Rush to POTUS: Bring it On
ABC News’ Rick Klein reports: Clearly enjoying the attention, radio host Rush Limbaugh today issued a debate challenge to President Obama, pitching the battle as one that will determine who will “own the United States of America.” “You’re a very courageous man, Mr. President. I am, after all, just The Last Man Standing. If you take me out, if you can wipe me out in a debate and prove to the rest of America that what I say is senseless and wrong, do you realize you will own the United States of America? You will have no opposition,” El Rushbo said on his program. No falling back on fiscal hard times, either: “I will cover the cost, Mr. President, so that the taxpayers do not have to pay for it, as they did your Super Bowl party, and as they do your Wednesday afternoon cocktail party. So you have no excuses,” he said. Egging him one, Rush continued: “I, Mr. President, will send my jet, EIB One, to pick you up and bring you here and take you back to wherever you want to go. You’d love it. It’s not as big and luxurious as your jet, but it’s got enough seats for your Secret Service detail. . . . I worked for it. I paid for it. Taxpayers pay you for your travel. Nobody pays me for mine. I pay for it. I pay for the airplane. I pay for the travel. I pay for practically everything I do. We can talk about that, too. I could tell you what that’s like.” No response yet from the White House. But after two straight days where Press Secretary Robert Gibbs talked extensively about Rush from the briefing room, challenging Republicans to say whether they, like Limbaugh, are rooting for the president “to fail,” Gibbs was asked about why he’s choosing to engage with Rush and on “cable chatter.” “It may be counterproductive,” Gibbs admitted, “It’s out there. We deal with it. I don’t — I certainly criticize it, and I even occasionally watch it. I don’t know if that makes me — like I said, whether it makes me hypocritical or not, I certainly believe that feeding it — undoubtedly, I’ll plead guilty to counterproductive.” UPDATE: That Gibbs response prompted a statement from Brad Dayspring, a spokesman for House Minority Whip Eric Cantor, R-Va.: "Now that the Obama Administration has declared their own distractions, diversions and manipulations strategy to be counterproductive, House Republicans would like to see this Administration join us in our bipartisan national conversation about job creation, stimulating small business and middle class tax relief. They should apologize to the American people for supporting these tactics and get back to work." ABC News’ Sunlen Miller and Mark Mooney contributed to this report.

Yeah, show that Obama! He absolutely should debate you on how the policies that you’re advocating have let our country into the financial toilet bowl we’re currently in. You would win the debate hands-down, Rush! Get that Obama!

GO Rush. The Bamster and his merry band of thieves were stupid to engage Rush, and now, they’ll look like sissies if they are all talk and no action. C’mon, Obama, man up. GO take it to Rush … if you dare. lol
Posted by: Kitty | March 4, 2009, 4:24 pm 4:24 pm
Rush, why would you waste your time debating Obama? You know absolutely everything. You’re so smart that you think Teleprompters are used in debates! But, let’s not talk about how smart you are… Let’s talk about how kind you are. Your heart of gold was demonstrated time and again when you attacked Michael J. Fox for having Parkinson’s Disease. Yeah, Rush, you’re a real class act, my friend. That’s why we love you! Keep up the great work! The Obamessiah can’t hold a candle to you!!!!!

Angie, angie, angie …
The White House started this little charade. Rush just voiced out loud what a great number of Americans feel: WE WANT 0BAMA TO FAIL as president. Get It? Freedom of speech? When the guy can’t take the heat, he needs to close the restaurant.

This man´s ego is fatter than he is and
he is just lapping up all this media attention. How egotistical to think that he´d be the last man standing? I doubt that thinking Republicans, and there must be some, care to have gushy Rush labeled as the leader of the GOP.
And the quips about taxpayers paying for Obama´s entertaining of political leaders are really stupid (but then, so is Rush). All right, Romney, Jindal, Crist, etc., start showing who the real leaders are.
Posted by: BachisBest | March 4, 2009, 4:28 pm 4:28 pm
He won’t. He knows he would get schooled so badly that liberal’s heads would explode just like the aliens on When Mars Attacks.
POP – green goo everywhere at the sight of their leader losing to their biggest enemy, Rush.
I hope for the challenge too. Put Mr College Boy up against Rush. Should be an easy win for Obama, since he is the educated one and liberals loooove education and tout it so. Put it to the test. Leader vs leader.
Posted by: Trace | March 4, 2009, 4:28 pm 4:28 pm
Actually, Obama has ALREADY CRUSHED RUSH! Obama was elected President of the United States.
Rush was not elected to anything by anybody!
In fact, what little power he did have he was unable to either
1) cause Hillary to win the nomination (which he desperately tried to do)
and
2) cause McCain to win the Presidency.
So, again, Rush has already LOST — and Obama has already WON!

Kate:”Rush would CRUSH Obama!!!
To teleprompters! What on earth would he do? ”
Probably the same as in the press conferences where he only used the teleprompters for his opening comment. Or how he did taking questions from Republicans in the recent economic forum (I suppose you believe they secretly gave him the questions ahead of time and had teleprompters hidden just off screen?). He didn’t get through the ivy league on his daddy’s coattails like Bush or Kerry, Obama isn’t a performer like Rush but he can think on his feet.

Did you miss that they want to give 0bama cliff notes on the names of reporters and where the planted questions are in the “news conferences” so he doesn’t look so unpresidential? hahahaha ROFLMAO! Have you seen enough yet to know that no telempromptr = disaster?

Rush, why would you even give Obama the time of day. You’re white; he’s black. Shouldn’t he just do like you told your black caller: “Take the bone out of his nose and call you back”?
Or, as you said before, who cares what black people think? You said it so eloquently, “Why should Blacks be heard? They’re 12% of the population.
Who the hell cares.” Why should you start listening to them now?
Posted by: I Love Rush Because Rush Loves Me | March 4, 2009, 4:35 pm 4:35 pm
Small businesses own America, and Americans better start supporting them as opposed to those greedy corporations. If we don’t start supporting the little guys, we’ll be living off of food stamps, rationed bread and beans, etc. Obama’s not one bit for the little guy, so why did he get in? Oh, it’s because of the word “Change”. Tell me, is “change” really what we think it is? I think not.

What an egomaniac. The Republicans are letting that man destroy their party. It’s a contest to see how small a tent the GOP can have. Now no moderates can possibly win primary election and no wing nuts can win general election. Specter will lose his primary, and the nutjob the GOP nominates will lose in the general election to the democrat candidate. This will be followed by every moderate state in the nation, so there will be a few crazy right-wing nutjobs grasping onto a smattering of states in the south and midwest.
The Republicans couldn’t have found a bigger, fatter wedge to drive right down the middle of their party.

“Rush would CRUSH Obama!!!” He would out scream him for sure but that’s not winning, except for people with a mentality lower than the apes. Obama I think would make Rush look like a fool to 90% of any group observing. Of course, the in your face crowd loves this sort of thing because they don’t know any better. Rush is a loser and he may own 20% of the population who are nitwits to start with. Anyone with a brain thinks he’s nothing more than a clown.

Perhaps Mr. Limbaugh expects the President of the United States to bow down to him too? Maybe if the Republicans got off their hands and knees worshipping the blowhard, they could actually get something done and get some self-respect.

Rush and his GOP buddies and, of course, Bush, is why this country is in the present disaster mode it is in. I sincerely hope Obama ignores this ugle, fat, loud mouth, arrogant, stupid, blow fish.
Posted by: US Citizen | March 4, 2009, 4:42 pm 4:42 pm
Why does Obama have to sumo wrestle Rush for the crown again?
I thought we elected the president.
Mount Rushmore needs to go back to grade school civics class.
But it’s ok. I’m more than happy to watch Rush do a belly flop into the middle of the GOP.
Forget Palin/Jindal, let’s see a Rush/Rush’s Ego ticket in 2012! He’s the biggest, fattest gift anyone has given the Democrats in a long, long time.
Posted by: Wait. . . | March 4, 2009, 4:43 pm 4:43 pm
LOL Could Rush even handle a contrary viewpoint? The people who call into his show and listen to him are dittoheads. He probably wouldn’t know what to do when someone disagreed with him! LOL
Posted by: Dittoheads Unite! | March 4, 2009, 4:43 pm 4:43 pm
@Kate.. you better check your facts Pres. Obama did NOT go to school on Affirmative Action. He worked his way through school and took out loans… His apps never even had his race on it.. so how could it be for that. You don’t know what you are talking about.
Besides.. why should the Prez waste his time with a low life druggie like Rush?? He is nothing but scum.
Even his own “Ditto heads” tried to get him to have this at Prime time so everyone could see it and he refused.. he wants to control it all.. well why, what is he afraid of?? and why should the Pres. come to him.. let Rush go to the Pres.

Mr. Fabins – that’s called “craniusrectitis”. Rush is definitely suffering from it.
Posted by: libertyrulz | March 4, 2009, 4:44 pm 4:44 pm
Rush would absolutely destroy Obama. Obama can’t survive without talking points and a teleprompter. Obama is also unable to answer direct questions, and typically refers to his pre-memorized scripts. I would bet Obama and Gibbs will totally ignore Rush now and not even mention Rush’s challenge. I can’t believe the Justice Department is not investigating Rahm Emanual for conspiring with the liberal news media to attack Rush. After all, Rush is a private citizen and not a government official.
Posted by: HotCarl | March 4, 2009, 4:44 pm 4:44 pm
Liburtyrulz … sorry that Rush’s point missed you …. he was trying to point out that he had actually worked for a living … you know, not suckled at the government teet for his entire working life and had been able to earn the money to pay for these things himself versus the tax payers buying them for him … you might want to reread it?
Posted by: beebop | March 4, 2009, 4:44 pm 4:44 pm
Knowing Limbaugh’s past drug abuse, I would recommend a really close watch so that he doesn’t attempt to physically harm President Obama. You never know what a drugged out psycho believes he’s capable of doing. There are psycho hospitals across the country with folks who have deluded themselves (with the help of drugs) into thinking they need to kill. Limbaugh’s quite capable of doing that, especially considering his warped ego.
Posted by: hang | March 4, 2009, 4:44 pm 4:44 pm
Obama is very clear. The American people own the United State of America. Obama has said it over and over. He works for the American People. I’d be worried about someone like Rush Limbaugh thinking he owns the United States of America. That sounds like megalomania to me.

Rush would probably talk so much and so loudly that no one would get any air time. He is a blowhard that is only out for himself and not to be trusted. President Obama has bigger things to do than deal Joe the Plumber’s long lost dad. Send Rush back to rehab.

It was an idiotic question to begin with. “Do you hope Obama succeeds?” It’s a loaded question. If you answer yes, then you are a supporter. If you don’t answer yes, you are an ‘ill-wisher.’ It’s ridiculous. Can’t we get past this obvious smear campaign by the Demogogues and discuss how these plans are going to bankrupt or help us?
Posted by: lukematthews | March 4, 2009, 4:45 pm 4:45 pm
As much as I think Rush is a blowhard, Obama better stay clear of this one. Obama’s spending is so out of control that Rush will win this one. The only way for Obama to beat rush is to adopt all of Ron Paul’s positions.

Is this a junta ? Are we to loss now because Rush wants to take charge and kill all liberals ? I think he does and I think he would if he could THIS IS SCARY STUFF.and I don’t trust anyone who goes along with this to be any better than he is. This really is how people start to die and loose their rights. They did this for the war anyone who did not stand with them was evil and unpatriotic, now they are doing it to us because we won the election fair and square and they can not abide it. Next thing you know Rush will make everyone have yellow plastic ribbons on their mini-vans that say I support Rush.

Dear Mr. President: Don’t waste your time with this drugged out, over-weight waste of skin. He belongs to the extreme far right. They can have him. OWN the US? Rush Limbaugh thinks he could OWN the 62 MILLION plus Americans who voted for you? As one of your voters in 2008 and a voter for your ticket in 2012, I would urge you to ignore this man’s adolescent behavior, and I would stress that you sit down with Robert Gibb and advise him to be a bit better in (a) vetting what is truly important to be handled in day to day communications, and (b) that he be wiser in his choice of what he listens to. Not that it would change his mind, you understand. But that it is a waste of time. He could be playing with a wii or watching golf, or taking care of a hang nail — all things much more important than responding to inane attention-getting schemes by the ugly, punditic entertainment.

You lefties are a victim of the hate you spewed at shrub for eight years. You would eat your own young to maintain an argument about the other party. What you want to do is control all discussion. Rush didn’t start this. He’s a private citizen and short of yelling FIRE in a public building and threatening someone’s life, his opinions are his. Grow up. Get a grip. America is inclusive, remember?

Dear PATHETIC Liberals that don’t have a clue to what’s going on. The White House engaged Rush, not the other way around. Obama drew first blood. Hello McFly anybody home!!!
Liberals hear that Rush and Obama are at it and they swarm to Obama’s feet without even knowing what’s going on. Typical liberal lapdogs.

Let’s face it. This entire administration is nothing but a gaggle of baffons. As soon as they realize they are in over their heads, the better off this country will be.
I am not a Rush fan, but I too hope the President’s plan fails – soon. Because it will utimately fail and the sooner we move on to serious solutions the better off we will be. Democrats will never learn that simply thowing money (in this case, borrowed money) only exerbates the problem.
This is a BIG repeat of exactly what got us into this situation. Viva the black Jimmy Carter.

No Beebop,
You miss the point.
Government work IS work.
I know the GOP can’t figure it out. And they run for office as anti-government.
Even though they want you to vote them into government jobs.
“Vote for me to hold this government job. Because government can’t do anything right.”
Look at Katrina. Look at our economy. THAT’S what happens when you hire incompetents (aka Republicans) to do important work.
That’s why we hired someone who can do the job.
If I saw “I hate this job and I think it’s impossible to succeed at this job” on a resume, I’m pretty sure that would go straight into the shredder. But that’s how republicans seem to think they can get those jobs.
Hey, Brownie, you’re doing a heckuva job.

Where was your little challenge when Bush was in office? So, Mr. President let him live in his little world and ignore the people like Rush who stand in the way instead of lending a hand because you have way better things to do, because as hard as you work to make everybody happy, challenging him won’t change one thing.

What is wrong with this dude? What plane dropped him off from the middle of nowhere? He is wasting air for what? Rush, get a clue…if you want a debate, debate with the man upstairs, he’s the one in control!!! Everything YOU think you paid for or got on your own…Think again sweetie!! It was given to you and can be taken. What an ego!!!

beebop:”You lefties are a victim of the hate you spewed at shrub for eight years.”
The FACT is that Bush had the highest approval rating of any president, ever, while having hate spewed at him.
The FACT is that Congressional Democrats did not filibuster his signature tax cuts, even after his close win. They respected his mandate.
The FACT is that the non-critical press Bush received is widely accepted to have been overly supportive of his Iraq war rationale.
The FACT is that Bush became a wide target of disgust – by both parties – after the proven failure of his policy, well over halfway through his presidency.

Reading the comments by repugs has left believing they are the most unAmerican people that would never come together and fix the problems that plaque us. Rush is a bitter moron and he has already lost since Obama has won the Presidency. He is so concern about everything the President is doing is being paid by the Tax Payers, well every President in history has been paid by the tax payer. Why is it that the Republicans want his to be treated differently, because repugs are not so keen on racial issues. Keep up the bitterness and anger repugs it will evetually destroy your whole party.

Rush is getting too big for his breeches. Obama is THE PRESIDENT and people elected him. He debated his challengers. He does not need to stoop down to Rush’ level. Rush is looking for attention. Ok he has a plane he paid for – so what. Presidents have always had the planes at their disposal. I sense racism in this challenge. Who is Rush to Challenge the plane Obama gets to travel in or the parties Obama gives at the White House. Rush needs to mind his own business. He is wanting Obama to fail so some GOP could win next time.

It seems that you have a problem with Mr. Obama’s skin color not his policy and the same holds true with the GOP Leader. You are a racist and you wear that proudly on your your sleeve. Mr. Obama is going to shut that pie hole of yours soon enough. However, when you hope he fails you also hope that America fails too.

Just a note to those on the “socialist” or “government’s taking over” train. We trusted consumers not to bury themselves in debt. We trusted investors to not invest blindly in the follies of the consumer. We trusted regulators to keep tabs on the investors. The rest of the world trusted our regulators and did no due diligence of their own when buying our toxic assets. Governments had better step in now, because –everyone– else from the ground up has already f^&ked it all up. If you’ve got a better idea, let’s hear it.

So we have name calling by the liberals in here calling Rush names as a way to expel their hatred. Nice.
It is just a challenge people. The White House has been attacking him and telling everyone that he is the leader. Rush is just responding to the leader of the White House.

But there is something pathetic about a president challenging a private citizen “blow hard that he is” to discredit a political party that almost half the country supports. I see a future of blunders a freshman president is going to make.
At least FDR had terms as a governor and a secretary before he was president.
Posted by: Steve | March 4, 2009, 5:03 pm 5:03 pm
Are you people serious? Of course Rush would crush Obama in a debate because Rush has nothing to lose and everything to gain. Why would Obama put himself in a verbal confrontation with a “shock jock” while Obama, himself, has to play by the politically correct rules of American expectation. Obama can only say so much to appease the masses while Rush is free to say pretty much whatever he wants. Rush Limbaugh understands this very well and that’s why he’s so quick to call out Obama. Any of you self-proclaimed “dittos” that don’t understand this need practice thinking for yourself. But then again, the word “ditto” is simply a carbon copy, so what should one expect.

Out of curiosity… of the people that have read this little story, and left comments (or thought about it), was anyone able to make an observation or comment that wasn’t personally driven?
Clearly, there are going to be extreme opinions regardless of the topic, the rhetoric, or the people involved. What is interesting to note is that more people feel the need to be heard than to listen. The man has had a little over a month in office; how about seeing if you can sit back and watch/listen as these politicians and entertainers create a track record within the specified time line of events first?
It’s America folks – no one is going to step all over your right to be heard, just try to make sure that what you’re screaming at the top of your lungs is a bit more intelligent that the average school yard slam.
Besides if you really are THAT concerned about who’s in charge and how they are/aren’t representing your ideals (but you aren’t willing to step up and take the banner yourself)then move. This country is chalk full of opinionated, self serving, and self righteous a**holes as it is, and it would be nice if a few could wait until they had something a bit more intelligent to say.
No one denies your right to say it, but surely you’d prefer that your audience could actually take you seriously.

This is so puzzling. Rush is universally loathed, except by the rightwing nuttiest base. The more Rush attacks Obama, the higher Obama’s ratings go. The more Republicans apologize to Rush, and invite him to address their meetings, the more people associate Rush as the leader of the Republican Party. And down go the Republican approval ratings.
Maybe Rush ought to attack the stock market. That might make it go up.
Posted by: Amy in Maine | March 4, 2009, 5:09 pm 5:09 pm
Rush seems to be confused that we live in a democracy. No one leader ‘owns’ the U.S.
And how would a debate cancel out our election results?
Rush makes it sound like he does manual labor or solves difficult problems for a living. He ‘earned’ his money yelling at people, making crazy comments and feeding the fear and anger of his listeners with half-truths and outright lies.
I fear Rush has truly become an egomaniac that his act has become his personality.
After Republican politicians apologized to him, Rush’s problem got much worse. Hopefully Gibbs will stop talking about him now, as feeding Rush’s ego has loosened his grip on reality.

This is so unfair. Gibbs was asked by the Reporters to comment and he then suggested that they ask the Republicans, Rush has never been one of his briefing points. The reporters are the ones that can’t let go and if he ignores them, then that in itself will make news.
Until we are required to say President Limbaugh, he has no power, and if he had so much influence President Obama would never have elected. We have more pressing issues then to concentrate on the party of the Petty,it happened throughout the campaign, until the economic crisis brought us back to earth. I hold the reporters responsible for this shoddy journalism. Ask sensible questions and highlight the issues, leave the side shows to SNL and the Daily Show.

Rush never served this country in any capacity, he got out of Nam for “medical” reasons. Like many neocons let someone else do the fighting for them.
Rush about having little time for love: “I’m too much in love with myself.”

I don’t know how Obama could win this argument. On the other hand I oppose bailouts of any kind unless there is a reasonable chance the entity could become solvent in the near future. The banks & auto companies who had horrible business practices over the last few decades need to fail. That’s how capitalism works, and that’s how things get better. The bad practices have to fail so the good ones can take their place. Saying that some company is too big to fail is basically bending over and writing a blank check. At least don’t steal money from the rest of the people because you think something is “too big to fail”. Let it fail. I bet the sun will still rise tomorrow and my best guess is that the companies who take the place of the failed ones will watch their bottom line WAY closer.

