CNN commentator Jack Cafferty returned to his routine of bashing conservatives and Republicans in a column published on CNN.com on Tuesday titled “GOP becoming a cartoon.” He accused the Republican Party of “pandering to the right wing nuts that comprise Rush Limbaugh’s radio audience,” and listed this as the primary reason that the GOP lost the 2008 presidential election. Cafferty also bashed Republicans for being too busy “obstructing Obama's programs and criticizing the Democrats’ spending plans that are aimed at trying to bring the country out of a horrible recession.”
The commentator began by criticizing three notable Republicans -- Bobby Jindal, Sarah Palin, and Michael Steele. He labeled the Louisiana governor “embarrassing” for a small grammatical error. Cafferty denounced Palin (a regular target of his ire during the presidential campaign), accusing her of performing a “tawdry grab at a few dollars that didn’t belong to her,” after the Alaska governor decided to reimburse the taxpayer dollars she used to pay for the travel expenses of her children. But he saved the most stinging language for the Republican Party chairman, simultaneously jabbing Limbaugh in the process: “Michael Steele, the newly elected chairman of the Republican National Committee, down on his knees apologizing to the helium-filled poster boy of the conservative right? Pathetic.”
After making this thinly-veiled reference to the talk radio host, Cafferty decided to attack the millions who listen to Limbaugh: “If the Republicans are ever to emerge from the long dark night they have created for themselves it will have to be without pandering to the right wing nuts that comprise Rush Limbaugh’s radio audience. Didn’t they learn anything in the last election?”
The rest of Cafferty’s column stuck to the Republican/conservative-bashing theme. He chided the GOP for not condemning the “the evil their party put in the White House the previous eight years.” At the same time, the commentator bashed Republicans for not kowtowing to President Obama’s agenda: “But instead of getting on board the change train and recognizing the incredible amount of damage their people had done to the country, Republicans go blithely along as though nothing has happened. They’re busy obstructing Obama’s programs and criticizing the Democrats’ spending plans that are aimed at trying to bring the country out of a horrible recession.” Don’t the Republicans know that the president has “what it takes to lead this country back into the sunlight,” as the commentator himself put it?
Cafferty made an error of his own at the end of his commentary, after taking Jindal to task for making a mistake. He cited a “GOP straw poll” about 2012 presidential race where “Mitt Romney finished first followed by Bobby Jindal, Ron Paul and Sarah Palin.” Actually, the straw poll was conducted at the annual CPAC conference organized by grassroots conservative organizations. It is not affiliated with the Republican Party. Cafferty must have been too caught up in his anti-conservative tirade to get that detail correct.

Republican=Conservative. Not.
March 10, 2009 - 17:20 ET by nofateMouthpieces like Cafferty think that a Republican and a conservative are one and the same. I see nearly every MSM commentator make the same mistake. They all still think George Bush is a conservative. There are a few policies he took the conservative position on, but he is not A conservative.

Amen...
I will say this though, the majority of them do this intentionally...they have an agenda, we can see through it, they are doing their best make the conservative base minimal, insignificant...nothing like the on-going agenda with the left...
Unfortunately, in my opinion, there are quite a few moderates/centrists/ RINOs that want the same thing to happen to the conservative base.
We shall see what happens on down the road, that is for sure.
I guess Jack Cafferty lives
March 11, 2009 - 09:47 ET by winston smithI guess Jack Cafferty lives in a glass house. For Jack Cafferty to call anyone a 'nut job' when the drunken fool was guilty of hit & run, running down a bicyclist, dragging the bike under his speeding Cadillac for two blocks, running two red lights in the process and then claiming he was "unaware" that he had been involved in an accident, is the definition of 'nut job'. I guess 'ol Jack thinks our memory is just as poor as his. Senile dementia does have that effect.

March 10, 2009 - 17:39 ET by JTPYou are right Jack, we did not learn anything from the last election. The GOP must listen to you more closely from now on. That is the only way we will ever have power back again. I did not realize you cared so much for the success of the Republican party but you have set me staight. You are right also that we have been obstructing the Democrats way too much. They are only doing whats best for the country and we should get on board with the ideas and direction they have been leading us. I know I will be a better Republican for doing so. I will tune in every day for the next 3 years to get my marching orders. Thank You.

March 10, 2009 - 21:57 ET by TexasteacherDon't you realize?? Republicans/Conservatives are supposed to shut up, lay down, and take what the democraps dish out. cafferty and shultz are allowed to say whatever they want, whenever they want. Rush has stuff taken out of context and it's never nearly as bad. So yeah, come on trolls. Come out and play if you got the balls.
obama's notion of bi-partisanship is telling conservatives to shut up and do what he wants.

It will never stop
March 10, 2009 - 17:40 ET by richb313The MSM minions of the so called "Progressives" will never stop. They see the time as ripe to fufill thier collective agenda. The demonization of all things Conservative is no longer hidden in the Bias of news stories, it is now out in the open and the Masses are lapping it up. All one has to do is look to the comments at sites like Fark.com to see what I mean. I do not know if it will be possible to reverse the destructive course that Obama and the Democrat Congress will force on all of us. I hope that I am wrong and only writing this comment in a momentary fit of dispair.
I think perhaps that this country has to undergo a crisis of its' own making evry 50 to 70 years because the direct and indirect memory of such events are 2 generations removed from that event. The majority of people in this country no longer have a living relative that lived through the depression and sadly we are osing the WWII generation too quickly.

They blame all the problems of the world on those that do not believe in their shallow thoughts. Anyone outside of their life is a mindless, uneducated, racist, homophobic..etc., etc.
Let these idiots cower together. They do not know that so much of this country laughs at them.

