[QUOTE=Spit] Guy from the right says “The left will start riots”, and the chick from the left says “Let’s start riots”…If I were on the outside looking in, I wouldn’t think too highly of the left. _sigh_ [/QUOTE] So you think **Roseanne Barr** represents “the left”? You’re not serious, are you? (Maybe this is how honest conservatives feel when they get lumped in with half-wit douchebags like Limbaugh or O’Reilly.) ---

[QUOTE=Baldwin] Who’s a bigger asshole, Limbaugh or Sharpton? [/QUOTE] Shodan. Unless, as I am starting to suspect, Shodan is really staging a brilliant parody. Nobody could really be that fucking stupid and still be able to figure out how to turn on a computer. ---

[QUOTE=Spit] And [from the left side of things](http://radioequalizer.blogspot.com/2008/04/air-americas-roseanne-barr-wants-1968.html): Guy from the right says “The left will start riots”, and the chick from the left says “Let’s start riots”…If I were on the outside looking in, I wouldn’t think too highly of the left. _sigh_ [/QUOTE] She didn’t say anything about starting a riot. No equivalency here. Typical of the right blogosphere to try to fake some up, though. I didn’t even know Roseanne had a radio show. ---

Ahh…True, she did not use the word “riot”, she used the word “trouble” while comparing it to '68. And yes, I do consider her a voice of the left since she took over for Randi Rhodes on Air America. She is a far better host, imho. ---

And yes, I do consider her a voice of the left since she took over for Randi Rhodes on Air America. She is a far better host, imho. [/QUOTE] That’s… interesting. I’ve heard about Rush for years- long before I even thought much about politics. Hell, I imagine it’d be hard to find someone who didn’t know who he is or what his political views are. I had no idea that Roseanne Barr was on Air America. I had no idea she was involved politically at all. Heck, I figured she’d just disappeared into obscurity after her implosion several years ago. I even listen to Air America- occasionally. I guess I just don’t listen when she’s on. In my mind: Rush=political pundit, Roseanne Barr=washed up comedienne. ---

“The Star-Spangled Banner” **does** suck, as a song, and everybody knows it. [“This Is My Country”](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/This_Is_My_Country_(song)) would make a better national anthem. ---

> [@](#): > > Are you being deliberately obtuse? You can’t be this thick for real. This must be some kind of performance art. Be fair. Shodan’s trying to defend Rush Limbaugh. You try doing that while using reason and logic. You’ll find out it’s not easy. ---
