Rush Limbaugh is irrelevant.
Yes. And his point is?
March 21st, 2007 at 12:06 pmRush is definitely not irrelevant. He’s very relevant to the people who illegally supply him with his prescription drugs.
March 21st, 2007 at 12:06 pmtalk about yer sideshows – who would want to see “the incredible pill-poppin fat lady” take on “the incredible steroid-gobbling kaiser wilhelm”??
March 21st, 2007 at 12:10 pm“Rush Limbaugh is irrelevant. I’m not his servant.â€
I don’t agree. A lot of water-carriers pour the same water he carries for these criminals, not just the ones who come on here. I find it funny Arnold said that, still I won’t be listening.
March 21st, 2007 at 12:12 pmYaaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwwwwwwn.
March 21st, 2007 at 12:14 pmIf you’re not his servant, why are you even giving him the time of day?
March 21st, 2007 at 12:16 pmYeah a liberal in disquise its another hollywood liberal elite go figure!
March 21st, 2007 at 12:18 pmI love Rush. He will own this SELLOUT.
March 21st, 2007 at 12:19 pmif he is so irrelevant, why had ahnold ASKED to appear on his show?
March 21st, 2007 at 12:19 pmRush isn’t irrelevant-he helped put the Rethugs in the minority for years to come.
March 21st, 2007 at 12:19 pmHeckofajob Rushblow.
What are you, a big girly-man? Is your name Annette?
March 21st, 2007 at 12:20 pmAt least Rush is an honest guy and he believes in family values. He doesn’t need this non american hollywood telling him what to do.
March 21st, 2007 at 12:21 pmHe will own this SELLOUT.
Comment by firehead
For the first, and perhaps last time, I will agree with you, Arnold IS a sellout. But as we learned the day after the 2006 elections, so is Rush.
March 21st, 2007 at 12:23 pm**yawn**
I guess this is an open thread?
March 21st, 2007 at 12:23 pmAt least Rush is an honest guy and he believes in family values. He doesn’t need this non american hollywood telling him what to do.
Comment by Jamie Kinstle Wapakoneta OH
The only time Rush was ever honest was when he admitted to carrying the water for this regime. I almost fell out of my chair when I read your delusional post
March 21st, 2007 at 12:24 pmActually, Arnold S. is just another goose-stepping Republican: he has been marching right along with the Bush crime family on most issues for the last several years. Arnold’s father served in something like the SS in the German world war II war machine in Austria.
Bush’s father admired the Saudi Kings (dictators). Bush’s grandfather and greatgrandfather supported and funded Hitler and the German Nazi Party in the 1930s and 1940s, until FDR put a stop to it by invoking the Trading With the Enemy Act in 1942…
It’s hard to escape from your family roots and family traditions…
March 21st, 2007 at 12:25 pmO how I hate ohio state
March 21st, 2007 at 12:25 pmI like Rush cuz I’m not too smart and he tells me what to think.
March 21st, 2007 at 12:26 pm12 – Yes he does – manson family values
March 21st, 2007 at 12:26 pmAt least Rush is an honest guy and he believes in family values.
Comment by Jamie Kinstle Wapakoneta OH
You have GOT to be kidding,right?
March 21st, 2007 at 12:27 pmThat is a joke,isn’t it? LOL
I love Rush.

What’s your favorite? 2112 or Moving Pictues?
March 21st, 2007 at 12:28 pmUh family values, Rush Limbaugh? Thats a good one, how many times divorced? No kids (I would guess) and goes to the Dominican Republic to have sex with prostitutes, (children). Yeah sure.
March 21st, 2007 at 12:30 pm“At least Rush is an honest guy and he believes in family values.”
I think she meant Rush loves to go to tiny island nations and love other people’s families/children.
March 21st, 2007 at 12:31 pmComment by Zooey — March 21, 2007 @ 12:23 pm
Hey Zooey – the trolls are making me sleepy today too.
March 21st, 2007 at 12:34 pmPretty funny though Rush and Arnie having a spat. Republicans are so sensitive that this is a big deal for them.
And Rush wants his mommy.
Maybe they can do a movie together…

Comment by dlet
Oh my God, my favorite group of all time. I think Moving Pictures was by far the best. I really liked Permanent Waves also. Some of best stuff ever made in my opinion. Seriously.
March 21st, 2007 at 12:37 pmI’m giving this irrelevant thread only one post:
Arnold to Rush: “I’ll be back!
March 21st, 2007 at 12:38 pm#22:
That’s it. That is how Rethug “family values” are defined.
If Bill Clinton had cheated with a male page or a male prostitute or even a choir boy, he would have remained within the acceptable range of “conservative family values”.
