    I love the fact that you guys hate Rush so much.
    I love the fact that liberals in general hate the fact that they cannot control talk radio.
    I love the fact that you guys spend hours researching this shit and I spend two minutes laughing at you.

    But they don't often like to: 1) be imaginative or speculative, and in that vein 2) take risks. Also, I find them to sometimes be ill-tempered, overly confident, or sometimes unintelligent or gullible.

    All very valid points. I identified those as shortcomings and continue to stuggle with exactly the items you mentioned- except the uintelginet part. Seriously, you have obviously spent some time thinking about this and observing.

    My first instinct is to note that you just spent the better part of two hours coming up with a tidbit that while slightly misspoke is certainly not wildly wrong. Then I thought that certainly wouldn't be fair to someone who is obviously passionate about Rush.

    First, while I would agree that when the cited DOE report was filed the majority of France's oil did not indeed come from Iraq but Saudi Arabia, the amount of oil France imports from Iraq is stunning:

    During the month of November 2002 France imported 0.223 million barrels from Iraq and only 0.106 million barrels from Saudi Arabia.

    During the year of 2002 France imported 0.953 m bbl compared to 2.910 m bbl from Saudi Arabia.

    It appears that while Rush is in error about the main source of France oil, their imports from Iraq FAR exceed those of any other country except Saudi Arabia. In fact, France imports enough oil from Iraq to render their reasons for opposing war suspect, which is the point Mr. Limbaugh was trying to make with hyperbole typical of all pundits.

    All figures http://www.eia.doe.gov/ipm/imports.html

    So, if 99% of what Rush says is correct and he is not too damn far off in the one case you spent two hours tracking down, I am willing to give him a wary pass on this one. Certainly doesn't compare to the outright lies coming from the left.

    You are sadly misinformed, projecting your desires as if they are the truth.

    The fact is that the military is well-educated and businesses love us former military types. Pieces of shit like you get pushed aside as the hiring manager wants someone who can think for themselves and WHO THEY CAN COUNT ON, not some slacker who is full of himself, bathes every week, and wanders in to work on occasion.

    I loved applying for jobs knowing that I had the advantage and watched as the degreed losers like you got to continue their job search while I got a letter offering me more money than I really wanted- all because of four letters on my resume. I'll see if you are smart enough to figure them out.

    Also, please tell me just how you know that the "best and brightest" avoided military service? Care to back up that assertion with facts?

    Me and my fellow ex-military peers have and will continue to leave pukes like you whining behind us as we advance up the ladder while you console yourself with the idea that you are better than someone because you are too chickenshit to defend your freedoms.

    You and I can sit here and debate the veracity of this down to the level of silliness.

    Here, I found a website that questions FAIR:
    UnFAIR FAIR

    That cancels your reference.

    Rush's numbers speak to the level of trust that people place in him, validating his truthfulness. You don't have to like that, and I am quite sure that you consider everyone who disagrees with you a sheep. The fact remains that people love Rush 'cause he is honest. BTW, I don't listen to Rush.

    How does Rush do it?

    He does it by not trying to bullshit people into believing things that just aren't true. He would never use vague, propaganda lines like "George Bush kills something like 100 people..", knowing that it is facetious and misleading.

    People enjoy honesty and facts that can be verified not innuendo and slogans not based on truth.

    Cold comfort to those whose careers have been ruined by campus "hate speech" rules because they thought that academic freedom applied to everyone, regardless of their beliefs.
