Was just listening to Rush on the radio (sm)

Posted: May 14, 2014

A caller reminded him of the Nancy Reagan "Just Say No" cardboard signs that the media made sport of. How stupid, they said, you can't tell kids to just say no, they're gonna do it anyway. She was ridiculed for months. Fast forward to Michelle - what a great service she is doing for our country and for the world. Sickening hypocrite Democrats.

Rush Limbaugh? EWW. - nm

Mrs. Reagan experienced a lot of ridicule throughout the entire time she was first lady, but I will say this, she always handled everything with grace.

And with the help - of astrology

bless her heart.

Comparing apples to oranges let me - explain

Reagan's JUST SAY NO was not a blurb to BRING ATTENTION to the drug issue but instead was the main SOLUTION to the problem AS IF 'just saying no' was a resolution to anything. It's a typical 'don't have a clue' response and doesn't work.

ON THE OTHER HAND Michelle's action was simply to SHOW SUPPORT for an action and draw others into it. Her blurb in other words was NOT the solution.

most people who think about this can see the difference.

The people you describe in your last sentence are not members of - Rush's audience

No thinking effort required. They like to be told what to think. Just listen and recite.

Neither party has cornered the - market on hypocrisy IMO

Face it, if it was Rosalynn Carter who had the "Just Say No" cardboard sign and Ann Romney with the hashtag sign, you'd be beating a different drum.

Like most assumptions, this one is wrong - too.

I would applaud Ann Romney - as I have several times in the past - for using her status to DO THE RIGHT THING.

Some people can't stand it that Michelle took a very short time to say to the world : this should not stand. I'd be embarrassed to criticize her for that because it is very small!

As to Carter with the slogan? I would agree with the SLOGAN but would still see it as a simplistic approach to a complicated issue.

but yes hypocrisy exists in both parties.

You assumed I was directing my post - at you.

[ In Reply To ..]
Wrong.

I responded to the post that said - neither party has cornerned

[ In Reply To ..]
the market...

in which THAT poster assumed what the response would be if Anne Romney and R. Carter played the parts of Michelle and Nancy...

to other right-wing hosts including Michael Savage, Glenn Beck and Sean Hannity. This latest development is characterized by Radio-Info.com as "severe damage" to Limbaugh's broadcast. The significance of the 2-week "barter spots" suspension by Premier is unclear. So much for that couple-of-french-fries brush-off.

The radio station I listen to has a weekly "therapy" session where someone writes in with a problem. It is all in fun, but sometimes thought provoking, such as this week's question: Parents asked Son (age not given) to write his gift requests on paper. He only wanted an XBox. Of course, the most expensive model. Parents told Son they could not afford that, so he returned a blank sheet of paper to them and said if they did not get him that, he wanted nothing. Father thinks they should gr ...

morning? I was off today so tuned in in the car. He and Pat Gray, I think it was, were doing a parody of comments Obama "could have made" on E.T. They even had the E.T. music to go with it. It was hysterical.! When you really stop and think about it, it is kind of funny for him to choose E.T. to make his case rather than a liberal-biased station (it would have been so easy to choose one). Instead, he chose a little rinky-dink show to tout his littl ...

apparently off limits. In this 2007 video with a host who actually sympathizes with his political views, he takes a firm anti-abortion stance, no mention of when personhood begins though. No big scandal here, though; he obviously mainly thinks his faith wouldn't sell well and doesn't want to talk about it. "The clip, which according to news reports comes from a 2007 conversation the typically reserved GOP presidential candidate had with a conservative Iowa radio talk show ho ...

Savage is pretty unhappy with the betrayal of House and Senate reps willing to work with their colleagues across the aisle to tend the nation's business. As he explained to his 10 million listeners, "There is no Republican party. It's an appendage of the Democratic machine." At first when he suggested the ultra-negative tea partiers may have to form their own "nationalist" party under a "charismatic leader," I thought, great! Then some of these terms hit me. A party ...

As to the other poster, Mr. Boehner is refusing to allow a vote -therefore HE is currently holding the government ***. It certainly is not Obama who controls that vote.

a woman who pointed out about a Youtube video disproving the media over the mocking of a reporter's disability. The liberals jumped for joy with idea that he mocked this reporter and posted it all over the 'net as well as the news sites who picked up ONLY on the tiny piece of that video. So I decided to look for it. Hmmmm. She was right.

By Raw StoryMonday, January 18th, 2010 -- 4:00 pm For years, many Islamic clerics have been arguing that the US's war on terror is a "holy war" against Islam. Now, those critics of US foreign policy have more ammunition to argue their point.

with advancing women’s reproductive rights issues and the part he played in Sandra Fluke’s securing a plum speaker’s spot during Obama’s stump stop in Denver.

It was the women’s vote that put him over the top in that race, since Buck was one of those vocal opponents to abortion rights for rape and incest victims, a stance that may ha ...
