He hopes America Fails too.

Cause he is a capitalist first.

A Republikan second.

A Douchbage third.

A hater of America for all time.

Our national well being has never been his interest except that he makes millions from the brain weak sheeple who coincidently live in America.

Anyone who said something like this about Bush was accused of being unpatriotic, but, of course, Limbaugh isn't seen by his followers as beiong unpartiotic. He is, however, idiotic, as someone who just might become a senator once said.

He hopes America Fails too.

Bullshit. Statements like yours are what you get when a person reads a secondhand story without listening to the whole thing from the source.

Let me ask you a question and I will use an extreme example:

What if a 1940's German citizen had said that they hoped their elected leader failed in his attempt to make their country great again and revive their economy? After all, that was Hitler's STATED reason for doing what he did. Would that citizen have been hoping Germany fails? Would their statement have meant that they hated their country? NO! It would simply have meant that they didn't like what he was doing to accomplish his stated goal. It would have meant that they didn't agree with the direction he was taking them and that it would be ultimately harmful in their opinion, and that they hoped he would fail in his endeavor.

Now, I am not saying Obama is Hitler. He isn't by a long shot (and I hope history proves me right. However, if Rush doesn't agree with the direction he thinks Obama is taking us-- that is to say he thinks Obama's methods are ultimately harmful to the country-- why should he have to hope Obama succeeds?

Incidentally I saw Limbaugh on the Hannity show just a few minutes ago explaining this very thing. If Obama succeeds in improving the country without moving us closer to socialism then he would be glad for Obama's success.

Let me ask you... how many of the libs here were hoping for George W Bush's success after just suspecting what his future policies might be like?

" If Obama succeeds in improving the country without moving us closer to socialism"

WTF does that idiot think Bush and Paulson just did?

What if a 1940's German citizen had said that they hoped their elected leader failed in his attempt to make their country great again and revive their economy? After all, that was Hitler's STATED reason for doing what he did. Would that citizen have been hoping Germany fails?

What if your rhetoric were hyperbolic and obviously insane? What if it made you seem like a complete lunatic?

"Now, I am not saying Obama is Hitler. He isn't by a long shot (and I hope history proves me right."

Well, unless he starts rounding up Republicans, confining them in concentration camps, and exterminating them...I think you're safe.

Godwin rules.

I love this part best:

"Now, I am not saying Obama is Hitler. He isn't by a long shot (and I hope history proves me right...."

Well, unless he starts rounding up Republicans, confining them in concentration camps, and exterminating them...I think you're safe.

FF

Moo-
What odds do you and "Rush" place on history's possible conclusion that "Obama is Hitler"? Have you and "Rush" spoken of this, ditto-fart?

"Well, unless he starts rounding up Republicans, confining them in concentration camps, and exterminating them..."

Well, it's best not to raise expectations too high. That will have to wait until his 2nd term.

believe it or not dissent is not always good,in the case of Rush he needs Obama to fail, his speech only gets credence when what he wines about is remotley true.

i do believe that if rush was to die today nobody would attend his funeral, the same cannot be said for obama....you can tell alot about a person with the kind of people that attend his funeral at the end of his life.

.....maybe he should just end his life now and do us all a favour.

holy crappe!

we're all still here to tell the tale! america still has a shred of decency.

lovin' every minute of it.

off to bed now.

Australia-
Don't make jokes about anyone's death, please.

"in the case of Rush he needs Obama to fail"

No he doesn't...it's a parlor game.

If Obama does A, Rush will scream that he should have done B.

If he does B, he'll wail that Obama should have done A.

As long as the checks keep cashing.

First of all, I don't feel that Obama is Hitler and will start rounding up people. I would hazard a guess that Rush doesn't think Obama is Hitler either, but you will have to ask Rush about that yourself since I don't speak for him. Really, you should try not to be so incredibly stupid regardless of whether it is intentional or unintentional on your part.

WTF does that idiot think Bush and Paulson just did?

WTF makes you think that matters? Bush isn't President anymore and we are looking to the future under Obama? WTF makes you you think that Obama doing even more of it is ok if Bush doing it was wrong? The things is, Rush has blasted some of those socialist policies that Bush started implementing... like the bailout. Regardless... even if he had supported every single Bush policy and then had a problem with Obama, that would simply make him a hypocrit the same as those that would condemn those actions by Bush but give Obama a pass on them.

What odds do you and "Rush" place on history's possible conclusion that "Obama is Hitler"?

Slim.... very, VERY slim. Again, you will have to ask Rush for his position on it but I would hazard a guess that it is similar.

Now, are you guys done with knocking down your strawmen? Like I said in my first post... Obama isn't Hitler and my post wasn't made to suggest he was. It was simply using a historical scenario that we can all agree on the right and wrong of to demonstrate that a person hoping for the failure of an elected leader isn't necessarily guilty of hating their country. It is entirely possible that they just feel the direction that leader will take the country is a harmful one.

Hitler's policies harmed Germany even as they were implemented under the guise of helping Germany. However there are lots of ways to harm a country. Obama's policies don't have to be anything like Hitler's in order to be ultimately harmful to America.

I will ask again, and maybe one of you will have the courage to answer this time:

Let me ask you... how many of the libs here were hoping for George W Bush's success after just suspecting what his future policies might be like?

AS long as there are small boys in third world countries to violate and a ready supply of Viagra, Flush Rimjob doesn't really give a shit about anything else.

"Really, you should try not to be so incredibly stupid "

Writes the guy who posted-

"Now, I am not saying Obama is Hitler. He isn't by a long shot (and I hope history proves me right...."

Too funny.

"WTF makes you think that matters? "

Bush drove the ship of state off the cliff, and then handed the steering wheel over to Obama. We're headed for a crash, and I'll bet idiots like you will think it's all Obama's fault.

AS long as there are small boys in third world countries to violate and a ready supply of Viagra, Flush Rimjob doesn't really give a shit about anything else.

It isn't surprising you would think this. What is surprising is that you actually expended the time and energy necessary to type it out and post it considering the total lack of reality and intelligence that when into the thought.

It is also not surprising that you still haven't answered the question:

Let me ask you... how many of the libs here were hoping for George W Bush's success after just suspecting what his future policies might be like?

