GOP Leaders Embrace Rush Limbaugh As Their ‘Unofficial Leader’
GOP Leaders Embrace Rush Limbaugh As Their ‘Unofficial Leader’
The Los Angeles Times’ Faye Fiore and Mark Z. Barabak observe that “Rush Limbaugh has his grip on the GOP microphone,” having become “the politically wounded party’s unofficial leader.” Limbaugh — who has declared his sincere hope that Barack Obama will fail — has seen his “prominence and political import” increased.
One example of Limbaugh’s influence, unmentioned in the article, is the fact that he coined the messaging strategy for stimulus opponents, referring to the economic recovery package as “porkulus.” On his Jan. 23 radio show, Limbaugh said “it’s not a stimulus, it’s a porkulus.” On his Jan. 28 show, Limbaugh introduced the term to Rep. Eric Cantor (R-VA):
LIMBAUGH: You could call this the “porkulus.”
CANTOR: Right. (laughing) Let me tell you something. It is porkulus. That’s a great description.
Limbaugh cynically wrote in the Wall Street Journal, “This ‘porkulus’ bill is designed to repair the Democratic Party’s power losses from the 1990s forward, and to cement the party’s majority power for decades.”
Eventually, Limbaugh’s phrase trickled down to Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA), who embraced the term. Watch it:
Bloomberg’s Hans Nichols wrote recently, “Every superhero needs an archenemy. President Barack Obama has yet to find one.” Rush Limbaugh is eager to acquire that role. And Obama has helped assign it to him when he made a private comment to conservative lawmakers about the right-wing radio host that quickly leaked out. “You can’t just listen to Rush Limbaugh and get things done,” Obama told top GOP leaders in a White House meeting.

Repugniscum are pretty pathetic aren’t they?
February 8th, 2009 at 1:31 pmGO LIMBAUGH!!!!
February 8th, 2009 at 1:35 pmPerrrrfect. Rush is the epitome of Repuglycan values. College dropout, draft dodging coward. Perrrrfuct.
February 8th, 2009 at 1:36 pmOk, so we take out the PORK, what that leaves is tax cuts for the WEALTHY again………keep taking your marching orders from Limpballs like good little Goose Steppers you are and see where it gets you, most like out of office in 2010.
February 8th, 2009 at 1:37 pmWould it be proper to say that Rush’s corpus is porkulous also?
February 8th, 2009 at 1:38 pmRUCERIOUS… you forgot to mention that this good little republican, this limbaugh fellow, doesn’t think the laws apply to him either.
February 8th, 2009 at 1:39 pmRushulus, is for Tax cutulous, for the pigulous, amongst themuous. Rushulous is treasonous.
February 8th, 2009 at 1:42 pmSo, if the thrice-divorced Rush Limbaugh is going to be the “unofficial leader” of the Republican Party, does this mean an end to the bullshit about the “sanctity of marriage”?
February 8th, 2009 at 1:46 pmGo Rush

before you catch it, I meant mob Not Mog
February 8th, 2009 at 1:48 pmRush, Cantor, and the Rs discussing the stimulus are like Homer Simpson discussing a pig: “oh, like there’s some magical animal” that gives us pork chops, bacon, ham, etc. Brain-dead idiots!
February 8th, 2009 at 1:49 pmNotice how Rush says he hopes Obama fails. That means he believes there’s a chance he will succeed. It’s quite telling. Rush would rather see our country crumble than to be proven wrong. What a sad, sad man.

You are a sad littel Goose Stepper that a hates Ameica`s middle and working class who lves to be led by a hate filled re-puke party that is all about it`s party and not for America.
February 8th, 2009 at 1:51 pmThe GOP follows the traitor Limbaugh. Hoping for the president’s failure, isn’t that what this nation’s enemies do? HE said it! Country first (unless we don’t get our way) then we’ll trash the place. That’s the GOP way that lead to this economic catastrophe in the first place. Oh heck, we’re republicans, we’re going to trash the country either way.
February 8th, 2009 at 1:51 pmJeanette?
February 8th, 2009 at 1:52 pmGo phuq
The Rushbo is what might be termed as ‘long pork’, a special treat for his friends and adherents, sort of like the folks in the Donner Pass.
The Dims chose an erudite, rational, well spoken individual capable of chancing diminishing his own person power by reaching across the aisle. Did I mention he has a real degree?
The Repugs pick a drug addled, hate spewing, entertainer who resembles the former head of the FBI, both physically and morally and has a sole claim to fame of being able rouse the rabble.
Will this be a Texas Cage match?
February 8th, 2009 at 1:53 pmJeanette, dearest…With all due respect and affection
Please go phuque yourself, as I doubt you could convince anyone else to do it…
February 8th, 2009 at 1:54 pmAlso, too bad the Administration doesn’t get along with Dr. Dean. I would pay good money to see him take on the gasbag.

