I just caught Rochelle Riley’s blog at Freep.com. While Rochelle and I don’t share the same political views, we do share decency. Just like I would never wish death on Keith Olbermann, Chris Matthews, or Rachel Maddow and the rest of the wacky liberals I post about, she wishes no harm to the beloved Rush Limbaugh. In fact, she states it should stop. I am reposting her blog and today calling her a liberal with class. Here’s Riley’s blog with a few comments thrown in by yours truly!
Stop Wishing Rush Limbaugh Dead
This is when we know we're losing America. (I agree, we no longer celebrate free speech when we hope purveyors of free speech die.)
People have been wishing that a loudmouth who's free to speak would die.
Visiting the blogosphere following the news that talk-radio king Rush Limbaugh was rushed to a hospital with chest pains in Honolulu was like walking into a bar at 2 a.m. on New Year's Day, where only the rowdiest and drunkest remain.
I won't repeat any of the garbage here, but c'mon folks! Hateful rhetoric is for the political battles. It's for the blog wars. It's for CNN and radio waves. It is for manic arguments about universal health care and whether President Obama is doing a good job.
It is not to throw at people when they're down -- even someone like Limbaugh.
Yes, he has crossed the line before. He's made us mad as hell. (We are proud of Rush for it, although I disagree he has crossed a line, we can leave that debate for another day Ms. Riley.) But as he recovers in a hospital in Honolulu, where he was vacationing when he was stricken, America gives Rush Limbaugh the right to the same freedom of speech that I have, even if his speech makes my heart hurt.
Shame on anyone who wants the match between Limbaugh and the many who oppose him to be called on a technical knock-out. I'd rather he get back in the ring and eventually suffer an intellectual one.(You are welcome here to battle with your intellect Ms. Riley.)
To have America means having the Rush Limbaughs of the world. Stop wishing death on democracy. (As I have said before, that means have Rachel Maddow too. In fact, we all should feel a little sorry for Maddow for investing so much of her time and money at Oxford and having so little to show for it.)
Ms. Riley, you showed class today when many liberals proved they are intolerant, hateful, and mean. It’s funny they think they can get away saying the things about Rush they did and avoid looking in the mirror, isn’t it? To prove my sincerity Ms. Riley, I wished Bryant Gumbel well wishes on this blog as news came out about his lung cancer.
Well said, Bill ... more proof that liberals have nothing! They can't even keep themselves on-topic. Their hatred is all they have right now, and it makes them look very ugly. All of these things they have brought upon themselves. What a sad legacy!
ReplyDeleteBill,
ReplyDeleteYou said "...the beloved Rush Limbaugh". This speaks of your character as Rush Limbaugh can not do a single three hour program without injecting many sexual references and calling people he disagrees with childish names. This is what you love? What has happenes to our society when we are subjected to these childish examples of people that we look to for guidance? Where is the respect? I realize others do these things as well but Limbaugh is the worst of the lot. You can brag about him all you want but he is as trashy as they come. It amazes me that so many follow him when he has that kind of mentality, just like the WWE "rasslers", it's all fake.
Greg Scott
Mr. Scott,
ReplyDeleteI will remind you what the great Ronald Reagan said about politics.
"It has been said that politics is the second oldest profession. I have learned that it bears a striking resemblance to the first."- Ronald Reagan
Maybe that's what is really offensive to you and you just haven't caught on yet. Honestly, I think you must have Limbaugh confused for Howard Stern.
Mr. Bill,
ReplyDeleteRush claims to be a Christian Conservative so as you say he is your "beloved" I would guess that you are also. Do you believe that your quote from Ronald Reagan frees you of your duties as a Christian to make silly excuses for Rush Limbaugh's childish and sick behaviour?
Greg Ellison
Instead of telling us Rush is a sick pervert like you imply, why don't you give us examples. All I have heard in recent weeks is Rush commenting on how people like Ben Nelson and Mary Landrieu selling their votes for special favors is the equivilent of political prostitution, and I listen to all 15 hours of Rush each week. So, instead of pointing fingers Greg, back it up. That's one thing I do know about people who don't like the right--they love to point fingers but can't back it up. Dear Leader Obama is the perfect example. Please, back up your claims. The Ditto Heads wait...
ReplyDelete@G, r u f'n serious? if u want to see sex used for political gain blame peta no rush.
ReplyDeleteMr. Bill,
ReplyDeleteDon't dodge the question. Rush claims to represent the Christian Conservative Movement. Are you a Christian Conservative? If the answer is yes, then as a Christian you should condemn Rush for his use of sexual references.
Just a few of many quotes from childish Rush Limbaugh:
* "Bend over and grab the ankles"
* "Undersexretary"
* "Misconscrewed"
* "Little Dick Durbin"
* "Little Dick Gephart"
* "Wacoff, rhymes with"
He must mention the word penis or vagina at least once a week.
I could go on and on and if you listen to Rush every day you already know this and are showing your true ignorane by claiming you don't.
I see "Anonymous" is also hiding as a "Christian Conservative" Ha!
Greg Scott
Oh my! Their names are Dick, and both men are very little and petty in my opinion. I have searched on whether it's a sin to joke about sex. I couldn't find anything in the scripture that makes joking about sex a sin.
