Previously:

Limbaugh: Obama's bind is "he can't point to pg. 44, say 'No. See right here it says there aren't any death panels' "

Limbaugh falsely claimed he has "not used the word 'death panels,' except in quoting Sarah Palin"

Limbaugh adopts de facto death panel logic: "they sure as hell are not life panels"

Limbaugh again cites discredited McCaughey for proof that "death panels" exist

      How is Obama an authoritarian when he concedes to the GOP on everything in the health care bill?

      Silly Rush. If he was an authoritarian, he wouldn't be giving this speech because he wouldn't care about convincing anyone.

      But then, "authoritarian," "socialist," "communist," "Marxist" and "fascist" are all readily interchangeable to him.

      Rush Limbaugh is over 60 and still doesn't understand the Constitution. He only understands 40 million.

        Now, now, lets not turn this into a thread consisting of "Things Rush Doesn't Understand".
        It would end up with 10,000,000,000,000 posts and end up overloading the server.

          Actually, you could sum up "Things Rush Doesn't Understand" with two words:

          1. reality
          2. sobriety

      When I was in high school, a required course for all students was called "Civics." In it I learned that every right carried a corresponding responsibility. The right to free speech also comes with a responsibility to tell the truth, to refrain from slander, and to promote the common good.

      I think Rush missed that class, or did he drop out before he was required to take it?

      How can I get a list of the companys who sponsor these hateful destoyers of civil discourse? I never want to buy a product from any of them and would like to write to each and every one of them to tell them that they are aiding in the destruction of our democracy.
