Please. Feel free to call up Rush tomorrow and set him straight about
teh fandumb. I'm sure you'll be able to convince him that wearing a
fursuit with a big floppydong is just an innocent form of fun.

LOL!

Other than a bit of mild humor regarding the "Furry Anatomy" workshop, Rush
kept it clean. He finds the whole thing ridiculous, yes. He broke down
laughing when discussing a 35-year-old man wanting to be a raccoon (Lee
Stromm(?), your 15 minutes of fame have begun), and then tried to claim that
a furcon was "too festive" and "too costly", what with the "war going on"
and the tsunami.

Note, however: Aside from his joke on "Furry Anatomy" ("Can you find it?
Can you find it?"), the worst thing he's accused us of is "prancing" in a
hotel lobby (Honorable mention to Shadow). No "big floppydong" on the
suits; where are you getting this from?

Welcome back to the Village, Number 6...

... but do you realize you've officially become crazier than Rush Limbaugh
with that remark?

I find it rather funny. Who would've thought that Rush, one of the biggest
radio personalities in the States, had nothing better to comment on that day
than a fur con?

Although, I think he missed the "well, yes, things suck right now, but the
world DOESN'T end when something bad happens" part of the deal.

Ah well.

And, Shadow? You have WAY too much fun.

Well, we've finally arrived, big-time. I wonder if this will lead to
the fandom recruiting a whole bunch of Dittoheads who want to live out
their furry fantasies too.

Is that really the best Rush can do - comparing a furcon to Bush & co's
inauguration wallow to 'expose' some more 'liberal hypocrisy'? Hey
Rush, one is a group of slightly wacky private citizens, the other is
the planet's ruling clique. I guess we should be flattered, being put
on equal footing with the kleptocracy.

Did anyone besides me see the news footage of a B-2 Spirit doing
flyovers as part of the security in DC for Bush's inauguration? What in
the name of all that is holy is a bomber doing as part of this detail?
Bombers don't intercept airplanes - fighters do. What's the point, and
how much did he pay to put that thing up there, for what can't possibly
be any more useful than just flexing his muscle?

Bush is a moron and a jerk.

THANK YOU. Sorry, tsunami victims, we can't afford to help you because
we need the money to throw a party celebrating King George's second
stolen election.

But don't worry - Americans are generous people, and the 53% of the
population that didn't vote for Junior still have enough heart to help.
Unfortunately, they don't have jobs right now, so they can't send money,
either.

In the mean time, those corporate CEOs who do happen to still have jobs
are spending their money on the new H2. Feel important yet?

Not necessarily. If King Dubya has shown us anything, it's that he has a
complete lack of tact when it comes to displaying his hardware to put
fear in the hearts of his enemies. I didn't get the impression from
Kerry that he felt the need for such locker-room mentality.

Putting an aircraft carrier off the coast of Korea for forward presence
is one thing. Flying a bomber over one of your own cities when you know
you would NEVER, EVER have reason to drop one is simply ridiculous.

I didn't add to the long-running piss-fight between MHirtes and the world.
I was just poking fun at everyone that does.

I've been reading this newsgroups for a couple years, without ever posting
anything, but I've been itching to point out how pathetic it all is.
MHirtes is either the best troll ever or the people who respond to him are
too stupid to learn how not to reply.

Years ago there was this 'Gush Limbarge' spoof of the Rush Limbaugh
personality and radio sow on something called 'Radio Lawn', and one of
the episodes had 'Gush' going to a Furrycon and getting exposed to
'spooge-art' and fursuits and yiffing and Gush jerking-it in his bear
costume looking for releif.

Just so you know, the B-2 is a weapons platform, not a WWII era B-17 only
capable of dropping dumb iron bombs. It can carry a dizzying array of
different munitions and deliver them instantly and accuratly. Instead of
ringing DC with anti aircraft missle batteries and dozens of F-15's buzzing
the capital, a B-2 loitering at altitute is as or more effective and a lot
quieter. Keep in mind too, that aircraft is going to cost just as much
sitting on the ground leaking fluids on the tarmack as it does flying around
actually being useful. It doesn't cost any more to fly that B-2 than not to
because the air crews still have to train and fly almost every day.

Oh, and fighters don't intercept airplanes in this day and age, missles do.
B-2's carry lots and lots of missles. They also have radar, ECM and very
sophisitcated communications systems.