ReplyDeleteOn the other hand you seem very judgemental of some lighthearted words that are far less threatening than some of the words I have heard said about other politicians, especially during the Bush administration.
While I was searching for scriptures to justify your point, I did find this one. Judge not but yet be judged. Maybe you should think about that before pushing your views on Christianity into this argument. Of course this is assuming you are a Christian yourself, and if you aren't then you obviously just have a bone to pick.
As for your claim about penis or vagina, I still wonder where you are getting this from.
Mr. Bill,
ReplyDeleteI am a Christian and a Conservative and it gauls me to see so-called Christian Consevatives professing to be so when their actions prove differently. Your attempt to hide Rush Limbaugh's sexual comments and childishness only adds to your silliness.
Your rules posted above the comment box clearly state "Name calling and off-color comments will not be tolerated" yet "Anonymous"'s comment "@G, r u f'n serious?" was allowed to stand. Thank you for PROVING me right about you and Rush Limbaugh and your kind. Your kind is exactly what has ruined the consevative party and why they can no longer demand respect.
I would suppose that I am about to lose my Freedom Of Speech on your blog as usually happens when blog owners start to feel intimidated or embarrassed by their own words.
Greg Ellison
You are a typical judgemental Christian that is obviously missing many points in the Bible. I would work on that if I were you. You obviously want to be proved right about your judgements. Be careful not to let your pride get the best of you.
ReplyDeleteYou want to come on here and criticize the actions of multiple Christians including me, while your actions show inconsistencies with the scripture. I repeat judge not but yet be judged.
Greg,
ReplyDeleteYou act as if God had something to do with words you find offensive. Words like the F word were quite common, and in case you aren't aware, the f word means Fornication Under Command of the King. There's a scene in Braveheart that refers to the order.
It was Victorian society that decided these words weren't acceptable in society, not God. Relax dude!
Mr. Bill and Brian,
ReplyDeleteThose words are offensive and unnessesary to discuss politics and your defense of them is ridiculous. Anyone using that type of monologe does not care about the well being of the United States of America, only about their ratings. Do you hear those words on the serious Sunday News Shows? No, you don't. Wake up for the parties sake!
Greg Ellison
Come on Greg, you are starting to look silly. First off, if Rush used the words you say he does, there would be serious fines from the FCC. Number two, Rush isn't a Sunday News Show. They are two different things. Rush is an entertainer who talks about issues of the day.
ReplyDeleteSecondly, there are far worse issues in this country right now than debating whether or not words, that you claim are said on the radio, are acceptable or not.
Mr. Bill,
ReplyDeleteYou claim you listen to Rush every day. If that is true then you know he uses these words. I don't make things up. Thank you for admitting that "Rush is an entertainer...". Now you are getting somewhere. Don't you think your time would be better served in support of a serious journalist instead of an entertainer? Reagan was also an "entertainer" but he gave that up when he entered politics, right? Rush could learn something from Reagan instead of using him as an excuse as he does.
I see that you run your blog just as Rush would. You don't show my post until you have already responded to it. Control everyone's opionion with your own response, Nifty!
Later,
Greg Ellison
Rogersville, Mo
Greg,
ReplyDeleteNow I feel like I am wasting my breath. Your posts get posted, and I imediately respond to them. What's your point.
Greg, do me a favor, and pull of all the FCC violations Rush has for his use of language. Please when you get them, post them with a link backing up the language you claims he uses. That will prove your point if the records exist.
If you don't like Rush, then don't listen to KWTO. It's not like KWTO is going to care.
This country is in a real mess, and you are wasting your energy worried about words on the radio that don't exist.
All of this makes me wonder what you say when you hit your finger with a hammer. Is it shit or shoot? Seriously, what difference is there in the two words. Given the circumstance, one just replaces the other because society tells you one word is more accpeptable then the other. Yet the meaning is the same.
No one denied that he uses the word Dick. Of course they are peoples names. Little Dick Durbin. Little Dick Gephardt, my gosh, if they bother you so much turn off your radio. Why are you taking so much time worried about what Rush says? If God has a problem with what Rush says then Rush will face God, NOT GREG ELLISON of Rogersville, MO, on judgement day.
Mr. Bill,
ReplyDeleteYou have obviously missed my entire point or else you are pretending to. Rush Limbaugh has caused the downfall of the conservative party by his use of these words and his childish actions as an entertainer instead of focusing on proof that would be creditable to denouce liberals. He is laughed at by most people and only preaches to his choir of followers which you appear to be one. As a true conservative you must first admit that the "mess" started with GW. I bet you won't. You seem to be more of a radical than a common sense conservative.
Greg Ellison
No I got your point, and I expect you to go off on Sarah Palin sometime in the near future as well. Rush Limbaugh didn't cause the downfall of the conservative party, which I am going to assume you are referring to as the Republican party. The Republican party met their downfall because they became big spenders and stepped away from the Constitution. Guess what they are running back to as we speak.
ReplyDeleteYou agree he's an entertainer in one breath and in the next you claim he brought down an entire party. I got your point, and I think you are wrong. Accept it. You aren't going to change my mind.
Rush has opened up conversations in this country that were once quieted due to the control of the main stream media. A failure he is not!
