Rush Limbaugh is a rude, ignorant, overweight

Rush Limbaugh sm
I stopped listening to him when he started calling us feminazis. I can't believe that big load of (expletive) is still allowed on the air. Not only is he ignorant, he's a hypocrite and a druggy and if he's trying to impress someone, it's not me.
Rush Limbaugh

hero of the great unwashed said SP was a "babe", "could wear a skirt", had "definable ankles."   I thought sexism was sexism whether complementary or derogatory.  I'll know more after my bath.


 


Rush Limbaugh
I'm surprised I haven't seen Rush Limbaugh's name mentioned on this board.  Talk about a nut job!!
Al Franken on Rush Limbaugh
Al Franken on Rush Limbaugh


I've heard Al Franken say this on a television interview.  He repeated it in an interview with Geov Parrish at WorkingforChange.com (05/02/05) to which we can conveniently link:


GP: What do you think the differences are between you and Limbaugh?


AF: I'm glad you asked me that. I use this example a lot. A few months ago, Rush was talking about the minimum wage. Conservatives like to portray it that no one has to raise a family on the minimum wage, the only people who get the minimum wage are teenagers who want to buy an i-Pod. So Rush says, "75 percent of all Americans on the minimum wage, my friends, are teenagers on their first job." And one of the researchers brings this to me, with a smile, and I say, "Well, can you look it up?" And they look it up, the researcher goes to something called the Bureau of Labor Statistics. 60.1 percent of Americans on minimum wage are twenty and above. 39.9 percent, then, are either teenagers or below twelve (laughs). I had several jobs as a teenager, so you figure, what, 13 percent might be teenagers in their first job. Not 75 percent. So where did Rush get his statistic? Well, he got it directly from his butt. It went out his butt, into his mouth, out the microphone, into the air, into the brains of dittoheads. And they believe this stuff.


So we get our labor statistics from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. He gets his from the Bureau of Rush's Butt. And that's the difference. We don't do that. That's one of the main differences.


I posted it know what Rush Limbaugh said

I don't think I have wait for the liberal analysis of what Rush said.  I was actually listening on the days he said all the things you referred to above,  Of course, the so-called impoverished in this country are not the only ones with an obesity problem.  Anyone who eats more calories than their body can burn on a daily basis will end up with an obesity problem it's not exclusive to race or class. 


The UNICEF remarks were making fun of a U.N. charity program which, I believe, just last year was documented to be funneling money to Kofi Anan and his cohorts, but of course it was nicely swept under the rug.  Actually, Rush was making fun of Sally Struthers for standing around truly starving people making us feel guilty for not sending money to UNICEF while she's standing there weighing all of 300 pounds herself, and I would bet my life she didn't miss a meal while doing that shoot.


That's not the point.  I know what Rush said, because I heard what Rush said when he said it.  It was satire whether you believe or not.  Again, Rush does it, because he knows it will inflame liberals, and the PC crowd.  He didn't talk about the bloated bellies of the starving people in the context you and the article want to spin it to be. 


You don't get it, and I don't expect you to.  I politely suggest you stick to Air America (for however long it remains on the air), and don't bother yourself with what Rush has to say, because when you call him or anyone else bloated or fat you are seriously defeating your own cause in being outraged that he called someone else fat.


The liberal double standards just don't fly anymore.


Rush Limbaugh's response
Rush Responds to Democrat E-mail Petition Against Him:

"I am greatly puzzled. Why would the Democrats petition against me if I am doing such terrible damage to the GOP?
Shades of ......Rush Limbaugh!
.
Rush Limbaugh, hardly the Messiah of the Rep. party.
I agree with a lot of things he says, but just like the dems don't like to have Obama put forth as thier Messiah, I know pubs don't like to have anyone named that way - not Rush, not Newt, not anyone. And him being addicted to drugs at one point in his life has nothing to do with it. Clinton was a lying, cheating womanizer and looks like the majority of the dems got over that one!

