RUSH WHEN IS THE REPUBLICAN PARTY GOING TO WISE UP TO THE FACT THAT RUSH LIMBAUGH IS NO FRIEND OF THEIRS. PEOPLE ARE WAKING UP AND REALIZING THAT WHAT RUSH COUNTS ON FOR FAME AND FORTUNE IS HATE. HATE WORKS FOR A WHILE, ESPECIALLY WHEN PEOPLE ARE HURTING AND THERE IS NO ONE TO BLAME. LIMBAUGH WILL DIRECT THEIR PAIN IN THE DIRECTION OF THE "REAL" ENEMY THAT HE CONJURES UP IN HIS DAMAGED FRONTAL LOBES. BUT LATELY, IT'S NOT WORKING VERY WELL. IT WON'T BE LONG WHEN POOR OLD BRAIN FOGGED RUSH WILL HAVE NO FRIENDS LEFT. EXCEPT FOR MAYBE, THOSE OTHER BRUTISH, SIMON LEGREES, AT FOX. thinkingblue


READ ON:

Rush Limbaugh still getting kid-glove treatment on FOXNews.com (WHAT ELSE IS NEW)Reported by Chrish - September 28, 2007 -

As noted this morning, FOXNews.com was not covering the story of Rush Limbaugh's insulting comment, calling some US troops who criticize the Iraq war or call for an end to it "phony soldiers" who show up "out of the blue." Read full background at MediaMatters.org.

As of 7pm EDT there are two links to stories on the FOX webpage, but note that although they are titled differently and have seperate links, they are the same AP story and are entitled to shift focus to Democrats: Dems Criticize Limbaugh's Comments and Democrats Criticize Rush Limbaugh's 'Phony Soldiers'

Remark.Seeing as this is Friday night, fully expect FOX to ignore all weekend (no special on this one!) and dismiss as old news by Monday, unlike with the MoveOn ad, when there was round-the-clock outrage for two weeks with a weekend special to keep the story alive.

FOX doesn't have talking points in place for this - what could they say? "Taken out of context" just doesn't fool too many people when there is a transcript and audio recording, although Limbaugh did try to defend himself today with an edited tape. Keep diggin', maybe he can keep it alive over the weekend all by himself! But expect FOX to continue to ignore, partisan hacks that they are. This is a great example of how they are unfair and unbalanced - having Kirsten Powers on with Michelle Malkin is meaningless window dressing. This gatekeeping of what gets covered is the real meat of the matter.

The waterboy again (none / 0)

I heard Rush today apologize to the troops on behalf of Media Matters because they refuse to apologize for publishing his remarks.  I kid you not, that's pretty much what he said.

So Rush feels that Media Matters should apologize to the troops for pointing out that Rush called a man who identified himself as a former military man a "phoney soldier" because he criticized the war.  That's hilarious since Rush's whole existence revolves around marginalizing anyone who disagrees with the Republican machine for which he is the waterboy-in-chief.

He's the waterboy, first and foremost, and that's all he is.

Limbaugh coined that phrase (none / 0)
Rush Limbaugh has called the MoveOn.org "General Petraeus or General Betray Us?" advertisement "contemptible" and "indecent," but months earlier, on his radio show, he told his audience that he had a new name for Senator Chuck Hagel: "Senator Betrayus." Though Limbaugh has taken exception to accusations that he has attacked the patriotism of his political opponents, the "Senator Betrayus" remark is one of several instances in which Limbaugh has done so.

Any critism of anyone...anyone..who puts on a uniform in the all vouleenteer force by Limpballs is just more conservative cowdice...something that all the draft dogers in the Bush Administration, the RNC and conservative posters here in the TYT know all to well.

Go start an immigration thread with your xenophobic rants if you like. But since you brought it up

free highschool education

Other than ultra rightwing Christian retards and the very rich who go to private schools...who pays for a high scool education? If your parents did maybe its not to late get a refund.

access to tax payer subsidized tuition  Tuition to what? Prove it.

given universal health care

They are? Prove it. Where do they get there insurnace cards? What are there deductables...where do they sign up?

If your going to make up stuff at least try to appear like you know what your talking about.

I can't even recall the case, but it was early 80's. I recall that all U.S. citizens and noncitizens for that matter have a constitutional right to a K-12 education. The constitution makes no more mention of education then it does the right ot an abortion yet people have that right too.

Let me help you...again (none / 0)

The constitution makes no more mention of education.

Your right and neither does the decision.
Activist judges did not create " a right of a free education for illeagle aliens." Thats not what happened no matter how you and the Tancredo crowd try to spin it. 

Plyler vs. Doe 1982 rulled it is unconstitutional to deny a public education to children who are in the U.S. illegally, based on the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment of the Constitution, which says “no State shall…deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.”

 This summation by the "activist" Supreme Court

"Whatever his status under the immigration laws, an alien is a "person" in any ordinary sense of that term. This Court's prior cases recognizing that illegal aliens are "persons" protected by the Due Process Clauses of the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments, which Clauses do not include the phrase "within its jurisdiction," cannot be distinguished on the asserted ground that persons who have entered the country illegally are not "within the jurisdiction" of a State even if they are present within its boundaries and subject to its laws "

Instead, use of the phrase "within its jurisdiction" confirms the understanding that the Fourteenth Amendment's protection extends to anyone, citizen or stranger, who is subject to the laws of a State, and reaches into every corner of a State's territory.

The solution....dont let them in or don't provide public funds for education.  But...

