Obama vs. Limbaugh
The war of words between President Obama and radio host Rush Limbaugh is one of those symbiotic events in politics: It is helping both sides fire up their partisans.
Earlier this month, Limbaugh admonished Republicans and conservatives wishing the new president well. "I hope he fails," he told listeners on his highly popular radio show.
On Friday, Obama reportedly told House Republicans as he lobbied for his stimulus plan, "You can't just listen to Rush Limbaugh and get things done."
Limbaugh shot back Monday , saying he believes the president "wants me to fail. He's more frightened of me than he is of [House GOP leader] John Boehner, which doesn't say much for our party."
The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee quickly responded with an online petition. "Jobs, health care, our place in the world -- the stakes for our nation are high and every American needs President Obama to succeed," the petition says. "Stand strong against Rush Limbaugh's Attacks -- sign our petition, telling Rush what you think of his attacks on President Obama."
But, it turned out that House Republicans -- and their constituents -- might have listened more to Limbaugh than Obama. Not a single Republican voted for the stimulus bill on Wednesday.
Today, Americans United for Change, a coalition of liberal and labor groups backing Obama and his economic recovery package launched a radio ad campaign targeting Republican Senators John Ensign of Nevada, George Voinovich of Ohio, and Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania, calling on them to reject Limbaugh.
The 60-second spots, entitled “Rush to Failure,” are "designed to put Republican Senators on notice: the public expects them to represent their interests not the interests of Rush Limbaugh. In November, voters made clear they want change in the way Washington works and a new direction for our economy – not the failed policies of the past or the divisive politics of Rush Limbaugh," the group said.

Wow. Another brilliant comment from another brilliant liberal. L
Look on the inside of things and you will see Ovoma and the crew cant stand to be questioned. Stim package is a Spend package if you can read and has alot of payback for the Demo's and little real effort for the mases. The ones Obama needs to watch is M.Pol, Reed, Dunn, and the real looser Frank. Their are others but these are the most dangerious.
Rush's brain is still mushy from all those pills he received while doctor shopping for drugs. If he were in another judicial district he would still be serving his prison term.
Obama----news to you , your already a failure and a big fat lying socialist idiot!
RUSH IS RIGHT!!!!!
The globe will only post left wing liberal comments!!!!!
Rush's inflammatory bile is jut more of the same. What is truly astounding is that the press and the American public lends any credence at all to him and Coulter. Their brand of far -right- self -promoting -hate- mongering isnt in the interest of moving the nation forward. Yet, unbeleivably, these two consider themselves "Real Americans". If they were the patriots they purport to be they would try to unify the listening public towards a common goal of fixing our problems instead of capitalizing on the problems that exist. Guess Rush would have to weigh 120 lbs before that happened...
It appears that poor Rush is sending out his maids to buy drugs for him again . . . . What a hypocrite.
Must a hit a sore spot, name calling already.
America needs less taxes, less government and less complaining that it's not fair.
Get up off the couch, jet a job and make a difference in your life and the USA we used to be proud of.
This is a stupid article. Like members of Congress actually listen to radio personalities and allow them to shape their opinions. Rush L. doesn't get them elected. Americans United for Change is wasting money!
Would suggest that those who would choose to constrain freedom of expression should reread the Constitution and its ammendments.
The more you attempt to shut up the Loyal Opposition, the more we will exercise our freedom to speak up when we observe policies that we do not agree.
What is wrong with that, in your opinion?
When we observe deliberate misrepresentation of the facts we will call you on that being misrepresented. Why must you be so intolerant of those with differing opinions?
And a druggie and 3 times divorcee. Sanctity of marriage?
If Limburger was a true patriot, it would not matter where the answer cme from, so long as there was an answer.
Wishing a president to fail is like hoping that the bus driver will crash.
Remembermadison, sounds like you dont have an facts to back up that statement. I could tell you why every single Obama policy is either a lie or will fail, what can you tell me? Whatever the media tells you, and that is all.
What amazes me is the fact that anyone who disagrees with what the president is doing is immediately labeled and written off. I love the fact that the the left chooses to attack individuals like Rush, instead of keeping an open mind and refining its plans based on other view points. Way to be open minded...
