Gees, I finally did some homework on this liberal-bashing Limbaugh character. Too bad more folks don't. Let's see ... he was a washed out rock & roll DJ; a racist pro football commentator (needless to say that vocation was shortlived!); a college drop out who, by his own mother's admission "flunked everything"; no military service though of age during the Vietnam War; and, most recently, a convicted drug thief who did eighteen months in rehab. Oh well, nobody's perfect. On air he has lampooned Michael J. Fox's parkinon's disease as a phoney "act". He has described the disgusting Abu Ghraib jail torture and prisoner abuse incident as American soldiers having a "good time." It was all just some well-deserved military "recreation." Hmmm. Maybe that explains why he's not stepping up to the plate to do any USO tours? Also on air, he described the Clinton's young daughter as "the White House dog." He has parodied AIDS victims as sexually capricious. Well, he would know all about that. Rush Limbaugh goes through women faster than I can wear out levis. Five different women have had serious relationships with him since 1977. Three of them ended in divorce. Curiously, one of his last flings (which began while he was still married) was with TV host Daryn Kagan. She's Jewish and definitely appears to be very liberal. A man of genuine conviction! I'm surprised that this gig lasted 16 months. Oh, and Rush does so much charity work - but only if it gives him some media coverage. Ya gotta spend some money to make a lot more.

I can't believe this loser is the most listened-to media voice in America. Unfortunately, history has shown that twisted hate-mongers do well in the media in hard times. Everyone is looking for a quick fix and someone to blame. Worked for Hitler too. That loser managed to get millions killed.

Come on HENGST! You gotta stop hiding your feelings and just come out and tell us what you really think! ;-)

I guess I haven't gotten to the part of the Dec issue that you're talking about. I want to read it for myself before I pass judgement. F&S is AGAINST Rush because he opposes DOGFIGHTING? That's the same as saying F&S is FOR DOGFIGHTING. And that's just insane. I can't believe it.

I agree with you that Rush is one of the best, loudest, and most articulate voices for freedom and patriotism - a voice of reason, common sense and traditional values in a world and country going mad.

Rush really lost some credibility with this - figure of all people he would have done his homework before supporting the HSUS. And, if he did his homework and still supports them, then he is a villian to all sportsmen, no matter his political views.

There is no halfway with the HSUS. Any of you that think otherwise had better pull your head out of the sand and open your eyes. The HSUS is associated with PETA. While PETA is out there to be seen, the HSUS is the slimy underbelly, doing whatever they can, without morals or ethics, chipping away at our hunting, fishing, trapping, and animal husbandry rights. They have filed countless lawsuits against sportsmen's rights in virtually every state. They are well-funded and will stoop to any low to achieve their goals.

Their name alone misleads many people who think they are giving money to state Humane Societies. They are being investigated for this and for misappropriations of many millions of dollars meant for animal welfare after the hurricanes in New Orleans. They even started a scheme using a name that sounded like a pro-hunting organization, taking hunters's money and using it to support anti-hunting activities. It was brought out when people noticed that the people running the organization were also associated with HSUS.

Don't give them an inch, a red cent, or any trust, no matter what they do. They are intent and focused and funded to take away the lifestyles we hold dear.

Great job, Bob! And I thought I was the super-researcher. Incredible! Ewing is absolutely right. This Rabbitpolice character is a charlatan. He/she's an animal-lover cyber terrorist here to make problems. The editors need to "off" this dude. Bob, please start another thread exposing this clown. I'll be happy to do it if you don't want to. Thanks very much!

