We Have Done It Folks - The Democratic Underground ("The Leftest Army") Has Rush Limbaugh Worried

Don't Worry, Rush. The Reaction is Just a Fluke



BREAK TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: I started doing show prep. And it's classic but predictable, and it's also common. The decision is announced, the media misreports what happened, and the leftist army -- and I'm gonna tell you something about this. I don't know this for sure, but, you know, all these comments that you read, I don't care where, the Democrat Underground. Hell, these poor slobs even started infecting the SCOTUS blog. The SCOTUS blog is a blog that simply reports the news happening at the Supreme Court. It is not a partisan blog. It is not an opinion blog. It's simply a blog that reports the news.

Well, these little leftist commentators polluted that place thinking that it was a way to insult the justices. They thought it was their blog and it's not. But I actually think in all of this -- I don't care whether it's comments on an issue here or other things, I bet there's a handful of people that are making themselves look like there are tens and thousands and maybe hundred thousands of them. The idea that there is this much conformity and stupidity on the Democrat side, I know there's a lot of, but to think it's this widespread, it's a tough sell for me. I think these people are out there making themselves look far larger than they really are. And anyway, that's another matter.

The point is they were there. However many of them there were, they were just running crazy and making the most asinine, stupid comments about this. And they were joined by such great minds as Elizabeth Warren and Harry Reid, who were also, "Well, this is the end of life as we know it for women in America. Women have been taken back to the Stone Age, barefoot, pregnant, and being clubbed by Fred Flintstone in the kitchen." I mean, that pretty much sums up what every comment said.

Can't even get the name of our party correct, much less this website? If somebody wants the "Democrat Underground," there ISN'T one. There's no such thing. So maybe we should start referring to rush limb. Or rush limbaughtic? How 'bout WE give HIM a new name, 'eh?

Can't say why exactly, but it always bothers me a mite when I see him referred to as "Rush."

Maybe because it seems to confer familiarity. Anyone who wants to use his first name should probably use "Jeff," as a nod to his illustrious career as a DJ.

(No offense intended to any legitimate Jeffs out there.)

More...about that site where the fringe hangs out:

Certainly, the fringes of the political spectrum are active online on heavily trafficked discussion boards such as the left-wing democraticunderground.com and the right-wing freerepublic.com. Dean's fiery message resonates in the left-wing haunts. He is the favorite son on democraticunderground.com, according to the site's proprietor, David Allen, and the people posting on that site are an animated bunch. Much of what they post -- about Bush, and about moderate Democrats -- would not be appropriate to repeat here.

He has destroyed more lives than crank has. Just think about it for a moment, all the people he's poisoned with his line of bullshit. Personally I won't stay anywhere that he is on the radio or tv if he's ever on tv that is. Theres old friends who I don't even go around anymore cause they listen to that drivel. Its pretty obvious when you're talking to someone and they're a right wing radio listener. It comes through loud and clear.

Their average age is around 70. He appeals to the pre-Civil Rights, pre-segregationist base of the GOP and they're one demographic whose passing will greatly wound the conservative movement. It pains me because my husband, who's 20 years older than I am, is in this age group, but I'm in no better shape as I look over my shoulder and realize that millennials are probably blaming everyone over 40 for what's wrong with the world. But, time isn't on the side of fringe conservatism. They don't have a strong youth movement in place to carry their torches.

While some may have said Rush Limbaugh fucks Rotted Sea Cucumbers, there is no conclusive evidence that we are yet aware of to definitively demonstrate that, yes, Rush Limbaugh fucks rotted sea cucumbers.



However I do believe that the Rush Limbaugh rotted sea cucumber sex scandal could be easily addressed if Rush Limbaugh would answer the question as to whether or not he actually fucks rotted sea cucumbers.

61. DU is getting a reputation
Tue Jul 1, 2014, 08:12 PM
Jul 2014

I don't encounter a lot of conservatives on Facebook, but a Facebook friend of mine recently friended a conservative in the hope that he'd be able to play nice with others. In response to one of this guy's comments, I quoted the Dictionary.com definition of conservative as "disposed to preserve existing conditions, institutions, etc., or to restore traditional ones, and to limit change" -- and boy, did he go ballistic. He said it was the sort of horrible slander you'd expect to see on Democratic Underground or Daily Kos and then launched into an extended explanation of free market ideology.

I didn't try to tell him what people really have to say about conservatives at DU. I was sorely tempted -- but I didn't want to get our mutual friend in trouble.

