Wow. Keith just now called Rush a ". . . hole" for his comments on Elizabeth Edwards.

[Faygo Kid]

Somebody post the link when it is available. Please. He just took out Rush Limbaugh even better than he has ever ripped O'Reilly.

About damned time. Screw this "it's just Rush" BS. Keith said what needed to be said.

And we need to keep saying it. It's NOT OK. It's NOT just "good ol' Rush."

It is hate and smears of the worst kind, and it has gone on too long without response.

I'm the same age as Rush, and I can't believe that sniveling, cowardly bully gets away with this sh*t, and it's dismissed too often.

[tekisui]

1. 3 hours of hate speech a day.

Yesterday, though, I heard a Progressive call his show and give limpballs a good ass smacking.

[TheCowsCameHome]

10. He's gotten his ass kicked the last few days

by plunging head-first into this Georgia mess without a clue about what's going on. Callers have been making him look like a monkey.

[tekisui]

13. He only knows how to spew shit.

He is so predictable. The caller I heard was raking him across the coals for focusing on what Obama said(which was right) about the war rather than what chimpy had done to allow it to escalate.

Limpballs was stumbling and diverting at every point.

[TheCowsCameHome]

21. Notice how he cuts to a break when he's getting his ass handed to him?

I agree, he can't take it.

He is absolutely helpless, stammering and stuttering like Porky Pig when when a caller stands up to him.

[Faygo Kid]

22. He is a coward. He never, ever appears where anyone might disagree with him. Russert enabled.

Hell, even Hannity takes that risk. Rush doesn't. He may be the greatest physical and emotional coward in media history.

One reason I was never a Tim Russert fan was that he was Butt Boy's chosen "interviewer." I guess he did two "in depth" interviews with Rush. I watched one, all the way through. Russert asked the pontificating butt boil his opinions on issues, but never challenged him. Not once. Just gave him an open forum.

Same thing with Katie Couric her very FIRST WEEK as CBS News anchor. Gave Limbaugh unfettered and unchallenged air time.

The only time this guy had human beings in the same room with him - at ESPN, a few years ago - he ended up fired for racist comments.

Keith was great tonight. Just great. The hell with O'Lielly. Today he stripped down the hateful piece of shit that is Rush Limbaugh, and he did it beautifully.

Rush's response? Cowardice, I predict. About time somebody took him on.

[Berry Cool]

24. I LOVED how one of the weapons Keith used to rub salt in the wound

was Rush's firing from ESPN. He took that and rubbed it in good.

He knew, absolutely KNEW, that nothing would burn Rush's bacon worse than having ex-ESPN SportsCenter man and current NBC Football Night in America man ridiculing him for not being able to keep his football commentary job with ESPN.

[Faygo Kid]

25. Do you think this could mean that Keith is going to now take on Rush? O'Reilly is small potatoes.

Compared to His Loathesomeness, Jabba the Hate for the last 20 years.

I don't think Rush could handle a sustained barrage; he is a much bigger coward than even O'Lielly.

Time to go to work, Keith.

[eridani]

34. That's actually surprising, because he is so heavliy protected by screeners

Maybe people are learning to lie to get past them, or maybe the number of callers has dropped off enough so that he has to listen to a few libruls or not have many callers at all.

[TheCowsCameHome]

2. Rush is pure scum.

He has grown into a monster, fueled largely by his own poison.

I wish him nothing but misery and pain.

[DevonRex]

3. Good for Keith. And Rush is an asshole, no doubt about it. nt

[Faygo Kid]

11. No, he said Rush is a (pause) hole. As far as he could go. The rest was like a Special Comment.

I wish he had made it a Special Comment. It was close to that, though, and incredibly powerful.

I have never heard anyone call Rush out like that on a national show. Never.

[DevonRex]

14. Yeah. It was a fill-in-the blank hole. Loved it. I also loved it when

he ended the first segment by saying it looks like Obama's VP pick will be (cut to commercial immediately).

I'm enjoying all this so very much. :)

[TomInTib]

4. Did he really say "asshole"? nt

[zeemike]

5. Amen to that brother

We have put up with that shit too long.

[alphafemale]

6. I may not have believed Rush had actually said that if I hadn't seen that clip.

That was beyond wretched even for Rush.

