Rush Limbaugh - The new and improved Jesus
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1066525/posts

Make no mistake. Rush Limbaugh is “The Passion.” He is the passion of conservatism, the very pulse, bounding through the veins of the nation. He produces life with every heartbeat of his show as he scoffs at liberals and gives us his interpretation of conservative truth. His brand of ideology shakes the very foundations of liberalism.

He follows in the footsteps of giants, such as George Washington, Thomas Paine, and Ronald Reagan, promoting the ideals of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. He broadcasts affectionately trying to steer growing government towards the ideals of the Constitution.

He believes that Americans with limited government are better Americans. He believes that Americans shouldn’t murder babies in the womb. He believes that tax cuts are good for the economy. And finally, he believes safe Americans living free are the best Americans of all.

Boldly he pronounces the lies of liberalism and asserting daily doses of truth. With resounding conviction, he echoes the sentiments of the Founding Fathers, evoking the wrath of those who oppose him. “The Passion.” His passion forces him to carry the torch of liberty and justice, inflicting backlash, lies, and corruption at his doorstep. The compassionate liberals, those that believe in fair play and equal justice, will do almost anything to berate him.

Mildly he sits and passes on his message, his passion, his views, his legacy. A legacy of truth, justice, and the conservative American way. He hands his gift down day after day, show after show. He will live as one of the greatest men in conservative history correct 98.4% of the time. There are few men in history that has received the same award as President Ronald Reagan. There are fewer men that could go on day after day under the scrutiny he faces. And there are only a handful of men that could keep themselves reserved while suffering the onslaught of the visceral hatred of “compassionate liberals.”

Quite frankly, I don’t know how he does it. How does he stand so strong against so much? How does he execute his duties so faithfully with the onslaught of these lies? How does he continue to go on the air? Especially when the people that presume to blackmail him walk free! “The Passion.” That’s how.

...and a rebuttal....

Rush is an absolute disgrace. I've lost ALL respect for the junkie. He only got concerned when he got caught, and not a minute sooner. Too bad more conservatives don't feel the same way. There is absolutely no excuse for his getting involved with such unsavory people and with such disgusting behavior. What a horrible icon for the right! Now we get to say, "Yeah-but, the other guy did it worse." Or any other "Yeah-buts" that I've heard. Can't look at him or listen to him anymore with any respect.

1. How does he do it? It's the oxy, stupid!
That's what I would post if I decided to waste my time at the freeper board. I get quite enough of them here.

Rush is toast.

2. 98.4 percent right?
so if he took 2,000 oxycontin, 1972 of them were just fine? it was only the extra 28 that got him into trouble?

Do you think Rush laughs at these fools as much as we do?

3. That's rich

I suppose Jesus doesn't need to return now, Rush is the replacement. Or would that be George W Bush?

I still content that if Rush could make $20 Million/year as a Liberal Talk show host, he spin on a dime and become one. He's all show.

Comparing RL to Christ is extremely offensive. More proof that Limbaugh and his group are some sort of cult. It'll be a happy day when the likes of his mind-control crap leaves this board for good.

There is sanity at FR!!!

14. "mildly"? Satire.. it has to be!
The invectives and hatred he spews daily can't appear mild to any sane person.

7. Does he still use that "you can trust me with your wife and daughter "line
Do the freepers honestly believe you can trust a drug addict? Thats pretty stupid.

11. Isn't it curious
that Rusty Limpballs says "you can trust me with your wife and daughter", but doesn't include a "you can trust me w/your son" line? Is he trying to tell his sheeple something?

10. Me too. The idiot's ranting is quite funny!
But it is depressing to think he is absolutely sincere. Finally, just sickening that so many consider blowhards like Rush a good source of information.

13. Hypocritical Freepers
I just read the board, and there are so many who conveniently miss the point of the rebuttals to Writer33's brainwashing post:
Rush Hatemonger did drugs, and became addicted. Is that the problem? NO! The problem is that he publicly, time and time again, said that all drug addicts should be locked up in prison, AND HE SAID THIS WHILE HE WAS A DRUG ADDICT!
Hey Freepers! STUPIDITY IS NOT A VIRTUE!

16. It's a cult
How can any thinking person listen to him and not see through his shtick? I have listened on and off since 1990, and predicted way back when that we would reap the whirlwind of what he has sown. No dialogue, no respect for other viewpoints - just hatred and demagoguery. Well, check who is in the White House. The coward will never appear with or have any guests on who disagree with him in the slightest. At least even Hannity does that. Rush's followers are a cult; it can be the only explanation. Limbaugh/LaRouche would be an honest ticket.

19. Because he says he's an entertainer and no one questions the veracity
of an entertainer do they? Besides life is too fragile for the republican mind, they couldn't take the glare of truth demolishing their beloved idols. It would send them screaming into their dark night alone lonely weeping uncontrolably. No one wants that do they? Would you want to see the major media talking heads on cnn, msnbc and that icon of untruth fox breaking down looking dumbfounded on air at the possiblility of rush* (* = dopehead) being shown the liar and hypocrite he really is?

20. If Freeperland likes Limbaugh so much. . .
than they should take the same pills he takes if they are that passionate about him.

21. You can trust him with your wife?
Ask Marta's ex husband if you can trust Rush's wife with anyone else's husband!

Chat-room romance at its finest.
