Rush Limbaugh stoops to a new level of scum....supporting torture.
Rush Limbaugh spent last week proving to his 20 million listeners, what the rest of the world already knows...that he is one "Dumb, Fat, cowardly, drug abusing, Bastard".

Rush (the supposed king of morality actually said that the torture of Iraqi prisoners was no worse then "kids blowing off steam". Funny I am 24 and in college and my friends are in a Fraternity, yet none of us have ever sexually humiliated men, raped women, beaten people near death, let dogs loose on people, sodomized guys with brooms, or video taped young boys being raped. And during four years in the Marines serving in places like Kosovo and Sierra Leone...I never saw any of my fellow Marines do anything close to what those sick punks did to those Iraqi prisoners, and I was in Force Recon, which is as gung-ho a unit as there is in the Marines.

These soldiers are a disgrace to America, themselves, and the Army. They have dishonored the 99.9% of our brave soldiers who risk thier lives and honor our country every day.

As for rush, I would love to see hius fat mishapen butt, stretched out with his girlfriend Sean Hannity in a pig pile being forced to endure all the above things the Iraqi prisoners went through...then see how "harmless" he thought it was.

Of course my guess is being in the middle of a pile of naked guys is a fantasy of Limbaugh's and Hannity's... so they would probably enjoy it.

1. Whatever happened to the drug investigation against limbaugh?
I mean, if it is still alive, and he has to do any kind of time, I would think it would be very very uncomfortable for him in prison. Especially if he was locked up with predominantly black men.

2. Join me in writing his sponsors
Rush has said many offensive and stupid things through the years, but his remarks last week take the cake. Pissed me off so bad, I created a web site listing his sponsors. I've written them all, and also Armed Forces Network. They're all listed on my site:

6. Thank you! And note the sponsors:
A bunch of pharmaceutical companies. Gee, who benefited the most from that lying piece of Medicare legislation?

Toss in a couple of steel companies (takes a lot of oil to make steel to build limos for the Halliburton toughs to ride around in).

3. Now hold on just one minute!
That's my fantasy, too. :-)

"Blowing off steam"? WHAT-EVER!

I need to blow off steam now and again because of pressures at work (which I admit are not nearly the same as the pressures the soldiers face) but I would never take someone in the back and beat them or let my dogs attack them. That's ridiculous.

The American people MUST open their eyes or they must have them PRIED open to show them what is going on here. How can they continue to sit back with that Stepford Wife smile and just let life go on like it is?

with no body armor and no security.

8. I do not like you Doctor Fell and I knew the reason very well
I heard Rush today for about 15 minutes. He just does not tell the truth.

10. This has to be one of his all-time worst (from today):
RUSH: Look, folks, let's just cut to the chase here, okay? I've been trying to very slowly and gently maneuver all of you into now. Here's cut-to-the-chase time. We all know what goes on in war. We all know that what's in these pictures we've seen -- and we haven't seen pictures of death -- even this latest picture of the dog and the nude Iraqi, have you seen that one? A couple of Americans are holding it looks like a German shepherd, some kind of vicious big dog, dogs are barking, bow-wow (barking sounds), the Iraqi prisoner is cowering there in fear, he's all nude, and the picture captions "dogs attack Iraqi". No, the dog isn't attacking anybody, the dog is on a leash. The dog is scaring an Iraqi prisoner. (Gasping.) No! We're scaring them, too. Is that allowed in the Geneva Convention? We're scaring them with dogs?

Yes, my friends, we are. The dog didn't attack anybody, dog's not the attacking anybody, dog is on a leash, both of them are. I've seen the picture. So, yeah, I mean I'd be scared too if I were nude and I'd been committing crimes against Americans, now the Americans have me in their prison and a couple of dogs barking at me? Yeah, I might be a little scared. So what? It's war! We all know what goes on in war. And here's what's happened. And I don't know how many of you are part of this group. I'm not part of this group, but there are a significant number of Americans -- let's leave the press and the Dems out of this because they're acting political here, they're acting and so are a lot of people, a lot of people are acting. They have to act outraged and surprised because that's what you think is expected of you.



How many of you went out to social occasions over the weekend, and this subject, this story came up? And how many of you wanted to really say, "I don't see the big deal here. This is war. These are people that tried to kill Americans." But you didn't say it or some variation of that because you were afraid that you were the bunch of people would start yelling at you for being insensitive or coarse or crude or whatever. So you said what you thought you had to say in order to get along during the controversial situation that this conversation came up wherever you were. How many of you did that? Admit it to yourself. You don't have to raise your hands out there. We're not counting hands here. I want you to think about it. Because the fact of the matter is that's what I think most people are doing. This is where my optimism and faith in people of this country remains steadfast. I don't think most people are that outraged by it. Let's put it this way, the public outrage nowhere near matches what we watched on television on Friday and yesterday. Exhibited by these holier-than-thou sanctimonious elected officials who are themselves acting and saying what they think you, their voters, want them to say, and what you their voters expect to hear.

14. Guess he didn't see the next picture showing the man lying bleeding
in the floor, where the dogs had attacked him! Heard about that follow up picture on NPR yesterday and on the local newsradio station that carries Rush. Maybe Rush should get news from another source other than Faux. Unbelievable that people listen to this man to find out what's going on and how they should think, when the idiot himself is cluess! I'm adding yesterday's idiocy to my web page.

15. This is obscene
and outside any standard of modern decency. It's a picture window into a very dark aspect of the American psyche. Rich white drug addict spews vitriol on the airwaves. 20 million cheer... :puke:
(Anybody know what happened to those radio guys in Rwanda?)
You are aware this stuff gets piped into the barracks on AFN?

Wonder if good ol' boy Charlie Graner is a fan...

11. I hope you are not serious
so you are okay with the US doing that to enemies...

so when Iraqi's do it to the United States soldiers __their enemies__ then will you still say it is okay?
