O'Reilly Hannity and Lumbaugh

[FA_Q2]

What's your point, jillian?

They are H Y P O C R I T E S (and that is one of their only finer characteristics).

And yet 4 pages in and not one of you has been able to even state WHY they are hypocrites.

Here is a hint for you, what you are looking at is EXACTLY why unions are crap today. Those people do not want to be part of a union and a union offers them NOTHING yet, for some unexplainable reason, they are FORCED to be in one and pay for the services they are not receiving.

The only hypocrites here are the lefties that want to scream at the top of their lungs that they want the 'right' to collective bargaining all while ensuring that you have NO RIGHT WHATSOEVER. What the left actually wants is the obligation to participate in the funding of collective bargaining. It is not a 'right' if you are forced to patronize a system that you do not want to be a part of.

they could decline the benefits of union membership. (what benefits?)

unions make sure they're paid a minimum amount for their 'input'... (They make WELL above the minimum all by themselves... no help from the stupid union)

did you ever hear them complain about their unions? (ALL THE TIME... THEY HATE IT!)

and i am fully aware of the rules.. thanks.

Yet you still started this ignorant thread

What's your point, jillian?

She spoke before she knew what she was talking about. She was trying to make a point of hypocrisy where there was none. She entered facts into evidence not applicable to her case. She committed argumentative malpractice via intellectual ignorance.

i know exactly what i'm talking about.

thanks for playing.

i can't help it if you think rightwingnut hypocrisy is acceptable.

Where is the hypocrisy???

So you say they should be bullied out of radio because they are REQUIRED to be a member of said union??

Yeah... just like a facist.
Shut the competition up... silence the opposition!

Way to Jillie.... way to go.

 

[The Infidel]

They should have the right to work anywhere they want... without having to pay union dues to a union that donates money to political causes the WORKER disagrees with.

Remember freedom???

Liberals don't believe in liberty, they want to be able to force people to do what they think they should do. It's the liberal way

 

[The Infidel]

are all members of a union...

AFTRA...

oops...

oh yeah.. so are Michelle Malkin, Annie Coultergeist, Glenn Beck and Sarah Palin...

As is everyone on TV/Radio because the unions have an absolute grip on entertainment. You cant get on if your not SAG. Hell, you cant even APPLY to become an extra unless you pay and go through an unionized talent agency. Even then, you aren't allowed to have a speaking part or any other major role unless your SAG. I've been an extra on more than a few occasions. Once you do three jobs as an extra you can apply for SAG membership and pay your dues. Only then are you allowed to advance with acting or speaking parts.

Seems to be reflected in the amount of money they make, now, doesn't it? Perhaps were the working force in this nation 80% to 90% union, there would be a much more equitable distribution of wealth, and a much better economy. Consumers have to have something to spend on consumption if a consumer economy is going to work.

Much like the other thread on Detroit. Two days and I forget how many replies and not one has tried to refute it.

Not really.

Being in a union probably did help Limbaugh when he was "Jeff Christie", and was busted for soliciting an undercover cop posing as a male prostitute. He was fired from his gig, but the radio station still can't talk about it until this very day.

Good ole Joey with his could of, should have, would have. A characther assassination with no proof whatsoever.

Got to love his BS, no one is allowed to talk about it? Lol! People make up the stupidest crap. No proof, nothing, but guess what, it has to be true! LOL!

I've come to the conclusion that although Joey's deck might have 52 cards they are shuffled and someone left the Jokers in.

 

[Synthaholic]

So you are saying you "trust" the mainstream media now?

Frankly, why not provide a source that "debunks" the Jeff Christie story?

It's well known in media circles that Limbaugh is gay. They just don't talk about it just like they don't talk about all the other foibles of their own. It's all kind of "clubbish", really.

Are you serious? You just blurt out any horseshit, label it as fact and then say that others have to disprove it? Get a grip!

You said he's gay and it's well know. I say you need a better source than the crap you linked.


You can't debunk what doesn't exist.

You're taking this way too personally. Why is that?

If expecting "Joey" to actually address what he posts with facts is taking it seriously..then guilty.

If you are talking about homosexuality...you're the one that brought that implication up, not me.

Talk it over with Joey. Maybe he's free this weekend.

