An edit is as good as deleting.
And since anyone in the public eye will have tweets copied instantly, it’s pointless. I’m thinking of the general idea of being forced to stand by ( or take back)what you say.
Everyone says Donald Trump is the best cheater there is! He’s terrific!
Do you have a macro in your computer to facilitate this handwaving away of any comments about what liberals do? I mean, I’ve probably seen it at least a dozen time by now.
Having said that, I can’t speak for the board’s other conservative posters but I don’t listen to right-wing radio and I don’t watch Fox News. I actually get most of my ideas about what liberals think and how they behave from this very board. But also watching how liberal politicians and liberal writers and entertainers behave and what they strive for, and of course by watching some the developments and ways things are handled in what appears to be liberal Nirvana, Europe.
In other words I get my “understanding about the left” from direct observation.
Maybe the realization hit Trump that his poll numbers are vastly inflated by people who won’t actually vote.
It’s easier to say you’ll pull the trigger than to do it.
Rubio is just as exclusive-only on the basis of class.
Or perhaps it will make TRUMP recognize his strength never lay in such a cuck state like Iowa anyways especially with its reactionary caucus voting system and to double his efforts in New Hampshire and South Carolina.
So what you’re saying is, Trump’s support is from people who don’t want to admit they like Trump.
Hey, The Blacks love him. Donald said so himself.
Others are observing you too you know?
You have attempted this suspiciously specific denial many times, but the reality is that you do read Limbaugh’s site or does get Limbaughs points from your circle of friends or sources. So you are really familiar with many of his dumb arguments, and more than once I have seen you reporting to us that you have a lot of familiarity with his show or site.
Damn, SA - You just got GIGOBusted!
Would you?! :o
Now you’re applying that phrase to states? Good grief.
He tweeted it again a few minutes after that. I think he deleted the first one because of a typo, not because of propriety.
Nope, my circle of friends is primarily liberal as a matter of fact but a few are conservative and one of them posted the Limbaugh comment. Limbaugh’s comments rarely find their way into my news feed and so I get very little info about him there. Now and then someone here goes into a rant about something he’s said and I’ll go to his website to find out more about it, but that doesn’t happen four times a year.
Certainly I’m aware of him and I’m well versed in his shtick. Also, for a year or two in the early nineties I listened to him and watched his TV show. His TV show as a matter of fact was what caused me to stop listening to him after he made a cruel joke about the 12 or 13-year-old Chelsea Clinton’s looks. I decided he really was mean-spirited after all and I quit following him. And like I said, I don’t listen to him now nor do I listen to any right-wing radio shows or Fox News or any other right-wing program.
Is it really so hard to believe that I don’t get my opinions about liberal attitudes, behavior and goals from reading this site, plus following what liberal politicos try to do and what liberals in the media and entertainment fields have to say and want to accomplish?
It may come as a shock to you, but many of us conservatives are quite capable of forming our own opinions about liberalism and its pros and cons without having it fed to us by right-wing activists. My own views vis-a-vis liberalism as well as my conservative way of looking at things far predate Fox News, Bill O’Reilly and Rush Limbaugh. For example, I was hip to the liberal nature of the news media going as far back as Richard Nixon and couldn’t believe the way the liberal press hounded him for almost the entirety of his career until they finally managed to run him out of office. And I’ve held them responsible ever since for inflicting Jimmy Carter upon the country.
I did like JFK, but he was a Republican anyway by today’s standards so that shows you how far back my current ideas of which governing standards should exist in a president I approve of go. I didn’t like LBJ or Hubert Humphrey or George McGovern pretty much for the same reasons I haven’t liked Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton or Barack Obama.
So you see, for a lot of people conservatism or liberalism is pretty much ingrained from birth. Both my parents were apolitical while I was growing up, and most of my friends, then as now, definitely leaned liberal. After all, hippie-dom and it’s concomitant idiocies were a well-known way to get laid in the late sixties. In other words, I wasn’t indoctrinated into conservatism by my parents or anyone else.
So, you can continue to kid yourself that no one would harbor a conservative thought or belief if not for right wing radio and television, but most of us conservatives have been blessed since birth with the values we believe in and the ability to see the damage that results when liberals get their way. This explains why even in the Western European socialistic paradises like Sweden, Norway, France and Great Brittain there is still strong conservative opposition. In other words, it’s in the genes, bucko!
Now I will admit, and have done so here before, that liberalism isn’t all bad. In fact, many of the things liberals strive for are well-intentioned and good. But they almost invariably fuck up when it comes to implementation and go way too far, more often than not needlessly causing ten new problems for every one they halfway solve. But I do want to go on record as saying that I don’t believe conservatives are always right and liberals are alway wrong. For example, and this may come as a surprise, but I’ve largely come around on the issue of universal healthcare, and primarily because of some the observations made by some of the more level-headed liberal posters here. However like I said above I still think the implementation of the health care plan we’re saddled with now and for the foreseeable future was fucked up and has put an unnecessary burden on low income people who can’t afford the co-pays and deductibles but are forced to buy it anyway, as well as depriving many other people of the once very good and affordable health insurance they once had. But these are issues for another thread and I don’t feel like spending time arguing about them anyway. I just wanted to go on record as not believing conservatives are always right or that liberals are always wrong no matter what.
Clearly not.
Lots of tap dancing and very little to show, in reality you should had learned a lot from what the left is telling you here in this board, but just a little sticks.
As pointed, someone that tell us that “Limbaugh sometimes has African Americans host his show in his absence and had his good personal friend Clarance Thomas perform the ceremony when he wed Marta Fitzger” (BTW that was said in the present tense (2010), not as it had been seen in the 90’s)
Is hardly a guy that is not paying lots of attention to a rotten source like him.
And just how many years did you have to go back to dig up those little bon mots?
I’ve already said that I’m familiar with him and used to listen to him regularly some 22 or 23 years ago. But having heard of bits and pieces of information about him over the years is not the same as following him and allowing myself to be told what to think by him.
Here’s another little tidbit for you: Elton Fucking John performed at Limbaugh’s wedding and they both quite liked each other.
Every time I engage with you I find myself wondering why I bother. :rolleyes:
2010 as noted already.
My experience with many listeners of Limbaugh is that he gets a lot of what he says to stick in the minds of many ditto heads, current or former. And really it has to be pointed again, knowing how often Rush allows black people in his show is not something a casual observer is likely to learn.
As for the rest of your useless reply, the reality is that in other occasions you did mentioned his site. Indeed, you did not listen to him, and you do not watch him, still that source is read. Anyhow, I did mention that you indeed have learned a bit about not relying on him, but as he is still part of the right wing info sphere, his ideas are still propagated and consumed by people like you.
So you did. I had stopped reading at that point because I see where you were headed.
And so you think that dredging up some little tidbit of information I posted about Limbaugh from 5 1/2 years ago proves that I follow him, eh?
Whateves. To my mind I could be telling Limbaugh what to say in many cases. So many people around here think I get my marching orders from him that I sometimes wonder if I missed my calling and should be a writer for his show.
Still, there are none so blind as they who will not see and I’m not gonna waste any more time with you.
I WILL concede that he’s been saying some very complimentary things about his daughter.
ETA: I’m perfectly aware that this comment is taken by me out of context. I’m not pretending to claim he’s serious about it.
Hey, no problems, I will let others see for themselves that you got caught. Again, a casual observer does not come with how many blacks were on his show and talks about it like if it was an ongoing thing, in any case you have your underwhelming way out: you just did check his website, so indeed you did not listen nor did you see him on TV.
Tells you all you need to know about whether this guys is worth engaging in a discussion, doesn’t it?
