You mean us folks that don’t hate immigrants on the basis of their ethnicity correct?
Wow. I’m late to this thread, but everyone knew about Limbaugh in the 80s and 90s. Stern is a much less known and listened to, now and then. I’m aware that Howard Stern exists, but I’ve never heard his show nor heard anyone talk about is show (I guess I must have, because I do know he has a radio show. But I couldn’t tell you much more than that). I didn’t know he wrote a book. Limbaugh wrote books, and people wrote books about him.
I listened to him when he had the afternoon slot on double-you EN bee cee. He was still primarily a shock jock rather than a talk host during the period being discussed.
I’ve only listened to one talk host, a former DC-area DJ who started working out of St. Louis and refused to do controversial topics. He’s retired now.
I admit I’m flabbergasted by the contention.
The idea that Rush Limbaugh was some kind of unknown until after the 90s boggles my mind. Then again, I lived in Arkansas through the 90s so that might flavor things.
I lived in the suburbs of New York City, so Rush was just the newest right-wing propagandist on my radio. And his schtick was, at that point, the same schtick I’d been listening to for at least a decade.
Wow. Just, wow. Someone is suffering from inability to admit to reality to the point of derangement: Hint, it’s you @split_p_j.
I haven’t said a single word about Biden or his VP in this thread, I’ve chastised you for your hubris in demanding everyone accept your opinions as fact when you don’t bother to read any other posters. And for revisionist history when you tried to defend yourself for ignoring moderator instructions because you couldn’t be bothered to read the thread - just jumping in to shit on it - which you got warned for back in December.
This should sound familiar, because, oh, wait, you did it again TODAY. When you jumped into @Frodo’s thread about what is going on in Argentina to continue a hijack by another clueless poster, but managed to be even more boneheaded about it than usual, because the moderator instruction to drop the hijack was the post IMMEDIATELY before yours.
Getting you another warning. Just for any mods in the thread to see that it’s a pattern for you.
Basically, you’re too full of yourself to obey the rules of the board, or to read others posts, or to even verify the “facts” you cling to, despite literally everyone else doing so. Your repeated failures to provide actual cites when asked for them haven’t done you any favors either.
So, since it’s obvious that your patterns are getting worse if anything, and yet you reflexively blame everyone else for the problems without, again, even reading to what you’re responding too (see the section I quoted above), a well earned ignore.
I’ll probably have it back soonish at the rate you’re ignoring moderator instructions and accumulating warnings. Please continue to fuck around and find out.
This is going well, I see.
I lived on Guam from '90-'92. And even there, Rush was on the radio constantly. He was huge.
Rush Limbaugh had a TV show. I’m guessing racist conspiracy theorist rape apologist science denier Torn Nightgown had no idea that Rush ever had a national TV show on Fox. That’s because the TV show debuted in 1993, and ended in 1994, 7 years before anyone had ever heard of him.
Keep in mind, this little kerfuffle about Limbaugh is nothing. PJ believes in 9/11 conspiracies, believes that scientists don’t know what they’re doing, and thinks Bill Cosby didn’t do anything wrong and those ladies had it coming. These are all documented beliefs of his.
This is kind of like finding out that Adolf Hitler isn’t a fan of pizza and insisting that he should feel bad about that.
Given the total rejection of verifiable facts in the thread, all that 9/11 trutherism makes a lot more sense now.
Well, the country just got handed over to Trump, everything I’ve been saying is being proven true. I’ll stay in the pit since I’m not welcome on this board, but I tried to tell you all.
I’m seeing that some posters in that new thread are even admitting that black people don’t like Harris, and don’t see her as black, as I said. She is not going to cause an increase in the black vote like you all are saying, and without that there is no chance she can win. That’s not even adding the fact that there is no way any woman, black, white or mixed could be elected president of the US at this time. You can hate me for saying that and call me any name you want, but it’s true.
I tried to explain all this months ago in the Should Biden pick a new VP thread but was basically dismissed out of hand.
This is a disaster that could have been easily avoided by Biden picking a new running mate months ago as I said. We already knew he was old, and the VP would have to take over at some point, the VP was key.
The country is over now as I’ve also been saying.
You’re a ridiculous conspiracy theorist whose prediction history is mostly failure and no one will take you seriously because you’re not a serious person.
I hold a different view. I’m incredibly excited about the developments today and have overwheming confidence Harris will defeat Trump by biblical proportions.
I get the excitement, I do. I just totally disagree with the opinion that this will galvanize the black vote. She will almost certainly decrease turnout of the black vote in the age from 18-50, as I’ve been saying, and the polls are proving. And once again, that doesn’t mean they are going to Trump.
Older black people may still vote for her in '24, but that will not be enough.
On a personal note my 80-year-old mother was thinking of switching her vote after watching Vance’s speech at the RNC on C-Span. I had to talk her out of it, but she was totally believing all of the lies about immigration and the economy.
I’m just letting you know that this is not going to go the way you think it will, there will not be a swelling of support for Harris in the Black community.
Don’t take my word for it since I’m just a conspiracy theorist, look at the polls.
Maybe, but I saw this coming and have been posting on it for nearly a year now, I’m due that respect. The polls are finally backing up everything I’ve said, and you can dismiss them if you want but the polls got Biden to drop out of the race.
We all knew that the VP would come into play at some point, even if Biden won no one was really expecting him to finish a second term.
You can say I’m not a serious person, but that is just a whatever to me. I called this nearly a freaking year ago.
I actually once again call for an apology from this board and its moderators for defamation based off comments made in the Should Biden pick a new VP thread and my treatment after.
Specifically, my being labeled as a racist or not really black.
I of course stand behind all of my posts, including those on 9/11 and Cosby.
You called what? The election is months away. You haven’t called shit. You’re just another internet crank.

I called that it would wind up being a vote for the VP and that the current VP is weak and stated the reasons why.
Now the current VP is going to be the nominee, well maybe, we just don’t know yet four months before the election. And you all think this is a winning formula.
Then you say I’m not a serious person. Do you understand foolish you look here?
Yes, you’ve told us over, and over, and over that young Black folks are soo fucking racist that they’ll happily allow a party that just can’t ever find anything bad to say about slavery to win yet another election, give yourself a big pat on the back.
You don’t know shit. You’re guessing about things that haven’t happened yet. If Harris wins then your predictions will have been dog shit.
Go ahead and declare victory now if you want - all it does is make you look more like a clown.