You know, that whole Elton John being a prominent guest at his last wedding is starting to make a lot more sense now.

On top of that...

Limbaugh got a draft deferrment for an "Anal Cyst". Draw your own conclusions.

He's been married four times, the first three ending in divorces. The third divorce involved an extensive non-disclosure agreement. Hmmmm. Oh, yeah. No children from any of those marriages.

Then he was caught flying into the Dominican Republic with a bottle of viagra when he was between beards... eerrrr.. wives.

Yes, the narrative is rather damning, for those who are unbiased.

Air America worked out well.

Um, yeah, it did.

Al Franken is now a Senator and Rachel Maddow has an influential TV Show.

Not to mention folks like Randi Rhodes who are successful in their radio shows. Most of the former Air America people have continued to do well in media, news and/or entertainment.

Back to Jeff Christie, aka Rush Limbaugh here's some facts that more than paints him as a closeted homosexual man...

1. In 1971 Limbaugh attended Southeastern Missouri University, where, according to reports, he had a brief but heated affair with Elliot Sanders
2. After MO, he moved to Sacramento, CA, where he met and became "friends" with Norm Woodruff, a flamboyant, openly gay man with a great deal of influence in the local radio scene.
3. He's been married 4 times, currently on his fourth, none of the marriages have produced children.
4. In his third divorce, part of the HEFTY settlement included the woman not disclosing why they divorced, amongst many other tidbits of their relationship and him in particular. (Things that make you go "Hmmmmmm....!"
5. At his last wedding, one of the, if not the prominent guest of honor was Elton John, nuff said.

I mean, what more do you need/want...a photo of him in action with some young male stud?

And, if they have worked more than 30 days in their job while still not a member of the union, they may not work again UNTIL they join the union.

Right to work gives them an option to be free to work as they please and where they please.


The left cannot stand when individuals are given a choice over their own lives.

What a partisan way to paint it.

What the left cannot stand is allowing businesses to bully their workers, including not giving them fair wages and compensation.

Let's here 'em. And Franken was famous long before Airhead America. Outside of MSLSD no one knows who the hell Spike Maddow is.

Great link by the way...credible too!

We, as individuals, are often part of some organization, club, business or other form of governance that doesn't do the things we approve or agree with some of the time. From our schools, to our churches, to our jobs, to our very government. It's just a part of life. Therefore, that's not a very strong argument my friend.

did you ever hear them complain about their unions?

and i am fully aware of the rules.. thanks.

With a multimillion dollar contract that spells out absolutely everything awarded to them because they have more viewers/listeners than their competition, they don't worry about Union Benefits. Their benefits are in their contracts which are negotiated by their agents/lawyers who are hired because of their influence and get paid on a commission basis. However, they cant complain about their union just as they cant complain about their company; that too is in their contract. They don't need union representation because they have their own lawyers, however, they need to pay dues because of the radio/tv stations agreement with the unions. If you were aware of the rules then you wouldn't have posted this thread. You've made absolutely no point.

i am fully aware of the rules... i'm also aware of the hypocrisy of you lunatics on the right.

like paul ryan wanting to destroy social security... after his mother was no longer on it.

like teatard congressmen using their government health care programs

like ron paul talking about term limits while he makes a career out of being on the government payroll...and then brings his son into the family business... or like him saying how much he hates earmarks while never having met an earmark he doesn't love.

you're all full of it.

and that's why i posted the thread.

and that's what makes it hysterical.

Stephanie Miller has a very popular radio show and is simulcast every morning on Current TV. Sean Hannity featured her last night on his show because she made fun of him. What a crybaby.

I believe wife #3 for Rush was Darin Kagen of CNN fame.

I wonder if she was in any of those Planet Of The Apes remakes?

I've listened to Stephers, she can be funny, I don't watch Current TV nor Sean Hannity. Why do you watch Hannity?

He was the guy Rush tried to pick up!

 

[JoeB131]

I never used to reply to him but I thought that I'd try again. I now see why I stopped in the first place.

Because I kick your sorry ass from one end of the board to the other.

Three pages, and I got you unhinged by merely repeated a three decade old story about Limbaugh.

 

[BallsBrunswick]

People didn't know Limbaugh is gay? All you have to do is spend ten minutes listening to him.
