      burning the Qoran in public will certainly make this true.

      Your "team" lost, Rush. That's all. Oh, and your "team" walked all over our liberties for 8 years and you weren't bellyaching then.

      Your "team" lost . . . deal with it and stop already with the over-the-top hyperbole. You just sound stupid.

        As I recall he was cheering them on as they attacked a country without justification, falsified reasons as to why we were going to war, signed the Patriot Act and waterboarded to their sheer delight. You're some true patriot, Limbaugh.

      Whereas Rush gave up in the battle for originality ages ago. Am I the only one who notices how much he's trying to sound like Beck lately? Exactly the amount of insecurity I'd expect from a Viagra smuggler.

        It's true- Rush knows he could never draw a crowd like Beck's "Sermon on the Monument" did; and, even with the boycott, Beck's show is more successful than Limbaugh's efforts in that area.
        But most damning is the fact that Rush has to WORK at being offensive and crazy, while it seems to come to Our Glenn as easy as breathing (or lying, which seems to come to him a tiny bit easier).
        Truly, the half-@$$ed Student has surpassed the full-@$$ed Master...

          Double-hind-ended, I think. As for Beck being only half of one, I think he is at least 3/2 hind-ended, the "whole" part being his face and pie-hole.

      Couldn't agree more.
      We're fighting for a country where liberty is not confined to just the rich and the white or the old and the seething.

      In the end, no matter what you say, Great Gasbag one thing is clear--the phony America you feed your listeners is vanishing. Shifting demographics will be your downfall.

      LIMBAUGH: "We have to get rid of the American Left."
      Sorry, but I don't know of anyone on the supposedly hateful "Left" ever saying the Right needs to be "gotten ridden of".

          Well remember, we've upped the ante. Opposing conservative talking points is now opposing the American way of life and its principles of liberty.

      "We are in a fight for our lives!"

      "We are in a fight for our liberty!

      Out of time for today folks- come back tomorrow, when I'll be right here in front of my golden EIB microphone, collecting my $30 mil per year paycheck, blathering some version of

      Just out of curiosity, Rush, how do you think Republicans learned that it didn't work to cross the aisle and work with "the left"?

      When in the last fifteen or so years did they ever try it?

      Not true - Rush is still free to go down to the Dominican Republic any time he wants to visit his boyfriends - that is, unless his "wife" objects.....

      Really Rush - Sarah Palin would be better as president than Obama?

      A huge problem for the US and the West is the Middle East. If we had peace many of the other security problems (and thus economic problems) would be solved.

      Who is more likely to advance peace in the Middle East? Who is more likely to make matters worse?

        Palin believes that it is her destiny to lead this country into the "end times." Her "end times" theology requires that all Jews be sent back to Israel and that the majority of them die in a huge battle there. She's the LAST person we need in the White House. She's bat poop crazy . . . that's why she and Beck get along so well. Sociopaths of a feather flocking together.

        Of course Palin would be a better president than Obama in Limpy's POV!

        She doesn't know anything, it's difficult for her to hold facts in her head for longer than 30 seconds, and she needs "advisers" to tell her what to do/say/think.

        She's perfect for Limpy and the other whiners. She can be manipulated to do/say what they want her to do/say.

        I think of the word malleable when I think of Palin.

      See, they say they're not calling for violence, but wouldn't violence be the logical response if you were in a fight for your life?

      You are right RUSH. The country is in the fight of its life and you and your minnions are the forces of darkness and evil. BECAUSE all you guys promote are the rich and mega corporations and you demonize and hate the middle class and the poor. They are NOTHING to a sorry piece of garbage like you.

      Wow... "...Eliminate the Left..." "...It's Bone-Crunching Time..." He really is emulating Beck. What could be wrong with having a radio station playing violence inducing, secessionist con artists for 6 straight hours every weekday?
