Fark takes notice of the media taking notice of how much the media is taking notice of Rush Limbaugh. It's not news.

Now all we need is for Rush Limbaugh to take notice of Fark taking notice of how much the media is taking notice of how much the media is taking notice of Rush Limbaugh.

I just wanted to put ya'll on notice that I noticed.

I noticed what you did there.

Neal Boortz or however you spell his name, actually mentions Fark from time to time on his show.

Really? I didn't notice.

/which is more difficult for Rush, since he's a fat, cigar chomping pill head. So he just makes outlandish statements to get noticed

Leader of conservatives? What happened to P.J. O'Rourke?

Wherever there's injustice, oppression, and suffering, America will show up six months late and bomb the country next to where it's happening.

Who the heck cares about a radio blow hard who cares more about his ratings and personal income than the country in which he lives.

/If you find this insulting you are simply taking it out of context.(the talking heads defense for every racist and anti-American remark)

/He's big in Japan...

And the GOP is cowed in to admitting they're so powerless that a drug addled AM radio celebrity who has never held office runs their party without ever showing up to a meeting.

I do think this was a mistake on Obama's part. By mentioning Rush by name, he has brought him into the argument. Now Rush is getting to pitch his "bi-partisan" plan on TV to people who otherwise would never ever hear him.

Plus he has 3 hours a day to sermonize.

Obama gave strength to a political opponent who should be extremely weak in this current environment, and the "O SNAP!" media have piled right on.

The GOP is being painted into a corner. They're in a position where they have to:

a) Disavow that Limbaugh leads the party (thereby alienating their base, which is loyally devoted to him), or

b) Admit that Limbaugh leads the party (thereby alienating 80% of the public from their party).

Either way, they're farked. Good riddance.

Oh, and fark you and your tax cut. Bad economy, tax cut, need a war, tax cut, too much debt, tax cut. Old and busted policy. New, hot policy, pay our farkin' bills.

Maybe you could use some Hydroxy-Cut...fatass.

Listen, how will he ever go away if you people don't start ignoring him?

/Life needs an ignore list.

This.

Rush doesn't have a huge devoted following, his people are the 26% that still like bush. I'm glad Obama mentioned him, and I hope this doesn't go away soon.

I'm pretty sure Boehner is in the 26%, and I hope he loses big next time around. I'm going to vote against him even if Blago runs for his seat.

He only exists to gather large audiences and raise more advertising revenue and he does it terrifically

Duh. The left can't seem to understand that he's the radio equivalent of a click whore; same concept as Daily Kos and Huffington Post. The more people shriek at him the more he gets paid.

Yeah, but he's also pretty entertaining. I listen to him regularly, and while it occasionally becomes too painful, most of the time there's something to laugh at. His callers are hilarious.

What sort of animal will he liken Obama's daughters to? He pretty much got a pass when he "joked" that Chelsea was the "Whitehouse dog".

jcooli09...

Yea. I used to listen to him occasionally when Clinton was in office. No end of material, and he did a great impression of Clinton's voice. Not as good when Bush was in office though, since his best tool is satire. Maybe he'll find his game again with Obama.

randomjsa: Neal Boortz or however you spell his name, actually mentions Fark from time to time on his show.

Boortz is an atlanta turd who's spouting the party line. he was paid for a long time ago.

Comedian Rush Loudmouth was also bought with a 400 million, 8 year contract.

Rush says whatever his check signers want him to say.

The talk-radio titan said, days before Obama was sworn in, that he hoped Obama failed because he didn't believe in the incoming president's policies.

What, I thought he wanted Obama to fail so that America fails. Remember citizen any descent against the majority party and dear leader is against bipartisanship and treasonous.

Satire? I don't see that, it's more like caricature. You can tell it isn't satire by the fact that he claims it is.

Anyway, he spent about half of the time bush was in office talking about the Clintons, and the rest talking about how he's always right.

He hasn't found his stride yet with Obama. He never recovered completely from saying that McCain had it tied up a week before the election. He's floundering a bit now.

Yeah, because the Republicans are so for legalized drugs, prostitution, pro choice advocacity, evolution as settled science, and gay marriage. Oh and they really work for ideas that include real reform of government. Boortz is a Libertarian that happens to think the War in Iraq is justified. His point is that it allows us to engage the enemy on their soil, and that Saddam had plenty of opportunities to comply with the things HE AGREED TOO. He leaves room for disagreement, but he is consistant.

The McCain Campaign ended when he voted for the Bailout Bill.