How does millions of dollars being spent on pet projects serve the public interests. If you want everyone to line up and vote for a spending bill to stablize the economy, maybe the stimulus bill should be about creating jobs, providing loans, and shoring up the banks. We don't need the government spending billions of dollars we don't have on pet projects. What we need is a panel to look at whether the items of the spending bill will have an immediate or long term positive growth impact on the economy. If it doesn't provide positive stimulus to the economy, it shouldn't be included in the bill. Jefferson was right, a government that spends money it doesn't have is not of the people.
...the regrettable thing is that many gullible, closed minded people listen to him-- and sadly, closed minds rarely come with closed mouths.
If a fat loudmouth once postulated that drug addicts should be in prison, why is this fat drug addict still on the street, much less the airwaves?
Rush Limbaugh is a devisive force for evil as their is in the world today. He scares folks into falling his ideology, although he is seldom every right about anything. I truly. I consider myself an Independant, (voted for Bush twice, and then for Obama) so not just the rants of someone who is far on the left. I wish more moderate folks in this country would be outraged at his antics, but that would mean people would actually listen to his show, and the fact is only crazy far right wingers do that.
Ideology before problem solving...sounds Republican to me. it strikes me that the Republican House and Limbaugh are trying to hold the country hostage (a terrorist act if there ever was one) to a failed ideology that has led to exactly the situation we all face.
One is for hope and the other is just hate. Terribly unfortunate.
Listen to the WHOLE comment from Rush, not just selective bits......I believe he talks specifically of his Ideals and political philosophy in which Rush wants to fail.
For President Obama to fail would mean that the United States would fail. Is that what he wants? If ever Mr. Limbaugh had an original idea, that had some plan to save us, maybe Mr. Obama would listen to him. We either hang together or hang separately. Does Rush want this country to fail? Hope he makes enough money for his myopic vision. He'll need it if we all end up in bread lines or worse, some other country becomes the leader of the free world.
We are fighting for our very existence here. I have yet to hear Limbaugh give any advise or ideas. Only hatered and discontent. Perfect mixture for failure.
Rush babies Unite!!
To the degree some disagree with Rush, others disagree with Obama. Why don't the liberal TV broadcasters get the same treatment as Rush? (oh yeah, no one watches those stations anymore). Media jealousy, I think.
I hope Obama's policies fail because they are taking us down an unrecoverable path. I hope the country succeeds despite Obama's massacre of democracy and free enterprise. I hope Rush stays alive long enough to fulfill his contract and continues to teach us from the institute of advanced conservative studies.
Oh, the audacity of hope!
I DON'T NEED FAT RUSH TO TELL ME OBAMA IS A WORTHLESS COMMIE
Is Rush still on drugs?
Obama appointing a tax evader into his cabinet as well as a terrorist forgiver. Obamas "transparent" administration which is NOT!! A pork stimulus bill full of.....well......pork. And a bipartisan congress which is........well.......NOT!! So far not so good. Were in deep shi?! Leave Rush alone. He at least tells it the way it is whether you want to believe it or not!!
"Rush --- news to you, YOUR already are a failure. And you are also a big fat idiot." (emphasis mine).
Is this supposed to be irony? Remembermadison, I encourage you to read Obama's "stimulus" bill, debate the merits, and then start calling people names.
Plaese quit spreading the lie and print the entire Limbaugh quote. People like you are bear a greater responsibility for the divide in America than Rush.
Yeah, he should treat Obama at least as nice as the liberals treated Bush.
Maybe the problem is that Rush actually stands for correct principles and the liberals do not. Thus, they have no other choice but to resort to personal attacks in an attempt to obfuscate the issues. Rush has a right to his freedom of speech. Deal with it. It's interesting how CNN, this newspaper, and other left leaning "news" organizations have not mentioned how the DCCC "petition" has been slammed by Rush supporters. I think the Democrats are on notice as well. On balance, the latest polls indicated the American public is against the "bailout" measure. And, that is without Rush LImbaugh telling any of them what to think.
Rush is the voice of Republicans? This man was found wraped around his toilet in a puddle of his own puke from abusing pills! This is the poster child of the GOP? Good luck with that one guys. Anyway, why are people giving this guy any bother? Ignore him and move on to the business of the country!