March 21st, 2007 at 12:41 pmgoes to the Dominican Republic to have sex with prostitutes, (children). Yeah sure.
Comment by ForTruth — March 21, 2007 @ 12:30 pm
hell, fortruth – go for the gold!
goes to the Dominican Republic to have sex with
March 21st, 2007 at 12:47 pmCHILD prostitutes.
it’s Jamie as in James. Figures you hippies would side with Arnold the minute he trashes Rush. At least Rush tells it like it is! And if you had any argumant you wouldn’t have to name call.
March 21st, 2007 at 12:59 pm“A Farewell To Kings” is my favorite Rush album, rather apropriate now as it was then…
March 21st, 2007 at 1:05 pmThe album cover is very relevant, it shows a demented looking jester type wearing a crown, sitting warped to one side on a throne, in the midst of a bombed out, polluted industrial wasteland…
32 – is that why Rush never “calls names”????????????????????
dittohead.
cultist.
it’s got to be depressing that Heaven’s Gate, Branch Davidian, and the Moonies all rejected your applications, but hey, the bush cult isn’t altogether bad, after all the Rev. Moon provides it considerable backing.
March 21st, 2007 at 1:07 pmVery familiar with the Farewell to Kings album cover, I have em’ all.
March 21st, 2007 at 1:10 pmRush tells it AS it is for rich white men. His particular genius is that he gets white men who are not and will never be rich to think he is one of them. And of course, playing to the resentment of the never-will-haves has always been good business.
H.L. Mencken was right – you’ll never go broke underestimating the good taste of the American people.
March 21st, 2007 at 1:10 pmRush is so irrelevant that when ever the media can, and Liberals can they go after him and try to destroy him….
If he is so irrelevant, why make a whole forum in thinkprogress.org, right?
why take a swing at a fly if it s irrelevant? why are any of you guys talking about him if he is so irrelevant? silly little liberals….
you liberals lack any type of logic…
thinkprogress.org is run by pathetic partisan hacks….i laugh at their inferior intellect….
March 21st, 2007 at 1:13 pmTo #21: Rush’s Moving Pictures was one of their best.
The song “Witch Hunt” is so appropriate to today’s religious right theocons.
“Quick to judge; quick to anger; slow to understand. Ignorance and prejudice and fear walk hand in hand.”
March 21st, 2007 at 1:24 pmhowsad sez:
Actually, you’re a bit confused on that issue, HS (not surprising, considering how easily you get ‘confused’ in general…).
The ‘media’ isn’t going after Rush, trying to destroy him…they just faithfully report his latest, idiotic, self-destructive act.
Claiming that the ‘media’ is trying to ‘destroy’ Rush is about as bright as claiming that the evening news was responsible for setting the warehouse fire they reported on last night.
Actually, HS, it’s a ‘thread’, not a ‘forum’. Subtle, but important difference there. Look it up if you’re still ‘confused’.
Because it’s irritating?
Same reason we kick you up and down this board all day…because you’re an irritant, and it feels good to scratch once in a while. ^_^
The irony-meter isn’t even plugged in, and it’s still going off…
Perhaps you should master basic spelling, punctuation, capitalization, and grammar before you start yammering on about ‘inferior intellects’. Just a thought…
March 21st, 2007 at 1:34 pmNice TP. This proves once again you are not about the issues or about whether someone is doing a good job. You simply attack anyone for being a repug. The California governer has done more to fight Global warming then any single Dem could dream of. he has also set up massive amounts of money for Stem Cell research and has brought the state back from the brink of bankrupcy. All these things are supposed to be Dem issues but you don’t care about the issues. Everytime I forget for a second and think your sincere, you remind me that isn’t the truth. I wish someone in politics, just once, could be about doing what is right and what is in the best interests of the people. Once again, you attack simply for potential political gain. Luckily, the people of that state are not that stupid. This man is tackling the largest problem man has ever faced and is doing a wonderful job at it. If anything, you folks should be congradulating him and seeing what you can do to get behind him. Instead, you attack him for getting interviewed. Why can’t someone get interviewed anyways? He said Rush is irrelevant which he is along with all the other media losers. That certainly doesn’t mean you can’t get interviewed by them. If no one did, we wouldn’t know what they stood for.
March 21st, 2007 at 1:38 pmTony,
I was thinking of that song Witch Hunt recently as well.
March 21st, 2007 at 1:45 pmForTruth:
Indeed…Witch Hunt is a remarkable commentary on the right-wing Fundamentalists:

#39tripmonkey….
oh you poor fool, logic and grammar have nothing to do with each other. but what can we expect from a poor little liberal.
