AURaptor: Then, for those of us who don't listen to his show, would you be so kind as to post trascripts and links of things Limbaugh has said that agrees with your statement that:
Quote:
Rush wasn't attacking the messenger (MJ FOX) so much as he was attacking the MESSAGE!
?
Or, perhaps if they have already been posted, you could show us where his statements support you? That would probably be more effective than repeating yourself ten times over, and it would clear up the confusion.

Quote:But what did Rush SAY? This thread is about (if you read the title) []iRush Limbaugh, Michael J Fox, and Parkinson's disease. I know you would like to move the focus off of Rush's egregious attack on Mr. Fox and onto the issue of embryonic stem cell research. But Rush SHOULD be villified. And you should take your lumps for defending him, write a mea culpa, and move on.
This entire issue is specifically ABOUT EMBRYONIC STEM CELL RESEARCH! That's why MJ Fox made the ads, that's why Bush is getting vilified by some in the science community, the media , etc. Rush wasn't attacking the messenger (MJ FOX) so much as he was attacking the MESSAGE! Folks then get all bent out of shape because Rush 'attacked ' a Parkinson's disease sufferer, and they completely overlook the facts of this issue.

Reality sucks. Especially when it contradicts our cherished ideas.

I already listen to him. Why should I be the one who needs to go back and give you the text too ? Google works just as well for me as it does anyone else. Or, become a Rush 24/7 subscriber, and listen to him yourself.
People love a happy ending. So every episode, I will explain once again that I don't like people. And then Mal will shoot someone. Someone we like. And their puppy. - Joss

And I need a transcript. I don't have audio at home or at work. The partial transcripts that have been posted here are pretty damning.

They're not daming in the least, unless you're alredy biased against Rush. Want the audio ? try

I rest my case for you not being very smart (sorry, not an ad-hominem...a reasoned judgement call).
Chrisisall, the same kind of asshole that Rush is NOT being, heh heh heh.

And explain to me again how if you truly believe this that two wrongs make a right?

Yes, I get it. You think I'm stupid. Seemingly all I have to do to counter your arguement is apply the same label to you. Thankfully I left grade school many years ago and no longer resort to phrases like "I know you are but what am I?"
I don't know you, but I'm pretty sure your an intelligent fellow, so again I ask why the personal attacks and complete lack of substance to your posts? If all you have to bring to the discussion is "Your a stupid asshole, so shut up" why bother posting anything?
