"Brownshark,
You keep bringing up Rush Limbaugh and how I repeat his false information. I have only said one thing that he has touched on, and I happen to agree with it. Neither party is going to pull the plug on Iraq. They simply use the issue to score political points with their voters. The fact of the matter is you have no idea of what my position on Iraq is because I haven't stated one. Why should I state one when it has nothing to do with this thread. It was meant only to illustrate how the how the two sides play us. Very similar to how the Teamsters and UPS play us. Yet you continue to prove my point by focusing on beating what you percieve to be the other side and not focusing on how your own uses the same methods to decieve you the ones that supposedly support you and and the rest. Your anti-war arguments are as weak or weaker than the popular pro-war arguments are. " (end quote)
One of the problems with Rush Limbaugh listeners is that they dont even know when they have been brainwashed. His exclusive use of simple brainwashing techniques is classic. He merely repeats himself over and over and over each and everyday, month after month, year after year, and then the listener get captivated by his passion and staunch defense of the good Americans.
He uses "cliche" identifiers over and over that he invents (ie: drive by media, libs, liberal media) until his listening audience starts to use the terms themselves.
Once his listeners lock into the dialog and montra, they parade around with the wealth of knowledge garnered from a thriced (3) divorced convicted drug addict who also frequents high dollar prostitutes in the Bahamas.
Loaded with this knowledge, they engage those with with a disenting opinion other than Rushes unitl they are shut down like a brothel in a vietnamese massage parlor.
It was you that brought up the Iraq war, not I. I only challenged you to expound upon it with some facts that you could back up. I am prepared to do the same.
If it was an analogy you were looking for, then you chose incorrectly.
While i do have an anti-war position, and this based solely upon RESEARCH and not upon some narcisistic blowhard who calls himself an "entertainer" and NOT a Journalist when caught in a lie.
I am ready to match wits with
anyone who would like to step up and debate this war.
A little advice for you Char. Research NAZI propaganda during WWII, look at the tactics used by the Germans. I'd like you to understand one thing about Rush, he uses the same tactics as the NAZI's.
Here is a quote from Hermann Goering during his trial at nuremburg for war crimes against humanity:
"“
Naturally the common people don't want war; neither in Russia, nor in England, nor in America, nor in Germany. That is understood. But after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country.”
You see, Char, this is happening today, the "alarmists" (The Bush administration, Bill Orielly, Sean Hannity & Rush Limbaugh and even that psyco b*tch Ann Coulture) constantly attack the patriotism of Americans they consider pacifists.
By attacking these Americans, they convince others to follow the lead and let them do whatever they want in defense of the country.
The Germans did the same in WWII. They had their own versions of Rush and Hannity on the air everyday until they convinced a country, a nation to hate the jews.
It took repetition and years to do it, but they were successful.
Indeed, they convinced a nation to fight a global war, a global war where everyone was the enemy except the NAZI's.
By using "alarmists" on the radio, they kept the message in the face of the german people day in and day out until they themselves repeated the same ideology.
No different today. Patriotism is constantly under attack here, they use cute sayings like: "freedon isnt free", or "better to fight them there than fight them here", etc etc..
Unfortunately for those who attack citizens who are anti-war, Andrew Jackson said it best: "Dissent is the purest form of democracy"
Teddy Roosevelt also said: "any citizen who blindly follows the president and never questions his decisions is morally treasonable to his country"
I prefer to be an independent thinker who uses the knowledge of research rather than repeating some mis-information from a "paid" propagandist hired to convince a nation that they are in jeopardy of being harmed.
Rush speaks to his listening audience as if he is one of the guys, one who takes a sack lunch to work and hits a timeclock. He calls democrats "elitetists" who love the extravagance of money, yet he earns a salary of $149.000.000 yearly for his radio show and belongs to the most exclusive clubs in the world, including the Bohemian Grove where he confirms he is always a guest.
The Bohemian Grove is a secret club for exclusively rich republicans and has ties to the occult.
Although Rush claims to be the average Conservative American, his three divorces hardly makes him a conservative.
In addition, his racist tendancies show themselves in his skits and parodies. This caters to his redneck audiences who love this humour despite its bad taste.
So Char, give your brain a break, Rush comes through in almost every sentence your write, thats why I picked up on it so quickly.
You want to make war references, then I will respond in kind.
Dont make yourself sound foolish on this war. Theres plenty of people doing that already.
Peace
To Brown Shark I would love to shake your hand. I say every day, this country is run by B, B, & B. (Bush, Bush, & Bin Laden.) and were going down. I have grandchildren, and I worry for what is in store for then. They will never know THE FREEDOM. And I hate to say it but all your gold won't save you, Char, and neither will WalMart....