Regarding the possibility of change for CT, I shall be attending a local "We Surround Them" meeting this Friday, in Danbury, a local town. This is an event brought about by Mr. Glenn Beck. Perhaps you have heard of it?
Anyhoos, it will be refreshing to meet other like-minded folks like myself. It is my hope that after this meeting, we can start to affect a true change in CT, absolutely. I would love to go straight to DC with my grievances, but it's better to start small, yes?
Thanks again for your encouraging post. I am aware of the situations in OH, what with the high unemployment and the like. It is my prayer that you continue to stand firm in your beliefs and convictions. We need to stick together right now, for sure.

I went to CNN...
March 10, 2009 - 18:36 ET by taocpaI went to CNN and posted a comment to Jack. Of course, to my utter shock and surprise (sarcasm intended), it didn't get published. It basically pointed out how wrong Cafferty was and while pointed bad grammar on the part of Jindal, his writing could use some help (did anyone notice he ended a sentence with a preposition? I recall my English teacher berating me for that one).
He's just parroting what the rest of the media is saying. He is in love with an unqualified president and covering for him, so just attack the other side. That's what Democrats are doing now. They have no plan, they have nothing that works so they change the subject and get the press to do their bidding. Meanwhile, the economy is going into the crapper and no one is paying attention.
Heaven forbid if Bush was in the White House how the media would be portraying him at this moment.

March 12, 2009 - 08:50 ET by taocpaI did point out to Cafferty in my comments besides his writing that Obama was changing the subject and not focusing on the economy. He changed the subject to health care, education reform, etc. and made comments about the stock market being the equivalent of a political tracking poll. I was appalled that the president would say such that while Americans, rich and middle class, were watching their retirement savings dropping by 40% or more, virtually wiping them out.
I have seen clients who have been wiped out as a result of this decline under Obama. It started with Bush, but they hung in there figuring Obama would help. This really lays at the feet of Paulson and Geithner and with Geithner's appointment, it has gotten worse and we watched it go straight into the toilet as a result. This isn't funny to me at all.
When I see the president, who can't even look us in the eye and tell us he is going to work his butt off to fix the economy, because he needs a teleprompter even for the shortest speech, I get worried. He is changing direction and focus. His work should be on the economy and not health care or education right now. Let HHS do that. Let the Education Dept. do education. He needs to help that moron Geithner right now or get rid of him.

Limbaugh's "Right-Wing Nuts"
March 10, 2009 - 19:53 ET by nandrelliAs a long-time Limbaugh listener, I can say that there is a higher level of discussion on Limbaugh's show than on virtually any other, and definitely higher than on any liberal show I've listened to (can't take too much of those guys, they are all the same: "Bush is stupid. 0bama is the greatest thing since sliced bread. Hung-up conservatives clinging to God and guns. Mouth-breathers. Inbred. Jesus freaks. Flat-earthers who don't believe in global warming, blah blah blah")
Anyone who believes what Cafferty says obviously does not listen to Rush, but that is the problem. There are probably millions of libs who only listen to people like Cafferty, Olbermann, and Matthews and believe they are getting the true picture of people like Rush, Hannity, Laura Ingraham, Melanie Morgan, Glenn Bec, Mark Levin, Michael Savage (well, in his case, they may be right. Savage is so far to the right that he wraps back around at you from the left!!). And they won't bother listening to "our guys", so they think they know what they are talking about when they bash them.
It's just more dishonesty on the part of the MSM. Anyone surprised?
weird
March 10, 2009 - 20:22 ET by dr_devil_dogIt's funny, from reading comments and blogs on this site and comparing them to liberal sites, there is an interesting common thread. Both extremes refuse to accept the other, have created obnoxious and demeaning nicknames to put the other side down and believe fervently that they are correct. I s it not possible that this division is created by an unseen power? That this division is being used to pit Americans against each other for the benefit of a few powerful people, corporations, politicians, what have you (this of course would mean that Cafferty, Olbermann et al are equally guilty of playing into this game as rush, Hannity, etc..)? Personally I think it is time for a new direction for America (different from the last 8 years I mean), and obviously many others ( a majority) agree. Does that mean that I hate conservatives? Not at all. Do I deserve your wrath and bitterness? I dont think so. Just saying, there might be more to this than meets the eye. Obviously some intelligent and lucid people on this site, but the venom is stinging my eyes. I think Obama should be given a chance, Democrats should be given a chance. If an approach to a problem doesnt work, do you not need to try something new? anyway, I'm sure I'll get attacked, but i'm just putting it out there.

March 11, 2009 - 01:22 ET by dr_devil_dogi think we should question all politicians, all leaders, absolutely. I guess what I am saying is that there are perhaps more productive, less spiteful ways of doing it. Obama may very well turnout to be a complete failure, but as an American i sure hope not. I was hoping Bush didnt turn out to be a complete failure as well by the way. My understanding is that the point of this site is to monitor what you refer to as the MSM. That seems like a fair enough objective, but is Fox not also part of the MSM? People right here in this comments section have pointed out that CNN doesnt have the viewership of FOX (i havent researched the numbers, but i seem to remember reading that FOX has the largest audience of the cable news networks). What constitutes the MSM? It seems to me like anyone who reports in a fashion that you disagree with is the MSM. Fine with me, but that goes back to my original point, I don't understand how you can't be aware of the incredible hypocrisy of many things stated here.