Hey at least he tells us what he REALLY thinks and doesn't feed us a pack of lies.
Limbaugh is responsible for nothing except ratings. Therefore he does not have to think nor act responsibly. Obama, on the other hand is responsible for running the ship of state as president and commander in chief, acting in what he believes are the best intrests of americans, whether we agree with him or not. Limbaugh is acting in the best interests of Limbaugh. Unfortunately freedom of speech has a downside. Like most bullies, Limbaugh is a coward who is sure he will never be held to account. He is a misquito.
To pay no attention to Rush's rantings or attempt to censure him would be a mistake. He is an American citizen with 1st Amendment rights and his views reflect those of a small segment of the American political spectrum. And who knows...even a monkey with a typewriter might eventually compose something Shakespearean.
I think, though, that to say his statements have caused the unanimity among House Republicans is a serious misreading of the situation. That accolade should be given to Nancy Pelosi and her fellows. They, too, represent only a very small portion of the electorate but their insistance on including a bevy of non-stimulative spending programs in the House version of the stimulus package literally forced any clear thinking member to vote against it. The sad thing is that more Democrat members didn't fall into that category and vote with the Republicans.
I hope that moderate Senators from both parties will, as President Obama has said, "strengthen the package" by eliminating those items that can't be viewed as stimulative and insist that they be debated in another bill. If they do, they can reject the ideological radicalism of both the Limbaughs and the Pelosis and send the President a stimulus bill he can sign.
If they don't, I hope President Obama has the political courage to vetoe the bill. We can no longer afford to allow our democratic processes to be dominated by fringe elements. There are good ideas on both sides of the philosophical argument between liberals and conservatives but the real wisdom lies in the middle. That is where we can find consensus and that is where we can bury the shameful politics of the past and move forward with unanimity of purpose.
Rush is advocating his position using race and gay sex act imagery as he makes his arguments. Obama is encouraging people with actual power not to go down to that level and to do what he beilieves is the countrys best interest.
So far Rush seems to be winning which speaks volumes about these representatives
It's a shame that Russ is such a poor loser. He is acting like the
othef the Republican cry babbies who can not handle losing the
election. It took them 8 years to get us in the mess we are in and
now they think they have a better answer than Obama.
Give me a break and give the man the people wanted a break.

More power to you Rush - you are the voice of those who are not the "Obama Kool-Aid drinkers". Why should Americans support an unqualified, socialist, dangerous person? Obama was elected by Acorn and the liberal, left-wing media, by George Soros, and the filth-spewing Hollywood Elite.
"Rush --- news to you, YOUR already are a failure. And you are also a big fat idiot." (emphasis mine).

Rush a Failure? Is 50 Million a year failing? Money isn't everything, but it is a good indicator of an opinion in high-demand.
As for being an idiot, I don't even know what to say to that. "...your already are a failure." That pretty much sums up the argument I would have made against you.
Rush is nothing but a loud, big mouthed, wind bag with nothing to offer except commentary designed to cause strife and friction. Go to Alaska and move in with Palin you bum. The American people don't like you as you represent the worst in American politics. The absolute worst.
Just goes to show who's really in control of the Republican party, Rove, Limbaugh, and their ilk.
What a bunch of smoke & mirrorsby the Democrats to hide the public from the real issue "the pork laden" FAUX stimulus package. Wake up America you are being scamed!

I have stopped listening to Rush because of his raises remarks, along with his gross remarks, and his failure comments. (I hope he "Obama" fail's) I do not want my family and friends to think that I support such nonsense!
Comedian Rush unlike most Americans does not have to worry about his next pay-check, and it's shows more and more each and every day during his broadcast.
If this guy is the "leader" of the Republican party then I will no longer support this nonsense also! What does It say when this comedian is all we have as a leader of the party? I can answer my own question, by stop listening to Rush, and switching over to the Demacrates who care more about moving America forward.
Maybe Rush would have some credibility if he had stood up against spending 10billion a month in Iraq. Hasn't done the US any good, in fact we're practically bankrupt because of it. He allowed George Bush to run roughshod over the constitution and never uttered a peep in resistance. So in a nutshell Rush is only for whatever Republicans want and against anything Democrats want. I ask you, how is that good for America?
