Rush Limbaugh: "I never called Obama a Nazi"
“Who has called him a Nazi? Who do we know that has called him a Nazi? Socialist? Yeah. Stalinist? Yeah. Marxist? Yeah. Nazi? We have compared healthcare in America to what the Nazis tried to do in Germany and get the control of the people going in that regard.”
- Rush

"Adolf Hitler, like Barack Obama, also ruled by dictate"
- Rush
http://mediamatters.org/mmtv/200908060021

"Obama's flag@WhiteHouse.gov is like Hitler's "youth movement""
- Rush
http://mediamatters.org/mmtv/200908100022

"(There are) similarities between the Democrat Party of today and the Nazi Party in Germany"
- Rush
http://mediamatters.org/mmtv/200908060023

Oh, come on. You guys are sooo cute when you're running around calling Obama a socialist, a communist, Nazi, a fascist, a Muslim, the Super-Antichrist, a supervillain, etc. Don't take the fun out of it now.

2. Rush, will you finally do what you promised?
And get that fat ass of yours on an airplane for Costa Rica? You promised us you would leave - well we are waiting.

5. It's amazing that he gets away with "I never called him a nazi, because I never
actually said 'Obama is a Nazi.'"

or other variations which he'd use as "evidence". Go through all the stuff he's said, and pick out a phrase which he never said, verbatim.

Of course, the "liberal media" allowed the propaganda that a Democrat called the military "Nazis" because he said, of the revelations of torture being used, that it was something which would have been seen in 1930s Germany.

9. he gets away with "i'm going to Costa Rica", and then not going
because he parses his words - always treading the legal side of deniability.

like Hannity calling his audience "Tim McVeigh Wannabees" and then claiming context - it was HUMOR parodizing the paranoid center-left's horrid internet screeds. uh-huh.

he said he would go to CR for MEDICAL CARE if HCR passed. apparently he doesn't need any yet.

16. actually, there were apologists parsing Rush's words ... saying "No, he never said
he would go to Costa Rica" ... but a clear listen to the tape said exactly that ... not the "I would go to Costa Rica for my health care" apology which the denier was trying to spin Rush's words into ...

12. So if someone said, "I'm going to put a bullet in Rush's head" it would be OK because ...
they could claim that all they really meant was that they were going to sneak up on him when he was in a drug-induced stupor and gently slip a .22 round into his ear canal.

17. Rush carefully choosing his words.
Edited on Tue Apr-06-10 09:10 PM by walldude
He's not lying. He never actually called Obama a Nazi. He called him "Nazi like" "Similar to" but never uttered the words Obama is a Nazi. Language is Rush boys speciality, he knows just what words to use, just how far to go without crossing the line and most importantly he knows exactly how stupid his audience is and which phrases to use so they will get his point, while giving him deniability. Really he should be working for The Catholic Church or the Military.

18. And John McCain now says he never considered himself a maverick.
They lie without blinking, because even though it's all on video and audio, they know that the MSM will never report it and the American people will never pay attention to it anyway.

19. Whew boy.... yep, "I am not a crook..."


Julie Nixon: Did you, Daddy? Did you cover it up?
Richard M. Nixon: Do you think I would do something like that, honey?


next, I expect he'll deny ever using Viagra on his trip to the Dominican Republic...

27. Limbaugh and History
People who spend their entire lives spreading nothing but hate and resentment tend to die alone, with very few mourners. They are eventually no more than footnotes in the memories of those who knew them. I predict that Rush Limbaugh will become the Theodore Bilbo of talk radio, minus the improvised coat rack.
