To Astro Boy:

Remember that article in which you told me and all of talk.abortion that
Rush Limbaugh wasn't really serious? 

Well, out of the pages of New Dimensions Magazine (page 23, to be exact),
in their August 1992 issue, Rush Limbaugh had a statement for idiots like
you:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rush Limbaugh: Liberals who love the show say "I don't agree with anything
you say, but I know you're just teasing about that stuff anyway. You're an
entertainer. Hell, I've got to hand it to you, pal, you're good." Now, what
are they saying? They're saying they love the show, they listen to it, but
to justify listening to it, they have to tell themselves that I'm not
sincere, that I'm just a great entertainer hoodwinking a lot of people. But
if there is any hoodwinking going on, it's ME HOODWINKING THEM. Because if
they think that I'm insincere about my positions, that's fine. That disarms
them, so the more they think that I'm just enjoyable, lovable clown that
they like, the more I've disarmed them.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------


What can we say about that?

1) Rush Limbaugh is yet another nut who is being ignored by the people.
Pro-fetus zealots do not deserve coverage and do not receive it.

NOT. Rush Limbaugh commands between 7 and 11 million listeners, at any
given moment. He also wiped the LA airwaves with ultra-liberal Michael
Jackson's rear end, taking a listening audience of 267,000 people in the
initial wake of his arrival in LA, compared to Jackson's 220,000 - and
Jackson had a whopping TWENTY YEARS' HEAD START, Dan King. And Rush
Limbaugh is the gem of the pro-life crowd, and makes his pro-life views
very apparent so that no Rush Limbaugh fan may go uneducated about where
Rush stands on abortion.
Funny, how a "Pro-Fetus Zealot" can dominate the radio airwaves to the tune
of 7+ million listeners, and become the King of Talk Show Radio - a growing
industry which is far more democratic and people-oriented than the Sludge
that comes from Hollywood and the news media.


Most of all, Rush Limbaugh gives pro-lifers a fortress on the airwaves, to
take a stand against pro-abortionists. No more badmouthing by the Phil
Donahue's, Joan Rivers and so on, of the world - for once, they can hear
someone bash abortion, openly and frankly, for millions of people to hear.
For once, someone gets up and says abortion should be banned, and all the
pro-aborts' efforts to shut him up, fail miserably. He just scoffs at the
pro-aborts, calling them things that no media-fearing person would ever
say, making statements about feminists that could get a man shunned for
life. If the words "fight back" come to a pro-lifer's mind, Rush Limbaugh
is a clear definition of what "fight back" means. When the Gloria
Steinem's of this world get up and crazy, just look to Rush to provide
a counterattack. 

To me, while I don't agree with a lot of his stands, Rush is a source of
relief and re-energization against pro-aborts. His general dislike of
liberalism is kind of off-balance, but then again, only a raving lunatic
Eco-Kamikaze Jerry Brown fan on dope, listening to 100-Decibel, Speed
Metal music, could call Gloria Steinem or Molly Yard, balanced.

What makes me laugh the most, is that Rush Limbaugh has succeeded despite
the fact that when people take that Susan Garvin/Rocker attitude and scream
"Abortion is strictly a FEMALE issue!", he just tells them to shove that
b.s. where the sun don't shine, and he rolls relentlessly on, while the
Susan Garvin's and Rocker's of the world, continue to repeat that little
chant like so many broken music boxes.


Oh, and Dan King, are YOU that one they call Rita, the one who calls
Rush and tells him there's this big "mother plane" in space? Or are
you the pilot of that ship? (Captain Astro Boy.) 

For all of you who don't know about Rita: She's this lady from
Michigan who claims to be the fiancee' of Louis Farrakhan, and she has
told Rush Limbaugh that there is a "Mother Plane" waiting in space, to
destroy England and the US Armed Forces, and a ton of other very crazy
stuff. 

Sounds like Dan King, eh?
