Holy shiat. That guy has gone totally insane. Not a very far trip, but he made it.

the Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies

A lot of deep thinking goes on there.

I'm pretty sure that as governor of Texas, GWB offed quite a few more than that. And he had to sign for each one.

/some of 'em had even gone full retard, i hear

He... just... farking wow.

He is off his effing nut. Seriously, what the fark is going on here?

Boehner and Dick Armey are lead figures in teabagging.

Bernard Goldberg and Bill O'Reilly are defending Obama.

And I am more hawkish than Rush Limbaugh, who is defending Muslim pirates.

At this point, I feel like the founding fathers are going to jump out of the ground and say, "The Aristocrats!"

Rush was saying that Obama is so lacking in humanity that he kills his own kind.

Bloody William: Bernard Goldberg and Bill O'Reilly are defending Obama.

wut?

The reason you all have a hard time with this is you apparently still take Rush Limbaugh seriously to some degree.

The man says/does what he expects his listeners will fanatically react to. He craves attention. He wants free publicity however he can get it.

The man is irrelevant, and desperately tries to find ways to keep his job.

Everyone understand now?

If anyone who still listens to his show has any shred of sense left in them, they should tune out now. We're three months in, and it's only going to get worse. If you can commit to taking this as the truth, there is no help and you might as well have been at Jonestown, because you can be talked into anything.

The simple fact of the matter is the same as it was two days ago: He authorized the military to do its job. And I don't care what the hell age or race or religion the pirates were, they were armed and endangering an innocent victim in an attempt to extort money. You know, BAD GUYS.

Atillathepun: Bloody William: Bernard Goldberg and Bill O'Reilly are defending Obama.

wut?

here and here.

Because if Rush is known to jump to the defense of someone, it's going to be a black muslim.

Sorry buddy, but you can't spend the election throwing gas on the racist fire and condemning Muslims (and Obama for being one) and then pull this.

Bloody William: Bernard Goldberg and Bill O'Reilly are defending Obama.

Stop the world. I want to get off.

wow, the absolutely retarded doublespeak wharrgggrbl from republican talking heads lately makes me feel like i've gone schizo.

"Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Republican Studies"

LIARS?

these young kids, black Muslim kids, three of which were ordered shot by President Obama on Sunday

This statement is so deleteriously stupid on so many levels, it makes my brain hurt. Which, as a normal, thinking person, I guess is Rush's aim, so I think I'll stop even bothering to read this and move on.

I've tried writing four responses to this and I've given up due to the mental anguish required to simply process such idiocy.

Wow... just, wow...

Who gives a sh*t what he said. Who the f*ck is he?

In before the guys who start saying Rush is right!

Well, technically Obama did.

Sgygus: Rush was saying that Obama is so lacking in humanity that he kills his own kind.

Obama's not a pirate, he's a ninja.

MorningBreath: Well, technically Obama did.

0/10

You can't follow up a 6000 word Limbaugh troll like this with one sentence and expect to be taken seriously.

SilentStrider: Stop the world. I want to get off.

Extreme isn't it?

If they were muslims, the fact that they were also kids makes no difference at all. Don't even get me started on this pirate business. I'll bet they didn't have wooden legs or even an eyepatch.

Damn, Limbaugh really will oppose Obama just for the sake of opposing him. You can't even pretend that he isn't, but I'm sure some of the always capable Fark Independents will come in here to defend Limbaugh as taking a decisive stance and throw around a couple of comments calling all the Obama supporters sheep while copy and pasting the Limbaugh party line.

There's just no pleasing some people.

The drugs... they will do that.....

Wow, some people will say anything to get in the news. He's an ultra attention whore!


IMO the pirates should be given one week to release all hostages and ships, pack up their shiat, and go home. Then retaliation attacks begin against any who try to hijack ships. Brutal? Yes, but this nonsense would end quickly once they know the free money is gone and someone's serious about killing pirates. I don't care how old they are.... if they can deliberately shoot a weapon at someone for just money, they can be shot back at.... It's ridiculous that any countries would even pay ransom to begin with....

Don't negotiate with terrorists.

Wait... why does anyone care what that fat head says? It's not like he's done anything to increase our paychecks.

Good start?

There are lots of soldiers in Somalia of that age. Just because they're teenagers, that doesn't preclude them from being soliders.

So, if we're fighting in a war, should we stop and card the enemy soldiers to make sure they are all aged 20 and over? Last I checked we took teenagers in the US military.

I mean, I know he just makes up outrage to make money regardless of what damage he might do to his country, but this is really stretching the bounds of making shiat up.

