ORIGINAL: Crush Ya know, I don't really care for what he says, but it is about what he says, not who he is. That's one major problem I always see here...don't attack the issues, attack the man. It really is cowardice of the highest nature. NOW, if you want to say he's wrong on issue X or Y because of Z or W, then fine. That's a discussion. But otherwise, it isn't going to convince anyone...because there is never an argument made without a slam. And that immediately puts your whole argument into a suspect state. What issues for me? Abortion, religion, and gay lifestyle for three. Fine..so let's say, sticking to issues only, that Rush has shown himself to be against a woman's right to choose as well as her right to free choices in her health care, that he is blatantly against the separation of church and state and a vocal homophobe . I find those positions ethically reprehensible as I do the way in which he expresses them. Is that any better? Definitely. And I agree. See, we didn't have to actually resort to calling him names to disagree with him...
