Limbaugh: "to sit here and to be compared to the monstrous, genocidal Adolph Hitler, that's beyond the pale"
Comparing Obama to Hitler, OTOH, is perfectly fine . . .
He's not doing all this nastiness so much for ****s and giggles as for the purpose of boosting his ratings and serving how own personal agenda. He's shown that he really doesn't care who he steps on to get his way, and that's what NE is all about.
"He also wore tutus and ate whole bakeries..."
And GWBush's Clean Air Act (allow much more pollution) really cleaned the air, and the Healthy Forests Initiative (clear-cutting) was really good for trees.
Because the name means everything, and the cover really allows one to judge the book.
Actually, Jessica's mental capacities are far greater than Jeff Christie's. :-)
in 1990 he bragged that he had 20 million listeners.
in 2009 he still has 20 million listeners.
either his ratings are wrong or he has not attacted any new listeners in almost 20 years. i know it's ot but i think it's interesting.
And on the matter of yet another insane monologue, I guess according to Rush's rules, Pelosi and Dingell aren't allowed to mention that protesters are carrying Nazi signs? Makes sense to me! And if I'm hearing correctly, the Dingell one was a conspiratorial plot carried out by a staffer carrying a swastika, according to Rush -- citing evidence ... oh, right, he doesn't have any.
I'd love to see Rush hold a town hall and get harassed like some of the elected officials he's urging his bigoted listeners to shout down. That rock-throwing wimp can't even handle a debate with any of the people he takes potshots at, so it would be interesting to see how long it would take Spineless Rush to run for cover whining. When he filled in for Pat Sajak on a TV talk show many years ago, the crowd let him have it and got thrown out. He can dish it out but can't take it.
Is Limpy trying to claim that that's a majority?
Oh, what am I saying -- these are the same idiots who claimed the 25% die-hard Dubya supporters were a majority . . .
Perspective.
So, you've compared Obama to Hitler in fact and by proxy, but for you to be compared to Hitler is beyond the pale?
Just on the political side, Rush, do you know why you never hear about 'Hippy Nazis'? Because liberalism and fascism are opposed to one another. The Nazis in Germany were fascist. They wanted every citizen's life run by a strong central government working hand in hand with big business to rule every aspect of people's lives. That sounds more like... Bush/Cheney, to me. They let corporate interests write the regulations for their own industries. They gutted government oversight of business. They started a war of aggression. They annexed Arabia rather than the Sudatenland, but really that's a mere geographical quibble.
"honest capitalism"? Did you really say that out loud? We haven't had honest capitalism in this country since the mid 19th century.
His arguments comparing communism to fascism make about as much sense as saying the two forms of governance are similar because Stalin and Hitler both had mustaches.
All this fat clown does is make comparison's between Hitler and the Democrats, yet he doesn't comprehend the gross hypocrisy when the tables are turned on him.
I've never seen a bigger bunch of cry babies or a bigger, lying sack of excrement than him.
Who knew he was so sensitive?
Are you completely devoid of understanding the Golden Rule, Rush? You brought this upon yourself.
He is a disgusting, vile, lying, hypocrite that gets paid big bucks to keep as many false hoods going as possible, against the President and the Democratic Party.
His whole career is based on political discord. Without it he would have no career period.
There is satisfaction in knowing, as a result he is a miserable, lonley sod. (piece of dirt, not so flat but a piece of dirt) I am being kind.
How about if you sit where Obama was when you compared him to Hitler? Is that a better location for your fat ass?
They already have a Limbaugh wire, that's enough for me.
He's a buffoon who feeds on the the attention and adoration by his moronic following.
He doesn't even talk about real issues anymore, him and Becky are the "Oliver Stones" of the Right. I've never listened to him, never intend to listen, and I'm not even going to bother looking at his nonsense on MMTV anymore.
Rush has never had a close relationship with intellectual honestly, let alone intellect itself, but he's gotten even crazier as of late. In the '90s he would mostly just twist facts or take people out of context and insult them; now he's flat-out making most of this stuff up. To me, it's indicative that he can't take the overwhelming response from MMA, Countdown, Maddow, etc. I'm hoping eventually enough people will see through him so as to render him irrelevant, but to state a cliche, he is more or less setting the GOP agenda right now and therefore must be scrutinized. I mean, I do know of former dittoheads who have come to their senses after reading enough rebuttals.
Manufactured outrage. That's all he has. No facts, no threads of logic, Rush is the mad berserker of right wing self-entitlement to perpetual victim-hood.

Heck, the History Channel, History International AND Military Channel put together have fewer Nazi references than Rush.
He needs to pick up a history book for one and learn what the Nazi Party really was like.
We all know that he's been comparing Obama to Hitler for weeks now. The sad thing is that his idiot listeners have heard it, too, but they wake up in a new world every morning.

Just hearing his voice for more than 10 seconds at a time and I feel it nearly necessary to vomit!
