he was swearing to his viewers, that both Clinton and his wife, Hilary, were actually paid secret agents of the Soviet KGB


This is exactly what I meant. I have never heard anything like that from him, ever. I think you come by this information via some intermediary source, and I don't believe for a moment that you heard it for yourself straight from his lips.



he was also raging at that time about how electing Clinton, and Clinton's demands for a balanced budget, and a complete welfare reform, would result in sending the USA economy into it's greatest crisis of all time!


That also sounds pretty preposterous. What conservative would argue against a true balanced budget initiative? On the contrary, he and a lot of other conservatives spend quite a bit of time arguing that it's high time the government showed some fiscal responsibility. And Clinton's notion of welfare reform involves a whole lot of out-of-control spending without accountability, i.e. making sure the program really accomplishes something (or is even necessary vs. just being a tool to court voters more interested in a handout than going out and working hard and thus truly empowering themselves).



he was thrown out of ESPN's employment for saying on the air, that Donovan McNabb, the undefeated, top ranked Eagle's black quarterback, was only being tolerated as the teams quarterback, because of his black colour.


First, he wasn't fired. ESPN put him there for ratings, pure and simple, and it worked big-time. It would have continued to work. Second, you should go back and see what Michael Irvin had to say about it, because he agreed with what was actually said. Interestingly enough, the network ran its own story in the very same broadcast that went into great depth about how McNabb's performance was less than stellar at that time. In fact Rush was not putting down McNabb per se, but he was making a comment on the nature of the sports media (many members of which affirmed him) and he did say that he believed McNabb's teammates (regardless of color) deserved more credit for the Eagles' success. And anyone who knows much about Rush (what he is really saying, who his friends are, who guest-hosts his show, etc.) knows he isn't racist. Read up on this some more, maybe starting with a fair and accurate article such as this:

he, himself, had been fraudulently forging real Doctor's signatures onto prescriptions forms that he had stolen from various doctors' offices in order to obtain more illegal drugs for his admitted addiction.


Again your information is what is fraudulent so don't believe it so readily. Rush has admitted he had an addiction, but maintains that there was no "doctor shopping" and to this day has been charged with no crime whatsoever. What we have here is a case of the Palm Beach police department attempting to set aside privacy rights in order to seize medical records in the hopes that they might find something they can actually use against him. It's a very big deal because the wrong outcome could have implications that, for example, could lead to something like this - that in Florida a police officer could pull you over with no reason and search your car for a reason to arrest you.



I am not sure how you personally define your own proper use of the word 'idiot', but I feel extremely comfortable in using this word to describe Limbaugh and his ardent faithful.


Sorry, but in my mind the evidence in your argument has completely discredited the argument.



And to address Dallas4U's post...

I have found that, when it comes to political matters, Heraclid likes to think he is right... it doesn't matter what you think... Other than that, I think he's a pretty decent fellow.


Well thanks, I think, and the feeling is mutual. What drives people nuts is that in this one instance I really do think I am right and there is absolutely no doubt in my mind. There is just something some people can't stand about folks who are sure of themselves and who won't waver just in order to tell people what they want to hear.



To Joe_Black...

There are people who show me no respect and as such do not have my respect either, and I'm not all that concerned with what those people think of me. What I do value is the opinion (good or bad) of people for whom I do have great respect. You are one such person, and as such I appreciate what you've said a great deal. Thank you! See ya tomorrow at the rallycross!
