quot; from that...even though I am not suggesting censorship.  It&#039;s called human decency.

Here is an example of human decency:  I attended a speech at a church by Gracia Burnham.  She was the one who, along with her husband, were kidnapped along with about a dozen other missionaries in the Phillipines by radical Islamists a number of years ago (She ended up eventually being freed, but her husband was murdered).  I didn&#039;t know what I was in for, but it basically turned out to be a celebration of the extreme right wing.   

In her case, as well as the case of Terry Schiavo, would it have been appropriate to go on the airwaves and make fun of them and their tragedies?  Would it have been decent to have sccused them of &quot;faking it&quot; to make political hay?

The difference, Jim, is that if a left wing media personality had done any of these Limbaugh-esque things, they would have been denounced by the right establishment and banned from the airwaves, Dixie Chicks-style.

However, if you are any one of the cornucopia of right wing hot air bags on the air, you are given a free pass.  That&#039;s one of the differences between us and them. 

The other difference?  It&#039;s called decency and respect.  Something the right doesn&#039;t quite have a handle on.</description>

		<description>Michael Fox would have done stem cell research alot more good by promoting its promises, rather than using it to potentially defeat a political candidate, in the last days of an election btw. 

He opened himself up and threw himself into the ring of politics by doing his promoting this way. As I understand it, he specifically supported Cardin over Steele in the Maryland Senate race.

As the true statement goes, all is fair in war love, and politics. Rush&#039;s typical stupid and insensitive response actually helped Michael.

The question for the audience: does sympathic figures who insert themselves into this nasty arena, albeit very sincerely, ought to expect there will be insensitive and unkindly political pushback? Or do they they deserve a pass?</description>

		<description>Again, forget the Coulters and Limbaughs and consider how they made legitimate by the feeble challenges to what they say, or by not challenge them at all. 
   See Media Matters for Matt Lauer explaining on the today show how Fox got what he deserved, how Limbuagh &quot;just said what a lot of people were thinking.&quot;</description>

		<description>So its in Aramaic? Way to reach beyond the base. Reminds me of the story of the Boston Brahim who was studying Hebrew so that when he died he could talk to God in his own language!</description>

		<description>Re. David&#039;s comment, Michael Fox&#039;s response to Limbaugh
was incredibly dignified. He simply stated that he realized
that people who didn&#039;t live with it would have a hard time
understanding the disease.  What a contrast to the ugliness
of Limbaugh&#039;s soul on display...</description>

Any chance you could learn to use

Jesus broke out with the Aramaic, but
seeing is believing.&quot;

Dogwhistle politics at its finest.

		<description>It is bizaare that prominent progressives even bother dignifying the likes of him and his fellow middle aged blonde counterpart by directly commenting on them or their dyspeptic rantings.  I prefer Tom Tomorrow&#039;s reference to them as &quot;The Scary Blonde Pundette&quot; and &quot;The Drug Addled Host&quot; 
http://www.workingforchange.com/comic.cfm?itemid=20975

As for the question, &quot;Is he really that dumb?&quot;, the answer is a resounding &quot;yes.&quot;  It&#039;s true that he and his ilk have brains enough to have much scorn for his own audience, which they certainly do.  However, American pop culture has always celebrated the least brightest and least talented.  I cannot even think of a radio media outlet here in the heartland of America, for example, that does not bore me with its banality.  I love visiting Canada because I can catch up on the actual news.

As was stated by a previous poster, oxy-moron&#039;s medical opinion snorts in relation to Fox won&#039;t change the view of the voting demographic whom Democratic operatives most covet.  The losers who make up oxy-moron&#039;s base of listeners are irrelevant in this election.  It is a case of preaching to the converted.

I will admit that it is interesting to note Fox&#039;s dignified and graceful response to this flunkie, but I don&#039;t believe that oxy-moron was worth even mentioning in the first place, since he and his crowd are non-entities.</description>

Thanks reg for the You Tube link, I thought you were joking that Mel&#039;s Jesus broke out with the Aramaic, but seeing is believing.  While I agree with the senitments written, I always get a little nervous around election time because this is the heartland we&#039;re talking about where production values rate way lower than family values.

But speaking of production values straight from the Atwater handbook is the Corker ad against Ford:

video.on.nytimes.com/ifr_main.jsp?nsid=b270dbb7b:10e82d03fd3:-3bf8&amp;fr_story=f503c8d9dc514acfb9e79bc6726b5b7fece48071&amp;st=1161838097516&amp;mp=FLV&amp;cpf=false&amp;fvn=9&amp;fr=031006_104425_w51bd0788x109e7460d63xw2703&amp;rdm=367394.83027131984

Why didn&#039;t they just give him a pimp hat?  You can check out other campaign ads as well at the NYT.

The Dems need either TN or VA to make the switch as well to take the Senate and all three races are mighty close.</description>

		<description>This thing you hear from time to time; that Rush is an embarrasment, that he doesn&#039;t really speak for conservatives, hmmm.... How do you square it with his wallpapered radio presence, and the fact that all major Republicans do his show? Wasn&#039;t Rummy on the other morning? Glad he&#039;s got the time. 

     What&#039;s a little sickening is the lordly treatment he gets whenever he does Russart, who seems to find him so endless charming he gets extra soft ball questions.</description>

		<description>Richard is homeless, living in his car, dying of diabetis and heart failure (but still eating boxes of nonuts and chocolates in swoop), just had cataract operations, is causing the taxpayer a fortune.  He has not worked in over 20 years and expects the government to take care of him; thus, all his diatribe against republicans.

I already got him on SSI and have put him up in motels at a cost of $300 per week.  He will not look for a room, but rather seeks out your column and porno sites.   Marc, I met you a couple of times at the book fair at UCLA.</description>

		<description>You all are a bunch of stupid, ignorant, mindless, lost sheep.  I hope you liberals get the society you dream about.  Let liberal men marry liberal men, let liberal women marry liberal women, let liberal pregnant women kill their liberal babies, let liberal atheist remove the Ten Commandments, Christianity, and all morals and values from our country and eventually you all will murder each other and eventually force yourselves into extinction.  It&#039;s inevitable and I can&#039;t wait!!! You all will get what you ask for and deserve!!!</description>

		<description>By the way, it is only appropriate that Fox has supported Cardin, for the same reason that Fox supported Republican Senator Arlen Spector in 2004:  Cardin supports and always has supported embryonic stem cell research.  The smear against Cardin supposedly suggesting that he didn&#039;t support stem cell research is a typical right wing lie.  Even Michael Steele his Republican opponent has never repeated this internet, oxy-moron originated lie.</description>

		<description>If by &quot;pass&quot; you mean freedom from counter-criticism, no I wouldn&#039;t expect that.  If on the other hand you define a &quot;pass&quot; as immunity from having your disease and your advocacy of finding a cure ridiculed and joked about, then I do think that we all as humans deserve a &quot;pass&quot; from that...even though I am not suggesting censorship.  It&#039;s called human decency.

Here is an example of human decency:  I attended a speech at a church by Gracia Burnham.  She was the one who, along with her husband, were kidnapped along with about a dozen other missionaries in the Phillipines by radical Islamists a number of years ago (She ended up eventually being freed, but her husband was murdered).  I didn&#039;t know what I was in for, but it basically turned out to be a celebration of the extreme right wing.   

In her case, as well as the case of Terry Schiavo, would it have been appropriate to go on the airwaves and make fun of them and their tragedies?  Would it have been decent to have sccused them of &quot;faking it&quot; to make political hay?

The difference, Jim, is that if a left wing media personality had done any of these Limbaugh-esque things, they would have been denounced by the right establishment and banned from the airwaves, Dixie Chicks-style.

However, if you are any one of the cornucopia of right wing hot air bags on the air, you are given a free pass.  That&#039;s one of the differences between us and them. 

The other difference?  It&#039;s called decency and respect.  Something the right doesn&#039;t quite have a handle on.</description>

		<description>Michael Fox would have done stem cell research alot more good by promoting its promises, rather than using it to potentially defeat a political candidate, in the last days of an election btw. 

He opened himself up and threw himself into the ring of politics by doing his promoting this way. As I understand it, he specifically supported Cardin over Steele in the Maryland Senate race.

As the true statement goes, all is fair in war love, and politics. Rush&#039;s typical stupid and insensitive response actually helped Michael.

The question for the audience: does sympathic figures who insert themselves into this nasty arena, albeit very sincerely, ought to expect there will be insensitive and unkindly political pushback? Or do they they deserve a pass?</description>

		<description>Again, forget the Coulters and Limbaughs and consider how they made legitimate by the feeble challenges to what they say, or by not challenge them at all. 
   See Media Matters for Matt Lauer explaining on the today show how Fox got what he deserved, how Limbuagh &quot;just said what a lot of people were thinking.&quot;</description>

		<description>It is bizaare that prominent progressives even bother dignifying the likes of him and his fellow middle aged blonde counterpart by directly commenting on them or their dyspeptic rantings.  I prefer Tom Tomorrow&#039;s reference to them as &quot;The Scary Blonde Pundette&quot; and &quot;The Drug Addled Host&quot; 
http://www.workingforchange.com/comic.cfm?itemid=20975

As for the question, &quot;Is he really that dumb?&quot;, the answer is a resounding &quot;yes.&quot;  It&#039;s true that he and his ilk have brains enough to have much scorn for his own audience, which they certainly do.  However, American pop culture has always celebrated the least brightest and least talented.  I cannot even think of a radio media outlet here in the heartland of America, for example, that does not bore me with its banality.  I love visiting Canada because I can catch up on the actual news.

As was stated by a previous poster, oxy-moron&#039;s medical opinion snorts in relation to Fox won&#039;t change the view of the voting demographic whom Democratic operatives most covet.  The losers who make up oxy-moron&#039;s base of listeners are irrelevant in this election.  It is a case of preaching to the converted.

I will admit that it is interesting to note Fox&#039;s dignified and graceful response to this flunkie, but I don&#039;t believe that oxy-moron was worth even mentioning in the first place, since he and his crowd are non-entities.</description>

		<description>Cheesetastick!

Thanks reg for the You Tube link, I thought you were joking that Mel&#039;s Jesus broke out with the Aramaic, but seeing is believing.  While I agree with the senitments written, I always get a little nervous around election time because this is the heartland we&#039;re talking about where production values rate way lower than family values.

But speaking of production values straight from the Atwater handbook is the Corker ad against Ford:

video.on.nytimes.com/ifr_main.jsp?nsid=b270dbb7b:10e82d03fd3:-3bf8&amp;fr_story=f503c8d9dc514acfb9e79bc6726b5b7fece48071&amp;st=1161838097516&amp;mp=FLV&amp;cpf=false&amp;fvn=9&amp;fr=031006_104425_w51bd0788x109e7460d63xw2703&amp;rdm=367394.83027131984

Why didn&#039;t they just give him a pimp hat?  You can check out other campaign ads as well at the NYT.

The Dems need either TN or VA to make the switch as well to take the Senate and all three races are mighty close.</description>

		<description>This thing you hear from time to time; that Rush is an embarrasment, that he doesn&#039;t really speak for conservatives, hmmm.... How do you square it with his wallpapered radio presence, and the fact that all major Republicans do his show? Wasn&#039;t Rummy on the other morning? Glad he&#039;s got the time. 

     What&#039;s a little sickening is the lordly treatment he gets whenever he does Russart, who seems to find him so endless charming he gets extra soft ball questions.</description>

		<description>You all are a bunch of stupid, ignorant, mindless, lost sheep.  I hope you liberals get the society you dream about.  Let liberal men marry liberal men, let liberal women marry liberal women, let liberal pregnant women kill their liberal babies, let liberal atheist remove the Ten Commandments, Christianity, and all morals and values from our country and eventually you all will murder each other and eventually force yourselves into extinction.  It&#039;s inevitable and I can&#039;t wait!!! You all will get what you ask for and deserve!!!</description>

		<description>Richard is homeless, living in his car, dying of diabetis and heart failure (but still eating boxes of nonuts and chocolates in swoop), just had cataract operations, is causing the taxpayer a fortune.  He has not worked in over 20 years and expects the government to take care of him; thus, all his diatribe against republicans.

I already got him on SSI and have put him up in motels at a cost of 0 per week.  He will not look for a room, but rather seeks out your column and porno sites.   Marc, I met you a couple of times at the book fair at UCLA.</description>

		<description>By the way, it is only appropriate that Fox has supported Cardin, for the same reason that Fox supported Republican Senator Arlen Spector in 2004:  Cardin supports and always has supported embryonic stem cell research.  The smear against Cardin supposedly suggesting that he didn&#039;t support stem cell research is a typical right wing lie.  Even Michael Steele his Republican opponent has never repeated this internet, oxy-moron originated lie.</description>

		<description>If by &quot;pass&quot; you mean freedom from counter-criticism, no I wouldn&#039;t expect that.  If on the other hand you define a &quot;pass&quot; as immunity from having your disease and your advocacy of finding a cure ridiculed and joked about, then I do think that we all as humans deserve a &quot;pass&quot; from that...even though I am not suggesting censorship.  It&#039;s called human decency.

Here is an example of human decency:  I attended a speech at a church by Gracia Burnham.  She was the one who, along with her husband, were kidnapped along with about a dozen other missionaries in the Phillipines by radical Islamists a number of years ago (She ended up eventually being freed, but her husband was murdered).  I didn&#039;t know what I was in for, but it basically turned out to be a celebration of the extreme right wing.   

In her case, as well as the case of Terry Schiavo, would it have been appropriate to go on the airwaves and make fun of them and their tragedies?  Would it have been decent to have sccused them of &quot;faking it&quot; to make political hay?

The difference, Jim, is that if a left wing media personality had done any of these Limbaugh-esque things, they would have been denounced by the right establishment and banned from the airwaves, Dixie Chicks-style.