You just have to put certain things in perspective, that's all.
Rush Limbaugh taught 'em how!
  Desperate to say something bad, even if they have to fake the film to do it!  Because they know their loyal viewers are such sheep they'll believe anything they see on their show as gospel - even if it is debunked later!
Rude, rude post. (nm)

Limbaugh vs Fox
Limbaugh is just a mean spirited, loud mouthed boorish fool.  I pray that he nor any of his close family members ever come down with a devastating illness that could possibly be helped with stem cell research.  Tell me, what happens to the embryos eventually?  They are thrown away.  Right on, Michael J. Fox, speak out and tell it like it is. 
Whose numbers? Limbaugh's
Proof please.  He's still #1 on the talk radio circuit.  If he loses a few thousands here and there it's hardly a drop in the bucket.  Liberal shows can hardly keep their power on.  There's really not an argument there.  The proof is in black and white.
I am no limbaugh fan by any means
but I do agree with him that I want our president to fail.  I don't want our country to fail, but I don't want him to be able to perform everything on his personal agenda because i don't agree with it.  There is nothing wrong with saying that.  Why would I want him to succeed when I believe everything he wants to get done will do nothing but make a government huge and run everything.  I don't want that.  I don't want more government programs that allow people to mooch off of hard working people.  Yes, I want President Obama to fail.  In my opinion, if Obama succeeds......we all lose.  I'd much rather him fail so we can hope for a brighter future.
Or they could just blame Limbaugh...
that seems to be pretty popular these days, also.
Limbaugh needs to stop lying

Limbaugh runs away from Limbaugh (Keith Olbermann)


NEW YORK - There is nothing wrong with an unpopular opinion.


Nor is there anything wrong with a subversive one, nor a crazy one. This country was founded on opinions that were deemed by the powers-that-were to be unpopular, subversive, and crazy. Dissent - even when that dissent strays from logic or humanity - is our life’s blood. But if you have one of those opinions, and you express it in public, honesty and self-respect require you to own up to it.


Unless you’re Rush Limbaugh.


On his daily radio soap opera, on August 15, Limbaugh said “Cindy Sheehan is just Bill Burkett. Her story is nothing more than forged documents, there's nothing about it that's real…” The complete transcript of the 860 words that surround those quotes can be found at the bottom of this entry.


Yet, apparently there was something so unpopular, so subversive, and so crazy about those remarks that he has found it necessary to deny he said them - even when there are recordings and transcripts of them - and to brand those who’ve claimed he said them as crackpots and distorters. More over, that amazing temple to himself, his website, has been scrubbed clean of all evidence of these particular remarks, and to ‘prove’ his claim that he never made the remarks in question on August 15, he has misdirected visitors to that site to transcripts and recordings of remarks he made on August 12.


Limbaugh is terrified. And he has reason to be.


Understand this about Limbaugh. He doesn’t believe half the junk he spouts. I’ve met him, and had pleasant enough conversations with him, twice - at the 1980 World Series when he was still a mid-level baseball flunky with a funny name, and once in the mid ‘90s at ESPN when he was just beginning his campaign to get a toehold there. He is a quiet, almost colorless man who, if he could be guaranteed similar success in sportscasting, would sell out the sheep who follow his every word - and would do it before close of business today.


But with that ESPN bid having gone up in flames just under two years ago, and sports forever closed off to him, he’s gotten into what the novelist Robert Graves called a “Golden Predicament” - overwhelming success in a field he really had no intention of pursuing - and he has to keep churning this stuff out every day. And when you’re just free associating to kill time and keep the ditto-heads happy, you sometimes drive right off the end of the pier.


Like on August 15th.


Since we declared Limbaugh “The Worst Person In The World” two nights later for the remarks about Sheehan, he has had the transcript of his pier-drive expunged (even though he initially thought so much of it, that it was posted as a “featured quote” for paying subscribers to his website). Simultaneously, the hapless Brent Bozell, who runs that scam called The Media Research Center, declared that I was guilty of “distortion” in quoting the Sheehan remarks.


