What kind of man attacks and humiliates a 13 year old girl on national tv?

[lifesbeautifulmagic]

yes, another Rush post. I am certainly not going to wish ill on him, but i certainly am not going to offer well wishes or disparage others for saying what they think about that pos.

The minute he said what he did about Chelsea Clinton, (she was 13 at the time, for gawds sake), all bets were off with me. He is a mean spirited, waste of a man. And lets get rid of this liberals have to be tolerant thing too, I have no desire to be tolerant of people who dehumanize others, be it gays, women, poor people, the peace movement or non-Christians.

And I am sick of those in the national media who elevate him beyond reason. The minute i see he is a guest anywhere, that's the last time I watch that show. Because some producer or someone involved in that show thinks enough about him to guest him, and that says volumes about what they must think about me, a 50 year old liberal democratic woman. There are plenty of others they could pick to elevate the conservative movement, but they picked Rush. Clearly, they don't want or care about my viewership. And that's fine with me. No wonder network tv is dying.

That is all, i just wanted to get than off my chest.

[Kingofalldems]

1. I remember --only a low life coward would do that

[Mojambo]

2. He's a scumbag. No doubt. n/t

[dotymed]

62. Sorry,

I can't help my feelings. I have heart failure, but I hope that worthless POS dies. It would be great to imagine him having a life-changing moment with his "pains." I would much prefer that he resume life as a progressive with an already established audience of "believers." But, Miracles like that are made on TeeVee. Karma will probably punish me and it is no way to start a new year....but at the very least, I hope he is forced into retirement, as I was. Except I couldn't afford it in our great capitalistic society...My health insurance runs out in 2 months and SS says I can do something. My cardiologist, researcher, medical school professor at I.U. says differently...May you get what you really deserve Rush.

[1monster]

63. The only way you get SSI these days is to get a lawyer who specialized in SSI and go

for it. I don't know how much it will cost you, but you can't get it without legal help.

Try legal aid if it is available in your area.

[dotymed]

65. I used a "Lawyer"

Wow...he sat in the chair beside me and farted (I guess he was too deaf to hear it), he was a waste! he had about 6 other cases scheduled for that day. I think he was going with the odds..before the "trial" (lol) a govt. Dr. on the phone, I was examined by him once in his 1 room storefront "office." He could barely speak intelligible English and had no patients. He is solely employed by the govt. to "evaluate" SS claimants. My Cardiologist, on the other hand, has seen inside of and worked on my heart. He is considered one of the very best in the state. He wrote a 5 page report that detailed my permanent blockages and my limitations, which are severe. My prognosis is death and I get to "enjoy" daily morphine to ease the pain of my dying heart muscle...anyway, before the "trial" the "lawyer" said that I couldn't be denied, after wards, he said, "I don't feel that went too well." I guess I don't respond well to being treated like a pile of scheming shit by people whose salary I help pay...Kafka would have been right at home. I guess I'll be an asshole to the end..lol

[TicketyBoo]

86. Don't give up!!!

It's standard operating procedure for them to turn EVERYONE down the first time around.

If you give up, you lose any back pay accumulation and have to start over with a new application date.

I know it's hard, but find an attorney that is experienced in this, and DON'T GIVE UP!

When you get Social Security, you get Medicare, and a heart transplant if you need it. This is your life in the balance, so DON'T GIVE UP!

When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
When the road you’re trudging seems all uphill,

When the funds are low and the debts are high,
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,

When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest, if you must, but do not quit.

Life is queer with its twists and turns,
As every one of us sometimes learns,

And many a failure turns about,
When he might have won had he stuck it out;

Don’t give up though the pace seems slow—
You may succeed with another blow.

Often the goal is nearer than,
It seems to a faint and faltering man,

Often the struggler has given up,
When he might have captured the victor’s cup,

And he learnt too late when the night slipped down,
How close he was to the golden crown.

Success is failure turned inside out—
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,

And you never can tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems so far,

So stick to the fight when you’re hardest hit—
It’s when things seem worst that you must not quit.

[1monster]

88. I'm sorry. We did everything but get the lawyer for a family member. Jumped through

all the hoops and were turned down in the end by a state examiner who decided that because he could hold a job, he didn't need SSI despite being multi handicapped and having a mental age of five or six.

It really ticks me off when I see people with hearing loss less than his as their only handicap getting SSI while he couldn't.

The whole reason some of those positions exist is to deny benefits to people who desperately need them.

