Let school children get one-half hour of instruction that doesn't involve showing our military as nothing other than a humanitarian force of good...and people go apeshit....

This is so typical of Rush and that gang on intellectal pinheads that call themselves Ditto Heads . They do exactly as the article pointed out they take the information that fits their World View and accept it regardless of the source . Sort of like Cheney and his accepting the testimonny of Curveball
as manna from heaven. RUSH based his attack on that 12 year old on some yoyo's internet blog . It turned out to be as full of HOT AIR as EL Rushbo himself .
I think the only one worse than Rush is Matt Drudge who never met an anti Liberal rumor he didn't EMBRACE and yet who is famous for being WRONG as in his smear against Kerry last year concerning a young lady .
The sad part is the right wing echo chamber is on the air 24/7 repaeting their lies until they become the conventional wisdom . Here in New York WABC got rid of a very articulate leftist Ron Kuby who had a morning talk show with Curtis Sliwa where BOTH the Left and the Right points of view were heard . Citidal Communications decided to replace the Curtis and Kuby show with Don Imus in spite of the former having had better ratings when they went head to head . Curtis the right winger was told another slot would be found for him . While Kuby was told to take the last month off and that there were NO plans for him . The station now consists EXCLUSIVELY of right wing talkers with the likes of Rush and Sean and Mark Levin . There is a desperate need for the Country to decentralize the media and return to the fairness doctrine ( killed by Ronnie Reagan) . It is impoassible to make an informed decision if all one hears is ONE side amd today THAT is what the FCC has given us

Yes, Rush is one to complain about this issue... given that he called an American soldier a suicide bomber simply because he disagreed with him.

Nevermind that not only is this man an actual combat veteran.. unlike Rush... but he even suffered serious head injuries from an IED in Iraq.

Honor conscientious objectors? They should be honored LONG before chickenhawks like Rush Limbaugh, Karl Rove, George W. Bush, and Dick Cheney. And before monsters like Colin Powell who assisted in the attempt to cover up the My Lai Massacre and then lied us into a war with Iraq.

Enough already - wasn't it bad enough he blatered about the 11 year old with brain damage about SCHIP? That family got death threats when his home address and telephone number were announced to the public. Why doesn't someone sue Lumbaugh for slander, character assassination and libel?

I occasionally listen to parts of the Limbaugh radio program to see what kinds of lies and innuendos he is spouting. I can't take more than 15 minutes or so at a time; and I usually turn it off with an expletive under my breath said to no one in particular--as though Rash could hear it himself.

He has been defamed; but the ditto heads continue to follow his leadership toward fascism. They can spout every talking point he gives and make up more.

It will give me great pleasure when he is discredited, or maybe charged with prescription drug charges and ends up in jail.

For pity's sake, a high school student doing a science project on voice recognition proved that most of Diarrhea's callers are the same twelve people. Probably his staffers, since they feed him "questions" that he has pre-prepared crapola on. All the garbage that he advertises has been caught being bought by the sponsors themselves. The single and only person I know who listens to rightwingnut sewage is a two-toothed redneck who lives in a duct-taped trailer, who certainly isn't going to be buying high-end items.

Are we being fooled into providing these jerkoffs with the publicity they crave by responding to them? Are they desperately trying to provoke our outrage because only people who can't remember their own phone number leave their radios tuned to those stations? Should we maybe just point and laugh instead?

Eastern philosophy in general is founded on a concept called maya, which is the world, not as it actually is, but the world we create due to ignorance and misunderstanding. Each person has his or her own reality, woven of various elements such as cultural conditioning, religious dogma, conventional wisdom, common myths, family traditions plus the thoughts, images and everyday impressions we string together that affect our thinking and our actions. Liberation consists of cutting through this miasma of self-delusions and self-deceptions and all the unreal fabrications we allow to hide simple truths about ourselves and the world we live in.

Reams of books have been written on the subject of maya, and history tells us that many have succeeded in liberating themselves to become their own persons, but the average person is so conditioned and so hypnotized, so hopelessly literal in their thinking, so susceptible to the lies and fabrications of others that they are totally lost in a maya of their own unconscious making.

People in power learn to play on human weaknesses and the human desire to believe the world is the way they have been conditioned to believe it is. Twisting the truth is as old as humanity itself. We all do it. But when it becomes a technique that naive and gullible people swallow without reservation, it becomes a poison to the system.

People like Rush Limbaugh have a powerful hold on the imaginations and the emotions of people who want to believe the world is the way Rush says it is. They feed on his harangues and his lies to keep their illusions alive. Their world view is shaped by what they insist on believing even though there may not be a word of truth in what he says. Rush is a master of deception.

We are all caught up in a net of our own weaving, but some of us strive to cut through to understand better how things really are. This technique has sometimes been called
"peeling the onion." That means we spend our time thoughtfully resisting what doesn't ring true but that others may swallow without thinking and we try, layer by layer to peel to the inner core to find if a truth lies there or if it's merely all onion all the way through.

A truely fair and honest press would help to clarify what is actually happening in the world around us so that we could draw our own conclusions, but I despair that it is even possible these days to pry people loose from their cherished fantasies long enough to see how limited and unreal our belief systems often are. Governments and religious authorities have always dealt with the knowledge that the public is quite malleable and can be made to think and to act on what they are told to believe.

Believing a thing has never made it true. To get out of the trap that holds so many Americans enthralled by misinformation, lies, deceptions, illusions, fantasies has to be a personal endeavor, but is helped along by the real desire to know the truth of things. I don't think it can happen in this country until the liars are exposed, the truth is available by a more enlightened press and the people really want to know.

Question authority!

my morning coffee drinking buddies. What kind of a lie would you tell for 20,000,000 dollars a year. They told me that they would tell good ones. Some told me that they would lie for less. Some of them told me that they even lied for free on occasion. I reminded them that this is what Rush Limbaugh got paid for his lies.

Then one of them told me that he caught a fish that was so big that the picture weighed 10 pounds. The point is that there are people that have stopped listening to Rush.