Mr. Bill,
ReplyDeleteYou don't get it. Rush is a huge success because of people like you that think he is great. I meant the "Conservative Party" not the Republicans. He has ruined the "Conservative Party"! I can see there is no hope for you. Sarah Palin is a waste of consevative money and time. We need real conservatives that do not have personel agendas as Rush and Sarah do. Since when do we, as true conservatives, respect a Governor that quits her job so she can sign a multi-million dollar book deal and start a run for president. What has happen to your morals and common sense?
Accept that!
Our forefathers would have been embarrassed and humiliated by Rush Limbaugh's childish speech pretending to represent them and their words. To prove my point, if Rush had the opportunity to speak in front of them today he would never use the language he does now, right?
Greg Ellison
So now you, claiming to be a Christian, is judging me on my morals? Excuse me, but I don't think we have ever met.
ReplyDeleteNumber one, there isn't a "conservative party." There is a party the represents most conservatives and it tends to be the Republican party in recent American history.
I am calling you out. I don't believe any of your claims. You sound like a troll spouting off good little talking points hand signed by David Axelrod himself, which is what I suspected since you started this conversation.
You ignore key scriptures in the Bible which I have called you on. You haven't produced any of the evidence I asked for. I have been more than nice giving you a chance to prove your point. You have not. You have just rambled on and on ignoring what I have asked for. I have been more than nice allowing you an attempt to prove your statement. You still have not produced the FCC records I asked for hours ago.
Rush is great, that's why he made it. He has great communication skills and understands what it takes to make it in radio. It has nothing to do with me. If he babbled on like you do making clueless accusations, he would be irrevlevent just like Greg Elison of Rogersville, Missouri.
In terms of Sarah Palin, the lawsuits brought against her, which were politically motivated and she came away from unscathed were distracting her from her job as well as costing the state of Alaska money. There is a lot more to it than your simpleton view.
@ Greg
ReplyDeleteToo funny, you attack Rush's use of free speech and then invoke the founding fathers? Too funny, too funny!
While the founding fathers of this country were great men, they weren't exactly saints either. My gut feeling is they would rather have a Sam Adams with Rush Limbaugh than Barack Obama.
You seem to forget part of the American revolution was fought because of a tax on rum--booze. You know the same founding fathers you speak of were protesting taxes on rum. Do the fact these men drank rum make them any lesser in God's eyes? Cheers!
Mr. Bill,
ReplyDeleteI am an American first and foremost. We must unite to save this great county of ours. Rush Limbaugh is a divider. He is not "great" as you say. We must wake up and forget about all of the nonsense spewed by Rush Limbaugh and realize that we must pull together, all of us, and take control of this country or we will be taken over by others due to our faltering economy and lack of organization between men, all men. Bin Laden recognized this many years ago and said we would be our own downfall. Rush is just making sure Bin Laden is right by deviding the good people of the UNITED States of America.
It's been UNreal,
Greg Ellison
www.theellisoncollection.com
No one called you unAmerican Greg. For the time you have spent trying to prove a point that you can't prove, and I have asked for the evidence and you still avoid presenting it, you could have explained why certain things the federal government is doing is actually divisive, but you would rather focus on Limbaugh the less of the two. It seems to me that's easy for you, but getting into the Federalist Papers and the Constitution takes time. You are unreal Sir. If you were worried about the divide in this country you would start at the Constitution and your own Senator Claire McCaskill who divides, or Ben Nelson and Mary Landreiu who accepted payments for their votes. Rather you want to focus on a radio personality. Your vision of the country seems quite small. You have wasted so much energy, and you have proven any of your major points. Still waiting for the FCC documents.
ReplyDeleteOr here's one for you. Have you seen the picture of Harry Reid flipping the bird? Do you even know who he is considering your whole world seems to revolve around words Limbaugh doesn't say? What about all the members of Congress who avoid their constituencts like the plague in fear of more town hall anger? Talk about divisive, but you have Limbaugh to blame. It's easy for you, and considering your from Missouri, you probably need others to show you these things before you buy into it, just like somebody probably showed you something about Rush--I bet it was a forwarded e-mail or something that you were shown. You probably don't even listen to the show.
Mr. Bill,
ReplyDeleteThis blog is about Rush Limbaugh, so don't act like I am limited to one subject. I am staying on subject. The FCC has nothing to do with my points. I gave you some examples and you refuse to research them and as I said, if you listen everyday you already know that Rush uses foul language everyday. I don't codone anyone using that childish language when discussing a serious issue such as our national security, it cheapens the debate. Nearly all politiians get by-outs. That is a fact so stop crying about that. Help fix that problem by realizing that Rush is a big part of the "rassler/soap opera" mentality that he has created over the past twenty years.
Help bring dignity back to our country. Rush has helped us to lose our dignity.
Greg Ellison
I have you running Greg. You said Rush says all these horrible words on the air, and I said prove it suggesting that you can go to the FCC's Web site and show proof through fines and what he said. Now you are running from it acting like I changed the story. I want proof of the words you say Rush says on the air that are so horrible, and you won't provide any. Yet you continue on your rant.
ReplyDeleteIf he says the foul words you claim, then there would be a record of those words at the FCC.
Yet nothing you have said helps solve the true divide in this country. I also don't hear you say a word about Chris Matthews, Keith Olbermann, or Rachel Maddow.