"Now, I am not saying Obama is Hitler. He isn't by a long shot (and I hope history proves me right...."

Too funny.

Explain why you find that funny, or do you just have a tendency to laugh for no reason?

Bush drove the ship of state off the cliff, and then handed the steering wheel over to Obama. We're headed for a crash, and I'll bet idiots like you will think it's all Obama's fault.

Bullshit. Bush had his part, but he wasn't the only player involved. Democrats had their arms shoulder deep in the mess as well. Regardless it is more like a fire than it is a cliff. Once you go over a cliff nothing can be done and the disaster can't be averted, or made worse by those going over. However, in a fire your response or lack of a response can do nothing, make it better, or make it worse. If Obama continues moving towards a socialistic solution it will be like pouring gasoline on the fire.

Moofucker,

You asked a question about how many 'libs' were hoping for Chimpy's failure.

Since we should be comparing apples to apples, find one 'lib' talking head that publicly stated that he wanted the cocksucker formerly known as POTUS to fail. On his second day in office.

Then we can talk.

Flushbots!!!! You can't live with them and you can't hit them over the head with a shovel. Maybe we can send the to Gitmo once we clear out the prisoners?

"Once you go over a cliff nothing can be done and the disaster can't be averted"

You're right. We're headed for a disaster, that will only be somewhat mitigated by the airbags (bailout).

"If Obama continues moving towards a socialistic solution"

Bush, and his do-nothing SEC appointees, left him no other choice. Did you know there were complaints regarding Madoff's Ponzi scheme every year Bush was in office? How did that turn out?

"Democrats had their arms shoulder deep in the mess as well."

Do you have any idea how governance works? Do you even have a passing familiarity with Robert's Rules of Order? The majority party with a majority President calls the shots. A minority member on a Republican-controlled committee doesn't have the power of a fart in a windstorm. How much control over wording in the banking bills do you think Dems had? 5%? 10%? And can you point to a single banking bill Bush has signed in the last two years? I'll give you a hint: you can't, as the R's more than doubled the all-time record for filibusters, and Bush wouldn't have signed anything the Dems wanted anyway.

But I guess it's futile expecting any responsibility from the party of responsibility.

Since we should be comparing apples to apples, find one 'lib' talking head that publicly stated that he wanted the cocksucker formerly known as POTUS to fail. On his second day in office.

No, your are right... they were just too busy whining about how he stole the election without any evidence. He also wasn't asking for trillions more in deficit spending during "the worst economy in 70 years".

Bush, and his do-nothing SEC appointees, left him no other choice.

Don't forget the "there is nothing wrong here" Democrats like Barney Frank and Chris Dodd that obstructed attempts at reform even once they had a chance to do something about it. It wasn't all about Madoff... as a matter of fact, Madoff's shit only really hit the fan after the housing bubble collapse and the resulting meltdown of the mortgage industry lead by Fannie and Freddie.

Do you have any idea how governance works?

Yes, but evidently you are a little shaky on the concept.

The majority party

Yes... and the Dems were in the majority the last two years... and refused to even acknowledge that there was a problem even after the flames were rising and starting to spread. You act as if the 2006 election never happened. You also act as if it were the Dems that gave all the warnings about the meltdown that was to come. It wasn't... it was Bush, McCain, etc. The whole time the Dems refused to admit there was anything wrong at all even into their control of both houses of Congress.

Please, I beg of you, try to tell me how the nasty Republcans filibustered attempts to fix it. Of course that would have been impossible since the Dems didn't try to fix it at all, or even acknowledge a problem until the shit hit the fan so there was nothing before that for the Republican's to filibuster that was relevant.

Moo,

Please let me be the FIRST to say this on DR:

If you don't like it here now that O is president, GET THE FUCK OUT OF OUR COUNTRY!!!

I am sure JeffinDenfuckingMark will welcome you with open arms in his commune. Just bring your own tube of KY!!!

If you don't like it here now that O is president, GET THE FUCK OUT OF OUR COUNTRY!!!

Let me be the first to say to you:

If you don't like the freedom of speech in MY country, feel free to get the fuck out.

Liberalism is our problem. Liberalism is what's gotten us dangerously close to the precipice here.

-Brush Lintball.

It must be nice to label everything done, even by your own people, that you don't like as "liberalism". Limbaugh is a gas bag, he doesn't believe half of what he says (unless the oxycotin is flowing) and he's basically laughing at his moron followers. He's Ann Coulter with bigger tits and a smaller dick.

PS- "Rush Limbaugh is a drug addict."

Silly me, I should have known that a Flushbot can't recognize irony when it hits him in the face at 60 miles per hour.

Silly me, I should have known that a Flushbot can't recognize irony when it hits him in the face at 60 miles per hour.

Considering that I:

A) don't listen to Rush's show so can't be considered a "Flushbot"

and...

B) Have never until now told anyone they could get out of the country if they didn't like Bush....

There was no irony in your post what-so-ever as it applies to me.

"and the Dems were in the majority the last two years..."

Give me 41 Senators and a President with a veto pen, and let me blame you for all the stuff I obstruct.

"even once they had a chance to do something about it."

It's obvious you don't have the first clue how governance works, or what happens when one party nearly triples the all-time record for obstructionism. Have you found that one Dem-written banking bill yet? No?

"You also act as if it were the Dems that gave all the warnings about the meltdown that was to come. It wasn't... it was Bush, McCain, etc. "

How stupid are you? Paulson had the bailout plan in the works for months, and never told the Democratic leadership. And Obama warned the same way McCain did. But tell us...did the Dems come to Bush and Paulson with the bailout, or was it the other way around?

Give me 41 Senators and a President with a veto pen, and let me blame you for all the stuff I obstruct.

Show me one piece of legislation by the Dems before the shit hit the fan and became impossible to ignore that even admitted there was a problem with Fannie, Freddie, or the mortgage industry in general that was filibustered or vetoed.

Wow... you change your tune quickly don't you. First I don't understand governance because Robert's Rules says the majority rules and minority has power:

Do you have any idea how governance works? Do you even have a passing familiarity with Robert's Rules of Order? The majority party with a majority President calls the shots. A minority member on a Republican-controlled committee doesn't have the power of a fart in a windstorm.