Shrub has left the White House ….
I was talking about YOU … so unless you’re George W Bush, there is no logic to your last post.
Saying but but but but Bush makes no more sense than the republicans saying but but but but Clinton when they couldn’t think of an answer …. find an answer and stick with it, my man. You are going to have lots of ‘splaining to do during the next terrible four years. I have another newsflash for you …. this is only the tip of the iceberg … danger lays ahead.

I am not an Obama supporter but Rush is a freaking windbag. I would not want him in any position of authority.
Posted by: NoSpin1600 | March 4, 2009, 5:16 pm 5:16 pm
It looks like all the drugs that Rush abused have gone to his head. He now thinks that he is some sort of leader that the President must answer to, Rush doesn’t realize that he is just a gnat in comparison.
Posted by: Rushisamoron | March 4, 2009, 5:17 pm 5:17 pm
Seems pretty clear to me that Rush views himself as the leader of the GOP. I mean, if he wasn’t the leader of the GOP, he would be delusional to call out the PRESIDENT OF THE FRICKING UNITED STATES, right?
I mean, pretty much only heads of state do that, you know like Chavez and Castro and Ahmadinejad. So, apparently Rushbo isn’t merely the leader of the GOP, he is the leader of some nation we haven’t heard of…maybe Limbaughistan or something.
Normally, I don’t believe that presidents should dignify this sort of nonsense –but in this case, I think Obama should debate the fat pantload with one exception –Supreme DICKtator for life Limbaugh can’t talk about the debate on his show afterwards, one way or the other. Just so there is no rewriting of history after Obama destroys the moron with actual, you know, facts.

Oh my, I love Rush because Rush Love Me, you wish we only made up 12% of this population. You will soon be the minority! Not that color has anything to do with ignorance but Thank goodness Bush is not in control of this County. And you and Rush both sound a little paranoid and scizo. PRESIDENT OBAMA wouldn’t give Rush the time of day. He’s to busy taking care of real American issues. He’s doesn’t really have the personality to do comedy (Radio Personality)PRESIDENT OBAMA, COMMANDER AND CHIEF OBAMA already proved he’s intelligent. Oh and MILLIONS possibly BILLIONS listened!
Posted by: Angela | March 4, 2009, 5:17 pm 5:17 pm
I’m just curious. If Rush is so smart, and cares so much for the well being of his country, and has all the answers to solve all the problems, then why in the world would he not run for the highest office in the land. It seems to me to be Un-American to be hold this knowledge and not use it for the good of the country. Why? Why? You know why you dumba** Republicans…. because he does not know how to solve nothing except how to open a bottle of hydrcodones. He is just a overweight, pill eating idiot that uses the media as a platform to allow him to continue to sit on his a**. Republicans are a bunch of girls…to bow down like a punk because you are scared of this piece of fat back. REPUBLICANS if you have all the answers than post them. I don’t want a link to some b.s. website, I don’t want to hear what the Dems are doing wrong I want to hear YOUR ANSWERS!!!

Rush Limbaugh should be an embarrassment to any American Democrat or Republican, liberal or conservative. One of the most heartless, dis-compassionate people in the States today. Why is sorry excuse for a human being still on the radio? Why does anyone care about what he says? Why is this drug addict not in prison?
Posted by: Rod1148 | March 4, 2009, 5:17 pm 5:17 pm
I don’t understand … Rush is not an elected official, otherwise he should make a bid for office, perhaps the Presidency in 2012? Even a Palin/Obama debate, albeit laughable, would have more credibility. What’s next — Joe the Plumber challenging the President to a debate? President Obama just needs to stick to the business of running the country and ignore this Rush clown.
Posted by: em | March 4, 2009, 5:18 pm 5:18 pm
Rush, how about your run for president, win the republican nomination, and then I’m sure Obama will be happy to debate you in about 3 ½ years. But for now you are merely a blowhard. Really Rush run for office, any office and let’s see how you do.

I’ve never heard of an American President debating a radio entertainer. The radio personality and the party are disrespectful and belittling America. Typical of the new republcian party under Rush. The party has no leadership. Where are the honorable repubicans? They seem to be cowering to their almighty Rush.

Y’know, Stephen Colberrrrr can go around issuing challenges like this, and people actually take him up on it. Why? Because Stephen ColberT is a genuinely sweet, likable guy.
Rush Limbaugh on the other hand makes fun of Vietnam war veterans’ service, makes fun of people with Parkinson’s disease.
As someone who used to vote republican (voted McCain in 2000) I’m horrified the party has been taken over by a fake hip-hop wannabe, a drug addict, and some psychopath who would be boiling Mr. Snuggles on your stove if it weren’t for the fact she fell in love with Politics first.
The republicans are just marginalizing themselves. They’re making Libertarians seem mainstream.

To all of you that are saying that President Obama is at fault for this mess that we are in at this moment. Grow up!!! Bush let this country fail. He (Bush) was not paying attention to the country like he should have been. He was to busy stepping on the Constitution and helping his buddies out. Every venture that bush has took on in his life has been a disaster.Every business venture that he was apart of failed. So him failing with running this country was nothing new. If the republicans have a better solution then why don’t they speak up? I believe because they do not have a better solution,they have no solution. Pres Obama is trying to do something that has never been tried before, it may or may not work but at least it is something. Bush did not do anything.I don’t like spending all that money either but it seems like there is no other choice. Pres Obama never said that this was going to work 100%, he never said that it was going to be easy. Everyone has to have some patience with this whole thing.Rush Limbaugh really is the last person to be talking about anything considering his past.

A little envious Rush? It shows. You are only known in the US. Obama is respected throughout the world. Only a small percent of Americans even listen to you, and even fewer respect you. Disrespect America to drum up your rating and get a few million more in a contract is deplorable behavior. You are a disgrace. And I’m a lifelong republcian!

Evidently you don’t read the polls. Obama went from an approval rating of 87% to 57% according to the Rasmussen poll. He is at 37% in other polls.
Even the poll that gives him the highest rating: 67% has him down by at least 20%.
As for Rush, his audience seems to be increasing.

I am wondering whether you are an authority of how Kerry got into college? Of Rush’s entire background?

Larry King has better social standing in the US than “Birch Barlow”. Is Rush the loudest, fattest guy on radio because everyone hates him, or does everyone hate him because he’s the loudest, fattest man on radio? I’d personally like to see John McCain fight Rush because I’d really like to see Rush cry in public.

The White House will walk away from this challenge. I wish they wouldn’t – I wish that the President would step up and defend his administration and the direction he is taking this country. But he will – because if he loses or has the perception of losing then the rest of his Presidency will be a joke. Imagine if he beats Rush – he would have an open ticket for the next 8 years. He will never take the risk – because, quite frankly, he has too much to loose.

Rush doesn’t want Obama to fail per se, he wants Obama’s socialistic agenda to fail. Obama wants to end captialism. With his announcements he has declared war on it. Gibbs is trying to make it sound like Rush wants AMERICA to fail. Its the typical rhetoric that Gibbs uses. He did the same thing to Rick Santelli. As a previous poster stated if Gibbs and Obama can’t take criticism then they weren’t ready for this job.
He has caused the stock market to tank with his announcements. Think of the wealth that has been lost over him speaking. If he didn’t speak he have a free stimulus plan…by letting people keep their wealth. But he doesn’t want that. He wants wealth redistributed…Why doesn’t he ask Nancy Pelosi, Jane Harman, Oprah, and the rest of the gang to start spreading their wealth like Bill Gates and Warren Buffet did…

Rush is way out of line. We’re not here to determine who wins or loses a debate. Our society is struggling and Rush’s way has had no impact on finding a way out. It’s his way or no way – that’s not what our society is about. Nice try Rush but you’ve done nothing to lead anything. Congratulations on your financial success (you’re so proud of).

Posted by: TR | March 4, 2009, 5:31 pm 5:31 pm
Skipping over all of the rhetoric and banter … Rush is the “overlooked/ignored bully” … since he was not invited to the press luncheon with the President and the President has chosen NOT to dignify any of his comments with a response (among other personal issues he may have against the President), he has decided to turn up the noise and challenge the President to a debate.
He appears to be looking for validation for his position as an out of touch political shock jock. What better way to get validation than from the President of the United States. If that were to happen, he would REALLY be uncontrollable … especially since the leadership of the GOP is unable to pull the reigns in on one of their party-created monsters.
From an outsider’s perspective, Rush has been very entertaining lately. The comedy increased with the apparent indecisiveness of the leadership of the GOP. Unfortunately, the actions of the Party leadership shows why the approval rate for its members continues to decline and why the Republican incumbents will be in the fights for their political careers. America is tired of wishy-washy leaders.
I imagine that the Rush Circus will continue to escalate further out of control as the President stays focused on what is really important; getting the country back on track. Eventually, the Circus will close down because people will see him (Mr. Limbaugh) for what he is … a washed up spoiled brat with a loud mouth.

Rush must be back to popping those pills again. He’s delusional. Obama has barely been in office for barely 43 days.

His approval rating is falling like the dow. I’m one of them jumping ship.

Rush is a big mouth pill popping entertainer and Obama is President of the United States. Obama shouldnt even acknowledge Rush in any way. He is so above Rush and Hannidy. Rush knows he has a bunch of stupid followers that do not realize that Rush make millions off having a Dem in office. Clinton made him famous. Whats so sad about it is many Republicans acually consider this big mouth entertainer as head of their broken party. Rush, Steele, Palin. Thats our Republican future if you want to call it that. Rush also needs to know along with his flock of sheep that a vast majority of this country support Obama and what he is doing.

Rush is going to do for the Republican party what the Christian Coalition and the Moral Majority couldn’t. He’s going to drive it off the cliff and kill it. The only thing more frightening than a far left liberal is a crazy ultra radical conservative.

Obama just won an election, Rush. If you really think you can wipe him out in a debate, then feel free to run in 2012. That would be fun to watch.
But right now PBO’s got 8 years of Republican mess to clean up.
Posted by: El_Pajaro | March 4, 2009, 5:39 pm 5:39 pm
Republicans have sunk to a new low if they’re so called leadership has to apologize and suck up to Rush, the brainless hypocrite. He is no match for Obama and to suggest otherwise is ignorance and stupity. Rush, the bloated toad. Also, to desire for the president to fail is just the type of behavior you expect from the far right. I would laugh out loud if it wasn’t so pathetic.
Posted by: Jeffers13450 | March 4, 2009, 5:39 pm 5:39 pm
Why is it so much easier to be negative than positive? Grow up. Rush sounds like a 2nd grader picking a fight with someone who showed him up during class. Deal with the next 4-8 yrs. like a man.

Try to chew a few less oxys Rush – all Obama would have to do is let your own ego consume you, like it does every time you open your mouth. If it was a fight, it would never be scheduled because it would be a tomato can beating.

Isn’t funny that the Obamanites love to talk about about Rush being a druggy because he got addicted to prescription pain killers after having spinal surgery. If they will remember President Barry wrote a book talking of his cocaine use and smoking pot. Excuse me I doubt if he only tried it once. And yes Bush admitted drug use too. So why don’t you Obamanites quit throwing up the fact of his pill use. Rush did not start this RAUM EMANUEL and James Carville did and Obama was in on it. Rush is just standing up as a private citizen and saying BRING IT ON! I DO NOT AGREE WITH YOUR LIBERAL SOCIALIST POLICIES DIRECTED AT MAKING GOVERNMENT BIGGER SO EVEYONE HAS TO DEPEND ON IT! I know liberals have no problem with it because they do not want to do anything for themselves or take any personal responsibilty. THEY ARE ALL VICTIMS NOTHING IS THIER FAULT. OBAMA DOES NOT HAVE THE GUTS TO DEBATE LIMBAUGH

Do you really think that with all of the critical issues this country faces both domestically and internationally, that the President of the United States has the time to debate a radio celebrity? How dare Limbaugh even suggest that a debate will determine who “owns America.” This is a government of the people, by the people and for the people and the people decided last November who we wanted for our next president. His name is OBAMA. I think that Mr. Limbaugh is a tad bit ego maniacal. It also goes to show how desperate the Republicans are to fill their leadership vacuum. But you know what? If Rush decides to run for President in 2012, the Republicans might want to consider Don King as his ideal running mate – birds of a feather.

What’s that line about casting not thy pearls amongst swine? Rush fits the bill in his porcine appearance. He fits the bill in his bloviating pustulating manner of self-righteous delivery.
The President has higher priorities than appearing on this “entertainer’s” rabble rousing radio program.
The President’s staff could send a sweet little letter thanking Rush profusely for the free ticket. Would warmed oxycontins be served on board in lieu of warned nuts? Or is Rush the only nut?

Penny says Rush is sick in the brain. I totally agree! Why would a man of his age and blubber want to fight? Isn’t that for 2 year olds?? The man has some serious issues. Even if there were a “fight”, Obama would pulverize him with one kick to his fat gut.

Rush, stop taking those pain pills!, You don’t own the U.S.!! well you just own 1/350,000,000 of it, just like every other citizen. Ahh free speech is a wonderful thing. But that sounded too much like a threat, seems like Rush has been dusting off his swastika. It’s ironic how those who profess to “love this country” want the policies that may help this country fail. Instead of being just a bullypulpit for the right wing nuts, how about calmly (if that can be achieved with this guy) offer a solution. Finally, I love it when the GOP complain this housing plan isn’t fair. Well, I don’t know what fantasy island they grew up on, but who ever said life is fair!, And I thought helping your fellow citizens was a “christian virtue”, hmm, interesting.

My God, has the few sensible Republicans lost their minds allowing this fool to speak for them.

The only reason Obama got elected was because he was black. Not a single vote that went to Obama was an educated vote. How much research did you liberals actually do before you voted? You want to blame our current economy on bush but the last 4 years the house was full of you liberals and the house controls the money so how is it Bush’s fault again? The highest the economy ever been was when it was under the republicans in 04. But I hope you pro abortion, pro gun control, anti-American liberals choke

Rush is a pompous ass and has done absolutely nothing to raise the level of debate in this country. Rather he dumbs down the debate and then blames the deterioration of American society he helped create. Typical loudmouth. He needs to stay off his drugs. He is delusional. He says he loves America….maybe, but nowhere near as much as he loves himself…

Long before the national media spotlight began to shine on every twist and turn of his life’s journey, Barack Obama had this to say about himself: “Junkie. Pothead. That’s where I’d been headed: the final, fatal role of the young would-be black man. . . . I got high [to] push questions of who I was out of my mind.”
Washington Post
At least Rush started out in pain

His whole body projects the inner evil he obviously has going inside his soul. WAKE UP RUSH WORSHIPERS! He’s the antichrist! That chest thump he now does it’s soooo Hitler like.

Posted by: Billie | March 4, 2009, 5:48 pm 5:48 pm
What I want to know is why would Obama bother to say things about Rush Limbaugh. Could it be that his ego is so big that he couldn’t let it bounce off him? He is way too thin skinned to be our leader and Rush is exposing this. Obama has ego problem and this was written about many times during the primary by experts that analyzed his personality. Bush was constantly attacked by everyone in every direction and he never wavered or fought back. Not even to the media that hated him.
Posted by: jet | March 4, 2009, 5:48 pm 5:48 pm
You know it is just ridiculous the haters out there against the President.All of a sudden the Republicans better known as the repelicans – known for their BIG bills that they try to engulf every thing into disregarding the needs of others but NOW they are sooooooo concerned about every dollar and how it is spent. Where were you guys when Bush was wacking this economy of this country up? Could no one “reach across the aisle” and tell him he was screwing up BIG TIME!!!!! No because guess why – you all were skimming off the top!!!! Everybody had a back itch and everybody’s back got scratched. Then all of you became the three blind mice and the monkeys that heard no evil, spoke no evil, and of course you didn’t see any evil. WELL the party’s over! Don’t get mad because we now have a President that’s going to oversee all this “spending AND hold you to a degree of accountability!! All of you repelicans are wolves dressed in sheep clothing. As if 4 years weren’t enough you voted that scumbag bush in for a second term- he is dumber than a box of rocks – can’t speak a straight sentence with proper subject and verb agreement and you all want to have a beef with President Obama? Don’t hate congratulate because whether you like it or not history has been made and one thing for damn sure President Obama only has one way he can go and that’s up because your fellow repelican took this country to the bottom of the barrel and scraped it!!!!!!!!!!! NOW RUN AND TELL THAT!!!!!!

Obama has learned well from his Marxist mentor, Saul Alinsky. Alinsky’s 13 rules for radicals:
1. Power is not only what you have but what the enemy thinks you have.
2. Never go outside the experience of your people.
3. Whenever possible, go outside of the experience of the enemy.
4. Make the enemy live up to their own book of rules.
5. Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon.
6. A good tactic is one that your people enjoy.
7. A tactic that drags on too long becomes a drag.
8. Keep the pressure on with different tactics and actions, and utilize all events of the period for your purpose.
9. The threat is usually more terrifying than the thing itself.
10. The major premise for tactics is the development of operations that will maintain a constant pressure upon the opposition.
11. If you push a negative hard and deep enough, it will break through into its counterside.
12. The price of a successful attack is a constructive alternative.
13. Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.
Chilling how many of these we’ve seen implemented by the Obama team during the campaign and since the election.

Well, for 4 years you have not truly paid your fair share of taxes (you make over 400,000 dollars per year) and you are showing that you can obviously afford to pay what you actually should have been paying for the past 8 years. If Obama’s plan fails as you have so blatantly proclaimed you would like to happen, America fails….Are you a patriot too?

Yes it’s ok for you to make your little comments about my President but he’s your too!!! I think Obama should silence him in the very same way That “W” silenced them damn Dixie Chicks when they got outta line! So Rush you are steady talking about this debate, your wasting taxpayer’s time and money listenening to this filth!!! that you are promoting, just anything to get a listener, huh?? This man worked just as hard,if not harder than you have, will, or ever will for that matter to get where he is, and AGAIN IT’S NOT HIS FAULT THAT WE ARE IN THE PREDICIMENT WE ARE IN NOW, YOU ARE NOT A TRUE AMERICAN AND HAVE NO PRIDE IN THE COUNTRY THAT HAS GIVEN YOU ALL OF THOSE RIGHTS YOU ARE ENJOYING NOW, IF YOU WANT HIM TO FAIL, IF HE FAILS YOU FAIL!!!!

Obama is too naive to realize that he’s tilting at windmills, like Don Quixote did in Man of La Mancha. He is also acting cowardly (read “scared”). For heaven’s sake, Rush is a mere radio performer and a private American citizen. He is no match for Obama’s bully pulpit power as President. Imagine if George Bush had personally gone after the likes of some detractor like Barbara Streisand or Michael Moore the way that Obama has singled out Rush. The libs would have been absolutely appalled, yet, Obama gets a pass simply because he is the messiah. Pretty absurd when you think of it in those terms, huh? Look, whatever you think of Rush and what he represents isn’t the point. The point is that he has successfully:
a) Improved his show’s ratings, and
b) Shown the world that Obama and his henchmen are really just cowards and bullies.

What I would like to know is what makes Rush Limbaugh so important? He is just a radio personality and thoroughly enjoys making people angry. So what! Too many people from just about every walk of life allow themselves to be sucked into debating what Rush Limbaugh says. Democrats have nothing valuable to offer? Bash Rush. Republicans have nothing valuable to offer? Bash Rush. If I recall correctly, Rush Limbaugh has managed to suck three Presidential administrations into “his world” (Obama, Bush Jr., and Clinton). Good job, Rush. This truly does show how powerful others have let you become.

If Rush is so passionate about this country why doesn’t he run for a political office and lead his followers in a different direction….For him it’s easy to criticize behind a microphone and not be held accountable than to get out and run for office…But he doesn’t make mention of his ‘little episode in Florida regarding his medications…You go Rush…The new leader of the free world…..

I’m not a Rush fan, but he’s spot-on on this one. Issuing a invitation to debate the president (who started this whole back and forth thing himself) and pointing out that he can afford to pay for the president’s private plane ride, was a brilliant move on Rush’s part.
Obama will be forced to find some excuse for not talking directly with Rush or actually debate him.
Good one Rush. I just might have to start listening to your show!

It’s beneath the President to respond to Limbaugh. Leave him standing where he is. There is no better example of lowly desperation and weakness than the GOP clinging to the likes of Limbaugh.

