Rush Limbaugh and the Lord's Resistance Army

1. 0

   Sooner28posted 12 years ago

   As most people who are not living under a rock know, Joseph Kony, the leader of the Lord's Resistance Army, has been kidnapping children in Uganda in order to force them to be soldiers and sex slaves.  Then a documentary surfaced called "Invisible Children."  It moves the heart and emotions.
   
   In 2011, Rush Limbaugh actually defended this group when Obama sent the military to fight them.  He accused Obama of trying to "wipe out Christians." This, along with his constant race baiting (calling Obama an "angry black man") and sexism (calling Sandra Fluke a slut and all feminists "feminazis"), is sufficient justification for any companies who still advertise with him to pull out, and for the Armed Forces Network to show some courage and remove Limbaugh from their radio options.

      I listen to Limbaugh, often.... My reasoning is that he has a large following (they used to be called, "Dittoheads," remember?), and I'd like to keep current of the hate, untruths and extremism that this character espouses.  After all... best to "keep your enemies close."
      
      The man reminds me of a high school sophomore who gathers his friends around and spends time mimicing, taunting, and criticizing others in his/her school or town.  It's really slightly amusing... but is also disappointing... because SO MANY (listeners) believe that this guy actually has something worthwhile to say...

         I've tried to do that; once a year or so ago I sat down to actually watch an episode of Glenn Beck's show, and it was so farcical and straight up idiotic that I could not make myself sit still and continue watching and listening, it was painful. He literally didn't even say anything, just talked in circles leading up to "an idea" I'm sure he couldn't have even articulated if he'd had one. Then he brought on some random people who were proponents of isolationism, fundamentalist Christian doctrine, various liberal brainwashing conspiracy theories and other degenerate forms of ignorant fear mongering.
         
         I don't think freedom of speech should be stifled even when it's as outrageous and dangerous as this, but Limbaugh needs to be sued for libel, abandoned by his sponsors and publicly ostracised for what he said if nothing else. He's a sick, misogynistic pervert and generally a horrible person. Always has been. It's very troubling to know that so many people agree with him and these other hateful talking heads.

   Rush is bankrolled by the 1% and the corporate entities because he is seen as the mouthpiece to persuade the'man in the street" to ally with those that do not have their interests at heart, that is Rush's mission and the reason why he gets paid the big bucks.
   
   But in recent days, it is obvious that he has outlived his usefulness on the air, his bombast has gone to far. The GOP recognizes that he has sullied the brand, perhaps beyond repair before November. Rush, he won't go quietly, he is already attacking the myriad of sponsors that do not want their brand associated with his idiocy.

      So why are your panties in a bunch because some guy on the radio called some broad a slut? Ms. Fluke opened herself up to the assault. I'm surprised Maher, SNL, Letterman, or Stewart didn't do a skit, but then again the woman is a liberal so she gets a pass. These people like Maher called Palin the "C" word and it is not cute, but none of you sanctimonious self righteous hypocrits point that out. You don't point out that Maher called Laura Ingraham a whore.
      
      What apparently people like you object to is someone with a particular view that is relentless and confident in expressing his/her opinion. Fluke has had her 15 minutes thanks to Limbaugh, and she will probably make a career of this. Only in America could she become a millionaire complaining about the taxpayer not paying her to have sex.

No. It is the responsibility of conservatives to police the right in its excesses, just as the liberals unfailingly fail to police the excesses in their own side.

          Strange you would equate two comedians, one that did go over the line with Palin, and another that simply shows the lack of logic in almost anything conservative, as examples of some kind of vast, racist, sexist liberal echo chamber that does not even exist.  Stewart has had a cornucopia of conservatives on his show, including neocons such as Bill Kristol, and current GOP president candidate Newt Gingrich.  He also uses facts, something which the right seems to no longer think exist outside of Fixed News.  You cannot even equate the two at all.
          
          When Ed Schultz called Laura Ingram a "right-wing slut" I didn't defend him at all.  It was wrong; but Schultz also doesn't have a history of racist and sexist comments.  He also apologized right the first time.
          
          Again I ask, WHY you are defending the indefensible, and doing a poor job of it too?  It adds NOTHING to your point to say "other people do it too!"   It's a simple logical fallacy known as tu quoque, which attempts to deflect criticism by saying another person is performing the action also.  If I tell you not to cheat on your spouse, and I am cheating on my spouse, it does not change the fact that you SHOULDN'T CHEAT ON YOUR SPOUSE.  Just because I am a hypocrite, it does not follow you can suddenly claim that it is moral to cheat on your spouse.  You are distracting from Limbaugh's incendiary comments.  Stay on topic.  Say Limbaugh was wrong for what he said about Sandra Fluke.  If you choose not to, well, the rest of the readers can see your position clearly.

