This afternoon, Limbaugh claimed that the National Weather Service has said that ...

there is zero chance of precipitation in Charlotte today. He went on to splutter, "Not 10 percent, not 5 percent, but ZERO percent!"
Well, you limp-dicked, lying, pedophile, junkie ... turn on your fucking television. Even the clowns at FauxNews have been forced to acknowledge that it is pouring down rain in Charlotte at this very moment, and that there are thunderstorms in the vicinity.
Consume feces and expire, you corpulent collection of crap.

on edit: possibly the most screwed up syntax in history

[bulloney]

1. I was listening to Hannity saying as much this afternoon.

It really makes you wonder about the cognitive skills of Republicans. The rain can literally smack them in the face and they'll still argue that it's sunny and dry.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

3. and the saddest thing is

that their listeners won't bother checking it out for themselves.........

[Gold Metal Flake]

12. Including the wet ones in Charlotte.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

13. Sadly, yes, even them

[CrispyQ]

97. ~lol.

In a sad sort of way.

[SaveAmerica]

100. It's not raining where I am!! Duuuuuh! The radar map at that time had the worst storm and rain

exactly over Charlotte and we saw a big mess that would be coming in from the south soon after. But sure enough I saw comments that it wasn't raining in Charlotte cause 'it's not raining where I am!!'

[1StrongBlackMan]

110. It must not have rained in Charlotte ...

because it didn't rain here in Tucson, either!

[SaveAmerica]

112. It's dry o'clock somewhere!!

[sa2968]

33. It's hard for the Repubs to see the rain with their heads shoved up their ass...

[Trajan]

36. Yo ...

you owe me a cup of coffee ....

[GreenPartyVoter]

93. Very true!

[Javaman]

4. maybe hannity can go play out in the lightening and tell us how sunny it is. LOL nt

[11 Bravo]

21. I'll lend him an old two iron to wave over his head!

[Ikonoklast]

51. As long as it isn't a nine iron.

Even God can't hit a nine iron.

[11 Bravo]

54. Shit, I can stripe the 9. It's the 1 iron that NOBODY can hit. (At least according to Lee Trevino.)

[kardonb]

45. gen. disc.

cognitive skills ? You've got to be kidding ! Demented lies and pathological hatred is their modus operandi .

[obxhead]

58. In their case I would be in denial too.

It's a sad day when you realize the rain hitting you is actually your idol pissing in your face and telling you how great it is.

[malaise]

2. He's been caught lying again

What a surprise...NOT!

[deutsey]

5. Reality doesn't matter to him or to those who take him seriously

I bet if you encounter any Dittoheads in the next few days, they'll insist that it didn't rain and that the Dems weren't able to fill the stadium.

[young_at_heart]

6. Just checked the radar

I live in Asheville and check it everyday for showers here----a quick jump away is Charlotte and it looks pretty nasty there!

[flakey_foont]

38. am outside Chapel Hill

looking at WRAL -5 Doppler rain over most of the state

[Autumn]

7. Well, shit

limp-dicked, lying, pedophile, junkie ... you forgot feces eating, pond scum sucking, anal cyst infested pig . It's rush limpballs. what else did you expect? However, I really like your ending.

[mnhtnbb]

8. Slimebaugh's an idiot. Maybe he should check The Weather Channel.

[obxhead]

60. You would think he would stray from TWC

They are owned by Bain Capital since 2011.

[AlbertCat]

96. They are owned by Bain Capital since 2011.

No wonder they suck so bad.

Go to check the forecast and all the weather will have passed before they stop telling tornado stories to give you a forecast.

[Blue Idaho]

9. Isn't that about the same chance

of Rush presenting unbiased factual information?

Curious...

[nanabugg]

10. It's sad but Rish's followers in NC won't even look out the window if Rush tells them it

's sunny. nt

[unc70]

20. Loud thunder should give even them a clue

Storms look worse here in Chapel Hill than Charlotte. But it is really rocking and rolling here. Lots of thunder. Hard to ignore.

[liberalmuse]

11. So what if it's true that Obama can't draw a crowd...

20 times the size of Romney? He can still draw one that is 10 times the size. These buffoons...

