Rush Limbaugh Poll

[Utah]

Well, I am not a conservative and I wont vote for Bush. But hey, I guess thats a typical liberal response. How dare someone question the supreme wisdom of a liberal!!! If you do you are clearly a zombie Fox News watching, Limbaugh listening, cant think for yourself moron.

And, if you got off your pseudo intellectual high horse for half a sec you would see that I simply asked for examples, which you did provide - although I disagree with.

Nothing you listed I would consider a lie. Wrong maybe, but nothing appears to be a lie. Some are clearly just opinions.

I would think it would be very easy to find thousands of factual errors from someone who speaks off the cuff for 4 hours a day for year after year. Nothing shocking there.

Thanks for reminding everyone of this statement by Gore. The whole landscape of the discussion has been changed!

For God's sake, Al Gore hasn't been in office for almost four years and he's not currently seeking office. What does your statement have to do with Rush Limbaugh?

Yeah, poor Rush! Poor, defenseless Rush! This kind of liberal hate-speech is what drove him to pop all those Oxycontin in the first place... in fact, we should probably serve his jail term for him because we're really the ones at fault for his depravity! (Everyone knows how strongly Rush supports sending drug addicts to jail.)

Seriously, how can you talk about 'fair' for a man that holds up a picture of a 13-year-old girl and calls her the 'White House dog?'

The man is far worse than Michael Moore any day of the week. He lies, distorts and attacks far more viciously and egregiously than anyone, with the possible exception of Ann Coulter.

He claimed there are more Indians alive today than there were when Columbus landed.

He claimed there are more trees, too.

He also claimed cigarettes don't cause cancer.

The man is not the least bit principled or interesting. He is a one-dimensional attack-dog for a laundry list of far-right causes, debasing political debate in this country with every word he spews. There are a host of conservative radio personalities far more worthy of air time.

"He claimed there are more Indians alive today than there were when Columbus landed."

Sounds surprising, doesn't it? Might it possibly be true???

I don't know if it is true or not.

Here's something surprising: there are more deer in the USA than when the Pilgrims landed. Approximately seven times as many, in fact. That's what happens when you remove the natural predators of a species that adapts well to semi-rural areas and suburbia.

M,

According to the BIA there were probably about 15 million 'Indians' in the US when Columbus landed.

Today there are fewer than 2 million that claim any Indian heritage (at last count I read several years ago; I think we can assume they have not multiplied exponentially), and many of those, of course, are not purely Indian or even a large percentage. And some of them just want to collect our rake. [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]

So, in this case, no, it doesn't happen to be true.

Most people who have American Indian ancestors don't know it. If you can trace your ancestry to people living in America around the civil war, odds are high that you are a descendant of Amerindians. In colonial times there were plenty of inter-marriages and "adoption" of hostages.

You are aware that the overwhelming majority of citizens of countries like Mexico and most of the rest of Latin America has Amerindian ancestry, aren't you?

This post is stupid.

Rush's shtick is to voice certain views in such a way as to be controversial. I view Rush the same way I view Michael Moore. Both have found a very lucrative way to enrich themselves. Anyone who takes either of them as being serious political pundits needs to get out more (or at least learn to formulate their own opinions).