He obviously doesn't hang out in dictionaries much. (First, since you were merely quoting a dictionary definition to him, and second, since he didn't know slander is spoken, and he wanted to misuse the word libel.) But it does make me wonder what he actually thinks conservative means.

Tue Jul 1, 2014, 10:04 PM
Jul 2014

If you check online dictionaries, the most general definition is "a malicious, false, and defamatory statement." The specific legal use of "defamation by oral utterance" follows the general one.

But the real point is how thin-skinned he was about the idea that conservatives are resistant to change. It seems to go along with the whole idea the right has of itself as some kind of free market revolutionaries.

The Supremes overplayed their ideology trumps the rule of law decision making so much that the backlash is going to come in the form of a biblical tidal wave of pestilence and famine to the Republicans everywhere.

They are living in Pompeii and the HL decision is their erupting Mt. Vesuvius.

That decision is really, really over the top and really, really infuriating to both women and men that like and respect women everywhere. The Republican electorate in 2014 will consist solely of the misogynist vote. They are certainly out there, but not in near enough numbers to win elections!

Tue Jul 1, 2014, 09:04 PM
Jul 2014

They all use Democrat instead Democrats on Sunday morning talk shows, radio, C-Span.... I have used the play on words Rethug, Repug or Repugnants here at DU among friends, but not on other sites where Republicans may come hang out. When I see Mitch McTurtlehead, McChinless, Wax Face, or my mom's favorite, Chuckles, use the word Democrat, when it should be Democrats, in a TV interview or on the floor of the Senate, it does bother me. Democrats talk about Comity, civility etc., when discussing the "Esteemed Opposition" and do not come out with the truth because it might offend the Repugs (my personal favorite), it really pisses me off! The complete lack of respect pisses me off, and that is the only reason why they do it.

It is men and women like Limpballs, Michael "Ignorant" Savage, Bill "Luffa" O'Reilly, Sean InSanity, Spam Colder, and Michelle "Nut-Job" Maulkin that have ruined our Democracy. They have helped Fox brainwash a portion of our country and pushed the Rethugs so far to the Right that they cannot compromise at all on anything. It has brought our government to a virtual standstill to the point that it does not function. Things are so polarized now where both sides behave like British soccer fans, that we run the risk of blindly supporting whatever policies the Democrats come up with instead of adding our dissenting opinions to the conversation. I do not agree with everything our Democratic (Still "Democrat" for you Repug trolls) politicians come out with just because the Rethugs hate it. The Republicans that I know passed the point of objectivity and civility a long while back.

Don't let their behavior cause you to start down the path to a closed mind. I doubt many here at DU have anything to worry about on that front, but there are some. Don't lose your objectivity and continue to call "Bull Shit" whenever and where ever you find it!

Oh yeah I almost forgot, FUCK YOU RUSH!!!

You've already LOST THE BATTLE, and somewhere in the far dark reaches of your porcine 'brain', you know what the rest of the world knows. We have more readers and posters than your show does, and the vast majority of our hundreds of thousands are dedicated to removing you from the airwaves entirely. Pretty soon you'll be nothing more than a sickening but faint memory for the world. Hope you've saved a lot of $ to live on then, because people like you are dying out, thank God Almighty. Don't come whining to us when you're broke and 'living' in a refrigerator box under the freeway

126. My 'rule of thumb' for Bushwhacks applies to Rush...
Wed Jul 2, 2014, 04:27 AM
Jul 2014

The rule is this:

Whatever they say, the opposite is true; and, whatever they accuse others of doing, they are doing or planning to do.


This was an almost infallible guide to the truth, when analyzing Bush Junta statements. Applied to Rush Limbaugh, in this case, it means that the far right is "a handful of people that are making themselves look like there are tens and thousands and maybe hundred thousands of them."

There is plenty of evidence for this--for instance, the single digit approval rating for this rightwing-controlled Congress (obviously they are just a few people who represent almost no one else), or, Koch Brothers and the other few far rightwing controllers of the national dialogue using 'think tanks,' media monopolies and huge funding of tiny rightwing groups and viewpoints, or the two far rightwing Urosevich brothers (ES&S/Diebold) who control most of the voting machines in the U.S. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that a few very rich people broadcast their views way out of proportion to their numbers, and way, way over-influencing what we think that other Americans are thinking.

Rush Limbaugh has just confirmed that he knows this. HE is one of these few. ("Whatever they accuse others of doing, they are doing or planning to do.&quot

I inserted something to make it sound like he had just inhaled a bunch of helium... now THAT, was hilarious - and it just seemed so much more an apt reflection of his intellect, personality, maturity - and so on.