If you bother reading the posts here as well as the individual thread postings, you will see how sometimes even Fox comes in for criticism. So, nice try at being intellectually dishonest. Next, go read the masthead again, and try and find this website's mission statement.
i think we should question all politicians, all leaders, absolutely. I guess what I am saying is that there are perhaps more productive, less spiteful ways of doing it. Obama may very well turnout to be a complete failure, but as an American i sure hope not. Believe me, as an American, I sure hope so. That's because I do not want the United States turned into yet another whiny European style Nanny State populated by citizens whose #1 goal is to be a serf, a Ward of the State, a helpless slave to people with nothing more than political power. This isn't spite, as you so pitifully whine. This is a statement of basic philosophy.

does everyone here agree that obama is purposefully running our economy into the ground? is there a motive? is there evidence? where did you get that idea from? perhaps from the media? maybe, just maybe, you yourself are not a politician with any real knowledge of what this president, or any others, motives or plans might actually be. maybe you read, listened or watched someone else explain to you that this is the way that is. just a thought, i could be wrong, you could be bill clinton or something.

March 11, 2009 - 10:09 ET by Unsanedoes everyone here agree that obama is purposefully running our economy into the ground? It's hard to see how He isn't. He has made it plain over and over again that He is a committed Socialist who has made it plain that He will not rest until the government is in as much total absolute control of the economy as possible. And His actions betray this ideology. If he were smart politically, He would wait until the storm blows over to act as Leftist as He is. But He is not.
is there a motive? To put the government in as much control of the economy as possible and to do something he is obsessed with: stealing wealth from the productive and giving it to the undeserving, just as He told Joe the Plumber He wanted to do, just as He told a Chicago radio station He wanted to do when He was a no-name politician. is there evidence? Hmmm. The DJIA and S&P, and NASDAQ are rallying for the second straight day, it looks like, but the numbers don't lie. Atlas is Shrugging. They have all been dramatically lower since His Majesty The Shahinshah was elevated. Why is that?
where did you get that idea from? perhaps from the media? No. I got this idea from His own words and the collective reactions of investors who crunch REAL numbers and work ina REAL economy and do a teensy bit more than sit around HOPING for CHANGE. maybe, just maybe, you yourself are not a politician with any real knowledge of what this president, or any others, motives or plans might actually be. Perhaps, but there is a ton of evidence that he has Socialist tendencies. That you refuse to look at it or consider it in the name of being wishy-washy is scarcely my fault. maybe you read, listened or watched someone else explain to you that this is the way that is. just a thought, i could be wrong, you could be bill clinton or something. Nope. Sure, I may have been told, but events have proven this true.

Why should we give that
March 10, 2009 - 22:04 ET by TexasteacherWhy should we give that affirmative action a**hole a chance to screw up the country when we know for a fact that his policies are dangerous and destructive? We act on our principles and they are not negotiable. Your savior has no principles, no morals, and no backbone. If you want your socialist nirvana, do us a favor and go visit venezuela for a few years.
obama's notion of bi-partisanship is telling conservatives to shut up and do what he wants.
hey teach
March 11, 2009 - 01:39 ET by dr_devil_doghow do we know "for a fact" that his policies are dangerous and destructive? what principles are you acting on? In America are we not all allowed to have principles and act on them, or must we all assume your principles and agree with them?
blind hatred is a dangerous and ugly thing. im trying to understand where its coming from, but so far not much gained from these discussions.
Because we know for a fact
March 11, 2009 - 09:27 ET by TexasteacherBecause we know for a fact that socialism has never worked. It does nothing but drag a nation down. Nobody can make it work, especially some hack politician from chicago that doesn't know how to do anything but campaign for office. And no, you are not allowed to act on your principles if they are destructive towards other people/groups of people. Blind hatred is a dangerous thing, so go ask your dear leader why he hates this country so much when it has been nothing but good to him.
obama's notion of bi-partisanship is telling conservatives to shut up and do what he wants.
Yes. it is funny and I cannot stop all teh laughing.
March 11, 2009 - 01:47 ET by JWFIt is funny how some people can visit sites all over the interwebs and still not be able to discern the truth when it smacks them in the face.
It is funny how some people buy in to the leftist conspiracy rants about how corporations and politicians are running the whole show and actual voters are blind and cannot see it except of course the leftist conspiracy loons.
It is funy how this country has elections every 2 years and a Presidential election every 4 years, but somehow we only go in a "new direction" when leftist loons desire it.
It is funny how leftists loons can sputter on in a 300 word paragraph and actually have almost nothing to say.

El Rushbo's Fans are Nuts
March 10, 2009 - 20:40 ET by SterlingMr. Cafferty is dead on the money. Limbaugh’s fans are nuts. Come on have any of you actually listened to his program? Have any of you listened to the callers who ring up the show? You have three groups- you have the crazy cat ladies who call up and say that they wished their husbands were just like Rush; and how they named their newest cat El Rushbo. You have the grumpy old men who complain about everything- the price of milk, the price of cabbage and the neighbor kids who are always playing on their lawn. Finally the last group consists of the “quasi-thinkers” this is the group that thinks there is a conspiracy everywhere they go. They go on for twenty minutes about philosophy but never have any point. It is quite amusing to listen to this program and mock it- with my co-workers though.

March 11, 2009 - 19:07 ET by BO STINKSObviously, you have never listened to Rush's show. If you had, you would have heard narrow-minded men such as yourself call up and challenge Rush.

You have never listened to it once.
I hope he fails, too.
The Truth Hurts
March 10, 2009 - 20:59 ET by SterlingI do listen to Limbaugh- and as I can see from the reactions you know what I said is the truth. Come on his show is sooo predictable. He has his thirty minute monologue at the beginning….he then goes on to say how great he is….then he reads some of the headlines, (usually messes that up)….. Then his lunatic fringe followers call up and tell him how great he is. If that is entertaining then you people need to get out more.