Please read this article about a new way for those suffering from heart failure to fix the heart muscle. I read about it several years ago and it sounds promising. http://www.forbes.com/2004/06/16/cz_rl_0616heart.html

[jdlh8894]

3. Guess I missed it

What did he say?

[Bluebear]

5. 'Everyone knows...Socks is the White House cat. But did you know there is a White House dog?"

Then he held up a picture of 13-year old Chelsea Clinton.

[jdlh8894]

9. Thanks!

Was this on F*X? And when?

[caseymoz]

43. No. Not on Fox. Rush had a short-lived TV show. nt

[AlbertCat]

76. Rush had a short-lived TV show.

Yes, ol' Rushbo doesn't do too well on the tube. The 1st day of his show had an unscreened audience! It was a disaster. They were screened after than and still, the show sucked.

Most dittoheads I know listen to Rush while doing something else....driving around, house work, AT work...
Of all the hours and hours of Rush only a tiny fraction makes it into the news, or into the minds of listeners. But of course he spends most of his time talking about himself or agreeing with callers who just regurgitated something he just said...

It's really a dreadful show. I don't see how folks stand it. But then I also can't stand all those "Singing/dancing as a competitive sport" shows either. And I'm really sick of vampires and werewolves too.

[proud2BlibKansan]

11. He is a slime

:puke:

[Tuvok Obama]

18. And what's especially notable about that comment...

...is that Rush is not a physically attractive individual, by any standards. How could he not know that?

[Angry Dragon]

80. He has a magic mirror................

[Nay]

81. Funny you should say that! I had a boss one time who was forever

commenting on people's physical appearance, mostly negatively, and he was the homeliest fellow in the office. I have NO idea what sort of mental gyrations he went through when he looked in the mirror in the morning. But everybody had a look of :wtf: when he made such comments.

[Ken Burch]

87. The man himself once explained it

(in his comments on the day after the 1992 election, when he advised the party and its supporters to refuse to acknowledge that anything THEY had done or said could possibly have caused their own defeat)

Rush leaned into the camera and said...in a vaguely conspiratorial near-whisper, while wearing his usual smirk

"Conservatives...don't...DO...introspection..."

[sabrina 1]

26. He made two attempts to become a TV star. Both were failures.

I think what that indicates is that when he is presented to a general audience, he is simply not acceptable. People do not like him. So he retreats to his small corner of the media which is populated by the fringes of society. And I don't believe his audience is as big as he claims. Many Conservatives I know despise him.

I believe it was on his first TV show, which didn't last very long, that he made that vile comment about Chelsea Clinton when she was a little girl. The show wasn't on Fox, airc. Maybe MSNBC? His second failed attempt at a TV show was on the sports channel. He was fired I believe, after making a racist remark about a sports figure, which he denies and claims liberals got him fired because of 'political correctness' or whatever.

[leeroysphitz]

48. The show was syndicated across the country and wasn't affiliated with any networks of the time.

IIRC it was more or less just him, sitting on his fat ass behind a desk in front of an audience of mouthbreathers guffawing at his pathetic attempts to create topical humor.

[Posteritatis]

29. ... *sputter* ... Wow. Just wow. (nt)

[applegrove]

34. Just disgusting.

[Faygo Kid]

6. He showed a pic of her and called her the White House dog.

He's beneath vermin.

[Bluebear]

4. Chelsea and Michael J. Fox define Limbaugh AND HIS DITTOHEADS for me.

Lowlife, heartless, classless, always hopping mad, selfish, self-entitled low-intellect vermin.

[Shipwack]

60. As much as I hate to defend the "" heads, I have to mention...

To the credit of his audience that were in the studio, when he showed the picture of Chelsea there were gasps and a few boos.

When he saw the crowd wasn't with him, true to form he got flustered and claimed it was a mistake, blaming his assistants for the picture.

Then again, maybe they weren't fans in the audience, just people off the street paid to fill the seats.

[asjr]

7. Rus is a smart blowhard. Every time

his name is mentioned he probably puts about $5000 in his bank account. But the thing that frightens me about him is his cloned audience. They are twice as deadly as Rush. They each have a vote--he only has one.

[Oldtimeralso]

74. No,

Every time his name is mentioned he probably puts about $5000 in his bank account.
Probably much more as at 50 million a year thats almost a million a week, or about $999,999.98 more than he is worth. Just remember that a steaming pile of Shit can be used as a fertilizer,but what can we use El Blimpo for?

