Limbaugh rips Fox All-Stars for criticizing McCain: ‘They have become elites.’
On his radio show today, conservative talker Rush Limbaugh toed the McCain campaign line and lashed out at the Fox All-Stars panel for their criticisms of McCain. He noted that during their post-debate analysis, the All-Stars — including Bill Kristol, Nina Easton, Mort Kondrake, and Juan Williams — were somewhat critical of McCain’s performance. “The Fox All-Stars, they’re not America,” Limbaugh concluded. “They have become elites”:
LIMBAUGH: You don’t know how hard this is for me to say folks, Roger Ailes is one of my closest friends. … Saw him this weekend, I spend a lot of social time with him. It is really hard for me to tell you what I really think about the Fox All stars reaction to this debate was last night. … The Fox All-Stars have become elites too.

October 16th, 2008 at 9:49 pmWell this is easy for me to say Rushingdownthedrugaddictionmountain You are a shameless propagandistic and putrid pile of hate and ignorance. YOU betray our country for the almighty dollar lying to and preying on the intellectual low haning fruit twisting them with your hate and stupid dishonest rhetoric. Better enjoy that money while it lasts because I suspect there is an extra specially hot corner of Hell warming up for you and your ilk

Hmmm… didn’t you REALLY mean to say, “What a suprise from the waterHEAD”?
October 16th, 2008 at 9:49 pmRush reminds me of an erudite version of the guy with the Curious George doll and Obama bumper sticker at the Strongsville, Ohio McCain rally last week.

October 16th, 2008 at 9:56 pmIsn’t Rush Limbaugh at the top of the Elites of Conservative Talk Radio?
October 16th, 2008 at 10:04 pmIt must be very difficult, when you make that much money, and have an ego the size of Alaska, to miss the urinal completely, pee on your own shoes and then have to go back out in public. Maybe he missed his meds.
October 16th, 2008 at 10:08 pmRush ‘The Mouth’ Limbaugh’s hate filled, bigoted, lying and extremist rantings should be laughed off the air even if he eats his own. How did these morally bankrupt and “emotionally retarded” wingnuts get on the air in the first place?
October 16th, 2008 at 10:12 pmRush is lying. He has no friends. Only the boys he pays for. And his OXY supplier.
October 16th, 2008 at 10:12 pmWait until Lush Rimjob finds out the Washington Post has endorsed Obama! All the wingnuts are starting to remind me of the “crazy cat-lady”. Holed up in their cellars with an old rusty shotgun, waiting for the imagined gang of “libruls” that never comes, and blaming each other for the fall of the traitors who have destroyed so much.

October 16th, 2008 at 10:23 pmDon’t look so sad, Rush, I’m sure Gretta will still kiss your shiny hiney.
October 16th, 2008 at 10:23 pmSpeaking of insane Reichwing boobs, have you heard about the outrage over Sen. Obama’s “personal flags”? He had the audacity to appear in front of the Ohio state flag! You really can’t make this stuff up.

um…
…
are you fu(king…are you fu(king kidding me? These are the same people most likely who will run around saying Obama is “unamerican” and “out of touch” and they don’t know A) What his actual campaign logo looks like, B) WHAT THE STATE FLAG OF OHIO LOOKS LIKE C) That generally it’s fairly common for the United States Flag and the flag of the state wherein the event is being held would be placed next to one another on stage…or with Old Glory on top, state flag on bottom if there were a flagpole…
I mean, really, when even MICHELLE fu(king MALKIN has to call you out on something…
I just don’t know what to say anymore.

It is surreal is it not? When I stumble upon these types of utter insanity I try, really try, to set aside my fear and just appreciate the absurd humor. When I realize that there are people who will allow themselves to believe such utter nonsense? I feel very fortunate.
October 16th, 2008 at 10:51 pmIs this the same Rush Limbaugh who hated John McCain and was really angry that he ended up the nominee.
Rush Limbaugh loves everyone who is a Republican and hates everyone who is a Democrat, no matter what the worth of the person he is judging.
A thoroughly detestable human being. I’m fairly sure his name is not on the entrance list to the pearly gates.
October 16th, 2008 at 11:03 pmSTFU fat a$$! Nobody with an IQ higher than a gnats really gives a crap what you think.
October 16th, 2008 at 11:08 pmThis is OT, but I’m so disgusted I have to say it somewhere. In the middle of Rachel Maddow’s show she cut to a fundraiser where both Obama and McCain were telling jokes. During McCain’s joke fest (which was actually often funny) Obama was seen smiling and really laughing and once or twice kind of cracking up. Whem Obama’s turn came, all McCain could do was to do his signature grimace smile for two seconds and then go back to the same look he had on his face for the whole debate. I have come to the point where McCain turns my stomach and makes me physically ill watching him. I can’t even imagine having to spend any time in this country with him as the President.
If there is a god, please don’t let them steal another one.
October 16th, 2008 at 11:09 pmRush is just scared because once Obama becomes our 44th president the irrelevant pill popping pig will start having to pay his fair share of taxes. Wahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
October 16th, 2008 at 11:09 pmLet’s see — Limpballs rakes in (couldn’t bring myself to use the word “earns”) $38 million a year off of pumping his ditto-head followers heads full of faux information and outrage, owns at least one multi-million $ oceanfront mansion in Palm Beach, FL, jets off to the Dominican Republic when he’s in the mood for Viagra action, and who can afford to buy his way out of a prison sentence for doctor shopping for prescription pain killers, sure is rich hearing the lard-ass call anyone else an “elite.”
Just saying . . .
October 16th, 2008 at 11:11 pmRush is a lard assed, drug addled, gas bag, who is nothing but a cheerleader for the lowest form of dirtbag the reichwingnuts have to offer. He also has been caught doing the little blue pill while chasing teenaged whores in the Dominican Republic. Rush is a joke to anyone with a brain.
October 16th, 2008 at 11:11 pmWhat! Not elitist commies?

