      Getting blue in the face, Rush?  You know, I think they give pills for that.

      Although I have a very simple remedy for blue faces: 

      STOP TALKING.

      "...without the Constitution as a guiding light."  Are you kidding?  Perhaps we need to remind Rush who was responsible for throwing away the writ of habeas corpus.  Or initiated wireless phone tapping of ordinary citizens.  Or who confused the role of the executive, legistlative and judicial branches of government.  Who claimed executive privelege whenever things got hot.  Thank you to media matters for exposing this info-tainer for the farce that he is.

      Rush hopes that the bill fails and that Obama fails. Then, he says if the bill succeeds, then America is going downhill. What a racket..If DA Rush is wrong about everything, he is still right in his drug-ravaged mind.  When the Dems were against the war, they were unAmerican and unPatriotic and should leave America. When DA Rush says the same thing, he will be lauded as defending his principles. How can any true Republican stick by this bozo? Of course when he said he'd move to New Zealand, I started calling the bill porkulous. Begone Oh Great Unrepentent Drug Addict. Begone.

      Listening for this a second time, I state that RUSH LIMBAUGH IS STILL ON DRUGS and should be tested on National TV. He'll do it because he has nothing to hide. 

      Keep it up MMFA, he is going nutz.

      This is a big wish, but it would be great for a major broadcast show, like 60 Minutes, to pick this up and have him on to "defend" such statements (with proper rebuttal points ready).

      To think the "liberal" New York Times did a puff piece on this traitor not 6 months ago or so.

      Why are the majors so scared as not to rebut such talk? Oh yeah, their corporate overlords keep them backed off.

      "...Why are the majors so scared as not to rebut such talk?"Yea, this crazy non-sense the conservatives talk is easily rebutted and has been ,yet it keeps reappearing like that healthcare lie that keeps finding it's way back on MSM even though it has been totally debunked. Pat Buchanan hasn't been relevant since Nixon yet he's a major voice on MSNBC.  Karl Rove on Fox giving lectures on transparency and cleaning up politics.  Joe Scarborough on MSNBC speaking on bi-partisanship??But tell me when was the last time you saw Amy Goodman or Howard Zinn on these shows.

      So that includes that 10-15% of his 3 million listeners will go broke, lose their jobs and their house all so that Rush can feel better about himself and the bill will be failure. Yeah for Rush!!

        I never did hear Rush to tell his peeps to refuse any of this money. I'm sure that no one in any Red State needs help so all of the money should go to the Blue States. He'll probably tell them that on money.

      It's hard to admit you're a blowhard pathetic gasbag supported by the 20percenters.

      Must be even harder to have someone like Boenher as an intellectual soul mate

      "What is it about Obama that everything he does, has to succeed?"

       

      Maybe becuase he's the President you moron. Jeez, Rush sure is dumb. Heck even during Bush's term I wanted his policies to suceed and hope they were good for America.

        Same here. And I hoped that Bush would succeed right until the bitter end. He never did though, or didn't succeed much. What's good for our President (regardless of who it is), is good for the rest of us.

      This man's rhetoric is simply stunning to me (I do not listen to his radio rantings, ever, so maybe this is just a normal commentary, perhaps?). What the man is saying is that he hopes this dreadful economic avalanche continues and that millions more breadwinners are thrown onto the streets and that America and the world experience total societal meltdown. Why does he wish this? Because it would in some way ratify his ideological position regarding capitalism and government. "Let us have destruction, death, misery and ruin so that I and my fellow Republican ideologues can say we were right." What a warped human being this is! I am aghast at the utterly amoral character of this man.

      Rush is the Diamond Dallas Paige of the EIB Wrestling Network. He has stated on his show that ALL drug users should be put in jail, and taht ALL drug dealers should be executed. AND HE IS BOTH!! So just how much credence should anyone lend his views? He needs to be suplexed out of the ring.Maybe even a death-cage match - yeah, that would be fitting. Jeff Klein
