Nathan Tyree: Fucking Rush Limbaugh
Rush Limbaugh very nearly made my head explode yesterday. As I have mentioned earlier, Michael J. Fox (a fine actor, a nice guy and a Parkinson’s sufferer) has been appearing in ads is Missouri. These ads favor the Democrat running for senate. The reason is simple: she supports stem cell research and her opponent (the ethically challenged Jim Talent) does not.
For those of you living in a non-HD ready cave, Rush Limbaugh recently criticized Fox for this. He claimed that Fox was faking his symptoms for political reasons. Limbaugh then went into an animated physical parody of Fox’s tremors. I really wasn’t surprised by this. It’s the sort of thing that Rushie is famous for. He’s known as a mean spririted windbag.
So yesterday I tuned in to his show to see if he’d be making some sort of contrite apology. He wasn’t. Instead he was ranting that somehow the video of him ridiculing a man suffering from a dread disease was a “lie.†That’s right, according to Limbaugh, playing the video of his words and actions is equivalent to lying about him. I tried to wrap my head around the logic of that. The circuits started to go haywire and for a moment I thought that my head would explode.
On the debate over stem cell research the Republicans cannot win on the issues. The overwhelming majority of Americans support stem cell research and are not likely to be swayed. The GOP has tried hard to convince people that this is abortion (which it is not) or that somehow it will lead to human cloning (which is an asinine assertion). Since that isn’t working they have to resort to hateful personal attacks on the victims of disease.
The Talent McCaskill race is still very, very tight. In fact, a statistical tie.
Here’s a good article I found about Jim Talent
Oh, and here's a great article about what's wrong with the Republican hate Machine
addendum:
Today Limbaugh is ranting that the DEmocrats are behind teh Foley scandal. I guess he believes that Ted Kennedy used mind control to force Foley into being a sexual predator.
He also can't lay off of Michael J Fox. Today he talked about how Fox has been a Democratic operative for years. About how he's highly partisan. I guess he doesn't remember that Fox campaigned for Arlen Specter (a Republican).
