Rush is out of control! He thinks it would have been "cool" if the DC crowds stormed the White House

[Phoebe Loosinhouse]

He claims that some of them were carrying a Soviet flag. The he made the bizarre statement in my OP. Earlier a caller called in and said that the people in Grant Square were "Bolsheviks". The caller said he was energized and excited about the struggle ahead (my paraphrase). I think Rush has gone around the bend and so have his listeners. They are in the grip of some mass illusion that they are threatened by Marxists, Socialists, and Bolsheviks. Does anyone one have any large isolated tract of land with caves they could donate to these loonies? They can hide out in the caves and do their paramilitary drills to their heart's content all day long and then spend every night watching Red Dawn.

Another highlight - A woman from West Virginia called in and complained that the Fox News people had described the West Virginia McCain voters as "uneducated, poor people" . Rush replied, well, they were probably using exit polling to describe you. Ha! She didn't even realize what he said and neither did he, because by extrapolation, isn't he describing his own audience?

[skooooo]

1. Wow.....

Rush is going to find himself pretty isolated over the next year or so, imo.

[cobalt1999]

6. Are you kidding?

Rush is looking at the biggest personal windfall of ratings and money he can imagine. He no longer has to try and defend the administration, he can get back to what he is good at, attacking the administration.

These are good days for Rush.

[BrklynLiberal]

2. How about some island in the North Sea???

[Fridays Child]

9. An ice floe would be enough real estate for him.

Let's put him out here and give the bear his job.

[lonestarnot]

12. I'm for putting him out there and just giving the bear breakfast, but

it would probably make the poor bear sick. :puke:

[nomorenomore08]

23. LOL - reminds me of that "Simpsons" where Gentle Ben had his own talk show.

Honestly, though, I think Ben would be an improvement over Rush - smelling better, less growling, etc. :evilgrin:

[DBoon]

38. they wouldn't worry

they don't belive in global warming anyway

[jpak]

3. I have bad news for the dittoheads - fluoridation is coming

:rofl:

[GreenPartyVoter]

4. Dang! Secret service might want to start monitoring him

[knowbody0]

5. I had to tune out after a few minutes

but it is indeed hysterical. He's very shakey today, and squeeling like the pig he is.

[brendan120678]

7. Sadly, Rush is only going to get stronger...

The right-wing fundies will be eating his shit up for the next 8 years.

[MineralMan]

34. And that would be different...

how, exactly?

[hobbit709]

8. "Bolsheviks" This isn't 1917

Can't they come up with anything new?

[BanTheGOP]

10. HE ISN'T LONG IN LASTING...

...as we will institute the Fairness Doctrine on his ass by summer.

[Endangered Specie]

36. man I thought you were talking about something completely different

:evilgrin:

[ramapo]

11. I gave Rush 5 minutes today...I needed a shower afterwards

I figured I'd take a listen to hear if he might extend an ounce of respect to the new President-elect and the 50+ million who voted for him.

I was absolutely sickened by Limbaugh's snarky, racist, totally-disgusting remarks, aimed not only at Obama but his entire family. This man is a disgrace and after a few minutes I had had more than enough. I wanted to run and take a long hot shower.

[MaraJade]

27. You're stronger than I am. . .

I cannot listen to Limbaugh at all. He upsets me to the point where I just want to smash the radio to bits.

I am trying to lessen the drama and increase the peace in my life, so no Limbaugh EVER. But thanks for the report.

[NRaleighLiberal]

13. Rush is insane. Batshit crazy. Once everyone turns him off, he will go away.

[Phoebe Loosinhouse]

15. I listen once in a while just to see if he's still bloviating and to guage the level of his sanity

Now, what I think is very telling is that apparently he has NO understanding that the vote and the turnout might as well be consider a referendum on HIM and his fear mongering and that in the end - HE DIDN"T MATTER. No one gave a shit about what he thought except for his trusty brigade of pseudo uber "patriotic" miscreants.

I will listen to Hannity today and then I promise no more for the sake of my own mental health. My comments above apply in the same manner to Hannity, that Great Fake American.

[Feron]

14. Back on Oxycontin?

That was my thought after listening to some of his gibberish.

[MaraJade]

28. Possibly. . .

or maybe he's doing cocktails of dope now.