Then you inadvertently admit there are parliamentary procedures usable by a minority to affect the outcome. Hint: filibusters are only one of them you just obviously don't know, or are ignoring the existence of the others:

It's obvious you don't have the first clue how governance works, or what happens when one party nearly triples the all-time record for obstructionism.

Sounds like YOU are the one that doesn't understand how governance works.

How stupid are you?

Evidently not as stupid as you. Do you remeber all the hearings on the mortgage industry and all the Dems claiming there was nothing to see here? It was an attitude that continued until they couldn't ignore the 800lb. angry gorilla collapsing in the room... well after they were in control of both Houses.

"Show me one piece of legislation by the Dems before the shit hit the fan"

They never get out of committee. RROR.

"Do you remeber all the hearings on the mortgage industry and all the Dems claiming there was nothing to see here?"

"Show me one piece of legislation by the Dems before the shit hit the fan"

They never get out of committee.

Well then, according to you, a Democrat MUST have been the one to kill it in committee. After all you DID, with all your wisdom on governance, say:

A minority member on a Republican-controlled committee doesn't have the power of a fart in a windstorm.

Maybe Paulson keeping the bailout from them had something to do with it

4 words for Rush - I hope you die.

Which says more about you than it does about him, scumbag.

I got to 1:18 in the audio before I just couldn't take any more. He has a point when he says that there were some who wanted the Bush presidency to fail right from the get go. Then he does the same thing. If they were wrong to do so, how come he isn't?

" If Obama succeeds in improving the country without moving us closer to socialism"

Translation: Don't try to pass universal health care. This is their new code: universal health care = socialism. Socialism = Communism. Import goods from China and pretend to be conservative. The problem for the right is that they deserted all conservative principles so that corporations could make profits through outsourcing and illegal immigration. We live in a nation on the brink of economic catastrophe because of the ideology of the right, no homeowner in the US should listen to that fat fuck, his party and economic beliefs have just bankrupted most Americans.

"Import goods from China and pretend to be conservative."

Well, a certain British fellow recommends the youngsters to move there!

Now it's time to emigrate, says investment guru

When asked his advice for a young person growing up in Britain, Jim Rogers, former partner of George Soros and one of the world's most successful investors, is forthright. "Move to China; learn Chinese."

Limbaugh said, "I disagree fervently with the people on our [Republican] side of the aisle who have caved and who say, 'Well, I hope he succeeds.'"

Limbaugh told his listeners that he was asked by "a major American print publication" to offer a 400-word statement explaining his "hope for the Obama preside More..ncy." He responded:

"So I'm thinking of replying to the guy, 'Okay, I'll send you a response, but I don't need 400 words, I need four: I hope he fails.'

Of course he does. He has demonstrated time and time again, partisan success is more important than American success to him.

I have no idea why this retard is listened to by anyone.

BTW Rush Limbaugh is a drug addict.

4 words for Rush - I hope you die.

#34 | Posted by LetUsPrey

I wouldn't wish that on him. It will come to him soon enough on it's own. Chances are he will relapse into popping pills for pleasure and that may very well do him in. It already cost him his hearing.

I think becoming irrelevant would be a much greater punishment for that pompous self absorbed retard.

Gee who would have thought a political pundit expressing his opinion. Can someone explain how it will fare for the party Rush supports if Obama succeeds? Is htere not a ring of truth to what he says? Or is this another situation where the fucking Senate Majority Leader is going to waste time drawing up a document for the other useless Senators to sign?

Can someone explain how it will fare for the party Rush supports if Obama succeeds?

We are all in the same country and, as we have learned from Bush' failure, Americans suffer, not just members of the other party.

Is htere not a ring of truth to what he says?

THere is for those, like Rush, who place party above country.

Or is this another situation where the fucking Senate Majority Leader is going to waste time drawing up a document for the other useless Senators to sign?

That will happen as well and more calls for the fairness doctrine, which I believe is what Rush was hoping for by saying this.

We are all in the same country and, as we have learned from Bush' failure, Americans suffer, not just members of the other party.

Let me see if I have this right? Better yet, is it fair to compare what a bias political entertainer says to a elected representative? Was every criticism true or not leveled at Bush by Dems like Reid, Pelosi, Murtha... for the good of the Country? Or good for the party?

Was every criticism true or not leveled at Bush by Dems like Reid, Pelosi, Murtha... for the good of the Country? Or good for the party?

Crispee,
I see where you are going and I agree, but you cannot score points against me with that line; you know I hate Pelosi and Reid and Democrats as much as I do Republicans.

is it fair to compare what a bias political entertainer says to a elected representative?
I am not comparing the two, just saying that Rush and Farah's hoping for Obama's failure shows they care more for their party than they do the country. Two wrongs don't make a right, they make two wrongs.

Crispee,
I am not comparing the two, just saying that Rush and Farah's hoping for Obama's failure shows they care more for their party than they do the country. Two wrongs don't make a right, they make two wrongs.

It was a glib response by Rush. Nobody actually believes he would wish for the failure of America. It was a politically motivated statement.

Crispee,

I am just tired of all this Partisan Bullshit from both sides. Pelosi and Reid are worse than Rush and Farah because Pelosi and Reid are supposed to be working for the entire country while Rush and Farah work only for their followers/listeners, but all are disgusting and wrong. They are all profiting from keeping America divided rather than trying to take a weakened nation and build it back up. Because one side is more disgusting does not give the other side the freedom to be disgusting as well and not be called on it.

Kanrei,
I don't disagree with your assement of the parties. I am just saying this is being overblown because of how his words are interpreted. Just like when he was accused of calling American soldiers cowards. The spin is the story not the meaning.

"The spin is the story not the meaning."

