Whatever, Limbaugh is pushing propo that affects voters and it serves very specific political interests.
His latest gaffe went way over the line. I've seen the video of his making these remarks on air:
Limbaugh: "But there was a cover story on me coming out of one of the big news magazines, and it was going to totally mischaracterize me and what I do and how I do it. And we found out who was writing it and made a couple phone calls to the person writing it. And we said, "You know what? We're going to find out where your kids go to school. We're going to find out who you knocked up in high school. We're going to find out what drugs you used. We're going to find out where you go to drink and do -- we're gonna find out how you paid for your house. We're going to do -- and we're going to do exact -- and we're going to say that, you know what? You are no different than Al Goldstein. You both masturbate."
I don't have kids (yet). But I know that them there's fighting words. Only a punk would resort to such nonsense.
Sort of like the time (the definitive portrait of the man's character) when, in the early 90s, on his short lived TV show, he put up a picture of Socks saying "this is the Clinton's cat." Then he said "this is the Clinton's dog," and up pops a picture of 13 year old Chelsea.
Then when people howled "Fowl!" the fat fool had the audacity to say a studio tech put up the wrong picture. Al Franken had an argument once with Hannity in FOX's green room about AF's book title, "RL is a big, fat idiot." Franken pointed out that it was a joke, cuz Limbaugh pulls similar ad hominems all the time. Hannity said "name one" Franken said "does Chelsea Clinton count?"
Hannity, joining hands in slime with Rush, said, "Rush has explained that, it was a mistake . . ." etc.
Franken asked "OK, what picture was supposed to come up? The Clinton's didn't have a White House dog at the time." (Buddy came years later)
As Franken tells it, Alan Colmes chimed in with "Yeah, what picture was it that was supposed to have been put up?"
Hannity and Limbaugh. What a pair. First Limbag has the gall to pull such a joke and then doesn't have the balls to own up to or apologize for it and there's aggressively incurious Hannity, backing him to the hilt.