A lot of the Conservative base liked Palin. He was in the game till he "suspended his campaign". Fark doesn't accurately depict the real world. Palin could come back in 2012. I doubt it, considering I would say Bobby Jindal will be the man in 2012, although Huck stands a chance. If the Dems keep worrying more about what some doucheba says on the Radio instead of what is going on is Washington, the Republicans could win the Libertarian support back. If they do it could be on on 2010. Right now Neither I nor any other Libertarian I know sees any reason to support the Republicans other than they are not Democrats, and most of us do not consider that enough.

McCain killed off any moderate support with picking Palin and then proceeded to kill off conservative votes by cheerleading the bailouts. My lord that man sucked at campaigning.

I don't think Palin had that much support, but what she had was vocal. The best thing the republicans do is stick together. Also, her support dropped off sharply as she became more known.

I like to think that McCain lost when he decided it was OK to lie regularly in his campaign ads, but I doubt it's true.

In any case, the democrats will win if Obama enjoys some success, and lose if he doesn't. Unfortunately, if Obama loses we all lose.

Groover McToober: The McCain Campaign ended when he crashed his third jet.

I think that's where it started.

And that's where it ended. Yep.

A few years ago I was driving somewhere with a car load of children and someone turned the radio dial to Rush's show. I about busted a gut when they all thought he was Porky Pig because of the way he stutters.

Everyone says, "Ignore him. Paying attention to him gives him power."

We ignored him for two decades and he got popular because his brand of hateful jingoism felt like a cool secret club to the buttwipes that actually believe in what he says.

Now a light is being shone on the secret club, and its members are revealed to be just rats, scuttling frantically from the light.

I'm glad that everyone is seeing and hearing now just how effed up that man and the things he says are. I'll defend to the death his right (hee) to spew that bullshiat, but I also have no qualms about the cultural beatdown he needs to get, and is finally getting, for it

DrD'isInfotainment: How much fatter will Limbaugh get before he busts a GASget?

It's just a wafer thin mint...

It is hard to believe the GOP still wants to be taken seriously. The outright failure of conservative politics was built on financing by extreme deficit spending, conservatism is at an end because easy money is drying up. It is not possible or desired to cut away government perfectly capable of doing a good job when staffed by competent people.

Every six months or so, theres alot of hype that Rush Limbaugh has lost his influence, then a few months later there's hype about how he's calling all the shots.

It can't be both, and it's most likely neither.

Right here.

McCain was going to get the freakout conservative vote regardless of what he did. They would biatch and whine that they weren't being pandered to, but there was no way they would vote for Obama. The Southern Strategy (or rather, the Rural Strategy) only works when they're a tiebreaker, and this time the tiebreaking went to both minority voters and moderates sick of Bush's destructive policies. Nobody told the Bushiates, so they still went around like they had the world by the balls and ended up taking it up the ass. And they still are because they haven't really gotten the fact that their free ride is over. Or that they just got farked for the last fifty years and now that's over. Obama did change everything: now the tiebreaking votes will be minority ones. The very same minorities that Republicans have spent the last thirty years bashing in code from 'welfare mother' to 'illegal immigrant.' Rallying the retards through demonization has only resulted in giving the demonized power and has farked the Republicans so righteously that it's hard to see how they could come back without shattered altogether. Sarah Palin's attempts to stay relevant are a symptom of this dying status of the Southern Strategy: she could only win if the system that was in place for Bush was still relevant, and even then she would be outshined by someone that could be controlled and wasn't so mindnumbingly stupid. Palin is nothing more than desperate measures by a party without a clue and looking to lose big in 2010 and 2012 and eventually dissolve. Limbaugh knows this and knows that his time in the spotlight is coming to an end because in the power void of the Republican Party, a fat white guy who resembles the clone of L. Ron Hubbard isn't going to make any headway when your party has to suddenly appeal to voters that they've classified as leeches on the Fictional Great White America.

I'm glad Obama's taking it on as well. The Right has had a really tight grip on news coverage and allowed a lot of bullshiat to get out over the course of a few decades. Despite winning an election, I'm glad Obama is taking the battle to them to show just how farked up the Republican train of thought (or lack thereof) is.

and

c) Admitting that they're so fractured after 'six years of rule' that their whole behavior since the 2000 election is being called into question. Instead of assuming that Bush did some good because another plane didn't hit another building, Obama's questioning is allowing us to examine Bush's reign in a very harsh light. Obama is taking on the assumption that Bush had any good points and is starting with the National Security issue first and foremost. Good for him, and I hope he keeps up the cool aggressiveness that he's showing so far. The Republicans used to control the message, but now they're just showing how 'great' they think Limbaugh is and everybody else is realizing how toothless a party is when a talk show host for a AM talk show is. It's automatically dating their relevancy, right down to the second. It's a pretty good maneuver.
