LOL-Limbaugh = Oil-Spill Truther!!!
If Rush Limbaugh was on the far left, he'd be a 9/11 truther. As it is, he's on the far right, and has decided to become an oil-spill truther:

I want to get back to the timing of the blowing up, the explosion out there in the Gulf of Mexico of this oil rig. ... Now, lest we forget, ladies and gentlemen, the carbon tax bill, cap and trade, that was scheduled to be announced on Earth Day. I remember that. And then it was postponed for a couple of days later after Earth Day, and then of course immigration has now moved in front of it. But this bill, the cap-and-trade bill, was strongly criticized by hardcore environmentalist wackos because it supposedly allowed more offshore drilling and nuclear plants, nuclear plant investment. So, since they're sending SWAT teams down there, folks, since they're sending SWAT teams to inspect the other rigs, what better way to head off more oil drilling, nuclear plants, than by blowing up a rig? I'm just noting the timing here.

1. Only that fat tub of wasted ectoplasm would think that ANYONE would
risk human lives and ecosystems to further a cap-and-trade bill.

2. I'm just noting that Rush is an overpaid draft-dodging, drug-abusing republicon propaganda pimp
But then anyone who cares about truth already knows his shameful record...

3. Environmentalist wackos have their own SWAT teams?
Sounds like Rush has been snacking on pharmaceuticals again.

12. Apparently Halliburton (who had the drill hole cementing job) is infested with eco-terrorists.
Cheney is their mole master.

Actually Rush is one of them too, under deep deep cover.

4. Gee, I thought these tragedies were acts of an angry god
I thought this time "he" was angry about the decadent lives of the people along the Alabama and Mississippi coasts.

6. I just heard the pigman's bullshit spewed out - so the dittoheads have someone to blame
Edited on Fri Apr-30-10 06:17 PM by GreenTea
in their feeble arguments, instead of placing the blame where it rightfully belongs, on the no regulation, never any regulations on corporations republicans and the oil corporations who's ONLY concerns are more profit above ALL else.

Saw the pigman Limbaugh on The Ed(Schultz)Show MSNBC, spewing out this bullshit and his usual lies.

9. "Rush"?
Edited on Fri Apr-30-10 06:15 PM by GreenTea
Sounds like you might of been a loyal listener at one time...I prefer other references, like Mike, Malloy's "Pigman" or Ed Schultz "the Drugster" or the many other appropriate references, even Limbaugh is better than the affectionate, "Rush" in my book. - Personally I despise the lying greedy racist pigshit,fascist motherfucker ...But hey, that's just me. I suppose most here really like him.

10. So I'm a loyal listener because I use his name instead of calling names?
The name calling does nothing to call the man's bloviating hate mongering into question.

For the record, I used to listen. I turned his program off the day we invaded Iraq. Simply couldn't stomach the lies any more. I did listen throughout the months and months of discussion re the Monica scandal. That was fun in a masochistic kind of way. Now it turns my stomach to the point that even my husband understands, if Rush is on the radio when I'm within listening distance, it might lead to divorce. And the arguments over it have been exactly that bitter.

14. What the heck are you talking about?
Edited on Fri Apr-30-10 07:28 PM by Cali_Democrat
That poster referred to him as Rush and you jump to the conclusion that he/she may have been a loyal listener at one time? Then you go on to say that most people on DU really like him? :crazy:

8. SWAT != special weapons and tactics, dipshit
it's "surface water appraisal team" or something like that.

I've seen a lot of confusion on that, but it takes ten seconds to google it and figure it out. Rush couldn't (or wouldn't) be bothered

17. He is so ignorant
and any one who buys his crap has got to be brain dead. You have no idea how high security is on an off shore oil rig or just a oil processing plant on ground. They take that shit real serious like. It makes homeland security look like a simple traffic cop action compared to what extremes oil companies go to secure all their facilities.

I'd love to get in his face about that one.