Einstein was the most illogical person in the world if we use your ridiculous assertions.
but it never fails, when liberals don’t have anything intelligent to add to these forums all they can do is attack grammar and spelling.
did your mother drop you too many times on your head?
once again little one, if Rush is so irrelevant why even bother making a whole thread about him?
don’t expect you to give an intelligent and well thought out response, it is just a rhetorical question. you do know what that means, right?
March 21st, 2007 at 1:51 pmAhnold is such a hypocrite.
March 21st, 2007 at 1:57 pmRush is a complete coward and unpatriotic – putting his party before his country. This is evident in his response to Dems taking over both houses. He actually said he was “relieved” that it happened because he “didn’t have to be carrying their water anymore”. So basically he said that he was actively lying and going against his true beliefs in order to protect his power. Thus putting the betterment of his party OVER the betterment of the American people. Could there be anything more unpatriotic than this?
March 21st, 2007 at 2:40 pmArnold might be pissed;
- that Rush is stealing his show.
Rush has been acting the terminator lately –
with his very big and loud mouth.
I guess the terminator only wanted a chance;
About who really knew how to bomb;
about how we could effectively blitz –
and wipe out Iran,
but Rush has taken the lead.
Atimes, it hard to really judge:

#40 Roger_Roger…
March 21st, 2007 at 3:36 pmyou know not what you speak.
Arnold backtracks on just about everything.
He was brought down to earth by the California Nurses Association; Teachers Association; FireFighters and the many citizens who voted down his repugnant ballot measures.
He’s a typical republican…name call and attempt to belittle.
If that doesn’t work then maybe you join the majority (calling Rush irrelevant and then wanting to appear on the show… uhmm.
If you hate someone, go on their show… and tell them you hate them.
Let’s hope that’s what happens!
March 21st, 2007 at 4:17 pmExcellent TripMaster.
March 21st, 2007 at 4:31 pmAhnold may kiss Rush’s ring, but Limpdick can kiss MY ASS!!!
March 21st, 2007 at 6:35 pmso, any ditto heads want to share the story of
March 21st, 2007 at 7:46 pmahnold’s visit to ditto-land?
or anyone? … how did it go? i haven’t heard a thing…
“Rush Limburger is IRRELEVANT…I am NOT his SERVANT……” SAID AH-NOLD GROPENFUHRER…..”I AM HIS SLAVE!!!!! MAHSTER Rush, PUT YOUR ELEPHANTINE FOOT ON MY HEAD….NO, NOT THAT HEAD, THE ONE THAT SMOKES THE CANCER-CAUSING STOGIES YOU AND I LOVE TO PUFF AWAY AT SO MUCH!!!!!” FASCIST-NAZI TURDS OF A FEATHER STICK TOGETHER AND MUST BE FLUSHED DOWN THE CRAPPER TOGETHER, NATCH!!!!! The “GYRATING DERVISH” Rush Limburger and The “LYING HYPOCRITE TWO-BIT THESPIAN” Arnold Schwarzenegger, THE FAT-F*CK WHO BECAME A FASCIST-NAZI and the MUSCULAR QUEER WHO WAS BORN A FASCIST-NAZI!!!!! HAH!
March 21st, 2007 at 8:08 pmhowsad:
I don’t understand why you are saying liberals are calling Rush “irrelevant”, they weren’t – Arnold did. But in context Arnold meant Rush was irrelevant to his policies in CA (Rush isn’t a citizen of CA…). This is pretty obvious, and I feel bad to have to point it out.
(this bit above is also directed at Roger_Roger who doesn’t understand who is calling who irrelevant)
Now you can continue calling Arnold a “sellout” because he disagrees with Rush, but you’re just making yourself look dumb.
March 22nd, 2007 at 9:34 amHAHA
have you read the transcript from the interview? Arnold and Rush are not buddy buddy. They fight the whole interview and disagree with each other on almost everything. I think you owe the govenor an apoligy today. He told Rush he is working to provide Universal Health Care and get tougher on Global Warming. If he didn’t have an (R) after his name, everyone would assume he is a lefty after hearing this.
March 22nd, 2007 at 11:07 amYou almost had me there, Ahnuld..
March 22nd, 2007 at 11:46 amRoger_Roger, I did read the interview – and I read two friends having a disagrement about issues. As far as I knew this was acceptable, even among members of the same political party. I saw Arnold talking about working with Democrats and Rush saying that was throwing one’s principles away. I think it’s easy to spot who the fanatic in that conversation is. But the overall point is Arnold calling Rush “irrelevant” was only about him not answering to someone who is not a resident of his state.
