I get the impression the Democrats do enjoy kicking a Party when it's down. So do I.

I found that highly amusing, however I don't think apologizing to the swine in a form letter would have quite the humble, apologetic tone I'd prefer. Face-to-face with this enemy of the nation would be so much better......
Anyhow, I hope he gets lots & lots of apologies from everyone.

Here's a variation:
Hi Rush,
Sorry about saying "Limbaugh and Bin Laden both want America to fail" and applying the term "tacit treason" to your political pronouncements.
Sorry about further saying your Republican Party, through your pronouncements and past actions has tacitly placed itself with those who want to harm America and in effect joined Al Qaeda when you accused the opposition of weakening the country and hope America economically fails rather than help strengthen it, even if only with constructive criticism.

| Yeah, Rush has responsibilty for murdering over 6 million people. get off it. He is just a blow hard that casuses trouble for the right. The fact is that the left and the media make him to be a monster and want to supress his free speech. But no one reports on comments from Al Franken on his radio program that are just as controversial about conservatives. |

The comparison to acting like Goering is inaccurate.
He acts much more like Joseph Goebbles. |

Rush made a monster of himself. And right now, the best thing for Democrats would be for Rush to talk more.| But no one reports on comments from Al Franken on his radio program that are just as controversial about conservatives. |
Really? I haven't listened to Franken in over 15 years, probably. Did he claim that a Parkinson's victim was exaggerating his symptoms on purpose (with miming and sarcastic tone)? |

Sigh. Of course, you're right, V_D.
Robb: Rush Limbaugh has been an effective lying blowhard who has for years hurt a lot of people. Only recently, like a fading Joe McCarthy, has he started to hurt the Right. I never heard a liberal say that Limbaugh should be taken off the air. In fact, now, most of us want him to get more and more attention!
And, uh, Robb: Al Franken's show is off the air. Since February 14, 2007.

Rush Limbaugh is a reprehensible human being. He adds nothing but discord the the political dialogue in spite of being a not-half-bad orator. He puts on a school-yard bully persona but in actuality, he is too big a candy-ass to take on any sort of a real challenge. His offer to the president to debate is a case in point; he knows perfectly well that Obama hasn't the time for this sort of foolishness and will either ignore him (most likely) or turn him down flat. Then he'll crow about Obama being afraid of him, when he is actually the real coward here.
Having Republicans apologize to him has given him an entirely unwarranted opinion of his self-worth. He believes that he is majestic but he is a mere blatherskite, a noisy, puffed-up popinjay elevated to semi-importance by a political party terrified that they'll lose their relevance. Which they are doing well enough just on their own. To the rest of us, he is a dog-turd stuck to a shoe sole, magnificent only in it's stench.
Having few ethics and virtually no moral conscience, he feels free to lie without end and has become quite wealthy at it. As he has been rewarded for this, like a Pavlovian experiment he will mindlessly continue on, that is, until the Republicans finally wise up and scrape him off of their collective shoe. I don't see that happening any time soon, the Republican leaders being what they are.
So ok, here's an apology for you, Rushy baby: I'm really sorry that you are such an ignorant, pus-gutted load in the pants of America. I really regret that anyone bothers to listen to you and I writhe in remorse that anyone at all believes anything you say. And I'm really sorry that you have become the Fred Phelps of AM radio, a hater deserving nothing beyond an intense loathing and a vigorous size 13 in the fundement – anything smaller would get lost in it.
But hey, Rush ain't all bad; he wears some really splendid neckties!

This bothers me a little, Robb. It's not just the straw man, but the accusation of suppressing free speech.
Straw man first: of course Rush had nothing to do with the Holocaust; he hadn't even been whelped yet. But I will remind that he cheered lustily as Bush presided over the slaughter of something like 1,000,000 innocent Iraqis.
No one is trying to take free speech away from Rush. He has the privilege to spout any vicious nonsense he wishes, and does, ad nauseum. But at the same time, I enjoy the freedom to heap scorn and ridicule upon him at any & every opportunity, and do with gusto. And 'mooner is at liberty to make unfavorable comparisons of him and I wish he'd do more of it. And you, my friend, are have every right to take us to task for it, but please; no more logical fallacies even in sarcasm; they tend to dilute the argument.
I've never caught Franken's act and know only a little background on him, but it seems to me that Coleman is making a perfect ass of himself.

I would be interested in Robb's evidence that the left and the media are trying to suppress Limbaugh's free speech. They may criticize/ridicule him and the media may not air a lot of his drivel, but that is not suppression of free speech. When an ignorant dipshit like Limbaugh is driveling along, nobody is obligated to take his inane ramblings seriously or to air them on radio or television.
Rightfully ridiculing and/or ignoring the incoherent ramblings of a bigoted dipshit is not suppression of free speech. |

As Dave said, we want him to talk even more. His own mouth does more to demonstrate what a lunatic he is than any comments we can make about him. And the media loves a bloviated blowhard of his stature.
As for Rush, he is more than happy about the attention he is getting. He is happy as a pig in shit. (My apology to actual pigs who probably don't deserve that analogy, and who do more to serve us than Rush has ever done.) After eight years of being largely ignored, except for things like, you know, drug busts, he is top dog again among those independent thinkers on the right who call themselves "dito heads".
As much as I hate Rush Limbaugh, I love the bastard for showing us, by word anyhow, at least one segment of the right for what it is... |

That's just beautiful. A perfect demonstration of why it would be a shame to shut that bloviated blowhard bastard up...
