Rush: dems to blame for hungry and freezing poor, old, children
Edited on Wed Dec-28-05 04:10 PM by bobbieinok
this was a spot announcement Mon on one of Tulsa's RW talk radio stations

Rush said 'we must remember the Americans who are suffering this season......dems eliminated $2 million, just took it away from the poor' (amt?....and my comment: as if this were anywhere near enought) b/c they led the defeat of ANWR drilling......this money was apparently in the same bill)

Rush obviously loved depicting repubs as caring and dems as super mean spirited

spelling edit

1. That line of oxy-thinking is lifted almost entirely
from carzy-assed Ted Stevens' rant on the Senate floor when the ANWR amendment died.

I think you can still see Stevens' bloviation at www.canofun.com Might also still be up in the A/V links at www.c-span.org

2. Rush is the biggest fucking idiot on the planet...
...and I'm not a mean spirited person, but I hope he dies, soon, painfully and alone. And once he's dead, I hope his body is butchered and his parts buried in five different locations with the remains of rabid dogs.

3. I don't want him to die...
...just take away his access to pain medications. He'll wish he were dead then.

8. You know the pukes will just hire
some other blowhard to be their mouthpiece. Laugh at him for being such a complete, personally worthless, brown-nosed suckup.

And may he die as you prescribe.

7. Republicans believe all U.S.poor
have flat screen, Tv's, air-conditioning...so this is a great admission that real poverty does exist in this country.

10. And yet every time Kerry tries to get more funding for LIHEAP
it gets shot down by the Republicans.

I think the poor know who their party is. They won't be fooled by the bullshit.

11. So why doesnt Rush help the poor, then?
I'm sure that $500,000 he made from "supporting the troops" could be donated to help the poor!

13. LMAO.. Gee what a suprise
I had no idea Rush and his ilk were going to say things like that after the bill was voted down. It's a damn shame that his audience is SO FUCKING STUPID that they can't see through this pathetic attempt to make liberals look like they hate the poor. After all, the right-wing is famous for supporting the "poor" or is that the "welfare queens" Rush is so fond of.... Moran

15. They're also to blame for Rush's nasty little drug habit
IF the evil Dems had exhibited the fortitude and moral compass to get tough on illicit drugs a long long time ago, the Satan-appointed dope pusher who provided ole Rush with his steady supply of thrill pills would have been thrown in the slammer before fatefully surfacing as the dreaded source of abominable temptation. Instead of incarceration, this evil money monger was systematically coddled and enabled to freely deliver cigar boxes full of shameful goodies to our dearly beloved guiding light. Shame on you Democrats!