Black magic at it's best?

and again..

here is what he was talking about

just this morning on cspan

the rep from tennessee....zach wamp I believe his name was..said that a real stimulus with new jobs is able to work on only 65 billion and that of the 152 line items that only 11 ACTUALLY CREATE JOBS..

and that there are billions for jobs for kids..NOT our economies pressing problem

and the remainder is going to social issues

so when we say we hope obama fails..>THESE are the things we are talking abuot

so you can use a headline here or one there and all it shows is that many of you are just PARTISAN HACKS who dont want to hear the whole story

ALSO

the rep from tennessee who is also runnning for governor....(NATIONAL OFFICE IN 2012???)

said that there are 5 times more jobs created in government with this thing than there are the private sector

foreshadowing of my fears on SUPER nanny government??

AND another quote from cspan

obama will be successfull if he makes the FAR LEFT madder than the FAR right.....some truth to that I think

I do want Obama to fail in implementing socialist programs which would fundamentally change/ruin our country/government.

But you voted for Bush twice, right?

"Which says more about you than it does about him, scumbag.

That fat bumblef*ck doesn't have to worry about the next few years. He's a fatal coronary that is just around the corner, and the day he is silenced can't come soon enough.

By a clue people.
It's all a big puppet show,
The Rightwing I hope Obama fails is the same old playing one side against the other.
Limbaugh is a puppet, and says exactly what his handlers tell him to say.

Obama will fail with the economy. The only way the economy can be bailed out is if he manages to set off ww3. The economy is so far down the flush swirl now that the interest on the debt alone has reached hyperbolic proportions.
Its all a big set up.

Get ready for rapids, and rocks ahead.

"what does that have to do "

If you don't like socialism, blame the guys who dumped it on America before leaving town.

Praying for failure of Obama brings "socialism" has not only the weakness of letting the idiots define socialism (and those idiots lack even a clue). It also ignores that we have socialism now, at least for banks and auto makers. herm

There were over 2400 people murdered in this country last year, yet Rush Limbaugh walks the face of this earth.

We HAVE to get our priorities in order.

"If you don't like socialism, blame the guys who dumped it on America before leaving town."

Do you mean David Rockefeller, and the Council on Foreign Relations? Or Zbigniew Brzezinski, and the Trilateral Commission?

"Do you mean..."

The oath is a requirement under the Constitution--it counted the first and the second time. Getting one word out of place would not derail Obama.

As to this thread--taken in context--Rush complains about socialism and what he perceives Obama is going to do. And he wants it to fail--because of what socialism will do to this country.

He was not happy with the bailout plan either.

But Obama has bigger and worser plans to go forward.

---

I won't have to hope Obama's policies will fail--I know they will fail.

They have been tried before and failed--

What is the definition of insanity again?

I do pray for Obama to be wise and do the right thing and hope the country doesn't get screwed over in the process.

The difference is, Clinton's blowjob didn't kill more than 4,000 Americans (plus 3,000+ oin 9/11) plus who knows how many Iraqis.

So settle back and get used to it. You'll be hearing a lot about your buddy Bush in the days and years to come as we try to survive the costs of his incompetence and stupidity. And then, if we do manage to survive, attmept to recreate an America of which we can be proud.

Rush will continue to make statements like this and, I have no doubt, will probably up the ante with even more outrageous pronouncements in increasingly desperate attempts to forestall his inevitable irrelevancy.

The notion (not idea but notion) that "Liberals wished for Iraq to FAIL" is an Rtard meme spewed by vacuous, intellectually disingenous (that means lying sacks of shiat, btw) fuckwits like Rush Limpo.

Wishing for failure in Iraq is like wishing for the deaths of American servicemen and Iraqi civilians or for Obama's presidency to fail.

ie. Something only a completely amoral partisan hack and asshole would do.

That all sed, noting that Iraq was a LIE from the get-go and that one can't inject democracy into an entire country like an innoculation is completely on the table here.

Noting the torture scandals, the cost over-runs, the corrupt no-bid crony contracts that enriched Cheney and his pals personally is not wishing for Iraq to fail.

Noting that the hundreds of thousands of dead is a tragedy or that the million of refugees and internally displaced peoples is a humanitarian crisis that will produce monsters down the road is also not akin to wishing for Iraq to fail.

Noticing failure is not the same thing as wishing for it.

Spud wishes BushCo had never lied the country to war in the first place.

Spud wishes that the lives that have been lost there could be returned.

Spud wishes that the tortured could have their physical and mental scars healed once more.

Spud wishes that America declares victory in Iaq and leaves the place in short order as Obama has promised.

But Spud does NOT now and has NEVER wished that Iraq would fail.

That would be as wrong as America staying there forever.

Even now BushCo is trying to spin it's meme that America needs to stay there even longer through the auspices of Ryan Crock o'shit who is mercifully retiring from the foreign service next month.

BTW Rush Limbaugh is a drug addict

so where is all the love ,compassion and understanding that liberals suppose to have for substance abusers?

Limbaugh is an entertainer. The number of postings on this thread says limbaugh is doing his job quite nicely.

Rush just took on a new middle name.

Rush I-hope-he-fails Limbaugh

Has a certain ring to it, no?

** plus.............I HEARD HE MAY EVEN BE IN TO WOMAN AFTER ALL!!!

.........that's just an ugly rumor..........

......Rush only likes Puerto Rican 10 year old boys & Oxycontin.....

.......and not necessarily in that order...

I said he MAY BE into women. not that he IS......... I kind of doubt it.
...........Anyone that rabid MUST BE NOT BE!!!!

I never heard ANYBODY on the Left say he "hopes Bush fails." We on the Left were dismayed at Bush's massive collection of failures. We all suffered as a result of them - all Americans. Unlike Rush, we aren't moronic enough to want our own life support to fail just to punish somebody else for disagreeing with us.

Remember that, after 9/11, more than 92% of the American people were rooting for him - the highest ratings of support since Pearl Harbor, and possibly the highest ratings of support in our history.

It was Bush's failures that turned the great majority of people against him, not "hatred of Bush" that undid him.

We on the Left are smart enough to realize that all Americans live in the same lifeboat and, even when we disagree with the policies of the government, we don't want to see our lifeboat taking on water. When anybody drowns, we all do.

On the Right, however, ideology rules over reason, and they would rather see the American lifeboat sink than see it stay afloat under anybody's captaincy but theirs - as Rush so obscenely demonstrated.

