Several days ago I encountered you folks on another ThinkProgress thread about biased media. It was the first time that I had participated in an on-line discussion. Happy to see you all here because you each have a great turn of phrase, extensive vocabularies, and superior writing skills. Very enjoyable reading.

I’ve been laughing since last evening when I read tombakers post #163:

“Can the Porcine Pederast save the G-O-P!? – tune in tomorrow for the next spine-tingling episode…”

And, WAYNEBRO’s post #206:

Porkulus.

Everytime he says the word I picture him wearing a toga and a curly blond wig, wearing sandals and quoting Euripides.

Flavius Porkulus.

Flavious Porkulus, the Porcine Pederast! I just can’t stop laughing.

Thanks all.

I am not much for am radio. Still you are mistaken. I have gotten quite a few chuckles at the expense of Rush’s show on the rare occasions that i have listened.

See. It works. So do many others. I get more laughs from him then I do from Jay Leno. Jay just doesn’t do it for me.

I think Keith and Rachel are a laugh riot though. So much hypocrisy all in one place. Geeez I can hardly stand it. Now they are trying to be serious. That’s the biggest joke of all. They think they are reporting the truth in the swill that they spew all over the airways. Something like this place.
They are even ashamed to call themselves Liberals. It’s Progressives now. A laugh riot I say.

See and the whole time I thought he was just hawking adjustable beds. I didn’t realize there was anything more to it and that it was suppose to be entertaining. Now why do you think all those whatever they call themselves (is it dittoheads?)think that he is something more than an entertainer just saying shit written for him to read. I sure am glad they didn’t execute him what with the drugs and all. I am sure he never really ment that. I suppose he was just trying to be entertaining

The shit that you say is written for him to read doesn’t exist. So you posting without the facts. Hey I thought you Liberals were into facts.

Have you listened to him? He gives people a forum to express their views. Furthers the Conservative train of thought.
Causes people to think about what is happening in the world. Exposes idiocy in both parties (yes I said both parties).

And he’s just entertaining. Ditto heads are just people who think that it’s good to hear an opposing view, not that they agree with everything that he says.

You don’t know that because your liberal dogma prevents you from listening to his program. Many enlighten Liberals listen to his program often.

There are 10 million people who listen for themselves and they are not all Republicans.

He readily take calls from people who disagrees with him, in fact he puts them to the front of the line.

As far as the drug thing is concerned, well I think people should be given a second and even third chance. Beyond that I have no compassion for them.

Hi professorj
No classes today? So is Rush’s show biased?

What a stupid question Dickie. Of course he’s bias. He’s also an entertainer. He never claimed to be anything else.

He does admit that he is a strong Conservative. He’s prod to be one and it’s the basis of his show. Why? Don’t you know these things?

No Dickie. No classes today. I’m semi retired. I only give lectures now.

Actually, they’r the cockroaches. They lie, they demonize decent people, they make groups of people hate each other, and they advocate most of the worst crimes that humanity is capable of. Which is why yes, it is disturbing that such cockroaches get high viewership. It tells me that there are a lot of evil people in the world.

I’ve read you condescending comment about a person you have never heard on the radio.

Don’t be so dumb. Talk from knowledge not from what some liberal biased site or biased TV program idiot says.

Yes you can get all your marching orders from Media Matters or George Soros but it’s not unbiased.

Look in the mirror your stupidity and hate is showing.
Hey! Where are the Facts that you dimwits keep calling for from Republicans here. I don’t see any.

Whine whine whine. Ignorant bigoted whining now.

He admitted his addiction and kicked it.

Did he publicly recant his stance that all drug addicts should be immediately imprisoned?

PS: All heroin junkies claim to have “kicked” until they’re caught again. If all we have to go on is his word… well, let’s just say the recidivism rate is extremely high.

Excellent point, ElBruce. In fact, fifty years ago, the conventional wisdom in medical science was that an addiction to heroin could not be overcome. “Once a junkie, always a junkie” was the saying — and this was what doctors believed.

That’s not the case now, but, as you say, the recidivism rate is still extremely high.

On the other hand you always have Keith Olbermann (the head) and Rachel Maddow (the lez) to get your message out. Lets see there must be at least a couple hundred people who watch those two. To quote Rachel “yup”.

A more accurate comparison to your list would be if the liberals in America were taking our marching orders from Howard Stern.

Did it ever occur to you that maybe liberals don’t listen to the radio as much as conservatives do?

More likely we’re listening to NPR or music. Not a lot of liberals seem to spend a lot of time having their opinions reinforced. The wingnuts seem to be trying to make a virtue of the fact that they create comfy, cocoon-like media bubbles for themselves.

Many will do anything to get what they need. Surely a kind understanding moral Liberal Socialist can understand that?

It can be difficult getting around the difficulty of someone who is so devoid of mercy for others who are having difficult times in their lives demanding it of himself.

professorj Says:

What you Rush haters are really upset about is his 40 million dollar contract, his hundreds of stations and the 10 million listeners who hear how you Liberal Socialists are screwing up the country. You have to shut people like Rush O’Reily Shaun Hannity and all the others out there because they illuminate the dark corners where Socialism and Liberalism hide and they force you cockroaches to scurry for the dark.

Actually, they’r the cockroaches. They lie, they demonize decent people, they make groups of people hate each other, and they advocate most of the worst crimes that humanity is capable of.

You’re right, professorish-guy. The lies, distortions, water-carrying, demonization and hypocrisy don’t bother us a bit.

Are you SURE you have an academically-trained mind?

Because frankly, I’m beginning to have my doubts.

For instance, gunner makes an admittedly vulgar accusation of Limbaugh’s drug use, avoidance of service and unconventional sexual tastes. (These things are well-known, by the way.)

The Ole Perfessor-ish Guy makes the leap of illogic that gunner must also be addicted to heroin, as a strategy to defend the right-wing icon. He makes this assumption in the absence of any evidence to support it, aside from the rather dubious conclusions to be drawn from the style of gunner’s prose.

This judgment does not seem to rest of any logical foundation, but rather on a primitive impulse to deflect damaging charges away from a figure he admires by projecting them back onto the accuser.

This tactic, in logician circles, is known as “lame”.