I really don't think Bush threw a tantum in front of the Joint Chiefs
demanding a B-2 fly over DC. The DOD was charged with protecting the
proceedings and that was their decision to use that particular asset.
Besides, if Bush did say, "Big plane go zooom!" they would have used the B-2
anyway.

So what? That didn't sound that bad at all bad as opposed to the
material about furs on CSI, Vanity Fair, or MTV. This is not something
to get all riled up over.

Rush may be onto something however as from what I've seen (especially
here on AFF), most furs are liberal or ultra-liberal.

More than that, it's amazingly ironic. Here he is saying that people
should be doing something else, attacking someone's holiday and yet he's
supposedly some kind of public oriface that could be doing something about
the important issues of the world but he choses to focus on something so
obscure? Sheesh. Talk about pots and kettles.

Hey, if you're part of a scene that accepts and celebrates a different
way of looking at the world, doesn't that predispose you towards a more
liberal point of view?

Part of the right wing's master plan was to spend 20-30 years turning
the word 'liberal' into something akin to 'child molester' - and
they've by & large succeeded. My own problem with traditional liberals
is that they're way too wimpy. (Just look at the way they run away from
being called liberals.) We need some serious kick-ass
liberals/Democrats (and there are SO MANY big fat asses out there just
begging to be kicked these days) to face down the Limbaughs, OReillys,
Tom DeLays, etc etc etc.

I'm not particularly riled up over Rush's attention; I'm kinda
flattered actually. His snide, put-downy reading of the item was just
more V.Fair-style condescension. But the point of his argument - if
liberals are so against a big blowout inauguration, why don't THESE
people cancel THEIR convention? - is a total non-sequitir. Then again,
Rush's audience isn't much interested in logical thinking.

And since regular liberals are so eeevil, just what is a (shudder!)
'ultra-liberal'?

Anyone who takes Rush Limbaugh seriously, deserves to. Oh sure, I'm sure
he's conservative as hell, but he's a comic not a newscaster. So he
finally got low enough on real political material to take a dig at the
furries. So what? We are silly looking to those on the outside. It was
far less mean spirited or coniving than what Vanity Fair did. Having
Rush grill you hardly qualifies as bad press given how many people love
to hate him. It wouldn't suprise me if a new wave of people who like
anthros and didn't realize there was a fandom decide to check us out.

Um, no.

Besides, you want your aircraft enforcing an exclusion zone, not hanging
around looking pretty, (i.e. you shouldn't be seeing them overhead).

Only if you know you want to destroy the inbound aircraft. It would be
rather embarassing to shoot down an off-course pleasure flyer with a bad
radio.
That's why you send a fighter up to intercept unknowns.

And no more air to air combat capability than an E-3 Sentry, which has

While I'm loath to comment on any thread started by li'l Mikey H., I
had jump in to say that your comments on Rush are right on the mark.

Furthermore, Limbaugh's fulminations on furries are inconsequential.
More troubling were the remarks he made last week, where he
insinuated that Arabs -- and I don't know if I can put this politely
-- regularly crap themselves (this was part of comments he made
supporting torture by the U.S. of Arab prisoners at Abu Ghraib
and Guantanamo). I've always regarded Limbaugh as a fat, ignorant
slob. Now, he's proven that he's a fat, ignorant, *racist* slob,
to boot.

Correct. Plane was there for show, not security. Not surprising, the
Air Force (And former Army Aip Corp) have be flying planes (The best they
had at the time) over inaugerations for decades.

Correct again. And fighters still pack 20mm multibarrel cannon in them
for possible close combat and, if needed in a pinch, ground straffing.

His popularity has no bearing on whether or not he is a moron
(though even his alleged popularity is in question; his approval
rating is just under 50%, the lowest for any second-term President
since Nixon).

The man can barely form complete sentences. He nearly choked on
a pretzel (a good thing he wasn't drunk at the time, eh?). His
political nominees endorse torture. He started an expensive,
brutal and illegal war in Iraq. And now he wants to attack Syria
and Iran.

Does this make Bush a moron? I'd say the answer is 'yes'.

Amuseing! I tell you to think the man is smart because he keeps handing
you your head and you still don't learn. This is no surprise. I've seen
some good Dem advisers giving the same advice and noone in lib field listens
to them.

