1. Ahhh, so this is where Michelle Bachman got that stuff
about investigating the anti-American element. She listens to Rush.

Franken was almost right about Rush - Rush Limbaugh is a big, fat, RACIST idiot.

52. I am white and my wife is black and we live in the South. I
have in-laws who have grown up during Jim Crow and none of them hate this country, quite the opposite in fact! My father-in-law was a career Marine who will be removing one of his sons, also a Marine, from life support this week, and he LOVES this country! What he dislikes is the direction this country has been taken and the deceit used to put our soldiers in harms way for a purely political agenda. My elderly in-laws have endured so much hate for their race 1st hand and yet have an open mind about people of all races. I should know, from the moment they met me, a shaved headed, goateed white man, they made me feel so welcome! For Rush to presume what black people think and how they act, maybe he should really get to know some, and I am not talking about any on his staff. This will never happen of course. The media play upon the fringes and the news making stuff. Showing regular black families who are a credit to their communities is boring stuff and it does not play to the stereotype. While there are always some that support any stereotype, people are people, simple as that! I wonder how bad Rush would whine if the situations had been reversed and his people had been enslaved and discriminated against!

7. My Dad is one of those idiots.
I love my Dad...but he has been drinking the right wing cool aid from Faux Snooze
and this wind bag Brush Lintball. To confront him on it would be to lose what inheritance I might get.
And i need that money to make it to retirement. (don't get me started on the economy) Fox news needs to go away or at least STFU. My Dad is a very intelligent retired Army officer who I respect a great deal, but the poison of the Right wingnut agenda has ruined him. Its not his fault...He grew up when you could trust a newsman to tell you the news without spin. Fox caught all of us sleeping, and started the Propaganda machine rolling when Clinton gave them something to chew on. I also believe that the Jerry Springer show lowered expectations so much that everyone thinks that a Good political debate should end with a chair being thrown or calling someone a whore. Now...that is all that those lowbrow repugs want.

:scared: :cry: I am very scared for the future of my country. What are we going to do if they steal
this election?

:rant: OK I'll stop the rant now.

I mean ...right! We poor put upon Christian white men just can't get a break! Obama and ACORN, by having lazy teenagers register Mickey Mouse and Lily Von Schtupp, have taught everyone of color to hate America while destroying the prime lending rate! OH MY GOD! I'm gonna have to go out and vote for an AIP supporting know-nothing hunter/beauty-pageant-runner-up and her aging uncle John to save White people in America! This is BIG!

13. Something needs to be done about Rush. He is teaching hate and dividing
us to the point of violence, ignorance and extreme hate. He needs to be fired in a big public way with all his lies exposed nationally on TV so all can see what he has done to the people of this country.

15. He's nuts. And about one-quarter of Americans let him do their thinking.
I tremble for my country when I consider his influence. The real movement here is two decades of this hater spewing his lies, and now the scorched earth policy of the Rethuglicans is the legacy.

41. I hope it's not that many
Maybe one quarter of voters, but I don't want to think that one out of four of my neighbors see things his way. Indeed, I hope it's not even one out of four voters either.

I know...I bet 25% of the total morans who know how to program an AM radio are dittoheads.
I like my numbers better, it makes a better world.

It felt like I'd gone back in time to the early sixties when I heard intelligent southerners argue from "Race and Reason". It is difficult to believe there are still people who believe this crap.

There are....but Rush isn't one of them. He doesn't believe what he's riffing on. He pops some pills and comes in in the morning, his research team hand him some topics and some talking points that he's never seen before today, and he goes on the air and ad libs what he thinks his ditto-head audience wants to hear. Then he pops some more pills, has a swig of expensive brandy and smokes an illegal Cuban cigar while he searches teenage gay internet porn. That's Rush's day.

And in that sense he is worse than the genuine bigots. He spouts off whatever they want to hear to make big bucks. He plays on people's fears and hate, and doesn't care what the consequences are, as long as he gets the big paycheck.

19. It isn't 'racism' ... that isn't quite the point of it..
its about hate, the powerful emotion of hate.
its about feeling empowered by hating something.
its about personalizing the hate to focus the mob.
its about power. revenge. subjugation.
insanity.

but it isn't the hate speech that is so horrifying
as what comes next

51. every person is a bigot about something.....
part of the human condition, it seems.

yet a peaceful man may think bigoted thoughts
and understand them for what they are and will
temper his actions.

for it is not thinking as a bigot, but acting as a bigot
that is the more grave wrong, and a true danger to society.
for the result is predictable, escalating violence.

So what is become importantly clear is not so much that Rush
is a racist... but that he doesn't care about acting on such bigotry.
Thus he makes himself a man not merely of hate, but also of violence.

God will not smile upon him for such a grievous course.
Nor shall we.

23. My hope is that the Rush followers are not increasing in numbers
but remaining static. What percentage of the population actually falls for this crap? 20%- the sociopathic segment?

I cannot see Rush actually attracting more and more people to his viewpoint, he offers no constructive solution to social challenges, he just perpetually feeds the monster of blame, hate and resentment. This is a totally sociopathic viewpoint- completely devoid of compassion or empathy. Recognize.

Does anyone remember when Rush Lumbaugh was caught purchasing drugs illegally? The nut radio talk show hosts (Michael Medvdeh, Bill O'Reilly and Sean Hannity) tried to cover it up. What double standards the conservative and republicans have.

44. Johnny, some help in your unholy debate
Definition of racism:
1. a belief or doctrine that inherent differences among the various human races determine cultural or individual achievement, usually involving the idea that one's own race is superior and has the right to rule others.
2. a policy, system of government, etc., based upon or fostering such a doctrine; discrimination.
3. hatred or intolerance of another race or other races.

What Rush is essentially saying is that there is a great big "afro-centric" conspiracy out there that has simultaneously kept their own people poor and downtrodden, incited black children to hatred of whites, caused the financial crisis that's affecting Americans (and indeed the world) and wants America to burn, and therefore they've put up this candidate who will only further espouse these alleged ideals, causing havoc and destruction.

He's essentially implying (because obviously he's to clever to be explicitly racist, as I imagine most of his listeners want to delude themselves that they aren't racist, just hard done by) that they are the cause of all your problems, thereby promoting hatred and intolerance of black people, which fits in nicely with point 3. He's also implying that white people do none of these things, therefore leading the listener to believe that blacks are inherently like this due to their race, which fits in nicely with point 1.

I could probably link it to point 2 as well, but I've got a report to write, so hope that helps in your fight against the devil spawn (and yes, I am being an Ideologist here!)

I will always hate Limbaugh just a tad bit more than any other right wing blowhard. He ADMITTED he was, in his words, 'Carrying water for people he felt didn't deserve it.' Then the next day he goes on the air, spews the same garbage, and expects to have any credibility?

Rush Limbaugh is a craven liar who runs a SHOW. Hell he was high as a kite while calling for everyone else to be locked up. The cognitive dissonance it must require to listen to a guy who actually ADMITS he is a fraud is profound.

33. That's the most shockingly racist rant I've heard in my life.
That man's racism is a deep, deep, cancer.

Wow.
The US has given the world a whole new level of depraved political "negativity" with the campaigning of the likes of this man and the "pallin' around with terrorists" you betcha woman, "soul-mate" of the so very self-effacing "ex-POW" candidate for president.

The only thing I disagree with is the "this is not John McCain!" line, which pretends that a "real John McCain" stands above the crudity of his campaign, and above those who are somehow "running it" unawares to poor John. As if it weren't plain fact that John McCain's campaign is the end product of his entire political career and says more about him than anything else possibly could.

he'd have it made

He's been selling this notion that being black is such a huge advantage in this country for so many years, I have to wonder why he even mentions that Obama is of color. Shouldn't he let people think he's just another poor white schmuck?

That would level the playing field.

Are they so stupid that they can't say the Name of OUR DEMOCRATIC PARTY?

I despise Rush Limbaugh and all his well paid propaganda. He has been deceiving listeners for far too long. He is a blight to our country and democracy and he is an insult to truthful informative media.

He should have been ban from the public air waves years ago since he is harmful to all that is deceit in a civil society.

45. If ACORN is such a dangerous
anti-American (I wonder if that includes Mexico?) force of evil than why are they simply registering people to vote?

I mean if I hated the US, I would certainly do more than simply register people to vote. Simply registering illegal and dead people, then hoping someone shows up to vote illegally, really wouldn't make a dent in a pool of about 120 million voters. You would need about 5 million people to cheat in order to have an impact on the vote. It would be much easier to simply rig the voting machines with a fake software code, like the Republicons do.

That's a way to make people hate America, force them to participate in Democracy by voting.

I wish Republicons had the logic gene or at least their chosen cheerleaders did.

Or in Limbaugh's case, not so disguised. Sometimes the sheets do come off.
