vernonFL: Obama has been President for 6 months.

Before he became President, conservatives mocked him as having no experience.

After all, he was just a community organizer. Thats not a real job!

Now, of course, he is responsible (along with Nancy Pelosi and Barney Frank) for making America a Muslim socialist country, inviting terrorism, and killing Michael Jackson.


He is an over achiever after all...

Most people got it. You were just really farking annoying. Nothing to be proud of.

Rush loves to talk tough, but it's about as deep as PETA...


By jove, I think you've got it. Rush is PETA for the Neo-Con set. Someone should make a banner or a motivational poster with this.

chestermania: Subby is Al Franken? Should have listened to the quote. Coup was not encouraged, just wished by many. Subby gets his own FAIL tag.

Ah, semantics and weasle wording, the last bastion of the right.

Some people say you suck donkey balls, chestermania...

It would be a shame if the whackadoodles tried something as stupid as a coup or revolution. I would have to shoot a lot of otherwise nice people that live around me. Eventually you have the cull the stupid out of society.

just a few weeks ago he was all about how the stimulus spending was not going to start until right before the midterm elections, you know so the Dems could buy their way into office. Now he is all about how the stimulus isn't working. before that he was saying how the illegals should vote for conservatives because "George Bush and John Mccain practically wrote the defeated immigration bill last year", except when the bill came up to vote he said it was hand written by Pelosi and Kennedy.

 
RemyDuron 2009-07-02 09:01:45 PM  
You know what? I don't care. Really. I don't care what Limbaugh, Hannity, O'Reilly, or Coulter have to say. No one who believes them is going to be convinced they are wrong by rational argument and facts, and no one rational believes them.

So let him yell and scream and rant, and people will listen to him, and that's too bad, but publicizing it in this manner is not going to do anything to make people stop believing him.

Sure, if someone is spreading deliberate misinformation in what appear to be trustworthy news sources, report on that and correct it, but no one needs to be informed everytime Rush says something retarded or offensive. MediaMatters and Crooks and Liars occasionally play an important role, but with articles like this all they are doing is feeding liberals' egos and conservatives' persecution complex.

No one tunes into Rush Limbaugh expecting anything else but the most right wing slant on everything. Either they believe that and you aren't going to convince them its wrong with facts on a web page, or they know it's slanted and don't need to be told.

nekom: If a recent Vanity Fair article is to be believed, the average age of Limbaugh's audience is 67. I don't think you have anything to worry about there.

I used to be with it, but then they changed what "it" was. Now, what I'm with isn't it, and what's "it" seems weird and scary to me.

I'm convinced that Ann Coulter is an act. She is Andy Kauffman in drag.

Rush believes maybe half of what he says, he's a polemicist and makes a fortune at it.

Hannity, I think he really believes it.

Hannity is no Andy Kauffman, he's too stupid. He isn't joking.

 
davynelson 2009-07-02 09:05:54 PM  
One of the problems with trying to track the flood of wingnuttery emitted daily by Rush Limbaugh is that there's so much of it, and it's so ceaseless, that one becomes overwhelmed trying to keep up with it.


SO STOP KEEPING TRACK OF IT
STOP REPORTING IT
STOP TALKING ABOUT IT

I think this guy is applying too much coherence to Limbaugh. The guy just looks for any chance and takes a shot.



This

Liberals just don't like his opinions so they nitpick lines and hope they can get some justification for censorship.

Standard leftist hyperbole...

An a.m. radio talk show host disagrees with the politics of our beloved president and legislative branch! He must be stopped! Any counter opinion to the desires of the politicians in power is hate speech and dangerous! His listeners are dangerous to the common good as well! We should find some way to identify them! Make them wear some kind of mark or patch so we can know who these enemies of the state are! Take there means so it can't be used against us! Sieg Heil!

Limbaugh: So we've got hell breaking loose in Honduras. You know what we learned about Honduras? We learned the Obama administration tried to stop the coup. Now what was -- the coup was what many of you wish would happen here, without the military.

The next day, describing Obama talking to troops about the withdrawal from Iraq, he described the president thus:

"This is a guy who sought their defeat."

And then yesterday, he expanded on these thoughts even further:

This is Barack Obama, who led from the United States Senate his party into doing everything he could to ensure the defeat of the U.S. military. ... This party was doing everything it could to impugn and dishonor the military.


All true...what's the problem? Is Limbaugh supposed to say Obama was a big supporter of the troops while he was in the Senate? He'd be lying if he did that. Are we supposed to pretend that Obama is no longer a traitor because he's POTUS now, even though everything he has done as POTUS is designed to destroy the United States?

In the entire history of the world the stupid have never been singled out for persecution, it is simply not necessary for any government to do anything special to control you.
You just need a pat on the head and a straw man to play with.

I think you're right about Limbaugh, but I think Coulter is in the same boat. The is probably actually super-conservative, bust most of her crazy statements are just her controversy-whoring. Hannity though. . . I think he both believes it and sees it as a path to career advancement. He's a career suckup who will believe whatever his superiors want him to believe.

Glenn Beck is the best bet for a Kaufmann, IMO. He's either completely insane or completely brilliant. Kaufmann didn't seem like he was faking Tony Clifton either, in fact there is some belief that he actually was kind of crazy (Tony loved oral sex, Andy did not, and it's hard to fake sexual arousal or fake not being aroused). The fact that Beck is the most outrageous and the most seemingly genuine makes him the most likely to be a faker. Although odds are he's just milking it like the rest.

Yeah, back then he told the military not to salute the president. And some of them were stupid enough not to salute. I hope they enjoyed being the black hole of Leavenworth.

Hell yes, he's a traitor. We elected him under the assumption he'd have dissolved the United States by now. I want to see you suffer, you worm. I don't care if it destroys the nation, I want Obama to take away guns and then free prisoners. I want a socialized economy, no matter how it hurts my profits. I want to see Christianity outlawed.

He hasn't done any of that yet. I want more action. I want banned private insurance, I want cars that get fewer than 35 mpg to be illegal, I want a gun ban on any caliber larger than 22. I want rivers of blood. I want abortion and gay marriage to be legal in all 50 states. Obama hasn't delivered on any of that stuff so far.

I want you and your ilk to suffer through the agonizing death of your country, knowing there's nothing you can do to stop it, and I'll be laughing the whole time, because I like Europe better anyways. I want all TV to be run by the government so that they can show the footage of Israel being wiped off the map by Islamic nuclear weapons 24/7. I want Rush Limbaugh, Ann Coulter, Sean Hannity and Bill O'Reilly to be publicly executed for speaking against the President.

I want apocalypse and this prez of ours isn't delivering yet. I just hope he can pull it off before 2010. Election season is such a bore.

Oh, I'm sorry. That's not hyperbole. That actually happened, unlike anything you actually said, you disingenuous shiatbag.

Limbaugh can biatch about supporting the troops when he's actually done something for 'em. Since Rush cares only for Rush, that's not likely to happen.

There's a very easy way to stop Limbaugh from encouraging a military coup... Just enact a draft for it.

Limbaugh wouldn't be able to get to the front of the line for the 4-F handouts soon enough with his anal pimples on display for all to see.

Speaking of which, it's a weird circle of life for Limbaugh... going from displaying his anal pimples to old doctors in the 1960's to showing them off to young DR's 40 years later...