Over the past two decades, it has been consistently the Republican party that has tried to obstruct government even when the country suffers for their obstruction. Their monomania to cause Bill Clinton to fail or be driven from office is what caused them in the 1990s to ignore terrorism and not only resist all of Clinton's anti-terror bills, but actually denounce his attempt to kill bin Laden in 1998 as merely a "wag the dog" ploy to distract the American people from the Holy Republican Inquisition against the sinful blowjobs.

Rush Limbaugh, like so many of his ideologically blindered ilk, is like the guy who is shooting holes in the other side of the lifeboat's bottom in order to sink the guys on the other side.

Give me a break. Limbaugh is enmeshed in a paranoid, reactionary ideology that he holds higher than patriotism to his country. He is a traitor and seditionist of the first water and should be recognized as such.

BLUESUN

EVEN THOUGH I HATE LIBS..........YOUR RIGHT ABOUT BUSH..............
.............libs are still stoopid........

"Pay attention to meeeeeeeeee!!!!
Look over here at meeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!"

hey.........

RUSH IS THE MESIAH............

every thing I know about Oxycotton and the Duminican Republic I know from him ......... he is my hero

and IM GLAD HIS HOT AIR WILL RUIN LIB FORRESTS !!!!! TO MANY TREE HUGGERS ............LESS TREES........LESS TREE HUGGERS

Why do people still listen to that coke-head, and what did Hitler ever do to you people?

Isn't is it about time for El Rushbo to head down to the Dominican Republic to get his butt boil lanced by some lucky cabana boy?

I can't blame Rush or any other Republican for hoping that Obama fails. If he succeeds, he captures a generation of voters in the same way that FDR did. Because of the financial crisis and the urgent need for government action, Obama is in the position to set the template for Democratic presidents for decades.

The Republicans, who already are in a world of hurt because of demographics and Bush trashing the party, need him to fail. Unfortunately for them (and for us), the costs of failure at this point could be catastrophic.

Voicing the fact that he hopes Obama fails -- at this point in time no less -- demonstrates that Rush is a stooge who puts party over patriotism. His side trashed the country and their own principles for eight years. It's time to see if the Democrats can turn things around.

Rcade- you're wrong.

Rush doesn't put party ahead of country. He puts his wallet above both.

The RNC are HIS stooges. The dittoheads are HIS stooges. The Democratic and Republican parties are just fantasy football teams to Rush. He gets paid to cheer for one team, no matter what, but you know he isn't serious about it.

Case in point: Remember when he was relieved to no longer be holding the republicans water? A whole 2 years ago?

so where is all the love ,compassion and understanding that liberals suppose to have for substance abusers?

Sorry, it ran out after we learned he used his maid to score his drugs, then used the ACLU for his defense after slamming them as unamerican for years. Then when he went on a "fishing trip" with all guys to one of the whore capitals of the world. With illegal viagra.

Now he's telling us point blank that he hopes Obama sucks as president for four years. Think our economy can survive four years of shit? I don't.

Love, compassion, and understanding only last so long. Rush used up the supply for three people in the last ten years alone.

I see libs-heads exploding everywhere.

Pretty funny actually.

It doesn't matter--

Obama is using liberal policies that have been tried before and will fail.

No you don't. You can't even be honest about what your own eyes see. Nobody cares what this blowhard thinks anymore. Not even your moronic conservative brethren. I've never listened to Flush willingly. The few times I have listened to him were at the behest of crybaby co-workers who had to have their fix. He's always been a one trick pony; much like yourself. And we know he's rich, so don't bother telling us. We also know that McDonald's makes millions, but we'd never believe that their product has any value.

It's obvious was Limbaugh was saying. It's also obvious that the Republicans are going to cave to Obama until they find a weakness that they can nail him with. What is most obvious is that this is all a game to them all. For all the hype of change all we have is Bush on steroids in Obama. But let's keep the common people on both sides hating the other so nobody will look behind the curtain, OK?

What is the definition of insanity?

Danforth,
So if he would have put his hand on the Satanic bible would that be ok to?

Every president since George Washington has laid his hand on the bible, But I guess Saint Obama is better than them.

Wow. I hadn't seen Rush in a long time. He's getting HUGE.

Very Jabba the Hut

Obama didn't need to place His hand upon a Bible JeffnDenmark. After all this IS a secular Country.

Larry

Rush Limbaugh...ugh...
How can such a smart man say such stupid shit?
Simple...He's a divisive, team oriented, partisan hack, dumbed down by his deep hatred of the opposition.
Always has been, always will be.
He's no better than Keith Olbermann, Sean Hannity, Chris Matthews, Mark Levin, Al Franken or Jack Cafferty.
Divisive, useless retards.
Screw those dolts...listen to Neil Boortz's show instead and pay those other fools no mind.

This is simply more of the Same from the G.O.P.
hardcore...

They don't agree with something...

Label it...label it Communist, or Socialist.
Label it...Leftwing or Liberal.
Label it...AntiAmerican.

Red Meat for idiot Republitards who respond
to One Liners and Drum beaters, and never to
THINKERS...

But what to expect from a party that is spoonfed
lies by the likes of Flush, Coulter, and Faux
News. They've always been about Party First,
then America...Their version of America is the
only one that counts....well you lost...sit down
and take a seat for a bit.

Of course he wants Obama to fail...
He would be close to out of a job if Obama
succeeds...

Rush I dub thee the CC of the G.O.P.

Conservative Codpiece that is...

idiots...

The funny thing is that stupid and lazy sophomoric "progressives" here are making Limbaugh's point for him better then he is... imagine that "liberal" used to mean something real in not too distant past....

"We on the Left are smart enough to realize that all Americans live in the same lifeboat and, even when we disagree with the policies of the government, we don't want to see our lifeboat taking on water. When anybody drowns, we all do."