By the way I met Chelsea when she was 16 and was at that time a good looking young woman and very intelligent.

[EndElectoral]

8. well said

[blondeatlast]

10. I wish him karma--and thanks to the internets, I'm getting my wish.

No apologies from me, no sir.

[mzmolly]

31. D

itto. :hi:

[Lerkfish]

12. well, it may be unpopular to say, but that is not the worst of his douchebaggery

bad, yes, but i find his intentional propagandizing and water carrying for the neocons much more despicable.

[Bitwit1234]

13. And the thing is Chesla Clinton is NOT ugly

she has grown up to be a very nice looking young lady. But she isn't the first democratic child to be made fun of. Remember the slings and arrows the republicans threw at Amy Carter. BUT THEY TOLD THE PRESS OVER AND OVER AND OVER TIL THE BUSH TWINS WERE 21 no body was supposed to even cover anything they did. And in my book they are not at all pleasant to look at. Jenna looks as if she has been stung by bees her face is so puffed.

[jdlh8894]

15. she has grown up to be a very nice looking young lady

as compared to what? N/T

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

22. To obvious bimbo-look mass-produced "beautiful women", for starters. -nt

[mzmolly]

32. Bravo!

:toast:

[truth2power]

35. What? I think she's beautiful. n/t

[Hello_Kitty]

46. What do you look like?

Probably not much.

[donquijoterocket]

54. carrie Prejean for instance

Compared to carrie Prejean IMO. At the least she looks genuine and not sculpted out of some glossy pageant substance that can be animated for as long as it takes to fancy pageant walk some stage in a bikini and spew out some fatuous blather.
As for the oxyrush I do not and would not wish death upon him rather I was offhandedly hoping he'd be diagnosed with Parkinson's disease since he's demonstrated such sympathy for sufferers of that vicious malady.His death would only encourage his brain dead followers to make some sort of corpulent martyr out of him.I'm also relatively certain he'll see his escape from this episode as evidence that the one who loaned him his "talent" wishes to keep him around to continue his crusade.

[evan2]

16. Daughters of a woman who killed her HS boyfriend. Maybe they

have been punished in the looks department for what Lieruh did.

[jmowreader]

17. And the Bush twins were no angels, either

IIRC while we were being told the Bush Twins were off limits, they were doing shit that would get a middle-class family's kid sent to Juvenile Hall.

[Brickbat]

36. Not that it would have mattered if she was.

It's no reason to attack someone, IMO.

[AlbertCat]

78. Jenna looks as if she has been stung by bees her face is so puffed.

Hmmm...maybe she's a codeine addict...

(Well, if Rush can start rumors!)

[Doctor_J]

14. He's a low-life piece of shit

and the world will be a better place when he's no longer part of it.

[roseBudd]

19. And don't forget McCain joked that Chelsea is ugly because Janet Reno is her father

[RedCloud]

66. I guess in all his many houses he doesn't look in the mirrors.

[City Lights]

20. Limpdick is a sorry excuse for a human.

I, too, am sick of the mediawhores giving him credibility and boosting his already-over-inflated ego. I honestly can't recall the last time I watched a nooze program other than my local news. When one lies down with Rush, one loses all credibility.

[treestar]

21. He is horrid

:evilfrown: :mad:

[valerief]

23. POS. Him, not you. nt

[DebbieCDC]

24. K&R

My thoughts exactly.

[Odin2005]

25. I must be too young, what did that creep say about Chelsea?

[Skittles]

61. I believe he referred to her as the "First Dog"

something like that

to me it was one of those true character-defining moments

[Odin2005]

72. WTF? that is HORRIBLE!

:grr:

[Nay]

82. He called her the "White House dog" when she was 13 yrs old. nt

[Fire_Medic_Dave]

27. At what age is it appropriate?

[H2O Man]

57. you have to ask?

[Fire_Medic_Dave]

89. Someone missed the day when they went over rhetorical questions.

[Nay]

84. At no age is it appropriate, but it is especially uncultured and crass to

say such things about children.

[KG]

28. apparently, the kind of man i'm sposed to have rainbows of compassion shining out of my as for

:eyes:

[DailyGrind51]

30. Don't forget how he ridiculed Kitty Dukakis for being an alcoholic!

[BlueJazz]

33. So She is a Dog ???? Wrong again Rush!!

[winyanstaz]

38. a very lovely young lady indeed...

Any mom would be proud of her.

