Rush Is Right about a BP Horizon Terror Attack (tags)
Rush Limbaugh, the superstar of right-wing talk radio, has always been quick to savage conspiracy theories. On Thursday though he revealed his own.
After the 2008 elections many in the Republican party went on the record stating the party needed to reach beyond it's traditional constituency and diversify. The new Chairman of the Republican National Committee said, "there was underlying concerns we had become too regionalized and the party needed to reach beyond our comfort" zones. Many discussed minorities and women as demographics they needed to bring in, but there has been a conspicuous lack of action regarding this. In some cases when they have talked it has seemed the opposite.

A Christian Persecution Complex (tags)
I'm most bothered by Limbaugh’s biased use of history. The fact is that our secularist fellow citizens have good reasons to worry about those of us who defend the "good old days" when our kind of belief system dominated public life.

God Damn the Pusher Man (tags)
Firstly, if Rush Limbaugh had had spinal surgery, wouldn't we all have heard about it? He'd have to be off work for an extended period of time to recuperate from a major operation. Spinal surgery would require a hospital stay of several days, at the least. Wouldn't he have wanted his dittoheads to stay informed, so they wouldn't fret when missing their daily fix of lies and bloviation? But lo and behold, no word. Ha! What a trooper, having such a major operation and not telling a soul about it so no one would pray for him, or send best wishes...

Rush didn't check into the nearest state penitentiary -- no, the $25 million man checked himself into rehab. While he may have known what was good for everyone else addicted to drugs, when it came to his own problem he sure didn't practice what he preached.