I fail to see how “crudeness” relates to “sanctity”. Perhaps something I do know more about than you is the meaning of words. The Republican Party, the ones who just annointed Rush Limbaugh their “unofficial leader”, has been making the claims about the “sanctity of marriage” as their argument against allowing same-sex marriages. So, if same-sex marriages shouldn’t be allowed because “marriage is sacred”, then why are they choosing a man who has been married three times, and divorced (never a widower) three times?
And, no, I’m 48 years old. How young are you? Ten?
BTW, were you attacking me personally (in which case you could have addressed me in particular), or were you addressing everyone (in which case you should not presume that I speak for my fellow posters)?
February 8th, 2009 at 1:55 pmJeanette probably thinks Raygun Ronnie was a great one to. because he put us into debt far more than all previous presidents put together and Cinton left the W.H. with a surplus which geirgie Boy sqandered reaL QICK. Tax cuts don`t work in a recesion just look at geoergie Boys $1.3 trillion tax cuts and see where we are today, Little Goose Stepper.
February 8th, 2009 at 1:55 pmAnd, jeanette, I’m still looking for an answer about those worms.
February 8th, 2009 at 1:55 pmI see jeanette is now over here, trying to engage liberals in her own unique brand of polite conversation.
Anyone laying odds on trajan being jeanette?
February 8th, 2009 at 1:58 pmPork is something Rush should be very familiar with. Unless he has some immigrant pool boy shaving him. O Never mind, wrong end.
February 8th, 2009 at 1:58 pmOur public discourse leans so heavily to the right, it makes my head spin.
If a prominent liberal had said that he/she hoped George W. Bush would “fail” at any point during the past eight years, the crucifixion would have been swift and sure. The word traitor would be repeated endlessly. Wouldn’t you love to have that Republican free pass to say anything that comes into your head?
Going Back in Time

It goes along with the ‘Get Out of Jail Free’ card. With luck, they all have an expiration date…about a week from now.
February 8th, 2009 at 2:01 pmThough he was criticised for it here, I agree with barfly when he commented that Obama should have never mentioned Limbaugh. There is no need to put that slob in the same conversation as the POTUS.
It’s a good idea to make Rush the face of the Rethug party, but that should be left to surrogates, not Obama.
Can’t you just imagine Fatso, after hearing that Obama mentioned him, celebrate by swallowing 10 Oxy. and a couple Viagra and making himself all greasy for a few days?
Let’s not give that “Porkulus” the pleasure.
AIO
February 8th, 2009 at 2:01 pmIf Rush REALLY wants to get rid of the pork, he should go on a diet.
The GOP leadership and the bombastic, bellicose blowhard make excellent bedfellows. Neither has a firm grip on reality.
February 8th, 2009 at 2:03 pmYou have got to love the REICH,they just keep on opening their little Goose Stepping mouths and NOTHING really comes out, because we have heard it all before and it`s all very OLD,TIRED and USELESS SPEW.Will somebody explain to these people that TAX cuts don`t work in a recession, Gov`t spending does a whole lot more.
February 8th, 2009 at 2:04 pmWoodrow Wlson, Harding and Hoover all cut taxes and raised spending.
February 8th, 2009 at 2:05 pmReagan, Bush 41 and Bush 43 all cut taxes and raised spending.