That is complete & utter bullshit. The left in this country would happily do everything that has been done in this country over again, suffer the same hardships, foreclose on as many homes, close as many businesses, go to war, whatever it takes to keep power. People that don't want to be wards of the state don't see the government as their lifeboat in the first fucking place & that is the basic difference in a hardcore lefty & anyone with any sense right there. It can't continue to be all about Bush can it? That's done! We're "moving on" aren't we? Don't piss your pants because your guy is now subject to the same critcisms and expectations as any other dude in the white house. I for one will not be giving him a pass & you'd think minions wouldn't be out there laying the ground work for him to need one! Where's the hope & the optimism for change? Rush may WANT him to fail, (completely OK BTW because it's based on ideology that Rush considers bad for America) but his own supporters seem to be EXPECTING him to? Very curious to me. There is a great deal of planning for it & it would seem some are working overtime to prepare us for it, ya know, just in case? This Bush deflecting is just another excuse for any impending failure because unless BO pulls a magic wand out of his ass, someone somewhere is going to be disappointed. Many of the left can't handle disappointment for the most part with the participation-trophy mentality but losing is something everyone needs to learn to cope with & quickly & you know what, it is more character building than winning in most everything in life but politics, which by nature, has no character sadly. Democrats have been in the unenviable position of America's sufferings being politically advantageous for them. Now, the republicans, being the party out of power, have to hope for the worst too so when election day rolls around, they'll vote, if not for them, then against the democrats. Quite the wonderful formula we've cooked up for ourselves isn't it? A textbook recipe for disaster!

Of course he wants Obama to fail...
He would be close to out of a job if Obama
succeeds...

How do you figure unless the President makes a concerted effort to stifle dissent like a DICTATOR! I'm sure Pelosi, Reid & the rest of those fucking hacks are already on it via the Fairness Doctrine so I suppose one can hope right?
Idiot!

There you go again HATEBIGGOV...

LABELing away like a good Republican...(obviously
he skipped the section of my post about Republican
labeling)

DICTATOR even...and after only one day in office;
surely, yours is the voice of Reason...(*cough*)

How about we give Mr. Obama a chance, eh?

I mean we gave Bush/Chenney Co. eight long
years, and they only dug us into a hole
deeper than Jules Vernes "Journey to the
Center of the Earth"...

If he screws up, on the order of Bush Co. then,
you can label him something or other...

But Dictator? Really?

There you go again HATEBIGGOV

Nowhere in my post did I call anyone a dictator. I pointed out that it is a practice of dictators to quell dissent. Show me anywhere in history that isn't true with dictators & I'll happily apologize. I hope to have more class to allow this man a chance & wish him the best with cautious optimism & to support my president. Would that the same could have EVER been said about Bush from the left!

Rush is so fat he makes Oprah look like Diana Ross.
He looks like he swallowed one of those Dominican boys he was doing. Maybe he and Hannity can do a show together. How about, "Hannity and the Manatee" or my personal favorite, Douchebags and Windbags".

BTW: I'm a woman :)

When Obama begins arresting and imprisoning people idefinitely and subject to torture without charges, without benefit of counsel, and without trial---I think we can talk "dictator" at that point.

Man you guys are RABID in your unnecessary defense of this man! R E A D S L O W L Y !!! No one called him a dictator at all. "Me thinks thou doest protest too much" maybe?

BTW: Bush was no dictator either. I don't feel that claim can be made by any US president.... so far anyway.

to all posters

remember that me...the original bl2 actually was named bushlovertwo....and any other spelling of that such as bushluvertwo or bushlovertoo are people who are imposters. if you want to check look at old posts and look it up.

thank you

and more trash talk about a man who had a problem with perscription drugs and from people who will excuse even a cop killer

pathetic

Rush is now just tabloid entertainment. Like the old women that buy the Enquirer in the check out line, rejects pining for the Bush administration of old will cling to Mr. Oxy's tripe as some kind of ineffectual soap opera character they have to watch everyday.

Anyone who clings to his bullshit is vacant and not good for much else, so long has-beens!

For the intelligent people, its semi-amusing to watch the implosion. Well for Rush I guess the only possibility is explosion. The cancerous hatred and putrid lies are not pretty.

When you do not have a prescription they're called illicit drugs.

hmm...my bad...I guess I just misinterpretted your
sentence, "How do you figure unless the President makes a concerted effort to stifle dissent like a DICTATOR!".

Sounded like you were calling him a--oh, I don't know--a Dictator?

As far as allowing Bush a chance...he had eight long torturous years of chances...

Right after 9-11 I think almost all of America was
behind him, at least until he expanded the War to
include Iraq...

I think America gave him plenty of chances...he
just let the majority of us down too much.

Sorry, hit my quota for posts for one day...gotta get back to work for those people I love...America

Rush is now just tabloid entertainment

Rush is an opinion guy, it is entertainment. All the "news" is tabloid crap too now. Calling the POTUS Barack instead of Mr. President, & the glee of the tone & the Hollywood feel of it all. Someone on the DR called it "Entertainment Tonight" reporting & that is the nail on the head.

and for more than 8 years liberals rarely gave the respect of the office to "W" and so now we are all supposed to fall in the kool aid line

I DONT THINK SO............

and AGAIN...as I said earlier.

neither rush nor I wants the country to fail but if this bailout is done like they say it could be.
the country will NOT BENIFIT from it in the long run

and THIS is what he is saying...so all of you can run just the little bit of the comment all you want

People who actually take the time to listen to him for more than just a blurb like this one KNOW what he said.......

bl2 get drunk and we will go back to ignoring you. Do you have any family you spend time with?

what you meant to say is you have no answers to my documented charges of the day so you just arent CAPABLE of getting back to me...

I'm shocked, SHOCKED to find Limbaugh has no regard for the future of America.

If Obama's plan is to nationalize bankrupt banks, I hope he fails too. If his plan is to nationalize health care delivery and insurance, I hope he fails in that also. If his plan is to spend trillions more in deficits to prop up a broken financial and housing system, I hope he fails miserably. And I would have said the same about a "Republican", or anyone else.

The big fat idiot is an entertainer. The fact that millions of inbred imbeciles don't understand this is the real problem.

The big fat idiot is an entertainer. The fact that millions of inbred imbeciles don't understand this is the real problem.

