Why is Rush Limbaugh still on American Forces Radio?
   
The following excerpt is from a transcript of Rush Limbaugh's daily radio rant:



"Obama's Incoherent Afghanistan War Policy Doesn't Plan for Victory"

(snip)

"(Obama) didn't talk about victory because, remember, he's uncomfortable with the concept of victory. He has said this. And in Obama's world -- and I know some of you are not going to like this -- but if you haven't learned yet not to doubt me, learn now. Do not doubt me. Barack Obama believes Al-Qaeda has a point. Barack Obama believes our enemies have a point. He even admitted again last night our mistakes, national mistakes, targeting the Bush administration, apparently lying about Rumsfeld denying troop requests from 2001 to 2006. Rumsfeld has issued a statement. "What do you mean, Rush, Al-Qaeda has a point." In Obama's world, America is guilty, or was, until he was elected. America is unjust. America is immoral. America has plundered the world and stolen resources for our own selfish capitalistic use. Don't forget in one of Obama's books, just as an aside here, when he's talking about the first job he had in the private sector, he felt like he was behind enemy lines. "

(snip)

"So Obama's sending in these 30,000 troops not to win anything, but to lay the foundation for pulling them all out. And the other troops that are there, not just these 30,000. This is the policy of a left-wing politician, not a serious commander-in-chief who leaves the strategies to the experts. I heard this this morning and some last night that he can't please anyone. We're not talking about pleasing anyone! It's a war, for crying out loud! There's a goal in war, it's to win it. We win, they lose. To hell with pleasing people! This is what I mean: "Al-Qaeda has a point." Like we have a policy that supports Israel and they don't like Israel, no wonder they're mad at us, they have a point. That's how he views the world."

(snip)

"Those who oppose victory are not morally equivalent to those of us who support it. This is the thing that frustrates me the most. There is no moral equivalence between victory and defeat. Just because somebody wants to lose does not mean they have an equal morality right to sit at the table and debate this. We're not about losing. If we're going to lose, don't send the troops. The people on the left are wrong about this and we are right, and we don't have to worry about how they feel. It's not a strategy for winning anything. Obama did not use the words "victory" or "win." And I hear, "Well what is victory, Rush, what is victory?" Come on, folks, have we descended to the point that we're going to argue with ourselves over what victory is? I'll tell you what it is. Victory is preventing our enemy, which killed nearly 3,000 Americans on 9/11 from using Afghanistan again to hit us. And it was the Taliban that gave Al-Qaeda the safe haven that they needed."

http://www.rushlimbaugh.com/home/daily/site_120209/cont...

Is this sort of speech good for troop morale, especially without equal time given to opposing viewpoints? What do you think?

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x7164243

Tell you what swampy why don't you let the soldiers, airmen, sailors, and marines decide what they want on AFN and shut the **** up.
Your side has called them war criminals, rapists and murders they do not need your stupid asses telling them the program schedule on the radio.
They are fighting to protect your right to sit at home and be stupid so once again I tell you to shut the **** up.

4. I registered RushOffAFN.com some time ago.

Maybe I should join his site and educate that tool on why they won't take Rush off of AFN.

It worked well for me the last time I educated the DUmp on that matter.    :uhsure:

Heh, heh, I remember that shit! I was a lurker back then I think. Didn't actually get involved until they knifed my back in November, and had way too much time on my hands. It was hilarious though! Didn't PJ have a blast with that, too? Hell, that's when I met most you guys and joined CU. Uh....do we call that the good 'ol days? Hahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!

26. He's not popular with the soldiers I know.

And I only know a few people in my city who listens to the draft-dodging puss bucket.

After all the un-American crap he's said, I doubt if Limpballs can walk the streets safely anymore.

12. Is it just me or does Rush appear to be back on his, uh, meds?

The speech at CPAC and the recent interview with MSNBC (the one where he looks like Archie Bunker) both show a restless Rush with wild eyes who can barely sit in his seat.

Yeah, he's fried on something again.

So would a lot of other things. He'd be better off having gastric bypass.

That sounds like a call to do him harm.
By the primitives own standards this person should be outed by skins for arrest and the DUmp shut down.

Yep,  I remember that, Tx.  They love freedom of speech when they're talking, but when someone else has their say and they don't agree with it, all hell breaks loose.  Intelligent bunch over there......MD

That's because you don't know any REAL soldiers.  Only the fakers and bitter former draftees that occupy the DUmp.

That's because bums living in boxes and crack addicts don't own radios.

He's safer than you would be.  Try and take a swing at Rush and see how many people put a beat down on you before you got your fist moving forward.

It has - it seems he learned a new Photoshop trick, and now instead of turning everyone green,  he gives everyone a whole lot of 'liver spots'

Once I get my desktop computer rebuilt, Ill have to write a new Swamp Rat style tutorial for his latest stunt. ( right now I'm typing this on a heavily modified arcade machine - Its great for games and multimedia, barely adequate for the internet, and useless for anything requiring pixel precision ) The original tutorial was at TOS if I recall, so Ill probably reproduce that as well.

There is no magic in any of his Photoshops, yet the common Primitive worships him as if he is a witch doctor.

Where did Obama ever say he wanted victory?

When have the DUmmies ever said they wanted victory?

My mole is running a thread pointing out that this is exactly what Obama campaigned for and is getting pilloried for saying so. They don't care if it was a promise they wanted immediate retreat. Yet, these jackholes are excoriating Rush for echoing exactly what thy want Obama to do.

The issue isn't the issue, the agenda is the issue.

I've wondered about that as well. His skill and creativity at Photoshop are on a par with the chinless 'Bama butterball and her videos, Mythsaje's goofy novels, and Pedro's cartoons. The DUmp oozes talent, doesn't it?

42. Olbermann is on AFR, first I've heard of that. I have absolutely
   
no doubt that listening to people like Rush add to the escalation of their frustration, their aggressions, and ultimately their PTSD. He should not be a voice on AFR. If Olbermann is, perhaps he should not be either. They need, imo, straight news and entertainment, not political pundits.

so now Rush causes PTSD.  :whatever:

I have never heard Rush say anything but good things about our troops. The morons on the left have been saying that troops are dying in vain in Iraq and that they are committing war crimes.

11. Because he is popular with the troops.
   
He is popular with the troops just like he is popular with the general public. Does NOT mean he is correct, just popular. AFN generally puts on the most popular shows on it's networks. If that's what they want to hear I say let them. The troops are not children.

Ouch that is gonna leave a mark

15. NO, they generally put on partisan ultra-right-wing hacks
   
using my tax dollars. even a, er, person such as yourself should see that this is wrong.

Face it, the country would be a lot better off if Limpballs had been Berg'd 15 years ago.

These idiots at the DUmp must think we would all subscribe to liberalism if it weren't for Rush. I have news for you boneheads I was conservative long before I even heard of Rush.

49. Remember the Dixie Chicks?
   
Under Cheney/Bush rule they were essentially banned for saying unkind things about the ruler, er President.

Hey bonehead neither congress or Bush did anything to censor the dixie twits. They pissed off the people who listen to country music.

If that's the case then the only news reporting the soldiers would ever see would be brought to them by the AFN Nightly News.

These idiots forget...or are completely ignorant to the fact that we are forced to listen to shows from NPR...AP...MSNBC...Al Franken and Ed Schultz.

Funny that the DUmmies don't have a problem with their idiocy being pumped into our heads 24/7...but they get completely wrapped around the axles over ONE FREAKING HOUR of Rush Limbaugh that airs IIRC at 7pm on the AM stations on AFN.

If AFN was truly fair about this they would let Rush go on for the whole 3 hours he broadcast.
