From the Wall St. Journal:
After his bid to buy a stake in the St. Louis Rams was blitzed on Wednesday, Rush Limbaugh went on his radio show to blame an "ongoing effort by the left in this country … to destroy conservatism, to prevent the mainstreaming of anyone who is prominent as a conservative." In truth, if prominent conservatives were barred from owning NFL teams, about a dozen franchises would be for sale.

Yes folks, LIBerals ( and maybe the jews and the blacks...and probably those filthy EYEtalians ) have flexed their considerable socio-political might once again, somehow keeping the most influential man this side of Oprah Winfrey from owning the St. Louis Rams. Long Rush's dream to own a bunch of black men, he blames "Obama" and "Blind Hatred".
Certainly couldn't have been anything HE has done...the man's practically a saint, if not for the occasional cigar.

Rush gets booted, yet GEORGE SOROS is staying in the deal...that's rich.

Soros, nazi collaborator, the owner of the democratic party, the "man" that purchased the "General Betrayus" ad, owner of Moveon.org is not "devisive" as defined by liberals, is gonna be part of the group making the bid.

Liberal hypocracy at it's finest...they don't even get embarrassed by it anymore.

Man, I can't believe how hate fuelled American politics is as promulgated by the "right". I have a feeling that many Americans cannot appreciate how "unAmerican" it looks to those on the outside looking in.

I am pro American and always have been and thank god that there is an America for the sake of civilization in the world but man you can't appreciate how boorish and backward people like Rush Limbaugh and his ilk look to many Western Civilization non-Americans.

Their whole 'style' is very reminiscent of "Brown Shirts". They would be the first ones to denounce a national socialist type political outcome (those that actually know what that is anyway) yet they walk and quack just like National Socialist ducks.

The leadership of the American right is in dire need of new people whose secondary education and political sophistication rises above the level of ignorance presently seen and by doing so reclaim the Republican party by forcing out the 'American Taliban' and the idiots like Rush Limbaugh.

Anyway, just my opinion freely given in a democratic society.

Great input LuckyBonnie and you are not the only one that feels that way. I have been living overseas for the past fifteen years serving in the military and I have the same exact impression looking in with different perspectives and I am not only American but I am serving for her! Politics has become combative; plain and simple. It's the foundation of the issues but who can one up the other. The media has continually and systematically fed into this crap because in the end it produces ratings. So now you have a viewing audience that chooses a news channel reflective to their political party that they support. Are you kidding me??!! I will repeat...the news organizations present the "news" in a format to target a certain demographic within their viewing pool. So much the golden rule of classic journalism that news is to be presented in an unbiased manner and the viewer collect the information and makes a structured decision for themself. We are much too busy for that and enjoy to many conveniences to take the time out for that nonsense so we will just have them decide for us.

This way we can have liberals that are nazis. We can also have the conspiracy of the "left wing fascist" movements (posted on another thread) and any individual that does not subscribe to the conservative media is automatically a far left ideologist that rivals Karl Marx. If it wasn't so friggin' sad it would be funny. By the way, like his politics or not, Obama is not considered a far left politician by any means; this is not only compared to the geo-political scene but the basic political ideological definitions of left, center, and right wing politics. We do not even understand basic terminologies but yet we know the political scene and how it is constructed and runs. This is the greatest crime in my opinion because while we chew each other up over things we do not have a fundamental grasp on...the checks and balance portion of our democracy goes unrecognized. This to me is the real threat to our democracy right now. What a plan...shrewd and ruthless. Get the people identifying in an illogical manner to party loyalties and we won't have to worry about the questions and petitions that they could actually hold us accountable with. In the end its the citizens that get taken advantaged of and they are laughing right at us the whole time.

So someone starts a thread mocking Rush Limbaugh, and the right is promulgating hatred? With everything the left said about President Bush, the right is promulgating hatred? The last 20 years or so of U.S. politics have convinced me beyond a shadow of a doubt that both sides of the aisle have people who spew unbelievable venom at the other. I don't like it, obviously, but I also don't really subscribe to the "it's much worse than it ever was" philosophy. Several of the earliest elections in this country involved rhetoric that was just as personal, just as hysterical, as anything being spewed forth today.

Say 'no' to the bile.

I agree with HiD on this one; he is right and debate should be firing back and forth especially when candidates are lobbying for the vote from the citizens. I think the key difference though is that there is a substantial lack of understanding the fundamentals. We now live in a high tech age where the potential of countless resources exists at our fingertips but instead we have crawled into the age of misinformation. This is exists on all sides of the spectrum; sure it would be easy to say the left are the bad guys or the right are bad guys...go after them. It makes everything a lot prettier and neater if we could have that but it just doesn't work that way. Debate exists only when research is performed and the person is knowledgeable of the material. I would subscribe that pattern of information presented is hurting our country; because it is done so in a deceptive manner that has alterior motives. There was a time also when this mob mentality did not exist in politics. For example, former President Reagan, a strong conservative and effective President, made it a point to have a cabinet that was split between democrats and republicans. He basically followed the Lincoln model when it came to choosing this so that his people working underneath could hash the issues out and in the process, Reagan was able to hear and contemplate every angle of an issue possible. That is what is missing in politics today.

In Australia voting is compulsory and you face a fine if you don't vote. Electioneering has degenerated to the pollys spurting out sound bites repeatedly aimed at the lowest common denominator, it is a massive insult to your intellect, unfortunately the average aussie is so disinterested he votes on genetics. Same as his father did and his father before him blah blah...

Less than 10% of Australians ever have the opportunity to change the govt here because of our electoral system, it is a farce.

You should have to pass some sort of IQ test to vote.
