Dumb things conservatives say:

[Back]

There was no "transition" here, there was no "linking" his unhappiness with being a liberal to his death.

Then we just have to disagree and move on.

The answer is - "There is politics, but it is not in the coverage of the story. The coverage is based on the media's genuine affection for Williams. But there is politics in the story. The politics is that Williams had it all but was still unhappy. Unhappiness is a leftist trait."

That's pretty awesome the way you took that bit out of context after I've been accusing you of taking things out of context in this story. A+ for that one

Here is that whole part, once again:

LIMBAUGH: “What is the politics in the coverage of the suicide of Robin Williams?” Well, I believe there is some. But I don’t think that the politics is driving it. I think there was, on the part of media and Hollywood, genuine affection for the guy that is driving it, but there is politics. If you notice the coverage is focused on how much he had, but it wasn’t enough.

I hope I've cleared this up for you.

The bold is where Rush is clearly talking about politics (which mind you he never said wasn't in the "coverage" of the story, he simply said politics wasn't "driving" the story) and the italics is where he's clearly talking about the affection.

Notice the last part of the sentence before he says "If you notice the coverage is focused on how much he had, but it wasn’t enough." is "but there is politics."

And the very next paragraph after he specifically talks about the political coverage of his death is the one you all are thinking links Robin Williams' suicide to him being unhappy for being a liberal.

Do you...do you guys know how the English language works?

If I say "I'm going to the store with Bob and Jim but not Larry, he's been sick lately."

Clearly "he" is Larry because that's the last person I mentioned.

Likewise if the last thing Rush said was the coverage of Robin Williams' suicide was partly due to politics because the left focused on him not having enough and being unhappy because he didn't have enough...

This sinking in yet?

I am sorry - I really cannot afford to help you with this anymore. You'll have to take an incomplete for now.

I get why you try.. it's entertaining picking on those with mental disabilities.. but at some point, you have to realize that it's not very nice to keep going on and on and making them look even more foolish.

You're right.

I apologize.

You're both going to have an appointment at the principal's office if you keep up the name calling.

[Latrinsorm]

But reading something out of context to make what a Republican said seem worse than it really was isn't?

Is Rush a Republican? I can't find any source for his party registration.

"Name calling" usually is where one party uses a derogatory term for another.

I most certainly have not done that to you.

I await your apology.
