      Rush is either drunk today or having trouble with the ill fitting dentures. He's going to have trouble with Ss all day long.

      You don't believe the General Motors number, maybe you should contact the SEC and alert them to fraudulent 10-K filings.

      The number of car sales isn't from Obama, it's from GM:

      GM is a publicly-traded company. If it issued false statements, it would be seriously illegal. Are you accusing it of securities fraud, Rush?

      He's worried Obama may treat the military like Romney treated businesses he "restructured" in the 90s.

      Can someone explain this to me in language even boxtop could understand?

      Is America exceptional, or is it the worst nation in the world because a Democrat is president?

      I'm trying to figure out the Republican narrative, because, even though they're usually incredibly simple and juvenile, they seem to be at odds with each other right now.

        "'m trying to figure out the Republican narrative, because, even though they're usually incredibly simple and juvenile, they seem to be at odds with each other right now."


        Of course they are, Imbecile.

        This is similar to the twin narratives of President Obama being an all-powerful Marxist/Socialist/Communist/Muslim bent on US destruction -- while simultaneously being "an incomptent man-child who cannot speak without a teleprompter."

        It doesn't have to make sense -- just be negative. Keep that in mind, and it'll be easier to understand and accept {repeatedly butting your head against concrete helps, too.}

          Yeah, but, surely at least one of them, somewhere, stopped and said, "Wait a minute, something here doesn't add up...."

          I mean, it's just not possible that an entire political party is so entrenched in groupthink that they don't question anything they hear, ever.

            It fits in with the line of thought that says that government is too incompetent to handle Social Security or the postal service, but still believes that the government is behind massive conspiracies that would have to involve thousands of people.

            How about this:

            If America wasn't as exceptional as it truly is, it couldn't overcome having an incompetent muslim Marxist president who spent all those years listening to Reverend Wright and whose eeville plan to turn us into a fascist nation.

      Limbaugh is so transparent it's laughable. He's positively frantic in this tirade. It just shows that he doesn't want anything good to happen for this country if President Obama is in office. And he will go to any length to ignore or disbelieve any good news.

        That's what he's paid for, and when Obama gets his second term his ratings and impact will soften even further.

      If Rush doesn't accept GM's numbers, then it leads me to conclude that he doesn't believe in the American worker.

      If he doesn't believe in the American worker, does that mean he does not believe in American exceptionalism?

        He doesn't believe in union workers. He certainly doesn't believe in workers who work for a company with the "taint" of Obama associated with them.

        I am convinced that Rush would say negative things about his own mother if he found out that she had shaken hands with the President.

      and today the GOP tried to beat up on the CEO of GM at a hearing over the volt. and it is a non-story, but leave it to the GOP liars, like lumpy to not acknowledge, that GM had a fantastic quarter, and is now the largest auto co. again.

      oh, and if any of you have a chance to drive a VOLT, you will be amazed how quick and fun that car is to drive. and around 120mpg.... and watch how quickly GM adopts that drivetrain thru-out its models.....

      gas here in LA is over $4.50.

      Cmdr Pill Popper really makes me sick. Later in the broadcast, he says "America isn't a zero sum game. One person making a dollar does not equal someone else losing a dollar" I wonder if the 3,000 people that had to be laid off so he could make his multi million dollar salary feel the same?

      He's not refusing to believe the truth. He knows the truth. He's just got to work hard at making sure that his loyal groupies don't understand the truth. That's his job. To lie and put those lies out over the airwaves in the hopes that the majority of the mindless listeners will repeat those lies as fact. That's how propaganda works.

        Would that be the same Military that just freed an American woman Jessica Buchanan, and a Dane, Paul Thistead, from Somali kidnappers? Without a casualty? On the night of the State of the Union address? Dear me, this Mr. Obama is one fortunate( and skilled!) fellow. As a bonus , he has a group of nicompoops looking for a head nincompoop to oppose him for the Oval Office. And some say there is no God. Congratulations to the US Navy!