However, if you are any one of the cornucopia of right wing hot air bags on the air, you are given a free pass.  That&#039;s one of the differences between us and them. 

The other difference?  It&#039;s called decency and respect.  Something the right doesn&#039;t quite have a handle on.</description>

		<description>Michael Fox would have done stem cell research alot more good by promoting its promises, rather than using it to potentially defeat a political candidate, in the last days of an election btw. 

He opened himself up and threw himself into the ring of politics by doing his promoting this way. As I understand it, he specifically supported Cardin over Steele in the Maryland Senate race.

As the true statement goes, all is fair in war love, and politics. Rush&#039;s typical stupid and insensitive response actually helped Michael.

The question for the audience: does sympathic figures who insert themselves into this nasty arena, albeit very sincerely, ought to expect there will be insensitive and unkindly political pushback? Or do they they deserve a pass?</description>

		<description>It is bizaare that prominent progressives even bother dignifying the likes of him and his fellow middle aged blonde counterpart by directly commenting on them or their dyspeptic rantings.  I prefer Tom Tomorrow&#039;s reference to them as &quot;The Scary Blonde Pundette&quot; and &quot;The Drug Addled Host&quot; 
http://www.workingforchange.com/comic.cfm?itemid=20975

As for the question, &quot;Is he really that dumb?&quot;, the answer is a resounding &quot;yes.&quot;  It&#039;s true that he and his ilk have brains enough to have much scorn for his own audience, which they certainly do.  However, American pop culture has always celebrated the least brightest and least talented.  I cannot even think of a radio media outlet here in the heartland of America, for example, that does not bore me with its banality.  I love visiting Canada because I can catch up on the actual news.

As was stated by a previous poster, oxy-moron&#039;s medical opinion snorts in relation to Fox won&#039;t change the view of the voting demographic whom Democratic operatives most covet.  The losers who make up oxy-moron&#039;s base of listeners are irrelevant in this election.  It is a case of preaching to the converted.

I will admit that it is interesting to note Fox&#039;s dignified and graceful response to this flunkie, but I don&#039;t believe that oxy-moron was worth even mentioning in the first place, since he and his crowd are non-entities.</description>

		<description>Cheesetastick!

Thanks reg for the You Tube link, I thought you were joking that Mel&#039;s Jesus broke out with the Aramaic, but seeing is believing.  While I agree with the senitments written, I always get a little nervous around election time because this is the heartland we&#039;re talking about where production values rate way lower than family values.

But speaking of production values straight from the Atwater handbook is the Corker ad against Ford:

video.on.nytimes.com/ifr_main.jsp?nsid=b270dbb7b:10e82d03fd3:-3bf8&amp;fr_story=f503c8d9dc514acfb9e79bc6726b5b7fece48071&amp;st=1161838097516&amp;mp=FLV&amp;cpf=false&amp;fvn=9&amp;fr=031006_104425_w51bd0788x109e7460d63xw2703&amp;rdm=367394.83027131984

Why didn&#039;t they just give him a pimp hat?  You can check out other campaign ads as well at the NYT.

The Dems need either TN or VA to make the switch as well to take the Senate and all three races are mighty close.</description>

		<description>This thing you hear from time to time; that Rush is an embarrasment, that he doesn&#039;t really speak for conservatives, hmmm.... How do you square it with his wallpapered radio presence, and the fact that all major Republicans do his show? Wasn&#039;t Rummy on the other morning? Glad he&#039;s got the time. 

     What&#039;s a little sickening is the lordly treatment he gets whenever he does Russart, who seems to find him so endless charming he gets extra soft ball questions.</description>

		<description>By the way, it is only appropriate that Fox has supported Cardin, for the same reason that Fox supported Republican Senator Arlen Spector in 2004:  Cardin supports and always has supported embryonic stem cell research.  The smear against Cardin supposedly suggesting that he didn&#039;t support stem cell research is a typical right wing lie.  Even Michael Steele his Republican opponent has never repeated this internet, oxy-moron originated lie.</description>

		<description>You all are a bunch of stupid, ignorant, mindless, lost sheep.  I hope you liberals get the society you dream about.  Let liberal men marry liberal men, let liberal women marry liberal women, let liberal pregnant women kill their liberal babies, let liberal atheist remove the Ten Commandments, Christianity, and all morals and values from our country and eventually you all will murder each other and eventually force yourselves into extinction.  It&#039;s inevitable and I can&#039;t wait!!! You all will get what you ask for and deserve!!!</description>

It&#8217;s inevitable and I can&#8217;t wait!!! You all will get what you ask for and deserve!!!</p>

		<description>Richard is homeless, living in his car, dying of diabetis and heart failure (but still eating boxes of nonuts and chocolates in swoop), just had cataract operations, is causing the taxpayer a fortune.  He has not worked in over 20 years and expects the government to take care of him; thus, all his diatribe against republicans.

I already got him on SSI and have put him up in motels at a cost of 0 per week.  He will not look for a room, but rather seeks out your column and porno sites.   Marc, I met you a couple of times at the book fair at UCLA.</description>

		<description>By the way, it is only appropriate that Fox has supported Cardin, for the same reason that Fox supported Republican Senator Arlen Spector in 2004:  Cardin supports and always has supported embryonic stem cell research.  The smear against Cardin supposedly suggesting that he didn&#039;t support stem cell research is a typical right wing lie.  Even Michael Steele his Republican opponent has never repeated this internet, oxy-moron originated lie.</description>

		<description>If by &quot;pass&quot; you mean freedom from counter-criticism, no I wouldn&#039;t expect that.  If on the other hand you define a &quot;pass&quot; as immunity from having your disease and your advocacy of finding a cure ridiculed and joked about, then I do think that we all as humans deserve a &quot;pass&quot; from that...even though I am not suggesting censorship.  It&#039;s called human decency.

Here is an example of human decency:  I attended a speech at a church by Gracia Burnham.  She was the one who, along with her husband, were kidnapped along with about a dozen other missionaries in the Phillipines by radical Islamists a number of years ago (She ended up eventually being freed, but her husband was murdered).  I didn&#039;t know what I was in for, but it basically turned out to be a celebration of the extreme right wing.   

In her case, as well as the case of Terry Schiavo, would it have been appropriate to go on the airwaves and make fun of them and their tragedies?  Would it have been decent to have sccused them of &quot;faking it&quot; to make political hay?

The difference, Jim, is that if a left wing media personality had done any of these Limbaugh-esque things, they would have been denounced by the right establishment and banned from the airwaves, Dixie Chicks-style.

However, if you are any one of the cornucopia of right wing hot air bags on the air, you are given a free pass.  That&#039;s one of the differences between us and them. 

The other difference?  It&#039;s called decency and respect.  Something the right doesn&#039;t quite have a handle on.</description>

		<description>Michael Fox would have done stem cell research alot more good by promoting its promises, rather than using it to potentially defeat a political candidate, in the last days of an election btw. 

He opened himself up and threw himself into the ring of politics by doing his promoting this way. As I understand it, he specifically supported Cardin over Steele in the Maryland Senate race.

As the true statement goes, all is fair in war love, and politics. Rush&#039;s typical stupid and insensitive response actually helped Michael.

The question for the audience: does sympathic figures who insert themselves into this nasty arena, albeit very sincerely, ought to expect there will be insensitive and unkindly political pushback? Or do they they deserve a pass?</description>

		<description>It is bizaare that prominent progressives even bother dignifying the likes of him and his fellow middle aged blonde counterpart by directly commenting on them or their dyspeptic rantings.  I prefer Tom Tomorrow&#039;s reference to them as &quot;The Scary Blonde Pundette&quot; and &quot;The Drug Addled Host&quot; 
http://www.workingforchange.com/comic.cfm?itemid=20975

As for the question, &quot;Is he really that dumb?&quot;, the answer is a resounding &quot;yes.&quot;  It&#039;s true that he and his ilk have brains enough to have much scorn for his own audience, which they certainly do.  However, American pop culture has always celebrated the least brightest and least talented.  I cannot even think of a radio media outlet here in the heartland of America, for example, that does not bore me with its banality.  I love visiting Canada because I can catch up on the actual news.

As was stated by a previous poster, oxy-moron&#039;s medical opinion snorts in relation to Fox won&#039;t change the view of the voting demographic whom Democratic operatives most covet.  The losers who make up oxy-moron&#039;s base of listeners are irrelevant in this election.  It is a case of preaching to the converted.

I will admit that it is interesting to note Fox&#039;s dignified and graceful response to this flunkie, but I don&#039;t believe that oxy-moron was worth even mentioning in the first place, since he and his crowd are non-entities.</description>

		<description>Cheesetastick!

Thanks reg for the You Tube link, I thought you were joking that Mel&#039;s Jesus broke out with the Aramaic, but seeing is believing.  While I agree with the senitments written, I always get a little nervous around election time because this is the heartland we&#039;re talking about where production values rate way lower than family values.

But speaking of production values straight from the Atwater handbook is the Corker ad against Ford:

video.on.nytimes.com/ifr_main.jsp?nsid=b270dbb7b:10e82d03fd3:-3bf8&amp;fr_story=f503c8d9dc514acfb9e79bc6726b5b7fece48071&amp;st=1161838097516&amp;mp=FLV&amp;cpf=false&amp;fvn=9&amp;fr=031006_104425_w51bd0788x109e7460d63xw2703&amp;rdm=367394.83027131984

Why didn&#039;t they just give him a pimp hat?  You can check out other campaign ads as well at the NYT.

The Dems need either TN or VA to make the switch as well to take the Senate and all three races are mighty close.</description>

		<description>This thing you hear from time to time; that Rush is an embarrasment, that he doesn&#039;t really speak for conservatives, hmmm.... How do you square it with his wallpapered radio presence, and the fact that all major Republicans do his show? Wasn&#039;t Rummy on the other morning? Glad he&#039;s got the time. 

     What&#039;s a little sickening is the lordly treatment he gets whenever he does Russart, who seems to find him so endless charming he gets extra soft ball questions.</description>

		<description>If by &quot;pass&quot; you mean freedom from counter-criticism, no I wouldn&#039;t expect that.  If on the other hand you define a &quot;pass&quot; as immunity from having your disease and your advocacy of finding a cure ridiculed and joked about, then I do think that we all as humans deserve a &quot;pass&quot; from that...even though I am not suggesting censorship.  It&#039;s called human decency.

Here is an example of human decency:  I attended a speech at a church by Gracia Burnham.  She was the one who, along with her husband, were kidnapped along with about a dozen other missionaries in the Phillipines by radical Islamists a number of years ago (She ended up eventually being freed, but her husband was murdered).  I didn&#039;t know what I was in for, but it basically turned out to be a celebration of the extreme right wing.   

In her case, as well as the case of Terry Schiavo, would it have been appropriate to go on the airwaves and make fun of them and their tragedies?  Would it have been decent to have sccused them of &quot;faking it&quot; to make political hay?

The difference, Jim, is that if a left wing media personality had done any of these Limbaugh-esque things, they would have been denounced by the right establishment and banned from the airwaves, Dixie Chicks-style.

However, if you are any one of the cornucopia of right wing hot air bags on the air, you are given a free pass.  That&#039;s one of the differences between us and them. 

The other difference?  It&#039;s called decency and respect.  Something the right doesn&#039;t quite have a handle on.</description>

		<description>You all are a bunch of stupid, ignorant, mindless, lost sheep.  I hope you liberals get the society you dream about.  Let liberal men marry liberal men, let liberal women marry liberal women, let liberal pregnant women kill their liberal babies, let liberal atheist remove the Ten Commandments, Christianity, and all morals and values from our country and eventually you all will murder each other and eventually force yourselves into extinction.  It&#039;s inevitable and I can&#039;t wait!!! You all will get what you ask for and deserve!!!</description>

		<description>Richard is homeless, living in his car, dying of diabetis and heart failure (but still eating boxes of nonuts and chocolates in swoop), just had cataract operations, is causing the taxpayer a fortune.  He has not worked in over 20 years and expects the government to take care of him; thus, all his diatribe against republicans.

I already got him on SSI and have put him up in motels at a cost of 0 per week.  He will not look for a room, but rather seeks out your column and porno sites.   Marc, I met you a couple of times at the book fair at UCLA.</description>

		<description>By the way, it is only appropriate that Fox has supported Cardin, for the same reason that Fox supported Republican Senator Arlen Spector in 2004:  Cardin supports and always has supported embryonic stem cell research.  The smear against Cardin supposedly suggesting that he didn&#039;t support stem cell research is a typical right wing lie.  Even Michael Steele his Republican opponent has never repeated this internet, oxy-moron originated lie.</description>

		<description>Michael Fox would have done stem cell research alot more good by promoting its promises, rather than using it to potentially defeat a political candidate, in the last days of an election btw. 

He opened himself up and threw himself into the ring of politics by doing his promoting this way. As I understand it, he specifically supported Cardin over Steele in the Maryland Senate race.

As the true statement goes, all is fair in war love, and politics. Rush&#039;s typical stupid and insensitive response actually helped Michael.

The question for the audience: does sympathic figures who insert themselves into this nasty arena, albeit very sincerely, ought to expect there will be insensitive and unkindly political pushback? Or do they they deserve a pass?</description>

		<description>Again, forget the Coulters and Limbaughs and consider how they made legitimate by the feeble challenges to what they say, or by not challenge them at all.

