Rush Limbaugh Exposes the Weakness of the Democratic Leadership

[patrioticintellect]

Out of the cesspool of politicians Americans have to deal with in Congress, there is Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid. Today, Sen. Reid chose to prolong and amplify a debacle between Rush Limbaugh and a select group of people from the anti-war movement by making juvenile remarks on the floor of the Senate. In doing so, Sen. Reid lowered himself to the level of Rush Limbaugh, and in front of all of his constituents, he has jeopardized his integrity and career. Moreover, he has wasted time that could have been used to work towards bringing the troops home now.

1. Wasn't most of DU demanding that he do so?

Must be damned if you do and damned if you don't. If you don't go after Rush and the Republican hypocrisy machine, you're a spineless Dem. If you do, you're accused of wasting time.

Amazing.

2. Going after Rush is fine. Abusing the people's time to do it, not so fine.

There's a simple reason. Rush can lie better, he can get absurd better, you can't win against that by trying to demonstrate his absurdity by dragging the Senate down to his level.

4. Don't kid yourself. If Reid hadn't done anything, DUers would be asking for his head.

5. Like I care.

I'm me, not "DU'ers". Especially on a day like this and for an issue like this.

[TwilightZone]

7. Hmm, it would seem that I said DUers, not you personally.

Speaking of wasting time....

[Kagemusha]

8. I would not have been calling for his head, personally, no.

In case there was any doubt, I would not have, because I know better - this is a complete waste of time, and it would be had it been a Republican effort to denounce Keith Olbermann or Jon Stewart, too.

3. Huh.

Reid could never lower himself that far down the sewage pit Rush Limbaugh inhabits. He's a festering ass boil on America.

6. What is this crap? nt

[patrioticintellect]

9. I'm delighting in the response. This is what I expected from DU.

10. Intellect requires one to realize Limbaugh trashed troops in harms way

three of which have died. If Reid was going to follow through with the bullshit partisan bill on "denigrating" troops that went through last week he had to take Limbaugh to task. What he said was the most disgusting thing that could be said about a person in uniform.

Fuck limbaugh and his anti-american rants. he can go back to bed with Stalin and the rest of the authoritarians.

11. Wait a minute------- where was the writer of this article

when Coryn from Texas introduced the resolution to condemn Move ON. Is it OK to bash a democratic organization, but not be able to set the record straight on a right wing nut job. One who spews crap and vile on a daily basis.

13. Condemning MoveOn ----And FYI I wrote this article

Let's rationally and logically discuss this and not reduce the conversation to mindless blather. That's a caution. Nobody here yet has done that. Entirely.
