Steve,
Nice post. Glad to see at least one of you libs has a plan. Spartacus is a troll.
Jake>
I could argue with you, but – as I said – you’re not really listening, just as people like you weren’t listening in 2000 (when it was obvious that George W Bush has the foreign policy credentials of a banana) or 2004 (when it was obvious that he didn’t have a clue about what was happening in Iraq or how to deal with it).
I’ve argued on this site for a more intelligence-based approach to fighting terrorism (i.e. developing co-operative human intelligence assets and analysing their output alongside signals and other intelligence assets, as opposed to torturing what you want to hear out of people which is just state-sponsored barbarism). I’ve argued for a more balanced and critical relationship with the House of Saud (which is corrupt from top to bottom, and which sponsors the Wahabist fundamentalism – via madrassas and satellite TV – from which Al Quaeda draws its recruits). And I’ve argued that we need to be wary of Pakistan which, even after 9/11, was acting a nuclear Wal-Mart for the Islamic world.
These are all concepts in Steve’s link, but for my trouble I was called a terrorist-lover and a communist (curiously, I am neither). As I said, those on your side of the fence are not willing to see what’s happening and you’re not willing to listen to alternate strategies because, for reasons passing understanding, you seem to feel you can fight an asymmetric war using the techniques of a conventional conflict.
Why the neo-conservatives decided to commit over 100,000 troops to perform an act of regime change in a neo-secular (albeit autocratic and tyrannical) Middle Eastern state when the real threat to the United States was and continues to be a highly fluid and mobile network of Islamic extremists operating from North Africa to Indonesia beggars the imagination and defies all logic.
Those 100,000+ troops are – because of the parlous state of Iraq’s internal security – now committed for the long-term which means that this country has been left exposed to real threats from real enemies. The costs and commitments of the war have prevented the recommendations of the Tower Commission from being implemented. This is wanton negligence and hubris that fails to protect the American public and it was avoidable.
You can call me a troll if you like, but the truth is that you’re simply unwilling to confront the truth which is that the current incarnation of the party you’ve chosen to support has decided to base its style of leadership on a bizarre mix of the politics of a Pasolini film and the military strategy of Sgt. Bilko.
Wow that Spartacus freak is nuts!
Spartacus,
You are not a freak or nuts, nor a terrorist-lover or a commie. Name-calling doesn’t solve anything, especially in politics. The latest taunt that the right is currently using is referring to liberalism as a mental disorder. I usually choose to avoid such nonsense, but occasionally I respond in kind to right-wingers, regretting that my own name-calling just obfuscates good, honest discussion. The less we all bicker and name-call the better us all, and for our country to get back on track of being democracy’s beacon for the 21st century.
iPhones for all!
Spartacus,
You are nuts.
No iPhone for Mackster.
Mackster/Kim/all-comers…
As I’ve mentioned to others such as Jim -TiV, your comments are an example of the paucity of debate and – sadly – are typical of the bullying nature of the right-wing of American politics at this time.
If your sole response to my clearly stated arguments (whether right or wrong) are that I’m a freak or that I’m nuts without establishing a clear justification for that opinion, then all you are doing is creating an argument along the lines of “I’m rubber and you’re glue” or “I know I am, but what are you”.
Personally, I’m in my mid-forties so I’ve outgrown simple name-calling as a substitute for reasoned debate – given that you obviously haven’t and you obviously support a party which believes in insulting your intelligence whilst injuring this country, all I can do is wish you well and hope that the next 19 months goes by as quickly as possible.
The rhetoric I hear each and every day
It’s gone tomorrow
Not here to stay
So much energy they do expound
Trying so hard
To put people down
Listen to me I know what’s best
I am the One
Smarter than the rest
If they only knew what fools they be
How little they are
Their nothing to see
They have no idea what life is about
To believe in Jesus
Or you will be left out
He doesn’t care how big a fool you have been
He loves you anyway
Because your there with him
Rush speaks the truth. What a great guy and great medium he has.
REPORTER: Thank you, Mr. President. Yesterday you called for a deadline for U.N. action on Kosovo. When would you like that deadline set? …
DUBYA: Thanks. A couple of points on that. First of all, I don’t think I called for a deadline. I thought I said, time — I did? What exactly did I say? I said deadline? Okay, yes, then I meant what I said.
Nick,
So when our drug-addicted host attacked Michael J. Fox on his show for deliberately not taking his medication so as to increase the visibility of the “twitch/tick/shake” symptoms that people afflicted by Parkinson’s have to suffer; it wasn’t so much that he was lying, he was just talking out of blind ignorance.
A Republican ignorant of the facts – never heard of such a thing before, but there’s always a first I suppose.
And when he concurrently did his little impersonation of Fox twitching; again he wasn’t lying, he was just ‘entertaining’ his ‘viewers’ using the same tactics beloved of your average eleven-year old.
A Republican behaving in an insensitive manner – again, a completely new experience for me.
Thanks for clearing up Rush’s position in the broadcasting firmament – he’s a prophet for our times and he used the Oxycontin to help him reach his spirit guide so he could continue his vision quest.
Thanks for the humor – I haven’t laughed so much since the mid-terms.
Spartacus, I agree with much of what you have written. Obviously Limbaugh is ignorant of tardive dyskinesia, a side effect of chronic dopamine therapy used in treating Parkinson’s, an AKINETIC neurodegenerative disease. He did indeed offer an apology after being vilified by organizations of Parkinson’s patients. But his obvious eagerness to launch an ad hominem attack in complete ignorance should be obvious. As the Japanese say: 馬鹿につける薬がな – There’s no cure for stupidity.