Well, as you’ll see below, the only distortion here, is that which lingers in Limbaugh’s ears. His remarks about Sheehan were so embraced by at least one of his fans that they were preserved on another website, and we can present them in full here. You will notice that nothing has been taken out of context, nothing in the minutes before nor the minutes afterwards mitigates against the utter callousness and infamy of his comments about Sheehan.


A reminder that that’s Cindy Sheehan, Gold Star Mother, who when I asked her bluntly if President Bush wasn’t serving her purposes more by not seeing her, was honest enough to answer “yes” without hesitation. And it’s Rush Limbaugh, who so believes in his case against her that he’s too afraid to admit he said this (and who, by the way, has since said of her that, "I'm weary of even having to express sympathy... we all lose things” - as if her son had been a misplaced, er, prescription).


The long preface concluded, here is what Rush Limbaugh said, crazily weaving in and out of the topic of Cindy Sheehan, in his broadcast of August 15. He even wanders back into football, and the very topic that proved his end at ESPN, Donovan McNabb of the Philadelphia Eagles (honestly, if he ever wanted to be analyzed, he would be such a juicy case that psychiatrists would bid for Limbaugh’s rights). So, as you get deeper into the thicket, you can find the relevant portions about Sheehan, I’ve italicized them. Limbaugh had wandered into this via the news of the withdrawal of the anti-John Roberts advertisement from NARAL:


“They pulled this ad because it wasn't working. They didn't pull this ad because of a bite of conscience or, ooh, this is wrong. And their mistake was they're telling themselves they came out of the barn too soon with it. If they'd have come out of this say a week before September 6th. Well, stop and think about it. If they would have run this ad, if this would have started a week before September 6th, CNN carrying it, and none of the Democrats denouncing it, and without a whole lot of time to gin up, it would have probably had more effect. So I think they're going to learn from this that they didn't keep their powder dry, they just were too eager.


“But the fact that they are too eager -- I mean, Cindy Sheehan is just Bill Burkett. Her story is nothing more than forged documents, there's nothing about it that's real, including the mainstream media's glomming onto it, it's not real. It's nothing more than an attempt, it's the latest effort made by the coordinated left. And all of these efforts are bombing; they're all failing miserably, in and of themselves.


“Now, this is not to say that all is rosy. I don't want you to misunderstand. But I don't get that worked up about it. I have an attitude about it. I've been sharing this with you for the longest time. So I think we're in a new era. The left doesn't get away with this stuff anymore. They're not getting away with it now. I know it's irritating, I know it's frustrating, I know it makes you mad, does me, too, but it's not helpful to the people who are doing this, it is not assisting them.


“They are going to try to claim that Cindy Sheehan is responsible for the Bush poll numbers on Iraq being down, but those numbers were falling before Cindy Sheehan did this. I'm not saying the mainstream press isn't effective in certain areas anymore, I'm not saying the mainstream press doesn't have the ability to shape opinion. Just saying on this, this is not the thing everybody should be worried about. I don't have one in my mind that is, something everybody ought to be worried about, but if you're going to be angry at this, and I understand the anger, and I share some of it, too, the anger here, to me, is how the left and the media are trying to make this bigger than it is.


“But that still takes me back to the fact that they know they're losing, they know they're losing big time. These people are throwing it up against the wall. It's the fourth quarter and all they're doing is throwing long bombs and their quarterback's gotten too tired to finish the game and their wide receiver is out there making all kinds of disparaging comments about the quarterback and getting kicked out of camp.


“The situation with the Philadelphia Eagles pretty much dovetails what's going on with the Democratic Party right now if you ask me. It does. I don't think that we're looking at people who have a posture of confidence. This is not the kind of thing that winners do. It's all done in total desperation, as is the mainstream press's ability to prop it up.


