Rush Limbaugh: Dow Crash is Obama's Fault

[TheCoxwain]

He says people are taking profits before capital gains go up...


He is stupider than I thought... This is a world wide problem -- Stocks are tanking world wide.

This has nothing to do with Cap Gains

[sweetpotato]

1. wow - Obama has POWER

even Rush admits it!

[tridim]

27. It's a preemptive neo-clenis effect.

[zulchzulu]

2. Obama to blame for Earth's gravity!

Rush, tell 'em!!!

[fascisthunter]

3. Hey Rush.... Remember What Happened after the Last Crash you Republicans Created?

We got FDR..... have a heart attack

[TexasLady]

6. LOL

:rofl:

[TankLV]

48. And that's another repuke talking point - we don't want to create another NEW DEAL.

We don't want to create another FDR.

Who is "we", and "why not"!!!

WE DEMAND TO BRING BACK THE NEW DEAL - AND THENSOME.

WE ONLY WISH WE COULD HAVE ANOTHER FDR!!!

my how low "we" have fallen if they are trying to push the meme that somehow FDR and the New Deal was something BAD...

[TwilightGardener]

4. That's a coordinated message--Fox was saying the same thing--new GOP talking point.

[ErinBerin84]

5. I stubbed my toe today and it's all Obama's fault.

I've always had complete faith in Rush Limbaugh's stupidity.

[rasputin1952]

7. I hope RL loses millions...

:evilgrin:

[Lucky 13]

8. I wonder if it's physically painful to be that stupid.

Their flailing is getting almost disorienting. You have to suspend any sense of logic in order to swallow this bullshit.

[yardwork]

12. Maybe that's why Rush is a hard-core junkie pedophile.

[dkf]

9. What profits?

[yardwork]

10. Obama is overtaking the clenis in power!

[high density]

11. Taking profits when it's 40% off its peak??

Does he understand the meaning of "profit"?

[redqueen]

15. All he understands is that in order to keep earning those fat paychecks,

he has to keep carrying water. He knows it... openly admitted it. He says what he's told. He's a mouthpiece, nothing more. He knows what he is... it's his idiotic audience that's so stupid you could sell them anything with the right branding on it.

[Jersey Devil]

13. Profits? Maybe for investors who bought in 1988?

He's talking out his ass again

[Rocknrule]

14. It's gonna be the Obenis from now on

[Virginia Dare]

16. They don't even realize how stupid this sounds..

Heather Wilson last night was blaming the real estate bubble pop on Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. She said if the Democrats hadn't ignored the problems there, we'd all be fine right now. There are just no words for this type of ignorance.

[YOY]

22. There is one and you said it.

"Ignorance."

[Virginia Dare]

35. Somehow it seems so inadequate though....n/t

[Uncle Joe]

41. I would add one more word to it

"willful ignorance", they're not this stupid on purpose, they do it for the sole purpose of obtaining power.

I believe, they believe the American People are as the group of blind men trying to describe an elephant by touch, each of course coming up with different descriptions of what an elephant was like depending on what part of the elephant's body they touched.

The Republicans rule and their corporate media puppets enable them by this concept, always giving partial pictures to any complex problem in the hopes of conquering the people by dividing them.

[Renew Deal]

17. I new he would say that.

It's pointless to listen to his show. He is so predictable.

[BuyingThyme]

18. He's never been wrong before.

[alcibiades_mystery]

19. PROFITS???

:rofl:

Who the fuck is taking profits by selling after the market is down 2000 pts in a week?

It's completely fucking absurd.

[nyhuskyfan]

20. Over a 5% increase?

So according to the right, wealthy people are taking huge losses in the market now because they are worried that a year and a half from now (Obama can't affect the tax laws for 2009), capital gains taxes might go up 5% from 15-20.

It is such utter nonsense.

[PA Democrat]

21. Moron. Most people selling today are losing their shirts.

[liberal N proud]

23. Just imagine...

If he has the power to crash the market before he is elected what he will be able to do with the power of the President.

[vanderBeth]

24. I would like to hear your logic, Mr. Limbaugh.

[SurfingAtWork]

25. This message brought to you by the party of personal responsibility.

[YOY]

26. Must resist urge to go out and punch idiots...so hard...

n.t.

[ipfilter]

28. One might need to have gains

in order to pay taxes on them. Margin calls and de-leveraging result in capital losses, not gains. This market is about wealth destruction, not creation. I know people who are still writing off the maximum $3000/year capital losses carried forward from the tech bubble crash. Rush is an idiot.

[jezebel]

29. Bill O'reilly was trying to push this meme last night. The markets are scared at the thought of

Obama being president so they are selling off now.

[Virginia Dare]

40. That must be McDead's double secret plan to "fix" the economy then..

just by virtue of him being the White House, everything will magically turn around....:crazy:

[renie408]

30. Hmmm...sounds like he has gotten into the medicine cabinet again. n/t

[Whisp]

31. maybe in a way he is right...

when Barack won the primaries and starting looking like he could win the Pres back a few months - the fat bastards decided to do a final grand theft and run oft with the money - as most likely they would be called on this bs if Obama were in charge.

[City Lights]

32. From Limbaugh's rectum to McPalin supporters' ears. nt

[ITsec]

33. I would love to see Slush Limpdick lose everything...

and stand on the corners holding a sign "Will work for food". His mansions, his cars, his jet... and even his cigar collection. Everything. Just that fat moron scrounging like everyone else in the streets.

And I'm not the kind that would wish that on just anyone. But him, I can make an exception.

[Virginia Dare]

37. If you plopped Rush down in the jungle..

he would be tiger food within minutes.

[RichardRay]

34. THAT is one of the most truly ignorant things I've ever heard.

Seriously. Either he believes that and he's really stupid, or he says that and he's really venal.

[Alter Ego]

36. Don't listen to Rush, he is a serial killer of brain cells.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

38. Limbaugh's anal cysts told him this

He counts on their learned advice for all his positions. After all, those anal cysts have saved his ass on other occasions.

[rucky]

39. How many folks are selling at a profit right now?

[Virginia Dare]

45. We're at the point where even the rich are losing their shirts..

they have alot more shirts to lose granted, but they're feeling it now as well.

[creeksneakers2]

42. Rush is on the verge of inciting mass violence

He's taking some vague quote from James Carville and turning it into Obama supporters threatening mass violence of Obama doesn't win. The Rush asked, "When are we going to riot?" Rush and Fox have people really worked up. Rush is close to taking the next step.

If we have economic collapse, which is possible, we might also have a collapse of order. The right wing could blame Obama and the left for the economic collapse and send their people into the streets.

[Virginia Dare]

44. They'd have to leave the safety of mommy's basement..

and their precious keyboards though. Somehow I just can't get any real fear worked up about Rush Limbaugh listeners. The white supremicists do scare me a bit though, and I have to think they're getting stirred up by all of this nonsense as well. We as a country have to come together to marginalize all of this now.

[TheCoxwain]

46. He is a friggin Megalomaniac & a total nutjob

[volstork]

43. Wow, i thought it was

the clenis!

[carnie_sf]

47. Well

at least he's finally stopped blaming Bill Clinton

[scheming daemons]

49. Taking profits? WHAT FUCKING PROFITS?

Nobody who has sold in the past two weeks is going to HAVE any "Capital gains". We're all taking losses.



What a fucking idiot.

[GobamaX]

50. I believe Rush...

...is still a junkie.
