Sometimes I actually feel sorry for Rush Limbaugh.
Today he said that the economic meltdown is ENTIRELY the Democrat's fault, and that NOT ONE SINGLE REPUBLICAN, past or present, bears even a shred of responsibility. He finished by chastising conservative news outlets and pundits for failing to adopt that view.

Think about it folks, the boy has been dealt a pretty rough hand. It can't be pleasant going through life fat, ugly, impotent, and now stone fucking crazy.

2. Once again, Limbaugh is calling for his listeners to check their brains at the door
and repeat after him that "nothing is republicans' fault".

they only believe in personal accountability for OTHER people.. never for themselves.

AWOL Bush was handed a SURPLUS and the majority in both houses and he fucked up our economy and the repukes cheered him all the way along. they pushed our country off a cliff just because they could.

repukes cannot handle power or money. they are like children in a candy store.. now they have a big belly ache and they want to blame everyone else in the room but them.

4. Wow that's going out there on a major limb with that comment....
you're assuming his listeners have brains to begin with.

6. And most of them are only too happy to do so and let Rush do their thinking for them.
It's much easier to spout talking points than it is to study an issue and make up your own mind in an intelligent and rational fashion.

7. Yeah, money
He's not paid to do nuance. He's paid to persuade people at the bottom of the heap to vote resolutely for the party that's dedicated to keeping them at the bottom of the heap (to paraphrase Johnny Speight's description of his creation Alf Garnett, the BBC sitcom character who formed the template for Archie Bunker).

12. It's a good thing he's "not paid to do nuance."
He'd be really bad at it, because he is one of the people at the bottom of the heap - except for all that money. AND the pills.

16. Like hell he is
A child of privilege masquerading as a man of the people. Just like Bush, in fact.

17. He's a stupid drug-addicted creep.
He might as well do crystal meth, like many of his dittoes.

9. A new $400 million contract pretty much makes up for
most of that.....in his mind anyway.

14. in my experience, Republicans don't check facts
so he sadly has nothing to worry about with statements like this, and even more sadly, we do as voters because we encounter the folks who vote using his misinformation all the time.

18. Yesterday I heard him say the meltdown could be blamed on "White Guilt."
So everytime I start to feel sorry for him, he reminds me again that he is a filthy pig living in a big mansion, getting rich off stupidity, and then I don't feel sorry anymore.

20. What compassion did he show for you...
...while you EARNED the name "11 Bravo"??? I had a pilonidal cyst but had it AFTER I did my service time and it cost me 24 hours in the hospital and 3 days out of work. Of course I had no choice-mine had to go, I had a family to support. He choose to be inelligible for the draft and clung to his "sickness" that kept him from "serving this Great Nation". What has NEVER been asked is was the cyst EVER removed-I can tell you they are unpleasant and painful-but not as unpleasant and painful as the opportunity to get shot. If he retained his cyst all these years after it protected his pasty ass crack from danger, I will personally volunteer to kiss it (EEEwwww)...But I guarantee that operation coincided with the lift-off of helicopters from the roof of our Saigon embassy. He don't need good people like you sweating his suffering.

He's been a pimple on the ass of America for way too long.

Edited on Tue Sep-30-08 07:34 PM by martymar64
Things will never change in this country unless it's at gunpoint. You may disagree but in your heart you know I'm right.
If you wish to continue to listen to him spew his filth, then go right ahead. He is a vile propagandist, no better than Joseph Goebbels. Goebbels deserved to die too, as does Limbaugh.
Besides, it'll send a message to the other propagandists that their words have consequences. They need a good dose of fear to put them back on the right path.

So spare me that hippie love and forgiveness shit, it's gone too far for that.

24. Limbaugh is the one who has been pushing a Palin candidacy for months
It warms the cockles of my heart to see his darling go down in flames.
