I didn't think he was still that influential, but give the fatso some credit. Operation Chaos, it should be admited, was moderately succesful in Indiana as it did Hillary win a hairthing margin.

If the Gay Old Party cannot field a candidate that can beat Obama and have to interfere with the democratic primary that is pretty pathetic.

Gramps McCain is a sad remnant of the power these corrupt assholes once held.

Tom Delay used to speak of how he would make the Democratic party "irrelevant". I laugh at how his party's own greed, corruption and arrogance has done to the Gay Old Party what he could not do to the Democrats.

Rush Limbaugh is a drug addict.

According to MSNBC exit polling last night, 11% of the vote in the Indiana Democratic primary came from GOP cross-overs.

Current vote total is:

Clinton: 638,274
Obama: 615,865
Total: 1,254,136

Eleven percent of the total (GOP cross-overs) is 137,934.

Same exit polls indicate that among GOP cross-overs 52% (71,725) voted for Clinton. That's more than three times her margin of victory (22,412).

"Rush Limbaugh is a drug addict."

hillarious

Rush Limbaugh is a drug addict.

I love that you add that in every rush thread. Fucking great.

According to Rush, Bill Clinton hit on his date at some event a year or so ago. ;-)

Limbaugh is such an attention whore. Maybe he should spend a little less time drumming up attention for himself, and more helping his party untie themselves from the train tracks before November.

Rush is an attention whore...
Yeah, he's the one that gets the leftwing pantpissing bloggers to discuss him non stop. He also convinces the MSM to continually cover his every move. He also managed to get Barry Hussien to use him in his talking points memo to help explain away his defeat.

That Rush Limbaugh! Why, he's almost as powerful and cunning as that evil Bush!

They both manage to spin you bitches like tops.

Why is it you lefties seem to be the only ones paying attention to what Rush says and does? The only reason half the righties here know what Rush is up to is because you queers can't stop telling everyone what he's doing.

Damn it!

Chair beat me to it.

I will say this:

The fact that Rush is SO univerally hated by all liberals is reason enough to like the guy.

Why is it you lefties seem to be the only ones paying attention to what Rush says and does?

So lefty republicans crossed over to vote for hillary in Indiana?

Curious...

The guy is the #1 in radio. Pretending that the left are the only ones paying attention to him is fucking delusional.

Sad.

He's "hated" because he's a hypocritical piece of lying bigoted trash.

And his "dittoheads" are even worse.

Besides Oorah and BLT, you never see a righty here discussing Limbaugh. The lefties know every time the guy farts. You're infatuated by him and he owns you guys.

If I want to know what Rush is up to I'll read the retort.

Alex,


Rush IS a turd.

No argument from me about that.


However, he's occasionally funny and occasionally insightful - yes, I just said that.

Personally, I dislike him because he personifies the 'us vs them' aspect of politics.

All of that said, that so many liberals are SO fixated with him brings me great amusement - so I end up kinda liking the guy.

Damn Chair,
What a defense. Are you and Rush dating now?

Walter Jones Jr was running opposed in NC yesterday. I had to vote on a Republican ballot in order to support him. Otherwise I would have voted for the witch. I think as long as either McCane or Clinton wins Rush wins. He already said if there is going to be a Lib in the white house screwing up the country he didn't want it to be a Lib Republican. The only way he looses is if Obama wins.

And his "dittoheads" are even worse.


The term "dittohead" says all I need to know about the tools on the right that listen to that fool.

Stirs,
Am I misunderstanding you here? You cast a vote to support Rush?

The term "dittohead" says all I need to know about the tools on the right that listen to that fool.

20 million listeners per week and his audience has the second highest level of education of all media outlet participants.

At this point in time, IMO All the canadates are going in the wrong direction. I think Rush feels the same way. If you can't have what you want you can at least make the other bastard work hard to get what he wants.

Wow, we have an entertainer (radio personality) who tells people what to do...AND THEY DO IT! Who'da thunk it? Maybe I need to listen closer to Letterman...he might be telling me who to vote for in his top 10.

I think the message got a bit screwed- up 25% of NC and 20% of Indiana Republicans voted against their nominee. Or maybe the GOP is just screwed with McBush.

Actually, I expect Rush's message will encourage the Dems at the Convention to question Hillary's support, should it get that far.

They both manage to spin you bitches like tops.

You're living in fantasyland, Chair. Limbaugh made a fool of himself before the 2006 Congressional elections and then spent the entire day after the vote trying to deflect blame from himself for the devastating GOP losses. He's doing the same this time around, and even better, it's for a GOP nominee he doesn't even believe in.

Limbaugh's an entertainer, and deserves props for that. But as a political force, he's an empty bag of wind.

Obama's talking points says otherwise.

Now what? Are you going to be forced to actually disagree with Obama or are you going to retract your statement?

Since when do I agree with everything that comes out of Obama's camp? I disagree with the Obama campaign droid who issued the statement that Limbaugh mattered in Indiana.

Rush is a media icon. No one has changed radio as much as Rush.