Just like an arrogant lib to assume that any viewpoint that isn't theirs is inbred & wrong. What happened to those choices you guys are supposed to be all about? You just hate Rush because he's a threat to your establishment. Don't pop off either about him being divisive, blah, blah because opposing viewpoints are by default, divided. The strength of the opinions of right wing, SUCCESSFUL, talk radio seems "mean" to libs because most are guilt-ridden, handwringers who lack the strength of their convictions unless of course they can hold true to them with someone else's money. You're scared, Rush is not. You want to be liked. Rush doesn't care. For 8 years we've been told that dissent is the height of patriotism but now it isn't? Is anyone surprised?

lol. some of yo uon the right should really listen to yourselves. You sound like circa 1950's Re-runs
of Joe McCarthy.

I mean look at this rhetoric...

Another Limbaugh thread, where not one single person listened to the show that day, and did not hear what was actually said. Instead, you all see a headline and have a knee-jerk reaction.

What a sad state of affairs you all are in. But hell, you all 'blog' all day long. No wonder this country is in the shitter, get out and work.

Man, old Rush has really packed on the weight.

Go to 2:20 and hear what Bill O'Reilly has to say about supporting the President:

did not hear what was actually said

You mean like the part where Rush complained that "because the new president is black people are being told to bend over and grab their ankles"?

Or was there another quote you had in mind there?

Do you have some text from that show that defends Rush from charges of being an America-hating, blind, partisan hack and race baiting moron?

Cos if so, do share.

Or STFU.

You know, wotever works for you.

Be Well.

If Rush meant that he hopes Obama fails in some quest to socialize this Country, then I agree with him. If he meant that he hopes Obama fails in general in addressing our major issues so he won't get re-elected, then he's wrong.

As to Bill O saying it's unamerican to oppose the war etc, he's just being dim.

If Rush meant that he hopes Obama fails in some quest to socialize this Country, then I agree with him. If he meant that he hopes Obama fails in general in addressing our major issues so he won't get re-elected, then he's wrong.

I was in the car today for an hour and listened to Rush. Based upon what he had to say my interpretation of his position is the former of your 2 possibilities.

SOMOCO

He got his. Fuck everyone else.

I have to confess I think Rush rarely believes what he says. I agree with Olberman, Rush is a comedian and has an act. Nothing prevents a comedian from being cynical and nasty.

Have you ever read anything about Limbaugh's personal life? The man needs his wealth to distance himself from pity.

Franklin Pierce said "affirm" not "swear."

Add Adams, T. Roosevelt and Johnson to the list.

I love these Rush Limbaugh threads. They prove that most of his listeners are Liberals who are looking for an excuse to get offended.

Which makes sense, really. To be a Liberal means you're always walking around trying to find a reason to be pissed at somebody.

"That cashier dissed me because I'm Hispanic!"

"That 7/11 clerk didn't smile at me because I'm a fat, ugly chick!"

"My dimwit child got a poor grade in math because the teacher hates stupid children!"

Lenny Bruce talked a lot about how you surrender yourself when you let someone else offend you. Every time you turn on the radio you Liberals allow Rush Limbaugh to control your feelings.

Practice this phrase:

"Please Rush, put a bit in my mouth and drive me like a mule!"

Ultimately, the question is whether or not Rush Limbaugh is a patriotic citizen or a man who's cynically using vitriol agains fellow Americans to line his own pockets.

What about the responsibility on Jon Stewart?

Why is Stewart considered a clown and jokester, but Rush Limbaugh is taken so seriously?

They are both entertainers, but Lefties can't stand it when they get teased. That's why they think Stewart is funny but Limbaugh is somehow evil.

Geez, grow some gonads.

I agree with many criticisms of the man. However, he doesn't take himself as seriously as you portend - he has strong convictions but doesn't possess the over-inflated ego that he's portrayed as possessing.

Not exactly--

Teddy Roosevelt was the only one to not use a Bible.

March 4, 1853 -- Franklin Pierce
1.Drove to and from the Capitol standing up in his carriage.
2.Affirmed (rather than swore) the oath of office.
3.Broke precedent by not kissing the Bible, but merely placing his left hand on it.
4.First president to deliver inaugural address without referring to notes.

Rush rocks! lol ;o)

Is Rush off drugs now? Gearing up for his fourth divorce?

Ultimately, the question is whether or not Rush Limbaugh is a patriotic citizen or a man who's cynically using vitriol agains fellow Americans to line his own pockets. Sure, he's laughing all the way to the bank without a thought about how much damage he does, but I wonder if the thought ever crosses his mind how much damage he does to us being a nation with any sense of common purpose again.

Let's be real, though. The Country, ever since the beginning, has been based on really tough rhetoric among the parties. Even to the point of routine slander in the newspapers. We've always been resilient enough to handle squabbles like that, and I don't think Rush could ever possibly be powerful enough to do serious damage to "the nation." If he stirs passion, then so much the better.

Americans are a lot tougher, and smarter, than I think they get credit for.

Rush often accused the democrats of this behavior on air. I guess it's true when they say it takes one to know one.

I love listening to the liberals and conservatives tear each other a new one, it's so funny when you guys go on to blame the countries woes on the "other side"! I laughed at the fellow that tried to lay the banking de-regulation stuff on squarely on Bush's watch, the Glass-Steagall act of 1933 was designed to control speculation and keep the private banks from handling investments among other things which was replaced by the Gramm-Leach-Bliley (republican senators) Act of 1999 which then lead private banks and the securities industry to consolidate into huge financial centers and has been widely accepted as the major reason for the financial crisis of 2007-2009! Funny though that NO ONE talks about the fact that President Clinton signed this horrible piece of legislation into law, so yeah Bush was an idiot but the Dems have done just as much to put us where we now find ourselves, so what if Flush Limpdick said he wants Obama to fail, who gives a big hidey-ho, at least get your facts and history straight!

Only the GOP could get away with this.

the Gramm-Leach-Bliley (republican senators) Act of 1999 which then lead private banks and the securities industry to consolidate into huge financial centers and has been widely accepted as the major reason for the financial crisis of 2007-2009!

Ah, the 1999 Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act. Created, written and passed by the Republican Congress. Clinton should have vetoed it. What a shame a Republican Congress and a Republican President didn't bother to fix things. Oh wait, they were happy with it - after all, the wrote it.

Then there was the "Commodity Futures Modernization Act" passed 2 days after the Supreme Court issued its decision on Bush v. Gore. The same Gramm, 262 pages inserted, the same Republican President and Congress blocking every turn at fixing that.