Perry, even those who said that they believed that Bush’s policies would fail were quickly labeled traitors. All it took was to disagree with the Bush maladministration.
February 8th, 2009 at 2:08 pmGood – It’s long past time we had a decisive confrontation between the “Rational America” and the “America that runs on dumb”.
The “Dittohead Nation” is about to become the white-belt-and-shoes, or mullet cut of American social/civil discourse, and it should’ve happened 25 years ago.
February 8th, 2009 at 2:10 pmLet’s see, first we have a certified Republican Member of Congress saying publicly they should embrace Taliban philosophy. Now we have the same people saying they should get their orders from a radio entertainer.

And Rush is doing his level best to make that come true.
The 2006 and 2008 elections were a repudiation of everything Rush and the wingnuts have been spouting for years, but their response is to keep digging the hole deeper and deeper.
February 8th, 2009 at 2:13 pmLimbaugh did such a great job carrying water for Dubya his ratings rose dramatically to 28%

February 8th, 2009 at 2:16 pmYeah! Rush, Palin, JoeTheWhatever, Cantor, Steele… I couldn’t have cast this flop any better! Do they really think that having Rush bloviating against a new and still-popular president is their path back to power?
PEACE
February 8th, 2009 at 2:17 pmSo they go from a drunken, AWOL, coward for a leader to a lard assed, drug addled, gas bag, who was never elected to anything in his life but chases teenaged hookers in the Dominican Republic? I say they have lost their way or maybe they have never had one. They just march in V formation whichever way there is movement. Pathetic morons.

If enough people complain to the FCC, that the local station on which Rush is broadcast is not doing so “in the interest of the local community,” then the FCC must deny the license. The local FCC broadcast license is not there to misinform the local community against its own best interest.
It’s not about diversified views. It about lies.

Thank you. I await your response. I may have to leave the room in the meantime, but I promise to return.
To review: Do you think it’s a bit hypocritical of the Republicans to have as their “unofficial leader” a man who clearly does not believe in the “sanctity of marriage”? Remember, 2010 will be rolling around soon, and that’s when the Republicans will pull out their anti-same-sex marriage arguments revolving around the “sanctity of marriage”. Are they really going to have Rush Limbaugh lead their charge for them on this issue, and with that argument? (They have no other argument against it, at least none that make any sense.)

If Rush is such a true American anything, why was he a draft dodger during the Vietnam War era? Why is he a drug addled liar? Why does he whoremonger teenage hookers in the Dominican Republic? I am a veteran and I find it amusing that most of the people who identify as Rethuglicans never served in the military or they got out on deferments or went AWOL. I think most people with (R) after their names are either liars, crooks, ignorant or all of the above. Look at their actions.

February 8th, 2009 at 2:43 pm
Sorry, I thought you weren’t going to respond.
First of all, I disagree that you “understand” my “frustration” with Rush, because Rush isn’t the cause of my frustration. So you can’t “understand” it.
Secondly, please define what you consider a “good American”. I’ve always wanted to hear a conservative define that term for me.
Third, why would the fact that he has more than ten million listeners (I’ve heard that number as high as twenty million, but the exact number is irrelevant) make him a good choice to deliver a message he obviously does not believe in? Doesn’t that make this choice even more hypocritical than if, say, their “unofficial leader” was a lesser-known right-wing radio jock who “walked the walk” (i.e. wasn’t divorced so many times)? To my knowledge, I don’t think Sean hannity has ever been divorced nor has he been caught trying to buys drugs illegally, so why wouldn’t they pick him, instead? He has almost as many listeners on the radio as Rush has, and hundreds of thousand of TV viwewers to boot.
February 8th, 2009 at 2:52 pmDr. Hussein Matt
February 8th, 2009 at 2:53 pmNo, it didnt help, but it is a good start.
By the way, Rush did not endorse Obama or McCain.
Rush has 10 million listeners. Who provides this statistic? The people who want us to believe Iraq was justified? That our economy is strong? Bush was a good president?
It used to be the mark of a good reporter was to check your sources.

Being ignorant is part of the re-puke ideology because they don`t like the truth so they go to Limpballs and Fox for their ideological answers because going to non-partisan(that would be media that is not left or Reich affiliated) media only confuses them.

I used to run a forum where heated discussions occurred. Every
February 8th, 2009 at 2:57 pmtime a troll began a diatribe, like jeanette, the usual pile on would occur. I would then inject myself, as moderator, and ask the troll a polite, legit question(s). And of predictably, the troll reply was to blame others, cut and run. It just shows you that the vacuous jeanette is just your common, run of the mill chicken-sh*t of once the reality show begins; typical hit and run, no-class, all mouth republican.
jeanette deldin Says: Do you have any divorced friends or family?? At least I got a divorce first, not like Clinton in the oval office.

