      Sorry, Rush, I can't do it. I can't get bothered anymore by the silly crap that falls out of your head. Perhaps hyperbole might do the trick. Might be just the thing to set me off. Have you ever considered the use of hyperbole?

      These guys are so full of hate it's really become sad to watch. Every night they spew lies and have become so out-of-touch with 95% of this country that there is no turning back. They could care less about this country or its citizens. As a very liberal person, I hope that some of the rational conservatives step up soon and denounce this sickening rhetoric.

      By "we", of course, he meant rich egomaniacs like himself and Hannity, who were just getting used to the horror of the black kid at the supermarket not calling them "sir".

      WAH WAH WAH WAH WAH...

      Does anyone who matters give a damn what this joke of a human being says anymore? Obviously the 20% or so of people who still like to call themselves Republicans do, but nobody cares about them anymore than they care about Limbaugh.

      It's fun to see these idiots rant and rave, and everyone who is part of the not-crazy 80% just laughs at them.

          Which is why I didn't even listen to what he said, or comment on it. His opinions are completely irrelevant to me, as they are to the vast majority of people in this country.

          But it's interesting as a phenomenon. And man, it's sweet.

            What is the phenomenon though? You admit you did not listen to what he said. Is it that you believe he is such a radical that he makes the Republicans look extreme, and thereby helps Democrats? If that's the case, and as someone who is fortunate to have the opportunity to listen to him a few times a week, I can tell you that his views are largely in line with what you might call mainstream conservatism. It is through the constant mocking and humorless misrepresentation of the mainstream media that people who do not listen to Limbaugh develop a false understanding of who he is and what he stands for.

            Indeed, I would agree with you that the Republican Party is seemingly content to be the "annoying little brother" to Obama's socialism. However, it is the "moderate" (liberal) members, as well as those frightened of being smeared as racist/sexist/homophobic by the mainstream media, that are content to be subserviant. It is conservatives like Rush Limbaugh, and many others on talk radio, not to mention millions of Americans, that are not satisfied with the current state of affairs.

      I never thought there would be a Democrat that riles up Flush Limpballs more than Slick Willie in the 90s. However, I think Obama reaaally gets under his skin, probably because unlike the 90s, Limpball's tactics aren't sticking to the president and the American public had just about enough of both him and Newtize.

      After completely spitting in the face of the Hispanic community by smearing Judge Sotomayor non-stop -- to the point where even conservative-leaning Cubans in Florida had just about enough of them -- how do they expect to win back the White House and Congress? Furthermore, if Obama's policies turn out to be as effective as FDR's New Deal, then they're definitely toast, and it will be another twenty years or so before another Republican wins again. So keep it up, Limpballs, the more airtime the lib'url media give you, the deeper the Republican Party sinks. It's about damn time, I say!

        It had nothing to do with Clinton or Obama or Pelosi for that matter. Limbaugh HATES ALL DEMOCRATS. But he especially hates any that WIN. And he hates even more ones that SUCCEED, and he really, REALLY hates any who are popular. So none of his recent insanity should suprise anyone. He's a nutcase.

      I have complete faith that the vast majority of Americans understand exactly what motivates highly-paid morons like these.

      It's not for love of country, it's for love of money.
      It's not patriotism, is egotism.
      And it's not because they truly believe the president is a fascist, it's because they are, at the end of the day, sore losers.

      I also believe that when Americans compare the words and actions of these two clowns with the words and actions of the president it's abundantly clear who is really a patriot and on their side.

      Mr. Bouncy Bounce helps spread the ultra right wing talking points about President Obama "Apologizing" about/for America. Simply stated my President does not do that. The catch phrase of the ultra right for years was the first half of the famous quote: "America: Love it or leave it." The original, which is impossible to google now since simply seeking that phrase only leads to the ditto heads' uses of the phrase, had the intent of saying, "When America is right, embrace it; when wrong correct it."

      The other talking point that Limbaugh and Hannity are pushing is the idea that Obama doesn't love America. The fact is that the kind of hate these two are pushing is not stated hate of America but acted out hate. Limbaugh, no doubt a very smart man, spouts out on his EBC network words and ideas that come right up to the sedition line. I'm sure that much of his prep work centers around, "What can I say that is inflammatory enough to rile up the base but still doesn't cross over into illegal speech."

      Does Mr. Bouncy Bounce love America. I say not. What he loves is the 23% (and falling) of Americans who still form the Republican base and who help the various patchwork of radio stations to provide him with at $400 million contract.

      As a recovering addict (I hope), it is time for Mr. Bouncy Bounce to start making amends and to take stock on what his rhetoric has done and is doing to this country that President Obama and I love.

      Rush and Hannity sit there and talk like there was not an election held in November 2008.

      Americans followed the entire campaign and turned out in record numbers to change the direction of the country.

      Obama has a tough hill to climb but most AMERICANS are pulling for him to get this nation back on track and respected around the world again.

      Hannity and Rush are not true Americans. They have shown no respect to our newly elected leader and voice their hate towards the presidents efforts to try and fix the problems he inherited.

      Hannnity and Rush are not true Americans that pull for our country to be united and leaders around the world again. They try to divide and spread hate whenever they open their mouths.

      Hannity has been trying to destroy Obama from the day he announced he was running for the highest office in the free world.

      He failed and the people spoke by electing a true new leader. They did not elect cowards who try to stir the uneducated up with off the wall rhetoric and organizing tea-parties against a man that CUT taxes for 95% of AMERICANS.

      I guess Hannity and Rush are still in denial. Most of Fox nation is in denial with the 2008 election outcome.

      They are lucky to live in a place where free speech is not monitored more closely and their divisive tone is tolerated.

        I wonder if ABC is aware that a close personal friend of Sean Hannity... Hal Turner was arrested for inciting the killing of elected officials in Connecticut, the killing of three federal judges in Chicago, and the killing of the doctor in Omaha, NE that wants to re-open Dr. Tillers office and take his place.

        (http://turnerradionetwork.blogspot.com/)

        Follow this link at your own peril... I kid you not when I say it is beyond hate filled. This scumbags site leave little to the imagination as to what he is talking about.

        His concept of 'change' is to kill rather than run for public office and make the change yourself. To speak up loudly and force the government to listen.

        No, this neanderthal wrote in his electronic blog, specifically calling for the murder of elected officials, federal judges, and abortion doctors.

        If Sean comes out and does the right thing by turning his back on his 'close' friend (which I doubt because this blog speaks the same, beginning to end)... that means Sean knew that his 'close' friend talked and thought this way for months, if not years!

        About damn time one of these hate-filled mongrels is finally being dealt with!

        In all seriousness, markbfoot199, you have posted those exact things when you speak of the Obama administration.

        Do you believe the statement you quoted from Osama bin Laden? Why else would you post it? Is that why you were 100% behind George W Bush when he tried to finish the job Obama started with the USS Cole and the WTC?

        W said they hated us for our freedoms, so he did all he could to take those freedoms away so they wouldn't hate us and we wouldn't be attacked any more.

        W's idea of keeping us safe was to keep us locked up and afraid to talk to anyone, just as an abusive husband does with his wife.
