Since Rush & Hannity were dead wrong about Plame, what else are they dead wrong about?

Question

(Plame's covert status was obvious to the honest)

Alexandrea (below) Bravo! You just gave a thousand dollar obvious answer! True conservatives see Bush for what he is. Neo-conservatives like Bush for what he is.

Answer 1

The list is too long to enumerate here. They are pretty much wrong about everything. Being wrong is a ubiquitous occurrence for both Rush and Hannity, not to mention more vitriolic conservative pundits like Bill O’Reilly and Michael Savage. Here are a few things that stick out in my mind:

1. They felt, and still to a certain extent maintain, that our incursion into Iraq was legitimate.

2. They felt that the person to blame most about 9/11 was Clinton

3. They denounce anyone who doesn’t support the Bush administration, with the blind credulity of a child, as unpatriotic or even treasonous.

4. They believe Bush’s trivial and ultimately counterproductive tax cuts actually benefit the economy in the long run.

5. They promote the groundless assertion, as if it were holy mantra, that we if we “fight them over there, then we won’t have to fight them over here.”

6. They are under the impression that there is no true separation between Church and State, thus they are completely ignorant or are willfully ignoring the Establishment Clause and much of the writings of the founding fathers.

7. They are against the legalization of innocuous and potentially beneficial drugs, like marijuana, even though Rush hypocritical abuses prescription medication.

8. They extol the virtues of rugged individualism, and pulling themselves by their own bootstraps, a philosophy that leads them to decry all forms of social welfare, when in reality their own backgrounds belie any sense of pure self sufficiency. In fact both came from fairly well to do backgrounds.

9. They believe that the United States is in no way, not even partially, responsible for the Islamic acrimony that we currently are experiencing, and instead all Islamic extremist actions can all be rationalized by the dictum “they hate our freedoms.”

10. They are against the triumph of rationality as evidenced by their support of the teaching of creationism in schools.

11. They believe all media outlets, with the exception of Fox News and talk radio, are pawns in liberal propaganda machines

12. Finally, they believe Bush and his cohorts support conservative values, when their interventionist international policy, and insistence on expanding government programs in the forms of corporate welfare and our useless security apparatus, are absolutely the antithesis to the very core principles of conservatism.

Why don't you offer proof of what you say? Rush nor Hannity are wrong about this situation. Valerie Plame was not covert. She even posed on the cover of Vanity Fair with her husband, Joe Wilson.

Maybe the fact that Wilson is a blood sucking leach has a lot to do with this. He and Plame have a signed book deal worth 7 figures, plus a movie deal. No democrats are discussing that.....

It might also be interesting is some of you looked up Victoria Toensing's testimony today. She crafted the law covering and defining a "COVERT" agent while at the CIA. In her testimony today, she told Mr. Waxman that Plame "did not fit the legal definition of a covert agent"...... Like I told you before, this is another circus being performed by democrats who simply don't want to work on the problems facing congress, like medicare reform, energy independence and immigration. Why don't you send them an email and tell them to start earning their money, instead of drafting worthless resolutions against the war, investigating attorney firings that every president routinely does and wasting time trying to figure out who revealed the identity of a mid level manager who worked at CIA headquarters in DC????

No wonder you get people so riled up against you. Right wing hatemongers really have it in for you. I did a search on your name here in YahooAnswers and there were quite a few irate comments about you. Congratulations for being an independent thinker and challenging people on here.

To answer your question, Hannity and Rush are wrong about pretty much everything that matters. They try to see things from a very simplistic and uncritical perspective, hence, they come to consistently wrong conclusions.

Answer 4

If someone is given something for free, people will with assistance from nature take great thing about that. I also be conscious of people that do not fairly seem for a job, yet ought to somewhat in simple terms convey at the same time unemployment. in truth, I also be conscious of someone close to retirement age that does no longer undeniable in any respect to get a job, yet particular likes amassing that unemployment verify. people could teach that they are definitely searching for a job, only a similar as people should be drug examined with the intention to receive welfare and performance their residences open for inspection too. certain, i be conscious of lots of welfare thieves too with more advantageous powerful television's and autos then I definitely have. the final analysis is lots of the time Hannity, Beck, and Rush are suitable even even if they do exaggerate.

Answer 5

I applied a theory with GREAT effect. I was managing a significant investment portfolio and I applied "the threory of human traffic control" (my own masterwork).. basically, whatever Hannity championed, I tried to find an underlining motive (to further human trafficing), then when I did, depending on how significant it was to a "certain end", I would either take or reverse his advice.

In most cases I found myself doing the exact opposite of what Hannity's views suggested. If he said SELL SELL.. I was buying baby!!

The portfolio has averaged 120% pa for the past 6 years!!

Answer 6

Rush, Hannity and the rest are always wrong.....they only appeal to the very basest people who are mostly uneducated, semiliterate and can't think for themselves.

Keep in mind that those talk radio personalities are entertainers and comedians...not to be taken seriously. They just laugh at their audience - and - all the way to the bank.

Answer 7

Why were no charges brought if she was covert? You are the one who is dead wrong. And that is obvious to most.

Answer 8

This forum is famous for it's quick answers. In the name of simplicity how about a list of what Rush was right about.

I'll start.

Oxycontin is better than vicoden.

Go big Red Go

Answer 9

Rush was wrong about drug addicts. Clearly drug addicts shouldn't go to jail, since now he is one too.

"What this says to me is that too many whites are getting away with drug use. Too many whites are getting away with drug sales. Too many whites are getting away with trafficking in this stuff. The answer to this disparity is not to start letting people out of jail because we're not putting others in jail who are breaking the law. The answer is to go out and find the ones who are getting away with it, convict them and send them up the river, too."

"If (Surgeon General Jocelyn Elders) wants to legalize drugs, send the people who want to do drugs to London and Zurich, and let's be rid of them.

Answer 10

Well, they are on the wrong side of history and on the wrong side of high ethical and moral standards since they lie just about every opportunity they get. Aside from that, they are wrong for being the propaganda mouthpiece for the Republican right wing extremists.