Rush draws 22m listeners per week, right 98% of the time. Currently Obama Bullshitting re econ numbers, see Drudge.

Let's try remembering that Mr . Limbaugh is somewhat of a comedian and is not somebody to be taken seriously. No one in the political arena should even consider his words to be truth! Also, doesnt elrushbo still have a prescription drug problem? Come on people lets find a better role model to listen to.
As long as they listen to Rush, they will continue to lose elections, and our government will be run by more effective, discerning leaders. So I'm rooting for Rush. It's not that he doesn't get it--he does--millions and millions of dollars. The Republicans lose, Limbaugh gets richer. So, let him continue to speak. I like the electoral results.
Rush is nothing but a loud, big mouthed, wind bag with nothing to offer except commentary designed to cause strife and friction. Go to Alaska and move in with Palin you bum. The American people don't like you as you represent the worst in American politics. The absolute worst.
Rush Limbaugh is the talking dog of RNC... His opinions don't count..and should be rightfully ignored.... The ountry voted for change and whether the republican and RL like it or not..it's going to happen..
It's really embarrassing that a talk show host ( worth millions of dollars)
Can make such a wish to our new president."I HOPE HE FAILS"
That shows what a person he is.
Rush couldn't advise the past president. or rally GOP leaders.
That his listeners are crying out to be listened.
Well you always start by you're self.
Rush with his prescription drug.-- A very good ambassador to his listener .
Rush failed with 3 lovely wife's --A very good row-model.
There's a saying; A donkey doesn't hit twice at the same idiot wall .
HE STILL DOES NOT CONSIDERED HIM SELF A FAILURE. --GENIUS--
I hope Obama fails miserably.. I don't like liberals and don't want him as my president.
I agree with Rush on about 90% of his pontifications.
The DCCC is a joke and their idiotic petition failed miserably! Have you even looked at the comments? The majority is in favor of FREE SPEECH and Rush Limbaugh!
When will Liberals quit being cry babies? For Pete's sake.. you are not victims!! Here's a couple concepts.. how about being self-reliant??!! What about capitalism? Free Market? Remember those??
Here's to 2010 and 2012... so we can fix what you muck up! Oy vey!

The Republicans need a leader to continue their pursuit to reduce taxes until there is no government. The United States is in a recession. A strong, arrogant, self centered leader, like Rush Limball is needed to enhance the recession, and upgrade it to a full Republican-Bush Depression.
I used to listen to Rush in the '80's. Back then, the songs about Slick Willy were rather humorous.
But, because of scumbags like Rush, I, along with both of my children, left the Republican party behind and voted wholeheartedly for Obama. We're happy we did!
Unfortunately, we have had a "falling out" of sorts with my brother and family, who adore Rush. I blame Rush Limbaugh for dividing my family.
I think Rush should be silenced! If he's divided my family, I know he is dividing our country. I agree with the writer who called him a high paid prostitute!!!!!!!
LOL @ #19 comment. Mary.. there lies your problem right there. You are listing to Keith Obermann??!! You know, there is a reason why MSNBC is failing and it's ratings are sooooooo low. Think about it.
You agree with the Stimulus package, I think you should sign up for it and put your social security number down and you can pay for it.
Just like Gitmo, it was an urgent matter and now look.
Stimuls package, its urgent....yeah...wait until 2 years down the line when your taxes go from 35% to 50%. then what are you going to say.
Rush, I listen to you last week trying to tap dance about the comment you made concerning the failure of Obama. You were saying how the media took your words out of context. I said to myself if this ain't the pot calling the kettle black. You do the same thing to other especially Pres Obama. Stop crying and man up. If you feel you can run the country better then you should run for office. The same listener you try to discourage are the same people Pres Obama is trying to help.
I understand the need for Freedom of Speech, as i'm sure you all do as well. So this is my opportunity to both commend and condemn Rush. First, as an American Rush (like all of us U.S. citizens- but not the illegal aliens) is entitled to any view or opinion that goes between his ears, and furthermore he has a right to express those beliefs. So I am glad he is showing Americans that he is - at the VERY least - involved.