[Autonomy]

52. A definite cutie

and well educated.

[Jim Sagle]

37. Compare and contrast:

[winyanstaz]

39. The red in his aura tells me he was so angry he wanted to explode...

What an ugly fellow...inside and out.

[DailyGrind51]

40. Compare Chelsea and the Bush "party girls"!

[AlbertCat]

79. Compare Chelsea and the Bush "party girls"!

And then there's Liz Chenney.....

All looks aside.....just compare character....

Who would you ask to water your plants while you were out of town?

[leeroysphitz]

50. Have some more prime rib Rush. Would you like another helping of deep fried

mozzarella sticks? How about some bacon? Please help yourself have all you want. No really, it's no trouble at all. After dinner you can camp out on the couch and watch Dancing with the Stars with a few cold brewskis.

Eat up Rush.

[lpbk2713]

41. This kind ---->

But I wouldn't go so far as referring to this asshole as a "man".

[LibDemAlways]

42. The worst thing about Rush is that he's smarter than his audience and

he'll say anything to make a buck. He knows how to push the buttons of the ignorant "morans" who listen to him. I don't think he actually believes much of what he says, but he makes up crazy shit to stir them up and keep them listening. They're being played and he's laughing all the way to the bank.

[Paladin]

44. I'm Looking At A Paperweight On My Desk That's Smarter Than His Audience. (n/t)

[LibDemAlways]

49. That's the key to his success. The stupidity of a sizable portion of the

American people.

[11 Bravo]

45. A miserable shitstain who is finding out even as I type this that ...

what goes around, comes around.

[Ticonderoga]

47. It's not really fair to

go after the Bu$h girls either. They can't help it that their Parents are fucking idiots.

[XanaDUer]

51. Has he died yet?

nt.

[MUAD_DIB]

58. I'm not sure.

1) He is extremely overweight

2) He is a known pill-popper/drug addict...may still be one.

3) Does he consume too much alcohol?


4) He is not 20 years old so #'s 1, 2 and 3 have more meaning for him now.

[femrap]

53. May Karma meet

Limpballs with a punch!

[MUAD_DIB]

55. lifesbeautifulmagic, the only people that I have heard say that Liberals

have to be tolerant are the right wingers that believe that they can throw their shit at us with impunity.

If we fight back then they whine about how We have to play fair because bla, bla, bla...

I'm sure the POS Rush is no different.


Fuck Em All and HAPPY NEW YEAR. :hi:

[wolfgangmo]

56. I agree - if you want to up your game then you should.

Contact the show and all of their advertisers and tell them why you are not watching that show/using those products as long as they support that show or any show that books Rush Limbaugh.

Collectively we wield an incredible amount of money is terms of spending. If we not only hurt them financially but more importantly let them know why they are being hurt then they will move their advertising budgets.

Just my 2 cents.

[seafan]

59. A self-hating bloviating gasbag would do these things.

"Everyone knows the Clintons have a cat," said Limbaugh. "Socks is the White House cat. But did you know there is also a White House dog?" And he held up a picture of Chelsea. 1993

"Has anybody ever heard of Rachel Maddow?" ---Rush Limbaugh. ~2006

Limbaugh's drug use became public in early October when his former maid sold her story to The National Enquirer, saying she provided the radio host with thousands of illegal pain pills over four years. Limbaugh then admitted on the air he was addicted, and entered drug treatment for five weeks. He returned to his show Nov. 17.

Since then, Limbaugh has said the criminal investigation by Palm Beach County State Attorney Barry Krischer's office is politically motivated. --- Palm Beach Post, January 13, 2004

Limbaugh Deal Avoids Drug Prosecution, Defense Says, LA Times, April 29, 2006

Radio talk-show host Rush Limbaugh was booked on drug charges in Florida on Friday, and his lawyer said that Limbaugh had agreed to a deal enabling him to avoid prosecution in the prescription abuse case if he continued treatment for addiction problems and avoided any other run-ins with the law.

Limbaugh, a conservative darling and liberal bete noire, was booked, photographed and fingerprinted in Palm Beach, Fla., then shortly thereafter released on a $3,000 bond, according to a posting on the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office website. A spokesman said there would be no further comment.

The apparent deal caps a three-year investigation into allegations originally aired by a housekeeper at Limbaugh's Palm Beach mansion, who told the National Enquirer that the radio host had abused OxyContin and other painkillers.
Prosecutors began looking into potential "doctor shopping" by Limbaugh, who received about 2,000 pain pills prescribed by four doctors over a six-month period -- all from a pharmacy near the Palm Beach house. The charge on the sheriff's website was listed as "fraud -- conceal info to obtain prescription."

