From the leader of the Republican party: Kennedy Will Be Dead By The Time Health Care Bill Passes
On his radio show Friday, Rush Limbaugh suggested that Sen. Ted Kennedy (D-MA) would be dead by the time health care reform legislation passes. "Before it's all over, it'll be called the Ted Kennedy memorial health care bill," the talk show host says. He says President Obama has moved on to health care because he can't solve the economic crisis.

4. Leave him alone! Ignore him! He will magically go away! Just like the Swiftboat vets!

This is a corporate DEM plot to distract us from all the terrible things they are making Obama do!

Stop talking about all the bad things our enemies do- it helps them!!!

5. This parallels what Bunning said about Ginsberg
Yes Bunning is being ostracized inside the GOP, while Rush is being held up as an exemplary conservative. Disgusting.

6. Nasty is all they have left.
No solutions. No ideas. Just nasty snide comments.

It needs to be made a daily point.

7. Ask every Republican elected official the same question
"Do you agree with Rush Limbaugh?" You'll see more fancy footwork than a dozen Riverdance performances.

8. Rush continues to convince me that he is an asshole
This statement about Senator Kennedy is really rude and ofcourse totally un necessary. However, nothing stops Rush from spewing hate.

13. Stop insulting sphincters that way...
They do serve a useful purpose... Rush doesn't.

:rofl:

9. "he can't solve the economic crisis."
Or maybe he's just trying to do more than one thing at once?

11. I guess OxySlob doesn't understand multitasking
But then who in the puke party does? Look at prime example: ex-chimpenfurher. Couldn't eat a pretzel and watch TV at the same time.

12. Words fail.
Some are accused of "selling their soul to the devil."

Assuming that a devil exists, and assuming that souls exist, my guess is that the Limbaugh creature didn't need to be conned into any kind of sale.

He's a volunteer in the brigades of "evil" if ever there was one.

14. You never know, Rush
Rush, have you looked in the mirror lately?

If I were an overweight, oxycontin junkie, I might be a little more careful about who I predict is going to die.

Because, Rush, it could be you who goes first!

21. seriously?
Slander only applies to lies about a person, it doesn't have anything to do with opinions (and there are a whole heap of other outs for a talk show host discussing a public elected official). Rush is enough of an experienced sleazyball to avoid making the big mistake. As slimy as it is (talking wistfully about an opponent's eventual demise), that is free speech. In the US, slander can be very difficult to prove.

18. Well, if you go to this link here . . .
and scroll down, you will see a link to video of Tim Russert discussing Senator Tim Johnson's (D-South Dakota) illness with Meredith Veiera.

Which one is still alive?