[tom_paine]

16. I've simply got to stand up for Red Dawn. Hokey as hell and more corny with each passing year,

but a classic piece of Americana.

Look, I know it was a RW masturbatory-fest in many ways, but it was also, underneath that, a solid movie with good characters and, yes, a decent plot that, even with all the corn, kept a young man riveted to his seat.

Has it grown cornier with each passing year? My God, yes! On the rare occasions I dust it off and watch it again these days, I can play, "Count the horrible cliches," and it never ends.

Them sonsabitches tried a-havin' their way with them.

Avenge me!

Me-n-her is as good as any of you!

Oh Lord, I could go on for hours, and yes, the film is still good, IMHO. Not everything is shit just because small-dicked Freepers like it for the wrong reasons.

Just my two cents. Call me a small-dicked Freeper if you must, but I stand by what I said. I like Red Dawn and I don't care who knows it.

[Blue_Tires]

19. +1

great memories watching that as a kid...

[MrCoffee]

22. +2

:thumbsup:

[tom_paine]

24. Dude, I LOOOOVEEEE your sigline.

"Did you ever wonder, Mandrake, why I only drink pure distilled grain alcohol and rainwater?"

[jpak]

25. My favorite parts were the scenes where used OPFOR faux T-72 tanks

They were made of plastic and the gun tube kept flopping up and down like a cheap soda straw...

Talk about yer cheese...

:rofl:

[Phoebe Loosinhouse]

26. You boys need a sleepover in the backyard in a tent.

You can toast marshmallows and swap Hot Wheels and play act Red Dawn. Now you BOTH can't be Patrick Swayze, so we'll have to flip a coin.

Just kidding! :toast: There are lots of cornball movies I am fond of. I never tire of the original Invaders From Mars

But, I think part of the allure of Red Dawn is that it taps into "convenient" patriotism. No need to actually enlist in a real army and go to some scary foreign country, you can fight them darn Bolshies right at home in your own backyard. Obviously, I'm not talking about you, since you are celebrating it's ham fisted corniness, but I think this is a reason it's such a favorite of wingnuts. Their whole leitmotif is hidden domestic threats.

[Dr Fate]

30. I also love the movie for all the same reasons. We used to play "Red Dawn" in the woods as kids...

We built forts, fox holes, the whole works.

The big difference b/t us and the Freeps is we were children playing pretend!!!

[AlCzervik]

17. Sucks for Rush that Black people aren't the cartoons he's painted them to be.

suck it Rush.

[Sheets of Easter]

18. Rush: My offer still stands. You can die on-air from a painful cerebral hemorrhage any time now.

[Jack Rabbit]

29. Oh, come now, Your Majesty

There is nothing cerebral about Rush to hemorrhage.

[cynatnite]

20. Down with the loonies, comrade...

:rofl:

[kenny blankenship]

21. They looked like excited college kids - but I only get CNN, not Rush's Hallucination Channel

On my TV they appeared to be a gathering of uppermiddle class kids, doubtlessly headed towards professional and academic careers -before the Bush Depression hit anyway.

[TexasObserver]

31. the kid with the hammer & sickle flag looked like a plant

It was on Fox News, and it looked like a set up, something that Fox probably contrived.

[Phoebe Loosinhouse]

37. Probably Ashlee "backwards B" 's brother.

Like all of their covert ops, very hamfisted and corny - another Red Dawn re-enacter.

(Not that there's anything wrong with Red Dawn }( )

[librechik]

32. I would offer them Texas

but they already seem to be in charge there.

[musette_sf]

33. 1. we know that "Marxist", "Socialist" and "Bolshevik"

is NeoCon code for "N*****".

2. does El Rushbo not remember Georgie Butch's nutty sister Doro leading the Thug demonstration, shouting "Get out of Cheney's house" in front of the VPOTUS' residence in 2000? IOKIYAR.

[atommom]

35. Does he think the Cold War is still going on? Who decided they were going with the

Communist/Soviet/Bolshevik/Marxist rhetoric? This is beyond ridiculous.

[tjwash]

39. Am I a bad person for thinking how funny Rush's fat ass would look storming anything?

nt

[pipi_k]

40. Would have been even cooler if they had

poured tar all over him and set him ablaze, then catapulted him over the White House fence to land in the Rose Garden or something


Who knows how long he would have burned?


:party:
