Limbaugh paranoia: "Anybody who thinks [Obama] intends to just constitutionally go away in 2016 is nuts"

But really, this insane fearmongering is just sad. Really sad. Fear is all the cons have left. Well, fear and a whole lot of money.
These crybabies are still stewing over having assisted in helping the Democrats rise to power. Thier hatred and lies moved people to the D column. Now, this same Barnum-types are spouting OVERTHROW.
As an aside, thier friends Castro and Chavez will agree with them.
I truly believe that thier wish is that someone does the dirty work for them an attempts something on the lives of our elected Leaders. If that happens, they should be fair game.
P.S. Rush, you are becoming nuttier by the day... Happily for you there are still a lot of really, really dumb people in the world...mostly tuned in to you.
This guy either (1) has no credability (and Fair, AA, PoV? It's time for you lot to admit that!) or (2) He's trying to get him killed. That may seem extreme, but please offer another explanation if you can't accept (1) or (2) or both.
Irony, that is very true, and one of the most amazing features of the show to me. I probably catch parts of his show two or three times a week while driving, and aside from mindless cult-like chanting and repetition, the contradictions are the highlights of the show.
It's mind-boggling to listen as one who hasn't ordered the GOP Kool-Aid, to hear the reversal of logic and principles in order to suit that day's issue.
And the humans don't know, but the dittobots understand.
It is beyond my comprehension, how they can listen to President Obama and not feel that every thing about this man, wants what is the very best for everyone, even blustering talk show hosts.
Says the fat, bald, divorced, white conservative.
"You have to wonder if Obama is just trying to lay a foundation for not being a hypocrite when he tries to serve beyond 2016....I wouldn't be at all surprised."
Rush has to dig into the hypothetical, worst-case future in order to come up with material.
"They are a democratically elected set of officials down there..."
Any student of central American history knows that 'democratically elected' can mean any number of things in that part of the world. Heck, what did 'democratically elected' mean in Florida in 2000?
".. they are a cult like bunch.... it is cultish."
This, to Limbaugh's listeners, is a de-rationalization of liberals. It removes more chances for dialogue because the assumption becomes that any attempts at a dialogue would be unproductive simply because of the sides involved. Furthermore, Rush Limbaugh, with a listener base that is assumed to be in the tens of millions, should be careful of the word 'cult'.
"...half of them wouldn't care about the legalities anyway, they don't even know about em because they haven't been properly educated."
Combined with a tangible anti-intellectualism in some parts of society, this represents Rush's need to appeal to ignorance. The average ditto-head takes this to mean that the liberal rank-and-file are too dumb to know anything, but the academics that the government might turn to on policy decisions are too detached. The message is that you can't trust your mind: You have to trust your gut.
Sadly, as a result, the rest of us, SANE, Americans will have to live with this bull**** from Limbaugh and his listener hoodlums for some time.
Being afraid of Mr. Obama is one thing. But I can't help but feel that Mr. Limbaugh is saying things he thought the very second that Mr. Obama won the election.
