Al, <Some of us think he is a hateful, divisive a$$hole with a chip on his shoulder and nothing by cynicism and insults to spew out.> I once thought that way until I actually read some of his arguments in his book "See, I Told You So." I expected arrogance and ego, but what I got was intelligent commentary and opinions. It made me realize how I was prejudging Rush based on hearsay from the mainstream media. This was back in college when I still considered myself an "open-minded liberal." Since then, I've come to figure out what an oxymoron that phrase turned out to be. Tenchusatsu

Stop generalizing and back your claim. Where should I begin? With "I never had sexual relations with that woman"? Or with Ms. Garofalo's "there is no evidence that there are missing WMD in Iraq"? Should we start with "Estrada's nomination is being held up because he hasn't disclosed his positions on everything"? What about Hillary's, "We found these billing records, they just appeared out of nowhere"? Or JFK Jr.'s, "I'm not even sure when I last flew on a private jet (answer: A couple hours ago)"? What about Alec Baldwin's "If Bush is elected, I'm moving to France"? Or there is, "The war is about oil" from Dennis Kucinich. The reality is that liberals lie with ease; it is, quite simply, a typical characteristic of a liberal. These lies are what enables the liberal to avoid seeing the black and white of good and evil. The fact that liberals cannot distinguish the absolute, inexcusable evil of Saddam Hussein can be attributed to their persistent blurring of the lines between right and wrong. In my view.