Limbaugh admitted on the air to being addicted to painkillers, and told listeners he was entering a rehabilitation program. He took a five-week leave.
Although many of his fans voiced sympathy and support, detractors saw hypocrisy, noting that Limbaugh had been a staunch proponent of cracking down on drug users.

"Drug use, some might say, is destroying this country," Limbaugh said in October 1995 on a television show he had at the time. "And so, if people are violating the law by doing drugs, they ought to be accused and they ought to be convicted and they ought to be sent up."

.....

(Limbaugh's lawyer Roy) Black said that the deal with prosecutors called for the fraud charge to be dropped in 18 months if Limbaugh complied with all court guidelines, and that Limbaugh would pay $30,000 to defray the state's investigation costs and $30 a month for "supervision" of his treatment.

Prosecutors could not be reached for comment late Friday. But legal analysts said it appeared Limbaugh had eluded any criminal conviction in the much-publicized case.

"They slapped his hand, and that's all," said Debra Opri, a celebrity lawyer and frequent television analyst.

"So absolutely it's a victory for Limbaugh," Opri said.

"He doesn't have to stand trial. He just gets to say, 'Hey, I'll keep my nose clean. I don't have any priors, and I don't anticipate any futures.' And that's it. He walks."

From Think Progress, January 20, 2009:

Barack Obama has not yet taken office, and Rush Limbaugh is already rooting for his failure. On his radio show last Friday, Limbaugh said, “I disagree fervently with the people on our side of the aisle who have caved and who say, ‘Well, I hope he succeeds.’”

Limbaugh told his listeners that he was asked by “a major American print publication” to offer a 400-word statement explaining his “hope for the Obama presidency.” He responded:

So I’m thinking of replying to the guy, “Okay, I’ll send you a response, but I don’t need 400 words, I need four: I hope he fails.” (interruption) What are you laughing at? See, here’s the point. Everybody thinks it’s outrageous to say. Look, even my staff, “Oh, you can’t do that.” Why not? Why is it any different, what’s new, what is unfair about my saying I hope liberalism fails? Liberalism is our problem. Liberalism is what’s gotten us dangerously close to the precipice here. Why do I want more of it? I don’t care what the Drive-By story is. I would be honored if the Drive-By Media headlined me all day long: “Limbaugh: I Hope Obama Fails.” Somebody’s gotta say it.

It hasn’t taken long for Limbaugh to reveal his core hypocrisy. In July 2006, with conservatives in power, Limbaugh offered one of his common screeds against the left. “I’m getting so sick and tired of people rooting for the defeat of the good guys,” he complained.

During the Clinton presidency in the 90s, Limbaugh would begin his show with a gimmick, purporting to count the days America had been “held hostage.” In May 2007, Limbaugh recalled:

Back when Clinton was inaugurated in 1993 and we began our America Held Hostage countdown, the number of days left until Clinton was gone so we’d all be released from bondage, the joke, do you remember how mad the liberals got at that? Do you remember how mad the Drive-Bys got at that? Then they started running stories how I, Rush Limbaugh, was destroying the respect for the office of the presidency that the American people had.

A disastrous Bush presidency has come and gone, but some things haven’t changed a bit.

This coddled, garbaged-mouthed disgrace will have his own come-to-Jesus moment.

Take his microphone away. Don't give the bully the attention he so needs.


And let those who do, know that you won't listen or watch again. I'm going to do this from now on. It's how we make changes. The sad part is, he's over. His years are behind him. He did his damage. We've got to look to the next conservative mouthpieces.

[cherish44]

67. Rush wasn't the only one making fun of Chelsea back then....

Other "comedians" and SNL used to as well. It's a real cheap shot making fun of a kid just because you dislike her parents. I'd love to see what Rush and those other looked like at 13. Chelsea grew into a very attractive woman and if someone of her level today even so much as said hello to any of these losers they wouldn't know whether to shit or go blind.

And he called the President of the United States a murderer and said he(Clinton) personally ordered a hit on Foster. ( and that is not the same as calling a president a murderer and war criminal for what many consider an illegal war, this was "personal")And he accused Michael J. Fox of faking his symptoms and made racist comments about atheletes.Rush is humsn garbage as far as I am concerned.
