	Misogyny again. Picking on her because she has decided to
adopt the skinhead look. I'm not sure that RL would enjoy jokes about
his bulk. It's the Golden Rule -- treat others the way that you would
like to be treated.

However, he does want to mention two

	The Pope == MLK Jr.? Not everybody would make that equation.

	Somehow, I suspect that if RL was shown a lot of Jesus
Christ's teachings (or at least those attributed to him by his
biographers), he would sneer that JC was a *liberal*. Examples:

	JC: Sell everything you have and give your money to the poor.
	JC: A camel (or thick rope) will go through the eye of a
needle easier than a rich man will make it into the Kingdom of Heaven.

	RL: That guy _hates_ successful people. Just like a typical
liberal -- wants everybody poor.

	JC: Don't try to accumulate wealth here on Earth; it rusts and
decays and gets stolen. Look at the lilies in the field; they don't
work their butts off.

	RL: I can tell he's a liberal. He hates hard work and prefers
living off of handouts.

	JC: Love your enemies, turn the other cheek, let a thief who
wants your coat to have your shirt, if a soldier makes a beast of
burden out of you, let him do it some more, etc. etc.

	RL: Exactly how those liberals want us to treat criminals and
Commies. Who is this nutcase?

	JC: When you pray, don't go out in public and use long and
meaningless words like those pagans and hypocrites do. Just pray in
private. And when you fast, don't put on a sad face for all to see.

	RL: We must _hide_ our faith away? Just like those liberals,
who oppose prayer in schools.

	JC: If you look at a woman with lust, you are guilty of
adultery in your heart.

	RL: Is this like sexual harrassment? Just another
demonstration of how the liberals and the feminazis want to deprive
men of their virility.

	JC: There are eunuchs who have made themselves eunuchs for the
sake of the Kingdom of Heaven.

	RL: See?

	JC: If you call your brother a worthless fool, you will be in
danger of the fire of Hell.

	RL: So I have no right to call the liberals and econuts and
feminazis what they really are? He must be some liberal big on
Political Correctness.

	An opponent made of straw for him to knock down.

	I've never heard of _anyone_ who advocates abortions for the
hell of it.

	But given the tone of his remarks, you would get the
impression that "feminazis" are everywhere.

	It is true that there are certain feminists who are rather
extreme in their opinions, but "feminazi" is uncalled for.

	It's like repeatedly denouncing "shylock bankers", but then
stating that this refers only to the small minority of Jewish bankers
who are nothing better than loansharks.

>As to what a feminist is, Rush doesn't define the term himself.
>Instead he lets the media define it by who they present as

	Conveniently evasive.

	Is there any mainstream feminist that he has _ever_ had any
appreciation for? Gloria Steinem? Betty Friedan? Susie Bright?
