Yes, this is pop culture. Those of us who feel some responsibility for the ideas carried by everybody around them might want to fight against it.
If almost all celebrities are parroting exactly what you think, what exactly do you think you're doing by opening your mouth and telling us your words?

Only non-witches get due process.

I listened to him a couple of weeks ago.
No, Rush was bombastic, but he was not a nutter. He wasn't 100% right, but he helped restart the Conservative movement and molded it for many years.
And most people who actually knew him, said he was not loud or brash in person.
I enjoyed listening to him.

"They [black people] are 12 percent of the population. Who the hell cares?"
"He is exaggerating the effects of the disease. He's moving all around and shaking and it's purely an act. ... This is really shameless of Michael J. Fox. Either he didn't take his medication or he's acting."
"Holocaust 90 million Indians? Only four million left? They all have casinos, what's to complain about?"
Please love yourself.

"He is exaggerating the effects of the disease. He's moving all around and shaking and it's purely an act. ... This is really shameless of Michael J. Fox. Either he didn't take his medication or he's acting."
Fox admitted to not taking his meds to exaggerate the symptoms of his Parkinson's disease in the hope of encouraging stem cell research.
So yeah, Rush was right on that one, at least.

I had made a deliberate choice to appear before the subcommittee without medication. It seemed to me that this occasion demanded that my testimony about the effects of the disease, and the urgency we as a community were feeling, be seen as well as heard. For people who had never observed me in this kind of shape, the transformation must have been startling.

Not sure the first paragraph is honest. The next two, well, four hours a day, and I don't know what MJF was saying at the time. We should ask Larry about the Indians but he was already driven off by the liberals who don't like him.
Education is extremely important.

Oh, do fuck off. Honestly, Larry doled out way more vitriol than anything he received from me and "all the liberals" here.

I'm all for stem cell research. I understand what Parkinson's looks like. Rush was wrong there.

Won't and can't. I don't know the context, and I'm too lazy to look it up. You can form and keep your own opinions on those. I don't have any.
I do, however, recall the MJF stuff.
And, by the way, how did all that embryonic stem cell stuff work out, almost 20 years later?