March 10, 2009 - 21:16 ET by cocodrieIt really seems to bother you that so many of us here listen to and agree with Rush.
Liberal talk shows could be as big if there were enough listeners to agree with them. Rush's format seems to work well for him and his listeners.
We would get out more but we haven't been invited to the wild-assed parties with $100 lb. steak at the White House.

March 11, 2009 - 01:53 ET by dr_devil_dogi would pose the argument that liberals just dont need to have daily confirmation of their ideas. also Rush, as he himself will tell you, is an Entertainer. You should listen to him and be entertained, he can be very funny, not take his every word and treat it as holy gospel. and i wonder how many of you get the irony of the amount of rush fans on a site devoted to busting news media bias. thats a laugh right there. i keep forgetting that you guys dont actually care about busting media bias, you care about busting Liberal media bias.
More silliness
March 11, 2009 - 10:24 ET by Unsanei would pose the argument that liberals just dont need to have daily confirmation of their ideas. I would pose the argument that this is because Leftism is less a series of political ideas than it is a religion - it constantly fails, yet they still believe with religious devotion that it will in the end work. I don't need "daily confirmation" of my ideas - this happens in everyday life, with or without AM radio.
and i wonder how many of you get the irony of the amount of rush fans on a site devoted to busting news media bias. thats a laugh right there. This is because Limbaugh makes no bones about his bias. No one listens to his program thinking he's objective.
The media you so worship constantly whine and cry about how unbiased and objective they are, when in fact the reverse is true. In fact, if the MSM took a page from their European brethren and declared their biases and let them out in the open, this website wouldn't exist, the MRC wouldn't exist (at least in its current form) and we could ALL watch the news without needing BS lenses so much. (That's one reason I like The Economist: I know their biases before I hit page 10. Since I know where they are coming from, I don't have to worry about if I am getting sold a bill of goods or not, at least so much, for I know their perspective.)
i keep forgetting that you guys dont actually care about busting media bias, you care about busting Liberal media bias. Well, my wishy-washy Leftist poster, at least you read the masthead and found the mission statement. Do you want a website that goes after conservative media bias? Than go start one of your own. Or go read Media Matters.

What a crock, part 2
March 10, 2009 - 21:17 ET by UnsaneHe seldom has 30 minute monologues - he has to take Obscene Profit Time-Outs, you see.
Yes, he does toot his own horn, but he HAS to. See, in order for him to be a successful broadcaster, you have to have something that sets you apart. You have to have a shtick. Mr. Limbaugh is a confident individual; he plays it up in places. And it obviously works, or he wouldn't drive you nuts...that is, IF you listened to his show as you claim.
(If I that strongly disliked one's radio show, I wouldn't listen. But that's just me. I sure wouldn't be spending all my time drawing attention to him all day and all night.)
I don't think he messes up the headlines. On occasion when he reads some from news sources I have read - as he occasionally does - he gets that dead on. That, and he often posts his sources to his website.
And actually, his "lunatic fringe" callers (wow, the tolerance of the Left for other views just astounds, does it not) don't spend all their time talking about how great he is - the call screener doesn't care for that all that much. That would make the show boring. His callers can bring in some great points. The Leftist callers are the most entertaining of all, to be quite honest. You should call his show sometime. I bet he pushes you to the front of the line.
It is entertaining AND informative. I get out quite a bit. I have to. Being the multifaceted personality I am, I have many ways to keep me entertained.
Thank you for showcasing your intellectual bankruptcy by drawing attention to a guy on the radio that you hate, all the while showcasing that you have no way to counter either his ideas or those ideas espoused by various posters on NB. Don't walk away mad; just walk away.
And once again thanks for demonstrating you do not listen to his show.

March 15, 2009 - 11:59 ET by nofateGreat synopsis. I have learned more from listening to Rush than I ever did in school. Just yesterday Jason Lewis, the guest host, recommended a book I happen to be reading, but also mentioned two more on economics that I put on my want list. I have learned about Hayek, Friedman, constitutionalism, originalism, and the fraud that is the so-called "liberal" (a co-opted name if there ever was one) wing of the Democrat party.
One of my favorite aspects of his show is "illustrating absurdity by being absurd". Remember KOOKS, caller abortions, female caller pictures, supporting the Clintons, and many others? He has a fertile imagination and a grasp of politics and business that most of us can only aspire too, and he has the ability to inspire his audience to optimism and the challenge of attempting to achieve their dreams. A real hate-monger, right?

Limbaugh=Megalomaniac
March 10, 2009 - 21:03 ET by SterlingRush Limbaugh generated this obsession. He fanned the flames and picked a fight with the President of the United States. This megalomaniac even challenged Obama to a debate on his show. He is a shock jock plain and simple. I find him far more entertaining than Howard Stern but simply because his callers are more fun to mock.
Get your facts straight
March 10, 2009 - 21:29 ET by UnsaneGet your facts straight. Mr. Limbaugh stated that he hopes His Majesty The Shahinshah fails. His Majesty The Shahinshah, who, like you, cannot tolerate opposition, and just wish we conservatives would just SHUT UP and go away, decided to declare war on a private citizen. And why? Well, he exercised his right to free speech and dared to question His Majesty The Shahinshah.
You see, no one is allowed to question His Majesty The Shahinshah under any circumstances. Not Rick Santelli, Not Jim Cramer, and not Rush Limbaugh.
What does this say about Him? His Majesty The Shahinshah is the freaking President. And He is SCARED of one guy with a microphone and 600 affiliates? To me that is extremely pathetic. Maybe He should just try something called governing instead. Maybe if He just ignored Limbaugh as he had before, He'd be better off.
As for the debate request, that was in response to some asinine Leftists who claim that Mr. Limbaugh chairs the GOP. Mr. Limbaugh adroitly pointed out that if he is in fact the GOP leader - and he is not a party man, but an ideologue, by his own admission - that he SHOULD debate the leader of the Democrats. That man is His Majesty The Shahinshah. What could be wrong with Mr. Limbaugh debating Him, even if it is a mere suggestion?
A megalomaniac is one who has more or less an insatiable appetite for power. Not Mr. Limbaugh. Once again, you show me you do not listen to him. He has said repeatedly he wants nothing to do with politics because he "can't take the pay cut".
I guess it is easier to attack him, his audience, and whine about what a "shock jock" he is, because it is much easier than formulation your very own ideas and debating them with him and other conservatives. That's too bad.