Mr. Bill,
ReplyDeleteRush has taught you well and that isn't something to be proud of. I said that Rush makes childish, name calling remarks and uses sexual comments everyday on his show. That is a fact. You say you listen to his show everyday. You already know the phrases that I am referring to but act as if you don't. I can't argue with that kind of stupidity. Keep up the good work of supporting the man that is causing the demise of the consevatives.
At least you didn't block my post, I'll give you that one.
Thanks,
Greg Ellison
Seriously Greg, grow up. If it bothers you that much, turn it off. There are far worst things said these days on network television including Adam Lambert finger banging a dancer shortly after his display of S&M of two male dancers on the American Music Awards. I suggest you take your frustrations there.
ReplyDeleteI also notice you have a fascination for Jesse James, since you left your Web site address in your post, as well as Abrahm Lincoln. First off, I wonder how many off-color comments James said as he robbed people.
As I scanned your Web site, I also noticed you promote historical images of Abraham Lincoln on your blog. Want to talk about a threats to our Republic, Lincoln is nearly tops the list. Political prisoners, the removal of Habeas corpus laws, and the denial of states’ rights are what defined Lincoln, and yet you promote his image on your Web site. Lincoln was for more destructive to this country than Rush Limbaugh could ever imagine being.
You are the self-righteous type, aren't you Greg? Your only argument is because it's right for you it must be right for everyone else on the right. You are as intolerant as any liberal.
ReplyDeleteMr. Bill,
ReplyDeleteOnce again, you don't get it. I collect antique historical images. How you equate that to me agreeing with that persons politics and actions is beyond me.
It does no good for me to "turn it off" when people like you hold Rush up as your god. That is what I am trying to get through your head. It is useless I know. Adam Lambert makes me sick, we agree on that. Matter of fact, I think we probably agree on many things. I just don't like lowering our standards and ruining our credibility all over a few talk show host and their demented way of expressing themselves. The prime example would be Glen Beck, a name you have not thrown as yet. Another would be Jericho. I see that he bit the dust. He spent the last few months calling up arms agaist the President of the United States of America. I would say that would cause someones demise, wouldn't you? I have respected every president as they are our president, elected by the majority, like it or not. Be an American first!
Take care,
Greg Ellison
The thing about history and Lincoln is promoting anything that has to do with Lincoln without acknowledging the truth comes across as dishonest to me. Images of Lincoln, as posted on your Web site, need to have the harsh reality of who Lincoln was attached to them. It's a similar argument to you attacking me for listening to Rush Limbaugh. So you don't agree with him. So what? Does it really matter? Because I listen to Rush, you automatically have me agreeing with all of his politics, yet you claim that because I turned it around on you, it's beyond you.
ReplyDeleteWhile you seem to have blind faith in the office of the president as you throw out your repsect, I served in the military. The first item in the oath that a soldier takes for enlistment is support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies foreign in domestic. When that enemy happens to be the president, which it is and Obama isn't the only guilty party, the respect for the president should be thrown out the door and you should demand your Constitution be restored.
If Vincent David Jericho, who I have written about negatively on this blog, lost his job because he challened the President, then America is no longer America. I didn't like Jericho because he was too self-righteous like you. I am sure you know the commerical that some caller strokes his ego attacking Rush and Hannity. Heck that may have been you until the last few months for all I know.
You see, the Constitution of the United States is far more important than any man or woman who holds the office. You can respect Obama all you want. Good for you. My allegiance and respect goes to the founding fathers and the document that secures our liberty and freedom known as the Constitution. We have a responsibility in the Second Amendement to defend the Constitution against any form of oppression. If Jerocho was discussing raising arms in this light, good for him. He gets the Second Amendment.
The bottom line is, I still don't understand why you care what I listen to. It's a free country. I really don't care about what you listen to. You might be a closet Adam Lambert fan for all I know, and I could care less. Why are you harassing me for making a choice in a free country to listen to what I want to listen to? You are unAmerican in doing so, and you are unAmerican for trying to make the case I am unAmerican for practicing my freedoms. Don't put up these be an American first claims when you want to criticize my choice of engaging in free speech. It's disgraceful!
I think Greg Scott protests too much. To avoid offense my unsolicited advice to Mr. Scott is either change the radio channel or stop reading the blog as the sum total of his input at BBCW has him coming across as a flaming troll with zero credibility.
ReplyDeleteGreg Scott:
ReplyDeleteI'm with Red...change the station!!! I'm sure there are conservative radio shows without the sexual references you abhor. Find one!
As Christians, we are still not without sin, but Christ is our Savior and paid the price for those sins. You may see Rush's language as a sin or Bill's acceptance of such as a sin, but you, sir, are guilty of the sin of being judgmental. It's not your place.
Btw...if you believe sex is a sin for Christians, why do so many churches have couples' retreats that touch on the subject of intimacy???
Mr. Bill,
ReplyDeleteYou still don't get it. I didn't attack you for listening to Rush Limbaugh. I don't give a hoot who you listen to and follow as followers do. All I am saying is I fail to understand how you can take Rush Limbaugh seriously, as you do, as he is your "beloved". You admit he is an entertainer. He is only here to entertain you and his "rassler/soap opera" mentality does that. Great! Have fun!