This is a downer but my first response was:
I was appalled when I saw the two of them yucking it up with the likes of the evil Kissinger, top media people, etc…it almost made me think “they are really laughing at us” as they both represent our one party political system, they are just from different wings of the party.
October 16th, 2008 at 11:14 pmHow sad. The GOP elites are all getting into a fight. You think this could be frustration directly reflected from the current polls?
October 16th, 2008 at 11:15 pmMaybe Joe the Plumber can use his Ronco Recto-Reamer on Rush. It would be nice to not have to see his backed-up crap continuously dribbling out his oral orifice.
October 16th, 2008 at 11:26 pmIt’s always the fattest rat that’s left behind to go down with the ship.
October 16th, 2008 at 11:35 pmThis is not a thread to be upset about. Its too much fun watching the Republican Party implode. When Rush starts to call out FOX the cannibalistic feeding frenzy of the GOP eating its own is under way! I’m loving this! The neocons hijacked the Republican Party and just like everything George Bush has touched destroyed it too. I can’t wait to see who’s going to turn on whom first when it comes time to testify for the multitude of crimes committed the past 8 long years. Grab some ice cold beer and peanuts, this is going to be the best free entertainment in history!
October 16th, 2008 at 11:37 pmRUSH + FOX = TOTAL BUTT MUNCH
G-N-D-N.
Goes Nowhere – Does Nothing
October 16th, 2008 at 11:38 pmI thought I would never see the day when the GOP koolaid drinkers are at war with one another: Oxycondin Limpballs vs. Fox Clown Network. Priceless. Pass the popcorn please.
October 16th, 2008 at 11:50 pmRush: “Your head swims trying to keep up with them (Fox All-Stars).”
I’m pretty sure that head-swimming is Rush’s perpetual state.
October 16th, 2008 at 11:51 pmEating their own, what a delightful sight.
Roger Ailes is one of my closest friends.
Sooooo, do you guys share those little boys when you travel Rush?

My wife, who is totally neutral on this stuff thinks McCain is condescending, smarmy, and flat out creepy.
October 17th, 2008 at 12:18 amAnd Limbaugh is not elite? He signed a contract for 250,000,000 in 2001. I love these fake men of the people.
October 17th, 2008 at 5:38 amShouldn’t Republicans stone Rush to death for helping Obama win the primaries?
October 17th, 2008 at 6:51 amRelax, folks. This phony feud is nothing more than high drama designed to get your attention so you will be sure to tune in for the next act the next day.
October 17th, 2008 at 6:54 amNeither Fox nor Joe the Plumber can save McCain these days.
October 17th, 2008 at 7:04 amRush may be angry at what’s going on, and for once I can’t exactly blame him.
October 17th, 2008 at 7:18 amMccain is going to lose, and lose big. Maybe even a landslide. So now the minions are beginning the narrative: John blew it. It’s not a refutation of the Republican Party–just McCain’s lapse in judgment.
Mark my words, by 2010 the story will be “Crazy Mooselady Sarah Palin cost us the election.”
(She looked good on pape, but who knew that when she opened her mouth she would make howler after howler? Who knew?
(poor John McCain…great guy, but his judgment was beginning to fade…asked for a maverick, got a loonie…)
Rush may be angry that they’re laying down excuses for the defeat, because he still thinks he–HE–can AyersRezkoWrightAcorn Obama into oblivion.
rush needs his ass kicked.
it’s just that simple.
October 17th, 2008 at 7:21 amMy, my the All-Star carneys were called out by the oxi man from behind the big tent. The burnt out elephants shuffle their feet in parking lot gravel and try to wish memory away.
October 17th, 2008 at 7:22 amNo one listens anymore Herr Goebbels….
October 17th, 2008 at 7:25 amActually he just signed a new contract for $400 million last year.
If Rush doesn’t like it why doesn’t he run for President? Oh yeah, drug addicted, draft dodging, college dropout with even more skeletons would be unelectable. That is the source of his particular anger and bitterness. The only thing he accomplished has been spewing vile lies to mouth-breathing dolts that parrot his water carrying talking points. What a POS he is.
October 17th, 2008 at 7:29 amBy definition, what is elite?]
the group or part of a group selected or regarded as the finest, best, most distinguished, most powerful, etc.
So, getting paid 400 millions dollars is not considered elite?
October 17th, 2008 at 7:37 amWell, he’s definitely not the finest, nor the best, and surely not the most distinguished. But powerful? Unfortunately, money buys power. Just look at how many ditto heads nod in agreement without actually thinking.
Oxybreath, you sir (?) are an elitist.
Well, by definition, 1/4th elitist, but still one none the less!
I think Limbaugh fans should be forced to identify themselves before performing any business.
That way we can be sure not to hire them the same way I refuse to hire any contractor that shows up with a confederate flag on their truck.
October 17th, 2008 at 7:47 amWhat’s to be done with Limbaugh after Obama’s victory? Reinstate the Fairness Doctrine, break up the media conglomerates. He is a cancer on political discourse in the U.S. and like any cancer must be removed. America cannot wait for him to self-destruct. America itself must insure that he is destroyed.

