Thread: Can you get any more hypocritical than this?

This, coming from a guy who's been referring to those in the women's rights movement as "femi-nazis" for decades?!?: From Newsmax.com "Limbaugh: Obama Ramps Up Hate Against Jews" America’s top radio talker says President Obama is “ramping up” hatred toward Israel and is creating an atmosphere conducive to anti-Semitism.

I don't see how opposing Israel's treatment of the Palestinians is equivalent to anti-semitism.

But don't be too hard on Rush. I suppose if your a right wing talk show host you need to keep spewing anti-Obama stuff while the mic is on. You're bound to say a few stupid things every minute or so.

Oh, it's certainly possible to be more hypocritical...just give him time.

It shouldn't surprise us as much when it comes from a political entertainer than when it does from the media or elected officials

Sometimes these subtle points are missed by our more "liberal" brethren brother Lee.

"political entertainer"; that's a cool term. I never thought of it like that. Puts a much more logical spin on things. Thanx.

Well, I can see your point, but at the same time this "political entertainer" has a very large part of the Republican party in his pocket. I mean, the party chairman was forced into a public apology for saying exactly what you said...there is some real swing there.

It's not that far fetched to say that Rush is the public face of the Republican party; even if you, as a member of the party, don't think so. He does. So things like "I want Obama to fail" coming from Rush sound like they're coming from the party, and that's the way I think he likes it.

You're right Jim. And his opinions represent and probably form the opinions of a whole bunch of voters - I don't discount that he's influential

wait...I thought Rush was voted as the Leader of the party or some nonsense?

Didnt the actual "Leader" apologize for rush for saying he was not the leader.

By who? That is an election I don't remember!

Well, if Rush was voted as the leader, then he was the actual leader. If Rush apologized for saying he was not the leader when he really was, then perhaps the initial question in this thread can be answered with a resounding yes!