:mad:

[Gabi Hayes]

23. was that not one of the creepiest things you've ever seen? he was lathering himself up

for the big moment, maybe trying to figure out the closest thing he could say to blowjob without losing his license

I got the distinct feeling that he was about to have a little party in his pants

made me think of an even fatter Son of Sam

that needs to be seen to be believed

[alphafemale]

27. It was awful.

really awful.

[DinahMoeHum]

7. Did KO really say "asshole" or was it "A-hole"??

Inquiring minds want to know.

:evilgrin:

[Faygo Kid]

A-hole. But the rest was even better.

It was the best commentary ever on Rush. Ever.

[Peacetrain]

8. Limbaugh and his ilk are the reason we have been

saddled with bush and company for 7 years.

[liberalmuse]

9. Limbaugh is a treasonous hatemonger.

His comments about Elizabeth Edwards were absolutely vile.

[Faygo Kid]

18. Agreed. And he gets away with it because "it's just Rush."

And we are not supposed to pay attention here at DU.

Well, I for one am sick and tired of that attitude. Rush Limbaugh is the biggest hater in America, and it's time he accepted responsibility for his remarks.

And his sponsors, too.

[proud2BlibKansan]

12. What did Rush say about Elizabeth Edwards?

Context please. Thank you :)

[Faygo Kid]

15. "Edwards might be attracted to a woman whose mouth did something other than talk"

That wasn't all he had to say.

Another good DU thread here: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x3786352

[endthewar]

16. Pretty much said

that perhaps Edwards was attracted to a woman who didn't talk so much. The quote: "Edwards might be attracted to a woman whose mouth did something other than talk"

http://mediamatters.org/items/200808120009

[saracat]

17. I googled it. He siad that Edwards would be attracted to a woman who could do more with her mouth

than just "talk". He said if Elizabeth Edwards was as smart as folks say that John probally was tired of her talking.It was actually much more vile.

[Kire]

31. he said this within an hour or so of the Arkansas Dem state chair getting shot

The news was breaking, and I wanted to see how long it would take for someone to write talking points for him.

After about an hour and a half, I had to go to work.

Otherwise, I don't really listen to him.

[RamboLiberal]

33. Here's what the A Hole Said

“I’ve got a theory about the motivations. Well, I don’t know that I could — I don’t know that I can put this one on the air…We know — we’ve been told that Elizabeth Edwards is smarter than John Edwards. That’s part of the puff pieces on them that we’ve seen. Ergo, if Elizabeth Edwards is smarter than John Edwards, is it likely that she thinks she knows better than he does what his speeches ought to contain and what kind of things he ought to be doing strategy-wise in the campaign?

If she is smarter than he is, could it have been her decision to keep going with the campaign? In other words, could it be that she doesn’t shut up? Now, that’s as far as I’m going to go…

It just seems to me that Edwards might be attracted to a woman whose mouth did something other than talk…

My theory that I just explained to you about why — you know, what could have John Edwards’ motivations been to have the affair with Rielle Hunter, given his wife is smarter than he is and probably nagging him a lot about doing this, and he found somebody that did something with her mouth other than talk.”

[DangerousRhythm]

35. Wow, that's just vile.

What a scumbag. I can't watch to catch my Countdown podcast tonight!

[JohnnyLib2]

19. Good for KO.

Really can't think of a better term for that guy.

[Pisces]

20. Rush is a paid pig!!

[creeksneakers2]

26. I hate Rush

I hate even more how he's allowed to get away with all he does and nobody in the mainstream media ever says a word about it.

[peaches2003]

28. Yet not a word that I have heard about it

on any other tv show except KO and Dan Abrams where he showed the clip.

Where is the right wing who would be screaming about it if anyone other than Rush said this?

[TheCowsCameHome]

29. Wait 'til tomorrow. Rush will be bawling his eyes out at 12:05 eastern

While hiding in his shit-filled bunker.

[tridim]

30. Rush is in a prime position for a great fall

and I think KO knows that. :)

[Riddler]

32. The only hole I want to hear about in talking about Limpballs is the hole this disgusting

pile of pig shit is buried in, and not a damn minute too soon.

[IDemo]

36. It's about time to move away from the nightly Billo bash, Keith

There are uglier fish to fry.
