What is Digg?240 Comments
- cg4et, on 05/18/2008, -32/+216In fairness to Limbaugh, he is really used to operating on a 5th grade level, so a 10th grade essay is heady stuff indeed.
- chrissku, on 05/18/2008, -40/+137This guy eats pain killers like there M&M's, so nothing that comes out of his mouth surprises me.
- kdawg1012, on 05/18/2008, -31/+73I think the Supreme Court defined obscenity as something that "has no social redeeming value". Sounds like Rush Limbaugh to me.
- exomni, on 05/18/2008, -6/+44How about no. Just ignore Rush, like every sane, rational person has been doing for the last fifty-seven years.
- MindyB, on 05/18/2008, -30/+67This idiot Limbaugh should be the poster child for why education must be among this country's highest priorities. He is such a moron! and those listening to him are bigger morons.
- LightSpeed4, on 05/18/2008, -3/+35not only is this a dupe, it was on the top 5 of digg less than 24 hours ago
- donsmini92102, on 05/18/2008, -21/+51Is that really an old picture of the windbag? Check out the lapel pin.. who's the traitor now? He must have been trying to avoid service or impress women with his softer side. What a douche.
- monoa, on 05/18/2008, -1/+31I need pain killers when I read comments at Digg.
They're. There. Their. - jmpeagle, on 05/18/2008, -18/+42oh...limbaugh...you are a business genius because you essentially get your enemies to promote your show for free. There's been a story about this assclown every day on digg for at least the past 2 weeks and he's laughing all the way to the bank.
- inactive, on 05/18/2008, -11/+34This guy is an idiot and so is anyone who gives a damn about him including, in particular, anyone digging up articles about this fat moron. Get over it. He's feeding off of you.
- Arcan, on 05/18/2008, -1/+23Didn't get around to reading the article, huh?
- PhilLesh69, on 05/18/2008, -4/+24And his listeners have all barely graduated from High School, so a freshman essay probably does sound like Ivy League dissertations to them.
Not to mention, when it is "about the children", these dolts all get soft-hearted and think that they have to fall in line with whatever "the children" think.
Because they are all children, intellectually. - exomni, on 05/18/2008, -10/+28Nice paper for a 10th grader.
- Vironex, on 05/18/2008, -0/+14You mean 'cite'.
- arjie, on 05/18/2008, -0/+14Dude, what the ***** is 'hork hork'? Sounds like a goose.
- robdiggity, on 05/18/2008, -3/+16Stations such as Air America don't get any viewers. They get listeners.
- hartley, on 05/18/2008, -10/+23Hmmm, seems like most of the hate speech I see is right here.
- hikaruzero, on 05/18/2008, -1/+13what are you, some kinda commie? is peace suddenly un-American?
lol just kidding mate; satire, that's all. - goomba323, on 05/18/2008, -1/+12@jbenson
Is it that hard to believe that there are 20 million insane, irrational people in America?? - notoneofus, on 05/18/2008, -1/+11Couldn't be. He didn't type in all caps.
- dysfunction, on 05/18/2008, -0/+10The point is, the essay in question was written by a highschooler, and Limbaugh seems to think that by refuting it, he has struck a major blow against liberal economic thinking.
- inactive, on 05/18/2008, -1/+11"Classic Dailykos, Huffpo comment. "
So limbaugh _didn't_ rail against "druggies" only to be found a druggie, himself?
Or am I missing something? - inactive, on 05/18/2008, -8/+18Ruthless People Says:
OMG. Limpnuts was once a mustached sporting long haired hippie? - Norma156, on 05/18/2008, -10/+19And you guys say Republicans are hate mongers!
- latinjones, on 05/18/2008, -0/+9Here's one.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rush_limbaugh - 47f0, on 05/18/2008, -0/+9And yet - you utterly failed to do so. Like so many Obama-rippers, your reading comprehension is sub-par. The 10th grader wrote an essay that agreed with many of the views of the Obama campaign. It was your buddy Rush who was ripping "liberal economics", by attacking the essay.
- dysfunction, on 05/18/2008, -2/+11That's a really, really frightening sentiment. If you really believe that, you're no better than he is.