Rush never said that he wanted President Obama to fail. I’ve listened to his response twice. Perhaps you should listen to what he actually said, instead of what Mr. Gibbs says that he said. Some of you folks are so blinded by this administration that you can no longer think for yourselves. That’s really too bad, not only for you, but for all of us. This should give you pause – the Obama administration will give us in 20 months the amount of debt that eight years of the Bush administration gave us. And President Bush had to deal with two wars, the effects of the 9/11 attacks, and the credit market meltdown. So much for change we can believe in.
Posted by: jjsmith | March 4, 2009, 6:09 pm 6:09 pm
To all ditto-heads,
Here is the reality: You lost! You will continue to lose! That is the political reality today in the United States. There are more and more “minorities”, a label which you will soon take on. These minorities despise Rush and his henchmen. Eighty percent of them voted for Obama. Right now they comprise 25% of the population. Imagine the implications in a national election when 90% vote democratic and comprise a third or more of the population. Bye, bye republican party, at least at the national level.
The more republicans echo Rush the more likely this scenario will play out. To liberals, moderates, and true conservatives, you cannot debate Limbaugh or his dud-heads. How do you debate constant rhetoric? You will attempt to use reason; they will call you a commie. You will attempt to use data and facts; they will call you a liberal elitist.
I know these people are infuriating to listen to, but take comfort in the fact that their ideology is dying. It has become and will be considered a fringe ideology, the way nazism, communism, and fascism are today. Future generations will learn about Rushism.

What a pathetic joke. Poor Mr. Limbaugh, it’s like he’s lost his mind. The president of the United States (whether it’s Obama or anyone else) would never stoop to debating a radio “comedian” who makes his living exaggerating and inciting. Rush should go back to smuggling Viagra and talking to the 28% that still think Bush did a good job. I, for one, hope that the Republicans continue to go nuts and fall apart and fight amongst themselves (Rush vs. Steele) it just guarantees Dems a second term. Thanks Limbots!
Posted by: Ashton | March 4, 2009, 6:11 pm 6:11 pm
Rush is likely more arrogant than any person alive today. The ONLY reason he’s on 300 radio stations is because they are ALL owned by the biggest radio monopoly in the world, Clear Channel. Clear Channel gave millions of dollars to the Bush Administration so the FCC would allow them to swallow up radio stations and spit out local employees like they were worthless drains on their corporate budget. Clear Channel replaced local radio with talking heads like Limbaugh so they only had to cut one paycheck. This man is forced on the nation by a very Republican owned and run radio monopoly. Limbaugh would be a nobody if it wasn’t for Clear Channel just like you’ve never heard of Ryan Seacrest before he climbed aboard the Clear Channel express and now you can’t get rid of him.

There seems to be a misconception here. Rush represents the conservative movement, not the republican party. Rush it in fact slightly irritated with the republican party because (under Bush) it has strayed away from the conservative principles that once made the republican party so strong. And of course, he is absolutely appalled at the democratic party which has been hijacked by socialists.

Is her hate of Black Americans representative of the participating GOP here?? Rush is a bit more subtle about his white supremise posture…He doesn’t say that 12% of Americans don’t matter. No one else called Kate out on her hatred…Hmmm. What are you afraid of?

It’s clear that President Obama believes that he wouldn’t stand a chance with Mr. Limbaugh or Mr. Hannity, or he would go onto one or both of their programs to discuss the issues. He won’t. Why do you think that is? You know why. Sure, President Obama won the election. So what? President Bush won two elections, and many of you hated him for eight years (and you haven’t stopped yet.)

Everyone is entitled to his/her opinion, so he needs to accept that the majority of our country elected President Obama and wait until 2012 to try and get someone from his party elected. Maybe he should toss his own hat into the ring for the 2012 elections?

He’s a pontificating fool who doesn’t allow an opposing viewpoint. It’s easy to win a “debate” when you can just blabber on and on with nobody watching the clock and allowing a rebuttal.
Obama would just annihilate him, given his brains, his eloquence, and Rush’s stupidity. He doesn’t even know that “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness” is from the preamble to the Declaration of Independence, not the constitution, like he said the other day.

I would think it very silly for him to debate Mr. Limbaugh. The Campaign is OVER. Now it’s on to so many more important things. (Democrats vs. Republicans…Are you kidding?)

He should worry more about taking inches off of his waistline and let others lead. Obama DOES NOT have a hidden agenda to reduce the freedoms or enterprising spirit that makes America great. Rush wants to create a diversion because even with everything he tried on his talk(trash) show, McSame still LOST. He is bitter and he is out for blood. VILE INDEED.

AIG has managed to throw away $140 Billion of borrowed taxpayers (well China’s)money. The stock market has crashed over and over. (Stock Market…what a derivative of joke) Moreover, unemployment is monumental. Greedy and Corrupted Wall Street “Bigs” such as Madoff has ripped off many. The outlook of this Country is bleak. Wake up idiots, Bush’s (the Republican’s) plan did not work. It is time to try something different. Obama is trying to undo the mess we’re in. Our beloved Country is already destroyed.

It was very well said by one person here. “I’m sorry I got pulled into reading this. The concept of this debate is a farce, for either side. For the good of this country I hope my fellow Republican citizens get over the idea of Rush Limbaugh, of snarky politics, and misguided partisanism. “.
I will be off now. It is NOT worth the time.

My god,, what has this world come to? Rush V.S. the President? having a fit about what he owns? My Lord, if Obama has a jet flying him around its because he needs it, WE, the tax payers do pay for it. But I rather pay for ANY of my presidents to use Air Force 1, rather to even consider a loud mouth like Mr. Rush, with all do respect. If Rush is so popular, why didn’t you Republicans vote him in??? Just a simple thought!!!!!!! I am just a simple person, but when you have adults acting like Rush,, we better wake up and smell the coffee….

I don’t understand why people feel the need to criticize Rush when Obama was the one who started this whole little exchange. Just a few days in office, Obama said “You just can’t listen to Rush and get things done.” Come on now — what do you really expect Rush to do??
Rush is simply challenging Obama to a debate, and for that act alone, the Obama supporters are on the attack.

While I think this ‘engagement’ with Limbaugh and his ditto-heads a waste of time for the White House, they have successfully painted the Republicans as a group of out of touch lunatics that have more loyalty to thier party (and Rush) than to thier country. Politically speaking, a stroke of genius.
Posted by: GL | March 4, 2009, 6:25 pm 6:25 pm
I’ve been watching President Obama take on this monstrous load in taking office. The economy, the wars, global warming, mortgage collapse, health care, etc., etc. It would seem to me that he has his plate overflowing with concerns in the governing of our country and getting us out of some terrible, terrible messes, many with awful, awful people. I would think it very silly for him to debate Mr. Limbaugh. The Campaign is OVER. Now it’s on to so many more important things. (Democrats vs. Republicans…Are you kidding?) And Mr. Limbaugh, I pray he doesn’t fail! For if he fails, we ALL go down!

Have you noticed that 99% of the personal attacks in this blog are from the left?
Examples: racist, ignorant, ARROGANT, air bag, Bloated, blotchy sweaty pig, shame to be an american, Restupidcan, big fat oversized leg, egotistical, OMG SHUT UP RUSH, such a loser, evil sick SOB, overgrown bully, insane man ,etc.
If would be nice if the left would actually try to counter Rush’s points. For example:
“High taxes and carbon credits are good because they will raise the price of all goods and services.”
“Printing tons of currency is good because it will soon lead to hyperinflation, which I like.”
“Tripling the national debt in the name of stimulus is good, since paying it off will give our grand-kids something to do.”
Things like that. :-)

“…do you realize you will own the United States of America?”……Rush Limbaugh you need as former Supreme Court Justice O’Connor said a civics lesson. NO President and certainly not you will ever “own” the United States. Your perception of “owning” is political control – while you may gnawl at the bit to achieve it, be satisfied that you own the wing of the conservative party that you deserve. The rest of the nation has more important things to do (and am 100% certain the President does) than pander to your ego and narcissism.

Anyone who takes Rush seriously or compares his validity to that of the President of the United States is beyond childish. Rush is an entertainer. His words only resonate with ignorant listeners…those who don’t know any better but to think he is informed. Those who listen for the distraction and humor laugh and that’s all. His talent lies in getting folks stirred up..much like the bully in grade school…remember..The only people who took that character seriously were bullies themselves…motivated by fear.

Contrast their typical nonsense responses with the grammatically correct (for the most part), reasonable assertions put forth by the conservatives that provide jobs for the Obama Cool-Aid drinkers.
There is abject fear in the White House that this “debate” challenge will gain traction in the media.

This is such a joke. First off, Rush NEVER debates anyone who disagrees with him. He is too much of a wuss. He can’t back up anything he says with facts because he is a big, fat liar. I have heard many liberal talk show hosts challenge Rush and he never takes them up on it. Rush did this because he knows it will never happen. I think Obama should take him up on it and call Rush’s bluff. Rush = fat, lying, egotistical blowhard who wouldn’t know a fact if it landed on his face.

Rush claims to be an American. I have listened to his show everyday for 3-4 months prior to the election in November. I heard him say how much he loves America. Rush is an idiot!!!!!! How do you say you love America and then wish the President of YOUR Country would fail. If the President fail then America would fall. While he was complaining on Hilary and Obama where was his concern about the present President. If you do not like him as a President that is your choice. But stop acting like an Ass. Debating your president. Do you hate that much you would down the country. Rush and others need to really check themselves. I did not like Bush, but I kept on working and I prayed everyday for God to deliver me. If you love America you respect your President. Obama is not the Savior nor does he claim to be. So stop making stupid accusations. He wanted to be a President and do the best and he made promises just like all the other canidates. So why when Obama make promises it is a problem. You are a troubled and disturbed individual who spew hate and ignorance across america.

Ever try to “debate” a Dittohead? It’s impossible. A true Debate has rules and is grounded in rational logic. Points are argued intelligently and if proven wrong, conceded. There’s a code of courtesy, honor and respect … In other words, it’s an activity that requires maturity, wisdom and humility. These are foreign concepts to a selfish, bombastic, unevolved ape named Rush Limbaugh.
All he cares about is himself and his ego. He’s a spoiled child. A pathetic Nazi. We are witnessing the final desperate lunges of this porcine pr*ck. I watch with glee as he pulls what’s left of the Republican Party into toilet. Somebody PLEASE hit flush.

And he is not a private citizen, he is a very public figure. He is also claiming ownership of America.

Rush at least is doing journalism instead of the absolute abdication of any objective analysis by the main stream. I seriously doubt the Rush HATERS (I love how quickly they point out their intolerance) have done any in depth listening to exactly what Rush has said. The latest “I hope he fails” campaign by the media shows that.

Dear Lush Rimjob,
It seems that all of the debating is over, if you would like to debate President Obama, I suggest that you run for President in 2012. You can explain how YOUR party ran up 5 trillion dollars debt in 8 years
Posted by: Ronnie Jackson | March 4, 2009, 6:50 pm 6:50 pm
Open Mind, 8 years of reckless tax cuts that benefited no one with less than a 6 figure income, deregulation that lead to disasterous imports, lax production, runaway coorporate corruption within the banking industry and stock market. Over a trillion dollars spend directly on a war and occupation that did nothing but increase the price of oil, erode American standing in the world, promote terrorism, and cost thousands of American lives. Completely disregarded due process and accountability of the Executive Branch. Need we go on?
Posted by: Louis | March 4, 2009, 6:50 pm 6:50 pm
Okay, everyone, let’s reach over and turn off the radio all together now…..
The Republicans have created their own worst nightmare. Rush is the spawn of all the hatred and anti-intellectualism that they have nurtured. Fascinating that as Arnold gets more and more reasonable that Rush gets more and more cartoon-like.
When Democrats would complain about the hatred Rush espouses, the response was ALWAYS “he’s an entertainer.” Like all the other sadomasochistic entertainers we love so much? But let a Republican call him an entertainer and them’s fightin’ words.
Can’t we really just talk about something else now? Don’t we have real problems?

It is too bad that Ron Paul is not recognized as the leader of the republican party. Then, we could have a god debate between two party system and two ideas. It is too bad that McCain and other republicans did their best to push away Ron Paul. Ron Paul is sincere and honestly questions policy ideas. We need honest people; not selfish manipulating people like Rush! I welcome an honest debate “Ron Paul” vs. the leader of Democratic party/President. Rush needs to buzz off. Rush needs to accomplish something! get elected. He is funny and provides good jokes for late night shows, that is about it. Save the R party, recognize people like Ron paul. Thank you.

I’d like to a bookie’s odds on this debate. Probaly safer to bet on the winner of O. vs Rush debate than the stock market that the amazing Mr. President has destroyed in just a few weeks.

You know? There are more serious issues going on right now that require our attention than Rush spouting nothing useful out of his mouth. I’m sorry he’s such a sore loser because Obama won the election. Rush Limbaugh needs to keep his piehole shut. He has no bright ideas and only offers criticism of others. I feel sorry that he can’t be nothing other than a negative human being and has obvious low self esteem issues. His ratings must be bad and he’s looking for some income- what’s scary is some people actually watch and listen to his slop.

Rush was addicted to very high doses of a heroin-like substance. He is a hypocrite because, according to his own strict standard for law enforcement, he should be locked up. His back pain excuse is just that – an excuse.

He’s making the Republican Party look stupider than they already look and his disrespect for a US President is astounding and repulsive. This is his big chance for more fame and he’s defintely making the most of it. Limbaugh doesn’t give two hoots about the Republican Party, only the amount of money he can generate for himself. Hopefully, someday he will be broke and destitute like the very people he condemns. Johnny El.

If would be nice if the left would actually try to counter Rush’s points. For example:
“High taxes and carbon credits are good because they will raise the price of all goods and services.”
“Printing tons of currency is good because it will soon lead to hyperinflation, which I like.”
“Tripling the national debt in the name of stimulus is good, since paying it off will give our grand-kids something to do.”

A three-year investigation into drug use by Rush Limbaugh ended abruptly when the conservative commentator was booked on a single charge of prescription fraud in a deal his attorney says spares him a trial.

I don’t think he had debilitating pain, he just wanted to get high.

Rush might crush Obama but “ONLY” because he has a “BIG MOUTH”. I tried to sit thru a couple of his shows and i just couldn’t do it. I personally dont understand how this blowhard ever got on the airwaves to begin with. President Obama is a sophisticated, educated man and Rush Bimbo is nothing but a clown with a big mouth that needs a new act….the circus must be in town…..

Liberals are liars and crooks. Hence the LIE in the headline of Rush owning the United States.
Liberals also LIE about what Rush wants to fail. It isn’t Obama, but his socialist policies.

If Rush Limbrain is the best the GOP has to offer, no wonder theirs is an already sunken ship. Who does Rush think paid for all past presidents in the White House? Why should he think that Obama should have to explain? Doesn’t every president gets to use the White House Jet, give tea parties etc. based on an generous allowance that comes with being the president? Or, does Rush think that just because President Obama is black he doesn’t deserve to have the same as all past presidents.
Mr. President Obama, please don’t play into Rush Limbrains obvious madness. Those pills he was hooked on must have twisted and burned what little brains he already had beyond repair.

1. I voted Democrat because I believe oil companies’ profits of 4% on a gallon of gas are obscene but the government taxing the same gallon of gas at 15% isn’t.
2. I voted Democrat because I believe the government will do a better job of spending the money I earn than I would..
3. I voted Democrat because freedom of speech is fine as long as nobody is offended by it.
4. I voted Democrat because when we pull out of Iraq I trust that the bad guys will stop what they’re doing because they now think we’re good people.
5. I voted Democrat because I love the fact that I can now marry whatever I want. I’ve decided to marry my horse.
6. I voted Democrat because I’m way too irresponsible to own a gun, and I know that my local police are all I need to protect me from murderers and thieves.
7. I voted Democrat because I believe that people who can’t tell us if it will rain on Friday can tell us that the polar ice caps will melt away in ten years if I don’t start driving a Prius..
8. I voted Democrat because I’m not concerned about the slaughter of millions of babies so long as we keep all death row inmates alive.
9. I voted Democrat because I believe that business should not be allowed to make profits for themselves. They need to break even and give the rest away to the government for redistribution as THEY see fit.
10. I voted Democrat because I believe liberal judges need to rewrite the Constitution every few days to suit some fringe kooks who would never get their agendas past the voters.
11. I voted Democrat because my head is so firmly planted up my ass that it is unlikely that I’ll ever have another point of view.

TO THE DUMMY LIBERALS –
DINGY Harry Reid tried the same BS as the Obama (sadly to say) whitehouse is trying now.
DINGY Reid tried to take down Rush with a quote taken out of context….it caused a national stir. Rush then turned it around on DINGY Reid and offered him to match the letter that that dummy Reid concocted in congress. It brought 4 million dollars on the open market. Dummy Reid never paid….
Rush won that battle. And, if given the opportunity, he will win this battle as well.

dawgfan419 – ya know, Limbaugh would likely be getting a little slack about the drug use if he wasn’t such a hypocrite. Need you be reminded that he had NO compassion for anyone purchasing illegal prescription drugs until he himself was caught with his hands in the cookie jar? As far as he was concerned there was NO excuse. Most rational people would believe if you deny other peoples excuses you deserve no excuses for yourself.

Rush, it’s not the employees fault that business’s are laying off people and taxes are paid on this money. Maybe he’s on to omething. The deficit needs to be paid up and taxes from umemplyment are better than no taxes from companies shutting down. Obama is no fool.

I find it interesting the liberals on here are trying to make Rush look irrelevant by calling him…names! They present no facts and only…names. Rush is so irrelevant that they feel the need to pop in here and leave a comment trying to make him sound irrelevant. If he was truly irrelevant no liberal would feel the need to comment on EVERY story that has Rush in it. They seem to fear Rush as much as their leader Obama does. They say the people who listen to him have no brain…but they voted for some guy who had zero experience in running something and then they try to insult him by calling him a drug addict but the guy who they voted for admitted to doing Cocaine and other hard drugs in his pass. Sounds like to me the ones calling out others as having no brains seem to not have any either.

Hey Rush, want to debate the president?
Then pay your dues and run for office.
I don’t think you can do it, and if you can’t even win so much as a primary, why should Obama debate you?
Ever four years we have rounds of presidential debates. Why should you be given such status when Ron Paul didn’t receive the same? Contenders Alan Keyes and Ralf Nader also wanted into the debate club, but if you want to do that, youv’e got to show you have a certain percentage of support.

Rush has conservitive beliefs and he sticks to his guns and doesn’t back down. Why hate him for that???? You can disagree with his points of view, but why would Obama and his team want to destroy him and get him off the air(aka Fairness Doctrine)??? There is only one reason…Rush is right!!!

Bogus Economics by Rush Limbaugh
http://www.fair.org
LIMBAUGH: On California contractor C.C. Myers completing repairs 74 days early on the earthquake-damaged Santa Monica Freeway: “There was one key element that made this happen. One key thing: The governor of California declared the [freeway] a disaster area and by so doing eliminated the need for competitive bids…. Government got the hell out of the way.” (TV show, 4/13/94) “They gave this guy [Myers] the job without having to go through the rigmarole…of giving 25 percent of the job to a minority-owned business and 25 percent to a woman.” (TV show, 4/15/94)
REALITY: There was competitive bidding: Myers beat four other contractors for the job. Affirmative action rules applied: At least 40 percent of the subcontracts went to minority or women-owned firms. Far from getting out of the way, dozens of state employees were on the job 24 hours a day. Furthermore, the federal government picked up the tab for the whole job (L.A. Times, 5/1/94).
LIMBAUGH: “Banks take the risks in issuing student loans and they are entitled to the profits.” (Radio show, quoted in FRQ, Summer/93)
REALITY: Banks take no risks in issuing student loans, which are federally insured.
LIMBAUGH: “Don’t let the liberals deceive you into believing that a decade of sustained growth without inflation in America [in the '80s] resulted in a bigger gap between the haves and the have-nots. Figures compiled by the Congressional Budget Office dispel that myth.” (Ought to Be, p. 70)
REALITY: CBO figures do nothing of the sort. Its numbers for after-tax incomes show that in 1980, the richest fifth of our country had eight times the income of the poorest fifth. By 1989, the ratio was more than 20 to one.
LIMBAUGH: Comparing the 1950s with the present: “And I might point out that poverty and economic disparities between the lower and upper classes were greater during the former period.” (Told You So, p. 84)
REALITY: Income inequality, as measured by the U.S. Census Bureau, fell from the 1940s to the late 1960s, and then began rising. Inequality surpassed the 1950 level in 1982 and rose steadily to all-time highs in 1992. (Census Bureau’s “Money Income of Households, Families and Persons in the United States”)
LIMBAUGH: “Oh, how they relished blaming Reagan administration policies, including the mythical reductions in HUD’s budget for public housing, for creating all of the homeless! Budget cuts? There were no budget cuts! The budget figures show that actual construction of public housing increased during the Reagan years.” (Ought to Be, p. 242-243)
REALITY: In 1980, 20,900 low-income public housing units were under construction; in 1988, 9,700, a decline of 54 percent ;Statistical Abstracts of the U.S).In terms of 1993 dollars, the HUD budget for the construction of new public housing was slashed from $6.3 billion in 1980 to $683 million in 1988. “We’re getting out of the housing business. Period,” a Reagan HUD official declared in 1985.
LIMBAUGH: “The poorest people in America are better off than the mainstream families of Europe.” (Radio show, quoted in FRQ, Spring/93)
REALITY: Huh? The average cash income of the poorest 20 percent of Americans is $5,226; the average cash income of four major European nations–Germany, France, United Kingdom and Italy–is $19,708.
LIMBAUGH: “There’s no such thing as an implied contract.” (Radio show, quoted in FRQ, Spring/93)
REALITY: Every first-year law student knows there is.
LIMBAUGH: “Ladies and gentlemen, we now know why there is this institutional opposition to low tax rates in the liberal wing of the Democratic Party. It’s because [low tax rates] are biblical in nature and in root. When you can trace the lowering of tax rates on grain from 90 percent to 20 percent giving seven fat years during the days of Pharaoh in Egypt, why then you are tracing the roots of lower taxes and rising prosperity to religion…. You can trace individual prosperity, economic growth back to the Bible, the Old Testament. Isn’t it amazing?” (Radio show, 6/28/93)
REALITY: Amazingly wrong. Genesis 41 is about the wisdom of instituting taxes, not cutting them. After Pharaoh had a dream that prophesied seven fat years to be followed by seven lean years, Joseph advised him to “appoint officers over the land, and take up the fifth part of the land of Egypt in the seven plenteous years…and lay up corn under the hands of Pharaoh.” In other words, a 20 percent tax on the grain harvest would put aside food for use during the famine. Pharaoh took Joseph’s advice, and Egypt avoided hunger during the famine.

