		<description>&lt;i&gt;In fact, it usually means that you gotta dig into the context of the remark to get the truth...&lt;/i&gt;

What is it about this elusive &quot;context&quot; that would magically make Limbaugh bullshit automatically acceptable? Because it never is, even in context. 
Face it, the dude&#039;s a joke and he is ruining your party. And you are letting him get away with it.</description>

		<description>C.S.Strowbridge: &quot;You’ve wrapped yourself in Lee Atwater’s mantra so tightly that you no longer realize you are lying to yourself. Welfare reform is about ’self-reliance’, but when you think of someone on welfare, it’s a black person, right?&quot;

Dennis the Bigot: &quot;Good Lord, Strowbridge, you are a fucking psychotic. Do something about your white guilt beside calling people racists like you were a bumbling old man with Tourettes who’s got nothing else to do with his life.

Go see a psychiatrist or something. Seriously.&quot;

Translation: &quot;Waaaahhh!&quot;

Calling the Southern Strategy racist is White Guilt. 

Good lord, you are so fucking racist that you actually think you have to be suffering from White Guilt to realize there&#039;s real racism out there.

&lt;I&gt;That&#039;s&lt;/I&gt; a sign of mental illness, Dennis. You are one sick fucker. 

Thank god your and your kind and in the minority, and are apparently doing everything they can to make sure they stay there.</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;Well, okay then. 

Limbaugh is still an asshole.&lt;/i&gt;

Agreed. However, that doesn&#039;t automatically make whatever Media Masters says about him true. In fact, it usually means that you gotta dig into the context of the remark to get the truth -- a skill that is apparently a disqualifier to work there.

		<description>I love how the fucking worthless piece of human excrement Jay Tea cannot even point to anything that actually happened outside of his fevered imagination as excusing the brilliant satire of the leader of the Republican party. Hey, I can make up imaginary scenarios as well, that should excuse anything any Democrat ever does, right?</description>

		<description>Duros, I believe he&#039;s the one who stuck the screwdriver through the captured pirate&#039;s hand. He confronted an armed pirate, attacked him, and captured him. Thw whole damned crew worked together to defeat the pirates -- they didn&#039;t just lock themselves in the engine room. That&#039;s heroic in my book.

		<description>&lt;i&gt;But back to the Maersk Alabama’s first mate: he’s a hero. He did a heroic thing.&lt;/i&gt;

Just out of curiosity, how is locking yourself in the engine room heroic?</description>

		<description>J.G.Thayer: &quot;Strowbridge, the only thing my conscience pangs me over is how much satisfaction I get when I see you blow your gasket — it’s so easy, so predictable, and so entertaining.&quot;

Two points...

1.) Blow a gasket? You can see my emotions over the internet? When I call you a racist piece of shit, I do so in a very calm matter. I do so because you are a racist piece of shit. 

1.) I&#039;m not surprised you don&#039;t have a guilty conscience  for being such a racist asshole. You&#039;ve managed to justify it so often that you no longer even realize you are racist. You&#039;ve wrapped yourself in Lee Atwater&#039;s mantra so tightly that you no longer realize you are lying to yourself. Welfare reform is about &#039;self-reliance&#039;, but when you think of someone on welfare, it&#039;s a black person, right?

&quot;If you had the slightest bit of integrity, you’d admit that Limbaugh’s poor joke had a smidgen of truth to it — witness...&quot;

So the GOP is filled with racist assholes, like yourself, and now they complain whenever people call them on that fact. &#039;Watermelons on the White House lawn has nothing to do with the Southern Strategy!&#039;

You are a fucking whiny baby. 

Fortunately, at this pace, 2010 will be just as bad for the Republicans as 2006 and 2008 were.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;KONDRACKE:  I think Obama did the right thing.  I was in church with him on -- same church as -- on -- on Sunday, and he looked like very preoccupied and now it&#039;s -- it&#039;s -- it&#039;s apparent why because he was thinking what was going on in the -- in the -- off Somalia.

RUSH:  I was in church with him on Sunday, he looked very preoccupied.  He may have looked preoccupied in church on Sunday.  Now we know why. He was worried about the order he had given to wipe out three teenagers on the high seas, black Muslim teenagers.  I think the way he looked in church, Mort, probably confused that nobody was screaming about how evil America is.  That&#039;s what he&#039;s used to hearing in church, and he obviously didn&#039;t hear that.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Sorry, Mr. Tea. That&#039;s not satire. This is the first mention of black or Muslim in Mr. Limbaugh&#039;s presentation and it&#039;s not a paraphrase or caricature of anything that came before.</description>

		<description>Ah, but Jay isn&#039;t a fan of Limbaugh.  No sir.  Nor is he a Republican.  Ya see, he&#039;s just a completely impartial recipient of government provided health-care who happens to think government should never provide anything except to him.

He&#039;s also a complete fucking joke of an intellect, but everybody already knew that.</description>

		<description>Jay Tea says

&lt;blockquote&gt;He’s wrong — probably because he’s been misinformed, but he’s wrong in this case.&lt;/blockquote&gt;


Oh HELL NAWL you ain&#039;t getting off that easy.  This is what you previously said.