Every now and then though, some idiot gets through the screeners spouting the most absurd, idiotic drivel (Oh, sorry if that was you) and Rush is still polite and patient with them.

It would be like you or I taking offense with someone saying Angelina Jolie is a bad actress- then going out and attacking that person with vile hate speech.

I can say this because I am a lifelong Republican. 1) Republican does not equal conservative. 2) Leftists cannot be honest about who they are.
At least with Obama he is actually making policy and changing lives…He's changing lives alright. By attacking the successful producers in this country, and threatening to punish them and steal from them at every turn. In turn, my investments are falling through the floor, as are those of millions of others. Does He or you care? Nah. It's all about a Nanny State led by His Majesty The Shahinshah.
with Rush it is just celebrity worship. Nah. I'd argue he has a little more going for him than that. But once again, you cannot debate ideas with him or conservatives, so all you are left with is belittling. Very sad.
It would be like you or I taking offense with someone saying Angelina Jolie is a bad actress- then going out and attacking that person with vile hate speech. What "hate speech"?
The Rush fans have to realize that diversity is a good thing. Leftists like you and nwahs sure don't. He wants TWO Leftist parties; you scream about Rightist intolerance but are offended that Limbaugh is allowed to breathe in the same atmosphere as you. So much for the tolerance and diversity of Leftists...
Oh by the way when was the last time Limbaugh even debated a liberal and not just some make believe stereotype that he has call his show? His repeated visits to Meet The Depressed, among others. Tim Russert was not a Rightist, that's for sure.
When was the last time you engaged a Rightist in a debate of ideas?
Once again showing me you do not listen to his show nor do you see his television appearances.

Make one comment about Saint Rush and the floodgates open. No, I save that for when you attack the Canadian power trio. THEN I get p***ed. The old-timers here know that.
They degenerate into children on a playground. Much easier to belittle and attack the posters than it is to challenge their ideas with your own ideas on an intellectual basis. If anyone has degenerated into children on a playground, who go screaming and crying to the teacher when the big bad conservative bullies actually challenge them with IDEAS.
Maybe that explains the fascination with Sarah Palin, they all need a mommy figure. Yet another Leftist who accuses the Right of what you routinely do. YOU worship His Majesty The Shahinshah because you cannot function without Him or the Nanny State you so worship. You cannot do one damn thing without Him personally feeding you, burping you, changing you, and otherwise constantly pampering you. It's the Leftists who so lustfully dream of becoming Wards of the State, not th Right.
And isn't it interesting how you hide by conversing with another Leftist fellow traveler, bitching and whining about things that Leftists routinely do (that you yet accuse Rightsist of doing) and not engaging Rightists in an exchange of ideas? More intellectual vapidity. Sad.

March 10, 2009 - 21:58 ET by nwahsDo you think they name memorials after people who are alive? Common, be honest :)

Whiffle ball
March 10, 2009 - 22:47 ET by UnsaneNot long ago in The Economist there appeared an article about how various places in America are being named after His Majesty The Shahinshah already. What does THAT tell you?
Loop 410 would have been named the John Connally Loop had the man himslef not personally intervened and told the City of San Antonio to hold that honor until he died.
My hometown of San Antonio has several high schools named after the living, or schools named after the living at the initial point of their construction (who later died, but not before said school was operational).
Need I go on?

March 10, 2009 - 22:05 ET by SterlingI usually do not read manifestos by right winged extremists; but I do have to point out that it seems to be the Democrats with all the ideas. You may not like them; but name one new policy that your new leader has come up with. Do I hear crickets? No all El Rushbo does is regurgitates old Reagan talking points. That is not ideas my friend- that is plagiarism.
Idea time
March 10, 2009 - 22:24 ET by UnsaneLike what ideas? Not the Democrats, they have NONE (the market is reflective of this, as it is WAY down since Election Day). How about YOURS?
Maybe you should read some Right Wing manifestos. I'd recommend Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand (not many conservatives like her, but I do). For starters. At the very least, you won't sound like you live in an echo chamber.
Hmmmm...how about ideas like instead of a porkulus package, we suspend all tax withholding until April or so? It would cost about the same and boost the amount of money consumers would have - you know, the largest component of GDP? A Congressman from TX suggested that. (Not all the ideas come from leaders.) I think it intriguing.
I have lots of ideas I think could work. Care to hear several?
The Shahinshah? Spend money we don't have on projects we don't need or would be better off funding locally. That's not much of a good idea.
That is not ideas my friend- that is plagiarism. Then millions of Americans are plagiarists. Interesting you accuse others of plagiarism, considering that the VP lifted the words of Neil Kinnock and thus actually COMMITTED plagiarism. Unlike Limbaugh, who is merely espousing ideas that have been batted around since time immemorial (and here you demonstrate your lack of history knowledge).