February 8th, 2009 at 3:07 pmSince “facts” are the enemy/antidote of ignorance, why doesn’t Obama start throwing out facts Monday night at his nationally-televised press conference?
Counter Rush’s and the repub’s bullshit with “facts”.
While these facts might not alter the thinking of the braindead repubs, give a lot more credit to most Americans – they will understand “facts” and will appreciate hearing facts as opposed to demogoguery (sic?).
Win over the majority of thinking Americans (who truly want things to improve factually)…and let the braindead fall by the wayside.
February 8th, 2009 at 3:07 pmAw, come on jeanette I asked about tax cuts you go to defending the downtrodden, where? who? What? Huh.

February 8th, 2009 at 3:17 pmro 149, thanks for the question, I am not a mathematics person, but I can see that putting less into existing programs and more into putting people to work NOW, not two years down the road, Pelosi put a lot of garbage things that hire one or two people not thousands. Obama was right, we need jobs now. He should throw their bill away and make his own, He is a smart man. We could have a bill that will be transparent so we would know what the hell is in it.
February 8th, 2009 at 3:17 pmJeanette is so confidence in her ignorance she posts her full name.
February 8th, 2009 at 3:17 pmI haven’t read the entire thread, and I probably won’t at this point unless I need to. My two cents are Obama should ignore Rush. Even speaking about him gives Rush much greater importance then he should have. Obama should concentrate on doing his best to repair the country. Let Rush whine and moan as much as he wants. Ignoring him makes him look weak and powerless. Talking about him gives him power.

February 8th, 2009 at 3:21 pmjeanette,
No, today works for me. I know how to ignore posts from other people (even the ones I like).
So far, I have yet to see anything close to an answer to my question about the hypocrisy of theh Republicans, let alone my comments at #94, 2:52 pm.
February 8th, 2009 at 3:21 pmUt oh, she snuck back in. Honey, we can’t hire enough people now. Eight years of crap precludes it. Now isn’t what we are shooting for. Only Repugs believe it happens in this quarter. That’s why we are where we are.
February 8th, 2009 at 3:21 pmHeh! On a blog from a community paper 75 miles to the west of me which happens to be the stomping grounds for numerous ignorant republicans I called Lush Rimbaugh the pill popping new leader of the republican party and my own sister, a mindless republican called me up screeching and demanding that I stay off of ‘her’ blog.
Now I understand I have many other blogs to post comments at but damn whatever happened to freedom of speech? This is still America, right? I guess my sister and the others can’t deal with facts that counter their lies. Sad…
February 8th, 2009 at 3:23 pmNow we’ve come full circle. Republican now have a LEADER. Yes Rush the 20 million dollar man who uses drugs and goes overseas to molest little girls. Now Rush is the example Republicans want Americans to see as the Christian Values we should all follow. Look for Mark Foley to step forward and Paster Haggard will give the prayer just not bending over. At least this doesn’t effect Republican Economic Adviser Joe the Plummer who Republicans look for guidence and leadership in the Economic Recovery. I said Chairman Steele’s term would be short lived. It’s hard for racist and criminals to change. Now America will have decided if we want to go forward or backward. Rush is in this for the money and the free pass on drug/child molesting he’s doing. We’ll see what direction the American people choose to go in.
February 8th, 2009 at 3:23 pmTo Jane,

February 8th, 2009 at 3:18 pm
Actually, Krazny, I don’t think I’ve heard Obama talk about Rush publicly. He made that comment to the Republicans in a closed-door meeting. Nor have I heard him talk about anything that any of them said at that meeting. It was the Republicans who violated the privacy of that meeting, not Obama. And, clearly, they did not get the message Obama was trying to deliver to them. It looks to me like the Republicans want to insist on doing things the hard way.
February 8th, 2009 at 3:24 pmEh, some hints for right-wingers
1) You will never regain power by criticizing the President with an appealing agenda when you have no agenda of your own, only taunts and insults for people who are down and out.
2) People can clearly see that you’re trying to obstruct. They don’t have TV and hate radio blocking their view anymore.
3) You were clearly told your days were numbered. If you want to act out like a rabid misguided teen, enjoy oblivion.
4) Did I mention? You’re not fooling anyone. They can all see your obstructionism in plain view.
5) And finally, your track record is too putrid to serve as an audit function of the party in clear power. We work for the people’s interests, you work for corporate interests and against your own.