		<description>It is bizaare that prominent progressives even bother dignifying the likes of him and his fellow middle aged blonde counterpart by directly commenting on them or their dyspeptic rantings.  I prefer Tom Tomorrow&#039;s reference to them as &quot;The Scary Blonde Pundette&quot; and &quot;The Drug Addled Host&quot; 
http://www.workingforchange.com/comic.cfm?itemid=20975

As for the question, &quot;Is he really that dumb?&quot;, the answer is a resounding &quot;yes.&quot;  It&#039;s true that he and his ilk have brains enough to have much scorn for his own audience, which they certainly do.  However, American pop culture has always celebrated the least brightest and least talented.  I cannot even think of a radio media outlet here in the heartland of America, for example, that does not bore me with its banality.  I love visiting Canada because I can catch up on the actual news.

As was stated by a previous poster, oxy-moron&#039;s medical opinion snorts in relation to Fox won&#039;t change the view of the voting demographic whom Democratic operatives most covet.  The losers who make up oxy-moron&#039;s base of listeners are irrelevant in this election.  It is a case of preaching to the converted.

I will admit that it is interesting to note Fox&#039;s dignified and graceful response to this flunkie, but I don&#039;t believe that oxy-moron was worth even mentioning in the first place, since he and his crowd are non-entities.</description>

While I agree with the senitments written, I always get a little nervous around election time because this is the heartland we&#039;re talking about where production values rate way lower than family values.

But speaking of production values straight from the Atwater handbook is the Corker ad against Ford:

video.on.nytimes.com/ifr_main.jsp?nsid=b270dbb7b:10e82d03fd3:-3bf8&amp;fr_story=f503c8d9dc514acfb9e79bc6726b5b7fece48071&amp;st=1161838097516&amp;mp=FLV&amp;cpf=false&amp;fvn=9&amp;fr=031006_104425_w51bd0788x109e7460d63xw2703&amp;rdm=367394.83027131984

Why didn&#039;t they just give him a pimp hat?  You can check out other campaign ads as well at the NYT.

The Dems need either TN or VA to make the switch as well to take the Senate and all three races are mighty close.</description>

		<description>This thing you hear from time to time; that Rush is an embarrasment, that he doesn&#039;t really speak for conservatives, hmmm.... How do you square it with his wallpapered radio presence, and the fact that all major Republicans do his show? Wasn&#039;t Rummy on the other morning? Glad he&#039;s got the time. 

     What&#039;s a little sickening is the lordly treatment he gets whenever he does Russart, who seems to find him so endless charming he gets extra soft ball questions.</description>

		<description>Michael Fox would have done stem cell research alot more good by promoting its promises, rather than using it to potentially defeat a political candidate, in the last days of an election btw. 

He opened himself up and threw himself into the ring of politics by doing his promoting this way. As I understand it, he specifically supported Cardin over Steele in the Maryland Senate race.

As the true statement goes, all is fair in war love, and politics. Rush&#039;s typical stupid and insensitive response actually helped Michael.

The question for the audience: does sympathic figures who insert themselves into this nasty arena, albeit very sincerely, ought to expect there will be insensitive and unkindly political pushback? Or do they they deserve a pass?</description>

		<description>You all are a bunch of stupid, ignorant, mindless, lost sheep.  I hope you liberals get the society you dream about.  Let liberal men marry liberal men, let liberal women marry liberal women, let liberal pregnant women kill their liberal babies, let liberal atheist remove the Ten Commandments, Christianity, and all morals and values from our country and eventually you all will murder each other and eventually force yourselves into extinction.  It&#039;s inevitable and I can&#039;t wait!!! You all will get what you ask for and deserve!!!</description>

		<description>Richard is homeless, living in his car, dying of diabetis and heart failure (but still eating boxes of nonuts and chocolates in swoop), just had cataract operations, is causing the taxpayer a fortune.  He has not worked in over 20 years and expects the government to take care of him; thus, all his diatribe against republicans.

I already got him on SSI and have put him up in motels at a cost of 0 per week.  He will not look for a room, but rather seeks out your column and porno sites.   Marc, I met you a couple of times at the book fair at UCLA.</description>

		<description>By the way, it is only appropriate that Fox has supported Cardin, for the same reason that Fox supported Republican Senator Arlen Spector in 2004:  Cardin supports and always has supported embryonic stem cell research.  The smear against Cardin supposedly suggesting that he didn&#039;t support stem cell research is a typical right wing lie.  Even Michael Steele his Republican opponent has never repeated this internet, oxy-moron originated lie.</description>

		<description>If by &quot;pass&quot; you mean freedom from counter-criticism, no I wouldn&#039;t expect that.  If on the other hand you define a &quot;pass&quot; as immunity from having your disease and your advocacy of finding a cure ridiculed and joked about, then I do think that we all as humans deserve a &quot;pass&quot; from that...even though I am not suggesting censorship.  It&#039;s called human decency.

Here is an example of human decency:  I attended a speech at a church by Gracia Burnham.  She was the one who, along with her husband, were kidnapped along with about a dozen other missionaries in the Phillipines by radical Islamists a number of years ago (She ended up eventually being freed, but her husband was murdered).  I didn&#039;t know what I was in for, but it basically turned out to be a celebration of the extreme right wing.   

In her case, as well as the case of Terry Schiavo, would it have been appropriate to go on the airwaves and make fun of them and their tragedies?  Would it have been decent to have sccused them of &quot;faking it&quot; to make political hay?

The difference, Jim, is that if a left wing media personality had done any of these Limbaugh-esque things, they would have been denounced by the right establishment and banned from the airwaves, Dixie Chicks-style.

However, if you are any one of the cornucopia of right wing hot air bags on the air, you are given a free pass.  That&#039;s one of the differences between us and them. 

The other difference?  It&#039;s called decency and respect.  Something the right doesn&#039;t quite have a handle on.</description>

		<description>It is bizaare that prominent progressives even bother dignifying the likes of him and his fellow middle aged blonde counterpart by directly commenting on them or their dyspeptic rantings.  I prefer Tom Tomorrow&#039;s reference to them as &quot;The Scary Blonde Pundette&quot; and &quot;The Drug Addled Host&quot; 
http://www.workingforchange.com/comic.cfm?itemid=20975

As for the question, &quot;Is he really that dumb?&quot;, the answer is a resounding &quot;yes.&quot;  It&#039;s true that he and his ilk have brains enough to have much scorn for his own audience, which they certainly do.  However, American pop culture has always celebrated the least brightest and least talented.  I cannot even think of a radio media outlet here in the heartland of America, for example, that does not bore me with its banality.  I love visiting Canada because I can catch up on the actual news.

As was stated by a previous poster, oxy-moron&#039;s medical opinion snorts in relation to Fox won&#039;t change the view of the voting demographic whom Democratic operatives most covet.  The losers who make up oxy-moron&#039;s base of listeners are irrelevant in this election.  It is a case of preaching to the converted.

I will admit that it is interesting to note Fox&#039;s dignified and graceful response to this flunkie, but I don&#039;t believe that oxy-moron was worth even mentioning in the first place, since he and his crowd are non-entities.</description>

Thanks reg for the You Tube link, I thought you were joking that Mel&#039;s Jesus broke out with the Aramaic, but seeing is believing.  While I agree with the senitments written, I always get a little nervous around election time because this is the heartland we&#039;re talking about where production values rate way lower than family values.

But speaking of production values straight from the Atwater handbook is the Corker ad against Ford:

video.on.nytimes.com/ifr_main.jsp?nsid=b270dbb7b:10e82d03fd3:-3bf8&amp;fr_story=f503c8d9dc514acfb9e79bc6726b5b7fece48071&amp;st=1161838097516&amp;mp=FLV&amp;cpf=false&amp;fvn=9&amp;fr=031006_104425_w51bd0788x109e7460d63xw2703&amp;rdm=367394.83027131984

Why didn&#039;t they just give him a pimp hat?  You can check out other campaign ads as well at the NYT.

The Dems need either TN or VA to make the switch as well to take the Senate and all three races are mighty close.</description>

		<description>This thing you hear from time to time; that Rush is an embarrasment, that he doesn&#039;t really speak for conservatives, hmmm.... How do you square it with his wallpapered radio presence, and the fact that all major Republicans do his show? Wasn&#039;t Rummy on the other morning? Glad he&#039;s got the time. 

     What&#039;s a little sickening is the lordly treatment he gets whenever he does Russart, who seems to find him so endless charming he gets extra soft ball questions.</description>

		<description>You all are a bunch of stupid, ignorant, mindless, lost sheep.  I hope you liberals get the society you dream about.  Let liberal men marry liberal men, let liberal women marry liberal women, let liberal pregnant women kill their liberal babies, let liberal atheist remove the Ten Commandments, Christianity, and all morals and values from our country and eventually you all will murder each other and eventually force yourselves into extinction.  It&#039;s inevitable and I can&#039;t wait!!! You all will get what you ask for and deserve!!!</description>

		<description>Richard is homeless, living in his car, dying of diabetis and heart failure (but still eating boxes of nonuts and chocolates in swoop), just had cataract operations, is causing the taxpayer a fortune.  He has not worked in over 20 years and expects the government to take care of him; thus, all his diatribe against republicans.

I already got him on SSI and have put him up in motels at a cost of 0 per week.  He will not look for a room, but rather seeks out your column and porno sites.   Marc, I met you a couple of times at the book fair at UCLA.</description>

		<description>By the way, it is only appropriate that Fox has supported Cardin, for the same reason that Fox supported Republican Senator Arlen Spector in 2004:  Cardin supports and always has supported embryonic stem cell research.  The smear against Cardin supposedly suggesting that he didn&#039;t support stem cell research is a typical right wing lie.  Even Michael Steele his Republican opponent has never repeated this internet, oxy-moron originated lie.</description>

		<description>If by &quot;pass&quot; you mean freedom from counter-criticism, no I wouldn&#039;t expect that.  If on the other hand you define a &quot;pass&quot; as immunity from having your disease and your advocacy of finding a cure ridiculed and joked about, then I do think that we all as humans deserve a &quot;pass&quot; from that...even though I am not suggesting censorship.  It&#039;s called human decency.

Here is an example of human decency:  I attended a speech at a church by Gracia Burnham.  She was the one who, along with her husband, were kidnapped along with about a dozen other missionaries in the Phillipines by radical Islamists a number of years ago (She ended up eventually being freed, but her husband was murdered).  I didn&#039;t know what I was in for, but it basically turned out to be a celebration of the extreme right wing.   

In her case, as well as the case of Terry Schiavo, would it have been appropriate to go on the airwaves and make fun of them and their tragedies?  Would it have been decent to have sccused them of &quot;faking it&quot; to make political hay?

The difference, Jim, is that if a left wing media personality had done any of these Limbaugh-esque things, they would have been denounced by the right establishment and banned from the airwaves, Dixie Chicks-style.

However, if you are any one of the cornucopia of right wing hot air bags on the air, you are given a free pass.  That&#039;s one of the differences between us and them. 

The other difference?  It&#039;s called decency and respect.  Something the right doesn&#039;t quite have a handle on.</description>

		<description>Michael Fox would have done stem cell research alot more good by promoting its promises, rather than using it to potentially defeat a political candidate, in the last days of an election btw. 

He opened himself up and threw himself into the ring of politics by doing his promoting this way. As I understand it, he specifically supported Cardin over Steele in the Maryland Senate race.

As the true statement goes, all is fair in war love, and politics. Rush&#039;s typical stupid and insensitive response actually helped Michael.

The question for the audience: does sympathic figures who insert themselves into this nasty arena, albeit very sincerely, ought to expect there will be insensitive and unkindly political pushback? Or do they they deserve a pass?</description>

		<description>So its in Aramaic? Way to reach beyond the base. Reminds me of the story of the Boston Brahim who was studying Hebrew so that when he died he could talk to God in his own language!</description>

		<description>Re. David&#039;s comment, Michael Fox&#039;s response to Limbaugh
was incredibly dignified. He simply stated that he realized
that people who didn&#039;t live with it would have a hard time
understanding the disease.  What a contrast to the ugliness
of Limbaugh&#039;s soul on display...</description>

		<description>It is bizaare that prominent progressives even bother dignifying the likes of him and his fellow middle aged blonde counterpart by directly commenting on them or their dyspeptic rantings.  I prefer Tom Tomorrow&#039;s reference to them as &quot;The Scary Blonde Pundette&quot; and &quot;The Drug Addled Host&quot; 
http://www.workingforchange.com/comic.cfm?itemid=20975

As for the question, &quot;Is he really that dumb?&quot;, the answer is a resounding &quot;yes.&quot;  It&#039;s true that he and his ilk have brains enough to have much scorn for his own audience, which they certainly do.  However, American pop culture has always celebrated the least brightest and least talented.  I cannot even think of a radio media outlet here in the heartland of America, for example, that does not bore me with its banality.  I love visiting Canada because I can catch up on the actual news.

As was stated by a previous poster, oxy-moron&#039;s medical opinion snorts in relation to Fox won&#039;t change the view of the voting demographic whom Democratic operatives most covet.  The losers who make up oxy-moron&#039;s base of listeners are irrelevant in this election.  It is a case of preaching to the converted.

I will admit that it is interesting to note Fox&#039;s dignified and graceful response to this flunkie, but I don&#039;t believe that oxy-moron was worth even mentioning in the first place, since he and his crowd are non-entities.</description>

		<description>Cheesetastick!

Thanks reg for the You Tube link, I thought you were joking that Mel&#039;s Jesus broke out with the Aramaic, but seeing is believing.  While I agree with the senitments written, I always get a little nervous around election time because this is the heartland we&#039;re talking about where production values rate way lower than family values.

But speaking of production values straight from the Atwater handbook is the Corker ad against Ford:

video.on.nytimes.com/ifr_main.jsp?nsid=b270dbb7b:10e82d03fd3:-3bf8&amp;fr_story=f503c8d9dc514acfb9e79bc6726b5b7fece48071&amp;st=1161838097516&amp;mp=FLV&amp;cpf=false&amp;fvn=9&amp;fr=031006_104425_w51bd0788x109e7460d63xw2703&amp;rdm=367394.83027131984

Why didn&#039;t they just give him a pimp hat?  You can check out other campaign ads as well at the NYT.