OHH

While I have not researched Rushball's sordid background, I am aware of his drug issues and before that I thought he was a big bag of hot air. You know what is usually found in the media circus? Media clowns and media monkeys! LOL

I'll do as I want,so I'll keep reading F&S............Free world,I do as I want,not what people want me to do!

rabbitlice88
Who's whining or complaining,if you could go back and read you would see that everyone is voicing their concerns that you can't hold a intelligent conversation.They tried to address your Pidgeon holing any veiw other than yours down to one label or another;telling others to pound sand,salt or any other mineral;looking for spelling errors instead of reading for content;asserting your more authoritive when you offer no credentials; dismissing the others view without knowing there credentials;posting inaccurate information based on what you believe;dismissing information based on source and not veting the information;not suppling a source for your fact yet you ask others to back their fact;telling others to go do the research when you don't know how to do it yourself;telling others to go and educate themselves when you clealy have never tried[fore mentioned items]and clearly stating you hold to a higher morality than others on this site ,when you don't know anyone here.
When a man is the sum of his words,then a man should know how to use them,know when not to use them and certainly read all of them.That would make him a man.You say there are too many sex ads in Field & Stream.I don't see them,but that would be the difference between us.I'm a happily married man in a active marriage,I can turn a page and read the magazine for its content and perticipate in life outside my home.I'm sure you go hunting and fishing to clear your head , when it comes to Field & Stream your head is not on hunting and fishing.
Your the one who needs to go and find another web site;pissing on others views ,giving out bad advice just to get the easy points,posting topics not related hunting of fishing just to get a rise and points.

All of these and your name seems to be derived from the story of a woman in Hillsboro,Oregon who was charged with RABBIT hoarding by POLICE and had "88" frozen rabbits in the freezer.
This leads me to think your a PETA member or some other anti.

I would hope your not,if you can't be voted off ,then for the sake of this forum retire your name,come back as a man who can be tolerant of another opinion that differs from your unfounded facts.That way everyone can share and learn about hunting and fishing without being sidelined by this other garbage.
Well rabbit
What are you here for ,hunting and fishing or are you here to disrupt others from sharing in it?
You don't have to subscibe to Field & Stream to post here.Although there are other sources of info that you don't subscribe to that have websites more appropriate for the subjects you choose to follow.Why don't you go there ,then come back to Field & Stream when you want to talk hunting and fishing.
What you say to others you differ with ? Thats right " go somewhere else ,this site is for people interested in hunting and fishing"
Think first before you tell me to prove anything I've said ,you have spewed enough,now look at your own profile and "go educate yourself"

So defensive. How do you react when someone attacks your religion? Then again, maybe Rush is your religion.

Why do you question how a person would label themself? Then again If I had the misfortune to win one of Limpball's "ED" fishing trips ,I'd be a paranoid as you. LOL

I'm emotionally torn on this one. I have seen the HSUS do good. They're behind closing of dogfighting rings, and puppy and kitten mills. I've personally seen the results. Go out and help with one of their operations and then try to condemn them.

But yes, the leadership has currently gotten a bit strange. I fear they have been infiltrated by the PETA-type zealots.

And while I don't consider myself too political, I've seen that Rush is right a lot more times than he's been wrong.

Thats a s#it# idea because who even cares its just an artical and one person wrote not the whole magazine. And nice post to WA Mtnhunter Bill Engvall is good.

Well, this is interesting! Here's Rabbit criticizing someone for protecting his wallet and his job and supposedly not worrying about anyone else (although Matt didn't really say that). But those of us who advocate a national health plan that would make health care available for everyone and turn the tables over on the life-robbing, blood-money mongering insurance companies, well we're nothing but liberal ghouls trying to bring down America. Why? Because we care about looking out for others and not just big business. I don't know if that makes me a "liberal" or not. But I do know this kind of attitude definitely classifies me as a Christian.

This reminds me of a preciou moment years ago when I was teaching high school in a northern Idaho rural community. I announced one morning in freshman general science class that we would be starting a new unit on ecology. A boy in the back of the room jumped to his feet and hollered "Like hell! My dad told me those ecologists are a bunch of damned communists." Well, that came out of left field! After a momentary pause I asked the young man if his dad had tole him what a communist was. He retorted back "An ecologist!" I left it at that: Danny's dad was killed a few months before in a logging accident. The moral of the story: explore fully all facets of "labels" before you commit to them. Perhaps it is wrong to commit to judging people based on labels - e.g. "Samaritan". Better think about that one.

Still Spewing?

Gees, break out the hip waders. It's getting deep in here.

