Rush Limbaugh History Lesson: Jane Fonda shot down McCain's plane in Viet Nam!
I heard him suggest this yesterday. You know, that North Vietnamese anti-aircraft gun could have been THE VERY SAME one that shot down John McCain!

Poor things. Too bad nobody under 40 knows who Jane Fonda is . . .

3. No, I'm sure that's true
But I'm always amused the way they use Jane to try to raise that pavlovian response in their followers . . .

6. exactly - I still marvel over the blame he placed on Bill Clinton
for the increased shark attacks off the coast of Florida a few years back.

Says a lot about his listeners when he remains on the radio after the over-the-top allegations that spill from his mouth.

23. I don't remember exactly - something about fishing limits
raising them causing the sharks to come closer to the shore to feed

something idiotic like that - but it was definitely Bill's fault

2. That is what Obama did with Clinton and Bhutto
when he accused her of being partially responsible for her death. One of the lowest points in the campaign.

7. Yes...it was an ugly time in the campaign.
I am pointing out the irony of the DU poster who hates it when Rush does it, but ignores, forgives, cheers when Obama does it.

You can't let go of your partisan divisive bullshit for one thread.

Well Obama is as bad as Limbaugh is what your trying to spew and its sickening.

Your one week grace period is coming.

12. Look at the posts here and tell me
the partisan divisive bullshit is only with Clinton supporters. Or are you suggesting that posting photos of Clinton and suggesting that she is "always drinking" is not divisive?

14. Does this thread
Have anything to do with Clinton or Obama or is it a thread bashing a RW talk show host because he's an asshole?

You took a perfectly good thread about how silly Rush is and you twisted it into a chance to smear Obama.

Its in GD P so you have a right but the fact you would rather attack Obama than Rush Limbaugh says alot about you and your credentials as a democrat.

However a thread making fun of Rush is suddenly a chance to smear Obama is something new even for this one.

4. i remember her from 80s workout tapes
I did see her around that anti-aircraft gun that fat guy is talking about. From old newsreels, she sat on a tank, but didn't shoot anybody down.

Come to think of it, it would be kinda funny if this story were true.

20. Why is anyone surprised that the guy who graduated last, a lifelong goof off, crashed?
I realize it's not popular to point out this truth, but he was a lousy pilot, just like he's a lousy politician.

24. He graduated fifth from the bottom of his class! Why is not more made
of this? He is incompetent in more ways than one, most likely could not secure a good job in the outside world. We need to make more of this. He broke his arm falling out of the tree, I believe, when he fell from the airplane.

29. Because his daddy and grandfather were big shots in the NAVY.
That's the only reason his sorry ass even went to the Naval Academy. Like Dubya, he's a third generation fuck up.

Not all the crashes were his fault, but the ones that were are real doozys.

37. What I don't get..
Is why he is referred to as so called "hero"?
A hero because he got shot down??
From what I've read...he is a rule breaking, hot-tempered, arrogant asshole.
Actually...upon reflection and from my personal past experience, he fits the profile of most fighter pilots.

21. Maybe Jane Fonda could invite Senator mCcain
to take another tour of Viet-Nam with her in order to see how the Vietnamese are getting along without our 'help' these days. They must surely be struggling horribly under the yoke of communism which by now must have spread via the domino theory all the way past Australia!

33. Recycling the hot air, I guess! From hot air comes . . . more hot air
And really, that's their biggest problem. These guys haven't developed any new material, or ideas for decades.

Jane Fonda! Ferchrissakes!

41. If I remember correctly, Jane Fonda has apologized for her youthful antics...
...like many of us, she was fed up with the bullshit coming out of Washington about the 'police action' in Viet Nam.