The Dems need either TN or VA to make the switch as well to take the Senate and all three races are mighty close.</description>

		<description>This thing you hear from time to time; that Rush is an embarrasment, that he doesn&#039;t really speak for conservatives, hmmm.... How do you square it with his wallpapered radio presence, and the fact that all major Republicans do his show? Wasn&#039;t Rummy on the other morning? Glad he&#039;s got the time. 

     What&#039;s a little sickening is the lordly treatment he gets whenever he does Russart, who seems to find him so endless charming he gets extra soft ball questions.</description>

		<description>You all are a bunch of stupid, ignorant, mindless, lost sheep.  I hope you liberals get the society you dream about.  Let liberal men marry liberal men, let liberal women marry liberal women, let liberal pregnant women kill their liberal babies, let liberal atheist remove the Ten Commandments, Christianity, and all morals and values from our country and eventually you all will murder each other and eventually force yourselves into extinction.  It&#039;s inevitable and I can&#039;t wait!!! You all will get what you ask for and deserve!!!</description>

		<description>Richard is homeless, living in his car, dying of diabetis and heart failure (but still eating boxes of nonuts and chocolates in swoop), just had cataract operations, is causing the taxpayer a fortune.  He has not worked in over 20 years and expects the government to take care of him; thus, all his diatribe against republicans.

I already got him on SSI and have put him up in motels at a cost of 0 per week.  He will not look for a room, but rather seeks out your column and porno sites.   Marc, I met you a couple of times at the book fair at UCLA.</description>

		<description>By the way, it is only appropriate that Fox has supported Cardin, for the same reason that Fox supported Republican Senator Arlen Spector in 2004:  Cardin supports and always has supported embryonic stem cell research.  The smear against Cardin supposedly suggesting that he didn&#039;t support stem cell research is a typical right wing lie.  Even Michael Steele his Republican opponent has never repeated this internet, oxy-moron originated lie.</description>

		<description>If by &quot;pass&quot; you mean freedom from counter-criticism, no I wouldn&#039;t expect that.  If on the other hand you define a &quot;pass&quot; as immunity from having your disease and your advocacy of finding a cure ridiculed and joked about, then I do think that we all as humans deserve a &quot;pass&quot; from that...even though I am not suggesting censorship.  It&#039;s called human decency.

Here is an example of human decency:  I attended a speech at a church by Gracia Burnham.  She was the one who, along with her husband, were kidnapped along with about a dozen other missionaries in the Phillipines by radical Islamists a number of years ago (She ended up eventually being freed, but her husband was murdered).  I didn&#039;t know what I was in for, but it basically turned out to be a celebration of the extreme right wing.   

In her case, as well as the case of Terry Schiavo, would it have been appropriate to go on the airwaves and make fun of them and their tragedies?  Would it have been decent to have sccused them of &quot;faking it&quot; to make political hay?

The difference, Jim, is that if a left wing media personality had done any of these Limbaugh-esque things, they would have been denounced by the right establishment and banned from the airwaves, Dixie Chicks-style.

However, if you are any one of the cornucopia of right wing hot air bags on the air, you are given a free pass.  That&#039;s one of the differences between us and them. 

The other difference?  It&#039;s called decency and respect.  Something the right doesn&#039;t quite have a handle on.</description>

		<description>Michael Fox would have done stem cell research alot more good by promoting its promises, rather than using it to potentially defeat a political candidate, in the last days of an election btw. 

He opened himself up and threw himself into the ring of politics by doing his promoting this way. As I understand it, he specifically supported Cardin over Steele in the Maryland Senate race.

As the true statement goes, all is fair in war love, and politics. Rush&#039;s typical stupid and insensitive response actually helped Michael.

The question for the audience: does sympathic figures who insert themselves into this nasty arena, albeit very sincerely, ought to expect there will be insensitive and unkindly political pushback? Or do they they deserve a pass?</description>

		<description>Again, forget the Coulters and Limbaughs and consider how they made legitimate by the feeble challenges to what they say, or by not challenge them at all. 
   See Media Matters for Matt Lauer explaining on the today show how Fox got what he deserved, how Limbuagh &quot;just said what a lot of people were thinking.&quot;</description>

		<description>It is bizaare that prominent progressives even bother dignifying the likes of him and his fellow middle aged blonde counterpart by directly commenting on them or their dyspeptic rantings.  I prefer Tom Tomorrow&#039;s reference to them as &quot;The Scary Blonde Pundette&quot; and &quot;The Drug Addled Host&quot; 
http://www.workingforchange.com/comic.cfm?itemid=20975

As for the question, &quot;Is he really that dumb?&quot;, the answer is a resounding &quot;yes.&quot;  It&#039;s true that he and his ilk have brains enough to have much scorn for his own audience, which they certainly do.  However, American pop culture has always celebrated the least brightest and least talented.  I cannot even think of a radio media outlet here in the heartland of America, for example, that does not bore me with its banality.  I love visiting Canada because I can catch up on the actual news.

As was stated by a previous poster, oxy-moron&#039;s medical opinion snorts in relation to Fox won&#039;t change the view of the voting demographic whom Democratic operatives most covet.  The losers who make up oxy-moron&#039;s base of listeners are irrelevant in this election.  It is a case of preaching to the converted.

I will admit that it is interesting to note Fox&#039;s dignified and graceful response to this flunkie, but I don&#039;t believe that oxy-moron was worth even mentioning in the first place, since he and his crowd are non-entities.</description>

		<description>Cheesetastick!

Thanks reg for the You Tube link, I thought you were joking that Mel&#039;s Jesus broke out with the Aramaic, but seeing is believing.  While I agree with the senitments written, I always get a little nervous around election time because this is the heartland we&#039;re talking about where production values rate way lower than family values.

But speaking of production values straight from the Atwater handbook is the Corker ad against Ford:

video.on.nytimes.com/ifr_main.jsp?nsid=b270dbb7b:10e82d03fd3:-3bf8&amp;fr_story=f503c8d9dc514acfb9e79bc6726b5b7fece48071&amp;st=1161838097516&amp;mp=FLV&amp;cpf=false&amp;fvn=9&amp;fr=031006_104425_w51bd0788x109e7460d63xw2703&amp;rdm=367394.83027131984

Why didn&#039;t they just give him a pimp hat?  You can check out other campaign ads as well at the NYT.

The Dems need either TN or VA to make the switch as well to take the Senate and all three races are mighty close.</description>

		<description>This thing you hear from time to time; that Rush is an embarrasment, that he doesn&#039;t really speak for conservatives, hmmm.... How do you square it with his wallpapered radio presence, and the fact that all major Republicans do his show? Wasn&#039;t Rummy on the other morning? Glad he&#039;s got the time. 

     What&#039;s a little sickening is the lordly treatment he gets whenever he does Russart, who seems to find him so endless charming he gets extra soft ball questions.</description>

		<description>You all are a bunch of stupid, ignorant, mindless, lost sheep.  I hope you liberals get the society you dream about.  Let liberal men marry liberal men, let liberal women marry liberal women, let liberal pregnant women kill their liberal babies, let liberal atheist remove the Ten Commandments, Christianity, and all morals and values from our country and eventually you all will murder each other and eventually force yourselves into extinction.  It&#039;s inevitable and I can&#039;t wait!!! You all will get what you ask for and deserve!!!</description>

		<description>Richard is homeless, living in his car, dying of diabetis and heart failure (but still eating boxes of nonuts and chocolates in swoop), just had cataract operations, is causing the taxpayer a fortune.  He has not worked in over 20 years and expects the government to take care of him; thus, all his diatribe against republicans.

I already got him on SSI and have put him up in motels at a cost of 0 per week.  He will not look for a room, but rather seeks out your column and porno sites.   Marc, I met you a couple of times at the book fair at UCLA.</description>

		<description>By the way, it is only appropriate that Fox has supported Cardin, for the same reason that Fox supported Republican Senator Arlen Spector in 2004:  Cardin supports and always has supported embryonic stem cell research.  The smear against Cardin supposedly suggesting that he didn&#039;t support stem cell research is a typical right wing lie.  Even Michael Steele his Republican opponent has never repeated this internet, oxy-moron originated lie.</description>

		<description>If by &quot;pass&quot; you mean freedom from counter-criticism, no I wouldn&#039;t expect that.  If on the other hand you define a &quot;pass&quot; as immunity from having your disease and your advocacy of finding a cure ridiculed and joked about, then I do think that we all as humans deserve a &quot;pass&quot; from that...even though I am not suggesting censorship.  It&#039;s called human decency.

Here is an example of human decency:  I attended a speech at a church by Gracia Burnham.  She was the one who, along with her husband, were kidnapped along with about a dozen other missionaries in the Phillipines by radical Islamists a number of years ago (She ended up eventually being freed, but her husband was murdered).  I didn&#039;t know what I was in for, but it basically turned out to be a celebration of the extreme right wing.   

In her case, as well as the case of Terry Schiavo, would it have been appropriate to go on the airwaves and make fun of them and their tragedies?  Would it have been decent to have sccused them of &quot;faking it&quot; to make political hay?

The difference, Jim, is that if a left wing media personality had done any of these Limbaugh-esque things, they would have been denounced by the right establishment and banned from the airwaves, Dixie Chicks-style.

However, if you are any one of the cornucopia of right wing hot air bags on the air, you are given a free pass.  That&#039;s one of the differences between us and them. 

The other difference?  It&#039;s called decency and respect.  Something the right doesn&#039;t quite have a handle on.</description>

		<description>Michael Fox would have done stem cell research alot more good by promoting its promises, rather than using it to potentially defeat a political candidate, in the last days of an election btw. 

He opened himself up and threw himself into the ring of politics by doing his promoting this way. As I understand it, he specifically supported Cardin over Steele in the Maryland Senate race.

As the true statement goes, all is fair in war love, and politics. Rush&#039;s typical stupid and insensitive response actually helped Michael.

The question for the audience: does sympathic figures who insert themselves into this nasty arena, albeit very sincerely, ought to expect there will be insensitive and unkindly political pushback? Or do they they deserve a pass?</description>

		<description>Again, forget the Coulters and Limbaughs and consider how they made legitimate by the feeble challenges to what they say, or by not challenge them at all.

		<description>It is bizaare that prominent progressives even bother dignifying the likes of him and his fellow middle aged blonde counterpart by directly commenting on them or their dyspeptic rantings.  I prefer Tom Tomorrow&#039;s reference to them as &quot;The Scary Blonde Pundette&quot; and &quot;The Drug Addled Host&quot; 
http://www.workingforchange.com/comic.cfm?itemid=20975

As for the question, &quot;Is he really that dumb?&quot;, the answer is a resounding &quot;yes.&quot;  It&#039;s true that he and his ilk have brains enough to have much scorn for his own audience, which they certainly do.  However, American pop culture has always celebrated the least brightest and least talented.  I cannot even think of a radio media outlet here in the heartland of America, for example, that does not bore me with its banality.  I love visiting Canada because I can catch up on the actual news.

As was stated by a previous poster, oxy-moron&#039;s medical opinion snorts in relation to Fox won&#039;t change the view of the voting demographic whom Democratic operatives most covet.  The losers who make up oxy-moron&#039;s base of listeners are irrelevant in this election.  It is a case of preaching to the converted.

I will admit that it is interesting to note Fox&#039;s dignified and graceful response to this flunkie, but I don&#039;t believe that oxy-moron was worth even mentioning in the first place, since he and his crowd are non-entities.</description>

		<description>Cheesetastick!

Thanks reg for the You Tube link, I thought you were joking that Mel&#039;s Jesus broke out with the Aramaic, but seeing is believing.  While I agree with the senitments written, I always get a little nervous around election time because this is the heartland we&#039;re talking about where production values rate way lower than family values.

But speaking of production values straight from the Atwater handbook is the Corker ad against Ford:

video.on.nytimes.com/ifr_main.jsp?nsid=b270dbb7b:10e82d03fd3:-3bf8&amp;fr_story=f503c8d9dc514acfb9e79bc6726b5b7fece48071&amp;st=1161838097516&amp;mp=FLV&amp;cpf=false&amp;fvn=9&amp;fr=031006_104425_w51bd0788x109e7460d63xw2703&amp;rdm=367394.83027131984

Why didn&#039;t they just give him a pimp hat?  You can check out other campaign ads as well at the NYT.

The Dems need either TN or VA to make the switch as well to take the Senate and all three races are mighty close.</description>

		<description>This thing you hear from time to time; that Rush is an embarrasment, that he doesn&#039;t really speak for conservatives, hmmm.... How do you square it with his wallpapered radio presence, and the fact that all major Republicans do his show? Wasn&#039;t Rummy on the other morning? Glad he&#039;s got the time. 

     What&#039;s a little sickening is the lordly treatment he gets whenever he does Russart, who seems to find him so endless charming he gets extra soft ball questions.</description>

		<description>You all are a bunch of stupid, ignorant, mindless, lost sheep.  I hope you liberals get the society you dream about.  Let liberal men marry liberal men, let liberal women marry liberal women, let liberal pregnant women kill their liberal babies, let liberal atheist remove the Ten Commandments, Christianity, and all morals and values from our country and eventually you all will murder each other and eventually force yourselves into extinction.  It&#039;s inevitable and I can&#039;t wait!!! You all will get what you ask for and deserve!!!</description>

		<description>Richard is homeless, living in his car, dying of diabetis and heart failure (but still eating boxes of nonuts and chocolates in swoop), just had cataract operations, is causing the taxpayer a fortune.  He has not worked in over 20 years and expects the government to take care of him; thus, all his diatribe against republicans.

