    To someone intent on hating the person saying it, while possessing no common sense, sure.

    Twist it into whatever you Limbaugh-haters want. I'm sure he'll give a f***



    Him too, eh...

    The fauxrage isn't over what Limbaugh said, because it is 100% fact.

    The fauxrage is over who said it.

    Period.

    Not surprised that you thought it was excellent.

    Pure, unadulterated naiveté on display. Lone survivor is based on a true story. T-R-U-E. And while 12 year is also based on historic events, side by side Lone Survivor never had a chance based on the liberal Hollywood's disdain for the military.

    Why waste an hour and a half when the title says everything true Liberal needs to know?

    You made a false statement, she was not making fun of Republicans. She was making fun of liberals and Democrats.

    No it was about the academy voters and ceremony attendees which I think you would agree are overwhelmingly Democrat and liberal, she was making fun of them.

    - - - Updated - - -

    Regardless of what you think about her intelligence did you agree with her or not?

    And I can actually assure you neither of them are idiots.

    Entertainers whose genre is political satire like Limbaugh, what did you think Limbaugh is?

    ROFL regardless of what specious assessment of Limbaugh what do you think Stewert and Maher's audiences want to hear?

    Actually the challenged would not find it intriguing and would probably believe him to be misogynist, bigoted idiot because it would go over their heads.

    Oh I have and they don't even come close in their blatant attempts to mimic Limbaugh which is why neither has ever been able to develop a big listener base.

    It was actually a pretty astute statement, even now there are some hear who still don't get who Limbaugh is and what he does.

    I don't believe that you are not smart enough to see that 'slave' is a magic word in the way Rush meant it.

    You're not that dumb. Why do you think we won't know that?

    He is a political opinion maker in the same vein as oreilly, hannity, maddow, shultz and the rest of the talking heads. Limbaugh at times uses satire in his commentaries and rants, but only as an occasional device as his limited wit allows him.


    for the most part they want to hear jokes and laugh. Granted a few of their audiences attempt to garner their news from such shows but its a way smaller % than those who obtain their political opinions from Rush.


    I suppose you are correct.
    There can be no other explanation why so many intellectually challenged listen to him. He's their svengali, their icon of expressing their mysogynistic, bigoted idiotic thoughts they themselves are unable to fully form nor express without his guidance.

    Yes, Limbaugh is definitely the king of blowhard hypocritical political commentators.

    Insult? You have called him an idiot how many times? I never insulted you.


    Dude, there was no argument.

    Just a thread full of fauxraged whining about Limbaugh.

    Schultz yes but not the others, he has ALWAYS been an entertainer, you might not be old enough to be aware of his traveling show he used to do early in his career. He was fricking radio DJ and did publicity for a pro-baseball team.

    Yes based on political commentary just like Limbaugh.

    Actually younger demographics a routinly list them as their primary news sources as opposed to Limbaughs.

    Your misguided attempts to denigrate those who listen to him only shows your own bigotry not anyone else's. It's one thing to disagree with people, but when you have to relay on bromides and platitudes instead of the merits of your own positions.......

    And now it's hypocrisy............buy yes he certainly does political satire as good as or better than most. Shultz is especially the most absurd in his blayant attempt to act like a Limbaugh but he falls on his face doing so, he should have stay as he was in the past.

    If you say so...

    You would say so too IF you were being objective.

    But libs hate Limbaugh and will never admit he was right.

    People can watch these movies and make up their own mind of their quality. I haven't seen this movie so I will not judge it but if politics is clouding your judgement going in, why bother watching? Just declare the movie good or bad because of the subject material. It's about "slavery" so that makes it good if you are a 'liberal' and 'bad' if you are not. Right? I guess that will end the discussion right there.

    Ah yes, I recall all too well the outrage from conservative Catholic nutters over The Passion of the Christ; the majority of whom never even saw the movie but were content to condemn it out of hand as 'blasphemy'.
    "Why waste an hour and a half" indeed...

    If he wasn't "entertaining" he wouldn't have an audience. But he isn't an entertainer he's a political commentator. Surely you can discern the difference. Or maybe not.

    as to what he did prior to his radio show, most people I know with careers started out as something else.

    So a show on the comedy channel is the same as a syndicated political commentary radio show? What a peculiar equivalency evaluation.

    Yes, I acknowledged that some do. Of course since those young people tune in for the satire and comedy, far be it that they would use satire in responding to a survey.


    I denigrate those who believe his hateful and bigoted rants.

    He professes love of america and yet almost gleefuly wishes for american failure. He champiions the constitution yet routinely endorses unequal rights and even the republican attempts to circumvent the basic right to vote. He lambasted drug dealers and users while being a druggie himself. He makes racist and mysogenistic remarks on a regular and frequent basis.


    Shultz is absurd as Rush.

    Using your criteria, all the talking heads on Fox and MSNBC are merely "entertainers". interesting.

    Although there's some truth to your analogy, I take exception to your calling all conservative Catholics "nutters". Every moslem WILL take exception to Muhammed be made fun of - does it then follows, every moslem is a "nutter"?

    In fairness I didn't say 'all' Catholics were nutters. My mother, bless her, was relatively sane.

    I haven't seen a single person call this a bad movie.

    All I am seeing it criticism of the selection process for the Academy Awards - and a lot of moonbat liberals ranting and raving, calling conservatives racist for criticizing this movie when no such criticism has been levied.

    DUH...............

    Yes like Stewert and Maher to name a couple. Surely the sameness doesn't escape you. You've never listen to him have you, else you would know.

    And most you can track a career path.

    Yes what a peculiar ignorance of the show.


    Most.

    Can you try to make some sense?

    How about those who believe Stewert's and Maher's and Schultz's?

    Your ignorance of the man is really blaring and certainly makes you look foolish.

    Actually none of the above.

    And why is he using those drugs? Do you call all people who suffer from chronic pain and use medications to try to alleviate some of that pain druggies? How pitiful of you and what a lack of compassion, of course I guess you would wish show torture on those whom you have political disagreements.

    Such as?

    Actually he is the one who is absurd and has been since he thought he could copy Limbaugh rather than do his shows as he did in the past.

    That you cannot make the intellectual distinctions is not my problem.