If limberger ran for office, i’d give him some respect, but he knows he can’t hack that cause he’d have to make decisions and accept responsibilty. it’s all good though. he’ll divide the GOP in half though. Obama is loving this. the more limberger blows hot air the better it will be for them.

HERE’S A GUY WHO WAS CAUGHT WITH 30,000 ILLEGAL OXY-CONTIN TABS, FALSE PRESCRIPTIONS AND ALL HE GOT WAS A SLAP ON THE WRIST. I WONDER WHY.
A CRAZED DRUG ADDICT, HATE MONGERING, DOPE FIEND, TELLS THE NEW GOP HOW TO THINK.
UNREAL.
QUOTE:
Limbaugh, 55, avoided prosecution as a result of an aggressive, high-priced legal fight by his attorney, Roy Black of Miami. Black challenged prosecutors’ effort to obtain Limbaugh’s medical records and took that fight all the way to the Florida Supreme Court.
On Friday, attorneys for Limbaugh announced that their client reached an agreement with the office of Palm Beach County State Attorney Barry Krischer that will spare him jail time, as long as he completes 18 months of drug treatment. He surrendered Friday at the Palm Beach County jail on a warrant formally charging that he withheld information from a medical practitioner. That charge is known as doctor shopping and is a third-degree felony.
Limbaugh — a multimillionaire who lives part of the year in a waterfront mansion in Palm Beach — also agreed to pay the county $30,000 to cover the cost of its investigation and $30 a month in supervision costs. If Limbaugh complies, the one count of doctor shopping will be wiped off his record in 18 months.
Limbaugh also has entered a plea of “not guilty,” according to a statement released Friday by Black. Limbaugh did not return calls for comment.
Limbaugh first came under investigation by Krischer’s office in late 2003 after allegations made by Limbaugh’s housekeeper that he had purchased more than 30,000 prescription pain pills from her and her husband, including OxyContin, hydrocodone, and Locet, in 2001 and 2002.
Limbaugh admitted he had a drug problem and entered a five-week drug treatment program in Arizona. He claimed that he started using the powerful painkillers because of a severe chronic back problem.
Prosecutors alleged that Limbaugh obtained prescriptions from multiple doctors for the highly addictive drug OxyContin. That drug is sometimes called “hillbilly heroin” because of its powerful nature and widespread use in rural areas.

Rush and the republicans need to all move to Montana where they can live in huts and use porta potties for restrooms and watch the state crumble while the rest of the country enjoys properity and growth along with a decent lifestyle. As always the Republicans are all about themselves and could careless about anyone else, but yet these “Christian Conservatives” are supposedly preaching kindness to one another. Yet in the same breathe, they are pointing fingers and being judgmental. Oximoron if you ask me.

Rush doesn’t hold a candle to Obama. Obama went to college and beyond. Rush disn’t even graduate high school. Talk about who earned his keep. Shame on Rush for having ZERO morals and ZERO credibility. Anyone who wishes a LEADER to fail is pure evil and thinks of himself only. I taught GOP have higher morals and higher expections. If this is the best you have than it’s clear Obama will win again. Obama should ignore him and reemphasize the fact he is president not the guy that pays for his fat plane, but thinks he is president. AH AH AH. Rush is crazy, scary, and not very smart. Anyone with same venue would be able to rant on and on, but where’s the substance. Rush has ZERO. Nut case…

What makes a person a Christian??
Believing that Jesus died for our sins and trying to live our lives as he would.knowing right from wrong.Spreading the word so others can follow Jesus after death.
If you believe woman should have the choice about having an abortion,and the person in the womb has none,then you are not a Christian.
Murder is a sin,as is lieing.If you continue to do both without making the effort to follow Jesus,then you are not a Christian and will be tormented the rest of your lives.
Liberals believe in abortion.Liberals will be tormented after they die.

Limbaugh, 52, the most listened-to radio talk-show host in history, syndicated in more than 650 markets worldwide, is under investigation for allegedly buying thousands of addictive painkillers from a black-market drug ring, according to the N.Y. Daily News.
Rush Limbaugh was turned in by his former housekeeper, Wilma Cline, 42, who said the radio commentator went through detox twice and was addicted to the highly potent prescription drugs OxyContin, Lorcet and hydrocodone.
On his website this morning, Limbaugh issued the following statement:
“I am unaware of any investigation by any authorities involving me. No governmental representative has contacted me directly or indirectly. If my assistance is required in the future, I will, of course, cooperate fully.”
Limbaugh gave the keynote address this morning at the National Association of Broadcasters annual convention in Philadelphia. A guest is hosting his program today.
Meanwhile, Limbaugh insisted during his show yesterday there was “no racist intent whatsoever” in his comment that the media have overrated Philadelphia Eagles’ Donovan McNabb because they want to see a black quarterback succeed, reported the Associated Press.
Nevertheless, as a result of the media furor, late last night Limbaugh resigned from his position on ESPN’s NFL pre-game show, on which he had made the controversial remark.
Cline said she turned in information about Limbaugh and others to prosecutors four years after the drug deals began, the Enquirer reported. The exchanges included clandestine handoffs in a Denny’s parking lot.
For her last two deliveries to Limbaugh, she said, authorities gave her a wire, and she handed in the tapes.
Sources obtained from Cline e-mails from Limbaugh and a ledger documenting her purchase of 4,350 pills in one 47-day period.
“There were times when I worried,” said Cline. “All these pills are enough to kill an elephant – never mind a man.”
The Daily News reported it independently confirmed Limbaugh is under investigation, but the agency running the probe, the Palm Beach County state attorney’s office, said it could not confirm or deny the allegations.
The Associated Press, citing law-enforcement sources who requested anonymity, also said it confirmed an investigation is underway.

Obama and his team have no business even engaging Rush. You have to hand it to Bush…he had mortal enemies coming at him from all angles. Every liberal in the country wanted him to fail. Bush and his team never took on the critics in a public way. I’m talking about the freaks that said rude, ridiculous and inappropriate things to Bush. Obama would serve himself well trying to rise above this.
Obama stepped into the sand trap. You give Rush a whole new life by acknowledging him. Rookie mistake and one he will regret.

I still cant figure out why blacks support democrats. They have never done anything but try and keep them addicted to government hand outs and playing to victimization.

Christian conservative said: “It is true that the liberals on here just come back with name calling and can never make a point in a debate or conversation. Why is that???”
First of all with name calling, people who live in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones, or alternately if you are free from sin cast the first stone(not one single neocon Republican can claim that, I mean look at Limbaugh, is he the voice of tolerance??? I think not. there there now.
AS for making a point in debate or conversation, many others have made their points here, and simply put I don’t want to repeat what falls on deaf ears (you really are the ones that follow #11, that you only follow your own ideology), and finally its useless to argue with neocons when most of your arguments are non-sequitur, they do not follow logically, and/or use facts to distort the actual truth (why don’t you go find out if Obama really is a citizen). It’s pointless to argue with morons.

Hey Rush – if you want to debate Obama then run for President in 2012 and you will get your chance. Why would the President of the United States debate a talk radio host? Rush you are so full of yourself – that must be why you are so fat and sweaty. Uck you make me want to puke.

Really enjoyed this post on another site: “When citizens, public officials, and pundits criticized and attacked Bush and Cheney for their pre-emptive war in Iraq, they were arrested and called “un-American” and “unpatriotic!”
So, now what do you call it when GOP Senators and Congressmen AND pundits attack President Obama and openly pray for him to fail in his attempt to rescue our economy and foreign policy?!
HEY Minority Leader John A. Boehner, AND Rush Limbaugh, AND Tom Delay! We hereby call YOU un-American AND unpatriotic AND traitors to the United States of America!
Do you really think an entire nation of Americans have instantly and simultaneously developed amnesia about the last horrendous 8 years of Republican rule?!
We remember every lying traitorous word and deed the GOP leaders spewed to shred our Constitution, ruin our reputation world-wide, destroy the lives of thousands of American soldiers and their families, stuff their friends’ pockets with our hard earned money, and lay ruin to our economy all in the name of the GRAND OLD PARTY!

President Obama and his administration have called out everyone who has disagreed with their “agenda”. Private citizens like Rick Santelli, Jim Cramer, Larry Kudlow, and Rush Limbaugh.
They WANT to distract us from what they’re doing…..which is ruining this country with their ridiculous stimulus bills, bailouts of auto companies (multiple times), bailouts of banks (multiple times), bailouts of homeowner mortgages (only for those who couldn’t afford to buy), ridiculous earmarks (lobster farms, tattoo removal, manure odor,etc), and on and on.
That’s just the economy. Then look at their feeble attempts at national policy, hypocrisy at every turn (hiring lobbyists, every cabinet member is a tax cheat, no transparency, no reading of billion dollar legislation, engaging in smear tactics against everyone.
Politico has an article that discussed this “strategy”. They’re playing the American public as fools. Nothing but political games.
***New revelations suggest that Democrats began a smear campaign against the conservative talk radio host last October, and now it’s really caught steam.
Apparently, the Left feared its message would be muted without having George W. Bush to blame for all the world’s problems, and Limbaugh made a nice substitute as the object of their disaffection to distract the public from real issues.
Given White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel’s connections to key media figures such as ABC’s George Stephanopoulos as well as CNN’s Paul Begala and James Carville, disseminating the hate was a piece of cake.

Rush is known for being direct and blunt and speaking his mind. He won’t be afraid to attack like McCain was. He’ll attack, attack, attack and Obama knows it!
And another thing, I didn’t know that the taxpayers paid for the super bowl party and the cocktail parties! If that is true, that should be stopped immediately and Obama should be forced to repay the taxpayers for those expenses! They are expenses that we don’t need and can’t afford and Obama knows it! He should pay for his parties himself!

Geez! Limpballs is unbelievably egotistical…
The country is in the midst of a Recession and this arrogant turdhead wants to see who will own the United States???
What a spectacle…he’ll do or say anything for the media attention…
I just missed being laid off from my employer and had to take a 5% pay cut along with cut offs to my 401k and Ins.that I can’t afford to use anyway…
And this trash mouth wants my President to take his ramblings seriously….
Seriously????
What a delusional idiot!
The Rush Limbaugh Party…what a joke.
I hope he keeps this media campaign up through the 2010-2012 elections, He is the best thing for the Democrats…
Go RUSH! RUSH! RUSH! RUSH!

I can’t beleive that Rush Limbaugh thinks that he WORKS for a living! What a joke! Sitting on your fat A## and complaing about everything and everyone and making sexist and racist remarks can hardly be called work. Limbaugh is a big fat pig full of hot air and in love with his own voice. You can never argue with a Consrvative because they don’t have a grip on reality. They make up statistics, ignore facts and rewrite history. The idea that Rush Limbaugh thinks what he does is work is an insult to hard working Americans everywhere. Rush get off the drugs and get some mental help!

You asked for it.
1. I voted Democrat because when Oil Companies cry poor at the same time they post record profits Republicans give them tax breaks, eliminate safety inspections and ignore environmental impact
2. I voted Democrat because I believe that no one should have to choose between medical care and rent.
3. I voted Democrat because freedom of speech cannot be protected through warrantless wire taps.
4. I voted Democrat because Iraq had no part in the planning or execution of 9/11 but Republicans invaded, occupied, spent over a trillion US dollars, and over 8,000 american lives with no end in sight, no objective to achieve, and increased terrorism, higher oil prices,and more political instability in the region to show for it.
5. I voted Democrat because tolerance is the watchword for freedom. The government has no business putting religious dogma into law.
6. I voted Democrat because responsible gun ownership needs to be promoted.
7. I voted Democrat because I believe that scientific inquiry will yeild more accurate answers than political lobbying.
8. I voted Democrat because choice is the basis of America, your religious beliefs cannot be allowed determine my choices.
9. I voted Democrat because I believe that business has a responisibility to its customers, that runaway greed is not in the nations best interest.
10. I voted Democrat because I believe in the Constitution and that hiring a yes-man as the attorney general does not mean that everything you do is legal.
11. I voted Democrat because the right and responsibility of American citizenship is not about getting the most for me and f*** everybody else. We are One Nation (No not under God, that was added by Conservatives in the 50′s to smoke out anyone who did not think as they did)
1.A conservative is a man who believes that nothing should be done for the first time. – Alfred Wiggam
2. A conservative is a man with two perfectly good legs who, however, has never learned how to walk forward. – Franklin Delano Roosevelt
3. What is conservatism? It is not adherence to the old and tried, but against the new and untried? – Abraham Lincoln
4. When a nation’s young men are conservative, its funeral bell is already rung. – Henry Ward Beecher
5. The radical invents the views. When he has worn them out, the conservative adopts them. – Mark Twain

“I voted Democrat because I love the fact that I can now marry whatever I want. I’ve decided to marry my horse.”
It’s such an ironic fact that Republicans complain about Democrats affecting every facet of their private lives (mind you only economic, and maybe your guns, not your actual personal and emotional lives), when convervative Republicans really go and tell people who they can’t and can marry(just being gay is almost illegal in some states) and when they try to legislate to women what they should do with their bodies. Geeez if this isn’t invasive then I don’t know what is. Trust me Republican neocons, you are not being affected “personally” by anything the Democrats do.

I’m sure that President Obama would be more than happy to sit down with you a few years from now after he has straightened out the mess your party put this country into – right now he doesn’t have time for the extremist radio talk show circuit.

People are rooting for a President to fail?? My God, where are you people from?? You are so interested in seeing someone that you vilify fail that you are trying to will the country to falter to prove a point?? When the Republicans were in power, I never rooted for Bush to fail. I wanted the war to be concluded quickly, our People safe from terrorism and the like. I wanted my President to succeed. I didn’t vote for Bush but, he was still my President because I am an American. I am a veteran. I put my life on the line in the past so that people can actively wish ill will on me and my neighbor in the present? Does anyone out there understand how fundamentally wrong this is? Do you all root for the neighbor’s house (that you don’t like) down the street to burn, too? It is this divisiveness that hurts us all. We really have lost the spirit of caring for each other, I guess. You people scare me.

Liberals believe women are matureenough to trust with freedom of choice, not necessarily always abortion – please get that straight. Women deserve more respect in this matter. This is a tough situation for everyone involved, and given the research that points to stress in a mother having a dreadful effect on the fetus’s development, give the woman support, not continual harrassment.

Its amazing how most of the Neo-Con web posters, Republicans in Congress and Rush Limbaugh were chanting “four more years” “for more years” when it came to the George Bush presidency. Now they all are distancing themselves from the very person and policies they wholeheartedly supported for eight years. It’s like they want to wipe the slate of reality away. They really think if they falsely claim they had nothing to do with the Bush era the American public is stupid and willing to forget that it was Neo-Con economic policies that brought us the problems America is facing now.

Women have abortions because it is inconvenient to there lives.
Tough situation for everyone???
I dont see the woman having her brains sucked out.
Woman make the choice to spread there legs and become pregnant.That is where there choice is!!!
and dont use that stupid reasoning about rape and incest.Thats what got us here in the 1st place 45,000,000 lives ago.

Wow…what Rush is doing is working. He is getting people to get involved. Whether you love him or hate him, he is in the game. Pontificating broadcast buffoons are necessary to stimulate discussion. That is why we have Rush, Keith Olberman, Rachel Maddow, Sean Hannity, Bill O’Reilly. If you agree with them their great. If you don’t then they are gas bags. Free speech is an American Right.

Can someone please send Rush some pacifiers, and put him in time out? He’s throwing temper tantrums and spewing out lies (do his Republican supporter not read news, or do they just listen to opinion programs, where they do not REPORT the news?). I read the news from many sources, and you have to be very careful about just taking a commentators opinion as truth. Rush is giving his OPINION people. He’s not reciting facts. And he spews out as much hate as a terrorist does.
Rush acts like he’s running for office against Obama. The election is over.

Look at his budget he uses economic projections that even the CBO not to mention every economist says are “dreaming”. There is no way Obama could defend what he is doind as anything other than another attempt at SOCIALISM that will like all other attempts fail. When you and your GREAT grand kids are paying 60-80% taxes to pay for his stupid ideas you can thank Obama for his change. BTW there is no way obama has the courage to debate ANYONE unscripted

Conservative Christian – there are points to consider on both sides of the abortion issue. Who are you to make such a vile statement about women making the choice to spread their legs? So, men have no responsibility? That’s a really ignorant and offensive statement. This is a broader issue than women. Men have responsibility where abortions are concerned too. Men and women alike have to make decisions about their actions and have equal responsibility to care for a child if they choose to have sex, get pregnant, and deliver the child. Men and women must then care for the child financially and emotionally once it’s born.
To think that abortion is just a woman’s choice is sexist, disgusting, and not very Christian.

Limbaugh is the Ralph Nader of the Republican party. He does not have enough influence to have any impact on a Democrat, but he has enough to make a Republican lose. Limbaugh will continue to be a millstone around the parties neck until he is sidelined.
Limbaugh flexed his muscles in an attempt to derail McCain in the primary and his efforts were absolutely fruitless. It is just a dog and pony show to make believe he is relevant.

Why would any president demean himself and the Presidency by debating some shock jock politico? I do believe Obama would show Rush to be the idiot that he is, but even that wouldn’t change the minds of the idiots who listen to Rush, so what’s the point beside getting Rush ratings?
Oh yeah, getting Rush ratings.

how is Rush Limbaugh a “great” American. he dodged military service yet could make fun of multiple amputee, decorated war heroes because he disagreed with him. he is an uneducated drug-addict who conspired with his employees to get as much oxycontin as he could get his addict hands on. he is a racist and a bigot. he foments hatred for anyone who is not white or sees the world different than him. he is not worthy of Obama time or effort.

I doubt Limbaugh could pass a junior-high-school math exam. This is an uneducated fool. The problem is – so are most of his listeners and most republicans. Mindless ideological drivel is not debate, and has no value. This kind of trashy idiocy serves no constructive purpose. It’s time for Americans to wake up – and reject stupidity, mindless ideology, prejudice, anti-intellectualism, and idiocy. America can be great again – but this country must again embrace rationality and education to do so. Who can shout drivel the loudest? Who cares?

This has nothing to do with Rush. This has to do with the President and his cabinet so obsessed with what Rush has to say to the american people. Rush is a Conservative talk show host. That is it, nothing else, but it goes to show how paranoid and shallow and helpless all you liberals act. So violent that you all start to lash out and swing in the dark to anything or anyone that you feel threatens your lazy ways of life. You do not want to work for a living, you want the government to work for you. You despise anyone who succeeds and always want a piece of the pie for free.

Dear “Christian”(?) conservative
If you really represented my Christian religion I would quickly find another type, but luckily you do not.
If you have ever been the victim of rape or incest, you must have a heart of stone to even make such a light dismissal of the horror and heartbreak these abuses inflict on a child, and to force them to go through labor at young ages is barbaric, not Christian. Choice is the only criteria that can be used by real Christians, at least in my own very considered, very experienced opinion.