“What's she got? A hundred stragglers have showed up down there, a hundred peaceniks, a hundred long-haired, maggot-infested, dope-smoking FM types, essentially, are down there joining her. And if this were genuine, if this were like it was back in Vietnam -- remember, that's what they're trying to turn this into. They're just reliving the old halcyon days of the anti-war movement in the sixties. They would have had hundreds of thousands of people down there. They would have had mass marches. There would have been the need for riot cops outside Bush's ranch down there. This is so obviously a desperation move.


“Now, I don't have a whole lot of sympathy for the woman. I think she's taken the grieving process here to lengths that most people don't, and she's being fueled by all of this attention. But this is just a long way of saying I'm not -- you can call about it and you can talk about it but I just am not that worked up about it because, to me, it's sort of like -- I got an e-mail today from a guy said, "Rush, why aren't you talking about that radio scandal going on?" Why should I talk about it? Why should I talk about that, folks? There's a cardinal rule, when your enemy is destroying themselves, you shut up and you get out of the way and let them do it. And it's happening in countless areas and times on the left. Certain things you do need to give a little nudge, other things you just get out of the way.


“But the longer the Sheehan thing goes on and the longer she's treated as some sort of super-celebrity by the press and the more outrageous things she says, trust me on this, the more people are going to get fed up with it. She's going to become the next Natalee Holloway before it's all said and done.”

Limbaugh quoting Moran
You post Molly Ivins...so what's your point?  The post is kinda allegorical to what you are posting tonight.  You're having party while people are dead and dying.  
Olbermann, Maddow, and Limbaugh
Can't stand any of them. Two are on the left, one on the right, and they are all cut out of the same cloth, in my opinion. Blustering, self-righteous, and intolerant. Maddow is a little more subtle, but very full of herself and her narrow opinions. I agree more with what Rush says, but can't stand to look at him or listen to him. What a big, self-important windbag.

Carville vs. Limbaugh..more double standards
Flashback: Carville Wanted Bush to Fail

The press never reported that Democratic strategist James Carville said he wanted President Bush to fail before the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. But a feeding frenzy ensued when radio host Rush Limbaugh recently said he wanted President Obama to fail.

By Bill Sammon

Wednesday, March 11, 2009

On the morning of Sept. 11, 2001, just minutes before learning of the terrorist attacks on America, Democratic strategist James Carville was hoping for President Bush to fail, telling a group of Washington reporters: "I certainly hope he doesn’t succeed."

Carville was joined by Democratic pollster Stanley Greenberg, who seemed encouraged by a survey he had just completed that revealed public misgivings about the newly minted president.

"We rush into these focus groups with these doubts that people have about him, and I’m wanting them to turn against him," Greenberg admitted.

The pollster added with a chuckle of disbelief: "They don’t want him to fail. I mean, they think it matters if the president of the United States fails."

Minutes later, as news of the terrorist attacks reached the hotel conference room where the Democrats were having breakfast with the reporters, Carville announced: "Disregard everything we just said! This changes everything!"

The press followed Carville’s orders, never reporting his or Greenberg’s desire for Bush to fail. The omission was understandable at first, as reporters were consumed with chronicling the new war on terror. But months and even years later, the mainstream media chose to never resurrect those controversial sentiments, voiced by the Democratic Party’s top strategists, that Bush should fail.

That omission stands in stark contrast to the feeding frenzy that ensued when radio host Rush Limbaugh recently said he wanted President Obama to fail. The press devoted wall-to-wall coverage to the remark, suggesting that Limbaugh and, by extension, conservative Republicans, were unpatriotic.