I suppose he had been on a fishing trip with the four guys he was with when apprehended with the ED prescription ("V" word since the complete name caused my post to be blocked?). Doesn't everyone carry their ED drugs on hunting and fishing trips with the guys? LOL

Dan- here is my issue with liberals. I love capitalism many liberals do not (not all but a fair share), more liberals than conservatives buy into the BS poured out by the HSUS and PETA (this in the end could end hunting and fishing forever), more liberals than conservatives are for strict gun laws. I know not ALL liberals are like this. However, when liberals who are fans of capitalism and hunting allow someone to come into power who has all along been against these I have some problems.

Liberal or conservative I don't care, but if you start to ignore the constitution, restrict hunting, "redistribute wealth", ignore the bill of rights, and expand government, I WILL have some problems. Granted many republicans (not real conservatives though) seem to be fine with the expanded government and ignore the constitution and bill of rights as well. However, more often than not it is liberals who fall into the above category.

But personally, Dan, you seem to be like a descent person so regardless of your political stance I respect your knowledge and love of not just the outdoors but HUNTING!

Cheers,

Spartan88

I almost forgot to apologize. How dare I think for myself instead of letting Rush Limbaugh and the rest of the Republican establishment put words in my mouth?

Rush has aligned himself with one of our #1 enemies. What part of that don't you get?

Rush did step in it.

A patriot?, I think that is rather strong.

Iam not Canceling my subscription to one of the best outdoors mags ever just because they said Rush Limbaugh is a villian.

Rush lives off of fear. He is like a vulture looking for any issue that he can feed on as it rots under the heat of the media glare. Rush is not a truth teller, but a truth manipulator. He skews stories every way he can to polarize us, the audience. When he has established his bogeyman, then he has succeeded in his effort of stopping dialog. We are left with the dittoheads scared of or distrustful enough, of anyone with a view differing from their own, that they can do nothing but point and mutter obscenities under their breath.

WAM: my bad, on the spelling.

Rabpolice:

no thanks on looking anything up for your dude, got way more sense then that.
liberial/conservative, well name calling and insulting is a coping mechanism for ones of shortness of understaning the whole diversified picture, I have never claimed to be either, if I was to claim a party it would be which one keeps me employed, my wallet fat, and safe, so for me it is independant, me, myself and I.

Oh and here is a thought for all those above: did the person who wrote thos message thread stop visiting this site? and truely cancel his mag subscription? thats the funny part.

Rabbitt, if you are questioning my duty to the United States of America, please do not, I served, did you? if yes, then good.
2. I vote, for who I believe can do the best job, not one certain party, that is the me, myself and I, I claim no party over the other. 3. Our founding fathers; where capitalist who only wanted to serve themselves and get richer, as like today, the Revolution, was a way to break free from the King of England and thus make more money. 4. Proof of your double standard, your on the website, that is promoted by the same magazine that you said you do not read, that is a double standard.

No, not whining and complaining,as I said, what your saying lacks the merit I choose to listen to. Twisted= well not really, but for your sake I will not go there.
What is there that I have not backed up? that your boy is a pill-popper? proven. backing up my alegiance to the country= did it and still do.
I really think your missing the point I have tried to make, that is "pagunowner, the one that started this thread, said he that he was done, and left, while this thread is still alive?"
If your so in love with rush, go blog with him.
Intelligent conversations, well when you say "mouth" instead of voice or opinion, you lack the vocabulary for said intelligent conversation. Good luck to you.

Seriously WAM, I'm not name calling, I just wonder why every time something is brought up/wrote about that "rabbit" disagrees with his response it to call that person a liberal, and that just make me curious as to what his agenda is all about.

he does not even like the magazine, why be on the forum it supports? once again, very odd.

as far as his track record, well I care less.

I think I want to end in saying, "rush rules, rabbit is right and today I bought the brooklyn bridge."

