Limbaugh: "We all agree with the Taliban and Iran" that Obama does not deserve Nobel

From the October 9 edition of Premiere Radio Network's The Rush Limbaugh Show:
LIMBAUGH: I think that everybody is laughing. Our president is a worldwide joke. Folks, do you realize something has happened here that we all agree with the Taliban and Iran about and that is he doesn't deserve the award. Now that's hilarious, that I'm on the same side of something with the Taliban, and that we all are on the same side as the Taliban.

Well... someone needs to take Rush's drugs away, if for any other reason, for his own safety! Because he is getting more delusional as each day passes.
Rush who are "We all"? I am not part of your group and you are afraid of peace. This is since peace reduces defense spending and that is toxic to you and your ilk.
Obama not deserving the award...well, that's a matter of perspective. The statement, as well as its opposite, can not be proved nor disproved since it is a matter of opinion.
You may see it as truth. I may see it as false. Marisa Tomei deserved her Oscar. She didn't deserve it. Truth has no real place in opinion.
Now, Obama himself has said that he's not sure he deserves it, but that he will be accepting it on behalf of all Americans to do their part for a more peaceful world.
I think you're just a little irked he hasn't done anything for you yet.
Yes, progress has been slow in getting America back on track, but what about America's standing in the international community? What about his pledge to make America more energy-conscious, more environmentally-conscious, more diplomatic towards other countries?
That's what the Peace Prize is about, stark. If it were an award to see how successful a country can be, then Republicans just might be winning the darn award every now and then.
Once again, it's not what he's doing for you. It's what he's doing for the world.
BTW, the committee was quite clear on why they chose him . . . can you not read? I know that their criteria has been posted here NUMEROUS times.
This isn't an American award . . . you should be pleased that our President is being seen as a POSITIVE influence on the world for a change. Just because you can't get past your silly "us v. them" crap doesn't mean that the folks in the international community has to share your hatred.
Now, stark, if you really, really wanted to bring facts into this conversation about Obama's handling of the economy, you should have brought up how FHA/HUD is going down the path of insolvency like fannie mae/freddie mac.
That would be better than the nebulous debt argument (on which Nobel winning economist Krugman said we didn't spend enough) and the faulty unemployment argument because the most recent unemployment figures show improvement.
Don't you ever read?
clearly you know nothing of economics either.
9 months.
Let us know when Obama goes into filmmaking, starkey . . .
The Taliban want to impose their narrow religious views on a whole country. I think that's an ideal many of the Great Gasbag's audience could easily embrace.
As if you think there would have said any thing else.
you like your twin Becky are Cowards.
Rush has finally, through a common cause, joined the Taliban and Iran.
I don't know
Where is the bathroom?
[of course, I wouldn't understand the answer to the question, which kind of ruins knowing it]
Last week this idiot said the International communiy rejected Barack Obama..did he forget that!?
Like your hero, Dumbya, said: "You're either with us, or you're with the terrorists."
Glad to know which side you're on, Limpy . . .
Randy
Correct.
And, I think this means he's now a candidate to get done what Seannie Poo was to much of a wuss to do: volunteer to be waterboarded . . .
Limbaugh sides with terrorists against President.
-Treatment of women.
-Treatment of homosexuals.
-One religion running affairs of the state
-Whether or not George Bush was their country's savior.
This is actually not surprising, as his behavior is the opposite of the thoughtful, dedicated, reasoning processes that are required of great persons who seek and work for peace vs. those who merely continue conflict by means of endless derision.
Rush has seen himself in the mirror, if only for a moment, and realizes that he (and his ilk) truly are in the same class of persons (who most reasonable people would agree) who we could call 'the dangerously intolerant.'
We hope that this gives him the incentive to walk in the path of bringing justice to the world order.
We are not upset and we hope that by receiving this prize he will start taking practical steps to remove injustice in the world.

You don't speak for me, you fat, pompous gasbag.
Limbaugh, you've become part of the thing that you've railed against for the last eight years...a Taliban terrorist.
You people on the Right really do hate America don't you?
-----------------------------------------------------------------
You suck, Rush. You really do, you traitorous scumbag.
Mr. Limbaugh does not speak for the entire country, thus his statements reflect the continuation of hypocrisy and self glorification that flows through the conservative movement in our country. It is unfortunate that such people use their time to demote the achievements of others! Perhaps some day, God willing, these self-made overseers of our country will change! I am not holding my breath!
The neocons just can't get it through their thick skulls that you can't win a Nobel Peace Prize by bullying the international community and launching wars of aggression against countries who don't threaten you.
Not that it will register with the dittoheads.....
No "we all", arent on the side with the Taliban. You and whoever listens and follow everything out of your hateful, sexist mouth maybe. Not me. Now way.
No thing, no person, no event has any meaning or power not given to it by our thinking.
All this is the exact same stuff that could be said of Obama had Chicago gotten the Olympics.
Who's "we"? Maybe drug induced pixies?
that there are still those who give this tool credence is a sure sign of the dumbing down of America..
Congratulations President Obama..!! We true Americans are proud of you..!!!
In the past month I have visited England, Turkey and Russia on business. I am not saying those countries are a representative sample of Rush's "worldwide", but I can tell you that the subject of Obama came up constantly, and every single person I spoke to really likes him and is hopeful about what he will do for the world. They definitely do not consider him a "joke". Rush and his like need to check their "facts". Of course they won't do that....
I don't find it hilarious, I find it pathetic, that el Rushbo would agree with people who would gladly see any American dead. Had that not sunk into his thought process before he said it? It obviously didn't bother the folks at FauxNoise, and young Starker didn't think about it.
Also, note how the Republicans chose to frame their position - what did he do in 2 weeks from his election. Starker is kind enough to demonstrate how easliy people succumbed to the framing without thinking of the deeper meeting.
The important actions were what he did over the prior 2+ years in running for office and persuading Americans that diplomacy could accomplish far more, and also demonstrating to the world that America wanted to lead the world in a new direction.