March 11, 2009 - 01:57 ET by JWFHi. My name is Sterling. I just stopped by to drop a little liberal turd bomb in the still waters of reason.
I will come in with my little ad hominem attacks and see what I can stir up. I only do ad hominem attacks because it is the only way I will ever make a mark on the planet.
I have nothing of any real import to say now or at any point in the future. Please pay attention to me because I am so very very lonely. Vicious personal attacks in response to my liberal turd bombs are better than nothing. At least someone will pay attention to me for a few minutes.
I know, it is not much but it is all I have.

You really cannot function without those stereotypes, can you, my tolerant Leftist? Why, those stereotypes are like little security blankets...to be blown away by the cold, harsh winds of reality...

You don't get away quite that easily
March 10, 2009 - 22:01 ET by UnsaneHow?
Explain to me how success always equals getting gobs and gobs of money. In fact, I'd say your money hangup is in fact very indicative that you are in fact a Socialist, as it seems to possess you.
Success changes depending on goals, visions, what you wish to do, what you wish to achieve, and on and on and on. Success is much more complex a meaning than meets the eye.
Take marathon training, for example. In my case, what I want to do is run one without stopping while averaging 8-9 minutes a mile. Am I getting any monetary benefit from it? No. I'm just getting the satisfaction of proving to myself that I can do it. If I can, THAT is success.
I'd hate to think your life is that devoid of meaning. In fact, I'd find that downright depressing.

March 10, 2009 - 22:14 ET by SterlingOh please, what is wrong with wanting to make money- I will not be made to feel guilty for wanting to live a lavish lifestyle? As for marathon running, I am sorry I just do not get that- you must be some sort of sadomasochist to put your body through that. I on the other hand am taking culinary classes and the chef told me that I was his most talented student. Yes, I am quite the cook… sorry ladies I am taken. Oh by the way, if you are good at what you do you will get rewarded with money. Is that not how capitalism works? Ergo: Because I am successful at what I do: I am rewarded with money. Now if you will excuse me I simply must retire to my chamber.

March 10, 2009 - 22:58 ET by UnsaneThat's ALL sterling is left with (much like how he considers NB posters to have degenerated into being children; he has nothing else in his arsenal than insults). He seems to have great difficulties enjoying life or what it means to push oneself.
I pity him more than anything. And that particular post reveals something of an inferiority complex, I suspect.

Success continued
March 10, 2009 - 22:34 ET by UnsaneRetire to your chamber, for you have been soundly thrashed. Please quote for me where I stated where I found anything wrong with making money. This only shows your continued desire to be less than fully intellectually honest.
If I thought making money was wrong, I wouldn't have investments.
What I DID say - go back and read my post; I am so repeatedly assured that Leftists are the smartest, most nuanced people anywhere in the world - is that there are many ways to define success. Sure, you can use money. But getting gobs and gobs of money is not the only measure. You seem to suggest that it is THE measure.
What I AM saying is that money is not the be all and end all. This is the case for many many many people, like it or not. Sure, I'd love to have a few billion, even if that would make me a personal target for your God, His Majesty The Shahinshah - but in my mind I'd still be a failure if other things didn't fall into place with it. Success can seldom be bought.
Some more books for your reading list: The Millionaire Next Door and The Millionaire Mind. They touch on much the same themes in places.
Oh by the way, if you are good at what you do you will get rewarded with money. Is that not how capitalism works? Ergo: Because I am successful at what I do: I am rewarded with money. Yet it burns you up that one man with a microphone and 600 affiliates is bringing in $400 million for doing just that. And res quantum valorem tantum vendi potest, as I like to say; that in fact applies to people as well.
Oh yes: you espouse capitalism yet worship a man who despises capitalism and wishes to destroy it. The irony...

March 10, 2009 - 22:56 ET by SterlingOnce again Unsane you have taken my words and thrown them out of context. I have never once said that Limbaugh should be off the air. I have gone out of my way to say that I listen to him and mock him. I believe half of his audience is doing the same exact thing. We are not laughing with him; we are laughing at him.
Again, I have never said that I am angry at how much money he makes. I applaud the dummy for being able to achieve such wealth… only in America.
Next, I will not read your far-right winged propaganda books that were probably bought at a gun show.
Finally here is a little saying that I like when referring to El Rushbo: Hostis humani generis.
What an idiotic stereotypical comment
March 10, 2009 - 23:27 ET by UnsaneOnce again Unsane you have taken my words and thrown them out of context. I have never once said that Limbaugh should be off the air. I have gone out of my way to say that I listen to him and mock him. I believe half of his audience is doing the same exact thing. We are not laughing with him; we are laughing at him. HAHAHAHA!!!! You accuse ME of taking your words out of context???
Read above. I waxed philosophical about success and you responded by accusing me of hating money making endeavors and capitalism. Contradictions constantly collapse!
Seriously, if you hated Limbaugh that much, you COULD ignore him and maybe he'd go away. Maybe if the spotlight wasn't shined upon him so much maybe people would ignore him or not know about him. Hell, I didn't know about him until a 60 Minutes interview in 1992. I've listened off and on since (mostly off these days as I am too busy with too many different projects, many of which considering your stereotypical blasts here would shock you). If I don't like a radio, TV show, or a book, or publication, or whatever, I don't listen and laugh or mock (I am still convinced you don't listen to him, only what others say, and your intellectual vapidity here speaks volumes in that regard), I WALK AWAY, because I, believing in capitalism, don't believe in giving economic signals green-lighting the production of CRAP.
Again, I have never said that I am angry at how much money he makes. I applaud the dummy for being able to achieve such wealth… only in America. I readily acknowledge you never said anything about his wealth. What I AM saying is that his success has you steamed, whether he gets $400 or $4 billion or whatever over any span of time. So thank you for allowing me to clarify.
Next, I will not read your far-right winged propaganda books that were probably bought at a gun show. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And you have the AUDACITY to suggest you are a tolerant guy...or at the very least, are surrounded by intolerant Limbaugh fans??? This is THE MOST INTOLERANT STATEMENT I HAVE HEARD TODAY!!!
For your information, I have never been to a gun show. ALL of those books I have recommended to you were in fact purchased at a Barnes & Noble - hardly a conservative bastion. But it might also shock you to know that I have a college education under my belt as well.
Ayn Rand should shock you most of all - she is resented by far Right wing extremists due to her atheism, something with which I find agreement. (Imagine that - a conservative atheist on NB!!!) I don't know about you, but if far Right wingers don't agree with it - or most of it, anyway - it can't be considered to be far Right wing propaganda. I figured you being a "lifelong Republican" and all, as you so claim in a hollow fashion, would be all up for that. But I guess it is much easier to live in an echo chamber.
I don't know what books they'd have at gun shows - primarily because I have never been to one. Even here in TX, where they are plenty. However, now that you mention it, I really should take my 9mm to a range at some point and fire some rounds.
So now that I have blasted your stupid stereotype straight into the ground, do you wish to further embarrass yourself?
You won't read those books for the same reason you do not listen to two seconds of Limbaugh - you are intellectually vapid, and cannot stand having your Leftism challenged. You can't stand seeing those beliefs challenged because you have no way to defend them, as you demonstrate time and time again on NB. It is much easier to type idiotic stereotypical statements than to challenge ideas, primarily because you cannot.
You only reveal more and more of yourself here with every word you type. And it is NOT a pretty picture. You may want to "retire to your chamber" to at least soemwhat recover. As for me, I might go to bed later.