Read a little further into his diatribe. He's saying that if this had been done under a Republican Presidency, there would have been a hue and cry of racism and imperialism. If you're going to call him out as the piece of shiat he is, be sure to nail him for the right reasons.

Pirates are enemies of humanity. Anyone can shoot them on sight.

UNC_Samurai

You are right, I didn't get that far, and I commend you for your patience in making it further than I did.

What a waste, all this pomp and circumstance for a stupid, tired, unoriginal straw man.

thats one way of putting it, yes.

You and everyone else on the Republican (read: anti-Democrat) side know damn well no one on the left would condemn the action taken, regardless of affiliation, unless they were one of those people against all killing. It's not a political thing, and unless you're monumentally stupid, you know this - it's a practical thing.

WOOHOO! :)

NOW is the time for all left-wing, Obama supporters to do a fake switch into rabid Limbaugh "supporters"!

Just think... if your opposition really insists on his god-given right to hang himself in public and the people who support him along for the ride...

...by god, it's time to go there, stand beside him and feed him as much rope as he wants! :)

GO RUSH! GO RUSH!!

Man... I hope he NEVER loses his power to make right-wingers look THAT stupid. This is AWESOME.

KEEP YAPPING, DON'T STOP WHAT YOU ARE DOING, Mr. Limbaugh! WE LOVE YA!! :)

MorningBreath: Well, technically Obama did.

Technically he ordered four killings but only three were necessary. Or as Milton Berle might say, he only pulled out enough to win.

FTFA: Rush: You know what we have learned about the Somali pirates, the merchant marine organizers that were wiped out at the order of Barack Obama, you know what we learned about them?

Also, is Rush really using some super PC term to describe pirates? WTF is wrong with this man?

Professional troll is professional.

flavor of the month: MorningBreath: Well, technically Obama did.

Technically he ordered four killings but only three were necessary.

Maybe he'll court-martial the Bainbridge's captain for disobeying orders.

/Rush really needs to get back on the hydrocodone

Ah, imagine this. A celebrity garnering a ton of responses in what should be a political thread. muck4doo hits it right on the head:

muck4doo: Professional troll is professional.

Ignore it, and it goes away. No normal people care about Limbaugh anyways, not any more than normal people care about some other cult leader like Billy Graham. Treating him with this kind of attention is pathetic.

Oy vey.

*takes 2 Tylenol*

I like the fact that in this ever changing world Rush never changes. Always full retard and always full of manure.

I...I...I have no words for this. He's actually defending the pirates? I mean, I have sympathy for the Somalians who have people dumping trash and waste in their waters and fishing their waters and depleting their food supply, but it doesn't excuse taking ships captive and demanding ransom.

FTA: "Well, we have enemies, but we have enemies because of us."

You know, every time I've heard someone on the left say that they get screamed out of the conversation by people like Rush and O'Reilly.

This is bizzaro-world.

But Rush was perfectly happy to let this black Muslim kid get killed by George Bush.

UNC_Samurai: He's saying that if this had been done under a Republican Presidency, there would have been a hue and cry of racism and imperialism.

No. No there wouldn't have been. No one cares if we off some farking hijackers.

what_now: UNC_Samurai: He's saying that if this had been done under a Republican Presidency, there would have been a hue and cry of racism and imperialism.

No. No there wouldn't have been. No one cares if we off some farking hijackers.

I do. I would have preferred that it ended without bloodshed, but I trust the judgment of the commander of the Bainbridge that Phillips' life was in danger so I accept it as necessary.

Y'know, as of this moment, I'm f*cking sick as hell at the Right for dissing Obama. Up until now, it was amusing because they were grasping at straws. No more. Now Rush is trying to drum up sympathy for someone training an AK47 at an American's head?? F*ck him. I know he has an agenda to prove any Democratic President wrong on all fronts, but this is crossing the f*cking line.

I'm tired of playing the goody-good mediator. I strive to see both sides of the argument. But when you f*cking REACH for a way to show your opponent in a bad light, you lose all credibility. I'm aghast at the moment. It's really difficult for me as an average American to imagine the contortions it would take for ANY OTHER American to view Phillips' rescue as a failure.

F*ck you, Rush, and f*ck all your listeners. You just proved yourself, without a shadow of a doubt, to be nothing more than a bottom-feeder.

Sadly, Limbaugh is typical of the right-wing. They aren't interested in their own principles, all they care about is tearing down the other guy by any means possible.

They are truly a detriment to a decent, functioning, intelligent democracy.

I consider Limbaugh fans to be enemies of all thinking and decent Americans (and human beings) everywhere.