If the potus doesn’t destroy the radio host now, the radio host will destroy him on 2012. I am sure the radio host will even allow the potus the use of teleprompters.

Obama has earned every cent…being senator and a state center and a community organizer are all jobs that are actually worth a damn. And no, Rush, you did not earn that money with ahrd work. You were overpaid for your rantings because they draw ratings from right wing ignorants just like yourself.

Please Republicans Please. I so much want to come back to the Rep party but it is sick right now with no direction. I voted Republican all the way until Bush’s second term. Please no more Palins and please please no radio entertainers. Get your party back together and get back to putting the country first. Take the recent election and campaine.The Republican Party shamelessly abandoned its values. Not only did Republicans disavow their leader (George W. Bush), they pressured presidential candidate John McCain into supporting far-right positions he had previously opposed, thereby destroying his political integrity. Meanwhile, the win-at-all-costs mentality of Republican strategists led to the adoption of an overridingly negative and cynical campaign strategy—one that attempted to demonize Barack Obama by portraying him as a terrorist and someone without a U.S. birth certificate. Even more shameful is that McCain and his campaign (with a handful of exceptions) tacitly endorsed calls for violence against Obama by failing to discourage rally goers who shouted “off with his head” and the like. However, the most irresponsible decision of the year was McCain’s choice of running mate, Sarah Palin, who was painfully unqualified and neither the reformer nor maverick she purported to be. From her very first public appearance it was clear the self-proclaimed “hockey mom” was in over her head, and although handlers bent over backwards to hide her intellectual shortcomings from the American people, she was ultimately exposed as being totally unprepared to be vice-president. Before pointing your fingers at Obama or anyone else, try looking at yourself and what you need to do.

This is nothing more than Rush seeking attention and a way to boost his ratings. I would prefer that the President not dignify this stupid ploy by even responding. If the President is going to meet and debate people, let it be with elected officials in Congress, in the states or other nations. That being said, the Presidential focus should be on matters of state and the state of the nation. I am comfortable thus far with the focus on the nation’s economic situation. We do not need to be distracted by a television circus. I hope that the Republicans can offer better more dignified and intelligent leadership than Mr. Limbaugh.

We don’t hate anybody. We don’t — I mean, the racism in this country, if you ask me, I know many people in this audience — let me deal with this head on. You know what the cliche is, a conservative: racist, sexist, bigot, homophobe. Excuse me, ladies and gentlemen of America, if you were paying attention, I know you were, the racism in our culture was exclusively and fully on display in the Democrat primary last year.
It was not us asking whether Barack Obama was authentic. What we were asking is: Is he wrong? We concluded, yes. We still think so. But we didn’t ask if he was authentically black. We didn’t say, as some Southern Christian Leadership Conference leaders said: Barack is not authentic, he’s not got any slave blood. He’s really not down for the struggle, but his wife is. So don’t expect the race industry to go away. Southern Christian Leadership Conference — you may not know this, because it wasn’t reported in the Drive-By Media — the racism, the sexism, the bigotry that we’re all charged with, just so you across the United States of America know, and you’ll see demonstrated here as the afternoon goes on, doesn’t exist on our side. We want everybody to succeed.You know why? We want the country to succeed, and for the country to succeed, its people — its individuals — must succeed. Everyone among us must be pursuing his ambition or her desire, whatever, with excellence. Trying to be the best they can be. Not told, as they are told by the Democrat Party: You really can’t do that, you don’t have what it takes, besides you’re a minority or you’re a woman and there are too many people that want to discriminate against you. You can’t get anywhere. You need to depend on us. Well. Take a look, someone has to say this.

You know, the Catholics had this policy that masturbation was against God because the sperm was not used for procreation. What’s Jesus’ opinion about that? Or is that just dogma?

Isn’t great that Conservatives, if they had thier way, would not allow for any sex education in schools, not allow for a 15 year old girl to abort an unwanted pregnancy (even if she was raped), not provide any support or assistance for that child with child if she ends up homeless, or any after she gives birth.
“”No man is an island — ” Much as we may feel and act as Individuals, our race is — a single organism, always growing and branching — which must be pruned regularly to be healthy.
This necessity need not be argued; anyone with eyes can see that any organism which grows without limit always dies in its own poisons. The only rational question is whether pruning is best done before or after birth.
Being an incurable sentimentalist I favor the former of these methods — killing makes me queasy, even when it’s a case of “He’s dead and I’m alive and that’s the way I wanted it to be.”
But this may be a matter of taste. Some shamans think that it is better to be killed in a war, or to die in childbirth, or to starve in misery, than never to have lived at all. They may be right.
But I don’t have to like it — and I don’t.”- Robert Heinlein

Whoa, Rush’s provocative invitation reminds me of a song in which Satan challenged Jesus to play poker over human souls.
Seriously, I think the president should be too busy coming up with pragmatic strategies for tackling the economic crisis to spend time debating pointless ideological stuff with Rush. Rush saying that he wants to see Obama’s policies fail because if his policies succeed, the whole foundation of American capitalism will be wiped out is as sensible as some diehard Chinese communist officials saying that they want to see market reforms fail in China because if they succeed, it will wipe out Chinese socialism.

4000 men died fighting a war in Iraq and Afghanistan against terrorists after these terrorists came to our country and finally toppled the twin towers.Just as they tried to a few yrs earlier when they set bombs of in the world trade center,and we did nothing.Dont act like you even give a crap about my soldiers.You just use them in your arguments to try and force a false point.
And the reason our woman are fighting a war is because you liberals said woman should be able to fight just as men do.
President Bush did a great job of handling this war but a poor job on the abortion and small government issues.
In times of peace,1,000 soldiers die a yr.
4,000 during a hard fought war is doing a very good job.

Rush will own the US like he owned those prescription pills! I firmly like to remind all Democrats that we were in the same boat in 2000, 2002, and 2004. Let’s move the country forward, and fix the mistakes and improve our nation. Rush will never change, despite all of his shock and awe statements in the past. He is doing what he feel is right, and he has his role to play to energize his listeners and base. Republicans have come back from a lot through history, and nothing will surprise me when they do. Do not take their beliefs and stance for granted. No matter how much we disagree, we have a minority view on many issues. Mr. Obama is there president regardless of how they feel about it. I do not want my president to debate a “radio” guy, I want him fixing the problems like he promised.

I heard Rush give that speech. He said nothing wrong in it and gave voice to some issues that I wish the MSM would have had the courage to address during this presidential campaign.
As a matter of fact, he gave a very rousing, inspiring speech and he DIDN’T use a teleprompter.
Obama and company are just plain wrong on this one.

I don’t believe that Jesus would be proud when a 12-year-old child is the victim of rape and incest and then forced to go through the torture of labor. Not do i believe He would be proud when a young mother of 4 little children died in childbirth after she was denied an abortion her Doctor had begged for from the hospital. He knew she could not possibly survive, and yet she was killed by the so-called “Christians” who turned down the Doctor’s request, and a father was forced to break up his family because none on these “Christians” offed to help. Choice is the only answer.

It is apparent to me that Rush is a waste of time and to stop what we are trying to do, which is to correct the mistakes made over the years, hopefully our president will not dignify this rhetoric with a response of any kind. The bloody election has been won, now we work. Rush is a recovering addict and if he has ever been clean and sober perhaps he has relapsed and should check into rehab.

I’m a democrat. I work in HVAC. I listen to Rush sometimes on my lunch break just to hear what the blowhard is talking about and let me say he does blow, hard. His mocking tone every time he mentions a democrats name is nauseating. The way he repeats certain phrases like “drive-by media” and “the messiah”, this is mostly referred to as “brainwashing”. Not here though. His slanderous remarks and his undying need to fill his followers full of fear over “communism coming to America”, is a form of control that we’re all familiar with from or recently republican controlled years. Do Obama’s plans have similarities to socialism? Yes. Has the “trickle down” capitalistic plan been working. No. The thing is, doctors will always make good money and guess what? There are some doctors out there that actually like to take cure people without thinking so much about their cut. Your boss will probably always make more money than you, the rich will stay rich (can’t really complain about paying 2.5 million in taxes cause that means you made more than 5!). Schools suck. Our power grids suck. Our energy supplies suck. Our roads suck. This is going to be O.K. But we all have to do our parts too and stand behind our president and try to make this work. Yes we need change. Why can’t WE make a new model for government that’s neither socialist nor capitalist. America was founded on immigrants (Columbus, for example may have been one of the first) that’s what we do, we take all our experience and backgrounds to create the ultimate country and government.
Ahh, who am I kidding. That’s another thing we’re never gonna do, right?

“How does Rush explain the utter failure of 8 years of tax cuts, and deregulation?”
Tax cuts didn’t cause this problem. The subprime mortgage crisis was the catalyst.
Google:
“Fannie Mae Eases Credit To Aid Mortgage Lending” (Sept 30, 1999)
“New Agency Proposed to Oversee Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae” (Sept 11, 2003)
“Pressured to Take More Risk, Fannie Reached Tipping Point” (Oct 5, 2008)
Which reminds me. Why aren’t Barney Frank and Chris Dodd in prison yet? For some odd reason, Democrats aren’t interested in the root causes. Gee, I wonder why.

No president would take time to debate a radio talk show host no matter how popular he is. Extending an invitation is one thing, adding a taunt is another. If the president wants to be on Limbaugh’s show all he as to do is pickup the phone. He can call it in.
Mainstream media should report everything Limbaugh said and exactly what he said. They won’t because an edited report better fits their agenda.
Limbaugh never said he just wanted Obama’s policies to fail. He said he wanted Obama’s policies to fail IF they were designed to end capitalism and personal liberty.
I agree. I oppose any effort to end capitalism and personal liberty. IF that is what Obama plans, I too hope he fails. If he plans to restore the nation and protect the Constitution in it’s entirety, I hope he succeeds. It isn’t Obama that I oppose or even all of his efforts. I oppose those efforts that I feel wouldn’t be in the best interest of the nation.
I would not support efforts to end capitalism and personal liberties just because some slick talking politician told me to. …. Sorry guys, I like my personal liberties.

Let’s keep our eye on the ball – this Rush/Obama debate is a scam – its all about the economy. The Dems don’t have Bush/Cheney to blame anymore so they are trying to create a diversion with Rush/Steele. We can yammer on about whether the President will take on Rush in an open debate and what will or will not happen. I really don’t care anymore – I thought it was sort of interesting when it first came up but now its boring. (It is not going to happen and, even if it does, nothing productive is going to come from it.)
the market is still down 25% since this administration opened shop, banks are still in a shambles and people are increasingly out of work. Shovel ready or not – want this administration to succeed or not – the issue is the economy and this administration’s initiatives to correct it.
It is time to get back to the business at hand: is this economy going to stop unraveling or not?
We need to tell the Dem’s propaganda machine that we caught them – it was a good laugh – and we need to get back to what we are doing with this economy.

Christian Conservative: I don’t have to justify abortion, that is the joy of living in a free nation. You want to pass a law based on your religion and opinion. The legality of abortion does not make them compulsory. You want to control others and yoke them with your beliefs. That cannot be allowed. You are free to protest, and express your outrage, I support you in that, but I cannot support that you somehow should be allowed to determine what my daughter can or cannot do with her body.

Rush Limbauh is about the poorest excuse for a human being I can think of. His judgement now is no better than it was when he was popping pills. They must have scrambled his brains, if in fact he has any at all. He is just trying to keep himself in the news, and I will give him credit for his bag of wind that draws attention from a few, but his effictiveness is just about zero. Maybe we can get him interested in cage fighting, another high I Q activity, since Rush can only count to one, using his middle finger. His so called challange to President Obama isn’t even worth discussing. Can you imagine how things would be if Rush were President ? Some people were just born to be loosers, and Rush you certainly are.

Bwahahah….Goofy Obamabots. Do you really think that Obama could take Rush in a debate? Rush makes his money talking, while Obama can only read a teleprompter. When Obama is off the teleprompter, he start little cutesy things like demonstrating that is a total idiot…like his there are 57 states speech, that “The Bomb” was dropped on Pearl Harbor not Japan, and that despite his bought and paid for law degree that that Obama doesn’t know alot about basic law….Rush would eat him for lunch, hence Obama will never debate Rush directly. BTW, Rush does have a big ego much like Obama………..but unlike the fool Obama, Rush is an intelligent man and will exploit Obama stupidity, immaturity, and unprofessionalism for chosing to use his time to pick a personal fight with a radio show celebrity. We realize that Obama can’t handle world leaders, Russia leaders has been laughing at obama, but seriously Rush is way above Obama too—obama should have chosen the Teletubbies instead to battle. Fighting with Rush is only going to make obama look even dumber.

Jerry Mullnax – Rush and the Republican party will never back away from a fight.
You forgot to mention Republicans party will nevery win back the WHITE HOUSE BECASUE YOUR PARTY IS THE MINORITY NOW. YOU NEED MORE THAN YOU WHITE BASE TO WIN BACK THE WHITE HOUSE.
Once you go black you nerver go back to white. Other minority race will be running to BE THE President and they will win becasue the white race is thinning out day by day. Any time a white women date and make babies by other race the baby become that race. White race will be no more which is find with me becasue whites are the most racist race OF THEM ALL!

Rush, you are exactly what is wrong with American Politics.. You are a distraction to the things that matter in this country. The things that matter in this country require the support of America as one voice.. and it’s not yours. So please put aside the “begging for attention” banter and do something for your country. Why not sell your jet and send a couple of kids to college. Speaking of your jet, what a waste!! How much fuel does it take to get you from new york to california? That thing run on solar panels?

Louis: Thank you! So many people do not understand the difference between social programs and socialism. Nazi Germany was a socialist country. Only white aryans were acceptable. All others off to the camps. Media had to be approved. Kids told to monitor their parents conversations and report them. Books were burned. Communications were monitored. And the enforcers were known as the Gestapo. People either were with or against Hitler and blindly declared their loyalty without question. I work in a juvenile justice system, but evidently it is not a job per RNC Chair Michael Steele since I am County paid. But, we are part of the social programs to try deal with delinquents who rip off people’s stuff! As for the drug usage, please do not kid yourselves parents who think all of your children live lives of purity. No, I do not blame all parents who are often in shock when they find out that their children have been experimenting and are sexually active. Kids are able to do all manner of stuff before 9:00 p.m. curfew! I am a Democrat who voted for President Obama who experimented and admitted to it – big difference. But, I am neither a blind ignoramus or an intellectually challenged follower. I do not like his continuation of the previous administration’s bank bailouts which DC seems to think is so necessary. I would like for him to clearly explain what would be the actual fallout if they all collapsed other than thousands of unemployed regular bank employees. And, I am spitting bullets about AIG. I am appalled at what is happening to the GOP? We need decent debate and discourse about differing points of view with intelligence and respect for the other by elected officials – but drop tax cuts as being the only course of action. Trickle down economics is an over-rated myth that is still waiting for roto rooter. And where were the ethical practices in big business and financial institutions? This recession officially started in January 2007 even before President Obama declared his candidacy. Now we need to fix it. Even small business owners need to spend money to kick start it and then pay back the debt when profits start to come in. Unfortunately, the USA is not a small business that needs just a bit of money! Yes, Dems had a two year majority but how many Republicans posting have been honest enough to mention the word cloture filibuster that was either used frequently or threatened by the Republican senators to block Dem legislature? The number is the highest in Senate history – 100 times! And, President Bush threatened veto 39 times. You can check official sites and count for yourselves. Bipartisan by the GOP was non-existant in those two years. Please note that I have been polite but I will not tolerate my President, or any future President of either Party, been called out to debate by an entertainer who has not been elected to anything other than appointed by his/her fans. Limbaugh’s ratings may go up but presumably his financial contract is fixed whether they go up or down? So, let him claim that he will own the United States of America. Not this US citizen he will not!

Yes, of course he is. But Obama spending trillions of dollars that we don’t have on pork that won’t help stimulate the economy is an act of sheer genius. Everyone knows that the best way to demonstrate “fiscal responsiblity” is to spend yourself into oblivion. Ask any bankrupt person. LOL.

Oh good grief. I am conservative and I did NOT vote for Obama, but Rush needs to shut up and go away already. What an idiot and a bully. And he’d look even more moronic than he already does if Obama, who’s about 5 times more intelligent, even deigned to debate with him. This is such a distraction. Let’s stay focused on the decisions being made in the White House right now. I don’t agree with those decisions, but would seek more constructive ways of trying to avoid the socialism Obama is leading us into.

The rape and iscest argument will not go away – sorry but choice is the only answer – no one can be forced into an abortion, and no one should be denied if they have made a thoughtful and thorough consideration. Of course very few, if any abortions involve sucking brains from babies, because most are done before a brain actually forms in the embryo. No one should make light of the horror of the woman’s plight in this situation, and there should be no more harassment.
The comments on this story have certainly ranged far and wide, but thank God most Americans are thinking, caring people and not the greedy, cruel and unChristian folks who fall for Rush and his hate cult.
Posted by: Em | March 4, 2009, 10:08 pm 10:08 pm
Obama can’t answer questions on his own…not real ones. So to avoid a real reporter asking a meaningful question and demanding a straight answer, Obama has a list of reporters that he will only take questions from. It has gotten so bad that even reporters are saying that they should even bother to raise their hands to ask questions, because if you aren’t one of Obama’s chosen few—-he simply will not allow a real question to be mentioned. There is no way in heck, that Obama will debate Rush. Rush would eat him alive.

I thought America was a free country, no ownership by anyone but by the people. All of us Mayflower descendants, American Native Indians, and explorers who founded America own American if that’s the case. Rush is a “wannabe”, proven drug user, can’t stay married to one woman very long, 3 marriages and 3 divorces, and loves going to Costa Rica often. Yeah, he is really a conservative, which means “less”. So, he is a known drug user, has had more than one marriage, and goes to Costa Rica a lot — that’s not conservative, and certainly not less with no discipline and no character.

I believe the majority of us have insane thoughts pass through our minds making us wonder “where did that come from”. Limbaugh, Hannity and Coulter validate those thoughts and make people who think those “insane thoughts” all the time feel comfortable. They make an enormous amount of money for this when you consider that both Hannity and Limbaugh didn’t make it through their freshman year of college. Christian, conservatives.. please give me a break.. What Church do they go to? I don’t believe they have ever answered that question.

>>>From reading the contents of this post, it looks like rednecks are accounting for about 80% of the GOP nowadays.<<< Well, make that 79.9999%, because I was accepted at 3 Ivy League schools. Why am I a conservative? Because I realized long ago that socialism is a flawed system that has never worked well wherever it's been tried. It flies in the face of human nature. People want to work hard and keep what they've earned – they don't want to send their hard-earned dollars to central planners who will use it to "spread the wealth around" as they see fit. Socialism saps the incentive to work, which eventually causes the system to fail. That's where we're headed under the Great Obama Society.

Why would you listen to someone during your 1/2 hr paid lunch who nauseates you?
I didn’t say I listen every day, every lunch! lol I’m not that in to self-punishment! Just every few days for 15 minutes or so. When Biden misspoke about the guy in the wheelchair standing up for a round of applause, Rush played that clip and laughed and laughed. He played it within a 20 minute spot, and I kid you not because I kept a tally as I sat in my work truck, 13 times. Granted, it was a little funny, but over and over? Just like everything else he spouts, he does it over and over. That’s why I only need to listen a couple times a week to know what the brainwash of the week is. He is an ENTERTAINER with too much influence on a fledgling republican party who are scared to death of losing the support of the super-rich cause if they pay more taxes they pay less contributions. Why pay a politician if they can’t save you millions in taxes? I do like to think about the humiliation he must feel when reading those commercials. makes me giggle on the inside. hehe

Greta just nailed it when she said on her show tonight that Obama is trying to portray Rush as the leader of the GOP because he is losing democrat’s support and he wants them to think their only alternative is Rush. This will backfire because he is the POTUS and he’s acting like a partison hack. I guess he wants conservatives to know that he isn’t their president.

No children but Rush goes to Costa Rica alot — no role model. Rush has never held a political seat locally, state, or national level — not role model.

After reading numerous comments about Mr. Limbaugh,it’s seems to me that liberals truly fear him. All I hear is personal insults about his drug use and nothing about the issues he brings up. Can anyone articulate the issues that he brings to the table, without the personal insults. I’m not interested in whether he used drugs or not, because everyone has done something that they are not proud of.

>>>If Rush wants a debate, he should have ran for president!!!!<<< Rush could easily win Kit Bond's senate seat from his home state of Missouri if he wanted, I'm sure. But Rush has said many times that (1) he doesn't want to take the pay cut (relax – it's a joke), and (2) he would lose his ability to speak without limitations and he would have to echo a party line at times. That's not his style, as you may have noticed.

