		<description>The Republicans seem hellbent on destroying their party. This country is facing a rough road ahead of it and this party is putting their idealogy ahead of the country. The Democratic Party did not steal or buy this election. The election gave the Democratic party the leadership position for a reason, period! If the Republicans continue to obstruct this president&#039;s efforts, then they may find themselves marginalized even further by the country. (we still are a democracy) At this point in our country&#039;s history, we desperatly need a loyal opposition. Is the Republican Party up to the &quot;Challange&quot;? From what I can see so far they are behaving like a bunch of clowns!</description>

		<description>Why are his comments being taken so far out of context? I don&#039;t see him in ANY WAY being racist, that is, &quot;hatred or intolerance of another race or other races&quot;. He is simply stating that obama is getting his support by using his race. Minorities saw a black man running for president and nothing else mattered, just the fact that they wanted to see a black man in office. The praise and adulation for obama stemmed NOT from his political accomplishments, but rather for his &quot;grand&quot; ideas (socialism&quot;) and his race. Wow, there&#039;s a minority running for the highest office in the US! Am I racist now for that comment? Is that racist? I couldn&#039;t care less if there was a black man in office, or a mexican, or a chinese person, or . Race does not make who we are. But in this case, race was wrongly used to manipulate voters within the minority groups. How many blogs did were out there saying, &quot;obama wants change...Oh, and he&#039;s BLACK, too&quot;? Seriously. Quit taking Rush Limbaugh&#039;s words out of context just because he gets your panties up in a bunch. Just because he says what pro-abortion anti-freedom liberals (there, georgeorwell!) don&#039;t like apparently means no intelligent debate can exist, just a bunch of mindless off-topic trashing. Thank you, liberals, for proving the point!</description>

		<description>Rush seems fixated on this homoerotic imagery.  The expression &quot;The lady doth protest too much, methinks&quot; comes to mind!

Rush has used this imagery twice within the past couple of days and once back a few years ago.  Why, I ask, does he keep repeating this?

I cannot think of sny self-respecting person who would want to &quot;have his way&quot; with Rush...

		<description>Have you guys seen what Robert Reich the Economic communist said on CNN you can see reverse discrimination towards middle class Americans (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=opxuUj6vFa4) .  I am not sure why people voted for this Neanderthal man. He is a lawyer (liar). All democrats want is for us to pay higher taxes and give the poor a free ride.</description>

		<description>Maybe Limberger hasn&#039;t been arrested for soliciting yet because, on the radio, no one can see his &quot;wide stance&quot; or whether he&#039;s giving the secret hand signal when he&#039;s talking about bending over. We need to get an undercover cop into the studio. xD 

&lt;blockquote&gt; LTdan Says: 
you don’t see conservatives crying about leftist talk show hosts. &lt;/blockquote&gt;

Oh, no, never. Not &lt;strong&gt;one&lt;/strong&gt; rant, &lt;strong&gt;anywhere&lt;/strong&gt;, about Al Franken, Rachel Maddow, Keith Olbermann, public radio...Not at all! 

pete, re: post 143
Boy do I wish I hadn&#039;t followed that link.  Somebody here mentioned mental floss.  That won&#039;t be enough. After reading some of the hateful trash on that site, I need about a dozen showers cuz I feel coated in a slime of the most foul, vile substances, the outer layer of which is shiny yet nauseating--and transparent. Amazing these people can be so smugly, hypocritically, ignorantly certain not only that they are right and the rest of the world--even other Christians (whom they don&#039;t accept as such)-- are wrong but they are such good, holy,[self-]righteous people!!  I saw one poster mocking another for suggesting compassion in a thread about Obama ending Bush&#039;s torture policies. Um, compassion is largely what that fellow they claim to worship preached, was it not?

@Wayne A. Schneider re: post 183
I don&#039;t trust Hillary, or her husband. She&#039;s an ambitious opportunist. I think she will carry out Obama&#039;s policies rather than her own but only because she knows that if she f***s this up, it&#039;ll hurt her future chance at POTUS. 

Also, no, I did not feel safer under W.  Just the opposite.  He was responsible for spying on citizens, the 100-mile border zone, designated protest areas and other frightening signs of eroding civil liberties and leanings toward a police state.  He stirred up worldwide disapproval and hatred against us.  Now that the mad-cowboy is gone, the world is letting out a sigh of relief along with us, and al Queda is panicking because their main recruitment tool (such an appropo word for 43) is gone and Obama&#039;s jumping right into the effort to clean up after him. Lord knows, that&#039;s a helluva lot of Elephant poo to get rid of...</description>

		<description>With all due respect, Rush, I am being told no such thing. I can make up my mind as to whether I like Obama or not. As a matter of fact, I bet his &quot;radical&quot; middle of the road approach is just driving you nuts, isn&#039;t it?

		<description>Rush loves flirting with racism and firing up the racist base of his herd. 

I must disclaim that not all of Rush&#039;s sheep are racist, nor are all Republicans racist, in both cases most are not. However, I can pretty much guarantee you that if you find a racist 9 times out of 10 they are likely to be Republican or father right leaning and listen to Rush.

He feeds these people what they hunger for... justification for their hate. 

Conversely of course this isn&#039;t a one way street. Admittedly we blacks also have our voices of hate. Rush is like Farrakhan. And he should be admonished and made into a pariah like any other demagogue.

