Limbaugh: Obama thinks "profit is rape"
From the June 24 edition of Premiere Radio Networks' The Rush Limbaugh Show:
LIMBAUGH: Private-sector health covers -- or health care givers, doctors, nurses, insurance companies have to make a profit to stay in business. Obama's business doesn't have to show a profit. They're not going to stay in business. The government is going to end up being it all, by design.
So, Obama looks at the private sector as just a neverending windfall. He looks at profits like surplus value, the same way Marx did. A profit is almost a crime. A profit is a crime against the people. A profit is rape. It's just -- it's surplus value that you can go get. And when you take some entity's profit, then you have been fair, and you have equalized society -- and that's how he looks at it.
I think Obama's a true believer on this stuff.

The christian arguements are quite at odds with many so-called conservative values yet there is this slimy vaneer used by republicans to claim moral high ground. I say throw the bible right back at them (retorically) and watch thier party continue to splinter.
Rush baby you are back from getting your tummy tuck and you still do not like yourself?
I'd like to see Limbaugh ACTUALLY get RAPED, if only so he'd stop using such sensless hyperbole in his rantings.
Rush runs a clip of a rape victims testimony in court. Rush falls forward laughing uncontrollably saying "You can see I'm trying not to laugh, I can not help it" The VICTIM is describing how the defendant put his finger in her rectum. This outrageous vile pig can not control himself he is laughing so hard. So the victim is raped all over again by Rush Limbaugh. This sick f--- thinks this is funny and should be run on his show. There is a lot more on the run down with his obsession with rectums. This is the GOP hero? I would not want him in my neighborhood or near my kids or pets.
I'm fine with most companies make a profit, but there are laws against Usury and Profiteering, but we don't enforce them anymore.
When Exxon Mobile made the greatest quarterly profit in the history of US business ($14 billion Q3 2008) at a time that our nation's economy was skidding and the cost of gas were at record highs... I think that is wrong, and I don't care what Rush and the right think!!! What if $14 billion wasn't good enough and they decided that gas should be $12/gallon. If they could get away with it they would.
And that's the problem, we let these companies get away with it. Health Insurers cancel policies or deny medical procedures on their customers when they really need it, and they do it for profit!!
I, for one, am glad to see that our President isn't letting them get away with it anymore. And I couldn't care less what the rich right wing has to say about.
Fair is fair... right is right.. and health insurers making obscene profits is wrong!
