It's been a busy week for conservatism's de facto leader and giant, fat c*** Rush Limbaugh. First he denies being leader of the Republican Party, then announces he's joined the Taliban. I can understand the former is probably more embarrassing to be associated with than the latter but...
"Our president is a worldwide joke. Folks, do you realize something has happened here that we all agree with the Taliban and Iran about -- and that is he doesn't deserve the award? Now that's hilarious, that I'm on the same side of something with the Taliban."
I understand the principles of polemics. I understand we have a First Amendment. But doesn't this statement quite literally give aid and comfort to America's enemies during time of war? So why isn't Limbaugh's fat ass in Gitmo right now?
The fact that Limbaugh can run his mouth with impunity is more evidence of America's unconditional love for wealth. It's not the Constitution that protects and enables him - it's his money and his potential for generating money. Not true? Then imagine Limbaugh as some guy called Muhammad writing this stuff on MySpace in a public library. He'd be pounced on faster than Osama bin Laden strolling through immigration with a bail of weed.

If something like that gives aid and comfort or undermines our ability to wage war, well, let em have their aid and comfort and let us pull back and take a second look at our strategy.
ReplyDeleteGet pissed at the left for not fielding their own posey of talking heads as shocking and offensive as Limpdick/Beck/etc. Personally, I'll defend their right to say whatever they want. I'm a huge fan of the second ammendment. . . actually, I'm a huge fan of the ENTIRE Constitution of the United States.
Me too. So much so that I'd like to see it extended to all citizens irrespective of ethnicity or religion - not just fat white dudes who don't need to fear the Homeland Security Gestapo and can say any crazy crap they want with impunity. Much as I hate all that fake patriotic war paranoia, but what Limbaugh said should have the f***er shut down. There is a Second Amendment BUT that shouldn't cover yelling fire in a crowded theater or outright treason.
