That Awful Rush Limbaugh

[Sitarro]

He just reported that the total from his annual cure-a-than to raise money for Leukemia and Lymphoma is 3,000,000 dollars, he started it with a personal donation of 300,000 dollars adding more through out his show. They did this during his 3 hour program.

Yea those fucking asshole ditto heads, what a bunch of mindless jerks right?
Stupid conservative devils!!!!!

Crazy conservatives, trying to save those children just to starve them in school lunch programs.

[Mr. P]

3 MIL in 3 hrs? WOW!!!

[Samantha]

We should forgive his lies because he gives money to charity. In fact, from now on, all lies are forgiven if you give money to charity!

Only because it benefits the liberals more than conservatives by a 2-1 margin.

Oh, and what lies? Point them all out, and we can debate them.

Don't be a MORON, that's NOT what this is about.

Lies? What liar are you quoting or do you actually listen to his show and have actually witnessed a lie? Prove it.

He has raised over 13 million over the last 17 years (probably closer to 20 million)doing the same show each year, anyone besides Jerry Lewis that you can think of that has equaled that, anything close, anyone from the Hollywood professional bleeding hearts that make 20 million per film?

I didn't think so.

[Gaffer]

Seems samantha needs to do some serious donating.

Nahhh she wants all the 'rich' folks to do it, and then when they do she can't say anything good about it. Typical socialist.

Lies huh? ive seen libs claim this for years. Havent seen any substantiation.

I've never stated that Limbaugh was an evil person. I merely disagree with much of his , hate-filled rhetoric.
As for his fund-raising activities, a lot of celebrities lend their names to such. Rush can now go have a beer with Jerry Lewis.

Hate filled rhetoric? You've obviously never listened to the show. Gabbs you say more hateful things then Rush could ever dream of.

It's not so much a claim, as an attempt to change the subject. Sam does that a lot, when she doesn't like someone's point but can't refute it.

Notice that it worked. Not many people on this thread, are discussing Limbaugh's charitable work any more. Why should she give up such an effective obfuscation tactic? Particularly when it's easier than acknowledging the truth?

Back to the subject:
Yes, Limbaugh raises quite a lot of money for such charities, as well as donating himself. He doesn't make a big deal of it, except during the actual times the charity work is going on. Many conservatives are like that.

Bob Dole got the usual accusations of being cruel, heartless etc. when he ran for President in 1996. He ignored tham, as most conservatives do. It wasn't until some news bug did a lot of digging, did the fact come out that he hand his wife do a lot of charity work in private, donating time, effort, and money to several groups helping the handicapped. Dole had never mentioned them, but he did them.

EXACTLY! it's the Poisoning-the-well Logical Fallacy, closely. Its "I don't like the message, so instead of addressing the FACTS of the message, I'll simply attack the messenger!"

I do listen to Limbaugh on occasion. My husband is a fan. All his statements and opinion are made from one side of the political spectrum.
I would rather listen to an entire Limbaugh program than 15 minutes of Hannity or one of the like Fox yahoos. Limbaugh does have considerable intelligence. He needs to come into the light.
