    This was McFarlane’s half-hour hissy fit against the right
    because he knows his camp is about to be slaughtered
    next month. Still wondering why Rush participated…

    Having seen the reports, I never watch this show on principle…. And Rush appearing on it… Made me groan and hold my head in my hands shaking and saying “Jesus… Why did you do that Rush?” I can’t believe he would give the same show that mocked Sarah Palin and her child Trig and Jesus… To me, it does not work… It does not work… Disappointed…

    What about the part when Brian told Rush “ Nancy plosi is a crack head”

    Oh yea! That was priceless

    It is easy to find flaw in a man who opens his hand to his adversary but a clenched fist will ever be alone. By crossing over into the Star Wars bar scene of liberals (as Rush likes to refer to it) he shown in his actions that our side can have humility, friendliness, humor and laugh at one’s self. In allowing comedic mockery he still was able to deliver some of our core beliefs as conservatives.

    Alone the lines about “reading the book first, then make a judgement“ were worth the jabs as they were so truthful that even the dullest of liberals would have to admit that judging something without knowing any real thing about it is idiotic and hardly worthy of their ”brainy” self-stereotype.

    Global warming backed by science? She sounds like a jew?? I remember the hit job Time magazine did on Rush in the early 90s. This time he did it to himself.

    Rush said on his show today that Family Guy creator Seth McFarlane told him that he got a lot of heat for bringing him on. ******** can’t laugh at anything. Dour sick constipated losers. Rush had a lot of bad lines taken out he said. Too many were left in I felt. One nonsense was the global warming argument where they said they had scientific proof of it, nothing about the lies of their so called proof- East Anglia emails and all. Ripping on Bush with the lollipop was not good either. But overall we gave them a good b-slapping and got Rush and the Conservative view shown.

    Relax, if the right can’t laugh at itself once in a while, we’ll become as self important, self absorbed, self righteous and sanctimonious as all the those pinheads on the left. I thought it was great that the uber liberal character, Brian the dog, was getting attacked by a gang of thugs and the right (Rush) saves his bacon.

    C’mon…
    It’s Equal Opportunity Offense on a show that usually skewers everybody – just not equally.
    And this baloney about giving the Left ammo – since WHEN did they ever need ammo?
    They don’t need facts, they don’t use logic – they have no reason to.
    I think the greater exposure Rush gets, the better.
    Polls show a substantial number of Americans believe he misleads the country – how many of them have ever actually listened to more than ten minutes of his show?

    Rush is a VERY funny man if you listen long enough, probably on par with Letterman for making people squirm.

    First Elton John sings at his wedding and now this. I think Rush is a closet Liberal. When people get older and start to mature, they realize that helping others is really all that matters.

      Have you ever had someone pick a fight with you, you remained calm and kind and reasonable in the face of it, the guys claims victory and stomps away with epeen intact.

      Everyone there, however, knows who the biggest man is…and who the loser is.

      It’s a bigger game, really. You plant the seeds where you may, and hope they take root….

      The reasons are the following…

      1) A chance to reach a new potential Audience that has never heard of him,thus increase interest in checking out his Radio Show.

      2) Show a sense of Humor and that Conservatives are not stuffy and can actually laugh at themselves.

      3) Use laughter to Reach the mostly liberal Audience of ‘Family Guy’ and maybe have a few more liberals hate Rush a little less through laughter in a show that they love.

      4) The only chance you have to change Liberals minds is to go where they hang out right?And thats what he did.

      5) Just because you and I have heard of Rush,doesnt mean that everyone else has,there are still many people who dont know his name or heard of him but disregarded..Now more people have a reason to find out more about Rush Limbaugh because he did what he did. Dumb you say? This was a very smart move if you really think about it.

    I dislike how they portray conservatives as extremists. Some are, but probably not most. The same with the left. It’s hard being a centrist that relates to both sides of the spectrum. I agree, the RepublicanTown skit was giving ammo to the left; a laugh at the expense of conservatives. Mocking the extremes of either side only further promotes the notion of a divided people.

    for comparison watch the most recent Cleveland brown show (Cleveland brown live) and watch for the values message, as arianna bear (voiced by arianna huffington ) cheats on her christian husband….

    rush was in a funny and intelligent parody.. and had a much better message

    I enjoyed the episode, and didn’t take the jabs too seriously. Some of the political jokes in the past were below the belt, yet this piece was largely satire.

    Family Guy’s a pretty stupid show. I had an ex-girlfriend that used to make me sit and watch it with her. It’s pretty bad.

      Go watch the whole show. You might learn a thing or two. The kind of thing Rush and Bill show daily by example, like doing an appearance like this or on the Daily Show.

      Heh heh heh, it’s not possible for Conservatives to look foolish, for the truth is…well…true.

      I think it‘s great when people don’t take themselves too seriously, and are confident enough to be parodied…or even to get paid to parody one’s self.

      When you arrive at that place, emotionally, you will be a centered and healthy human being of maturity, class, and grace.

      I wouldn‘t say it’s giving them “ammo”… but showing people that even “hard nosed Rush” can even laugh at himself. This was shown to most of the people who would rather stick pencils in their ears than listen to his radio show… so I guess this was a good thing.

      I am centered and emotionally healthy. Its the idiots that watch it that are not…and they take this stuff to heart. They think Rush is really a bigot and a homophobe because he does something like this. They believe all Conservatives want is to throw grandma on the streets and kill abortion doctors. It’s those people who get fuel from this fire and become less stable and will not listen to the conservative message because they think they know it because Rush said it on Family Guy…

      Just stupid to add to the fodder. Rush should know better!

      Why let the 1% who will never like anything he does stop the rest of us from enjoying a GREAT parody? They already imagine more “ammo” than we could possibly give them. Besides, hearing them squeal is almost as entertaining as the parody itself, don’t you think? :-O)

      Nothing reinforces Family Values more than paying Rush Limbaugh to appear on the family guy tv show. Unless of course he could go back in time and appear on Pee Wee’s Playhouse.