I find it amusing that his target audience are the blue people who becoming blue in their face yelling at the radio and calling him a drug addict. Rush is laughing all the way to the bank. He loves infuriating those blue people

Icon? No shit...you really mean that?

"That Rush Limbaugh! Why, he's almost as powerful and cunning as that evil Bush! "

Probably more so, bogus paratrooper. He IS, however, a drug addict, which matters more to righties DR than to me. He is a Hindenburg (a Nazi gas bag), he is an unprincipled UGly with a capital UGh and luckily failed to mess up the democratic (lower case D) process. herm

I do nor know that 'Operation Chaos' is effective, but I do think it's a 'HOOT'.

"No one has changed radio as much as Rush."

Um, no. Howard Stern.

"20 million listeners per week and his audience has the second highest level of education of all media outlet participants."

Link me, stinky.

hermaphrodite,
Jealousy is a stinky cologne. Look, the world needs paratroopers (me) and washout pussies (you).

You made your choice, now you have to live with it (but not for much longer).

"Jealousy is a stinky cologne." I often have trouble following the ersatz flying soldier, but this is a bit more obscure than most. What am I supposed to be jealous of? What choice? And why do I have to live with it? Give me some of that rigid Pentagon "logic." herm

"I have to offer a Keith-style' Special Comment on that. Anyone who voted to screw up the political system of this country with the purpose of mischief should carry that with them the rest of their lives. What a ridiculous way to use the vote for which people fought and died -- to use that vote to make mischief. I hope you're proud of yourself."



-Chris Matthews.

Chris Mathews, sure.
Thanks for yet another illustration of how far his head is up his ass.

If I want HIllary and obama to continue to slug it out for ANY reason, let alone because I prefer a different candidate, that is my right as a voter. they allowed repubs in to vote, did they not? Matthews the sociopath wants to pontificate and say this is mischief????

nice going asswipe. he is just upset he might not have anybody to tingle for come November. what a complete ass. I like the props he gives, too, to the child molester olberman.

funny shit man. Thanks for pointing out what an ashole matthews is, alexandrite. good show.

Um, no. Howard Stern.

yeah, there sure is a BIG void in commercial radio now that he finally got out of the business.

pssssst! , actually nobody cares

I knew some idiot would try to compare Howard Stern to Rush. Rush has the power to affect people's opinions. Howard Stern is a mildly amusing comedian that no one takes seriously. I can't say I miss listening to Howard Stern in the morning nor do most Americans. If that was the case Serius would actually be making money

"ha ha. you poor stupid bastard.

Howard Stern audience: 25 year old males , income level 35-40K per year, stripper clientele.

ha ha. you poor stupid bastard.

Rush Limbaugh audience: 50 year old rednecks, income level $7.45/hour, live in trailer parks, and of the few who can afford going to strip joint, most have been 86'd.

Montecore. It sounds like you are speaking from personal experience. Do you live in a double-wide.

Just because you can afford a strip joint doesn't mean you should go. I got better thing to do with my money that subsidize a strippers cocaine habit. I prefer to give my money to Hillary so she can expose Osama Obam as the racist he is

FREDO IS THE MAGNET OF MONTECORE.

I make a comment....montecore swoops in and jerks off all over the place.

thanque you, Monte

Bullshit TIMBCI, everyone knows you spend your entire social security check on Teen Boy magazines. Like anyone here would believe you are a political donor to any causes.

Fredo - even someone as fucking retared as you can do better than that. Just stop and think a little bit before you try to post a retort. Your knee-jerk reactions are pathetic.

"Wow, we have an entertainer (radio personality) who tells people what to do...AND THEY DO IT!"

What does that say about them???
Pretty much what I always thought about Limbaugh listeners, stupid sheep obeying their shepherd.
Baaah Baah.
And it must be kind of disappointing to Rush and his sheep to see that Obama nearly beat Hillary even with her earlier big lead and Rush's operation Chaos too. Sort of either makes Hillary look really bad compared to Obama or Limbaugh just impotent.
I do wonder what the percentages would have been without Limbaugh, I think probably about the same as they were anyway.

Why is it you lefties seem to be the only ones paying attention to what Rush says and does? The only reason half the righties here know what Rush is up to is because you queers can't stop telling everyone what he's doing.

Let me see if I can put this in simple terms so you can understand it there Chairpoodle...

When your neighbor let's his dog shit on your lawn and laughs about in your face does it piss you off?

Do you say anything or are you a pussy and slink back to your mom's basement computer to blog away your frustrations at "lefties (whatever the hell they are)?

Rush Limbaugh (the Drug Addict) is Shitting on the Democratic process and laughing about it our faces...and we don't like it.

And we are not pussies like you so we are going to say something about it.

ok, buttmunch?...get it?

Good!

Now get over it.

hey Monte, you continually start following me around DR every night at about 5pm EST, is that

a. when you punch in for the night shift?
or
b. when the "open hours" at your high school library PC stations starts.

"Rush has the power to affect people's opinions."

