Rush Limbaugh - Ha! What An Ass

[Der Nister]

Rush Limbaugh is many things. Apologetic isn't one of 'em. The controversial conservative caused a stir this week when he engaged in a war of words with RNC chairperson Michael Steele. Later, Mr. Steele apologized to Mr. Limbaugh, and Democrats mocked the flip-flop by launching a website entitled "I'm Sorry Rush." But Limbaugh was just getting started. He went on to challenge President Obama to a debate and made controversial remarks about Senator Ted Kennedy. Blogs across the Buzz weighed in with their thoughts, including the left-leaning Huffington Post

Who does this ass munch think he is? I guess all those years of abusing pain killers has fed his dillusional opinion of himself.

Give it a rest dough boy - you will not be president someday nor do any "free thinking americans" care - what you think you know.

What a douchebag.

[Soulrev]

Why does drug abuse have to be brought into the subject? Not to be a dick dude but that hits me personally and I would like to know what "years of abusing pain killers" has to do with how a person thinks? Aside from being more open-minded to those who have had drug problems?

I used to be seriously addicted to heroin and should be dead. Does that mean I don't qualify to speak my mind on politics or anything?

I'm not a fan of anyone in the political scene these days. I don't think Rush is a stupid man. I don't think he has the answer to everything. I do like *some* of his ideas and views on how the world is today, though.

Edit -

Two words. Michael Moore...

And you thought Rush Limbaugh was fuckin nuts.

[phee]

I agree Rush is bad enought just by speaking.... drugs or not.

Agreed - severely!

Ya know - funny things is - in the many years he's been on air, most of what Rush said wouldn't work hasn't and most of what he said would has... this goes towards BOTH party's. Idiot? Stupid? Honesty.... I'd like to see the many who say this about him debate him on serious issues... really. And as for a debate between Rush and Obama? I'd like to see Obama explain himself out of his policies that I know Rush would attack.... without prepared statements of course.

Again - attacking someone without researching. "Free Thinking people"? ok I'm sure that we got this opinion from the likes of Bill Maher rather the truth.

I also can't seem to over look the amount of people calling others stupid who you can't debate they are actually, obviously very successful.... but I'm sure Rush got to where he is by being extremely stupid... I'm sure that's how it happened.... sure.

I can tell you that attacking the head of the NRP is the very thing that should happen and I'm glad someone has the balls to do it instead of blindly following.... seems I said something about this in another thread somewhere.

And no Phee.... I'm not stalking you I swear! lol

[phee]

And no Phee.... I'm not stalking you I swear! lol

what a shame

[The evil fish]

what a shame

Lol! Well I'm not good at it - just ask Hunhee - not enough foliage around here!

[creatureofthenyte]

Yeah well, ya know what ?

When Rush says something like that, EVERYONE jumps on the Let's bash Rush bandwagon.

I have to ask though, if a Democrat had made that comment, would we have even ever heard about it ???

Seeing as how mainstream media, is and has been for some time, in the tank for the democrats, I highly doubt it.

I wonder if someone like say....Al Franken would have made that comment, what the response would be ?

I agree whole heartedly. Seriously I'm sick of fucking hearing how Rush was addicted to pain killers. Big fucking deal, so have millions of other people. It's time to get over it. And I think a lot of what he says makes sense.

And Soulrev you forgot Keith Olbermann and Chris Matthews.

[Gaf The Horse With Tears]

Yes, lets look at the "evil" Rush and the things he says.

Let me tell you who we conservatives are: We love people. When we look out over the United States of America, when we are anywhere, when we see a group of people, such as this or anywhere, we see Americans. We see human beings. We don't see groups. We don't see victims. We don't see people we want to exploit. What we see -- what we see is potential. We do not look out across the country and see the average American, the person that makes this country work. We do not see that person with contempt. We don't think that person doesn't have what it takes. We believe that person can be the best he or she wants to be if certain things are just removed from their path like onerous taxes, regulations and too much government.

We want every American to be the best he or she chooses to be. We recognize that we are all individuals. We love and revere our founding documents, the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence. We believe that the preamble to the Constitution contains an inarguable truth that we are all endowed by our creator with certain inalienable rights, among them Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness. Those of you watching at home may wonder why this is being applauded. We conservatives think all three are under assault.

We don't want to tell anybody how to live. That's up to you. If you want to make the best of yourself, feel free. If you want to ruin your life, we'll try to stop it, but it's a waste. We look over the country as it is today, we see so much waste, human potential that's been destroyed by 50 years of a welfare state. By a failed war on poverty.

We love the people of this country. And we want this to be the greatest country it can be, but we do understand, as people created and endowed by our creator, we're all individuals. We resist the effort to group us. We resist the effort to make us feel that we're all the same, that we're no different than anybody else. We're all different. There are no two things or people in this world who are created in a way that they end up with equal outcomes. That's up to them. They are created equal, given the chance

[phee]

I don't think Rush is evil.............. I just disagree with him.

