Rush poll:?

Question

Do you believe that Rush is being unfairly attacked. Or facts should have nothing to do with it, because the hatered against Rush should prevail?

Bonus Question:
Who thinks that Harry Reid should be attacking a private person during Senate business hours?.

Rush has shown himself a hypercritical self-rightous jerk when he tried to say Micheal Fox was faking his parkinsons!
-------------------------------------------------
Even Micheal Fox admitted not taking his medication on purpose to look bad in front of Harry Reid. Rush never stated Fox was faking Parkison

Rush did use the term "phoney soldiers in reference to people stating that they were soldiers, yet, have never been in the military.
Please decribe what a phoney soldier is.

Answer 1

1. I'm no great fan of Rush, but he is a commentator. His job is to stir things up and make controversial comments. He should not be attacked at all, he is doing his job. People aren't spending time attacking Al Franken, who is just the same for the liberals as Rush is for the conservatives.

2. The fact that Harry Reid is using our taxpayer dollars to attack private citizens on the floor of the House is extremely inappropriate in my opinion. Who in Congress condemned Dan Rather for forging documents about President Bush and presenting them as genuine? No one. Yet they waste time berating a COMMENTATOR who is only presenting his own personal opinion.

Answer 2

First of all Harry Reid is not the only senator to utilize the floor of the senate for a personal attack or any type of personal vendetta. If you remember it was just about a month ago that Senator John Cornyn (R-TX) introduced a bill to condemn the moveon.org ad against General Patraeus.

Secondly I believe the facts prevail in this case.

The fact is that Rush used the term "phony soldiers" to describe soldiers who spoke out against the war in a conversation with a caller "Mike".

Yesterday on Rush's radio show he said the comment was only talking about 1 soldier. Which is incorrect. Rush went into a monologue discussing 1 particular phony soldier after the conversation with the caller including Rush referring to soldiers speaking out about the war as "phony soldiers".

I can paste the entire transcript if you would like to display the FACTS.

Answer 3

I think he deserves all the attacks and criticisms he gets because he has a microphone to shout out all his hate speech from everyday. I'm sure he loves all the attention, the narcissistic hypocrite.

Harry Reid should totally ignore Rush Limbaugh and Rush Limbaugh is free to say whatever he wants. Of course within the boundaries of slander and everything. Congress is always failing to work out the real issues they are supposed to. The Move On thing was a waste of time and so is this Rush thing. Get to work Congress because we're voting you out soon.

Answer 4

I feel he's being treated unfairly, the left sees a threat to conservative radio.And is attacking him blindly, they are banking on the American public to be lazy enough not to seek the facts and react from the hip. Mr. Reid should step down hes done a poor job of leading. Come on 18%aproval ratting?

Answer 5

Why is it okay for Rush to smear anyone he pleases?
Yet if someone says some against him they are attacking him?
Rush has shown himself a hypercritical self-rightous jerk when he tried to say Micheal Fox was faking his parkinsons!

Answer 6

No Rush is not being attacked. He is only being called out for his words that he lives by. It is his fault, and his alone, that he is such a nincompoop.
Nope Harry Reid has the right to make such statements regardless of his location, his job and your skewed vision of him
The 1st amendment better apply at the Senate.

Answer 7

I can't feel sorry for Rush Limbaugh. I have nothing against him at all but this is what he does he is controversial he does play too close to the fire not to get burned sometimes, fairly or unfairly, same with most of these radio hosts. From O'Rielly and the restaurant thing to Imus and the basketball players to Opie and Anthony that is the industry they're in. They're going to have people who love them and people who hate them. That's just the business he's in and the business he's chosen to be in and which has gained him fame, money, influence, and success.

Answer 8

Rush is being unfairly attacked, Harry Reed is full of hatred for talk radio and anything remotely right of center. He is constantly wasting time with his anti-conservative agenda tirades.

Answer 9

I don't really care whether there is a basis for it. Rush has spent his entire career attacking people based on lies and half-truths...you spread hate and lies, you get it back in return. Harry Reid should not have wasted Senate time, but neither should the Republicans with the movon ad....both were nothing more than political stunts.

Answer 10

you should stick to your usual line of q&a, you know, expressing your dislike of women.

what is your hang up with rush? he thrives off of abuse like that. it's what gives that piece of living vomit a reason to live. and it gives people like you a thrill when he slanders someone unfairly.

bonus question-what reid did was not much different than the complaints about that petraeus ad. you little piggies always squeal when the shoe is on the other foot.