It is scary reading most of these posts. It’s like some of you have been brainwashed. Our country is being divided on purpose. As a people we must stay true to what is really important. Life, Liberty and the pursuit of happiness. All we need is the Constitution, Declaration of Independence and Federalist Papers to lead us. Not slimey politicians in Washington. They created this mess and only the American people can get us out of it. Let’s not fight each other, let’s express our outrage to the politicians.

You rally behind the stupidiest people possible. how about RUsh and Palin in 2012. Let’s REALLY ensure Obama gets a second term. I dont listen to rush, I listen to Marketplace on NPR< i read the wallstreet journal and the Economist magazine. I KNOW what is going on. RUsh is moron who has not the tiniest clue of what is going on. ANd instead of listening to something that could inform you, you listen to the village idiots. I am actually a Romney fan, but your party is so so so so far gone. You HAD intelligent successfully classy men, and who do you put on your pedastle?? a fat (and I"m sorry, but fat very fat people ARE lazy,selfindulgent and weak. Why else are they so fat?????!!! What if Hillary weighed 300 pounds??? Ya think this would have escaped conservatives???? uhhh, i think not!) He's already proven he's dumb (College flunk out) he's weak ( fat and former drug ADDICT – not someone who TRIED drugs and walked away, no he was ADDICTED- WEAK!) THree times divorced, or was it two??? GREAT family values, oh, but he has no kids. yeah, so what does he know about ANYTHING???? he can't keep a marriage, he has no kids, he couldn't hack an education and he can't even keep his hands off the icecream containers and you trust HIM to enlighten you as to the complex natures of banking, finance and government reform???

Melvin, it demeans the Office of the President to have a radio talk show host challenge our President to come down to some rinky dink studio to be interviewed. The appropriate response is that Mr. Obama would be happy to debate Mr. Limbaugh when the latter decides to run for President.
Feel free to exchange “Obama” with “Bush” and “Limbaugh” with “Olbermann” in the above, it doesn’t change things. At a certain level the Office is due respect and if Mr. Limbaugh was serious, he would not have suggested the President waste his time. It is a sign of ultimate hubris…

Both radical conservatives and liberals hate each other and will say anything to make the other side look evil. Both the republican and democratic parties put their party first and the country about fourth priority in how they vote. For those still reading, our founders wanted us to have free speech to stop corruption in government. Instead we us it to corrupt the truth so the average American has no clue who is corrupt. Do you realize your example on here is teaching the next generation what American values are. It is a clear message is you fight to win and truth is of no importance. In America we elect the person who did the best job of sell his distortions than the other side. It has nothing to do with truth. After all, truth is just whatever you think it is and everyone else are idiots.

And your calling Limbaugh a Saint? HA HA HA!
He’s worse than a devils advocate. Let talk about
his drug addiction. He knew exactly
how much money to with draw from his secret
money stash so it wouldn’t be flagged as
suspicious! He took out approximately $9K EVERY
TIME there was a money withdrawal. Had his maid
do his dirty work, bringing him the drugs that
were signed by several doctors ( who didn’t know what was going on)! See the rich don’t need to worry about insurances with this type behavior, because they have the cash. Finally got caught, went into rehab, ironically being his first offense,
(slapped on the wrist as limbaugh always chastised this as lame punishment for years) then mysteriously we hear no more problems with his back! Let us just call HIM the CHOSEN ONE!

Wow. Obviously you do not actually listen to Rush at all. He has said endlessly that he wants everyone to succeed – regardless of race, gender, age, etc. It is central planning and statism that he rails against, because it saps people of motivation and makes them rely on the state. Like the restoration of the welfare state that the Obama-Reid-Pelosi troika is advocating.

If you haven’t figured out why abortion is legal, I’ll tell you why, because to have to carry a child of rape or incest into this world inflicts even more pain on the victim to the point that it does endager the life of the mother, because of the potential risk of suicide. So you tell me what are the victims of rape and incest suppose to do go infront of some male judge for 9 months and try to plead their case, I think not.

You and your born again Christians just don’t understand the Bible and Jesus Christ at all, totally made up church with your own version of what happened in Christ’s life. You and all your born again buddies are so “antichrist”. Become a real Christian and you will find out what the true meaning of “antichrist” is. Obama is a Christian just like I am and he has accepted Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior. That’s isn’t an antichrist. Antichrist is someone who isn’t Christlike and Obama and I are “Christlike”. Furthermore, people like you who throw around the word Christianity make a bad name for Christians.

Son of Rodin,
You make a valid point. Unfortunately, you assign the correct attitude to Mr. Limbaugh.
It just isn’t so…. I have listened to many of Mr. Limbaugh’s shows, not I imagine, as many as you, but I am personally aware of what Mr. Limbaugh says.
He is makes the most grievous errors in his assertions: “I am telling you the truth, I [always] tell the truth..”
That is not true. He is a human, he is not a god (is THAT? where you got the Obama as messiah line… because Rush id YOURS!?!)…….sheeet
So – fact:
Limbaugh is human — he isn’t always right.
Obama is human — he isn’t always right.
Obama represents my viewpoint. I support him as the head of state in the country where I was born and reside.
So, does Limbaugh represent you in…what? He’s head of the radio show on the wave band you hear?
America is a very strong country and will survive this crisis…. I will lay you odds that one of these two men will be merely a footnote on history’s page…
Who do you think fills the page?

You need to move away from those neocon lies and live in the real world.

Can anyone imagine some intellectual like Obama lowering himself to debate the hate filled Limbaugh. It would be ridiculous and sad to see our great orator, President Obama stoop to a silly fight with the likes of the silly Limbaugh. Just think what Limbaugh has done in the past. There was his record of illicit drug abuse including penis enhancing drugs while single and on vacation. Besides his morals are like a guttersnipe and to even appear on the same stage with Limbaugh would ruin Obama’s reputation. Leave the ally cat, Limbaugh, to his own devices and let the moral majority worship at his feet all they want, but real men and real Christians know right from wrong and even Limbaugh’s assumption that he could do anything but rant when confronted with Obama’s rational approach shows how out of touch with reality Rush is. Rush thinks far too much of himself if he thinks Obama would stoop to discuss anything with a bigot like Rush is. What a sad, sad thing Rush is and he is really worthy of our pity since he has lost his way to such a degree.

She’s a crook and so is her husband.

Adding people to welfare rolls, I guess no one has told you that there is no welfare in the state of Wisconsin anymore. The only aid they give out these days is food stamps and it really sucks, if you happen to lose your job, due to illness. Another thing just because abortion is legal doesn’t mean, you have to have one, because I’m was a teenage mom and I didn’t get one, and I wouldn’t advocate anyone getting one just because they are poor or unmarried. Those are stupid reasons, people aren’t destined to be poor their whole lifes or rich for the whole lifes, it is not a birth right. People lose their jobs and people come into money. So getting an abortion because your down on your luck or are young is just plain dumb. The only reasons even to consider an abortion are for cases of rape, incest and the life of the mother and because of those reasons only is why it has to be legal, because to put someone on trial for the right to terminate a pregnancy under those circumstances are wrong. Look at it this way when Men wage war they are on their honor to do it for the right reasons, when women seek abortions they are on their honor to do it for the right reasons. And yes this is flawed people do it for the wrong reasons, but men also kill innocent people during times of war.

Then another nut-case named AHMADINEJAD
challenged the US President to debate.
This bum Rush is no different.
There will always be crack-pots asking the US President to debate.
RUSH IS THE FACE of GOP. There is no one within GOP who can question or contain this idiot. What a shame to GOP!!! Keep this idiot talking…We love it…

>>>He [Limbaugh] makes the most grievous errors in his assertions: “I am telling you the truth, I [always] tell the truth..”<<< Oh, for God's sake. It's schtick; it's not meant LITERALLY. Do you think that Rush listeners think (and agree) that he means some phrase like that literally? What about when he says he has "half his brain behind his back – just to make it fair." Do you think half of his brain is REALLY tied behind his back? Geez, get a sense of humor. I guess for liberals it's what Kirsty Aley as the Vulcan junior officer on Star Trek once said: "Humor…it is a difficult concept!"

Rush Limbaugh is laughing all the way to the bank. He just signed a $400 million deal to continue his radio show. He revels in liberal hatred of him.
It’s a stupid move for the Obama administration to attack members of the media. It’s beneath the dignity of a President, and it will backfire. People know this dust-up is designed by the White House to take attention away from the big spending spree.

Hmmm…the last time a president went after members of the media the president was excoriated by the press. Of course, he was a Republican – Richard Nixon – so it was OK to bash him for doing so. Yet here is Team Obama going after Rush, Rick Santelli (CNBC) and Jim Cramer (CNBC) – all because Team Obama can’t take a little First Amendment criticism. Sounds paranoid and overly defensive to me.
Posted by: Son of Rodin | March 4, 2009, 11:21 pm 11:21 pm
Barack Obama is making a big mistake going after media people and making remarks about “cable chatter.” It reminds of the time he pouted for a couple of weeks on the campaign trail. A fed-up reporter asked him if he ever planned on speaking to the press again. His response was, “That depends on how well-behaved you are.” What an ego! Barack Obama’s enormous ego will be his downfall.

Janet I think you may have one too many zeros in that new package, which was signed over six months ago dear. That’s old news in the media. Having had over 25 years in the media, you are too overjoyed over something that doesn’t really matter in journalism — money isn’t real but illusions are. Rush is a bad illusionists who has negative thinking followers like yourself thinking that kind of money is enormous. Michael Jackson had over $1 billion dollars in earnings and now he is B R O K E. Rush will be broke soon since more people don’t listen to his negative comments. This is why Rush is trying to drum up a magical show. He needs magic to keep him alive! He has become the Roy of Siegfried and Roy duo, taken off stage by a “tiger”.

PresGov: Have you even read the bills that Republicans did a cloture filibuster? I did. They are all posted so you can look them up. Here is just a few: (1) Raising minimum wage (2) Ethics reforms (3) Funding Intelligence Community. I really do ponder things first. Besides filibuster is a Senate ruling and can be changed to a different number of votes or discarded altogether. And, for the first six years, the Republicans stated that fillibustering was all wrong and they were going to change it. Really? Go read up on it. Yes, I got long winded. Been reading comments so long, I had to jump in and get a few things off my chest! Sorry about that. I have seen the results of an initiation gang rape on a very young 13 year old girl. What is so wrong about rushing such victims to the ER, getting the swabs and immediately prescribing those morning after pills – or whatever they are called – before pregnancy occurs? Does pro-life also ban birth control? I really have not received a clear answer on that one. Thank you.

Posted by: Roscoe2400 | March 4, 2009, 11:29 pm 11:29 pm
He’s asking to be relevent. Obama should not give him the attention he seeks, until it is convenient, and that’s 4 years from now. Rush has 4 years to make a fool of himself. I could see if he was running, but to speak for others won’t get him or her the seat. Rush can attract viwers, but he will ultimatly jeopardize chances for GPO’s future.No one else has answers, including Rush, but continue to point fingers at the new guy and wishes him to lose. What a guy. Now that’s the kind of character I would want to speak for me, NOT!!!! He’s funny in a circus kind of way, but that’s it.

The man is a joke and so are the people who listen to him and pay his 400 million dollar salary for a few hours of work each day.
Rush gets on the radio in the morning and spews hate and venom and his ditto heads eat it up. Most of them live in the red states which are the poorest, the most uneducated and have the highest foreclosure and unemployment rates in the country. Yet they flock to this loudmouth who doesn’t want to lift a hand to help them. Failure of Obama’s Economic Plan means more misery for them and yet they follow like lambs to a slaughter house.

zorra, good point. As in the movie “Sweet Home Alabama”, Reese Witherspoon says about her friend at the bar scene that “he couldn’t get it one with her or with any other girl in town”, meaning her friend was gay. The next day Reese’s character stated she was trying to take the attention off of her and put onto her male friend from high school days. Rush is trying to do to same by making it appear Obama is weak by not debating him. Obama ain’t weak! But Rush is a weak man — drug addict in his 50s, divorced three women, and loves to date women in Costa Rica since no American woman wants him. Rush is a total loser and having signed contracts doesn’t make men and women rich — just ask Lehman Brothers.

Why? There is no attack language. The language suggests you get sleep from some substance Mr. Limbaugh could offer.

Gl, I doubt you have a job that requires you to take your spouse all over as part of your job. Palin does—so taking her kids with them doesn’t seem unrealistic. When my husband was in the military and we as a family were forced to travel, we took the kids and billed the government too.

JB in St. Louis – When did Obama attack a PRIVATE citizen. Rush Limbaugh, that guy on CNBC, Sean Hannity are all radio and tv personalities that want as much public attention as they can. They seem real happy about it, so why are you trying to defend these poor helpless private citizens. As far as Joe the plumber, he is the guy that became famous for lying to Obama that he was a plumber wanting to buy a large plumbing business that Obama tax was going to prevent. Truth is he is not a plumber and he did not have enough money to buy the business he was describing even if his taxes were cut in have. He has been rewarded by the conservative group for the great values he stood for and made money off of it. So he is happy if Obama talks about him. Why are you trying to protect him? This is all political games that both parties play to distract the public from a bill that is bad or the fact that the party has no leader and no plan to solve the nations problems.

Okie-dokie PresGov…
You are incorrect.
There is no way to call a person with a four year term of [employment]… the “worst ever” after only six weeks on the job.
You are numerically, logically and factually INCORRECT.
Period.
Get an original idea or lose every argument — I offer you that sentiment as a gift.

Keep it up Rush Limbaugh and the GOP will be no more!!!! I ask why are you and the GOP following sooo angry even when you were in control for the last eight years. The answer is that the country is indeed changing and you and your party will become very obsolete. Continue to be the conservative party you cherish while the country is becoming more and more moderate and you will LOSE. By the last two elections, it’s already happening. THANK YOU JESUSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS.

AngieJ, 162 is correct and no Obama teleprompter is necessary.
Obama probably needs a teleprompter at home just to remember his wife’s name. He couldn’t get Kathleen Sebelius’ intro right the other day without one. Maybe he can make an honest buck endorsing a teleprompter manufacturer.
The lefties commenting on this article are just a hoot…stupid as rocks, but fun to read.

Delusions of grandeur, boasting of intellectual superiority not merited by any measure, bullying mannerisms and bloated corpulent appearance – I agree, Rush Limbaugh is the de facto leader of the Republican Party.
By the way Rush, For your information, the American Constitution does not contain ANY reference to “the Creator” or god as you stated at the CPAC conference, that would be the Declaration of Independence, just a small point you might like to note for when you debate President Obama. Personally I couldn’t bear to watch, the sight of all your metaphorical blood and guts spattered everywhere would be just too disgusting.

BO was a teenager when he used drugs – RL was an old a$$ man. And he broke the law – he had the prescriptions written in his maids name and he used deceptive tactics to get the drugs. He was no different than a crack addict standing on a corner. He just had a mansion and a 7 figure salary to hide behind.

President Obama made only one short comment about Rush Limbaugh. He is supposed to be an excellent poker player. I suspect he just threw out a wild card – if that is the right term. Rahm added to it. Gibbs responded to a reporter’s question. Now just look at all of the comments. Limbaugh and the GOP are now tied at the hip in the eyes of many. The real Republicans who truly represent their constituents and know the hardships many Americans are facing need to come out of the shadows and fear of the mighty one and start working in Congress to get our mess fixed. Voters, one at a time, elected them. Governors seem to have a better handle on the problems. Yes, Pelosi is aggressive abd can be abrasive but read up on how she was treated under the Bush administration. And she is the first female Speaker of the House in that predominantly good old boys club. And, as a Texas Dem, I am still unforgiving of Tom DeLay! He diced, sliced and rolled up entire Dem districts into Republican districts to politally rape us after the last census. You bet we will be carefully watching the next census. And as an afterthought, we now have two former President Bushes living here.

Conservitives also think that tax dollars will just disapeer, that money goes to one of the of the largest employer in the world, the government.

What are his life's accomplishments other then being elected president with absolutely no resume?

Well I can tell you this much, Russia thinks Obama is an idiot, China says they hate us for all this debt that obama is bringing, and Obama has snubbed the Brits AGAIN this week. So that pretty much only leaves who that follow Obama—the terrorists of Gaza?

He is trying to kill the US constition which includes Amendemnt #22 which limits presidential terms, trying to take over the census which could give him power to decide the number of electoral votes each state is entitled to along with the number of representatives for Congress, and is bringing over his people from the terrorist Hamas part of the world so they will be able to vote along with instituting fascists idealogy and laws limiting free speech. And of course, Obama and the voter Fraud Acorn are all part of the same group. In other words, my dear like Marxist Chavez, Obama if allowed to continue is trying to become dictator for life.

Open Mind, 8 years of reckless tax cuts that benefited no one with less than a 6 figure income, deregulation that lead to disasterous imports, lax production, runaway coorporate corruption within the banking industry and stock market. Over a trillion dollars spend directly on a war and occupation that did nothing but increase the price of oil, erode American standing in the world, promote terrorism, and cost thousands of American lives. Completely disregarded due process and accountability of the Executive Branch. Need we go on?

Louis,
You’re blaming the the credit crisis and the global recession on Bush tax cuts? Are you serious? Sorry, but what you are describing is impossible. You might want to research the Community Reinvestment Act and the sub-prime loan catastrophe that was mostly initiated by the left. If not for that, this would be just another mild recession that would already be in recovery.
Then you blame Bush for deregulation? So what was the name of his deregulation bill? Good luck finding it, because it doesn’t exist. The last significant deregulation was signed into law under President Clinton.
Sorry, but I don’t have time to debunk the rest of your Michael Moore conspiracy theories, so you will need to do you own research from here on out. Have a nice day.

PresGov – Are you trying to insult real plumbers by claiming Joe’s background qualified him to say he was a plumber? He was a plumber just like he is an international reporter. He is just trying to find the easiest way to wealth without going through the steps that professionals in both fields have to go through.
As far as REDISTRIBUTION, that has been going on for over twenty years. You need to do some research on how the rich have been doing compared to the average American. I suppose you are fine with the REDISTRIBUTION to the rich, but not the average American.

Limbaugh represents only himself and plays to the very far lunatic right wingers who don’t have the good sense God handed out in order to think for themselves. Limbaugh reminds me of Kudzu, a plant once thought to have value but since has become known as a pest weed that grows out of control. I think he’s back on the oxycontin.

You don’t have to pass a law to do that, you just tell the heads of the regulation agencies to back off and let capitalism make us prosper. It did not work. You also point out policies of the democrats that were bad and say that is the cause without mentioning that the republicans controlled Congress and had a republican president that never vetoed anything for five years. Yet they were never able to correct these bad policies. That means they either accepted those policies or were incompetent. Bush held the world record for spending before the democrats decided to take the title back. Both parties are responsible for this mess!

Empty-Mind, Rush was addicted to very high doses of a heroin-like substance. He is a hypocrite because, according to his own strict standard for law enforcement, he should be locked up. His back pain excuse is just that – an excuse.
Obama experimented with less dangerous drugs as a teenager and then left them behind.

Altlic,
Less dangerous drug as a teenager? Sorry, but you don’t know your President very well … how about some facts. Cocaine (President Obama likes to call it “blow” in his book) is certainly more dangerous than the prescription pain killers that Rush became addicted to. Young Obama also liked dope and alcohol, and he’s publicly joked about it as an adult ( “of course I inhaled, that was the point!”), and he’s still addicted to cigarettes. Now I’m not a drug user, but it’s my understanding that when you openly joke about your drug use and casually use terms like “blow”, then you’re pretty hard core.
In the future, you may want to double-check your facts before insulting people.
Also, it would be nice if President Obama and his team would focus more on fixing this economic mess and focus less on what Rush says at DPAC.
Have a nice day.

It’s an idiotic ultimatum offered up by a ratings-hungry loser who would declare himself the winner even if he sat and listened to Obama give an hour-long dissertation on universal health care. Obama has won debates against the best and brightest politicians out there. For those of you who think he couldn’t handle Limbaugh’s pack of lies….GET A FREAKING GRIP! You people are sad.

Rush Limbaugh is old,tired news, everyone is just soooo sick of him and his big mouth.He has yet to be correct about one thing that I can come up with,but he is funny,yet he distorts every single thing he brings up.But as an entertainer he is entitled to say things however he wants, much like Jon Stewart or Bill Maher, they are all just comedians in the end.What is truly incredible is how the right wing conservatives listen to his every word like gospel.Folks, he is an entertainer, not a policy maker, he lies and cheats to get high ratings so he can make more money, that’s all.He doesn’t give a pigs whistle about you,me or anybody else. He is a one way street.

can someone tell rush limbaugh and the ditto heads that the election is OVER and obama doesn’t have to debate the lunatic fringe right wingers any more?… if rush limbaugh likes to flaunt his money and is in-fact the leader of the republican party (oh, the joy of the ruin of them if that is true!), why doesn’t he run for president in 2012?… he can run with ann coulter!… between the two of those perfectly thinking true americans, how can the republicans lose? LMFAO!