As the saying goes "None are so blind as those who will not see."

Please continue with your line of thinking, if that's what it is, and
you will continue to lose. I hope you do. Sinking into extinction is what
awaits you if you refuse to learn. Rather like the French at Dien Bien
Phu, 1954, defeat will continue and you will become as the old Wig
Party...extinct.

Yes! Unfortunately, the modern and popular use of the word "liberal" to
describe a political group is actually an anachronism that has outlived its
definition. Back in the 1960s, those who favored open minds and an end to
oppression were called liberals. However, as time marched on and our
society achieved a cultural equilibrium, the leftists who complained rightly
about evils of the world in the 1960s drifted further and further left
instead of satisfying themselves with what they'd achieved. People forgot
where they started--in an age of segregated toilets and water fountains,
Donna Reed and separate beds for Lucy and Ricky--and look on any obstacle in
the path of a continuing leftward trend as a return to the days of
segregation, et. al.

It's kind of like making a touchdown and continuing to run in the same
direction long after the fact. You got what you wanted, and now you can't
stop smashing your head against the wall even though everybody else got on
with the rest of the game.

Fuzz, *traditional* liberals left your camp a long time ago.

As for *modern* liberals, it's been forty years of incessant demonizing of
conservatives in print, on television, radio, film, in school from
kindergarten thru college, and now the internet. There are scores of
pundits and novelists who literally make a living just cataloguing the
assaults you make. Don't confuse your recent failures with any reluctance
to attack.

> We need some serious kick-ass liberals/Democrats

We already have them. They're just not called "liberals" even though
they're the most open and accepting voices out there right now.

The problem is that the top "liberals" at this moment are a rapist
(Clinton), a murderer (Kennedy), a klansman (Byrd), an admitted war criminal
(Kerry), the emotionally and psychologically disturbed ("post-election
selection trauma" sufferers), and a cacophony of people who are so
transfixed by their own talking points that they can't present a coherent
message without re-defining words to suit their agendas. Your spokesman is
Michael Moore, a guy who explains with great vigor how stupid Americans (and
therefore you) are while proclaiming "There is no terror threat" on
September 12, 2001.

Your biggest problem right now is that you no longer control 100% of the
media. Not only are alternative messages getting out, but liberals are
being fact-checked and exposed on their rampant hypocrisy and bias.

There was a great line from a liberal writer earlier this month--I wish I'd
bookmarked it--talking about how leftists don't know how to attack and
malign people, which came as a shock to those of us who witnessed the many
decades these people have been impugning the intelligence and honesty of
those they disagree with. We LOVE you for your blithering disregard for
physical evidence! Even today, Dan Rather has yet to acknowledge that the
MS-Word documents he brandished, claiming they were from 1973, were bogus.

KEEP IT UP! :-D

Oh heck, to tell the truth I have no clue about the plane but it was a great
set up for the joke about big plane go zoom.

As a side note though, I did read about a new upgrade they have done for a
sort of "plug and play" weapons control system that means it can launch or
drop any compliant weapon. So it is concievable it could be set up that way,
although not probable. I went a long way for a joke though....

A very intelligent reply - but I disagree with you in almost every
respect. I'm a little busy today, so I won't go thru it chapter &
verse.

I'll just give you one example of what we
(progressives/liberals/whatever you want to call us) are up against:
look at at the slime campaign unleashed by Karl Rove against Kerry via
the "Swift Boat Veterans for Truth" (sic) - 101% bullshit. All of a
sudden a legitimate war hero (that 'war criminal' stuff is more bogus
right-wing crapola - sorry you've fallen for it - but I guess you
prefer an alcoholic coke addict to someone who actually served his
country) has to defend his record against (and this is all on the
record) someone who got into a safe haven during Vietnam strictly via
family connections - the 'champagne squadron' of the Texas Air Natl
Guard. In other words, an upper-class coward.

And before you start up about Rather, the stuff about Bush & the TANG
is all on the record - the CBS controversy was about the legitimacy of
the documents themselves (which by the way have NOT been proven as
forgeries or legitimate at this point), not about the FACTS of Bush's
record. Rather a brilliant masterstroke to muddy the waters even
further, wouldn't you say? At least Rather had the decency to apologize
- I haven't heard one word of apology from Bush & co. from lying us
into this endless atrocity of a war (Nigerian uranium, anyone?)
Instead, he wants to continue bringing 'the fire of freedom' to the
world. Yes, planet Earth as one big Fallujah, hallelulah!

