I like it, and I'm writing it down to use at a later date and claim it as my own! #hatemongering

I bagged a job at Playboy, so it was clear that God wanted me to be able to look at pussy pictures at work. #hatemongering

@Parah_Salin: I've always liked the graven images of the blond, blue-eyed Jesus, for how authentically they portray the demographic of people living in the Middle East / North Africa 2,000 years ago.
But my all-time favorite is Republican Jesus: [juniper.typepad.com] #hatemongering

The shorthand version is that negative-sense ssRNA (Group V) viruses need an additional enzyme to replicate, as opposed to positive-sense or Group IV ssRNA viruses.
That said, Limbaugh remains a turd. #hatemongering

The worst virus in American is ignorant people speaking out of their asses. Limbaugh is the Typhoid Mary of American ignorance.
I will be happy when his overstressed and undersized heart catches up with his brain and finally dies. #hatemongering

Not to mention that it is logically inconsistent to say that the public is hyping/lying about disease to take advantage of the government by getting money FROM it while at the same time saying that the government is hyping/lying about disease to take advantage of the public--in a way that apparently even he doesn't understand.
Pick a fucking argument, Rush, and try to make at least ONE of them make sense.

"Everything in Africa's called AIDS?"
Rush makes me wish we could all collectively engage in daily therapeutic shoutfests of hatemongering, a la Orwell's 1984.
I'm a registered Republican from a state with a majority of Republicans, and I *HATE* Rush with a passion. I really want to see him get his butt roundly kicked by people with the facts. Real ones.

The numbers aren't being hyped. There are Sentries that are either chosen or volunteer to send their lab samples off the CDC. That's where the official sample stats come from.
Personally, I know two people that had horrible cases of H1N1 both were healthy and both ended up in comas. I work in the medical field and this season has been really bad for the regular flu strain turning into pneumonia. #hatemongering

And because of idiots like Limbaugh, I can't get my dang parents (who are ardent fans of his) to get a flu shot. You are making this shit personal, Rush, and its pissing me off. #hatemongering

Not only do I hope Rush develops a pneumonic case of swine-flu this winter (OMG, what would the dittoheads do if their master is bedridden for a few weeks? How would they know what to think?!) I hope on his next Viagra-fueled hooker run through the Dominican Republic he catches a burning case of herpes on his micro-dick and the glob of lard under which it hides. Sorry for the tirade, but denying that AIDS is a huge problem in Africa irks the hell out of me.
(PS: At ~3:35 above, he claims to have thrice the I.Q. and more education than Katherine Sibelius. Pretty rich coming from someone who only has high-school education and whose own mother has called a flunky.) #hatemongering

The good-looking, smooth-talking con man you refer to is exactly who they distrust (and, by the way, exactly what Obama is often portrayed as on the right). The schlubby, everyman who's
just "talking straight" and loves America and reassures them their problems are not their fault (it's those liberals who never let anyone have a fair chance to begin with) is the one telling it like it is - and those elitist liberals calling him a "cigar-chewing moron" are just attacking the man because they can't attack the truth of his points. (Note that you/others have attacked the truth of his points, but this is not what is selectively pounced on in his defense.)
As for the fact that he's filthy rich, well - what voice of consequence in this country isn't. Obama, Jon Stewart, Al Sharpton, Joel Osteen, the Clintons, the Kennedys, Sean Hannity, Keith Olbermann, Sarah Palin, Michael Steele, Nancy Pelosi, etc., etc., etc...) - compared to the average American they are all wildly rich. The fact is so taken-for-granted now that it's pretty much entirely incidental. If you took away every political voice who had ever made money off the screwing
of thousands of Americans one way or another, we'd be (perhaps better off theoretically, but nevertheless) completely rudderless.
Anyway, I'm not going to give anyone a total free pass on personal responsibility for their beliefs, but I think the reclamation project is not as cut-and-dry as just telling everyone to be get their logic on. We are talking about a group of people (right-wingers, rural, - even all Americans, perhaps) who by and large believe that a white-bearded, old giant in robes is living on top of the clouds watching them right now and, if they're good, they'll get to have dinner with him when they're dead. (And believe this, sincerely. )
