- I would hope that you don't consider me as one of the ones who think

- Well, I listen to him for just about those exact reasons, and I suppose
- that this is a good time to ask whether you agree with Rush's explicitly
- stated opinion that liberalism is heinous, and that liberals are stupid
- for holding liberal opinions?
-

-
- Sorry to break this to you but the term Dittohead was not invented by
- liberals. Some of what Rush says *is* drivel, and highly inconsistent
- drivel to at that. At one point I can recall Rush speaking disparagingly
- of the theory of Evolution saying that he couldn't accept that humanity
- could have happened by accident, and yet in other instances I've heard
- Rush talking about the amount of time that mankind has been present on
- Earth and by gosh he's using dates and timelines lifted directly from
- Evolution.
-
- Essentially, when the "scientific facts" appear to support Rush, Rush
- supports the "facts", but when those "facts" appear to disprove his position
- he ridicules them and their originators.
-
- I'd also say that Rush could use a refresher course on world history.
-
- > Sorry, just needed to vent my spleen over these 'know-it-all' liberals.
-
- Consider this point; how many of the liberals posting here are just
- venting their spleens over their favorite 'know-it-all' conservative?
- ('Of course I've heard of it - that's why I'm the host...')
