Note to Rush, Go Back to Betty Ford
One should not get the impression from below that I think Al Gore should have kept his mouth shut, criticism of the administration is needed (and easy). I think Gore's delivery was the problem. I'm also disappointed, but not surprised with Limbaugh's response.
I wrote Limbaugh off a long time ago. Back in the 1990's in fact when he took his frustration of Clinton out on then 13 year old Chelsea. Remember that, showing a picture of an awkward 13 year old and then a dog. Yeah, that's impressive Rush, it takes a big man to go after a 13 year old. Anyway, that was the end of his credibility for me. But yesterday Rush's response to Gore's critism amounted to a call for fascism.

Huh? We're fighting an enemy that allows no dissent from its dogmatic view of the world. One that controls and censors its own media. Our strength as a country is our diversity and I mean that on many levels. (E Pluribus Unum!) It's this messy annoying and sometimes cloying debate that is our strength. This mess is the fountainhead of new ideas that propel us ahead economically, socially and militarily. Bush is a strong enough believer in his purpose that he won't be suaded and he may even get a few more ideas Rummy's not sharing with him.
As for our adversaries, they should not underestimate that this bickering family called America closes ranks when you attack us on our soil.
