Oh yeah, remember that? No? Well, here are some things Ol' Rushie poo has had to say in the past about drug abusers:
These tough sentencing laws were instituted for a reason. The American people, including liberals, demanded them. Don't you remember the crack cocaine epidemic? Crack babies and out-of-control murder rates? Liberal judges giving the bad guys slaps on the wrist? Finally we got tough, and the crime rate has been falling ever since, so what's wrong?

In the audio link below, I go into detail about these non-thinking talking points that "you can't tell people what to do with their bodies" and "you can't legislate morality." First of all, we tell people what they can do to their bodies all the time--no cocaine, no prostitution, no throwing yourself off a building. Second, laws are nothing but defining morality!

All right. Joe Fernandez came to New York from Miami, ladies and gentlemen, to be schools chancellor.... Now he is embattled--he's got a book that just came out, an autobiography that's soon to come out, I think, in which he admits that he was a mainliner as a teen-ager. This guy [pretends to stick needle in arm]--pfsst--shot up heroin. And people are praising him. He overcame the scourge. He triumphed over that profound obstacle in his life and has gone on to become this great schools chancellor.... [Plays a clip of Fernandez saying that the message of his teenage drug use is "to not give up on our kids."]
Reach out and try to help them, not give up on the kids, give them condoms and teach them about a bunch of stuff that is worthless in terms of preparing them for their future as adults in the greatest country on Earth, teaching them all this social gobbledygook. "Let's not forget about the kids."...
Whoa. The guy wants to be education secretary, folks. Watch out. Now why does he want to go to Washington? Probably because he's studied the case of Marion Barry. Here's a guy who got involved in drugs. You want to see my Marion Barry impersonation? Do you want to see that? All right. I'll do the Marion Barry impersonation.
You put some stuff out here on the table and you go [pretends to snort cocaine]. "You tell Jesse to stay out of my town. This is my town, and Jesse--you tell him to stay out. [More snorting.] And I said no, no, no, no, I don't smoke it no more. Tired of ending up on the floor." [More snorting.]
So what is he? He gets involved in drugs and ends up, ladies and gentlemen, as a newly elected official in Washington, D.C.... So I'm sure Joe Fernandez is looking down there saying, "Hey, there's a future for, you know, drug users in Washington, D.C."

When you strip it all away, Jerry Garcia destroyed his life on drugs. And yet he's being honored, like some godlike figure. Our priorities are out of whack, folks.
--Rush Limbaugh radio show (quoted in the L.A. Times, 8/20/95)
And, on April 28th 2006 Rush turned himself in to the authorities on a charge of committing fraud to obtain prescription drugs. Look, A person's problems are their own, unless they're calling everyone else in the room out for the same thing. That's a tightrope walk that no one can ever win. Yet, there is no new found Hubris in Rush, he still shoots steam into people's ears every day and they lap it up. Why? Everyone is entitled to their beliefs, but when people are LYING to you, how can you trust them, their judgment and ability to make rational decisions. Make up your own mind, you really don't need Rush to do that for you. Unfortunately, when you make such a big deal about things, you do and your called on it, "I'm Sorry" is not sufficient.
P.s. Rush Limbaugh is NOT a satirist. He is an American radio host, conservative political commentator, and an influential opinion leader in the conservative movement in the United States...and a Retard.
P.p.s Family Guy, IS satire.
Oh yeah, then there's this guy.

Come on Glenn Beck...really? What the hell does that mean? Do you know what words mean?
How come John Stewart can completely evicerate the talking heads, but you never hear them come back with a good rebuttal?
Tucker Carlson and Paul Begalia got more then they bargained for in that clip and this clip in particular may be the reason The Daily Show has become the fact checker du jour for the extreme right wing. No one else is doing it, no one else is calling people on their shit and even Huffinton Post puts up links to, The Daily Show.
Then this:
Huh?
What?
Alright, look to use the socialism/communist/marxist argument is moot on all accounts, because we already socialize alot of things. Like John Stewart so eloquently pointed out to GB Libraries are socialized, roads, schools, police, firefighters, garbage men etc.
And then there's this:
This is a link to the full version of this:
Proof that Tripp Palin Johnston, Sarah Palin's grandson, is a recipient of socialized health care. I guess the Death Panels don't apply to him, right?
Don't be stupid, willfully ignorant or naive. Politicians are here to sell us their ideas and themselves. They are showmen these days acting out for the amusement and money of the masses. They don't need to be the reason WE can't have civil discourse. Ideas should be the reason...my ideas, your ideas, our ideas. None of us has to agree, but to disagree with a person who has their own ideas about the world, is much more rewarding then debating someone else's, somewhat skewed idea of the world. That makes it all second hand information, and we all know what happens when we play telephone, the message gets lost in translation.
That's more like it.