Greg Ellison
You don't give a hoot, then why don't you let it be. I listen to Rush Limbaugh. Big frickin' deal! Rush is right on many things, sometimes Rush doesn't even take himself seriously and has fun at his own expense. You are the one making it a bigger deal that what it is.
ReplyDeleteGuess what. I am an entertainer too. I realize there has to be an element in this blog that entertains and makes people want to come back. You talk as if that's a bad thing.
Guess what, Barack Obama is an entertainer too. It's part of the trade. Every since Nixon decided not to wear makeup on TV, the office you respect has had an element of Hollywood, and this was long before Reagan. So what?
In terms of 'soap opera' mentality, you rant proves you are the one that thrives on conflict, and it's evident in your persistence. You obviously thrive from this drama or you would just let it go.
I am going to listen to what Rush Limbaugh says because I really don't care what Greg Ellison has to say about him. That's what you don't get.
Mr. Bill,
ReplyDeleteThanks for proving my point!
Greg Ellison
Whatever! Regardless of what you say about Rush, issues like the global warming scam is far more dangerous to our Republic, and the irreverence you complain about that comes from Limbaugh's mouth, is the same mouth that fammiliarized millions with the coming scam years ago and prepared us for it. Just that alone was a great service by Rush Limbaugh, and proves his rhetoric is more credible than you want to give him credit for.
ReplyDeleteOf course, you aren't ever going to waive on this, because you are right, right Mr. Ellison? You are right, and no matter how silly your arguments are, you are going to continue down your path pissing people off with your preachy style.
By the way, may I ask if this is the only blog post on BBCW you have commented on. I don't believe it is, but can you confirm that?
ReplyDeleteMr. Bill,
ReplyDeleteI was done with this but I thought I should answer your last question. The post I have made on this subject are the only post I have ever made on your blog. I hadn't even heard of you or your blog until I began searching for information on Jericho's demise a few days ago. I give you my word on that as an American Citizen. I do not know how I or anyone could confirm that. You come up with some strange accusations, I'll give you that.
Greg Ellison

Greg Ellison
I thought you were done too. And you accuse me of making strange accusations? Oh lord, look at what Mr. Ellison left behind on this page!
ReplyDeleteMr. Bill,
ReplyDeleteNo accusations on my part. Just because you won't admit to my comments doesn't make them accusation. I spoke the truth. You are just like Rush, you twist everything to fit your agenda. As I said, he taught you well.
Greg Ellison
Your whole argument is the accusation that Rush Limbaugh is a foul-mouthed radio host. By the way, I thought you were done.
ReplyDeleteMr. Bill,
ReplyDeleteRush Limbaugh is a foul-mouthed radio host, that is a fact! I gave you a few examples, and there are many more, but you refuse to accept that truth. I can't help you with that error in your logic so I am apparently wasting my time with you.
Greg Ellison
LOL, your comments get crazier. Kurt Warner quarterbacked the Arizona Cardinals and the St. Louis Ram to the Super Bowl. That's a fact. Greg Ellison says Rush Limbaugh is a foul-mouthed radio host is an opinion. Hate to burst your bubble in your quest to be arrogantly correct! What is considered foul-mouthed to you, may not take on the same meaning for others. You are just laughable at this point Greg.
ReplyDeleteMr. Bill,
ReplyDeleteRush is foul-mouthed no matter how you try to spin it and I gave you proof of it. You are now the one looking silly with your comments when the proof is there for anyone to see. I'm not the one that has tried to change the subject, you are. All you and your buddies want to do is try to demean me for stating those facts. You guys need to grow up and join the real world. You preach to the choir and that does nobody any good, except for the choir that already believes the nonsense. You need to look outside of your "Rush Limbaugh" box.
Greg Ellison
I am just laughing at this point.
ReplyDeleteMr. Bill,
ReplyDeleteGo ahead and laugh. That is just another trick you learned from Rush. The more you talk the more you prove me right. I've listened to Rush for 20 years and he used to say he would never give away his secret. I always said his secret was that he laughs at everybody else. He finally admitted it on the air one day about five years ago. You're just following your leader like a sheep.
Greg Ellison
Still laughing at the fact you are trying to claim your opinion is a fact.
ReplyDeleteHey Greg don't forget Rush returns to the golden EIB microphone today. I know you won't want to miss it.
ReplyDeleteBrian,
ReplyDeleteRush's foul-mouth aside, he failed miserably today trying to defend the comments he made when leaving the hospital, and he new it. He was there for two days, had no surgeries and his bill was over twenty thousand dollars, after a 30% discount for paying on release, yet he tried to claim anyone could afford that. What happen to his logic? That is a minor hospital stay. What if he HAD been sick?If he had surgery and a prolonged stay his bill would have been well over a hundred grand. He seems to think, wrongly, that because a family has an SUV that it equates to paying their hospital bill no matter how large it is. He fails to understand that they must have a car to go to work to make their income. It was silly for Rush to make that argument when he is wealthy and does not realize the obvious. Someone should ask him how easy that bill would have been for him to pay when he was between jobs and broke as many are today thanks to Bush and his "everybody will own a home" policies. He was no conservative just as Rush isn't! Rush is just selfish. Par for the course with Rush!
