Definately!!

Even the ignorant have leaders that rise up to exercise their right to free speech. Rush Limbaugh has been attracting the confused and ill informed for years. He gets attention and that sells books, attracts an audience (the fringe element)...many who have much more serious clognition problems than we will ever have. He thrives and darn well too, on controver$$$y. There will always be these types of people around. Letting them get to you would likely get you a slap up the side of the head from the Dhali LLama. We just have to keep an eye on them in case they actualy become a threat to more than themselves.

Well, I'm glad rosebud finally said it. I wanted to respond to this post this morning when I first saw it. I couldn't get the words out of my warped little mind then.
Rush Limbaugh and his marry band of followers aren't worth getting upset with. He is just a pot stirrer. The more upset and excited you become the more he enjoys it. Don't even give him the time of day because he will argue about it.

is a big mistake. He has millions of followers who dote on his every word. They call themselves "dittoheads," because when he speaks, they just nod their heads and say, "ditto." They vote. They write letters to the editor. They contribute to political campaigns. They do anything he tells them to.

Fringe isn't fringe anymore. Remember, Katie Couric had this guy on during the evening news for her "Free Speech" segment to promote--get this--more civil discourse. He was an official election commentator on the networks in '04. He is on Armed Forces radio (people who disagree with his views are not). He is very, very powerful.

The time to sit back is past. That's the problem. A LOT of people ignored folks like him for a long time, until he and his ilk became a powerhouse. People have to fight.

It goes beyond stem-cell research. Big pharma, big insurance companies--all the people who often make life worse for those of us they're supposed to be helping--use people like him to whip up the unwashed to support their programs for stupid reasons.

I know he's a dirtbag, but this is the lowest I've ever seen anybody go.

UPDATE:

There's an article in the Washington Post with a quote from Limbaugh:

Quote:

Possibly worse than making fun of someone's disability is saying that it's imaginary. That is not to mock someone's body, but to challenge a person's guts, integrity, sanity.

To Rush Limbaugh on Monday, Michael J. Fox looked like a faker. The actor, who suffers from Parkinson's disease, has done a series of political ads supporting candidates who favor stem cell research, including Democrat Ben Cardin, who is running against Republican Michael Steele in a Maryland U.S. Senate race.

"He is exaggerating the effects of the disease," Limbaugh told listeners. "He's moving all around and shaking and it's purely an act....This is really shameless of Michael J. Fox. Either he didn't take his medication or he's acting."

When you see Michael J. Fox on Boston Legal you don't see him the way he is in the democratic ad. That is what Limbaugh is saying. It appears that he taped the ad when his symptoms were at their worst to make the ad more dramatic. BTW, Republicans are not against stem cell research. They are only against embryonic stem cell research.
