Limbaugh supports dining room table

[realthog]

Right-wingers whom I know keep saying the trouble with the healthcare furore is that the rest of us should grow up and stop with the name-calling and discourteously unsettling identification of dangerous fruitbats, and instead make efforts -- as, although they mysteriously fail to mention this, the President has been doing since January -- to establish a dialogue.

Hm.

Further to my post here, Rush Limbaugh responded to Barney Frank on his radio show:

I think it's fabulous and fantastic, and hilarious that a woman shows up at a Barney Frank town hall meeting with an Obama-as-Hitler poster and this Nazi stuff, in his district. I mean, this is unreal.

But the killer for me was, here's Barney Frank saying, "What planet do you live on?" to this woman. Isn't it an established fact that Barney Frank himself spends of his time living around Uranus?

Wow. Two varieties of hate speech -- anti-Semitism and homophobia -- for the price of one! Quickly, establish a dialogue with that, someone.





(Incidentally, the other day Limbaugh described Nancy Pelosi as "deranged" because she said fruitbats were turning up at these town hall meetings with swastikas and other Nazi paraphernalia. It seems the fat man's memory is short.)

I'm honestly surprised some of his own haven't called him on the anti-Jewish remark there (though not on the anti-gay remark, of course).

ETA: Apparently some of my icons are not working these days.

I'm honestly surprised more Republicans don't cry "foul" about so much of the stuff their stormtroopers and shock jocks come out with; instead, they insist the rest of us should be apologizing for Barney Frank's "put-down" of this obnoxious, brainwashed, venomous little turd (as any objective analysis would describe her).

It occurred to me last night as I was falling asleep that a significant difference between the left and the right in this country is that the left call their own extremists on excesses while the right remain acquiescent about theirs. This capacity of the left for honesty and fair play is regarded by the right as "weakness", and they capitalize upon it.
