        In the sense that you could say anything is his fault. That doesn't mean it is but it doesn't stop Limpy from saying it.

          I'll tell you what, el Fathead...

          Why don't you just say Obama did it!

          No one listens to your garbage anyway.

      We could almost say that Rush Limbaugh will say anything, regardless how baseless, to blame Barack Obama and liberals for every tragedy that has ever befallen mankind. In fact, we CAN say that about Limbaugh...

      You can almost hear the desperation in his voice as he reaches yet again for any shred of hope for the reichwhiners.

      Ahh, what am I saying? There's no almost about it!

      Actually, I believe I heard someone say that already, or, at least imply it.

      He is just another one trick pony from the Rightwing. This blame game was predicted within moments of the attack.

        I'm surprised Limbaugh isn't saying Obama planned the massacre.

      Non-stop fearmongering, non-stop hatred of anything Obama/liberal, non-stop negativity...

      I can't help but think that anyone who continues to listen to this day after day after day after day ought to, at some point, say "wait a minute; NOTHING can be this awful." Those who continue to lap it up, to not question any of it, must really have some deep-seated issues.

      There was a lot of negativity of Bush, of course, but I can't imagine any pied piper on the left who would or could have survived had he maintained this crescendo of hatred.

        Amen. Hatred as a way of life, especially as a way to control and fear monger, is a cancerous psychosis that the right wing thinks is a "strategy" for power. There seems to be no analysis on why they keep losing elections, just more and more and more of the same. Will anyone wake up on their side and challenge this?

      And these idiots think Obama should respond to this bull%$#@? Why should Obama lower himself to these crazy, hate spewing idiots and be seen on their radio shows and TV shows. I think Obama has a lot of class by not coming out and saying what an idiot Limbaugh is by spewing this crap. Limbaugh sits on his arse all day and has to spout something out of his piehole. He doesn't care if it's detrimental to the actual country (not to those who listen and believe this crap).

      Rush is a coward. He always wraps his words with such phrases like "we could almost say", so he has some sort of protection agains his critics. C'mon Rush, be a man, spew the crazy hatred openly and honestly. Your winks and nods to your audience fools no one.

        He does do that a lot, LibX. What a sissy way of spewing propaganda, " I could almost say ( then says it)".

        I almost have more respect for the complete nutjobs who come straight out and lie loudly about birth certificates and secret Muslims. At least they show a little conviction in their crazy. Weak-kneed, half-hearted lunatic liars like Boss Hogg are just boring.

      Just like we could say that 9-11 was Bush's fault... right? Oh wait, that was Bush's fault... and Regan's. Let's not forget who trained Osama Bin Ladin after all.

        The CIA trained Bin Laden, and a lot of the Mujahadeen. I've recommended it before, and I will do so again. If you want a good read on the events leading up to 9/11, read Steve Coll's Ghost Wars. It's comprehensive, and thick, and well done. Lots of detail. Lots of good info.

      Karma, Karma, Karma. This horrific act took place in Texas, a conservative, military state aka the Rick Perry state-and Rick Perry, if you recall touted succession. So now, suddenly it is the liberal Obama's fault. Limpbucket, please explain how and or why. Rush, you have a sick mind almost as sick as the shooter.

      Just as I could almost say you're a fat, drug-addicted, pedophile shock jock who gets paid an obscene amount to spew out the most ridiculous BS allowed on the public airwaves while 5% percent of the country hangs on every word like the brianless morons they are . . .

      . . . difference is, I'd be almost right.

      What a strange pretzel logic this guy uses. It's like this:

      1) The Fort Hood shooter is a muslim; well there you go! Enough said.
      2) The Fort Hood shooter could not handle the pressure ("teasing") of the military (and we all know Rush knows a lot about being in the military).
      3) The shooter resisted deployment (again, Rush claims the high ground here) by fatally shoting fellow non-muslim soldiers. MUST be a hate crime, no doubt, committed by a single individual against non-muslims.
      4) But then again, it's really Obama who's at fault because he didn't end both wars in his first year as president. Even though Obama said repeatedly during his campaign that he was going to ramp up operations in Afghanistan. So the shooter's mistaken notion, or hatred of non-muslims, or hatred of America, or whatever, is Obama's fault.

      We could almost say it was Rush's fault, too. He didn't come right out and blame Obama but his ridiculously low information and blind followers THINK he did.