Stereotypes?
March 10, 2009 - 23:39 ET by SterlingWhat makes you think that I have never read Rand? I have read the Fountainhead and found it quite obscene. Only a pervert would recommend this author’s novels. The hero of this book Howard Roark rapped the lead female character. You are quite the intellectual- As for Atlas Shrugged it was an amateurish attempted at philosophy. I guess I was right about you being a sadomasochist because throughout the pages of Atlas Shrugged are themes of this.
Sorry, but I am not so insecure to assume that I have to list every book that I have ever read to meet your approval. As for having a degree- good for you.

“The way to stop discrimination on the basis of race is to stop discriminating on the basis of race.” -- Chief Justice John Roberts
Yes, stereotypes
March 11, 2009 - 00:29 ET by UnsaneWhat makes you think that I have never read Rand? I have read the Fountainhead and found it quite obscene. Only a pervert would recommend this author’s novels. The hero of this book Howard Roark rapped the lead female character. One of my favorite novels featured a scene where a woman was about to be gang raped. One man had already committed the deed. A party descended upon the house, and the man who led the party killed three of them in a fit of rage with his bare hands and a knife. He and the party rescued the girl. This owes less to my perversion and more to reading a novel about war which did little to hide the realities even in a fictional setting. (The book was a bestseller; that makes for a LOT of perverts doesn't it?)
Don't get me started on the Stephen King novels I have read that make anything you read in The Fountainhead pale by comparison (such as It).
Or, the cold hard reality of the book After The Reich. The chronicles of the evictions of the Germans in 1945 from Eastern Europe is not for the faint at heart. Or the chronicling of the crimes of Beria, a sex addict and serial rapist, in Stalin: The Court of the Red Tsar.
Let me guess: you lead efforts by public libraries to ban I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings?
If you are going to let that stop you from reading The Fountainhead you are truly missing out.
As for Atlas Shrugged it was an amateurish attempted at philosophy. I guess I was right about you being a sadomasochist because throughout the pages of Atlas Shrugged are themes of this. Disagree. I thought it laid out the philosophy very effectively. I can't think of a better novel more Americans should be reading right now.
I surely am a greater intellect than you are. At least I can be honest about my Rightism; at least I can show where I am coming from. At least I admit who I am and what I stand for on this forum. I cannot say the same about you.
Sorry, but I am not so insecure to assume that I have to list every book that I have ever read to meet your approval. As for having a degree- good for you. I didn't ask you to. Truth be told, I'd be willing to bet you don't read: you are probably only guided by the world of the visual like countless Leftists I interact with daily. Sure, you will read - what the High Priests of Leftism TELL you to read. Again, that's unfortunate. And the good thing about me is that I like to talk about what I read because other people need to go out and enjoy them for themselves, I hope.
But enjoyment is something you are incapable of feeling, I suspect. From everything I have seen here, you are nothing more than a hate-filled little man, who harbors nothing but extreme contempt for his fellow man (a common trait among Leftists as they like to look down snobbishly upon others) and can't even see what his fellow man says and does beyond the scope of stereotypes which I am so repeatedly assured Leftists do not utilize, as they are, again, as I am repeatedly assured, the smartest and most tolerant human beings on the planet.
You can't even control yourself. You mock Limbaugh and his audience and cling to your hateful stereotypes of Rightists because you are the pawn of your own HATRED and SHEER CONTEMPT of your fellow man. And I suspect, you live a very miserable existence - so much so that you have to spread that misery evenly among many others.
Finally, it is too bad that you have had to change the subject of this thread to spin your Far-Right talking points. Again, accusing me of what you routinely do time and time and time again.
You changed the subject here long ago and now you throw a hissy about it. And you SCREAM about my "far right wing talking points"; this from a guy who burst onto the scene on this thread vomiting Leftist talking points about a guy from MO who just wants to be on the radio. (All the while constantly lying about how you listen to the show when clearly he do not and lying about how you are a "lifelong Republican" because he is too embarrassed and ashamed to admit to his Leftism and his worship of His Majesty The Shahinshah.) HATEFUL talking points at that, because, once again, as you seem hell-bent on proving that you cannot intellectually debate ideas of any sort, you HAVE to resort to attacking Limbaugh, his audience, and NB posters because you have NOTHING upon which to fall back.
You have made plain you are a very miserable human being. You are to be pitied and not at all envied. So DO TRY to have a nice night as you "retire to your chamber".
P.S. You don't like me calling out on your use of stupid Leftist stereotypes? That's okay. The solution is simple. Don't F**king Use Them.

