Rush has not made fun of Haiti.  You would be right if he had, however he does not revel in other's misery.  He does lampoon the left in this country and does so for the most part with humor.  As I told Cikomyr, you cannot get accurate information on Rush unless you go to his web site, and then it is free.

This is true from the left as well.  Was listening to Ed Shultz this morning and hear the same thing I would on Rush.  They are news and COMMENTARY.

Entertainment is a big thing in america - you got infotainment, edutainment, militainment and probably other tainments as well. Rush is probably entertaining, as are all the other hosts from all the different political corners. I just don't like their methods and style. Maybe I just have different expectations (german here) of the role the media should have in society. Or maybe I am just too serious and grouchy - a stereotypical german trait I've been told lol

You?  Serious and Grouchy?  

If you can hang with us nuts, you cant be too serious.  And I have yet to see you grouch at anyone.

When German get grouchy....Heads vill roll!

I did. And what did I saw?

I saw a stupid, arrogant, condescendant, lazy and incompetent democrat candidate, who blew her chance worse than Palin ever did.

I saw that the ratings were +30 Democrats before the campaign started, and only when we saw (or rather, NOT SAW) the campaign made by that candidate while the republican candidate was hard working, dedicated and doing everything in his power not to make mistakes.

Obama's critic might come in for quite a few percentage points, but by far the major factor had been the democrat's incompetent campaign.

I don't haf a german accent.. but I can cut off heads with the best of them when adquatly motivated.

The Mas. vote was a big theme in the news here as well - the tenor was that the Republicans were seeing daylight with the ability to block the Senate but that not all is lost for Obama. He will have to do some major political manouvering and compromising as a consequence though.

It is unfortunate you cannot vote here, for it is this myopia that will guarantee Obama as being a one term ineffective president.

Obama is 0-3 now.  And 2 of the 3 were in states he carried big.  The 3rd was in a state he carried, but the loss there was a landslide.  How many times do you have to hit your head against a brick wall before you finally listen to the people who tell you that it is insane?

Agreed to a point, however people tend to just not vote if they don't like a persons personality. They don't turn out in record numbers to go out of their way to vote for the other candidate. Like many of the liberal Democrats in the state are muttering, "It can't be anything Brown is offering , who would dare vote that way, it must be Coakley". Personally, I hope they continue to believe that.

If you consider UHC, when the state already has an expensive plan and people don't want to pay for others to boot, fines, new taxes, a retreat on national security, lack of transparency, back door deals, and overall failure to deliver on promises as an incompetent campaign, then I fully agree with you.

I listen to rush all the time, he has been encouraging people to donate to the aid given to the haitians.

OP, you are full of it.

Come on now, you're not playing ball within the confines of the liberal spin presented to you. Breaking the rules cannot be tolerated.

fair enough nitro ...

within the confines of the OPs spin: there is nothing wrong with criticizing obama for taking 3 days to respond to an attempted bombing.

Pointing out that when he cares to (example, haiti) he can respond quickly. This in no way diminishes from the haiti response nor is it a claim that helping haiti is somehow bad.

Rush has been donating his own money and organizing others to donate; if the OP claims are even based on true quotes (there is precedence in falsifying such quotes), then he is most likely not criticizing the help given to haiti by the president, he is criticising him for not doing his job as seriously on other issues.

...and in an unrelated story....Air America RIP January 21, 2010... good riddance.

What does OP stand for? I am not up to speed on all the acronyms and abbreviations in american politics.

Air America? Wasn't that a CIA run operation out of Cambodia or Laos during the Vietnam war.. or maybe I am just confusing something here.

OP = original post / original poster

This is just a flaw in liberal logic.  Clearly it is descended from their concept that the "pie" is static and cannot be changed.  So if you criticize on one side for not doing enough or quickly enough, then by the pie analogy, you must be criticizing that too much or too quickly was done in another area.  It is faulty logic, but unfortunately it is also very prevalent to liberals as that is what they are taught.

Air America = A short lived liberal talk radio network, best known as a platform for Al Franken and launching Rachel Maddow's career. It was frequently in financial trouble and never close to the popularity of its conservative competitors, even during right wing controlled administrations (Not to be confused with the Voice of America, which broadcasts to un-friendly nations).

Ironically, one of the founding Hosts, randi Rhodes, has moved to clear channel (the same outfit that carries most of Rush, Hannity and Beck).  But then she is cute.

That goes a long way, but not on radio.

Never heard of it before, and now I never will. But I don't like the liberal version of talkradio or tvshow either. I like accurate, moderate and fairspoken media and personal ramblings and jokes should be reserved for the pub.