February 8th, 2009 at 3:29 pmjeanette–
February 8th, 2009 at 3:30 pmHow did being a neutral moderate on a forum work for me? Quite well, actually, so in the spirit of…why, once again, are you changing persona every time you are asked to be serious and answer a question via debate? You don’t have to answer me, but your public awaits you…they await your next response and you DO owe the public a response since you are the voice of loyal opposition. Regardless the taunts and jeers you must stand and debate like a good loyalist to your parties position. Why do you believe you are incapable of debating Wayne/Jane today and think another time would be better?
Let me clarify my last statement. Honey, we can’t hire enough people now. Main reason is that the manufacturing capacity of the US has been gutted by greedy profit sharks who send jobs to third world countries where minimum wage/working wage are about 10 years in the future.
America has an astounding infrastructure for production. Lots of plants that could be making things. The problem is Americans gave up the wage slave idea about 75 years ago. If the worker isn’t worth his wage, the industry fails. Unless the boss can find other slaves.
February 8th, 2009 at 3:30 pmMost Americans have a negative view of Limbaugh, so it was only a matter of time before today’s republican party made it official. The Justice Department should quickly approve the merger. Consolidate the crap as soon as possible.
February 8th, 2009 at 3:31 pmNo Katy, I haven’t done that. I’m still a bit stunned by her response. She actually got very vile with me over the phone. All she had to do was ask me in a polite matter and I would have stopped posting messages. But sadly she is surrounded by hateful, ignorant republicans and apparently their traits have rubbed off on her now. I’m saddened by this.
February 8th, 2009 at 3:32 pmpolite manner…
February 8th, 2009 at 3:34 pmIt was the Republicans who violated the privacy of that meeting, not Obama.
Which begs the question: after all they’ve lied about, why are we taking at face value that he even mentioned Rush by name? Wouldn’t it make more sense for them to claim it, knowing Obama wouldn’t waste political capital trying to deny it? It amounts to a political free swing at Obama, and his economic package.
Any democratic sources confirm it ever even happened?
February 8th, 2009 at 3:34 pmDr. Matt, she’s not really “resorting” to that tactic. it was her modus operandi from the start.

At that other blog I was talking about some republican idiot was claiming that Pelosi and others manipulated oil speculation to drive up the price of oil to leave a black mark on Bush.
I linked an article about Cheney’s secret meeting with oil/energy lobbyists who wrote the energy which included the “Enron Loophole” that allowed unchecked rampant oil speculation that drove up the oil prices.
I then informed him of the congressional hearing where experts on the panel suggested that if certain language in the energy bill was removed it would end the rampant oil speculation and oil would drop down to $64.00 a barrel within 3-4 months. The brain washed moron still denied this and blamed it all on Pelosi and the democrats. *sigh*

February 8th, 2009 at 4:06 pmThis is absolutely awesome! The only thing better is that they don’t get how horribly stupid this is. Every single poll show’s that Rush is generally disliked to loathed. His only fans are the Freep Show.
Think about it. The GOP has chosen a talk radio host, with no experience except draft dodging and drug addiction, as their leader. JUST awesome.

For the record, I have listened to Rush Limbaugh. I used to go out to eat lunch and, before Air America went on the air (”Broadcasting from a secret bunker three hundred feet below Dick Cheney’s secret bunker…”), I had Rush on the radio precisely because I wanted to hear what he was saying for myself.
He doesn’t make any sense at all, and neither did Hannity (whom I would catch on the drive home). The foundations of his thinking are wrong. He uses, as his axioms, talking points, that only vaguely touch the truth, as fact, and then proceeds to build an “argument” based on, at best, misrepresentations of the truth, or, at worst, outright falsehoods or inaccuracies. His “conclusions” are pure bs.
Besides, he’s just a goddamn entertainer, not a fit candidate as a political party spokesperson. (And yes, I live in NYS, and I know that Howard Stern actually got the nomination of the Libertarian Party in a run for governor. He promised to fix the potholes and then resign and let his Lt Gov take over. He did not win. But Rush isn’t even as smart as Howard Stern.)
I could see this move creating a huge schism within the Republican Party. If they split up, only one faction will retain the right to field candidates, and the other will have to start from scratch. This could be good.