    Sooner28 I am with you on this one. A long time ago I watched his t.v. show & soon tired of the strange turns his views took. If he thinks President Obama is an angry black man, he has not seen much in his sheltered multi-millionaire life. Of course he would support blacks killing blacks so defending Kony's LA and calling them Christians doesn't surprise me. Much of what he spews is vile. He likes race baiting and misogyny and likely won't stop. I'm glad some of his sponsors pulled out but he now blames them to his listeners by saying "they don't want your business anymore" and "I made them a lot of money."

       It's all about the level of personal attacks he has engaged in.  He can call Obama a socialist marxist atheist all he wants.  Or he could call Obama a weak leader that doesn't know how to deal with foreign enemies.  It annoys me, but it doesn't reach the level where I would actively want his sponsors to pull out in an organized campaign.  Free speech allows me to use him as an example of irrational thinking! 
       
       But his level of vitriol against Obama and women is beyond ridiculous.  We can vote with our money, deciding where we want to shop.  Sponsors should take note of that fact.

       I'm disappointed to see this obviously-doctored caricature of Limbaugh... since it takes away from any serious discussion of the idjit, Limbaugh...
       
       Many have heard me describe Limbaugh's dialogue as simply "Sophomoric"... meaning the immature and child-like rantings of a High School sophomore.  If we stick just to the man's words, then we will continue to see him (and his opinions) as unworthy of much credence.....  It's sad, indeed, that he has an audience of as many as 12-14 million who actually believe he has something to say... to add to the political dialogue.... and, therefore, hang on his every word....

          Gee, I would think an "Engineer and pre-eminent thinker" would be able to comprehend satire.  Limbaugh isn't worthy of "serious" discussion — ridicule is more effective when it comes to clowns and mountebanks.

EXCEPT that I think that this string is sufficiently droll that, by posting the pic, you allowed people to believe that we (you and I seem to be in-agreement, here) are willing to be as childish as the one we chide for that behaviour...

                Well Ackman, I wondered two things after rereading your posts.  1. How much time you took to peruse the image and 2. if the significance of the image went over your head.  I have no way to know, of course, but I suspect the answers are: 1. Not much and 2., yes.
                
                The photo-toon is inspired by art history and it's a classic Bacchanalian pose.  Bacchus, you may recall (or may not, seeing as to you being and engineer and not likely to be trained in the classics) was the Roman god of wine and was associated with sloth and debauchery. 
                
                Who better to use on an Oxicotin-addicted, four-wifed, lazy bully who slandered a defenseless young college kid?
                
                I'm fine with free speech and willing to defend it, but when it's harsh abuse by a hypocrite—well it get's me angry and I like to vent my indignation in a positive and (I think) creative way. 
                
                Words don't do it for me—images do!
                
                You may think it's "childish," but you try and learn Photoshop and then create an image that will fly around the internet and evoke Limbaugh's  evil with humor and derision in an instant. 
                
                Incidentally, my favorite part of that image is the logo that says: "Excellence In Demagoguery."

       I agree with you, that we have to let everyone - even idiots - have their say.  I listen to Limbaugh because he is a widely-listened-to character... and I like to have his diatribes "in my pocket" so that I might react to "others" ... who claim to "follow" him... but who, obviously, aren't listening to him... OR, have "hearing problems" wherein they are skewing even what he sez in order to advance some opinion.....

       Freedom of Speech isn't quite that simple.  Yes, you have the right to state your opinion... but when you step over the line into slander/libel/defamation of character then you can be legal responsible for your actions.
       
       In addition, freedom of speech doesn't mean their are no consequences for your actions.  His sponsors were completely within their rights to pull their accounts and the station would also be within their rights to fire him.
       
       The only thing that freedom of speech protects you against is government persecution.  And even that has limits.

       I would agree that this is so.  Private decisions by individuals to express their outrage at the corporations supporting Limbaugh, and the corporations making the business decision to remove their advertisers from his show.

    Sooner28 I was wondering who would tackle the Kony phenomena. I am so glad it was you that took a "stab" at getting the information out here. As always you are so direct in your writing and comments it is like taking a political upper-cut at times. Not once has a Hub or comment left by you not left me thinking and at times emotionally engaged. Ty you for once again hitting us in the chin with some of the facts.

       Thank you very much Laura.  My main goal is to get people to reflect on something I find troubling in society.  They don't even necessarily have to agree with me, just that they think about the issue more than they otherwise would.
