"Hate radio" is another one of those leftist labels placed on those they disagree with. Disagreement is the hallmark of a free society. People who despise disagreement are actually fearful of being caught in their own cognitive dissonance struggle.

Yes ... Before my time, but I've read some of the passages. Another of the bellicose, lying "can't handle debate" types like Limbaugh, who must make as Limbaugh himself admits, a "performance", among like-minded shills. A Limbaugh debate with anyone competent would be great, but would cost him his $30m/yr. so is unlikely to happen. The best he can do on uncomfortable facts is change the subject, like the cyst on his ass giving him an excuse to escape military service. snopes.com "There are similar stories [of avoiding service in Vietnam] about almost every other prominent rightwing Republican of recent vintage. Newt Gingrich, ex-Speaker of the House, went the Cheney route [of obtaining deferments]; Kenneth Starr, Clinton's legal nemesis, had psoriasis; Jack Kemp, Dole's running mate in 1996, was unfit because of a knee injury, though he heroically continued as a National Football League quarterback for another eight years; Pat Buchanan had arthritis in his knees, though he soon became an avid jogger.

Also, in his case, a pain in the arse is peculiarly appropriate. Status: true