Corporate media webbed into multinational corporations own the air waves… 95% out there is gopper propaganda…. Rush competing against himself keeping his ratings high. So I ask: How can one NOT listen to Rush?
The DC area, 90% Dems/progressive, is now losing their only progressive station. Wonder why
February 8th, 2009 at 5:19 pmI have listened to Limbaugh, read article and books by Coulter, and Malkin. I read almost anything I can. For the most part I find they ignore or assert false realities. Or try to make very slippery comparisons. I am not saying that ultra-liberal sources don’t do this as well. But the blatant spin and bias is there.

I am trying to understand why conservatives think the way they do. Maybe you can learn something about the way I think in the process. And maybe we’ll each learn something. Good night, and good luck.
February 8th, 2009 at 5:54 pmI have listened to Limbaugh and company. (Nice to know what the other side is saying). I have also listened to and read the Wizard of Oz, Star Wars, The Princess Bride and many other wonderful works of fiction.
I also learned at an early age what the difference was between fiction and reality. This is something most rational humans learn somewhere between the ages of 5-12.

jeanette deldin,
If you’re reading this, the next time we cross paths, and if time permits, I can set up a place on my blog where we can continue our discussion. I am trying to understand why conservatives think the way they do.
As I come from a long line of goppers and my neighborhood is gopper enriched ( so much so I feel my address was the reason I was chosen as a juror a couple years back as the case racially biased in my mind), this is what I honestly think:
They are guided by greed, prejudice, arrogance and ignorance. And they do not see the prejudices as doing that would mean admitting imperfection – something they are not capable of. Heaven forbid if their children had to compete with, in their minds those other people, equally and not get preferential treatment leading to success…. why education gets cut therefore the wealthy have the advantage in education. And the hate America righties feed the ignorance and arrogance keeping this attitude going.
February 8th, 2009 at 6:37 pmhad enough,
I agree with some of your description, but I believe that these are all consequences of their root philosophy, not part of the root philosophy itself. From what I understand, it begins with the inherent belief that Man is, by nature, and left to his own devices, evil. Therefore, he must be controlled by a higher authority. As far as Liberals are concerned, it goes downhill from there.

Hell, yes. He made it all the way through high school, after all.
February 8th, 2009 at 7:14 pmRush has always claimed that he had a pilonidal cyst at the end of his tailbone and that it kept him from being drafted during the Vietnam War. His father had the same problem but he served in WW2.
February 8th, 2009 at 7:16 pmMy question about this draft deferment is that Rush has never claimed when or by whom he had this life-altering cyst operated on, to close it up. Medical records from everyone who registered when they turned 18 were destroyed by Excutive Order after the Vietnam War was over.
How about releasing your Dr’s name Rush to clear up any misgivings about your so-called “Draft Deferment?”
Rush is nothing more than a skid mark only outdone by the GOPigs that lick it up.

I have just read through/skimmed all of the posts here and I must express much disappointment that jeanette did not choose to respond to your valid questions. I would have been interested in the response, but responses were not forthcoming. However, “jeanette” did succeed in hijacking the thread and making the issue about her/it instead of Rush and his hypocrisy. Trolls are alot like that, and I have suspected for a very long time that that is truly their sole purpose to making comments like jeanette did on the thread.
As for your question about learning about how conservatives think. My observations are that most Republicans are driven by the mistaken belief/fear that there exists somewhere people who are getting something that they do not deserve and did not earn. Most conservatives that I know, including people in my own family, are very fearful people in general. And most have a very hard time giving or receiving real love. And they don’t like change of any sort because it is scary to them.

No hon, Rush just taps into people’s fears and anxieties, that is the secret to his success. But he hates himself for it and doesn’t really understand why, so he buries his feelings with food and stuffs all that anger down into his soul.
He may be smart. But there are lots of Democrats who are smarter. Too bad he uses his intelligence for evil and not for good. He might just like himself better.