- SoulDrift404, on 05/18/2008, -0/+9I really can't imagine many people here on Digg that want to hear his crap, that don't already know where to listen to him. THerefore I doubt he's picking up much benefit from the "advertising."
- Terr01, on 05/18/2008, -1/+9Pfft, no. Rush is a blowhard, but I'm pretty sure that falls under fair use.
- allengeer, on 05/18/2008, -0/+8Go listen to the entire piece by Bill Hicks. It gets much worse.
- notoneofus, on 05/18/2008, -0/+7I don't have any problem with the sentiment, but if you're in a closet full of bees I doubt you'll think about anything but being stung by bees.
- PhilLesh69, on 05/18/2008, -1/+8Just goes to show you the level of intellectual discourse on the neocon circuit.
- DivisibleByZero, on 05/18/2008, -0/+7It's not plagiarism if you cite the source.
- GregoryHarbin, on 05/18/2008, -9/+16Just to play Devil's Advocate, but 10th grade isn't exactly childhood. I wrote some pretty substantive papers in high school. This guy is obviously parroting the leftist views that Rush despises, and he's using those ideas in his paper because that's what he was taught in school. Rush never claims that he's any sort of professor or scholar, just some guy with a paper on the Internet.
- PhilLesh69, on 05/18/2008, -1/+8Radio has had a very hard time getting viewers.
It seems that they are crippled by the fact that Radio is a largely auditory medium, and lacks a fundamental visual aspect. It seems that viewers tend to gravitate towards more visual mediums, like Television.
As it turns out, Radio tends to attract more listeners than viewers. - catfud, on 05/18/2008, -1/+7and there was no desk pounding
- A11YND, on 05/18/2008, -3/+9Buried for giving me the worst mental image ever.
- Terr01, on 05/18/2008, -3/+9Because some f***wits keep up a big echo chamber repeating that liberal talk radio doesn't get enough listeners?
- RedPhalanx, on 05/18/2008, -0/+6I hear there's rumors on them.
- SanTe, on 05/18/2008, -0/+6This is a Rush Limbaugh story, so why the Ron Jeremy thumbnail?
- DivisibleByZero, on 05/18/2008, -5/+11That's way worse than using a blog post written by a 10th grader....
- hartley, on 05/18/2008, -4/+10As a regular listener to the show, I can say this is 100% correct.
Despite what Rush says, he is not a conservative, he's a capitalist. - Clark3934, on 05/18/2008, -0/+5You could've used a more accurate headline; this one makes it sound like Rush plagiarized an essay or something.
"Limbaugh berates 10th grader's Great Depression Essay. Attacks Obama's politics." would have sufficed. - bobbles, on 05/18/2008, -0/+5It was written 12 years ago
- JayD16, on 05/18/2008, -0/+4The thing is, Rush was commenting on the leftward slant of college education. 10th grade is certainly not college.
- purelithium, on 05/18/2008, -0/+4You guys are idiots... he was making a joke. Look up something called Homonyms...
- SanTe, on 05/18/2008, -1/+5Ah yes, the mythical liberal elitist college professor. Why hold back, Herolint? Name names.
I don't buy it. Every time I see this tired B.S. rolled out it *never* is about a specific college professor. It's just used to deflect attention from whatever conservative windbag is talking out of his ass at the moment. The only name I ever hear is Noam Chomsky but he doesn't qualify according to your description since he a) does ***** tons of research and knows what he's talking about, b) has a firmer grasp of login than most people on the planet, and c) doesn't resort to name calling. Any insults originating from Chomsky are always well deserved in my opinion, and backed up by facts.
Name names, or can the lame liberal college professor argument already. It was hilarious for a while but now it's just really ***** old.
"A moron, in my opinion, is somebody who lets himself/herself get spoon fed an opinion by a college professor, whose touch with reality is greatly distorted by their tenure, and cannot accept contrary information in a logical way."
Why? Because he doesn't think like you do? - Drazzim12, on 05/18/2008, -0/+4http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6F7Q7BkAbCk
- rbk303, on 05/18/2008, -0/+4Yes! Long live Bill!