[Gaf The Horse With Tears]

So... you don't want everyone to be the best they can be?

You don't believe in Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness?

You think the government should have control of every aspect of our lives?

Thats what your saying? Those are the things Rush beleives in and talks about...

His methods and those whom he decides to attack I disagree with him on.... like most people I disagree with the ends are the same, but the means are different.

[Gaf The Horse With Tears]

So... you disagree with Free Speech (his only method) and attacking those individuals who are trying to take away our Freedoms.

[phee]

So... you disagree with Free Speech (his only method) and attacking those individuals who are trying to take away our Freedoms.

I don't disagree with free speach, but what he suggests as far as methods to fix the country I disagree with.... Those whom he is attacking I think are the wrong people....

I don't think we are talking about the same thing here.... I fully agree with his right to say whatever he pleases, as well as my rights to disagree with what he says.

I mean if me and Rush were to both say... "we think that there is too much corruption in this country." we might agree on that, then we both would agree to say "Freedom of speech is a good way to talk about said corruption in this country to maybe change things for the better." we could both agree on that too. Then if he says "We need to keep the gays from getting married because that is an example of said corruption!" I would have to disagree with him on that.... I am not disagreeing with his right to say it... I don't think he should be censored or anything.

I am not sure why are trying to make it seem like I am against the freedoms we enjoy sir.... it seems to me that I should still be able to excorcise my right to disagree with Rush Limbaugh without being accused of being against "Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness"... But hey if you think in me disagreeing with him is me disagreeing with these things and the freedom of speech.... that's your opinion and you are entitled to it.... I just happen to disagree with you.

I get what you're saying Phee.... I think we do all want the same thing in the end just don't always agree on how to get there.

[phee]

To add:

For example you have in a very nonsubtle way stated that you "disagree" with Obama (I assume thats what you mean when you stated he was the Anit-Christ)... but Obama has stated that he believes in Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness... as well... he has stated that he wants to help the countries economic crises, and help give more Americans jobs....

I would NEVER accuse you of being against these things because you disagree with Obama, you disagree with how he is going about it, or you disagree with his percieved actual goals. It is the same with me and Rush.

If someone were state for example, "We need to help the economy." I would agree... and then they were to say "And to do this we need to kill all the Asian Americans in Florida." I can disagree with that persons suggested method, without it meaning that I DON'T want the economy to improve.

[Destroit]

Yes, lets look at the "evil" Rush and the things he says.

And yet...people vote for Obama :. Maybe Rush is a bit of a loose cannon, but I could name people in my everyday life that would have more common sense with money and policies than Obama has demonstrated thus far, so basically anything is an improvement imo. Haven't seen one good thing he plans on doing yet for the country, except decriminalizing medical marijuana on a fed level (trying anyhow).

Personally, I like a balsy person in office, maybe they're rough around the edges but they're not holding bullshit back trying to be sugar sweet and politically correct like Obama. He was so pathetically trying to win votes when he was running, he probably woulda given you a handjob if you propositioned him just to get you go Obama on election day , I really don't like that because it just shows he cares more about being president than the real issues, imo. That's why I don't totally hate Rush, and yes, for those whom have said it already: Why the hell does every dem bring up the painkiller thing? Everyone's acting like he was some crazy meth head or something, I don't get the big deal personally.

[phee]

I get what you're saying Phee.... I think we do all want the same thing in the end just don't always agree on how to get there.

Indeed sir... you do understand me

I can only go on what you say. You said you are against his methods, his methods are Free Speech. It's his only method. So, now you qualify that and say you support his Free Speech, just not what he is saying... So you do agree with his methods...

I don't think your normal methods of obfuscation, avoidance and misdirection are going to work here phee... You might have to actually take a position, stick to it and defend it.

Well said - I personally didn't want the hand job so I didn't vote for him.

No Gaf, I do understand what Phee is saying.... I think he just worded it wrong at first - he's not talking about Rush's methods of getting the word out, he's saying he doesn't necessarily agree on Rush's ideas of how to fix things.

[Der Nister]

If one rides a high horse they should be perfect. Those that live in glass houses - shouldn't be throwing stones.

And I realize - those that are fans of conservatives don't like to hear the ugly truth about persons who fly the same flag.

If Rush's drug use is no big deal then I think there is something fundementally wrong with people who are ok with drug abusers that conceal their habit and have a soapbox in which they are trying to change the minds and opinions of the larger portion of our population.

Has any of that gotten through? Do I need to go into more detail?

Lemme know.

[Der Nister]

Oh and btw - Rush had no issues blasting Clinton for the "scandel" with Monica.

Ok - a bj compared with a hidden drug addiction.

Well - I think that says a lot about a persons character.