In 1994 FAIR.org has published a lengthy catalog of gross factual errors made by Limbaugh, and his responses to their analysis. Basically Limbaugh was unable to refute a single claim made by FAIR.
http://www.fair.org/index.php?page=1895
It is my fault. I stuck my neck out and got involved in a political situation. I am now fair game. Rush has every right to call me out on not taking my medication.
Fact: Michael J. Fox Admitted on ABC “I Haven’t Read It” When Asked About the Missouri Amendment to Legalize Human Cloning That He Mischaracterized as a Stem-Cell Bill in the Ad!

Pseudo-Fox
You still don’t understand, do you? Google “tardive dyskinesia”.
Edwardo
So what? Do you think that makes Limbaugh vituperative attack acceptable?
The problem with libs is that they set up these barriers that if you attack the messenger or issue they immediately label you a bigot or polictally incorrect. Take illegal aliens for instance. Anyone who sides against the issues is a villian. Complete BS!!!!! Your argument does not scare intelligent people. Rush keep right on exposes these trolls.
Know thine enemy, and take his freebies.
Rush is only the enenemy to terrorists and their liberal friends.
Lowest rated congress in history. Good work libs.
Tom,
The only way Rush is an enemy to terrorists is if he fell down the stairs and one of them was standing at the bottom.
Like many supporters of this war, Limbaugh has never seen service in an active theater of war and, additionally, he’s never served in any way whatsoever.
If the war on terror ever spreads to Palm Beach, Limbaugh will be on the first plane to Canada or Mexico; he’s an empty suit who has nothing to offer but hateful invective which appeal to the basest instincts in people who are fearful of the change in the world around them and who need thoughtful strategies and intelligent debate.
Limbaugh is the L. Ron Hubbard of modern political commentary, a snake-oil salesman who belongs in a sideshow tent; without a single independent thought that hasn’t been bought and paid for by Republican lobby groups from tobacco to oil, from HMOs to mining, he’s a mouth for hire who doesn’t believe in debating issues when ad hominem attacks will suffice.
If you think L. Rush cares about you in any way, you’re mistaken – he’s in it for the money and the access to power.
“The problem with libs is that they set up these barriers that if you attack the messenger or issue they immediately label you a bigot or polictally(sic) incorrect….Rush keep right on exposes these trolls.”
Sorry, Jane, I think you’re projecting and generalizing. Have you actually listened to what Ann Coulter says? As for “these libs”, can you name a “lib” and cite a specific statement to support your assertion?
As for Rush, his proven gross factual errors (specific quotes, the dates these were made, and the truth are provided at FAIR.org) should make an intelligent person question his credibility. His copy plays well to some people who want simplistic answers, and I suppose scapegoating can be very seductive. Today it’s “the libs”, 50 years ago it was the commies, 70 years ago it was the Jews.
God, you people are (mostly) f-ing idiots. This post is about a contest give-away. Maybe you could comment on that? Whether you are a fan of Rush or not isn’t the point. But damn, just say his name and some of you people have a freaking heart attack.
From Spartacus: “If you think L. Rush cares about you in any way, you’re mistaken – he’s in it for the money and the access to power.”
Thank you, Spartacus. That’s the funny thing about it, that there are so many listeners out there who follow like sheep the word of a man who, even by his own admission, is on radio not out of any sense of altruism to the public good, but to make money off of polarizing the masses, riling the paranoid, and infuriating the opposition.
And before someone out there calls me a lefty commie socialist bastard or whatever for attacking Rush, let me say the same thing about left-wing polarizers as well.
If you’re a Rush listener, and listen to him to re-assess your point of view, or determine the opinions of the opposition, or whatever, but at the end of his program can still critically think and form your own opinions, then good for you– you have found some sort of value out of his program. If, however, you blindly follow his every word as gospel, then you might want to ask yourself whether you have the intelligence to decipher complex issues.
Not everything in the world is split between “lib” and “con”. The world’s problems and issues are far more complex than that. Those out there who rant “commie liberals make me sick” without any supportive reason demonstrate the IQ of a toaster. (And vice versa for “those nazi neo-con” attacks).
At the end of the day, Rush is there for one reason and one reason only. To make money– off of you listening to his advertisers. That’s it. He plans his day and his rants to illicit the greatest listener response. As a businessman, he is incredibly intelligent. As a human being (assuming he actually believes everything he says– though I’m sure a lot of his public persona is a strategic ploy), in my opinion he’s a sleazebag. But he sure gets the wingers in a tizzy and makes a lot of money doing so. Good for him for fleecing so many sheep.
You deserve a free iPhone for your balanced and clearly well-thought out elucidations, Hemorrhoid Rage.
Spartacus
You know when you use the term “neo con” you are speaking of moderate Democrats, don’t you?
There are many Republicans in the moderate camp also-far too many, and that is why there is no substance to our current Congress.
Middle of the road is not always the best place to be.
How can you be “moderate” on abortion? Death penalty? Gays in the military? The War on Terror? Capital gains tax? You are either for these, or against these.
Saying you are “ok” with abortion in the first trimester (as I do) means you are for it. Period. But I am totally against late term. Does that make me a moderate? No. I am a conservative who is wrong about abortion. There. It is that simple people.
Decide what you are for or against. All you folks calling people on the left or right “wingnuts” apparently don’t know what the fuck you think about anything. Probably the last person you heard on either side swayed you. Wow, what pride y’all must have “in the middle”. I have much more respect for a lefty that I disagree with than someone who has NO beliefs.