This is the latest episode of Rush’s war with the Totally Obvious Meaning of Words.
Look, aren’t “all-stars” by definition elite? It’s like he just ate glue and is now complaining because the label said “adhesive”.
October 17th, 2008 at 8:34 amRusty is a human ass pustule.
October 17th, 2008 at 8:45 amOf course, Limbaugh will be making the rounds of other media outlets this weekend to explain his point of view and he will then allow others to challenge his assertions, right? How does El-Rush-bo sleep at night knowing when he speaks into his mic that his “audience” includes that dullard from Minnesota at the McCain rally who called Obama an “Arab.”
October 17th, 2008 at 8:46 amMaybe I’m just having a blond moment……and I’m a redhead…but didn’t Limpbough say he wouldn’t vote for McPander. As dod Man Coulter. And several of their ilk.
October 17th, 2008 at 9:09 amWell let me get this straight … this fat blow hard sits in has 5 million dollar cottage in Palm Beach spewing the crap he does. But he’s not elitist right??
October 17th, 2008 at 9:17 amThe first time I ever heard Rush Limbaugh was in 94/95. I was working for a small IT business and my boss had his car radio pre-tuned to Rush so I was forced to listen to it when we drove to meet clients.
My first impression was “wow, this guy has a serious inside track to politicians” because he name-dropped a lot. He was very energetic and talked about various political intrigues that sounded quite interesting to my untrained ear, but I didn’t listen too closely as my Boss and I naturally talked about our business for the day.
The next time we drove together I was pretty settled in my job and we had less to discuss so I could actually listen to Rush.
I remember Rush saying something like; “The Democrats are power crazy, they’ll do anything to get it to turn America into a socialist state and then you can kiss all your hard earned-money goodbye!”
Having experienced at least three Labour government terms I had a pretty good idea of what socialism was actually like and the Democrat platform certainly didn’t come anywhere close. So that was rubbish, and then he went off on some rant. The details were rather lost on me but the illogic wasn’t. This guy is confused and confusing, in fact he’s an effing idiot, I thought.
“Hey John” I said to my boss, “this guy’s an effing idiot!”
“Oh no, he’s great!” said John.
The weird thing is that my boss, John, was otherwise very, very bright and really generous to me. I think he was most attuned to the Rush’s gung-ho capitalist rhetoric whilst the actual philosophical and political and social propaganda didn’t consciously register. But he must have absorbed it without knowing it as Rush was a daily companion for him.
October 17th, 2008 at 9:24 amLove it! Limpbaugh’s America is melting away. Ahhhhhhhhhhh!!! You cursed brats! Look what you’ve done!! I’m melting, melting. …
October 17th, 2008 at 9:34 amMethinks The Pretenders wish they could get their song back from Limbaugh. Ironically the song title is My City was Gone.

October 17th, 2008 at 9:52 amGlenn Beck has joined Fox Noise.
October 17th, 2008 at 10:06 amGood riddance to him from CNN. I know many of us have frequently contacted CNN with complaints about Beck; although I think the reason he left CNN was not only to join friendly comrades, but for the money.
Republicans always are motivated by money, and money only.
And the Purge marches on.
October 17th, 2008 at 10:19 amRush is like he’s strung out, jonesing for another Oxy. It’s starting to show.
I predict that the morning after the election they find him, a la Elvis, sitting on his toilet stone cold.

Watching the Obama speech noticing the Ohio state flag in the background, I kinda figured that some rightwing talkradio moron would think the “O” stands for Obama and go apeshit about it. And sure enough I figured correctly..

October 17th, 2008 at 1:55 pmRush Limbaugh has had his 15 minutes of fame… (20 years worth, in fact) time to move on to the new kid in town….
Its a sad thing to watch though…
October 17th, 2008 at 1:59 pmThere was so much talk about the democrats being a divided party, but it didn’t happen. The only party that is divided is the republican party. Is this irony, or are the republicans always playing this opposite card by constantly accusing the Democrats of being what they are themselves? Divided, elite, hateful, voting fraud… the list goes on and on.
October 17th, 2008 at 3:59 pmWasn’t Limbaugh the one who said that if McCain or Huckabee were elected that it would destroy the republican party…?
