No, you already know what I was talking about. This is a separate issue, and not at all confusing. Why not address the issue, instead of deflecting. Defend your man rush from what he said about michael J Fox. Not only was it asinine, offensive, immoral, and stupid. But it was also an enormous lie. The medicine is what causes the shaking. Rush i limbaugh is one of the worst human beings I am aware of currently on the planet, and yet segments of this society idolize him. It sickens me.

He's on the radio. He's not elected, not even running for office. If he's so terrible, why do people LIE?

He's not a racist?


Here are a couple of very nice quotes from the "non-racist"


"I mean, let’s face it, we didn’t have slavery in this country for over 100 years because it was a bad thing. Quite the opposite: slavery built the South. I’m not saying we should bring it back; I’m just saying it had its merits. For one thing, the streets were safer after dark."



"You know who deserves a posthumous Medal of Honor? James Earl Ray [the confessed assassin of Martin Luther King]. We miss you, James. Godspeed."



"Take that bone out of your nose and call me back"(to an African American female caller).




I will find some sexist and homophobic comments if you want me to.

Deflecting? Did you miss my post requesting clarification of the lies you heard? I'm deflecting?

I thought the Michael J Fox thing showed a lack of class. I'm talking about the way Rush moved when he was talking about it, not what Rush said. I don't know why you say that the meds cause shaking. Perhaps Fox own words would help.

...Snippets of my testimony were featured on several of the nightly news broadcasts. One line in particular from my prepared statement got a lot of play: "In my forties, I can expect challenges most people wouldn't face until their seventies and eighties, if ever. But with your help, if we all do everything we can to eradicate this disease, when I'm in my fifties I'll be dancing at my children's weddings." I had made a deliberate choice to appear before the subcommittee without medication. It seemed to me that this occasion demanded that my testimony about the effects of the disease, and the urgency we as a community were feeling, be seen as well as heard. For people who had never observed me in this kind of shape, the transformation must have been startling.

Can you elaborate on that, with examples, and context, and events that would help build that profile?

Then do not assume. Ask.

Then ask for support for his assertions.

That is pretty close minded. I am sure there is a reason to insult you. I mean, you've got to keep an open mind about it. Is the ONLY reason he is insulting you (apparently, maybe that is a part that he edited out), or are there other reasons? What part or proportion did a lack of understanding as to how public polls work play or contribute to the insult of you?

Is this a theatrical overstatement of your case?

Why?

Do it all you want, but your personal feeling towards Limbaugh have nothing to do with the poll, or the question at hand.
Maybe technically, his actual opinion has nothing to do with the thread's question or the poll's response, but in debating the issue, details are helpful in discussion to ascertain the validity of statements included in that discussion, as well as statements not included and attitudes concerning the discussion and its topic.

Aesthetic value lends nothing to validity.
