Arkansas bird death talking point (a how to) from Rush Limbaugh - global warming
   
At lunch I switched over for literally 3 minutes and the lard ass was rambling all over the place. Before he took a dig at St.Louis Rams fans "eating crow" (he failed to get his dream job of NFL ownership because he is such a racist) he jokingly said that he heard that the massive bird death in Arkansas was because of GLOBAL WARMING.

He meant it as a joke. Satire. But his listeners (conservatives) simply don't register satire or irony.

The first thing I thought of was the manufacture of a lie starting with Rush a few years ago. When Sandy Berger (on Kerry's campaign staff) got caught taking documents out of the National Archives (I think it was) Rush said, "I hear that he had them hidden in his socks". By 3 o'clock that afternoon Major Garrett was reporting the socks story as the midday anchor. I don't remember if for some reason I was home that day or if we watched unfold here on DU. By that evening it was part of the the initial paragraph on Fox News that Britt Hume read and the rest of the MSM followed, as usual.


Bird death - global warming. Don't be surprised if you hear it in the next day or so on TV and then it becames a "fact" of this story.

I fully expect to hear that globull warming killed these birds. Only, it won't be a joke and it will be from someone on the left.

You should have listened for more than 3 minutes, you missed the joke about the birds hitting the debt ceiling.

2. Rush really should stand up when he does his show
   
As long as he keeps pulling things out of his ass, it would expedite the process, I should think.

And it's us on the right who can't register satire.  :whatever:

3. Gulf Oil Spill
   
When I first heard of all the dead birds, and fish, my immediate thought was the Oil Spill. Could this be connected?

yep it's all BP's fault.

I may not lock my doors while sitting at a red light and a black man is near, but I sure as hell grab on tight to my wallet when any democrats are close by.

Maybe it's just their breeds time to disappear from the Earth?

It is quite odd.  There were more birds that fell from the sky in another state today or yesterday.  I think in Kentucky?  I only caught the news update and we were right outside of Laughlin so my radio was cutting out a bit.

If someone has discovered a way to exterminate a few bazillion of those damn blackbirds, more power to them.

We NEED global warming to happen so the wittle birdies don't die.

I believe that our alien overlords killed the birds as an experiment and to strike fear into our heats.

In all seriousness, I'd tend to believe this.

Now I have to BS ya.  I've seen them in upstate NY in the winter, and they have zero problem running other birds out of my parents' feeders.  (Though, the bird type that is the fiercest, that nothing will mess with, is a male cardinal.  I've seen one male cardinal run four blue jays off before.  It's a beautiful thing.)

DUmmies, seriously, ya'll need to stop it. My face is getting sore from all the face-palming.

Irony...on display at DU everyday. I swear if I was an English teacher I'd assign homework that they go to DU and find 10 examples of irony. They'd be done in 15 minutes, I bet.

Panty-man lies.  The DUmmies all say they "accidentally" hit the Rush Limbaugh show when we all know they listen to him every day.  If they were smart enough to actually absorb what Rush Limbaugh says, they might learn something.