Your buddy Bush can't seem to stop all those cheap laborers from coming in since his cronies make big bucks.
Conservative Godhead Ronald Reagan helped this along when his AG said during a congressional hearing:

“We have neither the resources, the capability, nor the motivation to uproot and deport millions of illegal aliens, many of whom have become, in effect, members of the community. By granting limited legal status to the productive and law-abiding members of this shadow population, we will recognize reality and devote our enforcement resources to deterring future illegal arrivals.” William French Smith AG of the US

THE OLE' BAIT AND SWITCH (none / 0)
The right wing-nuts have done it again... This post was about THE ENORMOUS BALLS OF ONE RUSH LIMBAUGH AND HIS HYPOCRITICAL WAGGING TONGUE .  Not about the sad state of affairs within the illegal alien community (as if they had a community)... The xenophobes of the right live in a one dimensional world where they will, tooth and nail, protect one of their own by switching the subject to something they loath and fear. VOILA ILLEGALS! Hey, I guess if the media can repeatedly fall for the ROVIAN spinmeister's tactics ...

i.e.

In need of a pick-me-up, Bush looked toward the back of the room and found "Big Stretch," the conservative journalist Bill Sammon of the Washington Examiner. Sammon obliged, asking whether Bush thinks Democrats should repudiate MoveOn.org's ad attacking Gen. David Petraeus.

Bingo -- another chance to criticize Democrats in Congress.

Bingo. The right wing spin machine in action. The MoveOn bashing is clearly being led by the Bush spin team. They'd rather talk about anything than the real war. They must just sit back and laugh at how easy it is to manipulate the media after all these years.
 



...then I can understand why you, MRFred can fall for their antics too. (they really are good at their craft) But you and I mustn't let their silly tricks fool us so easily. After all, they depend on what is in their bag of tricks given to them by the seniors at the top of their abominable pile of hate. We should be able to recognize their rhetoric, since they use the same old short witted punts over and over and over again. Watch for my next video on Rush Limibaugh's PHONEY SOLDIERS shtick.

The Democrats believe illegals SHOULD is what I said (scroll up if you don't believe me.) I didn't say they do athough they clearly are receiving instate tution in many states.

 Have you seen Senator Durbin's DREAM act that will give illegal aliens cheaper tuition than many legal residents in some cases. All illegal aliens get instate tuition in all states. U.S. citizens will only get instate tuition in their respective states where their parents PAY taxes. Dingy Harry Reid supports that idea too.

You should rephrase (none / 0)

Well it seems that its a bipartisan piece of legislation! Somehow you seem to think this is strictly a Democratic piece of legislation...

"DREAM Act, which addresses  young people who grew up in the United States and have graduated from U.S. high schools but whose future is circumscribed by current immigration laws, has been introduced in the Senate by Senators Orrin Hatch (R-UT) and Richard Durbin (D-IL)"

You forgot Orin....don't forget Orin (R)...Mr Conservative. What do you know..its a bipartisan piece of legislation! 

By the way "the Department of Defense  favors of the DREAM Act specifically the bill's promise of legal status to members of the military as a means of boosting recruitment."  More phony "citizen" soldiers for Iraq. Rush must be thrilled.

There are scores of examples of phoney soldiers. 
 
We've even had phoney soldiers in this forum. (The character "BigSky Child" quickly disappeared after the linked exchange.)

They are apocryphal inventions of liberals who have no respect for military personnel. Liberals shamefully construct these "people" in an effort to deveop a negative story line about the war effort.

With liberals, the ends always justify the means. They do whatever necessary to acquire power so they can implement socialism. I would prefer that they simply move to a socialist country.

Bush wants cuts to veterans' health care (none / 0)
 “The Bush administration plans to cut funding for veterans’ health care two years from now — even as badly wounded troops returning from Iraq could overwhelm the system. Bush is using the cuts, critics say, to help fulfill his pledge to balance the budget by 2012. … Even though the cost of providing medical care to veterans has been growing rapidly — by more than 10 percent in many years — White House budget documents assume consecutive cutbacks in 2009 and 2010 and a freeze thereafter.”   Is this what conservatives call pro troops?

Speaking of apocryphal Iraq veterans and journalists, course there's Jeff Gannon. I wont regale you with the details most of you already know but his comment at the Log Cabin Republican Dinner this summer sums up Repug and Conservative thought when it comes to his past misdeeds in particular and governing in general. "Responsible people see it my way, that it doesn't matter." Ends and means.

The corollary to this is "It only matters if I can get a tax cut."...right Ken? 

Perhaps Texas can succeed from the Union again. You guys can become there own little reactionary paradise, where everyone makes big bucks and lives in gated communities,  all poor are winos derelicts and drug addicts relegated to death, no environmental regulations, no pesky over site.  You could deport all people who refuse to register Republican or accept Jesus Christ as there Personal Lord and Politician.

Women would be prohibited from wrapping towels around there head after a shower upon penalty of death! 

Tom Delay could be President of Texas! He could reopen his pest control business without all those pesky rules.

Education? Close all those inner city schools! School vouchers for all! Of course all the schools are in the gated communities that inner city folks can't get too.

Everyone packs heat. Crime would be down because all suspects, witnesses and people in the radius of fire are shot before anyone gets to trial...Hey , look! A new tax cut opportunity...you could get rid of courts!

Health care. No problem. Close all those nasty emergency rooms. Open private hospitals in the gated communities. All those chronically ill , the handicapped ,deformed children, or people stricken by metal disease (and their families) would come quickly come under the winos derelicts and drug addicts category once their money ran out, relegated to death.

Public servants?  Fire'em! Blackwater can take over the police.

Citizen service is a repudiation of the principles upon which our country was based. We are all here for ourselves." Rush Limbaugh