Not condemn the stupid prick! How can ANY red blooded American citizen say the only way for America to SUCCEED is for the president to fail??? And you should all be very clear on your idea of failure. In my mind if Obama fails America fails. So what the hell do you Rush-bots mean by failure???
You are all being to general about this topic. WE - that's all of us citizens - ARE the UNITED States of America, and it sounds to me like you all are traitors to the common good. If you believe Obama is going against the common good then come up with a solution. Rush is a tool, they are all tools, and so are we. especially you! American's MUST stand united even in the face of what you moron's are calling a "socialist dictator like Obama"
Anyone who says the president should fail has the right to do so, but you should all realize that you are using the bill of rights to divide America, not make us stronger.
Limbaugh's show is one of the very few that go even one millimeter into the issues. The mainstream media has shamed themselves to the point of irrelevancy, though their soundbites still influence the illiterate masses.
The level of discourse on conservative talk radio, and conservative media (e.g., National Review) is far above that found in these blogs, and in the MSM. I don't know how liberals co-opted the idea that they are the "intellectuals" - it is the conservatives who truly view the issues in an up front and serious manner.
The
Wow... what a bunch of babies post here: "Waaa Waaa I can't stand that Rush wants the Messiah to fail.... waaaa'
Why don't you babies move to Europe and wallow in their socialist malaise and let the grown ups run the country.
Why are we so worried and concerned about a pill popping fool like Rush Little Balls. The only thing he run is his mouth. Come on people we need to get behind the Leader of our country and push for the betterment of the country. Tell mr. little balls it's time to be supportive. I thought when we elect a president, he is for the people. His party affiliation should matter, if he is leading from his heart for the people. I know that radio is rush life and he do have listeners that follow him strongly. But him and them need to a little more supportive and realize that you can only build a foundation from the ground up. God Bless.
These radio personalities always think they have so much power; it's pretty hilarious how deluded they become in their little recording rooms. I remember when Stern was convinced that he had the power to get John Kerry elected. Where do these guys get off?
Limbaugh for President! I also hope that Obama fails as his agenda will bring unreversible damage to this country if he is able to implement it. I am also happy to see no Republicans voted for the Obama welfare package.
Someone put RUSH out of his miseries already.
In response to the #87 comment..
Why be so concerned for a man that drives drunk, wrecks his car into a lake with lady passenger, leaves her for dead, doesn't report the "accident" until 10 hours later (just enough time to sober up) and escapes justice because of the family name. Have you guessed yet whom is the guilty party?? Times up! The guilty party is ... Ted Kennedy!
Yep.. Rush HAD a problem. He's over it. Might I suggest you get over it too and quit pointing fingers. You know what they say.. One finger pointing out, usually means, 3 back in at yourself. (The thumb is null and void)
Regardless of your party affiliation.. People need to wake up!! Obama via Nancy Pelosi (Speaker of the House with major dollar signs in her eyes) is talking about SPENDING (aka stimulus) a lot of our money, a lot of your children's money, and a lot of your grand-children's money! Somebody has got to say NO. THAT IS ENOUGH! NO MORE! Whether you like him or not.. Rush is looking out for YOUR best interest!
I'm thinking and hoping that the honeymoon and kool-aid drinking for Obama and his Obots is over! It's going to be a hard 4 years. Tighten your seatbelts folks.. we are in for a very bumpy ride.
Limbaugh really needs to just go away. He is everything that is wrong with the republican party. I could follow the conservative political bent, except for the religious right, the drug addict hypocrites like Rush Limbaugh and narrow minded fools.
It is time to get back the republican party from the fools who now dominate it. You keep up with what you are doing you will fail. You have lost the trust of the nation and it will take a long time to get it back.
T
Oh by the way, the way to get out of this mess is to spend and tax cut, not just tax cuts, fools.
