Honestly. How stupid do you have to be to listen to Limbaugh?
I just read an article where he criticizes Michelle Obama's weight loss initiative. You'd think he'd approve, given his recent weight loss, but no. He talks about her not looking like a swimsuit model. Who gives a damn about that? There are literally millions of women who look damn fine who aren't that skinny. And, of course, he isn't bright enough to know that the First Lady's initiative is about health, not appearances. Oh, well. I suppose that Rush isn't in favor of any weight loss program that doesn't involve, um, pharmaceuticals. This just goes to show you that Rush Limbaugh may only be a part-time lard ass, but he's a full-time dumb ass.

1. Answer to Q....In some ways it doesn't matter; you'll end up stupid anyway after a few minutes
of listening to that brain cell-killing drivel.

4. It takes a myriad of pharmaceuticals. Unfortunately, Americans are on a myriad of pharmaceuticals.
But that's just my opinion. I just happen to be a Dr. :hi:

7. It's Obama Derangement Syndrome
If it comes out of the White House, it must be opposed. Good nutrition? Healthier eating? Oh hell to the no, bitches! Even encouraging breast feeding is somehow beyond the pale for right-wingers suffering from ODS.

8. Ask a howling dog with acid poured on his leg
what his position truly is. Limbaugh's handlers pour acid on his leg every day, and he howls for them. He howls on cue because that is what he is trained to do.

The difference, is Limbaugh is paid very well to pour the acid on his listeners in turn, and they haven't gotten it.

Make no mistake, when he goes, someone else will take the acid pouring place, until we the people educate enough of those around us against the hate. That is all that stops it from catching fire. We, as a collective, have to stop giving him attention, no matter what outrageous things he says. Only then does he lose power.

10. Ironically, the demise of unions has probably boosted Limbaugh's audience
No wonder he hates 'em.

Unions provide some sense of power as well as a feeling of belonging.

Seems to me that there are a lot of angry middle-aged white guys out there who are feeling powerless and alienated. They know they're getting screwed just like everyone else, and they're wondering why and whom to blame.

Limpballs provides a voice for their anger and alienation and with it a sense of belonging and power they might've had in a union. More importantly, he offers up a number of scapegoats that distract these angry listeners from the real culprits.

12. Rush been attacking unions for twenty years
which is odd, when you see Union people listening to the gasbag, and I mean LISTENING. Perhaps this little attack will actually drop his viewership

14. Indeed. And private sector union membership has plummeted during that time
Flushed with that success, Rush and his cronies have been aiming for the public sector.
(I can always tell what Limbaugh is up to because I have an acquaintance who epitomizes the notion of the Dittohead.)

But they may have over-reached this time.

We can only hope.

As for union people who are Rush devotees, I'd call that the "What's the Matter with Kansas?" syndrome. Get 'em riled up with hot-button social issues, and while they're distracted, screw them over economically.

16. Well to be honest the dems have not been
too good about this either. So neither party is truly standing with them.

That said, at the STATE level we are gonna have a few rising stars.

17. Yes. I agree with you on that.

The Democratic Party has taken its base for granted for too long.

The threat of "Vote for us or you'll get President Palin" is no way to inspire the nation.

20. "For every problem there is a solution that is simple, obvious... and wrong"
If you can't move beyond the word "obvious" in the above quote, you're dumb enough to listen to Limbaugh.
