Rush is ANGRY. He's lashing out at Obama and bringing up Rev. Wright

Looks like he's starting to feel this sting of losing all those advertisers.

By Peter Grier, Staff writer / March 7, 2012

Rush Limbaugh ripped into President Obama on Tuesday for Mr. Obama’s comments about the Sandra Fluke “slut” controversy. He called Obama a hypocrite for criticizing his harsh words about Ms. Fluke, saying the president gives a free pass to similar language from liberals.

Mr. Limbaugh mentioned in particular an incident from Labor Day 2011 when, prior to an Obama address to a rally in Detroit, Teamsters President James Hoffa said of the tea party, “Let’s take these sons of bitches out.”

Obama only chuckled at that incident, said Limbaugh.

<...>

At the press conference, Obama also said he “did not know what’s in Rush Limbaugh’s heart” and so would not comment on the sincerity of the talk-show host/provocateur’s apology for his actions.

Limbaugh reacted strongly to this assertion, saying, “He doesn’t know what’s in my heart. I’ll bet he knows what’s in Jeremiah Wright’s heart. He was in Jeremiah Wright’s church for 20 years.”

So, Rushbo, it is not "hyprocrisy" since Obama acted properly and you did not. The Republicans just don't get how this works. What a bunch fo zeros.

demand that a woman make a video of herself having sex and then post the video online.

I think this demand is what has made women so angry.

By the way, can we establish a little context for Rev. Wright? The Toady Show fell all over itself trying to explain Ann Romney's comment about not considering herself wealthy earlier this week. Does anyone know what the context was for Rev. Wright saying "God damn America"? Yes? No?

He was talking about slavery, and the shameful fact that it was once a legal and acceptable practice in the United States to buy and sell human beings. Now, I don't know about anyone else, but I tend to agree with Rev. Wright that slavery was a despicable and, yes, damnable practice.

Anyone with an opposing viewpoint anent slavery is welcome to blow it out his or her ass.

Every time the Freepers say Obama is a Muslim, point out that Rush says he's a Christian, attending Jeremiah Wright’s church for 20 years.

That whip-like action when his blubber lashes out can be deadly.

Sarah Palin basically spent 2 weeks non-stop before the 2008 pushing the 'Pal-ing around with Terrorists' with the Jeremiah Wright/Weather Underground lameass connection. Voters overwhelmingly rejected it as an issue.

3.5 years later people are probably like 'WHO?'