I already got him on SSI and have put him up in motels at a cost of 0 per week.  He will not look for a room, but rather seeks out your column and porno sites.   Marc, I met you a couple of times at the book fair at UCLA.</description>

		<description>By the way, it is only appropriate that Fox has supported Cardin, for the same reason that Fox supported Republican Senator Arlen Spector in 2004:  Cardin supports and always has supported embryonic stem cell research.  The smear against Cardin supposedly suggesting that he didn&#039;t support stem cell research is a typical right wing lie.  Even Michael Steele his Republican opponent has never repeated this internet, oxy-moron originated lie.</description>

		<description>If by &quot;pass&quot; you mean freedom from counter-criticism, no I wouldn&#039;t expect that.  If on the other hand you define a &quot;pass&quot; as immunity from having your disease and your advocacy of finding a cure ridiculed and joked about, then I do think that we all as humans deserve a &quot;pass&quot; from that...even though I am not suggesting censorship.  It&#039;s called human decency.

Here is an example of human decency:  I attended a speech at a church by Gracia Burnham.  She was the one who, along with her husband, were kidnapped along with about a dozen other missionaries in the Phillipines by radical Islamists a number of years ago (She ended up eventually being freed, but her husband was murdered).  I didn&#039;t know what I was in for, but it basically turned out to be a celebration of the extreme right wing.   

In her case, as well as the case of Terry Schiavo, would it have been appropriate to go on the airwaves and make fun of them and their tragedies?  Would it have been decent to have sccused them of &quot;faking it&quot; to make political hay?

The difference, Jim, is that if a left wing media personality had done any of these Limbaugh-esque things, they would have been denounced by the right establishment and banned from the airwaves, Dixie Chicks-style.

However, if you are any one of the cornucopia of right wing hot air bags on the air, you are given a free pass.  That&#039;s one of the differences between us and them. 

The other difference?  It&#039;s called decency and respect.  Something the right doesn&#039;t quite have a handle on.</description>

		<description>Michael Fox would have done stem cell research alot more good by promoting its promises, rather than using it to potentially defeat a political candidate, in the last days of an election btw. 

He opened himself up and threw himself into the ring of politics by doing his promoting this way. As I understand it, he specifically supported Cardin over Steele in the Maryland Senate race.

As the true statement goes, all is fair in war love, and politics. Rush&#039;s typical stupid and insensitive response actually helped Michael.

The question for the audience: does sympathic figures who insert themselves into this nasty arena, albeit very sincerely, ought to expect there will be insensitive and unkindly political pushback? Or do they they deserve a pass?</description>

		<description>It is bizaare that prominent progressives even bother dignifying the likes of him and his fellow middle aged blonde counterpart by directly commenting on them or their dyspeptic rantings.  I prefer Tom Tomorrow&#039;s reference to them as &quot;The Scary Blonde Pundette&quot; and &quot;The Drug Addled Host&quot; 
http://www.workingforchange.com/comic.cfm?itemid=20975

As for the question, &quot;Is he really that dumb?&quot;, the answer is a resounding &quot;yes.&quot;  It&#039;s true that he and his ilk have brains enough to have much scorn for his own audience, which they certainly do.  However, American pop culture has always celebrated the least brightest and least talented.  I cannot even think of a radio media outlet here in the heartland of America, for example, that does not bore me with its banality.  I love visiting Canada because I can catch up on the actual news.

As was stated by a previous poster, oxy-moron&#039;s medical opinion snorts in relation to Fox won&#039;t change the view of the voting demographic whom Democratic operatives most covet.  The losers who make up oxy-moron&#039;s base of listeners are irrelevant in this election.  It is a case of preaching to the converted.

I will admit that it is interesting to note Fox&#039;s dignified and graceful response to this flunkie, but I don&#039;t believe that oxy-moron was worth even mentioning in the first place, since he and his crowd are non-entities.</description>

		<description>Cheesetastick!

Thanks reg for the You Tube link, I thought you were joking that Mel&#039;s Jesus broke out with the Aramaic, but seeing is believing.  While I agree with the senitments written, I always get a little nervous around election time because this is the heartland we&#039;re talking about where production values rate way lower than family values.

But speaking of production values straight from the Atwater handbook is the Corker ad against Ford:

video.on.nytimes.com/ifr_main.jsp?nsid=b270dbb7b:10e82d03fd3:-3bf8&amp;fr_story=f503c8d9dc514acfb9e79bc6726b5b7fece48071&amp;st=1161838097516&amp;mp=FLV&amp;cpf=false&amp;fvn=9&amp;fr=031006_104425_w51bd0788x109e7460d63xw2703&amp;rdm=367394.83027131984

Why didn&#039;t they just give him a pimp hat?  You can check out other campaign ads as well at the NYT.

The Dems need either TN or VA to make the switch as well to take the Senate and all three races are mighty close.</description>

		<description>This thing you hear from time to time; that Rush is an embarrasment, that he doesn&#039;t really speak for conservatives, hmmm.... How do you square it with his wallpapered radio presence, and the fact that all major Republicans do his show? Wasn&#039;t Rummy on the other morning? Glad he&#039;s got the time. 

     What&#039;s a little sickening is the lordly treatment he gets whenever he does Russart, who seems to find him so endless charming he gets extra soft ball questions.</description>

		<description>You all are a bunch of stupid, ignorant, mindless, lost sheep.  I hope you liberals get the society you dream about.  Let liberal men marry liberal men, let liberal women marry liberal women, let liberal pregnant women kill their liberal babies, let liberal atheist remove the Ten Commandments, Christianity, and all morals and values from our country and eventually you all will murder each other and eventually force yourselves into extinction.  It&#039;s inevitable and I can&#039;t wait!!! You all will get what you ask for and deserve!!!</description>

		<description>Richard is homeless, living in his car, dying of diabetis and heart failure (but still eating boxes of nonuts and chocolates in swoop), just had cataract operations, is causing the taxpayer a fortune.  He has not worked in over 20 years and expects the government to take care of him; thus, all his diatribe against republicans.

I already got him on SSI and have put him up in motels at a cost of 0 per week.  He will not look for a room, but rather seeks out your column and porno sites.   Marc, I met you a couple of times at the book fair at UCLA.</description>

		<description>By the way, it is only appropriate that Fox has supported Cardin, for the same reason that Fox supported Republican Senator Arlen Spector in 2004:  Cardin supports and always has supported embryonic stem cell research.  The smear against Cardin supposedly suggesting that he didn&#039;t support stem cell research is a typical right wing lie.  Even Michael Steele his Republican opponent has never repeated this internet, oxy-moron originated lie.</description>

		<description>If by &quot;pass&quot; you mean freedom from counter-criticism, no I wouldn&#039;t expect that.  If on the other hand you define a &quot;pass&quot; as immunity from having your disease and your advocacy of finding a cure ridiculed and joked about, then I do think that we all as humans deserve a &quot;pass&quot; from that...even though I am not suggesting censorship.  It&#039;s called human decency.

Here is an example of human decency:  I attended a speech at a church by Gracia Burnham.  She was the one who, along with her husband, were kidnapped along with about a dozen other missionaries in the Phillipines by radical Islamists a number of years ago (She ended up eventually being freed, but her husband was murdered).  I didn&#039;t know what I was in for, but it basically turned out to be a celebration of the extreme right wing.   

In her case, as well as the case of Terry Schiavo, would it have been appropriate to go on the airwaves and make fun of them and their tragedies?  Would it have been decent to have sccused them of &quot;faking it&quot; to make political hay?

The difference, Jim, is that if a left wing media personality had done any of these Limbaugh-esque things, they would have been denounced by the right establishment and banned from the airwaves, Dixie Chicks-style.

However, if you are any one of the cornucopia of right wing hot air bags on the air, you are given a free pass.  That&#039;s one of the differences between us and them. 

The other difference?  It&#039;s called decency and respect.  Something the right doesn&#039;t quite have a handle on.</description>

		<description>Michael Fox would have done stem cell research alot more good by promoting its promises, rather than using it to potentially defeat a political candidate, in the last days of an election btw. 

He opened himself up and threw himself into the ring of politics by doing his promoting this way. As I understand it, he specifically supported Cardin over Steele in the Maryland Senate race.

As the true statement goes, all is fair in war love, and politics. Rush&#039;s typical stupid and insensitive response actually helped Michael.

The question for the audience: does sympathic figures who insert themselves into this nasty arena, albeit very sincerely, ought to expect there will be insensitive and unkindly political pushback? Or do they they deserve a pass?</description>

		<description>Again, forget the Coulters and Limbaughs and consider how they made legitimate by the feeble challenges to what they say, or by not challenge them at all. 
   See Media Matters for Matt Lauer explaining on the today show how Fox got what he deserved, how Limbuagh &quot;just said what a lot of people were thinking.&quot;</description>

		<description>It is bizaare that prominent progressives even bother dignifying the likes of him and his fellow middle aged blonde counterpart by directly commenting on them or their dyspeptic rantings.  I prefer Tom Tomorrow&#039;s reference to them as &quot;The Scary Blonde Pundette&quot; and &quot;The Drug Addled Host&quot; 
http://www.workingforchange.com/comic.cfm?itemid=20975

As for the question, &quot;Is he really that dumb?&quot;, the answer is a resounding &quot;yes.&quot;  It&#039;s true that he and his ilk have brains enough to have much scorn for his own audience, which they certainly do.  However, American pop culture has always celebrated the least brightest and least talented.  I cannot even think of a radio media outlet here in the heartland of America, for example, that does not bore me with its banality.  I love visiting Canada because I can catch up on the actual news.

As was stated by a previous poster, oxy-moron&#039;s medical opinion snorts in relation to Fox won&#039;t change the view of the voting demographic whom Democratic operatives most covet.  The losers who make up oxy-moron&#039;s base of listeners are irrelevant in this election.  It is a case of preaching to the converted.

I will admit that it is interesting to note Fox&#039;s dignified and graceful response to this flunkie, but I don&#039;t believe that oxy-moron was worth even mentioning in the first place, since he and his crowd are non-entities.</description>

Thanks reg for the You Tube link, I thought you were joking that Mel&#039;s Jesus broke out with the Aramaic, but seeing is believing.  While I agree with the senitments written, I always get a little nervous around election time because this is the heartland we&#039;re talking about where production values rate way lower than family values.

But speaking of production values straight from the Atwater handbook is the Corker ad against Ford:

video.on.nytimes.com/ifr_main.jsp?nsid=b270dbb7b:10e82d03fd3:-3bf8&amp;fr_story=f503c8d9dc514acfb9e79bc6726b5b7fece48071&amp;st=1161838097516&amp;mp=FLV&amp;cpf=false&amp;fvn=9&amp;fr=031006_104425_w51bd0788x109e7460d63xw2703&amp;rdm=367394.83027131984

Why didn&#039;t they just give him a pimp hat?  You can check out other campaign ads as well at the NYT.

The Dems need either TN or VA to make the switch as well to take the Senate and all three races are mighty close.</description>

		<description>This thing you hear from time to time; that Rush is an embarrasment, that he doesn&#039;t really speak for conservatives, hmmm.... How do you square it with his wallpapered radio presence, and the fact that all major Republicans do his show? Wasn&#039;t Rummy on the other morning? Glad he&#039;s got the time. 

     What&#039;s a little sickening is the lordly treatment he gets whenever he does Russart, who seems to find him so endless charming he gets extra soft ball questions.</description>

		<description>You all are a bunch of stupid, ignorant, mindless, lost sheep.  I hope you liberals get the society you dream about.  Let liberal men marry liberal men, let liberal women marry liberal women, let liberal pregnant women kill their liberal babies, let liberal atheist remove the Ten Commandments, Christianity, and all morals and values from our country and eventually you all will murder each other and eventually force yourselves into extinction.  It&#039;s inevitable and I can&#039;t wait!!! You all will get what you ask for and deserve!!!</description>

		<description>Richard is homeless, living in his car, dying of diabetis and heart failure (but still eating boxes of nonuts and chocolates in swoop), just had cataract operations, is causing the taxpayer a fortune.  He has not worked in over 20 years and expects the government to take care of him; thus, all his diatribe against republicans.

I already got him on SSI and have put him up in motels at a cost of 0 per week.  He will not look for a room, but rather seeks out your column and porno sites.   Marc, I met you a couple of times at the book fair at UCLA.</description>

		<description>By the way, it is only appropriate that Fox has supported Cardin, for the same reason that Fox supported Republican Senator Arlen Spector in 2004:  Cardin supports and always has supported embryonic stem cell research.  The smear against Cardin supposedly suggesting that he didn&#039;t support stem cell research is a typical right wing lie.  Even Michael Steele his Republican opponent has never repeated this internet, oxy-moron originated lie.</description>

		<description>If by &quot;pass&quot; you mean freedom from counter-criticism, no I wouldn&#039;t expect that.  If on the other hand you define a &quot;pass&quot; as immunity from having your disease and your advocacy of finding a cure ridiculed and joked about, then I do think that we all as humans deserve a &quot;pass&quot; from that...even though I am not suggesting censorship.  It&#039;s called human decency.

Here is an example of human decency:  I attended a speech at a church by Gracia Burnham.  She was the one who, along with her husband, were kidnapped along with about a dozen other missionaries in the Phillipines by radical Islamists a number of years ago (She ended up eventually being freed, but her husband was murdered).  I didn&#039;t know what I was in for, but it basically turned out to be a celebration of the extreme right wing.   

In her case, as well as the case of Terry Schiavo, would it have been appropriate to go on the airwaves and make fun of them and their tragedies?  Would it have been decent to have sccused them of &quot;faking it&quot; to make political hay?

The difference, Jim, is that if a left wing media personality had done any of these Limbaugh-esque things, they would have been denounced by the right establishment and banned from the airwaves, Dixie Chicks-style.

