Rush isn't the only one, just the most prominent. Some people are comparing what was done in the Abu Ghraib prison to fraternity hazing. Here's Rush Limbaugh's comment:
This is no different than what happens at the skull and bones initiation and we're going to ruin people's lives over it and we're going to hamper our military effort, and then we are going to really hammer them because they had a good time.
Granted, some of the pictures sure do look like what you'd see during pledge week. Guys stripped naked with a hood on, made to whack off or form a human pyramid while the Greeks ridicule them. In fact, if that ubiquitous female soldier that appears in so many of the pictures pointing at various cocks was a guy wearing a shirt with Greek letters on it you would have no problem believing the pics were shot at an ivy league school in the USA.
But it wasn't hazing. It was torture. It does not matter if the exact same things were done to those prisoners as the local chapter of Lamda Delta Phi does to their pledges. The two things are completely different. They are different in the same way that loaning your buddy $50 is different from being robbed at gunpoint. One is voluntary, the other is forced under threat of death.
If you can't see the difference between "If you want to get invited to the best keggers for the next four years you better put this hood on and jerk off on your buddy" and "Climb on your naked buddy's back or I will shove this probe up your ass and shock your genitals until they burn" then you need a serious reality check. Or a nationally broadcast radio show.
I hate him. Fatuous asshole. And he wonders why he received so little sympathy for his OxyContin and Vicodin habit?
It's because he never gives any sympathy OUT.
Thanks for making the Left's arguments against this war for them, Rush. Oh: You didn't realize you were doing that? Well, you are.
I concur, Dad loves Rush, but i personally cannot stand the pompous windbag. He is at the fore of right- wingers and he is helping to promote all of the negative stereotypes that he rails so hard against. He needs to try to order someone else's dog around to let him know that he is not always right and not the highest form of life (insert substance abuse joke here) on the planet. Grrrr.