Funny, the same Republicans that claim Clinton's success in getting debt under control was all their doing run away from their argument when you raise this specter.

"What a shame a Republican Congress and a Republican President didn't bother to fix things."

The republicans are 110% resposible for ALL the economic ills of the U.S. No democrat has EVER done ANYTHING that would be detrimental to the financial health of the country...and THIS proves it! Elect more democrats! They are ALL geniuses and extremely honest.

you DONT WANT TO ADMIT it because then you couldnt come up with your little petty and mean comments about rush.....
so go right ahead and ignore the truth in this issue because I know it will make you feel real good about yoursleves.

Rush Limbaugh doesn't have a very large ego? How strange. Maybe we could agree he pretends to have a very large ego.

Which gets us back to the actor/comedian thing. No, I don't think Rush has "strong convictions". I think he likes to make money.

"Libs can't figure out what he's (Rush) saying..."

I'mn still trying to get over the idea that Rush's humor is "subtle". The man's style is to hit people with pies, like the Three Stooges.

I think the argument here is between Rush's fans, who really do see something profound in the man, and the rest of us who just perceive Limbaugh and his fans as huffing spray paint.

"Petty and mean comments about Rush..."

I listened, fascinated, as Rush Limbaugh stopped exactly one step short of endorsing armed resistance to Federal agents during the Elian Gonzales affair.

Pretty much of a pattern on his part, really. The latest example is hoping for riots at the Democratic Convention.

People that hint at or hope for violence against or among their fellow citizens are scum, regardless of being comedians.

Who is sponsoring Rush these days? Obviously there are local sponsors for individual radio stations carrying his show, but if national sponsors get the idea that the majority of Americans who voted wanted Obama, and disapprove of Rush Limbaugh's snide remarks and racist nonsense, that fatass drug addict would be unemployed and back on some narrow-band hillbilly AM radio out in the woods fast!

Come on then. Who sponsors Rush? What products should I not ever be buying again. Snapple and hemorrhoid cream were easy, but what else?

interesting now that the libasses are in charge they still have to throw rocks at somebody, even if by their own admission at a fat drug user. while their boy is addicted to cigarettes and loves his coke they attack a non-elected entertainer who is not in charge of anything... its all right for their entertainers, most of whom are drug addicts to slam bush for the last 8 years but attack their boy and they become self rightious and wish for the attackers death...fine you fuckers started it but cant take what ya dish out.

"Non-elected entertainer...."

Exactly. Thank you.

As an entertainer, do you think Rush is better or worse than Sammy Davis, Jr.? Tiny Tim? Pia Zadora?

Rex the Wonder Dog?

it wont matter but you can stop using whatever you want..
be sure and call them to so they can laugh at you.
without you listening to their commercials on the show they will be down all the way to 10 million listeners every hour..........or maybe even more

JOHN...I didnt mean to sound mean on that post but I was just giving you some of liberals own medicine on what they say to me when I say that I dont spend one penny on a sean penn movie and when you are writing like a liberal...well it just cant help but sound mean and nasty.....

so sorry bout that....

"when you are writing like a liberal...well it just cant help but sound mean and nasty....."

C'mon, BL2, you've never needed an excuse before. Is this the "new" part of your new persona?

Aside from his drug issues he seems to have personality issues as well. I wonder if no one listed to him as a child and he has to resort to this kind of crazy talk to get attention? If Obama fails we all fail. Where the hell are his priorities?

Rush believes himself to be the one and only true defender of truth, justice, and the American way.

So? Obama believes himself to be the only person who can "save" America & he has a media that helps him sell it! SCARY!

Do you understand the concept of sarcasm, or using extreme or absurd examples to illustrate a point? Do you understand context?

"using extreme or absurd examples to illustrate a point?"

This is a very self defeating way of trying to illustrate a point. To be used very sparingly and with extreme care. As any debator can tell you. But quite a few Americans do seem to be addicted to it.

"Do you understand the concept of sarcasm...?"

You bet. I also understand Limbaugh will hold personal statements to be serious one day or just "funny" the next depending upon what's in it for him.

Rush Limbaugh is well bred. He has class and as is demonstrated with horses, class will tell. Rush is "unfailingly" courtly and courteous "to almost all" of his callers. He comes from a good well-accomplished family. Rush is not a mutant, but rather a product of generations of demonstrated excellence.

As for allegations of his drug use, when has drug use become a matter of concern to liberals? The President is a tobacco addict and an admitted coke user. The brain damage is apparent. By the way, many schizophrenics self-medicate with nicotine products and this helps keep their mental problems in check. Keep on smoking, Barack. If it improves your function, we're for it.

Why, even Sherlock Holmes ...

"Rush is unfailingly courtly...."

Save for those occasions someone gets a good adverse point in. Then he cuts them off and spends the next ten minutes insulting them.

"The brain damage is apparent..."

Self-retorting retort, as they say.

Does Rush still think Spanish is a "communist language"? I haven't kept up. Does he still think Obama is an Arab but not African-American?

Rush is "unfailingly" portly...

~Tiny Johnson

True dat.

He's one fat tub of goo, that boy.

Really sad thing?

Most of that fat is in his head.

Alas, poor Limpo, Spud knew him well...

...a fellow of infinite vest.

/All apologies to Willie S there.

Be Well.

Does Rush still think...?

~Zed

Did he ever?

Be Well.

/Yes, having fun parsing tonight.

The difference between Jon Stewart and Rush Limbaugh is that Stewart aims his cracks at individual pundits like Limbaugh, Hannity, et al. using their own words in most cases - sometimes obviously contradictory statements from the same people.

Limbaugh aims his vitriol at fellow Americans.

I'm surprised at how many libs take aim at Limbaughs drug use. Obama was glib and unapologetic about his cocaine and marijuana use. It was a non-issue that didn't affect his getting the democratic party nomination or getting elected. Drug use is so widely accepted by leftist liberals that they suspended enforcement of drug laws during the Democratic Convention after Obama was nominated.

Save your "Rush is a drug-addict" posts. Glass houses you know.

Pot meet kettle.