&lt;blockquote&gt;But the point is that the satirical intent is obvious to anyone without an axe to grind. 
Which describes the folks making a big stink out of it to a tee.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Now you are either saying Murphy is a dumbass who couldn&#039;t recognize satire or you are saying he has an axe to grind.  Which is it?  Be a man and own your shit.  It amazes me how whenever Limbaugh says something racist his dutiful dittoheads explain it away as satire.  Well it seems that Mr Murphy, the guy you admit is a hero, doesn&#039;t appreciate that particular form of &quot;satire&quot; the same as most rational non bigoted folks.  Stop showing your skirt and attack the man or drop it, nobody from Media Matters or any other liberal blog got him to make that statement.  He did it of his own free will unprompted so if you have a problem with anybody you have it with him.  Whats the matter?  Afraid to talk shit about a hero?  


I just bet you are.</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;If you had the slightest bit of integrity, you’d admit that Limbaugh’s poor joke had a smidgen of truth to it.&lt;/i&gt;

Seriously?  WTF dude, there isn&#039;t even a smidgen of sanity in his rantings.  When did anyone protest against killing terrorists or pirates because of their race or religion?  Your Katrina non sequitir aside, I have no idea where Limbaugh gets this insane BS. This actually makes even less sense than the racial stupidity (I&#039;ll give him the benefit of the doubt and not call it racist, although it was pretty damn close) that got him kicked off Monday Night Football.  At least that had some point, as truly stupid as it was, but this is just fever-ranting inanity.  I guess it fills up his time slot, but if you think it is in any way a cogent analysis of ills of liberal thinking, I fear for you.  Do you actually want to defend it?  Do you understand what he was trying to say?</description>

<p>Seriously?  WTF dude, there isn&#8217;t even a smidgen of sanity in his rantings.  When did anyone protest against killing terrorists or pirates because of their race or religion?  Your Katrina non sequitir aside, I have no idea where Limbaugh gets this insane BS.

		<description>Wrong about what, exactly?  That Limbaugh and his defenders like yourself are hateful morons?

Going by majority opinion, he&#039;s dead right.

But I&#039;d expect no less from you than to take a genuinely good event (sailors rescued successfully on orders from the Prez) and try to insert your weird racial politics into it.

Well played yet again, Mr. Jay.  Glad to know my tax dollars kept you alive so you could keep on spewing your babble for all to read and mock.</description>

		<description>Jaim, I&#039;ll take that as a congratulations on my 11th anniversary with my current employer. You&#039;re a few months late, but I&#039;ll overlook it.

Strowbridge, the only thing my conscience pangs me over is how much satisfaction I get when I see you blow your gasket -- it&#039;s so easy, so predictable, and so entertaining. It&#039;d be a bit more entertaining, though, if you occasionally changed things up a bit. 

If you had the slightest bit of integrity, you&#039;d admit that Limbaugh&#039;s poor joke had a smidgen of truth to it -- witness the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, when Kanye West proclaimed on national TV that &quot;George Bush doesn&#039;t care about black people&quot; and Spike Lee saying that Bush blew up the levees on purpose. It&#039;s not that far a stretch from that to what Limbaugh projected.

But back to the Maersk Alabama&#039;s first mate: he&#039;s a hero. He did a heroic thing. But that doesn&#039;t grant him infallibility -- no more than Cindy Sheehan had &quot;absolute moral authority&quot; on the Iraq War or the wartime experiences of Bob Dole or John McCain made them automatically worthy of the presidency. He&#039;s wrong -- probably because he&#039;s been misinformed, but he&#039;s wrong in this case.

		<description>As an indolent recipient of socialized health-care, Jay just resents people who actually work for a living, be they union or no.

He&#039;s the ultimate welfare queen.</description>

		<description>J.G.Thayer: &quot;No, Strowbridge, &#039;projecting.&#039; It’s an appropriate term in this context. &#039;Predicting&#039; would have been if he had said &#039;this is what will happen.&#039; &#039;Projecting&#039; means &#039;under the circumstances I have described, this is what these people would likely have said.&#039;&quot;

Nope. Projecting means predicting the future. You were describing an alternate history. 

&quot;And you yet again are trying to make this about race. Your obsession there really is getting severe. Have you considered medications?&quot;

Two points.

1.) Stop fucking whining, you little shit. Grow up and act like an adult.

2.) &lt;B&gt;YOU ARE THE ONE WHO BROUGHT UP RACE!&lt;/B&gt; Well, technically it was your fellow racist asshole, Rush Limbaugh, was the one who brought it up. But you were agreeing with his racist banter before I got here. So I wasn&#039;t the one bringing up race, was I? Nope. It&#039;s just your guilty conscience again. I know it&#039;s hard for you to admit that your racist, but I don&#039;t fucking care. I don&#039;t have empathy for racist assholes like you.</description>