[liberalmuse]

16. I should say it isn't true, but...

their candidate can't even draw a portion of the crowds our President does. Oh, and Rush is a lying piece of shit, so anything he says means the opposite is true.

[Jamaal510]

75. Even Ron Paul drew bigger crowds than Romney did.

The guy only got 1200 people to show up in a 65K capacity football stadium. Who are they to talk?

[lpbk2713]

14. THIS National Weather Service says OxyRush is a lying sack of shit ---->

Chance of precip is 50% through this afternoon and 30% for this evening.


It's getting to where you can't tell Limbaugh and Lyin' Ryan apart any more.

[maxrandb]

30. In Rush land, if a weather report doesn't come from Dinesh D'Souza

then it's just "liberal bias".

Look, even "effing" God has a "liberal bias". God made it rain and storm in Charlotte, even though ALL reports heard on the Limpball Weather channel said zero percent chance of rain.

Can't wait for the Faux Snooze screenshot of a sunny beach in the Cayman Islands with the ticker displaying "Obama's speech moved indoors due to weather?"

Fuck man!!!! How the fucking crazy do you have to be to get worked into a lather about piddly ass shit about moving a speech because of weather? How completely devoid of anything but hate and contempt do you have to be that this is the kind of shit that keeps you up at night? How fucking desperate does a party have to be that it matters like it's fucking D-Day, whether the President speaks indoors to 25K people, or outdoors to a crowd of 50K????

THIS IS ALL THEY'VE FUCKING GOT????

We've already wasted enough prescious time and data bits down the "intertubes" on meaningless claptrap like this!

This is what has become of the Republican Party and the Tea-baggers...they not only are "polishing a turd"...they're now trying to convince themselves they can "pick it up by the clean end"!

What a waste of fucking time, energy, common sense and common decency!

[left on green only]

39. A lot of people don't have much food on their tables........

but they've got a lot of forks...and knives.....and they gotta cut something.

Take solace in knowing just how poor they really are.

[classof56]

65. That line sounds so familiar, like maybe it's from Bob Dylan's Talkin' New York Blues?

Been a long time since I listened to that album, but I could swear...anyway, true words no matter the source!

[left on green only]

85. Right you are! Was it bad of me to have not given him credit?

I grew up on all of Dylan's early music (much to the chagrin of my right wing, redneck, neofascist, nazi parents living in Orange County) and at least at one point I was able to recite every one of his lyrics, forwards and backwards. Today I, perhaps without justification, assume that every one else did the same thing as well; or at least I do whenever I write on a forum such as this.

It's funny how when we cannot see anyone's face, what things it is easy to naturally assume about them.

[classof56]

113. Thanks for confirming my memory, and no, not bad of you to not give Bob credit.

I was one of his early fans, have many of his albums, including very first one, but don't listen to them these days. His music isn't on YouTube, or I haven't found it there, but like you, I do know many of his lyrics by heart. What an amazing songwriter. Glad you discovered him when you were young. Good for you for sharing his words with others who, if they don't know them, I hope will be inspired to check them out. I was lucky to see him perform in Denver, then in Seattle with Joan Baez. IMHO, Bob's a national treasure.

Blessings.

OBAMA/BIDEN 2012

[ThoughtCriminal]

15. Dittoheads can sit, soaking in the rain and rant that it's sunny

still believing in the infallible truth of Rush.

[mfcorey1]

17. That's telling him!

[Chipper Chat]

18. LimRyan

The Snobsey Twins

[budkin]

19. Couldn't have said it any better!

CROFL @ eat feces!

[Whisp]

22. well said

[Hubert Flottz]

23. I don't think Rush will ever make it as a weatherman.

Too ripped to relate. And if he was the weatherman who the hell would believe the weather report? Rush needs to lay back and pop a few more of his downers before the speech this evening and...

Knock yourself out Rush...so you can cope.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

24. I'm printing up a radar pic & the forecast.

For those all too annoying Mitt Twitts I know.

Facts have a liberal bias after all!

[wildeyed]

25. It is overcast and rumbling right now.

Facebook post from friend near uptown confirms that it is pouring down there already.

