      Chris Losinger wrote: Rush is horrible. people who parrot his nonsense are worse. I guess that makes me horrible too? I parrot his "nonsense" because I agree with him. If I didn't agree, I wouldn't listen. And no, I don't agree because I'm brain washed. Chris Losinger wrote: he won't take opposing viewpoints on his show, nobody is allowed to speak except for people who agree with him, or people too weak to defend themselves against his personality. Apparently you don't listen much. Liberal minded people call in all the time and he quite effectively puts down their arguments. I agree that Rush is very polarizing, but I have heard him give limited praise to some democrats for things they have done. Chris Losinger wrote: prove it. prove how Iraq is more of a danger than Saudi Arabia, NK or Pakistan. The people of SA and Pak may be more dangerous than most, but their governments seem to have a vested interest in being nice to the US. Saddam and NK, on the other hand, have governments that actively and vocally hate the US. Big difference there. Chris Losinger wrote: i don't think there's a valid reason for war. I'll accept that argument from you, but a large number of the protesters were communists (there was a communist table on the sidewalk in SF), anarchists and Bush haters. If Clinton or Gore were president, they would be silent as evidenced by their lack of opposition to BC's bombings of Iraq, et al. BTW, I have nothing against anti-war protesters who are actually against war for idiological reasons and who have actually thought about their opinions. These people probably would have been against WWII and that's their prerogative.

          I don't know who's the guy top-left on the front page, with the brilling smile, but he gives me desire to send slaps :) Because the war in Iraq will be for the good of Iraqui, I would like to know the position of the conservatives on Kurdistan.

                    Chris Losinger wrote: Rush is horrible Oh, he isn't that bad. At least he is honest about who and what he is. It's not like he is trying to hide behind phoney bipartisenship. Chris Losinger wrote: he won't take opposing viewpoints on his show, nobody is allowed to speak except for people who agree with him, or people too weak to defend themselves against his personality I don't listen to him much, but every time I do, I hear as many opposing phone calls as "ditto" ones. But, his show is *about* his personality and nothing else. Chris Losinger wrote: he isn't interested in balance, objective discussion; Which he admits up front. Listen to O'Rielly if you want that. Limbaugh articulates a forceful, yet fairly mainstream conservative argument and is very good at it. That is why he is disliked by those who disagree with him.
