Is Rush using DU to take the heat off himself??
Edited on Wed Oct-08-03 06:03 PM by janekat
Beware: I think he's trying to use DU to galvanize his supporters.

I'm of the opinion that he is trying to use a war with DU as a ploy. He'll read our posts attacking him over the air and they will all run to his defense.

The ones about him being Jeff Christie aren't so bad because you know darn well her won't read them on the air. We need to be careful not to say anything that he can use on the air to get himself some sympathy.

1. He's probably scared shitless of us
He's probably scared shitless of us...that's why he's attacking us.

The asshole needs to get a life.

3. possibly .... but
These two quotes make me believe that he WANTS freepers to come over here and read all the mean things we're saying about Rushie:

"Don't visit this place. I know you're all going to."

"It's just scary."


Now if that's not a ploy to get them to come running over here - I don't know what is...

2. He isn't going to use the ones that say he needs a 12 step either.
Maybe he'll complain about how we still call him pigboy after he lost all the weight during his addiction to illegal drugs.

5. My prediction is now the hackers will get into it, and the
boards will become so overwhelmed that they'll become hard to use. And I think there are going to be lots of people being fake liberals too.

7. You mean more than the usual suspects.

Never, ever, ever, let your guards down, DUers.

When it comes to racist, oxyconting chowing Rush, just make sure every sentence mentions Oxycontin, drugs, or racism. His oxycontin, racist ass wouldn't dare refer to either on the air.

The admins are pretty sharp, anyhoo. Remember the "Rules" breakdown. Up and running again in no time.

6. As long as he spells the name right.
I am glad to hear DU mentioned anywhere in any context. No telling what thinking individuals he'll flush out, who'll stop by here and see for themselves. DU is on the rise and that's a good thing.

9. Well our web moderators are pretty advanced
And they can't use technology to sign up with a whole bunch of free e-mail accounts at once or DU because you can only put private e-mail addresses on here.

8. I hope that he reads the ones that enlighten his audience.
Nevertheless, the ploy won't work unless he gets Murdock or Scaife to buy out the DU.

10. Bring em on, Mr. Oxy Moran
Maybe they'll learn something while they're trolling around.

Most of them will be gone sone enough, either because they have very short attention spans or they can't handle reading the truth for very long.

12. It's a common tactic of his - "They beat up on poor me"...
"but I'm brave and I take it like a man". Well, take a trip back to Florida and face the music like a man. My new nickname for Rush: The Fugitive.

15. He could play at CBGB's!
Look like those early NYC punk bands that were so into heroin.

16. No one is more qualified to attach Rush
Than Rush himself.

He is already doing a pretty good job.

Perhaps he can turn his creative "wit" to posting nasty things about himself on the web then claim he is being "attacked".

If we don't do it for him, he will do it for himself.

The right wing media thrives on the notion that they are disempowered and trashed by the liberals. Listen to Coultergiest, if you can. She will go on for 20 minutes every night on primetime national TV telling anyone listening about the tough time she has getting her message out.

17. DU is overrated
the liberal press is just trying to talk them up, because they desperately want a liberal website to succeed.

18. No kidding
Somebody should tell Rush that he is an overrated, overblown gasbag that the conservative corporations who own the media want to see succede.
