The Rush Limbaugh Thread

[Marx]

Sarah says that it's okay for Rush to use the word ******ed but not Rahm.

I guess it's kinda like it's okay for black people to use the "N" word.

Hypocrisy at its finest.

 

[Kelly]

That's not exactly what she said...but in her explanation, there is still quite a lot of hypocrisy found.

 

[voyzovrezon]

How can anyone not believe, after this, that Rush's main problem is hatred of minorities, and to a lesser extent, the poor.

Here, he says "the rich are gonna stop getting all the good stuff" and says the healthcare bill is about "reparations" and "class envy" and "income redistribution."

Rush Limbaugh is proof that there is no God. Because no benevolent deity would allow someone like THAT to be born into the world

Rush threatens to leave the US if Health Care is passed: http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-503544_162-20000188-503544.html

I guess when a conservative threatens to leave the country because they disagree with the policies of the government they are patriotic, when a liberal does it they are evil Anti Americans.

.......That Walking the line, but I don't know if I'd say that's flat out racist. It's offensive (and purposely so) but not quite racist.

The Dan Rather comment went viral...and seems to be picking up steam. So much so that Rather himself has had to come out and explain the comment.

So long as he stays the hell out of the UK, the thought of him GTFO of the US sounds like joyous news.

And another good reason to hope that health care is passed!t:

It's just an empty threat.

Indeed we can. I dream of a world without Rush Limbaugh and those like him quite often.

I think the technical term for a world like that is "Heaven on earth"t:

He never threatened to leave. I was actually on lunch to listen to this when he said this. A caller called and asked him what he would do for health care and he said he would have to leave the country for his health care. He didn't say move out of the country to live.

CBS News wouldnt make a story out of something they didnt confirm. Right?

I had hoped that people had stopped listening to him by now.

[The Overlord]

Here's a good question is a Rush a psychopath with no empathy, a supreme hypocrite and a liar:

First he is a liar because he lies about his own opinions: http://workbench.cadenhead.org/news/3063/rush-limbaugh-i-feel-liberated this makes nothing more then a con man and snake oil sales man.

Second he is a hypocrite because he applies rules to others that he doesn't apply to himself, like saying drug users should get harsh punishments, but then using his money and power to weasel out of any jail time for himself. This man has no concept of personal responsibility.

Third he is a psychopath because he seems to have no empathy towards other people, like drug users and people who suffer from Parkinson's, why didn't he admit he was wrong about the Parkinson's thing and apologize for it? Instead he just back tracked on the whole thing. He has no shame.

So what exactly are his positive qualities?

 

[Kelly]

Positive qualities? He has the ability to keep people talking about him 24/7 on this board and others...

He has the ability to keep his name on the tip of his enemies tongue at a constant rate...therefore keeping them from speaking of their own desires...

He has the ability to make some people so angry that they speak incoherently and babble about nothing, and therefore never actually get their own ideas out there, only angry rants about him...


That's pretty damn impressive.

 

[Addendum]

So basically he's a glorified attention ****e

 

[Kelly]

Well, yeah....

 

[Marx]

So basically he's a glorified attention ****e

Pretty much.

 

[Paradoxium]

Overweight attention ****e who makes money by getting his enemies to advertise freely for him