Rush very clearly stated that if Obama's goal is what Obama has said it is, then he wants Obama to fail. Obama may have sounded Reaganesque in this week's press conference accompanied by a couple of CEO's ("the success of America depends on American businesses and the people who work in them"), but this runs counter to a couple of realities: (1) He stated 21 days earlier that "government is the answer to our problems. The free market couldn't be counted on", and (2) his stimulus plan is in sync with his earlier statement.
obama is already bungling everything. first of all, get off the tv all the time. ok, cool, you're a new president, probably feels cool to be so powerful but you dont need to be on tv every day. secondly, he has given all his power on the "stimulus" bill to pelosi. he gave the republicans power by claiming he wanted bipartisanship yet he has no power over the bill so now the republicans are testing his mettle. you want bipartisanship? show me the money, give me something in the bill or pass it without us. rookie mistake by obama. it's a horrible bill and he probably knows it and now he cant do anything about it. good for the republicans and thank you to rush
Rush is the man!
Rush is the man!
Someone put Rush out of OUR miseries. He and his ilk (Sean, BillO, and the rest) are just as much a cancer in the bowels of humanity as Bin Laden. They deal in hate and fear... time to move past that.
The pigman is the real enemy of America.... can't you see!
Lie,cheat,give handouts,deviate from from the principles,control,dictate etc.. Can you guess who I just described? Obama and his liberal crooks! He is making every attempt to bring socialism to this country along with his nut job side kick Nancy Pelosi. Little by little our freedom is being taken away and their using the mask of "it's all about change for the country". That's BS!! Is that what you Obama supporters want? You won't even be able to take a crap without Obama knowing it. One founding father stated " if this government ever takes the form of a dictatorship the people must bear arms and reclaim the foundation. I'm sorry to say I believe that day may come soon. Go Rush!!
Go Rush! Put these socialists in their place!
It's basically a debate over neo-Keynesianism. Both men know where the bread is buttered. Obama obviously takes Rush seriously if he is responding to him, and good for Obama. Rush knows that for Obama's plan to work, Obama needs the maximum number of people to sign on. My opinion is that the US must now cash all the checks that it's been writing for decades with short-sighted economic policies - having nothing to do with capitalism, because really they were rather theft - and that some level of state intervention is necessary, though I may be loath to admit it.
A central question for Obama is how to introduce this intervention with minimal stifling of the private sector...

"Stern thinking he had power to get Kerry elected" Its not who has the power its who you elect. If Stern had elected Rush or Hannity, Stern would have had the power. As Democrats are loosing the power by having elected Obama.
With this said and Obama been elected for failure, would Rush be willing to be nominated for president?
Rush, you have my vote!!!
EIB's leaning tower of broadcasting is now exposed for what it is. It leaves all that listen void of logic, void of intuitive thought and serapticiously adgitated by the spin. Speak out truth on the issues. Think for yourself. Read from many sources. Break free. Spinning issues with negativity backed by racism, amendment rights, property rights, gay bashing, and thin lies are his specialty. Rush borders on domestic terrorism using FCC licensed airways. He rails for failed USA policy using verbal subversion tactics that just rally listeners with puffery. Just as our nation has hit the bottom from 8 years of NEOCON deception, so goes the peak of Rush's reign. Good riddance, Rush has left the building.
What do you wish to be cruel or kind?
Rush has told us how to be cruel, Obama has told us how to be kind.
America who do you wish to be? You decide what you will teach to youre children.
I have no understanding of why all the people who live in West Virginia with their childrens small feet wrapped in rags would ever support them.
I lived in Wheeling West Virginia. All those coal miners dying in a town most of America would rather forget. All those miners and the people who lived here having no good water to drink. All those mountain tops demolished for what?
To keep clean coal a fantasy that most of America wishes to support.
During this crisis time we, the people of the United States, are encouraged to build one another up not to put one another down. We need to work side by side and contribute our values to the nation and the world. Everyday, when I wake up in the morning I ask God to help me and show me how to do my part to keep this country and the world moving forward. The president Obama needs time to implement his leadership philosophy. I didn’t vote for him, but now I fully support him because he is our President. He needs our love and encouragement not hate and discouragement. Together, I can build!
If Obamas intentions are to turn this country to socislims, then I hope he does fail. If his intentions are not to turn us to socialism , then I hope he succeeds. However, signing a petion to stop Limbaugh is stupid, This is a free speech country. at leat we are supposed to be. Limbaugh is entitled to his opinion. After all, how many people protested George Bush, or criticized his policies? Obama is not above criticism in our country.
