Limbaugh is getting more notoriety since President Obama mentioned him in a meeting
In a piece written by Carl Matthes entitled, "Rush Limbaugh: The Lyin’ King’s Reign of Error", Rush is shown for what he truly is.

1. Clinton bad mouthed him a few times early in his presidency too
and it only played into the fat man's hands.

Limbaugh thrives under Democratic presidents. I'd be willing to bet you that in the privacy of the voting booth he voted for Clinton and Obama.

13. Larry Mantle did a piece today called "Rush and the Republicans"
Larry also stated that Rush's notoriety is on the rise. The show was aired on KPCC today on Larry's show "Air Talk"

8. Fat bastard (aka Porkulus) has no ideology except money
He's definitely relieved that he doesn't have to defend the indefensible any longer.

He can go on the attack now.

10. Obama's playing Limbaugh just fine.
I'd say that Limbaugh's becoming a net liability for the GOP, the way Obama's handling him right now, and he's pretty much pushing them into reactionary, batshit idiotic posturing - the Republicans are shooting themselves in the foot.

7. I hope the GOP base's collective math skills remain rudimentary
They are very impressed that El Rushbo has, supposedly, "20 million listeners."

When they finally figure out that 20,000,000 is at best about 15 percent of the overall voting public, and that most of the rest of us point and laugh at them...

4. Great! Having that nasty drug addicted racist as the face and
voice of the GOP only helps point out how disgusting that party is.

9. Obama did drugs too. Can't use this argument if you want to defend him successfully
Edited on Wed Feb-11-09 12:17 PM by blueladybird
I don't believe Obama is a racist.

11. Obama has never gone on and on about how horrible a person who
is addicted to drugs is.. or how they should be locked away forever.. Essentially, Rush is a hypocrite... when he got caught, it was ok.. he got clean and he got "saved".. blah, blah. Kind of like Palin's kid getting Prego.. had that been one of Obama's daughter's.. it would have been shit forever and ever.. but a christian whacko and its a choice and a blessing. hypocrite.. that's the problem most of us have with these rush-freak-o followers.
