did HELL just freeze over? :O

[heavenlyboy34]

If you're listening to Limbaugh, note that he actually DEFENDED RP today!! That is, he pointed out that Barney Frank interrupted RP while RP was kicking Bernanke's ass ("nailing him to the wall" as Rush said). ZOMG!! Now the haters love RP!

VIVA LA R3VOLUTION!

Hell's been frozen over numerous times before and it almost always becomes hot again within a few hours. What I'm trying to say is that Rush will probably be attacking RP again tomorrow.

Yeah, but it's always amusing when that bloviator does this shit. Thought y'all might have enjoyed that "gotcha" moment, as I did.

Too little, too late.

If Limbaugh had gotten out in front of RP and used his platform that reaches ten of millions of people back in the summer of 07, like he did with Buchanan back in 92, then we might be talking about President Paul today.

A quarter of a billion dollars buys a lot of loyalty to the party line.

Anywhere I can listen to a recording of this? I've got to hear it to believe it.

Always amazed me how Rush managed to say nothing at all about Paul during the primaries without throwing in "bad" buzz words like "mentally insane", "hasn't got a snowball's chance", or "anti-war".

I remember once a listener called in and asked him what he thought of Paul, and I guess he didn't have anything prepared so he went "Hmm, Ron Paul, he's a Republican presidential candidate." Refused to ever even mention his platform.

Not right now, but if I find it on the webbernet, I'll post it.

Let's please stop thinking that these cretins who spin conservative talking points but really are military-industrial complex foot soldiers somehow become our friends when they do so. Limbaugh will never let a Ron Paul platform interfere with the hand that feeds him and his bosses. Ever. These people will turn on us at the very first self-serving opportunity. They are only spinning the conservative talking points now because they lost the white house gig. They only bring up the "conservative" talking points to attack the Dems.

I absolutely agree. However, since these neocons have set themselves up as critics of "media", it is only fair that they be criticized for their BS as well, IMHO.

It was the most recent occasion that Bernanke spoke with congress. I don't know how to tube radio broadcasts. It would be nice if someone here explained it, though.

I heard it too, nearly fell out of my chair. I'm not giving the MIC footsoldiers a pass but it was great to hear nonetheless.

Unfortunately, RP never is able to kick Bernanke's ass. He never is able to attack Bernanke's answers based upon economic theory. RP talks for about three minutes, asks a question, and Bernanke spins circles around RP. RP only "wins" to the extent that you wonder to what extent Ben is avoiding the issue. I hate to say it, but I am pretty sure that Ben is about 1000 times more versed and studied in economics that RP. RP needs to fight back with some theory and some data. He needs to do something like estimate the social dead weight loss to Americans due to price fixing interest rates. He needs to say that Americans will perceive their wealth to be diminished with the specter of future tax obligations, and this will constrict their consumption spending. RP doesn't have to do this alone. He can get high powered Ph.D's to counsel and script him. He needs top go after Bernanke and follow up. He needs to get Bernanke on the run and make him look really bad and TELL him what the American people want. Good economists can cite the results of lots of analysis of statistical data to prove or disprove a point. This is the gold mine that RP can utilize to get Ben on the run. RP needs some help here. There are plenty of economists that will be willing to counsel him.

Bingo -- although good, these testemonies could be so much better than they are.