However, if you are any one of the cornucopia of right wing hot air bags on the air, you are given a free pass.  That&#039;s one of the differences between us and them. 

The other difference?  It&#039;s called decency and respect.  Something the right doesn&#039;t quite have a handle on.</description>

		<description>Michael Fox would have done stem cell research alot more good by promoting its promises, rather than using it to potentially defeat a political candidate, in the last days of an election btw. 

He opened himself up and threw himself into the ring of politics by doing his promoting this way. As I understand it, he specifically supported Cardin over Steele in the Maryland Senate race.

As the true statement goes, all is fair in war love, and politics. Rush&#039;s typical stupid and insensitive response actually helped Michael.

The question for the audience: does sympathic figures who insert themselves into this nasty arena, albeit very sincerely, ought to expect there will be insensitive and unkindly political pushback? Or do they they deserve a pass?</description>

		<description>Again, forget the Coulters and Limbaughs and consider how they made legitimate by the feeble challenges to what they say, or by not challenge them at all.

		<description>It is bizaare that prominent progressives even bother dignifying the likes of him and his fellow middle aged blonde counterpart by directly commenting on them or their dyspeptic rantings.  I prefer Tom Tomorrow&#039;s reference to them as &quot;The Scary Blonde Pundette&quot; and &quot;The Drug Addled Host&quot; 
http://www.workingforchange.com/comic.cfm?itemid=20975

As for the question, &quot;Is he really that dumb?&quot;, the answer is a resounding &quot;yes.&quot;  It&#039;s true that he and his ilk have brains enough to have much scorn for his own audience, which they certainly do.  However, American pop culture has always celebrated the least brightest and least talented.  I cannot even think of a radio media outlet here in the heartland of America, for example, that does not bore me with its banality.  I love visiting Canada because I can catch up on the actual news.

As was stated by a previous poster, oxy-moron&#039;s medical opinion snorts in relation to Fox won&#039;t change the view of the voting demographic whom Democratic operatives most covet.  The losers who make up oxy-moron&#039;s base of listeners are irrelevant in this election.  It is a case of preaching to the converted.

I will admit that it is interesting to note Fox&#039;s dignified and graceful response to this flunkie, but I don&#039;t believe that oxy-moron was worth even mentioning in the first place, since he and his crowd are non-entities.</description>

Thanks reg for the You Tube link, I thought you were joking that Mel&#039;s Jesus broke out with the Aramaic, but seeing is believing.  While I agree with the senitments written, I always get a little nervous around election time because this is the heartland we&#039;re talking about where production values rate way lower than family values.

But speaking of production values straight from the Atwater handbook is the Corker ad against Ford:

video.on.nytimes.com/ifr_main.jsp?nsid=b270dbb7b:10e82d03fd3:-3bf8&amp;fr_story=f503c8d9dc514acfb9e79bc6726b5b7fece48071&amp;st=1161838097516&amp;mp=FLV&amp;cpf=false&amp;fvn=9&amp;fr=031006_104425_w51bd0788x109e7460d63xw2703&amp;rdm=367394.83027131984

Why didn&#039;t they just give him a pimp hat?  You can check out other campaign ads as well at the NYT.

The Dems need either TN or VA to make the switch as well to take the Senate and all three races are mighty close.</description>

		<description>This thing you hear from time to time; that Rush is an embarrasment, that he doesn&#039;t really speak for conservatives, hmmm.... How do you square it with his wallpapered radio presence, and the fact that all major Republicans do his show? Wasn&#039;t Rummy on the other morning? Glad he&#039;s got the time. 

     What&#039;s a little sickening is the lordly treatment he gets whenever he does Russart, who seems to find him so endless charming he gets extra soft ball questions.</description>

		<description>It is bizaare that prominent progressives even bother dignifying the likes of him and his fellow middle aged blonde counterpart by directly commenting on them or their dyspeptic rantings.  I prefer Tom Tomorrow&#039;s reference to them as &quot;The Scary Blonde Pundette&quot; and &quot;The Drug Addled Host&quot; 
http://www.workingforchange.com/comic.cfm?itemid=20975

As for the question, &quot;Is he really that dumb?&quot;, the answer is a resounding &quot;yes.&quot;  It&#039;s true that he and his ilk have brains enough to have much scorn for his own audience, which they certainly do.  However, American pop culture has always celebrated the least brightest and least talented.  I cannot even think of a radio media outlet here in the heartland of America, for example, that does not bore me with its banality.  I love visiting Canada because I can catch up on the actual news.

As was stated by a previous poster, oxy-moron&#039;s medical opinion snorts in relation to Fox won&#039;t change the view of the voting demographic whom Democratic operatives most covet.  The losers who make up oxy-moron&#039;s base of listeners are irrelevant in this election.  It is a case of preaching to the converted.

I will admit that it is interesting to note Fox&#039;s dignified and graceful response to this flunkie, but I don&#039;t believe that oxy-moron was worth even mentioning in the first place, since he and his crowd are non-entities.</description>

		<description>You all are a bunch of stupid, ignorant, mindless, lost sheep.  I hope you liberals get the society you dream about.  Let liberal men marry liberal men, let liberal women marry liberal women, let liberal pregnant women kill their liberal babies, let liberal atheist remove the Ten Commandments, Christianity, and all morals and values from our country and eventually you all will murder each other and eventually force yourselves into extinction.  It&#039;s inevitable and I can&#039;t wait!!! You all will get what you ask for and deserve!!!</description>

		<description>Richard is homeless, living in his car, dying of diabetis and heart failure (but still eating boxes of nonuts and chocolates in swoop), just had cataract operations, is causing the taxpayer a fortune.  He has not worked in over 20 years and expects the government to take care of him; thus, all his diatribe against republicans.

I already got him on SSI and have put him up in motels at a cost of 0 per week.  He will not look for a room, but rather seeks out your column and porno sites.   Marc, I met you a couple of times at the book fair at UCLA.</description>

		<description>By the way, it is only appropriate that Fox has supported Cardin, for the same reason that Fox supported Republican Senator Arlen Spector in 2004:  Cardin supports and always has supported embryonic stem cell research.  The smear against Cardin supposedly suggesting that he didn&#039;t support stem cell research is a typical right wing lie.  Even Michael Steele his Republican opponent has never repeated this internet, oxy-moron originated lie.</description>

		<description>If by &quot;pass&quot; you mean freedom from counter-criticism, no I wouldn&#039;t expect that.  If on the other hand you define a &quot;pass&quot; as immunity from having your disease and your advocacy of finding a cure ridiculed and joked about, then I do think that we all as humans deserve a &quot;pass&quot; from that...even though I am not suggesting censorship.  It&#039;s called human decency.

Here is an example of human decency:  I attended a speech at a church by Gracia Burnham.  She was the one who, along with her husband, were kidnapped along with about a dozen other missionaries in the Phillipines by radical Islamists a number of years ago (She ended up eventually being freed, but her husband was murdered).  I didn&#039;t know what I was in for, but it basically turned out to be a celebration of the extreme right wing.   

In her case, as well as the case of Terry Schiavo, would it have been appropriate to go on the airwaves and make fun of them and their tragedies?  Would it have been decent to have sccused them of &quot;faking it&quot; to make political hay?

The difference, Jim, is that if a left wing media personality had done any of these Limbaugh-esque things, they would have been denounced by the right establishment and banned from the airwaves, Dixie Chicks-style.

However, if you are any one of the cornucopia of right wing hot air bags on the air, you are given a free pass.  That&#039;s one of the differences between us and them. 

The other difference?  It&#039;s called decency and respect.  Something the right doesn&#039;t quite have a handle on.</description>

		<description>Michael Fox would have done stem cell research alot more good by promoting its promises, rather than using it to potentially defeat a political candidate, in the last days of an election btw. 

He opened himself up and threw himself into the ring of politics by doing his promoting this way. As I understand it, he specifically supported Cardin over Steele in the Maryland Senate race.

As the true statement goes, all is fair in war love, and politics. Rush&#039;s typical stupid and insensitive response actually helped Michael.

The question for the audience: does sympathic figures who insert themselves into this nasty arena, albeit very sincerely, ought to expect there will be insensitive and unkindly political pushback? Or do they they deserve a pass?</description>

was incredibly dignified. He simply stated that he realized
that people who didn&#039;t live with it would have a hard time

that people who didn&#8217;t live with it would have a hard time<br />
understanding the disease.  What a contrast to the ugliness<br />
of Limbaugh&#8217;s soul on display&#8230;</p>

		<description>It is bizaare that prominent progressives even bother dignifying the likes of him and his fellow middle aged blonde counterpart by directly commenting on them or their dyspeptic rantings.  I prefer Tom Tomorrow&#039;s reference to them as &quot;The Scary Blonde Pundette&quot; and &quot;The Drug Addled Host&quot; 
http://www.workingforchange.com/comic.cfm?itemid=20975

As for the question, &quot;Is he really that dumb?&quot;, the answer is a resounding &quot;yes.&quot;  It&#039;s true that he and his ilk have brains enough to have much scorn for his own audience, which they certainly do.  However, American pop culture has always celebrated the least brightest and least talented.  I cannot even think of a radio media outlet here in the heartland of America, for example, that does not bore me with its banality.  I love visiting Canada because I can catch up on the actual news.

As was stated by a previous poster, oxy-moron&#039;s medical opinion snorts in relation to Fox won&#039;t change the view of the voting demographic whom Democratic operatives most covet.  The losers who make up oxy-moron&#039;s base of listeners are irrelevant in this election.  It is a case of preaching to the converted.

I will admit that it is interesting to note Fox&#039;s dignified and graceful response to this flunkie, but I don&#039;t believe that oxy-moron was worth even mentioning in the first place, since he and his crowd are non-entities.</description>

Thanks reg for the You Tube link, I thought you were joking that Mel&#039;s Jesus broke out with the Aramaic, but seeing is believing.  While I agree with the senitments written, I always get a little nervous around election time because this is the heartland we&#039;re talking about where production values rate way lower than family values.

But speaking of production values straight from the Atwater handbook is the Corker ad against Ford:

video.on.nytimes.com/ifr_main.jsp?nsid=b270dbb7b:10e82d03fd3:-3bf8&amp;fr_story=f503c8d9dc514acfb9e79bc6726b5b7fece48071&amp;st=1161838097516&amp;mp=FLV&amp;cpf=false&amp;fvn=9&amp;fr=031006_104425_w51bd0788x109e7460d63xw2703&amp;rdm=367394.83027131984

Why didn&#039;t they just give him a pimp hat?  You can check out other campaign ads as well at the NYT.

The Dems need either TN or VA to make the switch as well to take the Senate and all three races are mighty close.</description>

		<description>This thing you hear from time to time; that Rush is an embarrasment, that he doesn&#039;t really speak for conservatives, hmmm.... How do you square it with his wallpapered radio presence, and the fact that all major Republicans do his show? Wasn&#039;t Rummy on the other morning? Glad he&#039;s got the time. 

     What&#039;s a little sickening is the lordly treatment he gets whenever he does Russart, who seems to find him so endless charming he gets extra soft ball questions.</description>

		<description>You all are a bunch of stupid, ignorant, mindless, lost sheep.  I hope you liberals get the society you dream about.  Let liberal men marry liberal men, let liberal women marry liberal women, let liberal pregnant women kill their liberal babies, let liberal atheist remove the Ten Commandments, Christianity, and all morals and values from our country and eventually you all will murder each other and eventually force yourselves into extinction.  It&#039;s inevitable and I can&#039;t wait!!! You all will get what you ask for and deserve!!!</description>

		<description>Richard is homeless, living in his car, dying of diabetis and heart failure (but still eating boxes of nonuts and chocolates in swoop), just had cataract operations, is causing the taxpayer a fortune.  He has not worked in over 20 years and expects the government to take care of him; thus, all his diatribe against republicans.

I already got him on SSI and have put him up in motels at a cost of 0 per week.  He will not look for a room, but rather seeks out your column and porno sites.   Marc, I met you a couple of times at the book fair at UCLA.</description>

		<description>By the way, it is only appropriate that Fox has supported Cardin, for the same reason that Fox supported Republican Senator Arlen Spector in 2004:  Cardin supports and always has supported embryonic stem cell research.  The smear against Cardin supposedly suggesting that he didn&#039;t support stem cell research is a typical right wing lie.  Even Michael Steele his Republican opponent has never repeated this internet, oxy-moron originated lie.</description>

		<description>If by &quot;pass&quot; you mean freedom from counter-criticism, no I wouldn&#039;t expect that.  If on the other hand you define a &quot;pass&quot; as immunity from having your disease and your advocacy of finding a cure ridiculed and joked about, then I do think that we all as humans deserve a &quot;pass&quot; from that...even though I am not suggesting censorship.  It&#039;s called human decency.

Here is an example of human decency:  I attended a speech at a church by Gracia Burnham.  She was the one who, along with her husband, were kidnapped along with about a dozen other missionaries in the Phillipines by radical Islamists a number of years ago (She ended up eventually being freed, but her husband was murdered).  I didn&#039;t know what I was in for, but it basically turned out to be a celebration of the extreme right wing.   

In her case, as well as the case of Terry Schiavo, would it have been appropriate to go on the airwaves and make fun of them and their tragedies?  Would it have been decent to have sccused them of &quot;faking it&quot; to make political hay?

The difference, Jim, is that if a left wing media personality had done any of these Limbaugh-esque things, they would have been denounced by the right establishment and banned from the airwaves, Dixie Chicks-style.

However, if you are any one of the cornucopia of right wing hot air bags on the air, you are given a free pass.  That&#039;s one of the differences between us and them. 

The other difference?  It&#039;s called decency and respect.  Something the right doesn&#039;t quite have a handle on.</description>

		<description>Michael Fox would have done stem cell research alot more good by promoting its promises, rather than using it to potentially defeat a political candidate, in the last days of an election btw. 