But I have plenty to do and I'll read about it much later.
Ontario Honker,feel free to start a thread that bashes those " Filibustering PETA loving rabbit hoarders".One would have to be careful in the wording of that thread so it doesn't get pulled.There is a retired conservation officer from WV who posted a question of rancidlice88's occupation,The question was pulled by the next morning.Never found out if I received any points for"He's a rabbit hoarder which is a full time job in it self.But for extra money he mows lawns".I also wonder if the officer lost 1000 points just trying to see if someone was one the job.To that gentleman I apologize.But sir I couldn't resist.Now the wife and I are off for the weekend,I'll grab my Field and Steam to reread a few items and laugh at page 71.

only liberals hate him???....well I am not a liberal and I can stand the fat fool....of course I am not a republican or democrat either,,,I learned long ago that no matter who I voted for nothing really ever changed to amount to much of anything....
A president can only do what the politicians allow him to do and the politicians do what the big money says they can do or they face hardtimes with all those lobbyists.....
Some more history on ole Rush Limpballs that these younger people never bother to read about..Rush Limpballs used his pilonidal cyst - a congenital but operable birth defect - to
avoid military service in the Vietnam War...
In 1971 Limballs attended Southeastern Missouri University,
where, according to reports, he had a brief but heated affair
with Elliot Sanders. So gay is Limbaugh, guarantees Sanders,
that, "none of his marriages was ever consummated."...
After more failed stints with Missouri radio stations Limballs
moved to Sacramento, CA, where he met and became "friends"
with Norm Woodruff, a flamboyant, openly gay man with a
great deal of influence in the local radio scene. Woodruff, who
mentored Limbaugh in the ways of affluence and elitism (traits
Rush mocks today), who later died of AIDS....
Limballs briefly worked for radio stations in Pittsburgh, PA and Kansas City,MO. Fired from both jobs, he worked as a wiener salesman for the KC Royals baseball franchise....LOL
selling wieners is a good job for him......I bet with his big fat mouth and floppy jowls he could break the world record of wiener stuffing!!!! (((PUN INTENDED)))

Are people seriously angry about F&S calling Rush Limbaugh a villain? They called it how it is, and they makes me more likely to renew.

oh,go have a bake sale!

Robert Ewing, what happened? Was that a stream of consciousness blog?

I also love this magazine. If you are so petty that you would cancel a subscription because of one or two mess ups then why are you even using their website?

Its DECEMBER can't you find something better to write about than politics? I subscribe to read about hunting and fishing. Not political commentary no offense. I need expert advice on HUNTING and FISHING. Sometimes you can push your politics too far. print some good hunting stories instead please. Either way ya get my money!!

the smart a$$ who started this argument

If your not aware Rush made a bad choice and F&S knifed him for it.He was WRONG you should know that and if you don't,you should as you say" go educate yourself".

is this still being talked about...rush, what a waste of time and air.

the man is a bafoone! No he cannot be the most listened to talkshow, people have more sense then that, or I hope.

Man.. Rabbitpolice88 get off his jock!

spartan88

It is in the right place- - Backlash and Blowback AKA P1$$ing and Moaning! LOL

That's what this Board is for!

Yes, I'm for myself and my wallet, I cannot rely on anyone else to take care of myself and my own, I alone am responsible for my family and I.
This used to be how American's took care of themself and their families
It is quite funny how a person who does not subscribe to the magazine, has so much to say on that magazine's webstie, and your only reply is sex ads/hard earned money, weak.
This thread was about Rush/dog fighting. I do not like either.

Being responsible for what I say, I am.
No, words do not describe a person, the actions of those words are what describes people, and as I stated, you (Rabbitpolice) are a hypercryte(sp)that there says spelling mistake I note.
Again, name calling for something so "not needed" / "i kant spel, haha (that is me laughing)

Yes this thread is in the right place, but quite funny now, with that does the owner of it "pagunowner" even exist? posted and left, yet we keep alive? makes me wonder?!

Rush is America's best allie? well yes he is, an allie of phizer/ or any other drug company, and do not say he is in pain, you don't know about back pain, yes I do, I took care of it, with excerise.

No, he is nothing more then an old white male, with a bunch of clonies who think they know something, but it is nonsense.

So Mr.rabbit/rush supporter, I have nothing else to say, it is a waste of time, I wish you the very best, but this is no longer even remotely fun chatting with you, your commnets lack the merit I want to respond to.

Or was WAM'er pointed out, no more whining.

Dude, are we still going on about Rush Limbaugh? Geez.