Greg Ellison
Greg, I thought you were done spewing your opinions five or six posts ago. You are apparently a one-dimensional type of guy Greg. Does your wife enjoy your hateful obbsession with Limbaugh?
ReplyDeleteMr. Bill,
ReplyDeleteYou are now showing your true, honest side. You keep asking me questions but now childishly say "I though you were done spewing your opinions five or six posts ago." That's what usually happens when a poster doesn't have an answer in reponse to a post. I didn't mean for it to be that tough for you.
Since you went there, does you wife enjoy your childish stupidity?
Greg Ellison
You are a little touchy. I just know your words don't mean much. You said you were done, and you keep coming back for more.
ReplyDeleteWhat childish stupidity are you referring to? Oh that's right, I am a child because I listen to Rush, and he uses language you think is offensive. Yet, we know you continue to listen to him no matter how offensive you find it, because as you said, you thought his explanation of his treatment was a miserable failure. So the question is are you a hypocrite who tells the world that Rush Limbaugh offends you, yet even offended you tune in, and then tell everyone else they shouldn't listen. You are a complicated man Mr. Ellison.
Mr. Bill,
ReplyDeleteGet real. I have never told you that you shouldn't listen to Rush. I have said you shouldn't fall for his nonsense. There is an old saying that I follow and it has served me well, "Keep your friends close and your enemies closer." Have you forgotten the subject of your own blog? I would think the owner of the blog could stay away from cheap shots but I guess not. Re-read your blog and see who got off subject and made off topic comments and accusations, you and the others.
Greg Ellison
I am very sure that you claimed Rush Limbaugh hurts conservatives and I am no different because I listen to him and promote him. What's the difference.
ReplyDeletePerhaps the cheap shots are the hope that you will go on your way because I don't believe any thing really coming out of your mouth. I think you are a troll who probably doesn't lean right truth be told.
Mr. Bill,
ReplyDeleteI see how you are now. The choir is all you want posting here. An opposing conservative view only disrupts your agenda driven blog. Happy, Happy, Joy, Joy.
I'll leave you with that and the fact that you never addressed my comments on Rush today. I wouldn't try to defend him either if I were you.
Greg Ellison
I only want the chior posting here? I have dozens of comments from you that proves that wrong. You continue to act like your self-righteous attitude is suddenly goign to change my mind. It's not.
ReplyDeleteI have this picture of Greg Ellison sitting in front of his computer turning red with smoke coming out of his ears when he reads the replies to his comments. All because he believes what is right for him in terms of langauge is a factual for all. I'm bored Greg, surely this is getting old on your side.
Your opposing conservative view doesn't bother me. The fact that you want to call your opinion a fact, well, that's just plain silly. You have wasted a lot of time defending calling your opinion a fact, when all you had to do was go to Websters and stop this nonsense.

Mr. Bill,
ReplyDeleteAnyone using logic and commom sense can see who won this argument and it wasn't you.
Webster's definition: Fact: an actual occurrence
Just a few of many quotes from childish Rush Limbaugh as I mentioned above and these are FACTS!:
* "Bend over and grab the ankles"
* "Undersexretary"
* "Misconscrewed"
* "Little Dick Durbin"
* "Little Dick Gephart"
* "Wacoff, rhymes with"
Greg Ellison
Sorry Greg, but I don't find those words offensive. Therefore it's your opinion they are offensive, not a fact they are offensive. But hey thanks for going to the dictionary, even if you still don't understand the difference between a fact and an opinion.
ReplyDeleteMr. Bill,
ReplyDeleteI can't believe I have to explain this simple logic to you. It is your opinion if you don't find them offensive. Your opinion is not my opinion and proves nothing. I never said they were offensive. I said that Rush uses them and that is a FACT because he does.
As a Christian, what does "Bend over and grab the ankles" mean to you? I know what it means to everyone else in the world but apparently it doesn't mean that to you, as a Christian, as you are not offended by it. Please enlighten me with your CONSERVATIVE WISDON.
Greg Ellison
What are you smoking Greg? Your whole rant has been about language you find offensive.
ReplyDeleteWhat does bend over and grab the ankles mean to me? It means I am about to get taxed hard. Get over it. The federal government is stealing money from the people and they are preparing to steal more. You can say it nicely if you want, but that hasn't been effective in the past.
Frankly, I am cutting you off. You said you were done commenting days ago, yet when I go to check my stats, I notice the ATT ISP from Springfield on this particular day many times during the day. You have an addiction problem and perhaps you need counseling.
Your arguments arne't going to change many peoples' minds, and you are wasting your time.
Mr. Bill,
ReplyDeletePar for the course when you don't have answers. Another Concervative limiting Freedom of Speech. Jericho also got his Freedom of Speech limited by his own party, the party that claims Freedom of Speech so often! I'll mention this on my blog!
Greg Ellison
Go for it. Funny I have never heard of your blog. I don't think I have to worry about much. Do you really think you can make the case I have LIMITED your speech? Anyone who reads this will laugh at even the suggestion of that. Be sure you send them over here so they can see the limits I put on your speech. All three dozen comments-unedited as you attempt to redefine the word 'fact.' You are a silly man!
ReplyDeleteNow more than ever, I beleive you are a troll and not who you claim to be.
Mr. Bill,
ReplyDeleteI was refering to your comment that you were cutting me off. I guess you changed your mind after reading my reply to that comment. Good for you.