"Monte,
My associates from Portland led me to believe that Eugene was populated by boorish snobby people that think they are rich. The one person I met from Eugene fit that bill to a tee so I had no reason to formulate a different opinion. Plano is populated by boorish snobby people that think they are rich; this the comparison. Now if I was misinformed about Eugene I am certainly willing to reassess. However your demeanor leaves me disinclined to think that Eugene is anything less than what I originally thought.

Reality check----Rush Limbaugh IS a drug addict, isn't he?

"Rush Limbaugh is a radio icon...."

The first deaf one, in fact, for some period of time.

You know, he was going to let his doctors OPERATE on his condition before it came out it was only the effects of Hill Billy Heroin.

Zed,


Reality check----Rush Limbaugh IS a drug addict, isn't he?


Yes, he is. And to his credit, his own problems with addiction have caused him to modify his stance toward other addicts.

I guess I'm not as fascinated with Rush as I was told earlier. I hadn't heard.

How has he modified his thinking regarding addiction?

Ted,

How has he modified his thinking regarding addiction?


He used to abjectly condemn anyone with a drug addiction.

He doesn't do that anymore.


Do you remember that story about a year ago about one of the younger Kennedy's getting into a DUI accident?

Well, Rush touched on it, he was very low-key and his overall point was one of compassion - the boy has a clear problem and hopefully het gets help - this isn't a laughing matter.


Rush deserves much of the criticism he receives and his change of viewpoint has been labeled as 'hypocrisy'. On this issue, I see it as a personal, life experience causing him to change his viewpoint.

On this issue, I see it as a personal, life experience causing him to change his viewpoint.

I can appreciate that.

The only states close enough to be affected by cross over spoilers have been Missouri and Indiana. I don't think it was a major factor in any of the primaries, though it does seem that in Indiana it may have padded a slender lead.

It may also have swayed some blue collar Dems who probably listen to talk radio and take on the bias that exists in that forum, and then there's those emails out there claiming Obama is a secret Muslim.

Rumors, misinformation, and opinion that borders on ludacris. Naturally there's always a shred of truth or fact, and then comes the "analysis" and - frankly - propaganda.

Obama can negate those losses. Even Rev WrightisWright can be commended for his appropriate use of scripture, but then he turn clowned and smart ass.

A lot of these evangelistic types who build these large and/or wealthy churches find themselves in hot water. They forget their station in the church. Realistically they can't tend a flock that size, but it's more money in the till and naturally more power in the community.

So Obama got drawn in, and I'm pretty sure Michelle opened the door. He didn't get involved until they got engaged. Nutty as he is, WrightisWright makes a convincing use of scripture and morality to rail against tyranny and oppression. Easy to see how that would appeal to Obama.

I'll bet that if he were to speak about his conversion to Christianity - however flawed his pastor - he could appeal to a lot of folks who have joined evangelical churches. He really has a chance to cut into every demographic, and rack up near 60% of the vote.

Yes, he is. And to his credit, his own problems with addiction have caused him to modify his stance toward other addicts.

perhaps if he were a black man in america he could change that stance or a pregnant teenage girl and he would change again

flippity flopity i suppose is the terminology

oh yeah


Rush Limbaugh is a drug addict.

making him a hypocrite


Rush is a hypocrite on a variety of fronts. However, I don't think he's being hypocritical here. A personal, life-experience not only humbled him, but caused him to change his viewpoint toward addiction.

Don't for a second try and tell me that your personal views have been cemented since infancy. We all change our own personal views at some point or another due to a life-changing event.

Jeff J

You miss the point again, even after two posts point out the flaw.

Let me make it even easier. If Rush was wrong about his treatment of drug addicts, and realized this only after he became a drug addict and found compassion for their plight, maybe he was wrong about other positions he attacks, but will never know because he will never be in that position---like abortion.

Rush had no mercy for drug addicts until he became one. Then he understaood the problem

Maybe if he was pregnant, then he would understand the problem.

Maybe if he were black he would understand the problem.

Maybe if his HMO turned him down for medical service he would understand the problem.

Maybe if he lost his job to NAFTA, he would understand the problem.

It seems Rush only understands the problem when the problem is his. If the problem is someone elses, Rush doesn't understand and attacks.

Bob I didn't know it was a problem being black unless you like to pretend you are a victim and put your hand out.

I don't have an HMO. I got real healthcare.

If you lost your job to NAFTA it wasn't a real job.

"I got real healthcare...."

Yes, but does your plan cover mental health issues?

Rush has proclaimed on a regular basis that "conservatives do not compromise their principles". He used that as an argument when McCain received the Repub nomination. Now, he uses his forum to try and have the weakest Dem candidate nominated thereby insuring that McCain will win the general election. So, he has either been convinced that McCain is a good conservative or he is compromising his conservative principles.

Zed actually my plan covers mental health treatment as well as plastic surgery

you need to try a new plan...or get a second opinion.

Doubtful he'll develop a compassion for Parkinson's sufferers.
