I have been Stage IV Cancer going on 4 years and did not do chemo or any conventional medicine. I have a top-notch Oncologist but chose to go the natural route and haven’t looked back. I take no medication of any kind and wish Mr. Snow would visit my website. I have no advertisments on it.

Called the “Life and Times of a Simple Man”

I think he could benefit greatly and even beat this Cancer by strengthening what is his only hope of beating this insidious disease.
Doctors diagnose and treat, but they don’t cure anything. The IMMUNE SYSTEM does.

Back here on earth, an analyst is paid for the specific contributions they make in whatever field they are in. Rush, like Stern, is paid for how many troglodytes he can get to listen to him, not the content of what he says, pro or con. Period. That makes him an entertainer, like Larry King or Oprah Winfrey.

‘the NY Times does for the left’

Now I know this is from another solar system. This is the same paper that rah-rahed his Iraq blunder. It’s also the one that most wealthy, Repub NYers consult as their daily Bible. It’s not the SSJ- too many stats.

It’s always humorous when one tries to parallax extremist views, for only someone of the farthest fringes of the Right wd call the NYT Leftist.

However, unlike a decade ago, Rush is not at the top of the Right Wing echo chamber- folk like Coulter, Hannity and bow tie boy Carlson have long since eclipsed the old fat pill popper.

And Stern’s way funnier than Rush cd dream of being.

That’s Entertainment!

Before anyone jumps down my throat, I was also turned off by Frankenstein and friends on Air America, lol!

He’s also an analyst and commentator. (He says he’s ‘just an entertainer’. If you believe that, you might buy the Brooklyn Bridge.) His analysis often sets the talking points for the remainder of the day, much as the NY Times does for the left.

I agree with you that standards of morality, and civility, must be applied uniformly to all sides, if they’re to have any meaning at all.

I really don’t mean to sound harsh about peoples’ illnesses. That is not the point at all. I am just suggesting “don’t judge people,” especially on moral — much less spiritual — grounds, has to be a universal rule, or it’s none at all.

Tony was offering some personal thoughts, and his thoughts are commendable.

Ron Coleman has it right. Bashing Rush on this is a cheap shot, Joe.

Ron, Rush is in the entertainment business. Bill Buckley is in the political analysis biz.

Yet, that fact is why I agree with you that Calling Rush an insensitive lout is superfluous, cuz that’s what he strives to be, to be rich. It’s like calling Howard Stern an arrested adolescent. Yet, that’s why he’s even richer than Rush.

Results: high levels of decency, Limbaugh notwithstanding.

Rush is in the political analysis business. If you want flowers and hearts there’s Hallmark. Rush correctly reported that the liberal press correctly portrayed this unfortunate event as a positive for Edwards’s campaign. Was he wrong? No.

Did he really harm Mrs. Edwards’s emotional state? Hard to imagine. Is there a “decency” test? What exactly is that test?

Joe, if you were someone who regularly agreed with Rush Limbaugh, and said so, this would be a lot more interesting. Please link if you’re aware of someone who would usually agree with Rush who thinks he stepped over the line here. You linked to a quote on Media Matters from Keith Olbermann — wow, Olbermann thought Limbaugh was out of line. Shocking. Shocking.

All I see here is the easy shot, by which we show our grand humanity, and Tony Snow, God bless him, provides great support. But what’s the beef on Rush Limbaugh? He judged the Edwardses harshly? He dared suggest what’s in their hearts and souls?

And you, Joe?

But, Rush, on this Sunday perhaps it’s worth remembering:

And it’s unlikely God will say: “Ditto.�

Wow. I don’t even remember Rush Limbaugh actually declaring what God would think of the Edwardses!

But you — you’ve decided Rush’s eternal fate right here on a blog. Is it ventriloquism that gives you that power, or is it just the spiritual insight of “moderation”?

Must read….

Just as I’ve tried to imagine what goes on in Coulter’s head when the cameras and microphones are turned off. Do they see themselves as culture warriors of the right, where the ends justifies the means?
