I have managed to discover the one man (let's be as un-pc as possible) in the
media who is actually worth dedicating time and intellectual consideration to.
This man is:  Rush Limbaugh.  He is the reason why I use that AM tuner I
didn't even realize my radio tuner had. (and gave me a chance to use the neat
call-letter presets.)  Anyway, he is one of the only great conservatives on the
airwaves left since Pat Buchanan left Crossfire.  I think I'll buy his book.
Today he asked Clinton supporters to call in and give them a reason, other than
"change," as to why they would want to vote for the wrong person.  One person
called in, and said "Because I know Bill Clinton would keep us out of war,
just like he kept himself out of Vietnam.  He represents the 60's generation."
This freak was actually proud of that fact.  Anyone who is unwilling to fight
for what they believe in should fuck off and leave!  That guy probably doesn't
believe in anything, and that's why he supports Bill Clinton.  No doubt 
that the 60's generation were great musicians, but I don't think we
need stoners in the White House.  He said he would never fight for his country
for any reason at all, and Bill Clinton is the same way.  He said Clinton
would never deploy the military for confrontations of any kind, and he's
probably right on that.  And to say that Clinton-supporting hecklers followed
Bush around wearing chicken outfits!  Hell, they didn't even have to dress up!
I'm sorry if I offend anyone, but I have to put these thoughts to keyboard, 
before my anger and frustration at the stupidity of the American population 
causes me to explode.  Just think of how stupid the average person is, and 
realize that half the people are below that.  It's no surprise that the media 
claims that 50% of the people thought Al Gore won the vice-presidential debate.
I'm pissed at this election.  I'm pissed at the media for not
giving Dan Quayle the recognition he deserves for winning the debate. Damn
liberal bastards!  Damn them all to hell!

I agree.  I call myself an anti-fan.  I am an avid listener but I consider myself
a watchdog more than a fan.  I disagree with virtually everything he says except
for some of the stuff regarding PC and feminism.  On those two counts I agree with
much of what he says, however I think he is going about it in the wrong way.

I'll pickup a copy of his book in the used bookstores next year.  I'm sure there
will be tons of copies available there.  It always happens with "fad" bestsellers.
People don't want them contaminating their libraries at home, you know.

After private discussion with a few prominent participants in this newsgroup
I have been trying to privately moderate the number of crossposts to this
group in particular and to a.r-l not in particular since it gets about 50%
more posts per day than a.f.r-l.  I have been sending out the following 
form letter:

**********************************************************************************
Form-letter:
 
Can you please refrain from cross-posting articles like this to 
alt.fan.rush-limbaugh and alt.rush-limbaugh?  These two groups
are now getting so many off-topic postings that his fans and
anti-fans have ceased participating.

If you feel you must post it to a r-l group could you only post it
to alt.rush-limbaugh and refrain from posting it to alt.fan.r-l?

Firstrun articles are fine but Re: replies don't add much to these
groups if they are off-topic.

Thank you.  Comments and flames to msako@lsil.com

***********************************************************************************

and have received a few responses, mostly in defense but after an explanation
on my part the poster usually agreed with the intent of the form letter.  I
know many people here (including me) have cutback or ceased participation
altogether because of the excessive number of off-topic posts.

If the true fans here would unite and help to rid this group of the crossposting
I think it could get back to what it used to be before alt.politics.bush and
alt.politics.clinton which seem to be the principal groups that the crossposts
eminate from.

Or make them starve to death because somebody's uncle in now a Brahman bull
and we couldn't let him starve (after all it's their "fault" that they haven't
"evolved" to a higher plain of life).  You get peace quicker that way -
they're to weak to fight.  Oh, but wait, then again there's the "social
democracy" (aka, socialism) of that "logical" standby humanism, so maybe we
should just devide that cracker between all of us.

borrow from your word play at the same time.

I seriously doubt that you have incontrovertable proof that God doesn't
exist; therefore, you cannot call yourself an Atheist, according to the
definition of "atheism."

Furthermore, I testify that the only way lasting Peace may be achieved is
by knowing the true character of God.

Well, Clinton was, and still is, quite interested in international
affairs. If I had that same interest (which I do), I would have
jumped at the chance to go to Moscow.

For those people who ask why he went to Moscow in the dead of winter,
there's a wonderfully simple answer: low rates! Bill Clinton, unlike
George Bush's old money, comes from a poor family. It's like 
vacationing in Miami Beach in January. It may not be as nice as
other times of the year, but its cheap. 

Just as an example of another group that visited Moscow at the 
same time as Clinton (from the Oct. 9 Washington Post): a group
from a Washington, DC areas high school visited Moscow during
the time. Are they KGB pawns!?

Yes, maybe he was _approached_ by the KGB. I'm sure most 
foreign visitors to the Soviet Unions during the time were.
But that in no way makes him a Soviet stooge.

	Well, she started speaking for free, and then (much to Rush's glee)
she started getting about $10K per engagement. What Rush never mentioned
is that, at least in the beginning, all the money was going to charity (I
don't know if that is still the case).

	I don't believe that Anita Hill got into this for the bucks, she
just doesn't seem that cynical to me. Rush, of course, is cynical enough
to spread the idea, and Rushs fans are cynical enough to belive it, but
I really hope that the rest of us arn't that shallow.

	I don't know about the "unread" remark, but Today, Rush and his 
listeners really did piss and moan about Bill Clinton, the man who, in 
less than three weeks, will be elected President of the United States.

	They will probably do it again tommarrow, too. This summery isn't
as detailed as some, but it seems accurate enough. 

	Besides, I'm sure that there are only 12-15 Rush listeners who are
really brain dead sacks who haven't read 15 books in their lifetimes. He's
certainly not referring to any large group of people, or anything.

Last night I was listening to Tom Snyder - while discussing the weight

Look at Uncle Rush!  They should just paint "FUJI" on his side and roll
him out at football games.


This gave me a few ideas for nicknames for RL;

Rush Blimpbaugh
The Goodyear Rush
The EIB network - Ego in Bulk!  or perhaps,  Ego in Blubber


Normally I do not condome mean spirited humor directed ad hominim. (I can
hear a chorus of "YES YOU DO!").  However, since Rush revels and makes money
at that sort of thing, I have allowed myself this "pleasure" in this forum
with regard to rush fans, and think it would only be appropriate if we were 
to return the favor to rush himelf.

After all,  he claims that it isn't appropriate for people to get upset
at such jokes.  Shows they have no sense of humor, right?