Rush Limbaugh, before you wish for the failure of Obama I wish you would try and think about who will suffer? Is it Obama alone or is it the whole of America? Remember if Obama fails, it will afftect the whole nation. I am not an Obama fan, I am a mere new permanent resident of USA. I did not vote for him. But I know that the whole nation will be affected whoever is on the President’s seat. You are not helping the people of America, I guess instead of waisting your time with hate, with debate, with destruction, maybe it will help America more if you contribute what startegies you may have to improve in the economy and hope that Obama (who happens to be in the President’s seat) may listen, think about it and agree with your strategy. Please stop this hate, and try to cooperate. At this point in time we all need to cooperate to help improve America’s economy. I hope you get what I am trying to say. IF OBAMA FAILS, THE PEOPLE OF AMERICA SUFFERS. Is this what you want? This people includes YOU. I am very disappointed in your actions.

I guess Limbaugh has to call out someone else after calling out Michael Steele, the RNC chair. Even after Limpbaugh called Steele “insignificant”, Steele offered up an apology. So maybe the oxycontin king was right about something, for a change.
Posted by: devilkev | March 5, 2009, 1:21 am 1:21 am
Rush had spinal surgery and became addicted to the highly additive Oxycontin that the doctor placed him on. Obama like to get stoned out of his head and is an admitted (pretty stupid that he wrote a book babying his ego, bragging about abusing drugs) coke head. Rush is just holds a mike, Obama holds the nuclear football. Which one would an intelligent person be concerned about? Hint obamabots: Obama

face it america… capitalism is imploding in on itself… like slavery, turned to feudalism, turned to capitalism, the systems keep getting better, but capitalism just is not working because it still needs the masses working the hardest to make the owning class rich… and greed is inherent in that system which is EXACTLY what destroyed the system… luckily the people have rejected the old capitalist trickle down republican mentality and are moving towards a more progressive vision for the future… one where we live more in harmony with the ecosystem (lest we go extinct) and where the government actually works for the PEOPLE and not corporations, banks and the rich… yes, change is painful, and humanity is stressing under those changes, but if we are to survive as a species, we definatly need to move in the direction we are turning towards… my only wish is that as few people as possible are hurt in the backlash from those whose mental evolution is stuck (ie. rush limbaugh and the fringe right wing negative)

I find it very telling that the Obamabots try to smear anyone that talks facts about Obama. It shows that even the bots can’t justify Obama’s horrible destructive behavior. Can’t argue substance, try to redirect with personal attacks right. How very fascists and marxist of you.

The democrats are making a lot of mistakes, especially with the bills they are passing. Why doesn’t the republicans challenge them with their own plan. You can’t blame it on democratic lead committees. If republicans really had a better proposed bill, it could easily be published all over the Internet and republicans could be taking the air ways discussing point by point why their plan is better. I don’t think they have a plan or don’t want to risk taking part of the blame if their bill does not work. Both parties are doing a horrible job!

Angie, that is the funny thing—-I am not a fan of Rush…I don’t listen to him unless I am just trapped in a car with someone who does. I just find it hillarious and very alarming that Obama is chosing to attack radio and tv personalities instead of behaving like a real president. The attacks on those that speak out about Obama (all true stuff too btw) is very petty. Obama has therefore proven himself Petty.
Posted by: PresGov | March 5, 2009, 1:29 am 1:29 am
I forgot to mention the debate, one on one with truth moderators and nothing scripted, timed responses, you know, a real debate.Limbaugh would possibly have a mild heart attack,maybe even a stroke ,the actual stress of trying to argue or prove a point with someone as quick as Obama would blow Limbaugh’s head open.I mean Obama went to Harvard,I don’t give a hoot who paid for it he is certainly worth it,ran a genius race and won the election against everything Limbaugh and his ratpack of ignorant neoconmen could throw at him day after day after day.If,on the other hand he wants a O’Reilly style debate where he does 98 per cent of the talking, well, Obama doesn’t even have to show up now does he?

Open-Mind – You don’t see all the facts, such as deregulation. You don’t have to pass a law to do that, you just tell the heads of the regulation agencies to back off and let capitalism make us prosper. It did not work. You also point out policies of the democrats that were bad and say that is the cause without mentioning that the republicans controlled Congress and had a republican president that never vetoed anything for five years.
Posted by: MikeMo1947
———-
Can you please provide ANY evidence to back up your conspiracy theories about Bush’s backdoor deregulation? Fact is, Bush warned congress about the sub-prime nightmare but he could not get Barney Frank and his buddies to stop, and at that Bush failed. But Bush did not cause the sub-prime mess or fail to veto anything that caused it. If you think otherwise, please provide evidence.
In the mean time, you may want to google the following:
“Fannie Mae Eases Credit To Aid Mortgage Lending” (Sept 30, 1999)
“New Agency Proposed to Oversee Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae” (Sept 11, 2003)

Harvard? You mean the school to graduated both Bush and Obama? Something tells me that the assumption that they produce really intelligent people is severely overrated. BTW AP, the saud not only paid for obama, but had to bribe the school with $1 million to let Obama in since Obama’s grades and test scores were not high enough to get him on his own. Same thing goes for the President of the Harvard Review, standards had to be lowered for Obama to obtain it. Truely pathetic.

I believe the cause for all of this stems from the Man-Child’s arrogance that he should not be the object of another man’s ridicule. Obama simply can’t let it go. Rush knew that, of course.

Everyone knows that Rush is a blowhard, an insulated, well filtered call in line, button pushing only “voice” for the far right. I would much prefer a person with ethical standards, who is compassionate and caring to all. Who represents the best that America has to offer. Who stands up to the gay/lesbian crowd, who wants fiscal responsibility, who believes in education and hard work versus who you know and corrupt unions.
Obama is the president and has some good ideas. He is dead wrong about pushing the gay/lesbian agenda. He is right on alternative energy.

Hey Presgov, you’re full of crap, your facts are basackwards and you just make stuff up, are all you dittoheads the same? Bush went to Yale on his daddies dime and almost flunked out, he glided through on daddies connections maintaining a D average at best, that’s about all you can say about Bush, not a real bright dude.Obama went to Harvard,big difference from a school like Yale, and unless you have it somewhere as actual proof from the Saudi Government and not from Limbaugh, Obama took out huge student loans, got grants and borrowed tons of money which he just recently paid back with his book proceeds.And Mark is absolutely correct,Mr Limbaugh came out years ago in San Francisco at the Underheel Club where he still goes on occasion.His speciality is being urinated on while he flps on the restroom floor by hairy queens.

actually, obama is brilliant in bringing attention to rush limbaugh and calling attention to him… everyone knows that rush limbaugh type people could NEVER win an election, so obama keeps him in the limelight and in fact, has gotten even the Republican Party National Committee Head to grovel to him as well, rendering the republican party impotent… as long as rush limbaugh, ann coulter, joe the plumber, and sarah palin are the leading republican mascots, obama is in good shape!… keep it up obama, keep the right wing bullies ticked off and having tantrums in the corner while the rest of us move forward

So what that Obama got stoned in College,so did I, in fact I fought a whole war in rice paddies stoned along with thousands of others, so what.The last two Presidents were both stoners, one balanced the budget ,the other couldn’t balance on one foot.Big deal,You can’t judge anyone by what they smoke or drink, it’s what they do that counts in the end.Obama himself said that if this whole thing fails he’s out ,so the job that the Republicans have is to come up with someone aho can at least equal the class and intelligence of Obama.And for the record….Bobby Jindal is a moron,actually a liar and a maroon and so is that Palin broad from “We can see Russia”. Another Maroon…..”Jeez Bugs, are we really all alone here”?

Obama is most likely to be the first American President in history to be forced to resign after the American public storms all of the airports and forces their closure until he does.

Rush can’t offer the president what he doesn’t own. The president already owns the white house. Does Rush own a printing press where he makes his own money or something? Where does his money come from? Unless he is printing his own money then his money comes from taxpayers to in one way or another. The money and perks that the president gets comes with the job so fatboy just needs to shut the h— up and keep popping those pills. Limbaugh came up with the word “Porkulus” which is synonimus with “pork”, “pig” and if you look real close at Rush he is a spitting image of a “pig”. He is fat and a drug addict so why should the president of the US even give him the time of day.

earth_not_flat: No I’m not saying that it’s ok for Limbaugh to be a current drug addict, if indeed he IS a current drug addict. (You don’t know that he’s a current drug addict! He might very well be a former drug addict too!) Neither is it alright for Obama to be a former drug addict. What I’m saying is that you Obamabots shouldn’t act so high and mighty about your guy since he hasn’t exactly been a saint!

antirush: You are wrong! Barack Obama DOES NOT own the white house! The white house belongs to the American citizens. Obama is only allowed to live there as a perk for being the president. If for some reason he is ever impeached he will be evicted out of there in a New York minute! You are also wrong about Limbaugh not owning anything! I know of at least one million dollar plus mansion that he owns in Florida. Since we know that Obama DOES NOT own the white house do you want to tell me again what he owns?

I think Robert Gibbs, for running his mouth and dragging rush out of obscurity, should debate Rush, or rather challenge Rush to a debate in a neutral forum. None of you Dem diehards thought of this, – out a thousand of left responses, – because you are afraid of the outcome. The CONCERNS regarding the direction that our President is moving US, do not belong to Rush. Nevertheless, this peon public servant is talking smack about a regular citizen; so this citizen doesn’t just roll over, go figure . . . . I think all of you Barry disciples posting here, underestimate how many swing-voters (you know, those people who cause the D&R political control to change handsback and forth) would intently listen to the debate no matter which way it went. The President should not debate him, but SOMEONE FROM THE ADMINISTRATION NEEDS TO PUT-UP OR SHUT-UP, since they are attacking him.

The chicken taunts from the Repukelicans is indicative of their intelligence. Seriously, the stupidity and immaturity of those fools is beyond comprehension. Rush hopes Obama fails, so much for his so-called patriotism.

Rush Limbaugh is a comedian! Obama is an intelligent man with a job to do and he is setting about doing it. Rush Limbaugh doesn’t even have a college degree..Obama has a law degree and he graduated magna cum laude..Rush Limbaugh support the Republican policies that has always left this country with a deficit and an unbalanced budget. Can someone out there tell me of one Republican administration that left this country with a balanced budget and a surplus after its governing? I can answer for you! NONE! Three Democrat administrations have done so..including Bill Clinton…what does that tell you about the Republican nonsensical economic policy of trickle down “voodoo economics? The Republican party has left our country’s economy in the cesspool and now is trying to blame president Obama who is trying to get us out! Can the Republicans just go away for 20 years!

Rush is drunk with his misguided illusion of self worth and oblivious to fact that his deceased power is irrelevant in this Post-Bush-Post-GOP Era. It’s more funny than sad when you realize the GOP has nothing better than this toothless dinosaur known as Rush Limbaugh who should be in prison for illegally obtaining/purchasing prescription drugs. Rush = Zero credibility, that is unless you’re just another Republican Dinosaur, then he’s a.o.k. ROFL!

I’ve heard Rush Limp***k come up with some really crazy claims. He loves to distort the truth. So if he can do it, then so can I………here goes……..“I, Mr. President, will send my jet, EIB One, to pick you up and bring you here and take you back to wherever you want to go.”
Rush only wants Obama to ride his jet so he can make it crash, covering up his killing of our President to look like an accident.
RUSH LIMBAUGH IS ATTEMPTING TO ASSASSINATE PRESIDENT OBAMA!!!!

Eric/PresGov- No I am not a angry leftest liberal. I just don’t like racist hipocrits which Rush Limbaugh is. Are you denying that he had/has a drug problem? Are you denying that he is grossly overweight? If you two are then you are and ignorant and in denial just as he is. He incites anomosity in our society and we don’t need that. Keep you eyes open there will be a cartoon soon in the news that shows exactly what porkulas looks like. Rush Libaugh is a bumbling idiot and you two help him pay for this jets, etc. which I guess means you are not taxpayers? Now I am LOL Eric!
Posted by: antiRush | March 5, 2009, 4:56 am 4:56 am
Open-Mind/PresGov/DM/Fiercely-Independent: After reading all of your postings I must say one thing. You are all bumbling idiots that distort the truth. I for one am glad that you have Rush, Boehner(head), Gingrich, Hannity, etc. Please keep them in your party and show them respect and love. That way you will continue to loose elections and I can assure you right now this minute that your party will loose again in 2012 and you will remember this posting. Limbaugh is a FAT over weight pig. So what if he owns a million dollar home which you help him buy. I own a half-million dollar home myself and I worked for it also. By the way Obama does on a million dollar home. You guys are calling people Obamabots, liberals,and all sorts of names but there is a simple name for people like you guys “fools”. Loosing the election brought you hatemongers out of the closet and you are still battling with the lose. Perhaps Rush will give you some of this oxycontin as I am sure he has more than enough. His back hurts because his fat a-z stomach is pulling his back in. LOL If he lost weight then his back would stop hurting…but then he would be porkulaz anymore would he? Rush will help the LIBERAL PARTY win another election in 2012. That you can bet on!

Posted by: Fiercely__Independent | March 5, 2009, 6:06 am 6:06 am
Fiercely-Independent: Ed Kennedy is half the size of Rush and anyway Mr. Kennedy is not out saying and has never said that he hopes any president fails, nor does he brag about what he has. Kennedy even pays his employees extra out of his own money in situations where there pay does not cover it. Rush would never do that. Rush makes money off poor follows like you that can’t think for themselves. I follow no one blindly democrat or republican. I don’t like anybody that catagorizes people democrat or republican. Rush Limbaugh once said and I heard him peronally that “they need to build more basketball courts in Atlanta to get those people off the streets at night”. I was serving then as a US soldier fighting for what our country believes in and could never support a FAT biggot like him. Nothing wrong with FAT people just FAT people that are public hippocrits. If he wasn’t speading lies nationaly/internationaly I could give a damn about what he does but I’ll be damn if I will stand by and let him bash our president just because he is black. I knew it was just a matter of time before he attached Steele. You can’t hide racism in you…eventually it comes out. Trust me I am 54 years of age and grew up in NC when I could not sit down an eat in a restuarant and eat. I know it first hand and can pick a racist out by his words and actions. I love all mankind but some of you just can’t get over your pilgrim mentality. By the way didn’t mean to offend you if you are indeed FAT!

Rush L is an opiniated A— that doesn’t even understand what is going on. HE IS NOT ALWAYS RIGHT. Plus he is a racist, listen to him.
To the one who said Bush had the highest rating of any presidents – what world are you in – his approval level was 37%.
Where is the support for our President? He is trying and it does take time. It took 8 years to get in this shape and 1 month cannot straighten it out. Let’s support our President and give him a chance. Bush got chances and look where we are.
i support Obama – he is our President.
All Limbaugh is is a loudmouth and he would be better off shutting his mouth.

Understanding Rush is hard to do without knowing his background. As a failure in the “World Championship Wrestling” circuit, he had to fall back on something. If I remember right,Henry Winkler made a movie which was a “spin off” of his wrestling career.
Posted by: ray sparks | March 5, 2009, 7:43 am 7:43 am
antiRush – I don’t know… Kennedy sure did everything in HIS power to ensure that the last Administration (and We the People) failed and HIS party could rise to the Presidency. HE succeeded, but he let us fail in the process. I guess it’s all in your perspective, huh?
As an INDEPENDENT, I see BOTH parties ignoring “We the People,” in favor of advancing THEIR political ideology.
But then, you’ve been on that Kool-Aid for quite a while, and you’re “all in” with this Administration, refusing to believe you might have been DUPED!!
You’ll come around eventually.
Posted by: Fiercely__Independent | March 5, 2009, 8:06 am 8:06 am
Come on people…..Limbaugh is only out for himself. He is feeding this storyline only to boost his show ratings and further his compensation.
He has to be the MOST self serving person currently in the media. With no college education, people flock to hear his words of wisdom that fall out from his prescription pill rants.
If this is the voice of the GOP and it’s new leader, then truly the republicans have literally left the building. You can’t keep hoping for a government to fail during these hard times and not expect a backlash from other Americans that are working hard to make this country succeed.
Any educated person knows Limbaugh is no literary powerhouse and can easily see through his tirades.

Fiercely_Independent: Whatever your’e smoking you need to put is down. You are dilusional if you think for one minute I would ever see things the way you do. You call yourself Independent but your words spew a GOP flavor. People like you are hating that for once a president is doing to the best of his ability what he said he was going to do before taking office. That is why his polls are higher than the previous presidents. You guys hate that your days of hidden corruption are over and numbered. You should have know it was coming but I guess you didn’t expect to see it in your lifetime. What you fail to realize is that the president is the leader of a team whose job is to listen to the American people and look out for their welfare. Something people like you fail to understand. You are all about you. Sit back and see how things should have been done a long time ago. The reason so many people like you are outspoken now is that you finally realize that things will never be the same. The American people spoke on 4 Nov 08 and still to this day some of you are reminising about the Mayflower. 6 months from now you will see a different and much better situation in the world than today and yes Obama will still be at the helm. I just hope that you and the rest of the GOP don’t try to pull your worn out tactic of trying to say that GWB policies are the reason things turned around for the better. Most of them have been reversed by the way. It is time that all people be treated with dignity, respect and fairness. If anyone comes around it will be YOU and I just hope that you are humble enough to admit you were wrong!

Please don’t change!!!!! You never supported Obama so stop spewing lies. If you voted for him you would still be supporting him because he is doing exactly what he said he would do during his campaign. So stop the BS and be a good little tipical Rep like the others on this blog. The 52% that whipped the GOP but on 4 Nov are happy that you guys have Rush.

Eric Cantor, R-Va.: “Now that the Obama Administration has declared their own distractions, diversions and manipulations strategy to be counterproductive, House Republicans would like to see this Administration join us in our bipartisan national conversation about job creation, stimulating small business and middle class tax relief. They should apologize to the American people for supporting these tactics and get back to work.”

Considering Rush makes 30 million $$$$ year, I don’t think he needed to complete college………………….and unlike Obama, Rush was able to get into college on his own merits—he didn’t need a saud royal bribing Harvard admissions and seeking letters to push him like Odummy.
Posted by: PresGov | March 5, 2009, 8:46 am 8:46 am
Rush is so much smarter than Odummy……Odummy was an idiot to lower the office of president to get into a pissing match with a radio talk show host. Of course, Rush is using this as a way to boost his rating. It’s working, so now Odummy has just handed Rush an even bigger audience and when Odummy again pushes to silence Rush or other critics, people will remember Odummy’s fascism if not just blantant stupidity and unpresidential behavior over this. Obama, you are a very stupid man.
Posted by: PresGov | March 5, 2009, 8:50 am 8:50 am
Mr. Rush:
You’re not a serious commentator; you’re entertainment, except to those who can’t distinguish comedy and tragedy from genuinely contributing political observation.
Some of your supporters make much of your audience — which, happily (if your supporters’ figures are to be believed), means something less than 6% of the population pays you any heed.
You astonish me. I voted for exactly 3 Democrats: the President, Vice-President, and my local constable, all of whom has served me well. I also voted for one independent at the state level after deciding both the Republican and Democrat weren’t what I was looking for. (The independent lost, of course.)
For every other single office, I voted Republican.
Had Senator McCain won and were I to have a national talk show, I sure as heck wouldn’t be blabbing “I hope he fails.” I *want* my Presidents to succeed in a way overall beneficial to the country. Of any political stripe or party.
You pay for your own jet? Good! I am happy to pay my part for Air Force One, and am for any President, despite the fact that my personal taxes, combining all levels, are just shy of 40% of my gross income. And I don’t even live in the U.S., have no children (no no burden on the schools), etc. etc. etc. *I don’t mind.* I would mind immensely were one penny of my money to go for one drop of your jet’s fuel or any other expense you personally incur as a private citizen. No one pays my bills, but I don’t go around bragging about it, either.
Debate you? I hope President Obama doesn’t deign even to acknowledge your challenge.

It is unfortunate that Gibbs addressed a drug addict on the national platform. He must not have realized that he was hooked by a professional baiter. The fact that Republican continue to support a pill popper like Rush gives real insight to their morals. Limbaugh has no true interest in this country, only the money he makes from behind his microphone. Why would he bring his yellow belly from behind his booth and go into a public office? Fear of failure! Which is why he is the insecure pill popper today. Of course the Republicans forgave him, remember his admission last week that he believes GOD want to be him?

