Well done Reddit![/quote] This isn't really a headline so I didn't really know where else to place this thread, but anyway. Basically they are rallying to have his sponsors all suspend their ads that air on Rush's show and several have already done so. Perhaps we should contribute to his downfall source: [url]http://www.reddit.com/r/politics/comments/qeqx3/reddit_i_believe_it_is_time_to_organize_lets_take/[/url]

rus rush limbaugh

lmao reddit is so self-important. [editline]2nd March 2012[/editline] also, funny how it took Rush insulting a white women to get this going. He's said far worse things about women of color but i guess they aren't important.

As if Redditites needed some new thing to inflate their already gargantuan hot-air balloon heads.

hi, redditor here, i literally am the reason SOPA didnt't pass. worship me so brave

I think i'm missing something. who/whats rush rush?

Erm, reddit is pretty good, I don't know why you guys are knocking it.

[QUOTE=Protocol7;34970331]Good for what? Looking at stupid pictures and watching people jerk off over upvotes? No thanks.[/QUOTE] Everything sounds retarded when you simplify it like that. I guess that's because Facepunch is full of 13 year-olds that cream themselves over winners and funnies.

[QUOTE=Mad Chatter;34970374]Everything sounds retarded when you simplify it like that. I guess that's because Facepunch is full of 13 year-olds that cream themselves over winners and funnies.[/QUOTE] Count me out of your simplification because I don't give a fuck about ratings.

[QUOTE=Protocol7;34970331]Good for what? Looking at stupid pictures and watching people jerk off over upvotes? No thanks.[/QUOTE] Or for having intelligent discussions about all kinds of topics, from Astronomy to Politics. The upvotes ensure that the discussion stays relevant and essentially removes the issue of flaming. Good on them for this whole Rush Limbaugh thing, by the way.

[QUOTE=Protocol7;34970380]Count me out of your simplification because I don't give a fuck about ratings.[/QUOTE] Holy shit, get a load of this guy! He doesn't care about imaginary internet points!

[QUOTE=Mad Chatter;34970436]Look! The losing side of an argument![/QUOTE] This doesn't change the fact that 90% of Reddit is full of idiots and the other 10% are armchair activists. It's better than 4chan by a longshot - and I won't deny that they've done some good - but the place overall is unpleasant to interact with. [QUOTE=Mad Chatter;34970436]How can you claim to not care about ratings and yet use them to judge people's posts?[/QUOTE] I'm sorry, I was under the impression you too didn't care about "imaginary internet points" Guess I was wrong.

[QUOTE=Protocol7;34970421]Look! A zingwhore![/QUOTE] Or a guy with a legitimate point who will happen to get zings because of that

Or a guy who brags about not caring about ratings but is obviously posting to impress other people with his incredible and witty replies Sounds like an attention whore if I ever saw one.

[QUOTE=Megadick;34970532]Or a guy who brags about not caring about ratings but is obviously posting to impress other people with his incredible and witty replies Sounds like an attention whore if I ever saw one.[/QUOTE] Seems to me that this thread turned quickly into a shitstorm about Reddit and not Rush.

[QUOTE=Megadick;34970532]Or a guy who brags about not caring about ratings but is obviously posting to impress other people with his incredible and witty replies Sounds like an attention whore if I ever saw one.[/QUOTE] I suppose every single one of us is posting to whore for attention, then. Facepunch is just as circlejerky and self-important as Reddit in a lot of ways, the only real difference is that we're not large enough to get publicly scorned for it.

[QUOTE=C0linSSX;34970552]I suppose every single one of us is posting to whore for attention, then. Facepunch is just as circlejerky and self-important as Reddit in a lot of ways, the only real difference is that we're not large enough to get publicly scorned for it.[/QUOTE] Facepunch has never actually accomplished anything. This is far more a place for discussion than righteousness. And discussion is good so long as you keep out of the GMod section and most of FT.

Ah yes, thank you all for wrapping this little demonstration up neatly and without bloodshed. Anyway, Limbaugh has always been a loudmouthed douche, I'm surprised it took this long for (at least some) community action against him.

Don't hate (reddit), participate.

[QUOTE=Mad Chatter;34970568]Ah yes, thank you all for wrapping this little demonstration up neatly and without bloodshed.[/QUOTE] Well, to be fair, this discussion would not have been a problem if not for Lazor's wonderful derail way early I suppose when you talk about rating whores on Facepunch, you don't even have to look outside of this thread to find one.