And Hannity is demon possessed.</description>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;Wayne A. Schneider Says:

I’ll give you an answer I bet you didn’t expect. &lt;/em&gt;

Thank you.  I was hoping for a real answer, but your right, I expected what I got from;

&lt;em&gt;republicans hate facts Says: 
As opposed to BUSH and RUSH’S POLICIES which include PLACATING FASCIST DICTATORS while undermining ANY DEMOCRACY that isn’t run by a FASCIST DICTATOR? All the while BANKROLLING, TRAINING and SUPPLYING TERRORIST ORGANIZATIONS like AL QAEDA? Then being willing to use SEDITION and ANTI-CONSTITUTIONAL MEASURES to POWER GRAB? Yeah, by contrast &lt;strong&gt;I’m sure there’s little difference between Clinton and Obama!&lt;/strong&gt; Compared to SEDITIONIST TERRORIST SYMPATHIZERS like YOU GOP TARDS that CLAIM TO BE INDEPENDENT (OLiely anyone?) there must really seem to be no differences at all!!! ROTFL!!&lt;/em&gt;

As you can see, she/he did not answer the question (was there an agreement that there is not much difference?)

It may surprise you that I did vote for Hillary in the primary but then changed to McCain in the general election.  My family is a military family and it is my opinion that Obama does not really understand what he is walking into. He is obviously intelligent, but that is not what I mean.  If Hillary would have won the nomination, I would have most likely voted for her.  It is also my opinion that we need a military leader.  Obama has great leadership qualities, but will it be enough.  Our safety is a big thing to risk.
I&#039;ve been to the middle east both as a soldier and a civilian.  The people that I have met and shared time with have conflicting opinions but one thing was clear, they all hated and feared the government of Iraq.  In the Gulf war we (82nd Airborne) were greeted as liberators.  Even when we invaded with the ground force, the norm was mass surrendering, not fighting.  We should have finished it then and saved the lives of our boy and girls now, but we didn&#039;t.  That was a mistake by Bush senior that Bush junior was not going to make.
I&#039;m rambling, but again, thank you for an honest answer.  I truly hope that Obama can make decisions that will protect us all, but that is all I have now, hope.  At least with Bush I felt safe.  How about you?</description>

<p>As you can see, she/he did not answer the question (was there an agreement that there is not much difference?)</p>
<p>It may surprise you that I did vote for Hillary in the primary but then changed to McCain in the general election.  My family is a military family and it is my opinion that Obama does not really understand what he is walking into. He is obviously intelligent, but that is not what I mean.  If Hillary would have won the nomination, I would have most likely voted for her.  It is also my opinion that we need a military leader.  Obama has great leadership qualities, but will it be enough.  Our safety is a big thing to risk.<br />
I&#8217;ve been to the middle east both as a soldier and a civilian.  The people that I have met and shared time with have conflicting opinions but one thing was clear, they all hated and feared the government of Iraq.  In the Gulf war we (82nd Airborne) were greeted as liberators.  Even when we invaded with the ground force, the norm was mass surrendering, not fighting.  We should have finished it then and saved the lives of our boy and girls now, but we didn&#8217;t.  That was a mistake by Bush senior that Bush junior was not going to make.<br />
I&#8217;m rambling, but again, thank you for an honest answer.  I truly hope that Obama can make decisions that will protect us all, but that is all I have now, hope.  At least with Bush I felt safe.  How about you?<a href="javascript:void(0)" title=""  onmouseover="window.status=''; return true" onmouseout="window.status=''; return true" onclick="ddrc_popup('http://thinkprogress.org/wp-content/plugins/dd-report-comments/report.php?c=5447922', 400, 400)"></a></p>

		<description>No, not yet Rush.

But your time is coming and you will be called on to feel the full effects of the liberal/progressive thrust of viagra.

If he wants to assume that position now and hold that position until his unyeilding right wing principals are proven to bend.  Well, he can invite Hannity and the gang over for some fun.

I really do feel sad for poor old Rushbo.  He must be so frightened with all this progressive/liberal/ Democtatic movement all around his gated community.</description>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;McE Says:

Go, Rush, go!

Give him all the airtime he wants. Let him talk and talk and talk. Let him be the public face of the Republican party.

Because as long as the Limbaughs, Hannitys and Coulters dominate the right side of the dialog, we’ll never have to worry about a Republican majority again.&lt;/em&gt;



&lt;strong&gt;AMEN!!&lt;/strong&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;Independant Says: 

Question: what was the difference between Clinton’s proposed policies and Obama’s during the primary? They seemed very similar so why choose one over the other?&lt;/em&gt;

I&#039;ll give you an answer I bet you didn&#039;t expect.  I&#039;m from New York.  I supported and voted for Barack Obama over Hillary Clinton because Sen Clinton lied to us.  She asked us to send her back to the Senate in 2006 claiming that she hadn&#039;t given any thought to running for president two years later.  So my lack of support for her bid to be president had more to do with my wanting her to stay in NY and represent us.  Obviously, that won&#039;t happen now.  I tried.

Furthermore, Sen Clinton, IMHO, had still not seen the errors of her ways in voting for the Iraq War Resolution.  Nor did she seem all that eager to want to bring an end to the war.  And before you bring it up, I do not believe that she will run the State Dept according to &lt;em&gt;her&lt;/em&gt; policies.  But I do believe that President Obama expressed his support that she would run it according to his policies, and I believe she will.

Race and gender had nothing to do with my decision.</description>

By definition, Sedition is an illegal action.  As far as I know, we still have the basic right of free speech.  Unless there was a presidential order I missed yesterday.

Here is a word that you may want to consider, placate.  Not for Rush.