[BumRushDaShow]

26. MSNBC showed Fineman completely soaked

with some water still present on his face and all he could do was laugh about how the producers were off to the side trying to dry out his blazer with blow dryers.

Limpball the Hutt needs to waddle out of his palace to see what the world looks like on the outside!

[bulloney]

27. Maybe Rush was accidentally reading the script on Romney's support among African-Americans,

thinking it was the weather forecast for Charlotte.

Not 10 percent. Not 5 percent. But ZERO percent.

[LynneSin]

67. Or Women or Latinos or LGBT or

well just about anyone but Wealthy White Land Owners

[Spitfire of ATJ]

87. Or,...he believes the National Weather Service actually controls the weather...

[img][/img]

Marty: "It says in the paper it's gonna rain."

Doc: "My God,...the Democrats have to stay indoors."

[Kookaburra]

28. Sitting here right now -- watching the rain pour

listening to the thunder rumble, and I'm in Charlotte. (How's that zero percent working for you, Rush? You dumbass hack.)

[HubertHeaver]

29. Rush is confused. He's looking at the report for Austin, Tx

Or Charlotte, Tx. No rain in sight, unfortunately.

[Johonny]

31. He also said he could have played in the NFL if he wanted to

he says a lot of pointless stupid *. Why listen?

[reflection]

92. Yeah, like the old joke goes,

he could have played end, guard and tackle. Sit on the end of the bench, guard the medical staff's painkillers, and tackle anyone who came hear them.

[lpbk2713]

106. They could always use a tackle dummy.

Or in the specific case of OxyRush ... just plain "dummy".

[all american girl]

32. LOL!!!!!! Oh god, my side hurts from laughing so much

Martin just said the sky is looking a wee bit scary and, what do you know, the outside shot showed it looking a wee bit scary. Limpballs is getting a bit screechy, it's he.

[AnneD]

34. Once again....

the truth seems to have a liberal bias.

[NRaleighLiberal]

35. and his followers would stand in rain, get soaked, and swear it is sunny and they are dry!

truly the most deluded/ignorant collection possible, for the most part.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

37. They famously said "We create our own reality". Don't bother them with the facts.

[silverweb]

40. Damn fact checkers!

[font color="navy" face="Verdana"]Who's gonna listen to them, anyway, when the Monstrous Ego speaks?

[rdking647]

41. heres the actual transcript of what limpdick said

They have revised the weather forecast in Charlotte, North Carolina. The chance of rain tonight is zero. Literally zero! Not 5%. Not 10%. There is a 0% chance of rain tonight. This convention is in chaos, if you want to know the truth. Their platform is in chaos. Here is the sentence that sent this convention over the edge. The platform calls for a government that, quote, "gives everyone willing to work hard the chance to make the most of their God-given potential." That's what it was all about.

just a bunch of rambling crap my lying cockroach

[11 Bravo]

46. Thanks, I was in the car, but was pretty sure that I pretty much had it right.

Bottom line - Rush is one stupid mother-fucker.

[rdking647]

55. thats an insult to the stupid

limpdick is a waste of oxygen

[LoisB]

42. Great post

[Spitfire of ATJ]

43. He's saying this to claim the government can't do anything right...

....but the National Weather Service DID call for thunderstorms but he knows his listeners won't check if he's lying.

44. Wait just a darn minute here...

Rush Limbaugh said no rain, and then it RAINED? God's gonna have to pay for this one.

[SunSeeker]

47. Dems have the good sense to come in out of the rain, Limpballs!

[Grammy23]

48. Wasn't their thesis that the Dems were afraid

They couldn't fill the stadium so they canceled to save face?? Excuse me for muddying the water with a few facts, but it seems like I read somewhere yesterday that they gave out 80,000 tickets for this event!!!! That is more than the stadium will hold and you can bet your sweet ass that they probably had waiting lists for tickets. I would be there if I didn't have to drive 14 hours to get there. So there are probably thousands and thousands more of us who would be headed into Charlotte right this minute if we thought we had a chance to get in to that stadium.

These people are becoming so irrelevant. Will their followers ever catch on that they are full of it??? Their eyes ought to be brown they are so full of it!

[neeksgeek]

49. I live in Charlotte, Rush is a dope

It rained hard just an hour ago. I am a mile from the DNC.