He opened himself up and threw himself into the ring of politics by doing his promoting this way. As I understand it, he specifically supported Cardin over Steele in the Maryland Senate race.

As the true statement goes, all is fair in war love, and politics. Rush&#039;s typical stupid and insensitive response actually helped Michael.

The question for the audience: does sympathic figures who insert themselves into this nasty arena, albeit very sincerely, ought to expect there will be insensitive and unkindly political pushback? Or do they they deserve a pass?</description>

		<description>Again, forget the Coulters and Limbaughs and consider how they made legitimate by the feeble challenges to what they say, or by not challenge them at all. 
   See Media Matters for Matt Lauer explaining on the today show how Fox got what he deserved, how Limbuagh &quot;just said what a lot of people were thinking.&quot;</description>

		<description>It is bizaare that prominent progressives even bother dignifying the likes of him and his fellow middle aged blonde counterpart by directly commenting on them or their dyspeptic rantings.  I prefer Tom Tomorrow&#039;s reference to them as &quot;The Scary Blonde Pundette&quot; and &quot;The Drug Addled Host&quot; 
http://www.workingforchange.com/comic.cfm?itemid=20975

As for the question, &quot;Is he really that dumb?&quot;, the answer is a resounding &quot;yes.&quot;  It&#039;s true that he and his ilk have brains enough to have much scorn for his own audience, which they certainly do.  However, American pop culture has always celebrated the least brightest and least talented.  I cannot even think of a radio media outlet here in the heartland of America, for example, that does not bore me with its banality.  I love visiting Canada because I can catch up on the actual news.

As was stated by a previous poster, oxy-moron&#039;s medical opinion snorts in relation to Fox won&#039;t change the view of the voting demographic whom Democratic operatives most covet.  The losers who make up oxy-moron&#039;s base of listeners are irrelevant in this election.  It is a case of preaching to the converted.

I will admit that it is interesting to note Fox&#039;s dignified and graceful response to this flunkie, but I don&#039;t believe that oxy-moron was worth even mentioning in the first place, since he and his crowd are non-entities.</description>

		<description>Cheesetastick!

Thanks reg for the You Tube link, I thought you were joking that Mel&#039;s Jesus broke out with the Aramaic, but seeing is believing.  While I agree with the senitments written, I always get a little nervous around election time because this is the heartland we&#039;re talking about where production values rate way lower than family values.

But speaking of production values straight from the Atwater handbook is the Corker ad against Ford:

video.on.nytimes.com/ifr_main.jsp?nsid=b270dbb7b:10e82d03fd3:-3bf8&amp;fr_story=f503c8d9dc514acfb9e79bc6726b5b7fece48071&amp;st=1161838097516&amp;mp=FLV&amp;cpf=false&amp;fvn=9&amp;fr=031006_104425_w51bd0788x109e7460d63xw2703&amp;rdm=367394.83027131984

Why didn&#039;t they just give him a pimp hat?  You can check out other campaign ads as well at the NYT.

The Dems need either TN or VA to make the switch as well to take the Senate and all three races are mighty close.</description>

		<description>This thing you hear from time to time; that Rush is an embarrasment, that he doesn&#039;t really speak for conservatives, hmmm.... How do you square it with his wallpapered radio presence, and the fact that all major Republicans do his show? Wasn&#039;t Rummy on the other morning? Glad he&#039;s got the time. 

     What&#039;s a little sickening is the lordly treatment he gets whenever he does Russart, who seems to find him so endless charming he gets extra soft ball questions.</description>

		<description>You all are a bunch of stupid, ignorant, mindless, lost sheep.  I hope you liberals get the society you dream about.  Let liberal men marry liberal men, let liberal women marry liberal women, let liberal pregnant women kill their liberal babies, let liberal atheist remove the Ten Commandments, Christianity, and all morals and values from our country and eventually you all will murder each other and eventually force yourselves into extinction.  It&#039;s inevitable and I can&#039;t wait!!! You all will get what you ask for and deserve!!!</description>

		<description>Richard is homeless, living in his car, dying of diabetis and heart failure (but still eating boxes of nonuts and chocolates in swoop), just had cataract operations, is causing the taxpayer a fortune.  He has not worked in over 20 years and expects the government to take care of him; thus, all his diatribe against republicans.

I already got him on SSI and have put him up in motels at a cost of 0 per week.  He will not look for a room, but rather seeks out your column and porno sites.   Marc, I met you a couple of times at the book fair at UCLA.</description>

		<description>By the way, it is only appropriate that Fox has supported Cardin, for the same reason that Fox supported Republican Senator Arlen Spector in 2004:  Cardin supports and always has supported embryonic stem cell research.  The smear against Cardin supposedly suggesting that he didn&#039;t support stem cell research is a typical right wing lie.  Even Michael Steele his Republican opponent has never repeated this internet, oxy-moron originated lie.</description>

		<description>If by &quot;pass&quot; you mean freedom from counter-criticism, no I wouldn&#039;t expect that.  If on the other hand you define a &quot;pass&quot; as immunity from having your disease and your advocacy of finding a cure ridiculed and joked about, then I do think that we all as humans deserve a &quot;pass&quot; from that...even though I am not suggesting censorship.  It&#039;s called human decency.

Here is an example of human decency:  I attended a speech at a church by Gracia Burnham.  She was the one who, along with her husband, were kidnapped along with about a dozen other missionaries in the Phillipines by radical Islamists a number of years ago (She ended up eventually being freed, but her husband was murdered).  I didn&#039;t know what I was in for, but it basically turned out to be a celebration of the extreme right wing.   

In her case, as well as the case of Terry Schiavo, would it have been appropriate to go on the airwaves and make fun of them and their tragedies?  Would it have been decent to have sccused them of &quot;faking it&quot; to make political hay?

The difference, Jim, is that if a left wing media personality had done any of these Limbaugh-esque things, they would have been denounced by the right establishment and banned from the airwaves, Dixie Chicks-style.

However, if you are any one of the cornucopia of right wing hot air bags on the air, you are given a free pass.  That&#039;s one of the differences between us and them. 

The other difference?  It&#039;s called decency and respect.  Something the right doesn&#039;t quite have a handle on.</description>

		<description>Michael Fox would have done stem cell research alot more good by promoting its promises, rather than using it to potentially defeat a political candidate, in the last days of an election btw. 

He opened himself up and threw himself into the ring of politics by doing his promoting this way. As I understand it, he specifically supported Cardin over Steele in the Maryland Senate race.

As the true statement goes, all is fair in war love, and politics. Rush&#039;s typical stupid and insensitive response actually helped Michael.

The question for the audience: does sympathic figures who insert themselves into this nasty arena, albeit very sincerely, ought to expect there will be insensitive and unkindly political pushback? Or do they they deserve a pass?</description>

		<description>Again, forget the Coulters and Limbaughs and consider how they made legitimate by the feeble challenges to what they say, or by not challenge them at all.

		<description>It is bizaare that prominent progressives even bother dignifying the likes of him and his fellow middle aged blonde counterpart by directly commenting on them or their dyspeptic rantings.  I prefer Tom Tomorrow&#039;s reference to them as &quot;The Scary Blonde Pundette&quot; and &quot;The Drug Addled Host&quot; 
http://www.workingforchange.com/comic.cfm?itemid=20975

As for the question, &quot;Is he really that dumb?&quot;, the answer is a resounding &quot;yes.&quot;  It&#039;s true that he and his ilk have brains enough to have much scorn for his own audience, which they certainly do.  However, American pop culture has always celebrated the least brightest and least talented.  I cannot even think of a radio media outlet here in the heartland of America, for example, that does not bore me with its banality.  I love visiting Canada because I can catch up on the actual news.

As was stated by a previous poster, oxy-moron&#039;s medical opinion snorts in relation to Fox won&#039;t change the view of the voting demographic whom Democratic operatives most covet.  The losers who make up oxy-moron&#039;s base of listeners are irrelevant in this election.  It is a case of preaching to the converted.

I will admit that it is interesting to note Fox&#039;s dignified and graceful response to this flunkie, but I don&#039;t believe that oxy-moron was worth even mentioning in the first place, since he and his crowd are non-entities.</description>

		<description>Cheesetastick!

Thanks reg for the You Tube link, I thought you were joking that Mel&#039;s Jesus broke out with the Aramaic, but seeing is believing.  While I agree with the senitments written, I always get a little nervous around election time because this is the heartland we&#039;re talking about where production values rate way lower than family values.

But speaking of production values straight from the Atwater handbook is the Corker ad against Ford:

video.on.nytimes.com/ifr_main.jsp?nsid=b270dbb7b:10e82d03fd3:-3bf8&amp;fr_story=f503c8d9dc514acfb9e79bc6726b5b7fece48071&amp;st=1161838097516&amp;mp=FLV&amp;cpf=false&amp;fvn=9&amp;fr=031006_104425_w51bd0788x109e7460d63xw2703&amp;rdm=367394.83027131984

Why didn&#039;t they just give him a pimp hat?  You can check out other campaign ads as well at the NYT.

The Dems need either TN or VA to make the switch as well to take the Senate and all three races are mighty close.</description>

		<description>This thing you hear from time to time; that Rush is an embarrasment, that he doesn&#039;t really speak for conservatives, hmmm.... How do you square it with his wallpapered radio presence, and the fact that all major Republicans do his show? Wasn&#039;t Rummy on the other morning? Glad he&#039;s got the time. 

     What&#039;s a little sickening is the lordly treatment he gets whenever he does Russart, who seems to find him so endless charming he gets extra soft ball questions.</description>

		<description>You all are a bunch of stupid, ignorant, mindless, lost sheep.  I hope you liberals get the society you dream about.  Let liberal men marry liberal men, let liberal women marry liberal women, let liberal pregnant women kill their liberal babies, let liberal atheist remove the Ten Commandments, Christianity, and all morals and values from our country and eventually you all will murder each other and eventually force yourselves into extinction.  It&#039;s inevitable and I can&#039;t wait!!! You all will get what you ask for and deserve!!!</description>

		<description>Richard is homeless, living in his car, dying of diabetis and heart failure (but still eating boxes of nonuts and chocolates in swoop), just had cataract operations, is causing the taxpayer a fortune.  He has not worked in over 20 years and expects the government to take care of him; thus, all his diatribe against republicans.

I already got him on SSI and have put him up in motels at a cost of 0 per week.  He will not look for a room, but rather seeks out your column and porno sites.   Marc, I met you a couple of times at the book fair at UCLA.</description>

		<description>By the way, it is only appropriate that Fox has supported Cardin, for the same reason that Fox supported Republican Senator Arlen Spector in 2004:  Cardin supports and always has supported embryonic stem cell research.  The smear against Cardin supposedly suggesting that he didn&#039;t support stem cell research is a typical right wing lie.  Even Michael Steele his Republican opponent has never repeated this internet, oxy-moron originated lie.</description>

		<description>If by &quot;pass&quot; you mean freedom from counter-criticism, no I wouldn&#039;t expect that.  If on the other hand you define a &quot;pass&quot; as immunity from having your disease and your advocacy of finding a cure ridiculed and joked about, then I do think that we all as humans deserve a &quot;pass&quot; from that...even though I am not suggesting censorship.  It&#039;s called human decency.

Here is an example of human decency:  I attended a speech at a church by Gracia Burnham.  She was the one who, along with her husband, were kidnapped along with about a dozen other missionaries in the Phillipines by radical Islamists a number of years ago (She ended up eventually being freed, but her husband was murdered).  I didn&#039;t know what I was in for, but it basically turned out to be a celebration of the extreme right wing.   

In her case, as well as the case of Terry Schiavo, would it have been appropriate to go on the airwaves and make fun of them and their tragedies?  Would it have been decent to have sccused them of &quot;faking it&quot; to make political hay?

The difference, Jim, is that if a left wing media personality had done any of these Limbaugh-esque things, they would have been denounced by the right establishment and banned from the airwaves, Dixie Chicks-style.

However, if you are any one of the cornucopia of right wing hot air bags on the air, you are given a free pass.  That&#039;s one of the differences between us and them. 

The other difference?  It&#039;s called decency and respect.  Something the right doesn&#039;t quite have a handle on.</description>

		<description>Michael Fox would have done stem cell research alot more good by promoting its promises, rather than using it to potentially defeat a political candidate, in the last days of an election btw. 

He opened himself up and threw himself into the ring of politics by doing his promoting this way. As I understand it, he specifically supported Cardin over Steele in the Maryland Senate race.

As the true statement goes, all is fair in war love, and politics. Rush&#039;s typical stupid and insensitive response actually helped Michael.

The question for the audience: does sympathic figures who insert themselves into this nasty arena, albeit very sincerely, ought to expect there will be insensitive and unkindly political pushback? Or do they they deserve a pass?</description>

		<description>It is bizaare that prominent progressives even bother dignifying the likes of him and his fellow middle aged blonde counterpart by directly commenting on them or their dyspeptic rantings.  I prefer Tom Tomorrow&#039;s reference to them as &quot;The Scary Blonde Pundette&quot; and &quot;The Drug Addled Host&quot; 
http://www.workingforchange.com/comic.cfm?itemid=20975

As for the question, &quot;Is he really that dumb?&quot;, the answer is a resounding &quot;yes.&quot;  It&#039;s true that he and his ilk have brains enough to have much scorn for his own audience, which they certainly do.  However, American pop culture has always celebrated the least brightest and least talented.  I cannot even think of a radio media outlet here in the heartland of America, for example, that does not bore me with its banality.  I love visiting Canada because I can catch up on the actual news.