Posted by: RushForPresident | March 5, 2009, 9:51 am 9:51 am
The sad truth is, there is very little that differentiates Rush from Obama… both depend on the media to feed them and nurture them.
Rush makes tens of millions of dollars a year, Obama makes $400,000/year.
Rush opens his mouth, and every last Democrat listens to every single word he says, and then they huddle as they develop the opposing party-line viewpoint. No one really listens to Obama, including the Democrats in Congress – save maybe for Pelosi, who clearly would drop her panties on a moment’s notice for him if he were to ask.
The FACT that this thread has gone on for as long as it has is proof enough that the Democrats are greatly worried about the effect that someone as inconsequential as Rush Limbaugh might have on the fragile majority they “enjoy” at the moment. After all, mid-term elections (certainly the campaigns) are just around the corner, and there’s a LOT of doubt as to whether any of the rhetoric that the Obama supporters were promised during the campaign will actually come to fruition.
In fact, Obama has reneged on almost EVERY campaign promise. Remember all the hype about transparency? Remember all they hype about cutting ear-marks? Remember all the hype about CHANGE (his cabinet looks more like Clinton II)? Has Obama yet to identify, much less eliminate, even ONE “ineffective” entitlement program in Washington?
Folks, we ALL need to be ready to storm the airports in exactly the same way the Thais did to regain control of their Government.

Angie/Kate/Global Fraud: No doubt who you voted for on 4 Nov 08…. a looser and now you support another looser. Obamas numbers may have fallen a little but they are still higher than Bush’s ever were so get of that will ya! Yes Obama said he experimented with cocain when he was younger and your question is what does that make him?….how about human! That’s the problem with some of you Rep you are quick to blame and point the fingers at others when your house isn’t clean. That’s the problem with Limbaugh. If Boehner was saying the things that Limbaugh is saying he would not be getting the flak that Limbaugh is because for one he is fit which shows he has dicipline, No history of drug abuse that publisized and how about a college education on top of that. Mayb Limbaugh bumped his head one time to many. Obama graduated with honors. Did Limbaugh graduate from anything other than wresting class. You Rep really need to listen to this fool and way he rants and raves about issues. He is an artist at watching the crowd and their reaction. He is the Jim Jones of the Republican Party but they are to blind to see it. Follow your leader to h—. You have the audacity to think that you are smarter than the majority that voted for Obama. Rush has been eating a little bit to much porkulas….that’s what is making his back hurt!

Obama is doing everything he said he would do to the best of his ability except the Rep are doing everything they can to block his promises so that he can look like a lier as they are and do when they take office. That is realy what is bothering you Rep is that you can’t stand the fact that their is finaly a person since Lincoln in office that is from the people and of the people. As far as mid-term elections you guys will loose more seats because soon Obama changes will start taking effect and things will start to get better. You Rep won’t have a leg to stand on. Trust me it will be more painful than the election. The Rep party will be asking for a political bailout and Porkulas man won’t be able to do anything about it. He will eventually become your enemy but by then it will be to late…. Sad thing is I don’t feel for you at all…none…zilch!….nada….

Fiercely_Independent-Ever thought about changing your blog name to “Free Radical” more befitting of your and your bird droppings. By the way have you watched any tv in the last hour? They are showing Rush jumping up and down causing earthquakes, building falling down, etc. Really funny, so I am not the only one that thinks he has been eating to much porkulas and when he spends money isn’t that called pork barrel spending? Rush is living high on the HOG and on YOUR money. Dems don’t listen to Rush, we turn the channel when that idiot comes on. A person can only take so much porkology… LOL

How innappropriate would that be – the President of the United States debating a radio talk show hack. What an amazing ego Limbaugh must have! He believes he’ll “own” this country; he must be buying in to his own hype. Unfortunately for Limbaugh, his obvious intelligence is completely overshadowed by his narcissistic, ego-centric overblown image of his own self-worth. His niche radical conservatism is of little value for anyone except the wealthy. How sad the the news media gives this hate-monger a platform. We could all truly do without his toxic partisan rhetoric and vicious personal attacks.

Todd/Pres-Gov; You guys get funnier by the minute. We liberals have to pay taxes which pays our president salary and the rest of the congress, senate, etc. You guys only have a problem with Obama because of one reason….ok…let’s say it all together now Rep…”because he is black”. Ok! do you feel better now. As I said we pay taxes because it is a law that we must pay them. Is it a law that you zombies give you money to Limgaugh to make him millionaire? That would make you stupid to give you money freely to a person who clearly spends much of that money on food and the rest on planes, etc. and their his. Obama doesn’t own anything is Washington. You didn’t have a problem with paying Bush’s salary when he was in office, oh but he was white wasn’t he? Not all Rep are racist just a lot of the ones on this blog. People like you didn’t think people of color were smart enough to quaterback in the NFL, play tennis or golf. Look at Moon, Tiger and the William sisters. Trust me Obama will go down as one of the greatest presidents in history and guess what?…it won’t be because he is black it will be because of what he is and will do why he is in office. That Rep are what you are mostly afraid of and everyone knows it. You don’t have to admit it because your words and actions speak for themselves. I love this time in my life when I get a chance to see all these miserable racist bursting with anger and denial because their pilgrimatic (new word…sort of like porkulas) way of life has ended. It been fun Rep but I got to run…

The extremist have stolen the Republican party. This deate is a nonsense. I also wish that people listen to Ron Paul, Ed Rollins, and other competent Republian. With the current Republican and approve rating of 7% (very favorable) or 25% favorable, one needs to listen to Ed Rollin: “Politics is a game of addition. We need to get serious and quit the silly debate about who’s the more important voice. The country only has two real political parties. We have tons of problems and obviously more than one way to solve them. It’s up to Republicans to become a vital party again. That means everybody’s got a job to do. “.

Bringing up Palin – this wasn’t about Palin. Also, if she’s so ethical, why is she paying back $7,000?? She blames the media for the lost of election, not that she is unaware of the laws or what is going on in this world.
Rush shoots off his mouth and doesn’t know what he’s talking about. He questions everything Obama does, shouldn’t he be questioned?
I think Limbaugh and palin supporters had better wake up. Listen to what they say.

Sorry, but I’ll be the FIRST to consider a viable THIRD party in this country… I can remember voting for Ross Perot in 1992, hoping THAT was the turning point in American politics. Instead, we ended up with that freakin’ moron, Bubba Clinton, as President… and the rest we all know.

It is just so funny to me how all of a sudden these “conservatives” and Republicans are now so concerned about spending and discipline when for the past 8 years they basically rubber-stamped everything for George W. Bush except his bowel movements!
Also, I seem to recall that not so long ago Rush Limbaugh was challenged by Campbell Brown on national TV to come on her show and debate her and he never showed up…so does that mean Rush is afraid to debate Campbell? From reading some of your remarks, I guess so! Go Campbell!

If Rush can win America it would prove my theory that America is largely made up of dumbasses.
Posted by: rwrsok | March 5, 2009, 2:39 pm 2:39 pm
Rush Limbaugh has an audience of between 13 and 20 million listeners – depending on what source you cite.
We’ll use the 20 million number (PLEASE NOTE, all these numbers are approximate or rounded off):
20 million is 9% of voting age Americans.
126 million of these actually voted in the last prez election, RL listeners account for 16% of that number.
It is safe to assume the majority of these listeners voted Republican – so the 20 million represent 34% of the Republican votes.
You cannot win an election with 9%, 16% or 34%.
You can win an election with 68 million out of 126 million which is 54%.
Even the Republicans don’t ALL listen to Rush or follow his narrow-idea ideology.
If the Republican party is to survive it needs REAL leaders and real ideas.
You can’t “JUST listen to Rush Limbaugh” and be effective.
The quotes are Barack Obama’s words. He never “called out” Limbaugh, he merely made an astute point regarding the effectiveness of considering multiple viewpoints in any discussion.
I do listen to Limbaugh occasionally because I want to form my own opinions and like to hear many viewpoints.
So, I am one of those 20 million — one who does not agree with Mr. Limbaugh’s opinion.
God bless America.

Lets not forget Rush is going to make more money with Obama as President than if a Republican were in office. Expect Rush to yell loudly to increase his listening audience. The worse the recession gets the more money Rush will make. Obama failure = richer Rush. So lets all just sucker along with him. Dumbasses!
Posted by: rwrsok | March 5, 2009, 3:04 pm 3:04 pm
There is a concerted effort from Dem strategists to paint Rush as the de facto leader of the GOP. The president wants to “reach across the aisle in the spirit of bipartisanship” and engage the other side in discussions. Doesnt the sum of those 2 realities lead to the proposition that Mr. Obama should be tripping over himself to take up Mr. Limbaugh’s offer ?

To all of you supporting Rush, you sound like a bunch of idiots. President Obama has nothing to prove to Rush. He only speaks for and represents you. And you are a bunch of peons… If Rush wanted to debate him then he should have ran on the Republican ticket instead of McCain. The American people have spoken and voted for who they wanted to see in office… The benefits that are now afforded to President Obama are the same that any other president has had. The fact that Rush would try to make that an issue is ridiculous. I didn’t hear all this squarking when the Republicans were in office. And if anyone else said that they hoped the president fails they would be called unpatriotic.

Obama started it. He couldn’t help himself….he’s a fascists and fascists can’t handle any speaking the truth and often resort to attacking any that speak out against them.

He has also been offered many many times to debate with Sean Hannity and I believe also Laura Inghram ,if I”m not mistaken,,however ,we’ve yet to see him have the courage to take any of them on,,I mean if one will be honest?,,Rush,,Laura and Sean know 100 times more about Politics than obama does,,and he knows’ they would make a complete fool of him,,and this along with him not being able to use this notorious Teleprompter ,,he does not have the courage to take any of them on because he’s not about to let someone make him look like a total incompetent on National tv or Radio!,,

Yes, I pay attention to what I write. If go back and read what I stated earlier “Rush said that we need to build basketball courts in Atlanta so we can get those people off the street at night”. That knuklehead is a racist remark. I did not read it, I heard him say it out of this FAT mouth when I was serving in the military in Bosnia. That being said you need to read and try and comprehend before you open mouth and insert foot again. Rush is a recist, That is the main reason I hate him. Many Rep are fine, honest and decent people but his is certainly not one of them and neither are you.

PresGov/Fiercely_Independent- You are as delusional as they come. Fiercely I don’t need anyone to bring up race…I am a grown a-s man an can bring anything up that I want to. That’s why I served 24 years in the military to protect that right as an American. I am glad your party has Rush, Hannity, O’Reilly, Rove, Gindrich, Boehner, Cavuto, David Duke, etc. because as long as your party has those people as your mascots you will never pilot the USS America again. America has awaken and realized the old ways are devisive and change was needed. Your party has to stoop to electing a black man as your CRNC in hopes that it would help. You will do anything to get ahead. It won’t help you either. American can see through that to. Die your slow miserable death.

Do we really need these expenses? We all know that pigs stink. I see no reason at all to spend millions of dollars to study the smell! That is silly and complete waste of our money! I also don’t understand why on earth we need to spend millions of dollars to study grapes! This money would be much better spent upgrading our roads and our electrical grid! I can see exactly why some of our republican senators and representatives are fighting this package! There’s too much pork in it! We can’t afford it!

For the last time! The POTUS shoud for no reason subject himself or bring himself down to the level of the “Porkulas Rushasaurus”. Why shoud he? Rush does not hold a political office. Why is that if he is so smart? Why doesn’t he run for office? I will tell you why, because then he could not run his FAT mouth off publicly and have all you loosers pour you money into his bank account to buy him a new jet, million dollar home, etc. He has you zombies right where he wants you and you are to blind to see it. He is smart enough to know that some fools will follow you off a cliff if you scream it often and loud enough. He is the Don King of the Rep Party and his gimmic is keeping the loosers hyped up. The POTUS does not owe Rush “Pill Popping” Limbaugh anything. Rush needs to go talk to his own peers “that would be other radio personalities”. He is way out of his lane. The fools that follow Rush are no different than those that followed the 50 billion dollar ponzi scheme culprit. The GOP will get their stuff together one day but it won’t have the ideology of Rush Limbaugh because it will never work. He is a FAT Pilgrim.

antiRush: The POTUS as you called him might not owe Rush Limbaugh anything but if he isn’t afraid to face him why not debate him or at least be a guest on Rush’s radio show? I can tell you why he won’t! He knows that Rush isn’t afraid to attack him on the issues! He also knows that Rush won’t hold back on telling him how his plans won’t work! Obama doesn’t like to face opposition and he hasn’t had to face much of it yet. So far he’s had everything going his way and everyone in congress has voted his way. He’s getting like a spoiled child. He’s used to getting his way. He knows the Rush isn’t afraid of him and will stand against him and oppose him. It’s time he heard the word NO!
And about your comments about Rush’s weight. Yes, he does have a weight problem but how would you like it if people started calling Barack Obama a skinny beanpole? Or how about a broom with a mouth? You don’t like that so well do you? Well the insults can be thrown both ways! If you like for your guy Obama to be insulted then you shouldn’t insult others!

DM are your DeMented? Obviously you don’t understand the office of the President. Mr. Obama is the president of the United States and does and should not lower himself to the level of a radio disjockey. Good grief where do you live in an outhouse or something? As far as Obama not having any challenges…where the hell were you during his campaign? He faced all kinds of opposition to include his SOS who he blew away also. An now she is carrying out his policies. Obama is not a skinny man. He is in shape and physicaly fit. Obviously you are a FAT a-s or I would have touched that nerve. Being Fat shows you have no dicipline. How do I know. If you eat nothing you gain nothing. If you eat an don’t burn calories you gain weight. Exercise takes dicipline. I was a personal trainer in the military so I know these things. You can call Obama what you wish but put him and Rush in front of women and see which one they choose. He is a looser so just accept it! Now you can go back outside and finish skinning that rabbit!

Nothing insulting about that…it’s the truth and like J.N. said “You can’t handle the truth” Obama has been called every name under the sun and your GOP favorite is “The Great Messiah”. No one should use God’s name in vain like that. It is dispicable but I should expect nothing less from your party. How does it feel to know your party’s days are numbered and your kind (Racist Rep) are becoming extinct? Republicans will never regain their numbers until they expel people like Rush, you and all the others I have mentioned in my earlier blogs. If someone could teach you to look beyond your noses you might end up being a decent human being one day but that’s asking to much.

Posted by: antiRush | March 6, 2009, 9:30 am 9:30 am
All, just to set the record straight. I am black and I don’t consider myself dem or rep but what I don’t like is racist people either black, white, asian, hispanic or other. That’s why I only respond to those who clearly show they are racist. I don’t like Al Sharpton or Jesse Jackson either. We need to all just get along and things would be better. I am 54 years of age and grew up experiencing racism first hand which is why it really get under my skin. There are many rep on this blog that voice their opinions intelligently without racists comments and still get their points across. I applaud those that express themselves intelligently but if anyone thinks that you can hide your racism you couldn’t be more wrong. My best friend in the whole world is a blonde blue eyed water melon chiken eating guy from Goeogia and I would give my life for him. All that brings me to this point. Rush Limbaugh incites hatred and division among people and anyone who thinks like him in my opinion is unamerican. I was stationed in Bosnia back in 95 and listening to his radio talk show because is was on in the location that I was serving and he made the following statement “We need to build more baskerball courts in Atlanta to get those people off the streets”. Just who are those people? We all know what he was saying. How could I began to support anybody who makes statments like that. Say what want but in my opinion he is a piece of “Porkulas Crap”

Global Fraud-you might want to try a compreshensive reading class. What I said and go back and read it was that if Rush Limbaugh was out spewing hatred and lies I could care less about what he did. That being said he is doing just that which is one of the problems I have with him. Secondly, and I can’t believe you are that ignorant. Racism has nothing to do with being FAT! Unlike you I don’t dislike anyone because of their color or creed. If Obama wasn’t multiracial he would not be getting 75% of the negative name calling he is getting now. I’ll bet you have a picture of the cops killing the monkey hanging on your desk at work if you even have a job. Don’t get racism and discrimmination confused. Racism has to due with color or creed dumb a-s. There is no doubt in my mind now that you are FAT or this wouldn’t be such a touchy subject with you. Try tying a turnaquit around your neck. I have heard that you can loose weight that way.

Rush Limbaugh, Fox News, and some Republicans are trying to drag Obama down to the George W. Bush level of failure.

It really all boils down to the fact that Rush (and his ilk) just can’t stand to see a black man in such a position of authority. Look what he did to Michael Steele, and they’re supposed to be on the same team. People like Rush will never admit that there is a black man smart enough to be in the position of authority that the President holds. After all, Rush, your past statements and innuendos about blacks speak for themselves. You’re way too old to change your spots.
The only thing on your mind is trying your best by word or deed to embarass Obama. You really don’t realize just how pathetic you are. As the numbers of minorities increase, you will become more and more irrelevant. Enjoy the limelight while you can. Obama’s not going to disappear just because you wish he would.

You GUESSED WRONG – you own yourself and apparently a dedicated group of pushy followers. you haven’t and never will represent all republicans.
There are a large number of people who listen to you along with Howard Stern and other similarly obnoxious people for the amusement and shock value. You need to get over yourself and realize the MAJORITY of americans see you as nothing more than another foul mouthed entertainer playing to the lowest common denominator.

Rush the obnoxious is as always amazingly proud of himeself. He can rail all he wants – we have ourself a president that a large majority prefer, trust and have faith in.
I sit back and chuckle and remember the republicans saying all sorts of vile things about people who dared to criticize George Bush – about how unamerican and unpatriotic it was. So fair warning Republicans – you are being smeared heavily with HYPOCRISY by this guy who claims he represents the REPUBLICAN PARTY. You will be doomed to become the party of small causes.

Rush is right. Liberals are wrong. The democrats have elected the wrong person to lead this country.

The republicans were not responsible for bringing a radio talk show host into the White House and in the mist of America’s crisis. The man gave a speech at a gathering and nothing more, he dose it for a living I believe, the rest was manufactured by the media and Obama himself to distract. Lets stop the denial about these games and ask ourselves why we focus on a radio talk show host at this time or why Mr Obama would wish us too. Lets focus on Palin’s shoes and wardrobe for awhile shall we? while millions of Americans look to this new President to reach above the National Enquire type distractions

Maybe President Obama can hold a seminar on RUSH, gathering hundreds of America’s brightest minds then send his “people” into the groups to gather important data on the subject he seems to be so concerned about at this time. Professor Obama might then convince those hearing all of this ego derived chatter about a radio talk show host that this too is a crisis in America

First they say goverment is to big, but fail to notice that it got that way under a republican, then they say goverment can not be trusted, but they are in goverment. And now they have Rush as thier GOP leader, with no ideal of how to fix this mess the Bush Admin got us into. Maybe if they could have come up with a strategy and had a platform other then hate, things might have been different. People want to see ideals to fix things, they want details and facts, but all we got from the McCain camp was hate. At this time, with this economy in the tank and job losses at an all time high, and the big ECO’s screwing the investors out of billions all the while building thier our bank accounts not going to jail for fraud we question you. When we find out the person in charge of over looking the finance companies for the goverment before the meltdown knowing let some finance companies cook the books, and he is still walking around free. If any other private sector person did any of this they would be in jail.

Global-Fraud if you can run with the big dogs then get off the porch. It’s ok for Rush to go on public radio and make fun of and mock the POTUS but when someone makes a comment about Rush being a FAT, pill popping idiot then some of you Rep get your panties in a wad. That ok though I expect nothing less from you scumbags! Dem and Independents there is no use in trying to educate come of these Rush zombies as they are to far gone to turn around. Their own party will soon discard them just as they will the last meal they ate. Why don’t we blow this chicken coup and let these moorons keep trying to convince themselves that they are right even though for 8 years now they have proven otherwise. They are in pain so let’s leave them alone for a while to suffer in misery. Global-Fraud I believe Rush just finished using the John so you can go and wipe now…. Later looser. You are probably stupid enough to post a reply even though I won’t be back to read it! That’s exactly what I expect from you and nothing less.

antiRush: Just in case you think that you told me off and that I don’t have an answer for you, you are wrong! I did answer you but my answer supposedly set off some kind of spam control on this blog and is being held for review by the author of this blog. There was no spam and certainly no racist remarks in my answer and no foul language! There was no reason whatsoever to hold my comments for review. All I did was speak against their media darling Barack Obama. This is censorship and an infringement on my right of freedom of speech. However, that said, you will have my responce to you if and when the author deems that my comments are not spam and decides to publish them here.
