Why am I close minded? Because I don't hold the same view as you. Rush Limbaugh has shown himself repeatedly to be an ass. My opinion. He isn't really even worthy of a thread. One can only hope his 15 minutes are soon to be up. That way the airwaves will be cleared for someone with something of impoort to say.
First, you said " everthing that comes out of his mouth is shite" . I doubt very much that you've heard..for YOURSELF , what he's said himself at all. Have you ever listened to his show for more than 20 minutes ? 10 mintues ? I'm guessing 'no' to be the answer. So, based on that , I say your limited knowledge on what Rush says greatly limits your point of view.
Second, you say he's not worthy of a thread. Maybe, but tell that to MISBEHAVEN and fret over the 180 odd times folks have posted since this thread was started.
You say one can only hope his 15 mintues are up? Funny, he's been the top talk radio host for how many years now ? He's in his 19th season, just so you know.
But we can agree on ONE thing. This thread has exceeded its purpose. I'm done adding to it, for what that's worth.

Rue, admit it. You have fun callin' AU and Hero on their crap, don't you? It's like a microcosm of yelling at all neoconmen and their brainwashed minions everywhere, right?
Oh, here's the additional ammo you requested.

There have been all sorts of articles about Parkinson's lately.
Here is one I thought was interesting. It also addresses something I proposed to a colleague a couple of years back - that the hallucinations of schizophrenia were in effect dopamine-caused waking-dreams.
http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2006/10/061012190058.htm
When dopamine levels were dramatically reduced, the mice could no longer sleep, the scientists said. When dopamine levels were increased, the mice exhibited brain activity associated with dreaming during wakefulness.
The study also provided insights into the biology underlying schizophrenia, the researchers said. They found that the excess dopamine in the brains of the mice generated patterns of brain activity that made it look as though the animals were experiencing brain activity associated with dreaming when they were actually awake.
The new study suggests that destruction of significantly fewer dopamine-producing cells could result in sleep problems long before the motor problems become apparent, the researchers said.
The findings may also provide a mechanism to explain some of the symptoms, such as hallucinations, experienced by psychotic and schizophrenic patients, he said.
----------
One of the side effects of Parkinson's medication is visual hallucinations and powerful dream-like moods and ideas while awake. And as the sufferer needs higher and higher dosages to counter the effects of Parkinson's, the side effects become worse.
That BTW is the reason for the new warning on the flu drug Tamiflu, which is also 'dopaminergic'.

Fine, but you lie about what I post, completely invert the facts to the point that you're a idiot troll on here. It's clear that you're too emotionally immature to deal w/ issues on face value, and thats why you resort to name calling. I responded in like kind, but only in retaliation. It's clear that reasoned discourse w/ you isn't going to happen, because you refuse to see reason. I'll just consider yours as 1 less reply I'll waste my time with here. Have fun, troll.
Well said.
Except, you need to reverse it, as that's how many of us see you.
Great. You've now sunk to " I know you are, but what am I ?" responses. I think it's time for your nap. No juice and cookies for you either.

Sigh. So much for productive and rational discussion.

So AURaptor gets the accusation that is to be correctly applied to him in first erroneously on others, so that when he is corrected he can make some BS remark about "I know you are but what am I?" Wow, that's kinda like a masterful rhetorical technique. Almost as good as: "You either agree with everything we say or you are a Terrorist."
More insane ramblings by the people who brought you beeeer milkshakes!
No one can see their reflection in running water. It is only in still water that we can see.
