Rush windbag

Wed Nov 4, RL was pontificating about 2009 elections:

Exit Polls 'I NEVER pay attention to exit polls' - claims they are bogus, and biased to the left. Question: did he ever give props to exit pols previously (like when the results are to his liking)? Need to research this.

Herritage Foundation - props up the great and important work this organization does - for a long time. Then he sneakily puts in that the org deserves 'your' money to do their crucially important work. Basically, this was a 2 minute unpaid commercial for Herritage Foundation.

Question: does he have a financial stake in HF?

One other issue on Wednesday - 'I' was my mnemonic, gotta remember!

Democracy Now .. Ft. Hood incident

Democracy Now, Nov 06 '09

Repeatedly made the point that Hassan was harassed in the military.

[bb: DN is immediately blaming the army, not the killer - no surprise there]

If this were a Christian we wouldn't be blaming Christianity

[bb: because of precedent: some islamists have indeed killed in the name of islam; it is natural to wonder if there were an islamic element to the Ft Hood shooting. Whereas if a christian did this it would more likely be a personal issue - they shooter went insane, etc.)

Chaplains in the Army are only Christian or Jewish.

[bb - no kidding! Christians and Jews outnumber Muslims in the armed forces by 600-1]