I am not a troll. This is the only thread of yours that I have posted on. I live by Linden. What part of Ozark do you live in. We might be neighbors.
You fail to realize that my comments here were to question why you believe everything Rush says even tough he calls people names and make nasty comments when discussing serious subjects. The Conservatives need to wake up and realize this only demeans us. You are the one that kept changed the subject to Rush. I was talking about you. I am trying to SAVE the Conservatives. Why don't you join me in that and stop the nonsense.
Start at the top and read my post and you will see this is true.
Greg Ellison
I know what comment you were referring to. I get your rhetoric and what you are trying to do. You are a bully debator, which I don't mind. What I do mind is how you mistake fact for opinion? Just like now you are labeling me a minion of Limbaugh. If you read my featured blogs, the are deeply rooted in the Constitution and the Federalist Papers. Rush doesn't really touch on this stuff. I wish he would. That blows you next accusation out of the water. You accuse me believing everything Rush says. While your focus is on Rush, you waste your time. The real threat to this country is Obama. You have wasted a lot of your time, focused on Rush when you could be using your energy to defeat the Obama agenda. If you are truly a conservative, your real interest would be securing our country as a Constitutional Republic. You are too worried about a 'harmless little fuzzball' because either your not really a conservative, or you have bought into biased left-wing media polls claiming Rush is bad for Repubicans. You forget the key word there is Republicans--not exactly the most conservative bunch or people these days.
ReplyDeleteMr. Bill,
ReplyDeleteLet's call a truce. You call me a "bully debater" for arguing my stance. That is fine if that is your opinion of me. I call you "childish" for trying to demean my comments by saying "what are you smoking", "I thought you were through posting" and "smoke coming out of his ears". Those comments are deaming to you as you are representing yourself as a serious conservative but yet you lose respect with those type comments just as Rush does. Then you want to talk Constitution and Federalist Papers, right?
I thought this blog was FOR discussion, is it not? You invite discussion, right?
Greg Ellison
Can't stand the heat in the kitchen, so you are leaving? You are the one threatening to post things about me on your own blog. Now you want a truce? You said you were through posting on this subject many lines ago. Now you are using that against me.
ReplyDeleteWe are discussing this. We are discussing your attempt to label Rush Limbaugh as filthy-mouthed talker. I do invite, and I have been very kind in cotinuing to post your comments.
Mr. Bill,
ReplyDeleteYou are not rational. Just because I said I would "mention it" on my blog you claim I am threatening you? A little thin-skined, aren't you? You are the one that kept antagonizing me to get me to respond and you know it. That is what you do. That is why you have this blog. You love it and you know it. Nearly all of your Feature Stories have that in common. I'll blog with you all day if you want. I just think you want bloggers that agree and pat you on the back and when that doesn't happen you start name calling and making childish comments as you have with me.
If you don't want me back then don't make a post that I need to respond to. It's that simple. Or you can block my Freedom of Speech which you have alluded to already.
Greg Ellison
Fighting for Conservative VALUES
Thin skinned, please? I posted your original comment and didn't agree with it. I knew it couldn't be proven, but I let you make an ass out of yourself none-the-less.
ReplyDeleteMr. Bill,
ReplyDeleteYour deniel that my original comment can be proven is silly at best.
From my original post:
Fact: You did say ".....the beloved Rush Limbaugh" and that does speak of your charcter.
Fact: "Rush Limbaugh can not do a single three hour program without injecting many sexual references and calling people he disagrees with childish names."
You're the "ass" if you don't accept those easily identified FACTS!
Greg Ellison
Oh well that's just classic. After spending days attack Rush Limbaugh for his foul mouth, Greg Ellison calls me an ass. It's a FACT that some people claim the word ass offensive. Whether it is or not is the opinion of those who choose or choose not to use it. Some people may claim Greg Ellison has a foul mouth after reading that last comment.
ReplyDeleteMr. Bill,
ReplyDeleteJust as I thought you would do though smart people realize that I was quoting YOU for calling me that! The more you say the more ridiculous you are.
Greg Ellison
I didn't call you that. I accused you of making an ass out of yourself. There is a different Greg. If I said you were an ass, I would have used the same words you directed towards me. To quote you, you cleary said, "you're the ass." Putting quotations around one word and claiming you are using it in the context that I used it, when you clearly aren't, doesn't make you any better than Rush Limbaugh and the words he uses that you find offensive. If you have a bar of soap at home, you know what to do.
ReplyDeleteMr. Bill,
ReplyDeleteAll along you have tried to demean me and call me names instead of addressing my concern. I have been honest with you but you are to caught up in nonsense to care. Here you are doing it again. Your post are childish and off topic and I still say that you are a Rush Baby and that is what he has taught you and you have done nothing but prove me right.
Greg Ellison
If anyone has demeaned, you it's been yourself. You try to pass off your opinion as fact, and how could anyone take that seriously?
ReplyDeleteMr. Bill,
ReplyDeleteMy post clearly prove you wrong as any common sense person can see. I have presented FACTS that you still choose to ignore because of your Ditto Head status.
Greg Ellison
Your argument is that Rush Limaugh uses foul language on the air. Yet, Rush complies with FCC regulations for decency on the radio. What you beleive is foul language is different than what the FCC describes as foul language. How you define foul language is your opinion. It doesn't make it right. It doesn't make it wrong.