Hate-Filled Rantings of CNN
March 10, 2009 - 21:46 ET by TN MomCNN must really hate Republicans/GOP!
Last week they said the GOP "looked like Nazi Germany". Today, Cafferty lables us "right-wing nuts".
Meanwhile, Fox ratings are climbing!
Fair & Balanced beats the hate-filled rants of CNN!

So the phony curmudgeon
March 10, 2009 - 22:42 ET by fitzfongSo the phony curmudgeon calls me a nut...wait a minute. Did I drink a bunch of Appletinis, get in a car, run over a bicyclist, drag the bicycle under my car while running through a series of red lights in Midtown Manhattan? No? That was Jack Cafferty? So I'm supposed to lose sleep because this caricature calls me a nut? Pardon me if I'm underwhelmed.

There's this story about a fly and a cow
March 11, 2009 - 00:06 ET by nwahsThere's this old story about a fly and a cow. Well there may not be. I might be making it up, but I have a hunch I heard it a long time ago. I'm not sure, really, but here goes. If it was told, I'm probably messing it up. If it hasn't been told, I probably am not.
There is this fly that quite accidentally lands on the back of this cow, and the view is quite magnificent. The cow is quite accidentally, still at the moment, and perched on these strong shoulder blades, the fly feels quite powerful. He begins to sing an pontificate on the glories and the troubles of the world. The bushes are quite nice, but the trees are much too tall! And with this, the cow moves ( quite accidentally) .
Well the fly is startled and natural instinct lifts its left wing as the cow turns toward the right. The fly keeps its balance and , after a moment of relief, goes on singing and pontificating. And then suddenly and quite deliberately the cow bows its head to graze. In a frenzy, the fly flaps both wings and keeps its balance as the long strong neck falls toward the ground.
And so it goes with the fly pontificating as it learns the cow's movements. It lifts its left wing and right wing and flaps both wings and keeps its balance. And it sings and pontificates ever louder. The fly learns the cow so well, it anticipates every turn and head bob, and corrects for them without thinking.
And then something terrible happens. The fly begins to believe it is driving, it is controlling the cow. Its sort of a fly version of white line fever. "Go this way!" "Go that way!" "Bow your head!" it yells and if pontificates ever more loudly. The fly has deluded itself and has confused anticipation with control.
One day, the cow stops ( quite accidentally). The fly lifts its right wing. Nothing happens. The fly lifts it left wing. Nothing happens. The fly flaps both wings forcefully. Nothing. Well the pontification gets ever louder as the fly tries to regain control of the cow. It flaps as forcefully as possible and still nothing! The fly begins to stomp on the cows back, pontificating as loud as a fly can pontificate. And the cow's gaze is captured.
As the cows head turns to look at the fly, the fly is full of satisfaction. But it is short lived. From behind, the cow's tail squashes the fly.

my cow and fly story
March 11, 2009 - 00:29 ET by katainkentone morning a boy went to milk his parents cow. He noted a fly flying about. It finally landed in the cow's ear. When it didn't come out, he continued milking the cow. Some time later, he found the fly in the cow's milk.
You see, it went "in one ear and out the udder."

The big difference between Newt and Rush: Newt is poll driven and Rush is principle driven. Oh yes, Newt wishes he was half as influential as Rush. It will never happen. Jim Webster

Right Wing Nuts?
March 11, 2009 - 07:19 ET by GeneralAlDear Jack,
Thank you for your complimetary piece regarding us "Right Wing Nuts!" Its nice to know we're getting under your skin! Furthermore, its nice to know that you recognize an important fact. Unlike you pink lemonade panzies on the left, we are very manly. Calling us Nuts reminds us of the fact that we have a pair and are using them in standing up against you and your Commie buddies in the Commiecrat Troika [For those of you on the Commie loving left, Troika is a three headed animal whose name made the headlines in 1960. Your parents were probably smoking pot and plotting the overthrow of our country at the time!] in the government headed by Teleprompter Obamessiah, Nancy "Morticia" Pelosi, and Harry "Iraq is Lost" Reid! Anyway, Mr. Barack O'Cafferty, Go jump off a bridge to nowhere! I believe the best example is in the Stinkulous Bill!

No need to worry about this hack. His audience is too small to matter anyway. Seems he and his ilk suffer from extreme audience envy-he has a small one and Rush has a big one...

March 11, 2009 - 12:07 ET by jawebster1I can reply to a Liberal without reading the story. All that is necessary is to read the headline. Mr. Cafferty, I am a Conservative. I know to people like you that means I'm a right-winger and I know in your world, right-winger means nut. I am proud to be called a right-wing nut by you because that means that I am a Conservative and since I am retired, I am grateful to have the opportunity to listen to Rush Monday through Friday from 9AM to 12Noon PST. BTW, tell us about the size of your audience or lack of same. Liberals are too easy. Jim Webster
Cafferty and the rest of the libs

Teddy Kennedy, the Clintons, et all, is it any real surprize that the mascot of the democratic party is a jackass??? Take a close look, it's actually cafferty's profile....
