limbaugh calls Obama a 'jackass'
(CNN) - Rush Limbaugh criticized President Obama's economic positions Tuesday during his radio show with some intense rhetoric, even for him.

"He's a jackass, he's an economic illiterate, he's an economic ignoramus and that's being charitable," Limbaugh said on his popular radio program.

Limbaugh was talking about Obama's tax policy and whether to extend the Bush era tax cuts for individuals making over $200,000 and couples making over $250,000.

He referenced a meeting the president had with his economic advisers this week.
"Here are these two experienced economists telling this neophyte little man child president, look you've got a confidence problem out there," Limbaugh said. "I do believe he's an idiot where capitalism is concerned."

3. limbaugh is a disgusting fuck-head. What's worse are the fools that listen
to him and support his mega-bucks profit from the disgusting crap nonsense he peddles.

6. Having a jackass like Limpballs call you a jackass is a compliment.
Obama must be doing something right.

9. Gee Rush, I'd say we're all "idiots were capitalism is concerned"
We don't practice it, we can't define it, we fuck up when we try to exist within it, and yet we continue to worship it.

If, by chance, we are practicing it correctly, then Capitalism itself is a failure. :think:

10. Said the lone man in the glass booth to the former president of the Harvard Law Review
I think ol' Rush is just jealous of Obama's intellect and coolness.

18. Limbaugh's just barely smart enough not to say "uppity"
But you can for sure hear it right behind his spoken comments, can't you?

32. I never had called bush vulgar names because I knew where the meme would lead
'So what? You guys called Bush worse than a jackass.'

Disrespect for the office is wrong. And in this case the right wing wants to create the kind of climate which existed in dallas TX in 1963, if you know what I mean.

16. You know, this kind of shit would never pass muster in the 1960s and 1970s
Sure, you don't like the other party's representative, but you don't publicly call him/her a "jackass."

But ever since Reagan with the right began demonizing certain segments of society, we now have no respect or tolerance for anyone who disagrees with us.

It just goes to show how low we've stooped in political debate...

34. The dog whistle here is:
"Hey folks, I had to include the word 'economic' in there so I could get away with it. But you know the real message is the one without the two occurrences of that word."

36. So it's just a matter of time folks before Limpballs or one
of his racist cronies slip up and say it.....

Waiting....I am thinking as the continue to lose momentum
sometime between now and Nov 2.....

40. "neophyte little man child president"?
Why doesn't he yell at Obama to get off his lawn?

Rush is just jealous because he KNOWS he'd never have a shot at ANY kind of elected political power. He'd be defeated for dogcatcher in rural Texas, and he KNOWS it.