RP88

I have never personally met the person that I 100% agree with. I hope to meet him in eternity!

WA Mtnhunter,
You kill me..LMAO!!!

Hey windak ,it's the year 2010 now not 1872.Reform is way past due,but I would also suggest you go back and read that article again before you start running them down,but start on page 26.

LIBERAL liberal Liberal lIbErAl Yes, I admit under the blinding lights of your accusations mr. rabbitpolice, I am a LIBERAL. You seem to invision a perfect world and forum where everyone agrees with your opinions. How boring would that be? You would have no place to purge your bile. Our outdoor brother&sisterhood is united in our love of the outdoors, but differ on our preferred styles of hunting and fishing. When you go beyond the commonalities that we share in the field you will find that our personal stories, histories, paths followed, and the resultant beliefs held may differ greatly, but are wonderfully different. To paraphrase Forrest Gump: "Hunters are like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get."

Flannel, Where did I get political?
rabbit, In this house we buy our powder,we don't need to make it.

Cancelling magazing subscriptions because of one disagreement is pretty weak. I bet you've done this many times.

Nate

Ricochet,
SO TRUE!
a +1 for you.

Nate

im not going to cancel my subscription but im certinly not happy about putting rush as a villin,

I love this magazine! it rocks! plus this website! I care less about what that guy says.

Rush Limbaugh an ill-informed loudmouth? That's an understatement. I don't know what he's saying about anything or what anybody's saying about him. And I don't care. Whenever I see that clown's name I just tune out. Flip to a different page.

WAM, it's not what you know but who you know. Obviously, someone we know is "well-known" in F&S editorial circles. Probably a relative. I can't think of any other reason that could explain the recent turn of events. Let's let it slide for the sake of those who need good advice from folks who are truely knowledgable.

Honker, Rush knows far more about politics than just about anyone, he has been doing radio for 20 plus years. The man knows what he is talking about, most of what he predicts comes true. Do you even live in the US?

Look it up Matt, he is and people have plenty of sense, they listen to him. Now I know to be on the watch out of a few more liberals.

It makes sense you don't know what I was talking about when it comes to life. Because according to your own comments all you care about is yourself and your wallet, everyone else can just go pound salt. Nobody likes hunting with, fishing with or flat out associating with some one with that kind of attitude. It is one of the most immature comments a person can make.

WA Mtnhunter
I do apologize then, I misunderstood what you were trying to communicate. I know that you and I usually agree on most things so that kind of took me by surprise. I hope you are not offended! The Alec Baldwin comment wasn't aimed at you, it was aimed at someone else, just fyi.

HI,
I have never written to a blog before, but this one article is WAY TOO MUCH! Issue of March 2010, page 27. I am hoping that I am interpretting the article wrong, but I read it as saying the mining laws of 1872 should be changed. Conservationists want all mining done away with and it sounds like your magazine does, also. I love the outdoors and so do my family and friends. Part of the time is hunting, part time is fishing and the rest of the time is dredging for gold. We are not hurting the enviroment in any way and it is being proven all over again. Just as one or two bad hunters will close off areas that used to be open to other hunters, bad miners will give other miners a bad name. Remember, once you start to close or outlaw certain outdoor activities, others will follow. There is talk of banning recreational fishing out here on the west coast. Next it will be all hunting rights, what then, banning a walk on the beach. It is time to make a change and Obama sure as hell is not the one to do it. He is fake from the start and just getting worse!!
If I read another article about him and his "wonderful politics" I will cancel my subscription.

i hunt and fish to get away from allt the political crap..everyone relax and go take a breath of fresh air:)

I'm not renewing my subscription. This magazine has become too political and too liberal- from the rantings of Bob Algore Marshall to naming Rush Limbaugh the villian of the year over the likes of Arnold and Ingrid Newkirk. It's become the outdoors bastion of crybaby liberal douchebaggery. The fact that you have people joining because they named Rush the villian of the year tells a lot of the direction of the magazine. Sad. Good riddance F & S- have fun with the Huffington Post and the Daily KOS.

I actaully enjoy Field and Stream, and really disklike Limbaugh, fat )(*)(&* who just runs his mouth off.......

That would be a good guess, I have been listening to Rush since I was nine or ten. I know truth when I hear it, I don't take what Rush says at face value, I do my own research as well. The point is if you don't like Rush you are a bitter liberal, your own remarks tell me that much. Rush has been right on far more subjects than he has been wrong on. He has a very good track record and I would say that a large percentage of Americans agree with me. He has the most listened to talk show in America, I would wager that most of those listeners agree with most of what Rush has to say.

Now you are making no sense and you can't spell. How am I a quitter, I haven't quit anything in my life. Explain how I am a hypocrite too, how do I say one thing and do the opposite? I don't have to deal with sex ads on the website, I am not paying any of the F&S people my hard earned money to go and support Obama and attack the one man who is probably one of America's greatest allies. I utilize this website to talk with other sportsmen not to keep up with whatever F&S is doing. What comes out of your mouth represents what you believe, words are what men live by in case you didn't know that. What you communicate says something about who you are. It's just a fact of life.

Drink some more Rush kool-aid guys, all bow before the mighty Rush Limbaugh, follow all that Rush says you lemmings.....don't know if he is a patriot or not but he is a chicken-hawk

Intolorant, who is the one that is wanting me to get voted off the website? Who is the one who wants me to change my name? Typical liberal, if you can't deal with the competition, you either silence it or try and intimidate the opposition into silence. Liberals have been trying to do that with the "fairness doctrine" I am sure you are familiar with that one.

rp88

I think much of what he says has real merit, assuming one can get past all the guff! He was right about the Clinton's and many were against his rhetoric then too!

Liberals destroy what this country was founded on, they work against the America that so many men fought and died for. Case in point, we have obama in office that just turned us into a socialist nation.

It's called speed reading actually, everything that comes out of your mouth is politically liberal. You really need to go hunting or fishing or something. I have been fishing 3 times this last week and hunting twice, what about you?

Here are a few books I highly suggest you read. Author: David McCullough, John Adams, Winner of the pulitzer prize.
Author: Larry Schweikart and Michael Allen, A patriot's History of the United States. From Columbus's Great Discovery to the war on Terror.

Author:David McCullough, 1776, winner of the Pulitzer prize.

Not a baby yote by any stretch of the imagination, yotes aren't as big in the South as they are in Canada honker. I shot that yote at night, he was 250 yards away, all I had to aim at was it's glowing eyes, aimed at them and hit him in the neck.

Right, and I always read all the words, but conservative is the way to go, Obama is destroying our country. So Rush is the Man.

Yes, but one of us is right and one of us is wrong, I personally will go with the founding fathers on almost every issue when it comes to running this country. Conservatism is the way to go, a free market, low taxes and hard working, can do attitude. A patriotism that can hardly be contained. An economically free country, a country that is not a socialist state. The land of the free and home of the brave, a limited government, of the people, by the people and for the people. That is the country I want. Liberals flat out do not believe in any of this, they believe in quite the opposite actually. I know this because half my family is liberal and the other half is conservative. For crying out loud look at what obama has done to this country in the short time he has been in office. He has done more to destroy the country that our founding fathers fought and died for than any other man that ever lived. The US is no longer even considered the most economically free country in the world any more. Canada is Considered more free than we are, does this not anger you to your very core. This is a slap in the face of freedom and the men who died to protect it.

I have a love for limited government the kind of government that our founding fathers fought, bled and died for. Small government, the kind that doesn't get into every nook and cranny of a person's life. You can think what ever you want about my presumed " hidden agenda" but my track record speaks for itself. You and Honker go have a nice day.

Georgec88, what are you?

I am having the debate you are the one that came in spewing liberal trash.

I'll bet you love Alec Baldwin's radio show! OH, wait! his radio show was a total failure. He couldn't get one person to call in, he ended up having to call his mother to get someone to talk to. Why aren't there any famous liberal talk show hosts?

My religion is "under attack" more than you would think. There are several people on this site that don't like Christians. If you care to go back and look through the archives you check for yourself.

Gota love how liberals deal with folks they don't agree with, first they try and smear them and then they try and force them into silence, so typical.