[progressivebydesign]

50. the forecast last night, for this evening, was lightning/thunderstorms. Rush has taken to crack.

that's the only excuse. the radar shows otherwise, Rush: http://weather.weatherbug.com/NC/Charlotte-weather/local-radar/doppler-radar.html?zcode=z6286

[alphafemale]

52. And he will claim tomorrow that it DIDN'T rain.

He is 300lbs of horseshit in a leaky sack.

And if our President had gone ON with the event?

These filthy assholes would have screamed that he was putting people at risk of getting struck by lightning or falling on wet surfaces.

Fuck trying to appease bullies.

[SaveAmerica]

102. That's what I said, imagine if someone had been struck by lightening during the convention!

Or parts of the stage blew down, or a sign showing the states' delegations blew over and gave a delegate a concussion. He would never have heard the end of that.

They've got our backs and I appreciate that immensely.

[CoffeeCat]

53. Rush must be chugging his Vicodin smoothies again...

The man is always wrong.

I tuned into the first half hour of his show and he insisted that our convention was the most embarrassing moment in the history of all conventions--EVER. Oh please. He's so off-the-charts bizarre and his rants are not based in reality. Most Republicans I know concede that the Dems are having a great convention.

Rush has no credibility. And right now, he's probably coming down from a pretty righteous Vicodin high, so maybe he'll sleep for the next 72 hours and be quiet for a change.

[armed_and_liberal]

56. Such Irony! Limbaugh has been pissing on his followers heads for years

And telling them it is raining!

[MatthewStLouis]

57. In their fantasy it's not rain but the despondent tears of vanquished democrats.

The GOPers have amazing imaginations.

[BlueMTexpat]

59. All they have to do is to check The Weather Channel.

http://www.weather.com/weather/today/USNC0121

It's now saying "Expect thunderstorms to begin Thursday at 7 p.m.

Either it's just that the GOP still don't believe in science or that they had hoped Dems in attendance - and especially President Obama - would be struck by lightning or both.

Their logic and goodwill towards their fellow human beings are certainly on a par.

Which is why I will never ever support any of their crazy RW zealot candidates.

[SpankMe]

61. 50% chance of thunder storms in Charlotte during Obama's speech.

More than sufficient reason for a change in venue. They close down outdoor public swimming pools, golf courses and state fair amusement parks for less.

[eqfan592]

62. What's sad is I've seen some folks parroting this around the internet already.

I mean really, if they can't be bothered to check something as simple as this out for themselves....I just don't know what to say. It's dismaying.

66. Now be fair, I've always turned to the Rush Limbaugh show for my weather advice

BTW, for smart people go to weather.com

http://www.weather.com/weather/hourbyhour/graph/USNC0121

It's not worth risking lives with a thunderstorm.

Limbaugh is a douchbag

[RoccoR5955]

89. Forget Weather.com

They get their information from www.weather.GOV.
THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE.
EVERY commercial weather outfit on the web gets their info from the NWS, so why shouldn't you?
Best US weather site on the 'net.
And because it's run by the government for WE THE PEOPLE, and not them, the corporations.
IT HAS NO ADS OR SPAM!

[LynneSin]

90. I love the NHC for tracking hurricanes

Don't live in an area affected that often by hurricanes but I like tracking them.

[jlayson]

104. Big map in motion

http://radar.weather.gov/ridge/Conus/full_loop.php

[RoccoR5955]

111. That's the HUGE map!

I like it, as well as a ton of other features on weather.gov, but like I said, my favorite thing about it is that there are no ads, no spam, so less of a chance of getting infected.

[The_Casual_Observer]

68. Today's sour GOP talking point has been spoiled by reality as usual

[pepperbear]

69. and the response is....

"Really? That's what you're going with?"

[Neon2012]

70. Good Syntax

And a good message. Fuck Rush Limbaugh.

[SansACause]

71. He says the same thing about global warming.

Reality has a well-known liberal bias.

[DeSwiss]

72. ''Consume feces and expire, you corpulent collection of crap.''

- This needs to be submitted to WikiQuotes!

