Status: offline 		Good old Limppa and Dan Rather are brothers now…they both took it upon themselves to spew gossip that turns out to be a hoax. I wonder if Limppa will be hounded out of his job the way Rather was?…Is there any difference in their actions I ask?

Anyway HERE is the story.


Just another example of his irresponsible divisive hate politics at any cost...even the truth...

As much as I hate to say it, I don't think that Limbaugh deserves the same treatment Rather received. Dan Rather was a newsman, a journalist. It was his responsibility to present news that was accurate. Limbaugh is an entertainer who has never been held to any standards of truth, fairness of reason. If he were not allowed to lie outrageously, make comments as vile as allowed by the FCC and present his own twisted view of things, he would not be on the radio in the first place.

As sad as it was to see a fine journalistic career end in disgrace, it was the only answer to what he had been a part of. The only answer to Rush is to, as most intelligent people do, shake your head at his nonsense and go on with more important things.

Unless, of course, you happen to see him crossing the street in front of you as you're driving down the road. Then you run him over with your car.

Edit: And then back over him to make sure.

Maybe still popping the oxycontin?

Myself, I look at it the opposite.

Rather had a long, distinguished career and was well-respected.  One mistake, and my understanding is he believed the sources had been checked by others in the organization, does not overshadow the jounalistic integrity he displayed for years.

As far as Rush being an entertainer, you and I both know he is not viewed that way by the majority of his supporters.

There seem to be a great many hoaxes of late.

Groan. But maybe this is why I do not understand some of the responses lately.

There is no hate like liberal hate..............

So you're point is that Dan Rather was someone we were supposed to take seriously while Rush is not? I agree completely.

A buddy from the group phoned me last night.  I am so glad we did not wreck a friendship over politics.

We both see how the basics of America are compromised.

Of course Rush simply making up false claims is worse than Rather failing at fact checking a story but I think the point is that if what Rather did was justification for running him off the air then Rush should hang up his mike.

Rather did not "make up" the information but received some questionable facts he reported, and later apologized for on-air.

There is no failure to pay attention to facts like those who worship at Rush's feet.................

Works for me.  However, does that mean Palin becomes the commentator? Does that increase or decrease the intellectual content?
