For once, I agree with Allahpundit – at least he knows people with certain ideologies that are past their time.

What about his arrogance when getting those pill-popping Oxy charges reduced? Normally he would have been given the full 10 felony charges. Those charges would have stuck. He would have been sent to prison. Our nation would have been for the better.

20 millon mindless folk would have to listen to something else that wasn’t under attack.

Why is Barry running around in a panic anyway? He owns the House and the Senate! If he wants a vote all he has to do is call up Senator Harry Reid and demand one! They own the Senate! Barry is becoming pathetic…just like Rush predicted he would by the way!

Get back to work, Rush.

thegreatbeast on February 6, 2009 at 12:02 PM

I don’t think Rush’s job is to defeat liberalism. I think his life’s work was to hold the fort, and keep a message alive that was being buried. His hard work has spurned a whole host of imitators, some of whom aren’t half bad. If Rush went off the air tomorrow, because of his hard work, the drumbeat will live on. Rush isn’t indispensable any longer. That is his enduring success. I hope when the time is right, he finds a satisfying retirement.

But we have problem understanding why people claiming to be conservative criticize their message.

AMEN and well said… Any comment Allah?

I think that those of us who so strongly support Rush and Palin do so because of their strong conservative views. That does not mean we idolize them, we just respect them. If others who claim to be conservatives criticize them because they don’t like their personalities or don’t care for their style, than fine. But we have problem understanding why people claiming to be conservative criticize their message.

While I consider myself a Rush fan, I’ve had it up to here with the crapshoot that is his show. Any given day there is like a 50/50 chance that Rush will be in the studio. He has FU $ so he can do what he wants and he has some great opportunities that you & I can only dream about and he takes ‘em.
Listening to 20-30 minutes of his golf weekends or jetting about on his G5 followed by lectures on work ethics is just too much.
And the fact that all too frequently he plugs some generic white bread talk show host into the big chair is just all the more insulting.
Get back to work, Rush.

Interestly, your style of Republicanisam seems to be the reason we keep losing elections. The watered-down, wishy-washy, weak-knee’d, and to quote Rush “The Wussification” of our leadership. The refusal to “call out” RINO’s by name. I don’t cotten to that, I call it like I see it, and seems I hit a bit of a nerve… Calling out faux-Conservatives is not being mean or advisarial, it’s how to win elections and change America for the better, imho.

Maybe if you made the attempt from time to time to thread about Conservatives, hard core Conservatives with a tad bit lees disdaine, your friends here at HA would be less likly to attack. But 99.999% of your threads don’t do that…

You’ll find many, many “strong” conservatives at Free Republic, Lucianne, etc etc, too. It’s simply insane to patronize a site where you have contempt for the people writing for it. Branch out.

Allahpundit on February 6, 2009 at 11:13 AM

I visit all the sites mentioned and ManlyRash also, plus others. You act like it’s only me that has and has had issues with your attitude towards Rush and strong Conservatives. Maybe you should look back a bit at some of your Palin threads and others… Seems more of your readers agree with me then with you on Palin and Rush.

So when you and Ed use “attacks” against Rush or diminish his importance to “the cause” it will continue to draw fire from those of us here that “get it”, that understand the dangers posed by Obama and the far left. You rarely get on board with condemming The Messiah, instead you would rather water-down and big tent the Republican party. I think that is the exact wrong approach.

Simple, HotAir has many, many strong Conservatives. You Sir, just happen to not be one of them in my opinion.

Simple, HotAir has many, many strong Conservatives. You Sir, just happen to not be one of them in my opinion. But many of us here are and we have a deep understanding of why Republicans have lost and continue to lose elections. They have forgotten Reagan Conservatisam and failed to articulate, as Rush does, Conservative values and American Pride.

I thought the idea was to change peoples opinions with facts, points and discussions… Just because you can’t take the critics your answer is to ask us to leave? Nice.

“Discussions”? Calling me a “milquetoast, fair weather, pasty faced, sunshine ‘conservative’” isn’t a “discussion,” it’s just an insult. And I’m not silencing you; if I wanted to do that, I’d ban you. I’m merely pointing you to the free-market solution, which is to find a site that supplies the sort of blogging that meets your demand. The fact that you continue to patronize this one despite your contempt for me and Ed is mystifying.

Mark Garnett — Fri, 06 Feb 2009 16:02:25 +0000

Boo hoo. I can’t believe I still have to point this out to people: If you don’t like the site, don’t read it. There are hundreds of right-wing blogs out there. Find one that you like and stick with it.

Comments like this speak volumes about your own self-image. I don’t think I’m so smart and clever; I just don’t think Palin or Limbaugh are god, or that they’re human yardsticks for the correct position on every issue. Don’t be so paranoid or put-upon.

Allahpundit on February 6, 2009 at 10:05 AM

Allah, you run a great web site and for that I am thankful. But my comment stands.

For the record, I don’t think Limbaugh or Palin are gods. Just damn good people – real, very real Americans. You know, the type you like to deride.

One can speak powerfully without yelling and calling names. If you can come up with an example of such behavior persuading anyone to his cause, I am happy to listen and reconsider. And, McCain did not lose because he was too “nice.”

Rush has more common sense in his pinky toe than the libwit party has in it’s entire biomass.

Ditto’s to Rush…. Fight the good fight for conservatism.

Obama is now showing what an empty suit he is…. poor Rahm Emanuel making the same mistakes he made in the Clinton administration. Maybe he needs conservative Republicans to save his ass again.

They voted for Obama and they don’t like Rush challanging their dicision. Especially, now that they see it is true. Those who dislike Rush voted for Obama, or stayed home believing Obama wouldn’t keep his campaign promises.

Those people crapped on themselves and don’t like it being rubbed in.

Allah. One of those milquetoast, fair weather, pasty faced, sunshine “conservatives.” Too sophisticated for the red meat crowd. Too ironic to appreciate Sarah or Rush. Oooooooh, you’re sooooooo smart and clever. Much much smarter than us rubes in the hinterland.

Rush is defended because Rush is the everyman enlarged and made eloquent. … When they attempt to silence or intimidate Rush, they silence and intimidate me! That’s why he’s supported the way he is.
