I used to like Limbaugh. Just because I listened didn't mean I had to agree.
What truth? The fact that on a day of remorse he chose to spew hatred? On a day when symathy and compassion is to be shown he chose to blame people not responsible to further his political agendas?
Is that not what "terrorism" is? to spread hate, fear and make political at the cost of innocent lives? DID LIMBAUGH NOT DO THAT EXACT THING ON THURSDAY? (Sorry for tha caps, but the point has to be made.) Unequivically, yes, he did. He used Thursday's horror as an excuse to bash Dems and those who do not politically agree with him.
He could have waited till Friday or the beginning of the next week, but no he chose to further the pain and hatred. That in my mind makes him and those like him (O'Reilly, for eample, who used his program to bash and add to the hate) no better than the terrorists.
As for listening to Limbaugh and why I chose to. I find him very talented and original (I do not listen to any of the other clonse out there though). He started because, I truly believe what he was saying and doing came from his heart. I may not have liked it or agreed with it but he had a way of smoothly explaining issues and dismissing the facts the other side would use.
Yes, Limbaugh was and is a king of propaganda and one-sidedness (so was Goebbels), but he did it with a flair and a sense of humor where he didn't take it too seriously and would often talk how political climates swing.
Over the last few years I truly don't believe he has had his heart in it. He takes it to far far worse extremes and spews hatred. He blames the Dems, other countries and anyone not politically aligned with him.
Again, he had future days to make political statements and spew his hate, he chose however to show he was in no way shape or form better than the terrorists by pushing blame onto innocents, showing no respect or sympathy and using the tragedy to his own personal advantage. Again in my mind that makes him no better than the cretins, cowards and murderers who committed these acts.