I love it when the Republicans let a drug-addled chipmunk do their talking for them. He gives voice to and evidence of their ruination. My biggest fear is that he will eat himself to death.
Can any one name one good thing that Rush Limbaugh has ever done in his life? He is a waste of space.
Go Rush! Stand on the sidelines rooting for catastrophe for our country, and take your party into oblivion with you. We don't need the Republican party to have a two party system. You can fade away and be forgotten, and in eight years (maybe four, if you can run yourselves into irrelevance fast enough) a new party will coalesce around the strongest independent presidential candidate.
You should all be terrified of Rush. Think of what would happen if he slipped and fell on you! You'd be flat and covered in slime.
I stand with Mr.Limbaugh! Rush has the right to free speech, just like all Americans...If you don't want to hear him, switch channels. It's that easy! God bless Rush Limbaugh! He tells the truth as he sees it., and from his perspective It's up to each to believe how they will. But never try to silence our freedom! Good job Rush!
All that empty space inside Rush's skull ... his brain probably foreclosed on him and left some time ago.
Foon Rhee wrote "Earlier this month, Limbaugh admonished Republicans and conservatives wishing the new president well. "I hope he fails," he told listeners on his highly popular radio show."
Why must liberals distort virtually everything they discuss? Are you that insecure? Does politics always have to be a blood-sport or can we at least be honest for on day? Goodness.
I have heard the full quote of Mr. Limbaugh and it is nothing like you claim. You realize that someday Americans are going to figure out that Democrats distort virtually all news.. and there will be a backlash... and Democrats won't like it.
Whats wrong with socialism anywho? Is capitalism really the bees knees really??? I guess when your the one benefitting from a certain financial system you'll stand behind it no matter whats really better for society as a whole. The only thing i believe most people find difficult about anything other than capitalism is caring for someone else. Thats right ya old greedy bastards!
If tax cuts are the answer, then they would have worked already. Were it not for the housing bubble, our economy would have gone into recession a lot sooner. The tax cuts did nothing, except further bankrupt the government--leaving it less able to address a growing myriad of problems.
That's such a childish fantasy anyway, the notion that taxes should be abolished and that all we really need is for government to be small and "stay out of the way". Think about that the next time you need a cop, firefighter, clean water from your tap, passable roads, or trash pickup, among many other things.

I love the way people jump to the word 'socialism' without a clue as to what i really means. The term ' socialism' has been used to describe positions as far apart as anarchism, Soviet state communism, and social democracy; however, it necessarily implies an OPPOSITION TO THE UNTRAMMELED WORKINGS OF THE ECONOMIC MARKET.. The social parties that have arisen in most European countries from the lat 19th century have generally tended toward social democracy.
Let's get educated and be real, deregulation got us into this mess. Tax cuts are fascinating but don't do much if you don't have a job....it's not a perfect world. But how do people forget the trillions spent on the war that were mismanaged and kept off the books!?!
Rush would not have a job if he wasn't an instigator and rabble rouser, when you start placing importance on the rantings of a (former?) drug addict whose job is based on sensationalism ...hmmm, what does that say about you? Who wants America to fail?
Isn't this the guy addicted to oxycontin and vicodin. The one doctor shopping and getting arrested at the airport for possession of illegal perscriptions medications?

Rush is right. Socialist programs bring socialist opressive tax rates and ristrictive business atmosphere. Which is why so many jobs have left the country to begin with. If Osoma Oboma (Ted Kennedy pronounciation) had the economy answer why didn't he dividulge that infromation while just a loly senator and restore the state of ILLinois economy. The state of ILLinois economy was in the dumpster the whole time Mr. Obama was a Senator and long before the world economy took the dive. Obama brought to you by the same machine that gave us Rod Blagoiavich. One and the Same.
It is a sad day for the Republican Party when a Dr. shopping drug addict is their spokesperson. So so sad.
Oh get real, the leader of the free nation is going to sit down with a radio DJ to discuss anything. i think our pres has much better things to do, like feeding the new white house dog. Rush is a bit full of himself, rush isn't a news reporter, he's a DJ giving his opinion right or wrong, it’s an opinion