ReplyDeleteWhat amazes me, is you have still yet to comment on anything else on this blog. Your concern is with a radio host and not the people who are leading this country. That's just sad.
Mr. Bill,
ReplyDeleteYour lame argument that only the FCC rules decided decency is astounding coming from a "Christian Conservative".
I get it, you don't care what Rush says or alludes to as long as Rush and the FCC say it is okay.
I'm talking about MORAL responsibility which you apparently don't care about or are blind to!
I haven't posted on your other stories because you threw such a childish hissy-fit over my post on this subject. You have posted plenty of trashy nonsense that needs to be commented on but I was being respectful to you.
Greg Ellison
You mean the sam moral responsibility that led you to calling me an ass?
ReplyDeleteI have looked all over the Bible to see if it's a sin to say wack off. I can't find it. Would you please show me the way, since you said you find that word offensive as a Christian.
What trashy nonsense are your speaking of?
been reading thru this an gregory you have redirected and changed your argumenet so man times. i think you got some real issues.
ReplyDeleteClay,
ReplyDeleteI was making an example of a foul word you had used and you know it.
Your silly denial that these words are not foul is a direct comment on your intelligence. The Bible was originally written in several languages so modern words would not be in it, remember?
I guess what is trashy to me as a Christian is not trashy to you as a Christian.
I have not redirected or changed my argument at all, Alma. Learn how to read and understand what you are reading.
Greg Ellison
Why am I not surprised? You take the Obama strategy and point fingers away from your own actions. You used what some consider a foul word, and now you are running from it. I'm not surprised though. I don't think you are the person you claim you are or you would know it's a sin to sit with this much judgement in your heart.
ReplyDeleteI will remind you Jesus' best friend had some sexual issues. Yet Jesus didn't put as much judgment as you place on me or Limbaugh. He cast out the demons, which is something you aren't capable of as much as you try.
The words you refer to weren't in the Greek or Hebrew scripture. They were created long after the death of Christ, and it was society that eventually defined them some of them as foul. You are out of touch with your scripture and history. You are putting heavenly rules on rules man created to make an argument. Of course you will deny this and accuse me of not understanding you, changing the argument, or whatever, but your argument has been Rush Limbaugh uses foul language, and I say I don't give a rat's ass anymore what you think. You pass judgment in your heart, which makes you no better even if it is true Rush uses foul langauge. I have no time left for your silly argument when free speech in this country as well as our Constitution are under attack. If you gave a damn about this country, you wouldn't be so petty about words like wackoff.
Mr. Bill,
ReplyDeleteUsing the Bible to excuse your sins is simply pathetic. You know what Rush does is wrong and that is all that matters. If you don't want to admit it for the sake of your political view, so be it.
Everytime I come to your blog it makes my computer run slow.
Greg Ellison
Gee, I wonder why. You keep adding to this page, and it's slowing it down.
ReplyDeleteFunny, you continue to ignore the scriptures about judging people as you continue with your rant that judges people, which is now slowing down this page because you don't know when to admit your defeat. I find it amazing you run from the scripture in the Bible about judgement. It's not your job Mr. Ellison. Humblue thyself.
ha ha Greg you are so funny. You are giving liberals food about the stereotyped self-rigteous behavior of conservative Christians. At the same time you are way out of line with the Bible you claim is your guide.
ReplyDelete@ Greg
ReplyDeleteIf Rush Limbaugh offends you so much, why do you listen to his broadcast, let alone memorize and repeat what he says? Are you not grown up enough to turn off the radio? Something keeps you listening, so you obviously aren't that offended. I think you are a seminar poster, a real troll looking for an argument and some attention.
Greg sits and trolls this site many times during the day looking for an argument. I have allowed him plenty of time to make his case, and I haveen't seen any evidence he is credible in presenting who he actually is, and I believe he likes conflict, which is why he says Limbaugh offends him but she shows throughout his threads he tunes in every day. I had to cut him off though. This was getting rediculous, as he resorted to attacking the blog without examining the facts which I make public.
ReplyDeleteHe is a troll, looking for people to argue with him about Rush Limbaugh, and our country has more serious issues to focus on like defeating health care and restoring states rights. I feel Greg tried to take away from that with his miserable attempt to make a case against Rush Limbaugh.
Honey, are you ever going to come to bed? I have needs that need met, and all you do is comment about Rush Limbaugh. I am so tired of being ignored for Rush Limbaugh!
ReplyDelete@ Greg,
ReplyDeletePushing your religion on someone like you have, basically shoving your views on Christianity down some one's throat, isn't very American nor is it Christian like. Our founding fathers gave us the freedom to make those choices. They didn't establish a authoritative voice to make those decisions for us. You claim you are a conservative, yet forcing your religion on someone isn't the actions of a conservative in touch with the Constitution of the United States. As a conservative, you would be more respectful of peoples views in religion rather than call them out for not being a Christian in line with your own views as to what it means to be a Christian. You seem like a very angry man if you want my opinion. You obviously aren't finding peace in the book you claim means so much to you as you maintain this bully pulpit of becoming God like with judgement. If anyone has used Christianity as an excuse to justify their behavior it is you.