This gopper lead corporate media has Rush competing against himself, therefore increasing his ratings.

China, Russia, North Korea, Singapore, and so many more–opposition media are destroyed and their voices killed outright. We seem to tolerate the most vile and stupid rhetoric in this country (hell, even most of Europe and even Canada would have charged Rush {and the rest} with criminal speech) and seem surprised the the unenlightened, uneducated 30% flock to it as cows to slaughter (okay pigs and chickens too).

February 8th, 2009 at 10:50 pmNot surprising. Rush Limbaugh exemplifies the self-serving, Machiavellian mindset of the far right.
Limbaugh, along with Steele and the rest of the GOP leadership, is more interested in promoting party-line rhetoric than solving the economic crisis.
As they see it, if the stimulus package fails to pass and the nation plunges even deeper into recession, resulting in more jobs lost, more foreclosures, and more lost pensions, then it’s a win for the GOP.
February 8th, 2009 at 10:52 pmWell Ace, my pathetic little buddy, it’s because we liberals think for ourselves. We don’t need to suck on the anal cyst of some pus-gut drug addict to find out what to think.

Guys like this just walk around with their pants down, they don’t even know thier ass is showing.
Explain why if rush’s approval rating nation wide is 24%, same as bush, then why is he on the air. Could the corporate media have an agenda? The answer is of course, yes.
February 9th, 2009 at 12:07 amWe really need to stop bickering over which portion of the stimulus package contains pork and money for non job producing projects. Even the Republicans apparently think that this plan will stimulate the economy to certain extent.
For instance, we collectively believe that when money is spent on infrastructure projects, contractors will be paid and and workers will be paid and they will in turn pay their taxes and spend most of the rest of the money thereby keeping the economy going. We can do it a lot cheaper if we cut out the profit to the general contractors and just hire the workers directly. It is analogous to creating Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae so we don’t have to rely on the market to create high priced and hard to get home mortgages.
In my scenario the workers get the money they need as well as other benefits and we solve several social and environmental problems as well.
The workers will be happy because they will have security and the basic necessities of life. They also won’t have to stress about someday owning their own construction company or coming up with new ideas and being creative because that won’t be an option.
What we are really discussing is the optimal amount of government spending, meaning how much can government spend or how big can government be while still enjoying economic growth. But economic growth may not be the objective. The objective may be to provide everyone with an acceptable standard of living while protecting the environment.
There are studies that show that too much government spending slows economic growth and therefore the standard of living falls, but since we are ever increasing the size of government voluntarily and we need to get past the idea that too much government spending is bad and take the leap to turn over what we have traditionally believed to be private sector industries such as finance, construction and auto manufacturing to the government as those industries have failed under the system that some have tried to maintain in recent history.
The prevailing view is that these industries have failed because of a lack of governmental oversight. Under this line of thinking it makes no sense to heavily regulate given the tremendous cost of regulatory compliance to a profit seeking enterprise. If the government actually owned and ran the enterprise there would be no issue with complying with regulation as the enterprise would be run by the rule makers.
It is a slow process that we are going through to take away the profit motive of business and force it to become social and environmental guardians. This cannot be accomplished on a piecemeal basis through regulation and incremental reductions in profit motive. My theory here is why beat around the bush? Let’s get on with the overhaul of the system. It is my belief that the inconsistencies of the profit motive and social responsibility is what has caused the economy to sour, primarily through the social motive of adequate housing for everyone by guaranteeing loans which were doomed to fail and the private sector taking advantage of the government guarantees for these loans which also ultimately failed. We have to decide whether we want the government to control business and industry or whether we want the market to govern it, but we cannot have it both ways.
When we start to suffer the effects of inflation from the huge deficits, what are we going to do? People will not be able to afford anything any way. We are at a crossroads economically. The solution seems to be to spend more.
February 9th, 2009 at 12:41 amMy position is that if we are going to do that we need to start now with government providing the things people will no longer be able to afford such as housing, healthcare, cars, appliances etc. There are many people who not only see this as a wise economic course but also a socially responsible way to provide citizens with the basic necessities of life.
We have to come to grips with the fact that for many of us our standard of living will fall but in return we will raise the standard of living for others.
Berkeley is one of the top universities in the country, but (as Wayne pointed out) Weiner majored in herbal medicine not anything he professes to know today. I read that he worked for and was in love with Ginsberg—but it was unrequited!

