Did Limbaugh suddenly turn into a liberal?

It sure sounds like it, at least on Iraq (ttp://www.rushlimbaugh.com/home/daily/site_100306/content/truth_detector.guest.html).
Looking at the Woodward book, I have a strategery, folks. I think there's two things we can do in Iraq. Let me run them by you and see what you think. The first thing is that we pull back out of Baghdad, and we position along the Syrian, Jordan and Iranian borders, and we say to the Iraqis:

"We're going to stop anybody coming across these borders. No more help from Iran. No more from Syria. No more from Jordan. Nobody's getting into this country. If we have to, we'll go 20 miles inland in each of these countries to make sure nobody gets through, but this is on you. We will make sure nobody else gets in.
Pull back to the borders you say? Why, that sounds an awful lot like redeployment. Hmmm. Jack Murtha suggested that a year ago, and it's gotten a lot of Democratic support--and now El Rushbo is on board, I guess.

Well, as my daddy was wont to say, even a dog's ass gets lucky once in its life. Rushbo, looks like this was your one time.

Rush coined the term Feminazi, so he can’t be all bad.

Anyway, just because Democrats propose something, that hardly makes it liberal. Hillary Clinton wants to ban the sell of video games to minors. That certainly isn’t very liberal, and she’s a Democrat.

Wow...that's actually a really good idea.

It takes the Lawrence of Arabia doctrine ("It's better that the Arabs should do it acceptably than you should do it perfectly") to a point where it could work very well.

Actually, I find the coining of that term particularly odious, especially given how Republicans screech like bitches the second anyone dares mention Hitler and Bush in the same book, much less sentence. But, IOKIYAR, just as its always been.

And this case of redeployment is very much a liberal idea. Murtha is the point man, and while he's not particularly liberal, the people backing him on this are. They're the liberal wing of the Democratic party.

Where were you last year when Murtha suggested it from the floor of the House?

You’d be amazed at all the things you don’t find offensive when you don’t identify with either major party.

Doesn't sound very liberal to me. It's just going to cause less Americans to die, which will take some of the heat off of politicians proposing this redeployment. The Civil War will go on.

Has nothing to do with party, really. I was more pointing out Limbaugh's hypocrisy. I think the Nazi comparisons are pretty much always bullshit, no matter who's throwing them around.

I sincerely hope Rush Limbaugh is not turning into a liberal, as I don't want to have anything in common with that idiot.

Heavens, yes. The man's idiocy has never been dependent solely on his position on the political spectrum. There are many, many intelligent and reasonable conservatives out there, but Limbaugh is manifestly not among them.

Yeah, I like to go for the slightly more obscure Goebbels-Fox News references, myself.

But meh, to each his own.

And Boy-howdy. Whodda thunk that securing the borders of a nation you have invaded would be a good idea? It sounds so crazy it just might work.
