Which office is Rush running for?
Not surprised you turned this one around. Avoid the real question, in order to dodge your narrow minded logic.

Rush has been a nationally syndicated POLITICAL talk show host for 18 years, and yet he is unqualified to have a legitimate political opinion because he’s never ran for office.

I will stick too that, you think he knows more than the men that do that everyday for a living? My bad I forgot you Dittoheads think that every word that comes out of Maha Rushie's mouth across the Golden EIB microphone might as well have come from God himself.

Which question am I dodging?

Rush has been a nationally syndicated POLITICAL talk show host for 18 years, and yet he is unqualified to have a legitimate political opinion because he’s never ran for office.


LOL, so you think that makes him more qualified than the men that sat on this panel? How many bills has he sponsored? How many policies has he helped to create? How many heads of state has he met with to help shape foreign policy? How many war plans has he drawn up?

By your logic the Iraq Study Group might as well have had Boortz, Limbaugh, Blitzer, Rather, etc. on it instead of people that actually have political experience or served in a military post that have done this for a living at one time or another.

Having an opinion is one thing, actually knowing what the hell you are talking about is another.

Peace.

The ISG? No, I honestly don’t know how knowledgeable Rush is about the current Iraq situation, like I said, I don’t listen to him.

That’s not the issue. You’re claiming a political commentator for 18 yrs is unqualified to have a legitimate political opinion because he’s never ran for office.

He may not be as knowledgeable as some politicians and may not be as good a strategist as some military vets, but to deny his political insight is: foolish, irrational, and ignorant. At this point I’m sure you’re comfortable with those labels when it’s apparent in almost all your posts.

Vocally I’m sure he has done many, but ‘officially’ I have no idea, I don’t listen to him. Again, this is not the point.

ISG had very few new ideas, if any. I’ve heard a lot of those theories from non-politicians/non-military strategist before. Not from the people you mentioned...but other commentators and non-officials.

Yes indeed, get back to us when you have something other than an opinion.

Could have fooled me, you are doing a helluva job trying too defend him.

No, I am not saying he doesn't have a right to have a opinion, but to call this group "stupid" or there findings.

He may not be as knowledgeable as some politicians and may not be as good a strategist as some military vets, but to deny his political insight is: foolish, irrational, and ignorant. At this point I’m sure you’re comfortable with those labels when it’s apparent in almost all your posts.

LOL what is his political insight? Just because he has been on the radio babbling for 18 years so what? If you don't listen too him how the hell do you know of all this insight he has? BTW your posts show you are the smartest guy on these boards.

You guys are being pretty tough on Al Franken and Air America.

Rush, Hannity and Savage (the big 3) are genius at appealing to complete idiots and are able to keep millions of listeners tuned in for years....and yet Air America and Al Franken go bankrupt...

Is it that:

Liberals are genius and Franken is the idiot? Or
Franken is so smart he is unable to cater to idiots? Or
Franken and his audiences are both genius and they don’t need to hear arguments?

None of them are of any value too me. If you need someone to think for you, then what does that say about you?

Ahhhh...I get it. The top three radio hosts are conservatives; therefore any vocal conservative who has ever listened to one of them is just repeating what’s already been said? Any radio listener is just a human recording device.

Would that brilliant logic apply to all information and viewpoints?:

You read a book and state the information you learned in a discussion...but...it’s illegitimate because it came from the author first?

You attend a history class and use the facts you learned in a discussion...but...it’s illegitimate because it came from the professor first?


I can completely understand that someone more intelligent and coherent is of no value to you. It’s obvious you’ve done all the thinking for yourself since birth. Ignorance is bliss for some people...but, someday you might want to pull your head out of the sand and get some fresh air. I’m sure all the information and viewpoints will still be around whenever you do, we’re looking forward to it

Ok now that I have got through all the babble. First off if someone has a knowledge of a subject matter is one thing, but just to listen to someone's opinion of said subject matter is something entirely different. When someone tells you something do you take it as the law of the land or are you smart enough to check it out for yourself to make sure what they are telling you is the truth.

According to your logic Maha Rushie is smarter than everybody that was on the Iraq Study Group eventhough the majority of these men have held post dealing with the very subject matter the report was based on, but Maha Rushie who has never held any post is smarter than they are, he has more knowledge on the subject matter than they do. I think you are the one that needs to pull your head out of your 4th point of contact. I have heard people like you call his show and state, "Oh Rush what an honor to talk to you, I was lost before I started listening to your show." now what does that tell you? The point of all this is you don't take nobody's word until you check it out for yourself to make sure that what they are telling you is the truth.

Peace.
