I can't help but to admire just how brilliant this ad is!  Seriously.  In hindsight it is rather humorous that the straw that broke our (the colonies) camel's back was a tax on tea!  I think this was a smart ad.  Would I vote for the guy?  Uh, who knows.  I've never voted or not voted for a person based on their position on one individual issue.  Like all other political ads, it's just a soundbite, not anything of real substance.

Rush is, and always has been, a comedian. He will say whatever outrageous statement he can to keep his audience and rake in the green. But the dittoheads believe him, and that's what's scary.

The problem with Rush is that he doesn't make it clear if he is serious or joking.  Unlike some commentators, he does not issue frequent disclaimers saying that his show is "for entertainment purposes only", or use any of the tools that professional comedians use to let the audience know that it's humor.  I believe that, just like the Fox "News" Channel, which only issued a single disclaimer that, despite the misleading name, that they were in fact an "entertainment channel", that Rush is trying to deceive as many people as possible.

For a caught-red-handed drug addict, I have not seen any effort more than what was necessary to keep his fat ass out of prison, when it comes to recovery.

Unless and until Rush gets serious about working on his drug addiction, he simply cannot be trusted.  Therefore it's obviously a big problem when lots of people trust him.  I believe in personal liberty, so if Rush wants to slip into insanity, I say that's his prerogative.  But he has zero right (and should not be given the privilege) to let his insanity hurt innocent people.

Kurt, please do not try to defend what Rush says about this, joking or not, context or not, this is just plain asinine.  I do not take Rush seriously, the problem is he has a lot of listeners that do. I do not try to justify Al Gore's mansions, please do not try to justify these remarks.

Yes, having heard the words and the tone, yes he was kidding about the rig being blown up on purpose, at least that is my personal conclusion.  It is a big stretch from his actual words to what the headline states.  The headline represents the words as an actual quote.

Yes, oil oozes from the floor of the ocean all over the globe, naturally.  And the ocean does deal with it.  Another fact.

This however is a man caused disaster, and requires rapid intervention.  It is fair to note that it took BHO 12 days to show up and check out the disaster first hand.  Pretty casual response to what is going to no doubt be one of the greatest ecological disasters of the 21st Century.  Any fifth grader figured that out by day 3 when the well was found to still be leaking. 

One could say that Limbaugh's remark mirrors the casuality of BHO's response.

I don't take Limbaugh very seriously, but I do listen and he does make sense now and then.

It makes me jibber, too, I guess.

So, Kurt, Rush was "jus' kiddin'"?  Seems to me it's just more mean-ness veiled behind sarcasm.  I used to spend a lot of time listening to Rush, and "kiddin'" is not something the man can pull off without ulterior motive.

Was he kiddin' here, too?

"You do survive these things. I'm not advocating don't care about it hitting the shore or coast and whatever you can do to keep it out of there is fine and dandy, but the ocean will take care of this on its own if it was left alone and was left out there," Limbaugh said. "It's natural. It's as natural as the ocean water is."

I mean, all kidding aside, that kind of attitude is Just Plain Stupid

OK, I listen to Rush occasionally and did in fact hear the quote aired live last Thursday.

So, since they're sending SWAT teams down there, folks, since they're sending SWAT teams to inspect the other rigs, what better way to head off more oil drilling, nuclear plants, than by blowing up a rig? I'm just noting the timing here.

It was said with tongue in cheek.  Very different than what the headline implies.  As usual, another over reaction to a smart ass remark by Limbaugh.  He says things knowing he will be misconstued and misquoted.  There is a whole industry devoted to listening and twisting his words.  As usual, context matters.  People take this guy much too seriously.  But on the other hand, some people still believe that the New York Times is a credible newspaper, so go figure.