As was stated by a previous poster, oxy-moron&#039;s medical opinion snorts in relation to Fox won&#039;t change the view of the voting demographic whom Democratic operatives most covet.  The losers who make up oxy-moron&#039;s base of listeners are irrelevant in this election.  It is a case of preaching to the converted.

I will admit that it is interesting to note Fox&#039;s dignified and graceful response to this flunkie, but I don&#039;t believe that oxy-moron was worth even mentioning in the first place, since he and his crowd are non-entities.</description>

		<description>Cheesetastick!

Thanks reg for the You Tube link, I thought you were joking that Mel&#039;s Jesus broke out with the Aramaic, but seeing is believing.  While I agree with the senitments written, I always get a little nervous around election time because this is the heartland we&#039;re talking about where production values rate way lower than family values.

But speaking of production values straight from the Atwater handbook is the Corker ad against Ford:

video.on.nytimes.com/ifr_main.jsp?nsid=b270dbb7b:10e82d03fd3:-3bf8&amp;fr_story=f503c8d9dc514acfb9e79bc6726b5b7fece48071&amp;st=1161838097516&amp;mp=FLV&amp;cpf=false&amp;fvn=9&amp;fr=031006_104425_w51bd0788x109e7460d63xw2703&amp;rdm=367394.83027131984

Why didn&#039;t they just give him a pimp hat?  You can check out other campaign ads as well at the NYT.

The Dems need either TN or VA to make the switch as well to take the Senate and all three races are mighty close.</description>

		<description>This thing you hear from time to time; that Rush is an embarrasment, that he doesn&#039;t really speak for conservatives, hmmm.... How do you square it with his wallpapered radio presence, and the fact that all major Republicans do his show? Wasn&#039;t Rummy on the other morning? Glad he&#039;s got the time. 

     What&#039;s a little sickening is the lordly treatment he gets whenever he does Russart, who seems to find him so endless charming he gets extra soft ball questions.</description>

		<description>You all are a bunch of stupid, ignorant, mindless, lost sheep.  I hope you liberals get the society you dream about.  Let liberal men marry liberal men, let liberal women marry liberal women, let liberal pregnant women kill their liberal babies, let liberal atheist remove the Ten Commandments, Christianity, and all morals and values from our country and eventually you all will murder each other and eventually force yourselves into extinction.  It&#039;s inevitable and I can&#039;t wait!!! You all will get what you ask for and deserve!!!</description>

		<description>Richard is homeless, living in his car, dying of diabetis and heart failure (but still eating boxes of nonuts and chocolates in swoop), just had cataract operations, is causing the taxpayer a fortune.  He has not worked in over 20 years and expects the government to take care of him; thus, all his diatribe against republicans.

I already got him on SSI and have put him up in motels at a cost of 0 per week.  He will not look for a room, but rather seeks out your column and porno sites.   Marc, I met you a couple of times at the book fair at UCLA.</description>

		<description>By the way, it is only appropriate that Fox has supported Cardin, for the same reason that Fox supported Republican Senator Arlen Spector in 2004:  Cardin supports and always has supported embryonic stem cell research.  The smear against Cardin supposedly suggesting that he didn&#039;t support stem cell research is a typical right wing lie.  Even Michael Steele his Republican opponent has never repeated this internet, oxy-moron originated lie.</description>

		<description>If by &quot;pass&quot; you mean freedom from counter-criticism, no I wouldn&#039;t expect that.  If on the other hand you define a &quot;pass&quot; as immunity from having your disease and your advocacy of finding a cure ridiculed and joked about, then I do think that we all as humans deserve a &quot;pass&quot; from that...even though I am not suggesting censorship.  It&#039;s called human decency.

Here is an example of human decency:  I attended a speech at a church by Gracia Burnham.  She was the one who, along with her husband, were kidnapped along with about a dozen other missionaries in the Phillipines by radical Islamists a number of years ago (She ended up eventually being freed, but her husband was murdered).  I didn&#039;t know what I was in for, but it basically turned out to be a celebration of the extreme right wing.   

In her case, as well as the case of Terry Schiavo, would it have been appropriate to go on the airwaves and make fun of them and their tragedies?  Would it have been decent to have sccused them of &quot;faking it&quot; to make political hay?

The difference, Jim, is that if a left wing media personality had done any of these Limbaugh-esque things, they would have been denounced by the right establishment and banned from the airwaves, Dixie Chicks-style.

However, if you are any one of the cornucopia of right wing hot air bags on the air, you are given a free pass.  That&#039;s one of the differences between us and them. 

The other difference?  It&#039;s called decency and respect.  Something the right doesn&#039;t quite have a handle on.</description>

		<description>Michael Fox would have done stem cell research alot more good by promoting its promises, rather than using it to potentially defeat a political candidate, in the last days of an election btw. 

He opened himself up and threw himself into the ring of politics by doing his promoting this way. As I understand it, he specifically supported Cardin over Steele in the Maryland Senate race.

As the true statement goes, all is fair in war love, and politics. Rush&#039;s typical stupid and insensitive response actually helped Michael.

The question for the audience: does sympathic figures who insert themselves into this nasty arena, albeit very sincerely, ought to expect there will be insensitive and unkindly political pushback? Or do they they deserve a pass?</description>

		<description>Again, forget the Coulters and Limbaughs and consider how they made legitimate by the feeble challenges to what they say, or by not challenge them at all.

		<description>It is bizaare that prominent progressives even bother dignifying the likes of him and his fellow middle aged blonde counterpart by directly commenting on them or their dyspeptic rantings.  I prefer Tom Tomorrow&#039;s reference to them as &quot;The Scary Blonde Pundette&quot; and &quot;The Drug Addled Host&quot; 
http://www.workingforchange.com/comic.cfm?itemid=20975

As for the question, &quot;Is he really that dumb?&quot;, the answer is a resounding &quot;yes.&quot;  It&#039;s true that he and his ilk have brains enough to have much scorn for his own audience, which they certainly do.  However, American pop culture has always celebrated the least brightest and least talented.  I cannot even think of a radio media outlet here in the heartland of America, for example, that does not bore me with its banality.  I love visiting Canada because I can catch up on the actual news.

As was stated by a previous poster, oxy-moron&#039;s medical opinion snorts in relation to Fox won&#039;t change the view of the voting demographic whom Democratic operatives most covet.  The losers who make up oxy-moron&#039;s base of listeners are irrelevant in this election.  It is a case of preaching to the converted.

I will admit that it is interesting to note Fox&#039;s dignified and graceful response to this flunkie, but I don&#039;t believe that oxy-moron was worth even mentioning in the first place, since he and his crowd are non-entities.</description>

Thanks reg for the You Tube link, I thought you were joking that Mel&#039;s Jesus broke out with the Aramaic, but seeing is believing.  While I agree with the senitments written, I always get a little nervous around election time because this is the heartland we&#039;re talking about where production values rate way lower than family values.

But speaking of production values straight from the Atwater handbook is the Corker ad against Ford:

video.on.nytimes.com/ifr_main.jsp?nsid=b270dbb7b:10e82d03fd3:-3bf8&amp;fr_story=f503c8d9dc514acfb9e79bc6726b5b7fece48071&amp;st=1161838097516&amp;mp=FLV&amp;cpf=false&amp;fvn=9&amp;fr=031006_104425_w51bd0788x109e7460d63xw2703&amp;rdm=367394.83027131984

Why didn&#039;t they just give him a pimp hat?  You can check out other campaign ads as well at the NYT.

The Dems need either TN or VA to make the switch as well to take the Senate and all three races are mighty close.</description>

		<description>This thing you hear from time to time; that Rush is an embarrasment, that he doesn&#039;t really speak for conservatives, hmmm.... How do you square it with his wallpapered radio presence, and the fact that all major Republicans do his show? Wasn&#039;t Rummy on the other morning? Glad he&#039;s got the time. 

     What&#039;s a little sickening is the lordly treatment he gets whenever he does Russart, who seems to find him so endless charming he gets extra soft ball questions.</description>

		<description>You all are a bunch of stupid, ignorant, mindless, lost sheep.  I hope you liberals get the society you dream about.  Let liberal men marry liberal men, let liberal women marry liberal women, let liberal pregnant women kill their liberal babies, let liberal atheist remove the Ten Commandments, Christianity, and all morals and values from our country and eventually you all will murder each other and eventually force yourselves into extinction.  It&#039;s inevitable and I can&#039;t wait!!! You all will get what you ask for and deserve!!!</description>

		<description>Richard is homeless, living in his car, dying of diabetis and heart failure (but still eating boxes of nonuts and chocolates in swoop), just had cataract operations, is causing the taxpayer a fortune.  He has not worked in over 20 years and expects the government to take care of him; thus, all his diatribe against republicans.

I already got him on SSI and have put him up in motels at a cost of 0 per week.  He will not look for a room, but rather seeks out your column and porno sites.   Marc, I met you a couple of times at the book fair at UCLA.</description>

		<description>By the way, it is only appropriate that Fox has supported Cardin, for the same reason that Fox supported Republican Senator Arlen Spector in 2004:  Cardin supports and always has supported embryonic stem cell research.  The smear against Cardin supposedly suggesting that he didn&#039;t support stem cell research is a typical right wing lie.  Even Michael Steele his Republican opponent has never repeated this internet, oxy-moron originated lie.</description>

		<description>If by &quot;pass&quot; you mean freedom from counter-criticism, no I wouldn&#039;t expect that.  If on the other hand you define a &quot;pass&quot; as immunity from having your disease and your advocacy of finding a cure ridiculed and joked about, then I do think that we all as humans deserve a &quot;pass&quot; from that...even though I am not suggesting censorship.  It&#039;s called human decency.

Here is an example of human decency:  I attended a speech at a church by Gracia Burnham.  She was the one who, along with her husband, were kidnapped along with about a dozen other missionaries in the Phillipines by radical Islamists a number of years ago (She ended up eventually being freed, but her husband was murdered).  I didn&#039;t know what I was in for, but it basically turned out to be a celebration of the extreme right wing.   

In her case, as well as the case of Terry Schiavo, would it have been appropriate to go on the airwaves and make fun of them and their tragedies?  Would it have been decent to have sccused them of &quot;faking it&quot; to make political hay?

The difference, Jim, is that if a left wing media personality had done any of these Limbaugh-esque things, they would have been denounced by the right establishment and banned from the airwaves, Dixie Chicks-style.

However, if you are any one of the cornucopia of right wing hot air bags on the air, you are given a free pass.  That&#039;s one of the differences between us and them. 

The other difference?  It&#039;s called decency and respect.  Something the right doesn&#039;t quite have a handle on.</description>

		<description>Michael Fox would have done stem cell research alot more good by promoting its promises, rather than using it to potentially defeat a political candidate, in the last days of an election btw. 

He opened himself up and threw himself into the ring of politics by doing his promoting this way. As I understand it, he specifically supported Cardin over Steele in the Maryland Senate race.

As the true statement goes, all is fair in war love, and politics. Rush&#039;s typical stupid and insensitive response actually helped Michael.

The question for the audience: does sympathic figures who insert themselves into this nasty arena, albeit very sincerely, ought to expect there will be insensitive and unkindly political pushback? Or do they they deserve a pass?</description>

		<description>It is bizaare that prominent progressives even bother dignifying the likes of him and his fellow middle aged blonde counterpart by directly commenting on them or their dyspeptic rantings.  I prefer Tom Tomorrow&#039;s reference to them as &quot;The Scary Blonde Pundette&quot; and &quot;The Drug Addled Host&quot; 
http://www.workingforchange.com/comic.cfm?itemid=20975

As for the question, &quot;Is he really that dumb?&quot;, the answer is a resounding &quot;yes.&quot;  It&#039;s true that he and his ilk have brains enough to have much scorn for his own audience, which they certainly do.  However, American pop culture has always celebrated the least brightest and least talented.  I cannot even think of a radio media outlet here in the heartland of America, for example, that does not bore me with its banality.  I love visiting Canada because I can catch up on the actual news.

As was stated by a previous poster, oxy-moron&#039;s medical opinion snorts in relation to Fox won&#039;t change the view of the voting demographic whom Democratic operatives most covet.  The losers who make up oxy-moron&#039;s base of listeners are irrelevant in this election.  It is a case of preaching to the converted.

I will admit that it is interesting to note Fox&#039;s dignified and graceful response to this flunkie, but I don&#039;t believe that oxy-moron was worth even mentioning in the first place, since he and his crowd are non-entities.</description>

		<description>Cheesetastick!

Thanks reg for the You Tube link, I thought you were joking that Mel&#039;s Jesus broke out with the Aramaic, but seeing is believing.  While I agree with the senitments written, I always get a little nervous around election time because this is the heartland we&#039;re talking about where production values rate way lower than family values.

But speaking of production values straight from the Atwater handbook is the Corker ad against Ford:

video.on.nytimes.com/ifr_main.jsp?nsid=b270dbb7b:10e82d03fd3:-3bf8&amp;fr_story=f503c8d9dc514acfb9e79bc6726b5b7fece48071&amp;st=1161838097516&amp;mp=FLV&amp;cpf=false&amp;fvn=9&amp;fr=031006_104425_w51bd0788x109e7460d63xw2703&amp;rdm=367394.83027131984

Why didn&#039;t they just give him a pimp hat?  You can check out other campaign ads as well at the NYT.

The Dems need either TN or VA to make the switch as well to take the Senate and all three races are mighty close.</description>

		<description>This thing you hear from time to time; that Rush is an embarrasment, that he doesn&#039;t really speak for conservatives, hmmm.... How do you square it with his wallpapered radio presence, and the fact that all major Republicans do his show? Wasn&#039;t Rummy on the other morning? Glad he&#039;s got the time. 

     What&#039;s a little sickening is the lordly treatment he gets whenever he does Russart, who seems to find him so endless charming he gets extra soft ball questions.</description>
