a retired teacher now, told us (younger siblings) almost 40 years ago that Rush would be the end of this country. He use to listen to Rush in the early years driving back and forth to I.U. Bloomington.

"Ronaldus Magnus".

I had to look that up -- it seems that has been Limpballs' pet name for Reagan for years; yet he was stumped on the question of why Reagan is idolized by the sheeple.

but the true believers. Me, I couldn't take much of it and just don't know why he's as big as he is. Is America really that stupid?

Notice the flopsweat as he reads the small facts and talking points minions have slipped under his nose. Makes him sound like he knows what he's talking about while he avoids the question and turns it back on the caller.



Aaaargghh!

Hey, Rush, why did Reagan's cabinet try to remove him after Iran/Contra?

Oh, never mind, you've had to work hard enough for one day.

Love to see Limburger at a loss for words. But this Sam Sneder dude is awful. Blah, blah, blah, stating the obvious and making sure we know how good he is at punking right wing radio hosts. Would have been much better to let the recording speak for itself.

...PUH---LEEZE!

I have alwys said, and will continue to say, that the right isn't in love with the "accomplishments" of reagan the president. reagan the president wouldn't survive Iowa in a republican presidential primary dominated by teabagger/fundies. They are in love with the "legend" of reagan the president that they hold in thir little pea brains by keping their little peabrains up their way too tight teabagger arses.

Thant's my 2 cents, and quite possibly overpriced at that!

PEACE!

It is all about the image.
And they are in love with the image of the great American hero who wages a tireless fight against the power of evil communist conspiracy to sap our precious bodily fluids....
The whole things depends on the dichotomy of great evil and great good...one or the other, you have to chose...the false dichotomy.

"He's a tax raiser, an amnesty giver, a cut and runner and he negotiated with terrorists, why is he a hero to conservatives?"

Blew his mind

Notice Limpy changes the subject over to Stark as soon as he realizes he has nothing to say on the matter. Claiming someone else just can't understand is a cop out and a dodge.
