    Where are the leftist complaints about MSNBC? Or Letterman?

    Where are the left wing media complaints about OWS breaking multiple laws daily?

    I'm not a leftist, but this thread is about Rush Limabaugh. It's not aboit MSNBC, nor about the OWS protests. I don't condone law breaking beyond civil disobedience when necessary, and I don't support MSNBC any more than i support Fox News, which is to say i don't support them at all.

    None of that changes the fact that Rush Limbaugh is intentionally divisive and misleading.

    Then don't listen. Listening increases his income. I don't listen and I am a conservative.

    Well as a conservative you should maybe make it your business to criticize Limbaugh, Beck and other lousy demagogues whenever they discredit Conservatism by making misleading and false remarks.
    I only follow US-politics from afar: while I'm sure that there must be sane and honest Conservatives in the US the picture of US-Conservatism we get over here is mainly dominated by utter weirdos like the ones mentioned above. If I were you that would bug me.

    Yeah it's hilarious how bad he fouled up. I guess half his brain being tied behind his back to make it "fair" is hurting him :p.

    I was thinking more along the lines of the Red Guards.

    They bug me like the entire staff of MSNBC bugs me. But this is the USA. Left or right wing nuts have free speech. And I have the freedom to ignore both wacko's. Just like when idiots on this forum prove themselves to be cement brained idiots, I place them on my ignore list.

    While I may ignore people's posts I have not put anybody on my ignore list yet, nor will I ever do.

    That's all well and good, and its your prerogative to ignore whomever you wish, but just as you have a right to ignore people and the corporate media has a right to say what they want, I have a right to be vocally critical of them.

    Some I put on ignore, others I chuckle at their paranoia.

    Paranoid, no. Aware, yes. Though, I find it preferable to be paranoid and aware than to be ignorantly lead around as a mule pulling a load to get a carrot hanging from a string in front of him.

    By all means, though, keep reaching for that carrot if it makes you happy.

    Caught my carrot years ago, been retired for a decade. Will be taking my 53rd cruise in the near future. Wore out a motor home traveling all over the US, and have traveled all over Europe and numerous places in the Far East [in addition to the free trips Uncle Sam gave me years ago].

    But I do agree, better that you're paranoid than to be as unaware and misinformed as most liberals are on this forum.

    I'm glad you've had a fulfilling life. I am sure you earned what you've gotten, including your free trips on the social dime. I don't begrudge you a thing.

    I'm better informed than anyone that believes supporting either Democrats or Republicans will change anything. I'm not paranoid, however. I don't believe that people are out to get me. I simply see that the top level of the control structure is beyond the apparatus of the Federal Government and that level of control has more direct influence on the government than the governed, which is contrary to the notion of democracy, liberty, and justice.

    How are you enjoying the government providing you with Medicare (unless you retired early because you were an officer or firefighter, then you can just ignore this completely) the single biggest expenditure the government has?

    I paid 10's of thousands of dollars into Medicare my entire working life. I pay $2772.00 per year in monthly premiums for the wife and I [she also paid thousands into Medicare all her life too]. Plus I pay a doctor deductible of $162.00 [EACH] before Medicare pays a cent, and then I pay 20% of charges with no 'stop loss'. If I had $500,000.00 in charges, I'd pay $100,000 of it.
    Plus Rx charges.

    So WHAT is the govt "supplying" me that I did not pay for and continue to pay?

    And much of my life I did not pay the 7.65% FICA taxes, I paid the entire 15.3% FICA taxes.

    The government is supplying me NOTHING that I didn't give them the money to pay.