[Marie Marie]

76. Wow, you must have caught that shot of Rush on one of his better days.

Usually he is covered in flop sweat.

[DeSwiss]

81. LULZ!!!

[BlancheSplanchnik]

105. HAH!!!!! Love the photoshop!

perfect!!!

[heaven05]

73. bravo

especially on "consume feces and expire, you corpulent collection of crap". LOL!

[rateyes]

74. feces eating feces...

what an image

[Thinkingabout]

77. The talk shows started this earlier in the week

When the DNC said they have alternate plans in case of rain the talk shows started saying it was because DNC could nit fill the stadium. Guess they forgot about the wimps the week before who ran from Isaac that went to NO. What a bunch of whiners.

[nadinbrzezinski]

78. Once again, his listeners are NOT watching the NWS

or the convention, they live and die by what Rush tells them. Though things like this start to chip away, since well, some of his listeners actually LIVE in Charlotte. Lying eyes and all that.

[Initech]

79. Someone really needs to explain to this dipshit how the weather really works.

And it ain't a conspiracy theory concocted by the National Weather Bureau either.

[Major Hogwash]

80. Limbaugh also said that Bubba's speech last night wouldn't help President Obama.

Har-dee-har-har-har!!

I have never heard Limbaugh be so far off target as he was today!!

[LiberalAndProud]

82. Yes. Zero chance of rain in Charlotte and

global warming is a hoax.

[font size="1"]Dittohead ->[/font]

[ms liberty]

83. larry sprinkle is the weatherman on wcnc...

The local charlotte NBC station - I don't live in charlotte, but it is our media market here in the foothills. He is the morning guy...this morning, he had us with a 40% chance of rain this afternoon and tonite. As usual, rush is full of it. And, BTW, right this minute it is pouring just east of my house.

[JBoy]

84. I bet there are a bunch of drenched Rush listeners in Charlotte wondering WTF is going on.

[Historic NY]

94. It was rush trickling down on them.

[usregimechange]

86. Sorry, can't support hoping for some one's death, -1

[barbtries]

91. wow.

just bald faced lying on the airwaves and why? to roil up the unenlightened base and inspire more hate in their measly hearts. what a fuckwad.

[AlbertCat]

95. So that's why all the "no chance of rain" comments

... on Huff post.

Moments before the speech, some troll was saying "I just checked the weather report and there is a 10% chance of rain in Charlotte.... but a 100% chance Obama couldn't fill a stadium."

So I went over to Weather.com to see an 80% chance of rain and a radar full of yellow red and green blobs. I replied:

"There is an 80% chance of rain in Charlotte and a 100% chance repugs are so desperate they are making up weather reports. How pitiful is that?"

Apparently it's even MORE pitiful than I thought last night. They couldn't even make up a weather report! They had to parrot Rush "take a handful of Oxy" Limbaugh to come up with their "diabolical plan"!

What a bunch of total losers.... as we will prove again in November.



P.S. did I mention this display of "Obama couldn't fill a stadium" was the comment board for an article about the thousands who were unable to attend? HELLOOOOO???

[SaveAmerica]

98. Well I was in it, soaked all the way through. Worst part was high winds and lightening

that started after the initial rainstorm stopped. Here's the Facebook status of the local NBC news from that time yesterday. (I just realized that when the downpour started I was in the MSNBC area which was filming outside and would have recorded all the umbrellas and rain, why do they lie about something that is so easy to disprove?)

https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=435875736453922&set=a.120271008014398.7171.119243191450513&type=1&theater

One of the last comments on there is how there was lightening and flashes throughout the speeches, I wouldn't know cause I was in the Convention Center in the substitute location where we were out of any bad weather. My daughter asked in the middle of the speeches if I heard rain outside so could be. I'm just thankful for a team that is looking out for all possibilities. They made a great call.

[DemoTex]

109. "Human Weather Balloon Rush Limbaugh" (Steven Colbert)

Stephen Colbert mocked 'Human Weather Balloon Rush Limbaugh' on Colbert's DNC Show. Limbaugh was a weather conspiracy expert at both the RNC and DNC conventions. Limbaugh's recent (last 6 months or so) drug-addled rantings raise the limbo question (pun intended): How low can they go?
