Love the Taibblog. Read:
Why anyone with half a brain would believe, much less listen to what that blathering incoherent fathead rants is beyond me.
Rush doesn't possess the mental process to rationalize his own meaningless existence, much less be able to comprehend the world outside the plastic hamster ball he calls a life.
That speaks volumes about the fools who take his verbal horse manure as gospel.
He makes money, likes football, and likes cigars. He gives his audience a common foe, someone to hate, someone they can feel superior to. He "wins" arguments on the phone (where he can freely cut the mic). He's always right, just ask him. He's the rich, entitled, drinking buddy his listeners will never have.
I was trying to be serious and funny at the same time. :) You got the serious, but don't tell me I failed to be funny.
Apparently, I failed on the gallows-humor myself.
Someone. Laugh.
...please? =)
Great read Rush needs to stay and home and continue using his pain killers. Why didn't he go to jail for that??? The liberal media should have chewed him up and spit him out? He is such an ass. Sorry conservatives but he is.
Rush was in a tv rountable discussion in his early days. He described his work as entertainment, but that was before the dittoheads.
... they're freaking out because the people at the top know that we can do this:
Informed Direct Democracy, the process by which the average well informed real public opinion is brought to the attention of all, directly, is now obviously made possible by the internet. Just as we have secure online banking, shopping, chat, forums, libraries, dictionaries, and many other types of large online services and gathering places of opinions and facts, we can have direct voting on ISSUES that affect everyone, accompanied by direct FACTUAL open sourced information available to all so we can KNOW what the issues are and how the issues affect people. The idea that most people are incapable of making direct decisions in their communities, governments, and international affairs because of lack of abilities, information, and lack of a practical method, is no longer tolerable. Most people on Earth, are perfectly capable of making sound decisions about any political, environmental, social issue, IF the people are provided with factual free open sourced information about the issues. Most people have enough common sense and reasoning abilities to understand and reach very reasonable solutions to all the issues we, the people of Earth, face today on local levels as well as global levels. Having poor education, as the 1% have turned our public education system into their consumer-worker brainwashing, is not the same as being stupid; and being trusting, as most people are, is not the same as being gullible, and is a virtue, not a weakness to be exploited by the greedy 1%. Most people should trust each other to share control over society together, not give up our liberties to a system of greed made by the 1% that's causing famine, wars financial desperation, poor education, and the destruction of our planet, all for MORE PROFIT FOR THE 1%. The internet already offers EVERYTHING that is needed to have Informed Direct Democratic voting on issues everywhere. All that is needed is for people to organize a system. This system should be started by the 99% Occupy International Movement right NOW, while there is still time. In a few short years, the PEOPLE OF EARTH could be voting on local politics and local issues, and on issues that affect their country, and global issues that affect everyone. Let's not allow the 1% to make us out to be a petty and shallow and selfish and cowardly poor VS rich movement. It's not about taking down rich people, it's about taking down GREED itself; most rich people have the same capacity for being reasonable as most poor people do. A real economic recovery is not accomplished by restoring the health of the financial institutions, because they measure their recovery in profit; we need to eliminate GREED from the financial system, because too-big-to-fail corporations reporting record profits does not equal healthy fair economy. The people can come up with MUCH better solutions together online NOW! It's time to stop handing over our control and trusting our representatives to make policies that reflect the will of the people, which they never do. We now have a system of greed running all governments and societies on Earth. Having the ability to vote AND BE INFORMED WITH THE FACTS about the issues directly as a people can FORCE our corrupt and greedy leaders to make the will of the people a reality. After all, in a Democratic society, the government's job is simply to administrate the process by which the will of the people is formulated into a body of laws and policies, which MOST people agree with, and then protect the peoples' rights to have such a Democracy. The government is sort of the secretary and the bodyguard of the people, not the authority for the people to be forced to follow even when most people disagree with its policies and decisions. In a true Democracy, the PEOPLE are the authority of the government. MOST PEOPLE ARE REASONABLE, give most people the power of direct voting on issues, and we will have very REASONABLE policies, everywhere. Remember, the key is the FREE OPEN SOURCED INFORMATION (kind of like wikipedia) accompanying the voting sites on the internet. So when reporters come to ask protesters on the streets what we are protesting for, what do we want, what are your demands (as if we were robbing a bank or something) we can say: "WE THE PEOPLE OF EARTH DEMAND DIRECT INFORMED DEMOCRACY ENABLED BY OUR CURRENT COMMUNICATIONS TECHNOLOGY, WE DEMAND VOTING ON ISSUES THAT AFFECT PEOPLE DIRECTLY THROUGH THE INTERNET AND WE DEMAND THAT WE HAVE AN OFFICIAL OPEN SOURCED ONLINE LIBRARY OF FACTS ABOUT ALL THE ISSUES WE ARE VOTING FOR."
Know your enemies comes to mind. That being said though, he really just makes fun of OWS because it is a movement without cause. OWS makes it very easy for anyone to make fun of them because all they do is stand there with signs. No demands, no goals...just standing around. Maybe if the group showed initiative and focus, it wouldn't fuel the oppositions fire. Everyone should go home, take showers and then come back looking presentable. At that point, a list of demands should be formulated and a model of growth started.
I wouldn't know what he makes fun of, I don't listen to him but according to Taibbi, he's blowing a gasket not laughing about it.
I drive quite a bit and listen to him often. Mostly, he just talks about how pointless the movement is and how people are making fools of themselves. It's hard to argue his points though when there are no goals and people are crapping in the streets.
And you know this is what's going on because Rush told you.
Please, spare me the scat fetishism it makes me want to puke. Thanks.
Uhm it was pretty well documented from all sides genius. It's people like you that will ruin this movement. God forbid someone has a discussion on here. If you would open your eyes and read a bit you stupid loser, you would see that I'm mostly supportive of the movement.
I've been there, I didn't see what you describe.
Your personal insults are pathetic & I have no desire to look up all your posts.
Ciao, baby.,
Then STFU all knowing. If you don't have something constructive to say then leave people alone.
Drugrush and his brain dead following aren't even worth bothering with.
