I can’t recall having had a debate with him before, and so far he seems fairly reasonable… Yeah, he _seems_ that way at first, but it’s a slow descent into sheer kookiness from there – crystals, ghosts, UFOs, magik, political incoherence as you’re seeing here…in short, quite the package. Here, a bit of background of what you’re getting into: [**Threads started by mswas in GD**](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/search.php?searchid=4526555) I’ve hardly read any of them – title usually tells me all I need to know. But this one I simply couldn’t avoid: [**Iraq is a total failure and is still on the brink of civil war**](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=521079) This post, in the thread that generated that one, is worth repeating – over and over: > [@Fraudulent Elections in Iran](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/fraudulent-elections-in-iran/499671/48): > > > [@Fraudulent Elections in Iran](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/fraudulent-elections-in-iran/499671/48): > > > > Yep, pretty much destroyed the country and now leave it in a state of civil war. An achievement to be proud of and which should be repeated in more countries in that region. > > It’s amazing that you guys don’t even realize that this statement is basically counter-factual. [**It is looking quite likely that Iraq was a stunning success**](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=11242911&postcount=62)… Yep, “stunning” indeed. 😉 But hey, not trying to stop you, 'cause I’ll be the first to tell you he’s good for a few laughs. And behind all the lunacy he seems to be a fairly decent chap…unlike others that shall remain nameless. So…enjoy!..and don’t go hibernating so soon on us. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/limbaugh-hitler-lenin-stalin-were-all-men-of-the-left/505972)._