Sounds like you might be a good candidate to run a peanut butter company…too bad non-regulation of profit seeking enterprises (please tell me some enterprises that aren’t profit seeking?) has ended up with the inconvenient death of people… (and not just in the peanut butter industry either… )

You know, being smarter than average had its problems for me growing up, but being stupider than average must have been hell for you as a kid. Did it ever occur to you that maybe liberals don’t listen to the radio as much as conservatives do? Or maybe the reason Air America doesn’t have as many listeners is because it’s not carried by as many stations as Rush and Sean? I used to listen to it on the only station in my area that could pick it up, but even that was hard because the signal was weak. Then that station dropped them and there’s no place nearby that carries them. Also, do Arbitron ratings count people who stream the programs live on their computers? (Are Arbitron ratings even a true reflection of reality? You cannot prove they are.)
You really need to stop parroting the talking points you hear coming from conservative sources. They are rarely, if ever, founded in truth.

Your a sick person gunner. Are you upset because you wanted the heroin for yourself? JFK was addicted to the same meds. Many people who have severe constant pain become dependent on meds. Some people overcome it and kick the addiction like Rush did. He admitted his addiction and kicked it. Many people never admit their addiction. Some never find the strength to do that.
Many will do anything to get what they need. Surely a kind understanding moral Liberal Socialist can understand that?
A person who overcomes severe pain and the addiction that it caused is a stronger person.
Put down the needle gunner, flush the pills and you can kick the habit. I have faith in you now.
February 9th, 2009 at 11:47 amWhat you Rush haters are really upset about is his 40 million dollar contract, his hundreds of stations and the 10 million listeners who hear how you Liberal Socialists are screwing up the country. You have to shut people like Rush O’Reily Shaun Hannity and all the others out there because they illuminate the dark corners where Socialism and Liberalism hide and they force you cockroaches to scurry for the dark.
On the other hand you always have Keith Olbermann (the head) and Rachel Maddow (the lez) to get your message out. Lets see there must be at least a couple hundred people who watch those two. To quote Rachel “yup”.
February 9th, 2009 at 11:55 amInteresting that the Ole Perfesser claims a devotion to “rational argument” and “logic” yet exhibits a habit of making unsubstantiated leaps of assumption about other posters.
For instance, gunner makes an admittedly vulgar accusation of Limbaugh’s drug use, avoidance of service and unconventional sexual tastes. (These things are well-known, by the way.)
The Ole Perfessor-ish Guy makes the leap of illogic that gunner must also be addicted to heroin, as a strategy to defend the right-wing icon. He makes this assumption in the absence of any evidence to support it, aside from the rather dubious conclusions to be drawn from the style of gunner’s prose.
This judgment does not seem to rest of any logical foundation, but rather on a primitive impulse to deflect damaging charges away from a figure he admires by projecting them back onto the accuser.
This tactic, in logician circles, is known as “lame”.

February 9th, 2009 at 12:50 pmExcellent point, ElBruce. In fact, fifty years ago, the conventional wisdom in medical science was that an addiction to heroin could not be overcome. “Once a junkie, always a junkie” was the saying — and this was what doctors believed.
That’s not the case now, but, as you say, the recidivism rate is still extremely high.

The shit that you say is written for him to read doesn’t exist. So you posting without the facts. Hey I thought you Liberals were into facts.
Have you listened to him? He gives people a forum to express their views. Furthers the Conservative train of thought.
Causes people to think about what is happening in the world. Exposes idiocy in both parties (yes I said both parties).
And he’s just entertaining. Ditto heads are just people who think that it’s good to hear an opposing view, not that they agree with everything that he says.
You don’t know that because your liberal dogma prevents you from listening to his program. Many enlighten Liberals listen to his program often.
There are 10 million people who listen for themselves and they are not all Republicans.
He readily take calls from people who disagrees with him, in fact he puts them to the front of the line.
As far as the drug thing is concerned, well I think people should be given a second and even third chance. Beyond that I have no compassion for them.
