I think Republicans should stop using "legitimate". I do not think it means what they think it means - Edit 1

I saw this in Doonesbury's "Say What?" section:

This has to be a tough call for the environmentalists around the world. They're scrambling now to blame this on global warming...Much of the damage seems to have happened in that part of Japan most heavily involved in manufacturing cars. So do environmentalists cheer or do they pretend to be saddened by this? It's a legitimate question.

Peter King thinks terrorism against those he dislikes "legitimate" and Limbaugh thinks a question about invented allegations are; ah, rhetoric....

Exactly what events in Japan does he think environmentalists are "scrambling" to blame on global warming? The earthquake? The tsunami? The worsening dangers at the nuclear power plant? Which environmentalists are involved in this "scramble" of his; does he have any examples or did he just pull that out of his ample posterior? THOSE are legitimate questions. Accusing those you dislike of a position no rational person has taken just so you can rhetroically ask which reprehensible (and imaginary) choice they should make isn't a legitimate question at all; it's little more than slander (and we all know how Rush feels about THAT. )
