It's not an incomprehensible concept, but your application of it certainly is. Limbaugh is the one directing his audience — some of whom are policy makers — to "come for" other people's liberties. The underlying context is often "do unto others before they do unto you."

Heck, I was hoping he'd number them so he'd get to the claim about calling whatserface a whore. Mark Evanier freely quotes from people who say Anne Coulter would fuck a hippo to improve her q-rating and Michelle Malkin's prose sounds much better if you imagine her reading it out loud with a big, hairy set of balls in her mouth. Evanier admires his turn of phrase as a writer, but wishes he didn't say so because it might turn off people who don't already agree with him.

He also made several posts about why anybody was wrong to make a fuss about David Letterman putting some 14-year old at Yankee Stadium on nationwide tv and saying A-Rod would fuck her so hard a baby dropped out , but maybe Obama should give back the money.

[Ok, I'm mixing up a couple of things there, including viewpoints that Evanier has never expressed to my knowledge. I don't usually point out when I'm doing so, but for the slow of mind, I will say that I'm juxtaposing similar-but-different events - Letterman on the Palins at Yankee Stadium, plus Bill Maher's running commentary and providing a big chunk of change for the guy who wants to keep things pleasant for Sasha and Mahlia. See how I had to write a lot more to fully express a concept? I call it cartooning with words. But the idea is fully there in my original statement]

Of course he said that three years ago, and you didn't take him seriously then either. Fuck them nappy headed ho's.

Chris seems to see others' bad behavior as a license for him to behave the same way; he sees others' not responding in the way he thinks they should as license to behave even worse.

@ChrisW

You're bothered about "the left" not being able to criticize their own, but then you, likewise, are unable to do the same.

Anyways, getting back to the topic of Rush, it's an interesting debate that Fluke sparked by making her testimony and it bears some good discussion. If Rush had a strong argument then he should of made some well-articulared points instead of implying Fluke is a nymphomaniac prostitute and distorting what she said.

The excuse of he's just a shock jock/entertainer, or whataboutwhentheleftdoesit is immature. If you're bothered by what was said about Malkin, Palin, and Coulter, and believe it's comparable to what Rush said, shouldn't you be disgusted with him as well?

Or is it more fun always saying "but they did it first!"

Mark Evanier is pretty much always friendly, as far as I know. He has several different email addresses, depending on whether or not you give him permission to quote you. He's one of the few liberals who (publicly) makes a genuine attempt to look at the right-wing point-of-view as something other than irredemably evil and/or stupid. Palin said Letterman should be kept away from her daughter, and M.E's mind went to sex instead of the possibility that a 14-year old girl who knows how to use guns [they're all gun freaks, aren't they?] might be pissed off at the guy who just humiliated her on nationwide television for no other reason than that she was born.

I don't hold it against the guy, I just can't figure out why he blames Palin for making a bigger deal of it (something to do with campaigning). He does admit maybe Letterman should have apologized earlier, but spends far more verbiage on why Mama Palin is wrong to be so pissed off about Letterman's treatment of a 14-year old girl.

Of course you can do whatever you like to a 13 year-old girls' body against her will, and Allen Montgomery (plus others) will loudly defend you so long as you mouth liberal pieties. You can truly trash women and Mark Evanier will defend your turn of phrase and sigh that you might be turning away people who don't already agree with you.

You can be Anthony Weiner. Or Bill Clinton. Or John Edwards who was actually considered qualified for Vice-President by a major political party.

When you're willing to stop dismissing everything you don't like as 'you listen to too much Rush Limbaugh' [and cheer 41 Senators trying to get him shut down], then maybe I'll stop quoting liberals. Until then, to quote the (Lincoln, Nebraska native) Dick Cheney, go fuck yourself.

Because I don't care. Tina Fey and Charlie Sheen could each get a million bucks a week to star in "Sarah Palin's A Cunt" on NBC prime time and it wouldn't matter to me. I think it's a horrible idea and I'd be appalled at the notion, but "Sarah Palin is a cunt" t-shirts have been consistently on-sale since 2008. Geez, for all the racism in the country, you'd think they could think of something to say about Barack Obama, who just released a campaign ad against Sarah Palin.

You don't sound like someone who doesn't care.

There's you caught in a lie. Letterman wasn't referring to the minor.

But the minor is the one he put on television for the crime of going to Yankee Stadium.