Limbaugh stated today he was asked to do an op-ed for the whole situation. nm

O asked people not to listen to Limbaugh's venom...
A law? You make me laugh. Limbaugh is just an overrated old drug addict windbag who is a hatemongerer. I hope he blows a gasket while on the air, NOW THAT would be entertaining.
Racists and bigots like, lets see, McCain and Palin, Limbaugh, O'Reilly, Coulter and Hannity?
Give me a break....
HOW RUDE! SM
You people have no right to talk about anyone else being rude!  You have a corner on the market.
Know what is rude
Rude is sending our brave military into harms way for nothing, rude is lying to the American people about the reasons, rude is causing the biggest deficit our country has ever seen and spending away our surplus that President Clinton gave us, rude is dividing this country when he claimed he was a uniter not a divider. 
Rude

They come over here and pretend to be holier than thou and then run back to the Conservative board and trash us.  Go read it.  It's quite amusing.  While you're at it, why not read the entire board and count the number of civil posts that seem to be written by someone over the age of 5.  You don't have to hurry, though, because all their juvenile hateful tirades will be there forever and will never be deleted.


You should probably read the posts on this board first, because as we've all seen during this week, they stand a good chance of being deleted.  As has been demonstrated on the Liberal board, you're permitted to have your freedom of opinion and expression......as long as it's the "right" one.


You are very rude. sm
I was not agreeing or disagreeing with anyone, but trying to have a conversation.  I was respectful at all times.  It explains why there are only a few posters here. Good day!
AG has been very rude lately... :( nm

That was rude
I was simply saying I didn't know what you were talking about. Care to explain instead of being insulting?
How rude you are. nm
,
WOW that was rude!!!

I guess the radical dems on this board (not the regular, respectful, nonbashing dems) will never listen to reason or a participate in a good debate because they know they are right always and forever, no matter what the subject.....what kind of democracy is that?  NOT.


 


okay, I am rude, but
You don't get a vote. It is an American election. And even though I am so liberal you all would puke, I am tired of our American arms stretched so far over the world that we don't take care of our own anymore.
Now that's just rude!
Just because someone doesn't believe the way you do doesn't give you the right to be so mean! Get a grip on yourself!
I'm sorry if I came across as rude. Outraged is more like it.

Outraged that a handful of Republican politicians would sell out American troops to a bunch of terrorists, even in a symbolic gesture.  Outraged that their lives should be used in a political stunt.  This is very frustrating for me.  I think our lawmakers should support our troops in every way possible, and I believe it's unacceptable to agree to amnesty for anyone who kills our troops. 


We have already far exceeded our budget to the limit because of this needless personal war of George W. Bush.  We provided Iraqis with free medical care.  We will be supplying them with countless more money for decades to come.  Our troops continue to be killed and wounded.  I don't care what the political stakes are.  Under NO CIRCUMSTANCE should their lives be used as pawns any more than they already have been.  For God's sake, don't they deserve the support (regardless of how symbolic it is) from ALL members of the party that sent them there?


I posted comments by two lawmakers regarding this, but you didn't choose to address the content of what I posted.  I've noticed that happens a lot on these boards.  When someone posts anything questioning another's viewpoint, particularly if they corroborate their views, instead of debating the issue, all they do is become indignant, call names and then pretend to leave.  If that's your communication style preference, you'd feel right at home on the Conservative Board. 


I asked you to enlighten me.  Instead of doing so, you became angry, called me rude, picked up your toys and left the playground.


I'm asking you again to enlighten me because nowhere did I see it written that this is to take effect once we leave.  Please provide a link to that effect.  If you'd like to debate the issue, please do so.  I agree with Harold Ford that this was nothing more than a stunt.  Do you think this will boost the morale of our soldiers?  What are your views?  Please share them.  Or not.


Your choice.


Wow - you sure are rude - see message
1. How did I become an MT? Two years of schooling and 10 years of experience honey.

2. This is not a medical report I'm typing. Makes me wonder how you became an MT if you don't even know the difference between a medical report and this website where we can give our opinions and ask questions without the worry of being persecuted.

