Exactly right.

It's a freakin celebrity endorsement but because Oprah is "kinder and gentler" than Rush then hers isn't subject to scrutiny????

How can you know her true motivations are sincere without jumping into her head? Maybe, her choice is really based upon oh my gosh....skin color. Who the heck knows? We can speculate all we want but we give Oprah a free ride but because we don't like a certain celebrity we bash him

and then say it's not a contradiction????????????????? OI VAY

Noone ever said Oprahs endorsement should not be subject to scrutiny, but it is certainly something totally different to the matter at hand.

Operation Chaos is why Clinton won her primary in Indiana. Now the fight goes on. Limbaugh thinks McCain is a horrible Republican and an even worse conservative, he just thinks the other 2 are even worse for the country. The rules allow for what is going on anyway, what is the problem? 8 years ago the Dems. were endorsing the idea to keep McCain in the race longer.

You honestly can't see the difference between someone saying "Vote for this man, I believe in what he stands for" and someone saying "vote for this person just to fuck with the other party?" You really can't see a difference?

As you say, we cannot be sure what Oprah's true motivations are. But we can be sure exactly what Limpballs' motivation is. We know he hates Hildebeast with every seedy fiber of his being. He has for YEARS. He despises everything she is, has been or ever will be. There is NO QUESTION as to his motivations, and they are disgusting. Oprah gets the benefit of the doubt because there is a doubt to be seen. Not so with Flush. There is NO DOUBT as to his motivations.

Of course there is a difference in their words; so what? The point that i stand firm and will not yield is that they are celebrities giving an endorsement.........big flippin deal. The posters in here act as if just because Rush says so that sheeple will blindly do as he says. If that is your argument, then it must also be made for the sheeple that buy the books that Oprah says to buy and will vote solely because "Oprah likes him". You will find sheeple everywhere be they libs or conservatives.

They are celebrities or would it be easier to understand if i use the word "entertainers" as that is all that they do; they entertain.

Why weren't people upset with Chuck Norris (although he'd kick my ass) because he supported Huckabee?????

Then you are standing firm on sandy soil. Limbaugh is not giving his endorsement to Hillary. He is entreating his dittohead-zombie army to go vote for Hillary in order to throw the Democratic nomination into chaos. He knows that the party is so sharply divided that a few thousand votes one way or the other (<20K in Indiana, remember) can change the face of a Democratic primary. He also knows that every day that Obama and Clinton tear at each other is one more day they aren't laying into McCain. And even though he doesn't like McCain particularly, he dislikes any Democrat even more.

Norris did what thousands of other "people of influence" have done: directly endorsed a candidate for legitimate reasons. If Limbaugh comes out and grudgingly says "vote for McCain because he's the best of a bad bunch," that's one thing. But no person that has been anywhere outside of under a rock for the last 20 years can possibly believe that Limbaugh "endorsed" Clinton. My God, the man would rather bash his testicles with a ball-peen hammer than play a part in getting any Democrat elected, much less a Clinton. Norris didn't encourage anyone to go vote for a candidate he doesn't believe in. Limbaugh is simply engaging in political dooshbaggery. The two aren't even in the same city, much less the same ballpark.

And it's not the sheeple that listen to him that would act. There is a sizable portion of his listenership that is on the same or even lower level than he. They aren't doing it because he said to. They're doing it because he suggested it and they thought "Geez, why didn't I think of that? That's awesome!" That's why Limbaugh is such a tool: he knows that that element exists within his sphere of influence, and he unashamedly uses it.

Instead of appealing to a more civilized politics, he preys on such attitudes to promote the politics of division and mistrust.

It's clear that all you liberals are just pissed-off that you didn't think of it first. hahahahahahahahaha..............

They did think of it first, they are mad because we are using their idea more effectively.
