Re: Phony Soldiers (long)
[ QUOTE ]
My reading of the complete transcript of Limbaugh's comments is that his epithet "phony soldiers" was meant for those soldiers who have enlisted with motives other than fighting Islamofascism and are critical of our government or military or the war effort in Iraq. That Limbaugh edited the broadcast when he rebroadcasted it to try to show a relationship between his "phony soldiers" remark and his "fake soldier" story is telling. Ultra-patriot that he is (or portrays himself), with his often cutting characterizations of those whose viewpoints with which he doesn't agree, it would certainly not be out of character for him to call those whose motives are not "pure" "phony soldiers." [/ QUOTE ] One can infer a lot from reading this transcript, but in fairness, he does not help himself much by not clearly indicating the context of the remark when he said it. I am a regular listener (I listen daily to both sides, BTW), and it was clear to me then that he threw this out in reference to a prior segment some days earlier in which he described what he believed to be "phony soldiers".. those who were presented to the public as having negative views on the war but were later discredited as in the case of the one he spoke of in the transcript. I think he assumed that people would know what he was referring to. Whatever, without knowing this, it is easy to draw a different conclusion.

Re: Limbaugh Smear Letter: Why Talk Radio is Needed
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] And saying the 41 senators who signed the letter as using "stalinist tactics " does not equate to labeling Harry "Dingy" Reid, as a stalinist, btw. Which is what I believe Felix said when I reread his statement. [/ QUOTE ] Yeah, good ole Joe and his legendary tactics of just publicly speaking out against his political rivals. [/ QUOTE ] Sensational and dramatic much ? Just read the guys post and my response in context. Of course, you don't care about that. Cause then, you have nothing to say! [/ QUOTE ] I read it all in context. Whether you call Reid a Stalinist or the tactics as Stalinist, both are very poor analogies. A senator being an ass and speaking out against Rush Limbaugh on the Senate floor is not quite the same as sending thousands to their deaths for their beliefs, which would be a Stalinist tactic. But hey yeah whatever. [/ QUOTE ] No [censored]. Whatever, man. And I wasn't even the one who asked the f'n question! Geeeeeeeezus. You are obviously lost. [/ QUOTE ] No, you were the one who jumped in to point out that Felix didn't call Reid a Stalinist, just his tactics. As if that makes a difference. Which now you admit it doesn't. Good game. [/ QUOTE ] Yeah. Just answer one easy question. Is intimidation or government action to do so, as in 41 moronic Senators signing a bogus hit piece, to squelch speech, a stalinist tactic ?

[/ QUOTE ] No, it's not. This is what everyone is screaming at you. People on both the "right" and "left" who use ridiculous analogies like this do nothing but further the horrible climate and stop legitimate discussion from taking place. To make it clear to you: a Stalinist tactic would be taking Rush Limbaugh out back and shooting him, and then doing the same with anyone who asks questions. That this is bad and overstepping the ideal bounds of government does not make calling it Stalinist reasonable.

There is the golden projection, that all you libs use. And to think, I didn't even start this. You folks are everything that is cliche'...
