It appears that you hate Rush and all conservatives because they don't believe the same things you do Rush is horrible. people who parrot his nonsense are worse. it doesn't really have anything to do with "conservatism"; in my eyes, he's no better than Al Sharpton or anyone else who polarizes every issue into Us vs Them. Black vs. White, Conservative vs. Liberal, whatever. his whole M.O. is to find a topic, find a way to polarize it, then rant about it. 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. he isn't interested in balance, objective discussion; he's only interested in pushing the Liberal vs Conservative line - even when it has no bearing on the topic. so it's not "news", but calling it entertainment is a cop-out. Friends is entertainment; Rush speaks about current events and issues and puts a polarized policital spin on everything (everything except his commercial spots, of course). "conservatives" are a different story. but i try hard to let each one of them define themselves before i pass judgement.

Jason Henderson wrote: fact that most prominent democrats were all for the missle strikes but now, when there is a clear and present danger from terrorists receiving aid from Saddam, the democrats all line up behind the anti-war protesters more democrats voted for GWB's blank check than voted against it, incuding all of the current major democratic presidential candidates. Jason Henderson wrote: Its not about being against war, its about being against Bush isn't it Chris? i don't think there's a valid reason for war. there are many issues that need to be worked on, but i don't think a full-scale invasion, occupation and rebuilding of Iraq is the best way to do it. i can think of better ways to spend half a trillion taxpayer dollars. i dislike GWB for a hundred other things he's done, too. but, i'm not singleminded in it - he's done a couple of things that i thought were decent. overall, i give him a D+.

    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.