Your only response is to repeat the same erroneous statements that
I corrected you on in my previous post. Disappointing, but not
terribly surprising. But, hey, if you think torturing innocent
people or waging war against defenseless populations while
bankrupting the U.S. economy is an example of Junior's superior
intellect, that's fine with me.

However, it is interesting that you chose the French defeat by
Vietnamese Communists at Dien Bien Phu for an analogy for the last
presidential election. The analogy, however, much closer to what
the U.S. is facing in Iraq at the moment.

Somehow that's supposed to make a diference in the discussion?

Kind of a new way of distraction there. Talking about what sort of
computer Hirtes uses. Still trying to figure out how that effects the
fact that furrydumb has gotten so far off the deep end that even
conservative commentators can pull themselves away from singing the
praises of the innauguration and still find some time to slap
skunkfuckers around.

OKAY!! It's your fault! Don't try to deny it!

Went to sleep and had a dream where I was watching some kind of party or
ball and the participants were as you discribed. There was a background
music playing over and over again that was a somewhat modified verion of the
song "Freakout". In this case it went "Wig out!" and now and then the folks
wigs would pop straight up into the air for a few feet then land right back
on their heads.

Lord, it was odd and funny at the same time.

Michael Hirtes has gone far off the deep end that he embraces

That would be because Bush won on misinformation and disinformation...
categories where the candidate is less important than his publicity staff.
Two weeks before the election, surveys showed a majority of the declared
Bush-voters had no real idea what their candidate was saying he was going to
do. Meanwhile, the "Swift Boat Veterans for Truth", handily advised by a
Bush legal advisor, were accusing Kerry of everything but treason itself.

And in the end, with the Religious Right all but declaring him the Messiah,
he could still barely make a majority.

So you go on praising the genius that actually runs the campaign... we're
just wondering if he'll run without Bush next time.

A-HEM!

In order:

Bill Clinton is being accused of raping a woman in *1978*. A woman who,
when involved in the Paula Jones case, first denied that Bill Clinton ever
made improper advances. Then, sensing an opportunity, she declared her
signed affidavit a lie, claiming that Clinton had raped her and told her he
was sterile (two years before Chelsea was born)... then, 13 years later,
tracked her down at the nursing home where she worked just to apologize and
get blown off. A woman who later left her old husband for the next year's
model. Who was afterward appointed to a state advisory board by
then-governor Clinton. Who didn't make these allegations until Starr
granted her immunity from perjury.

You think maybe there's a reason these charges never made the news? I mean,
besides the fact that the statute of limitations had expired?

Ted Kennedy a murderer? I wasn't at Chappaquiddick, and neither were you.
Drop it.

Byrd a member of the Klan? Gee, why would a politician want to get in good
with a bunch of vote-swinging rednecks, hm? Couldn't be for the votes, huh?
As in, the same reason a LOT of politicians joined the stupid thing way back
when? Unethical, yes, but not in the same way.

As for Kerry? Look here, bubbuleh:

http://swiftvets.eriposte.com/kerryother.htm

Because if I list for you the many lies of the "Swift Boat Veterans" group
Dubya's advisors helped create, we'll be here all day.

That's 51% with a press that was bending over backwards to help him.

Try comparing how even the right wing Canadian press covered the US
election to the American press.

He has a mandate. It's just not from the voters, or the people who voted for
him.

It would help immensely, of course, if the racist, homophobic, sexist
conservatives would stop being racist, homophobic and conservative, though.
As for child molestors, it's no smear campaign to say that probably most are
more right-wing than left. I say this because there is a strong correlation
between religiousness and child molestation (check the data yourself if you
think this is not true)--the Catholic church's problems with the issue are
simply to most obvious.

It is an interesting parallel, though, to the discussion about tolerance
going on. The whole problem for the conservative branch of things is,
precisely, distancing itself from the homophobic, racist and sexist elements
that are identified as part and parcel of it. (It does seem that those
elements bulk larger than babyfurs and bestialists in the Furry community
though.)

Believe it or not, being religious and being conservative are not one
and the same. I'm a staunch atheist and I'm also very conservative.
I'm also not racist or homophobic.

Gee, there goes that stereotype, huh?
