Conservative Demagogues

What do demagogues do but try to rile the danders of other biased individuals? What have any of the aforementioned people done besides comment on what other doers do? They sit in air conditioned studios barking out their condemnations of other people who don't think as they do. It doesn't seem to matter to them that they are telling half-truths or that what they say about someone(who isn't allowed to rebut them face to face) is in fact untrue. Would cowardly bullies fit their description?

Question

Take a moment to think about this question. A vacation house on Martha's Vineyard? How incredibly effete! They must have polled this one all the way down to the Hamptons. I'm sure none of those toothless rednecks in fly-over country were asked. Hell, they don't even support "the Golden One". It seems in the northeast the superiority and snobbery are boundless.

Besides 99% of the country don't even know who Keith Olbermann and Chris Matthews are. Only the enlightened ones know Keith and Chris.

Want Rush living next door to your kids?

Limbaugh took his Viagra on down to his boy-child sex trade vacation spot and there are folks who would want him as a neighbor? They can have him. Maybe they'll even let him babysit for them.

Limbaugh

I'd actually love to have him next door. I'd take the opportunity to confront him every possible chance. He'd be gone pretty soon. Just as the Mormons don't come to my door anymore.

Vacation neighbor

I don't think Rush would bother me being next door. He's just a big gas bag. I wouldn't want Bill O'Reilly within ten miles of me. He's not only a gas bag, but a verbally abusive pig who has a violent temper and has been sued for sexual harrassment. He and his loofa can just stay as far away from me as humanly possible.

Druggies

If you rule out druggies like Rush for neighbors that also shoots down sticky fingers Cindy McCain. At least Rush paid for his drugs instead of stealing them from charity.

You are some kind of stupid. Your contention that Limbaugh "really doesn't make headlines for being a disagreeable person" flies in the face of all reality. Your favorite felon,(unfortunately, addiction or no, he is a convicted felon) is best known for his Howard Stern like circus show. The big difference is Stern throws hookers and strippers under the buss while Limbaugh throws his country with enthuiasm. Yokels like you have been the downfall of our once proud nation. Please remember this quote on election night. "Now this is happening!" Jack Black

LIMBAUGH

I served my time in VIE-NAM and I would never like to live even close to a CHICKENHAWK who skiped out of serving because of a PIMPLE on his ASS. Or was it his fathers CONNECTIONS. I just not inclined to like CHICKENHAWKS near me if I can prevent it.

Moving out

If I lived next to oreally or limpballs I would pray for a foreclosure. For me or them it wouldn't really matter as long as I wasn't living next to either of them anymore.

Rush

We all may have rants in our minds, but we don't all spend our working life propagating bigotry, hate, and regressive politics. Hitler may have also been a very nice person in private.
