Rush Linny is a Stain on America. Such a bigot. At least we find out those other bigots when they talk him up.

It never ceases to amaze me , how the enlightened ones are the first to come out with ad-hominem attacks against their ideological opponents, in an effort to silence their views. Bigot, stain; is that the best you’ve got? Surely your vocabulary is more expansive than that.
As to Mr. Limbaugh, I rarely listen to his show. But I do admire a man who has been systematically targeted for over 20 years because of his views, and has managed each and every time to expose his detractors, including our President, Mr. Obama, for the petty ideologues that they are.
Truth is, they lack the cerebral horsepower to land a glove on him, so all they are left with is “the smear”, a tool that you choose to employ readily. Come back to the discussion when you’d like to argue facts, not your feelings.

When another poster starts attacking the character of another poster then it is a very good indication that the person attacking the character of the original poster is wrong and his argument is flawed. Judges use this idea in court cases many times a day.
Thus Sir! Your personal attacks on my character are unfounded and really not what is the usual flavor of this forum. Are you a old member of the John Birch Society?
Do i really need to give you examples as to how Lush The Pill Head is a BIGOT?
I will not argue with you about my or your character. Should you choose to do so then i will just add you to my ignore list[quote=”Versatile”][quote=”postalx”][quote=”Versatile”]Rush Linny is a Stain on America. Such a bigot. At least we find out those other bigots when they talk him up.[/quote]

The two brain cell mentality of a certain segment of the American population, Rush listeners; is amazing. The conservative media, and the FCC, allow this prescription drug addict, racist, to pollute the airways! His latest racist comment “Obama, the magic negro,” is highly offensive, to all americans. No surprise, since 90% of talk radio is controlled by conservative media.

I’m sorry, soldier, but his latest racial epithet is NOT “highly offensive” to all Americans. It is sadly acceptable to, at least, a very significant minority which explains his popularity.
What’s amusing is the reaction of that set, Rush and his followers, when they are called out for the bigots they are. Then suddenly insulting and demeaning labels become unfair and offensive.
[quote=”maravilla”]i suppose we should be grateful that the pill head didn’t use the other “N” word.[/quote]
What the hell difference would it make, maravilla? You, I, he and everyone else know what he meant.
why does his race have to be mentioned, except that’s what racists and bigots do. i never heard anyone refer to george w. as “that white president.” anyone who’s ever listened to Rush knows good and well he’d have used the other word if he could get away with it. and let’s not forget obama is only HALF black. it’s this kind of crap that really rankles my ire. what difference does it make if he were green or pink or blue? to THEM it does make a difference, but to us lefties it doesn’t matter one whit. it’s the thing i like the least about the US — it’s overt racism that’s constantly employed by those other people.
And he is also HALF white, maravilla. Why, I wonder, is the emphasis always upon what is meant to be taken as the negative side? The presumption, of course, is that the not-white part of President Obama’s heritage somehow taints, offsets the better, purer white part.
Of course, it could never be the other way around, could it?
There was talk after the most recent election that, with the election of a (half-)black man as President, the United States has turned the corner, has become “post-racial”. Uh huh . . . we’ll see (in another ten generations).
if it weren’t meant to be negative he never would’ve said it!!! what point are your really arguing here? they never refer to him as a bi-racial president, or a half white president, do they? sheesh
David,
What I should have said was, highly offensive to all intelligent people. President Obama and I both share a mixed heritage, with the same challenges; in American. There are four elements in the American foundation, money, power, sex and discrimination. I am glad I had the opportunity to participate in three different combat conflicts, so that racists and anti-americans can enjoy their freedom of speech; here in the U.S. On a more positive side, I regard Costa Rica as my new home, in more ways than one!
Scott recently posted a very interesting article, captioned, African Americans in Costa Rica, The Owens Story. I was somewhat shocked, that in the 21st century, there were still individuals coming to Costa Rica; and contaminating this beautiful country with their prejudices. I have felt more warmth from Ticos and Ticas, than I have from my fellow U.S. citizens; here in the U.S.
don’t kid yourself. the Ticos have their own prejudices. it surprised me but i don’t know why. my Tico lawyer confided that he didn’t like Jews, Arabs, or Blacks. and he asked not to get him started on the Chiinese, who he sees as trying to take over his country. my my my. he had a very good reason (in his mind) why that was okay. he also told me that these prejudices are never really spoken about in the open but they are there beneath the surface, and many Ticos feel the same way. the bottom line is that there is always somebody who doesn’t like somebody else for whatever reason. is it fair, is it right? of course not, but every culture has some racism. Even among the Ticos there are those who think the ones descended from European stock are better than the indigenous races. I found the same kind of attitudes in Mexico too. the world is weird, and it’s more than a little f’d up.
During my last few trips to Costa Rica, I have heard greater verbal prejudice towards nicaraguans and non-american blacks. Similar in terms of what you hear stereotyped upon african americans in the U.S. Because of my physical appearance, ticos and ticas automatically assume I am a tico, here in the U.S.; they assume I am hispanic. I am neither. Life is too short to waste energy on petty prejudice issues!
[quote=”grb1063″]Medical malpractice suits will never be reduced until there is comprehensive tort reform. Given that 75% of congress, including the current executive Oblahblahblahma, that is highly unlikely to happen. Lawyers pass laws to benefit lawyers, which can only be interpreted by lawyers. Texas is the only state that has passed comprehensive tort reform (2 years ago) with respect to medical malpractice. The result has been a 51% reduction in malpractice insurance costs and such a mass influx of doctors that the licensing baord cannot keep pace. Any doctor will tell you that many unneccesary tests are preformed on patients simply to keep the lawyers away. There are more lawyers in the 76 story Columbia Center in Seattle than the entire country of Japan. In Japan, the losing side pays all the costs of the lawsuit….what a concept.[/quote]
Medical malpractice is NOT the reason we here in the US pay far more for healthcare than other industrialized countries while millions of our citizens go without healthcare coverage. Lawsuits account for a fraction of our healthcare costs which is around 3%. Torte reform will not by any means lower the costs of healthcare. For too long, insurance companies have had total control of the US health care system. It is the insurance company and NOT the government that gets between the patient and the doctor. Insurance companies decide who live and die in the US by raising premiums and denying coverage all in the name of corporate profits. Thank God we finally have a president who has the heart and guts to do what is morally right and is not afraid of the political consequences. As a registered nurse I’ve seen too many people become gravely ill and die because they don’t have health coverage or they didn’t have enough coverage when they thought they did. As someone who has done utilization review for hospitals, I know for a fact that insurance companies are in charge of the US health care system. I’m also willing to pay more in taxes if it means my neighbor will get health care INSTEAD of relying on hospital emergency services.
