"Karen M." wrote in message om... Steve, I have listened to his show. The man is rude, insulting, and spews out so many lies it's repugnant. You want some debunking? Here you go: http://www.bestofmaui.com/rush.html http://www.fair.org/media-outlets/limbaugh.html http://www.motherjones.com/mother_jones/MJ95/fair.html Oh, and someone wrote a whole book about his "errors" - http://www.evolvefish.com/fish/product1415.html I've seen the sites but have not read the book, nor have I read Rush Limbaugh's books. Of the sites, however, I don't find them to be terribly convincing. Back to the "negotiation of knowledge" theory, if one looks at the sites one sees a number of statements made by Rush Limbaugh that are taken out of context. Without proper context, any statement can be given a number of possible meanings, whether they be the intended meanings or not. I don't doubt that much of what Mr. Limbaugh says is merely verbal diarrhea but I do think it is important to listen to what he says. Many USA-ians I have met (around the world, as well as in the US) have similar ideas to his. This is unfortunate, but true. How can others offer rational argument without knowing exactly what they are arguing against? Regardless, his cats *were* beautiful! I wasn't going to look at the site, because I had thought it was probably a troll-like link, but I pleasantly surprised to find real cats! I thought he was a dog person, for some reason :-). rona |

Hmmm,
It's OK to call Mr. Limbaugh a fascist huh? I suspect you have never listened to his show. He is without doubt one of the funniest guys on radio, and you will certainly get a side of the daily news that you won't hear anywhere else. Well, gee, Steve, I'm kinda hurt being a longtime Hill's customer as I am. However, yes, I have heard his show probably hundreds of times over the years. I listen to conservative talk radio (what other kind is there?) here in Phoenix just so I can know how the other side is thinking. I'll admit, he has some nice little production numbers now and then, very slick, sometimes funny, but sheesh, Rush worshippers with all their "mega-dittoes" are a bit much. Why shouldn't the liberal left react to his show? That's all he blathers on about. "Liberal" was not a dirty word until he made it so. And why can't these conservative Republicans get over Clinton? He hasn't been President for a couple years now and, yet, they can't seem to go for more than a day without bringing him up and comparing him to their beloved Bush. It's, oh, so boring and trite...not to mention, past history. Move on. And, please, like he doesn't resort to name calling: "femi-nazis," for one. I don't see why "fascist" is any more insulting. I've heard him plenty and the way you guys all jump to his defense just cuz I made a little offhand remark only shows how insecure you are in your beliefs. You need your Grand Master to tell you what you think. Factual error? Politics is a matter of choice. You're not right or wrong just because you're a Republican or Democrat. I think the response to my little offhand remark just proves that you on the Far Right have no sense of humor whatsoever unless Rush tells you it's funny.

Ok, I dno't like Rush Limbaugh, but I will agree calling him facist is
going overboard. It's like the people who use nazi to label anything they don't like. Well, and he does, Alice. "Femi-nazi" is his favorite term for any female who tries to think for herself. Fascist, Nazi, what's the difference? Candace (take the litter out before replying by e-mail) See my cats: http://photos.yahoo.com/maccandace |

Those are just a few. Maybe you should spend less time telling Ann
Martin to check her statements and spend a little more time checking your own. Karen Most excellent, Karen. I wonder if Hill's doesn't want the money us liberals spend on their food. I, for one, have spent thousands of dollars on Hill's for the last 12 years when one of my cats started requiring prescription foods.