3. I read many websites and I don't always see the "respective parties" capitalized.

4. Leave your QA'ing at the door or else don't come here at all.

5. You must be one uptight (r)epublican because the (d)emocrats chose an excellent candidate and it's just too bad that the (r)epublicans will be losing this fall. Oh wait, I just read your post again. You are a (r)epublican and your true colors came out.

6. As the poster below (who did her research) stated, Hawaii is one of the United States which makes him a natural born citizen. If you didn't know that Hawaii was a state then how did you even graduate from high school and if you didn't graduate high school how did you even become an MT.
That is rather rude and inappropriate.

You don't touch strangers like that and you don't make comments about their muscles or lack thereof.  He should know better. 


Let us hope that when Obama and Biden sit down to talk to terrorists that Biden doesn't reach over and tug on Obama's beard and tell him he needs a trim or shave.  LOL!


No, it was RUDE and inappropriate.
If you can't see that, then your thinking and reasoning must be warped.
And it is not RUDE and inappropriate to
say my thinking and reasoning are warped because it is different than yours?
Wow you are so horribly rude
and really immature for an ADULT.

Have you ever read the Bible or attended a service or sat down and talked with a pastor with an open mind? No, I doubt it.

I think you are brainwashed by the jaded people of this world.

Just keep on down the broad path...I promise it'll start to get real hot soon!
we have now gone way past rude..
to downright disgusting. It probably also take a MENSA brain to call someone else pathetic, little, loser because they don't think the same as you. Give it a rest already people.
rude you are. Calling
someone an 'old man' is showing a complete lack of respect.
I'm sorry but the way you worded it was rude. nm

Rude and uncalled for.
Everyone has a right to their own thoughts.  If you cannot reply with a constructive opposing view point, why bother replying?
You're being rude and obnoxious and I prefer to not

who simply doesn't "get it."


If you feel that invading Iraq is protecting our borders with Mexico, then you are direly in need of a geography course.


Buh-bye.


I found it rude and disrespectful. sm
But that's a liberal for ya!
Speaking of rude and disrespectful...
I wonder if you felt the same way about Don Imus when he roasted Bill and Hillary Clinton when he was in Colbert's place back a few years ago?

Oh, I bet it's only rude and disrepectful when it is directed towards a Republican, right?
newish to this board, why do you have to be rude?

did you receive coal from Papa Noel this Christmas?  Hope not -


And you're just plain rude to her again and again...sm
Didn't the moderator tell you guys to stop it, for like, the umpteenth time this past week?

Leave sam alone, geez.
That was kind of rude, oldtimer. nm
nm
So that gives you an excuse to be rude - see message
to anyone and everyone who disagrees with you. You know who gives a hairy who-know about what was said at rallies. It goes both ways. There is nastiness on both sides and your comments only go to prove it. We all are passionate about the candidate we want. Whether your are republican or democrat you are entitled to your opinions, but the original posters comment was so disgusting beyond words. You want to talk about the worst kind of hate!!!!!

This board is suppose to be where we can show support and share ideas and viewpoints about the person we want to be elected. But to come out and say one side should be rounded up and shipped off somewhere?????

The democrats who vote on issues have done enough damage to our economy and its going to take a long time to repair the damage. Not only have they almost destroyed our economy they have created such mistrust in politicians. These were not republicans - these were democrats who were benefitting from screwing the american people and they didn't care. They didn't care one iota about people like me and my family and friends. Their names are Franks, Dodd, Cox, Obama, Kerry. Those are the tops ones and they are democrats! Sure there were some republicans who benefitted. Can't lie about that but the majority of the big benefitters were democrats! And you sure don't see any of them giving back the money.

I am so disgusted by the original posters message and by your message it's beyond words. This is the same way I felt when some poster was trying to compare Obama/Biden to Osama Bin Laden. It's all disgusting on both sides that its just beyond words.
my apologies to you - I probably did sound rude - nm
