Limbaugh Calls President Obama a 'Jackass'
'Obama, Limbaugh says, is an "economic ignoramus" for not understanding how a "tax increase" on the wealthy won't stimulate growth.

Quoting an AP article from yesterday, Limbaugh pointed out Obama’s remarks at a meeting of his Economic Recovery Advisory Board that the wealthy would “take our ball and go home” if their tax cuts aren’t extended.

Limbaugh then addressed the following line to the president directly:

“Mr. Obama, our imam-child, they have already taken their trillion dollar ball home, and they’re sitting on it, you jackass.”'

ABC News



Disgusting. It reminds me that this is what we are up against.

1. Fair is fair - I've called Rush far worse names
...and the emblem of our party is the Jackass, so I'd wear that comment as a badge of honor:dem:

4. I don't think Obama or anyone else thinks the "tax increase" on the
wealthy will stimulate growth. I thought it was a step to reduce the deficit without further harming the middle and lower classes. Rush is a spin-ster to be sure.

7. Yeah, what an ignoramus
He totally fails to understand that if you give a load of money to those who already have it, it will trickle down to those that don't. I wonder what would help Obama understand this fundamental principle. Maybe some actual evidence of it working? Like, um...well, I can't think of any right now, but everyone knows it's true because St. Ronnie said so.

Because of Poe's Law: :sarcasm:

8. How many jobs has Rush created?
I mean, with his multi-million a year contract and all ...

Okay, one ... his housekeeper running to the different doctors for his oxycontin prescription doctor-shopping ...

9. In Webster's Dictionary, the word "jackass" has Rush Limbaugh's picture next to it
Him calling Obama a jackass is petty to say the least. His Obama Derangement Syndrome is ever expanding.

10. Projecting again, eh Rush?
How about explaining to us what happened to all the economic growth that was supposedly stimulated by that last big, fat tax cut Idiot Boy gave the wealthy. Where are all the jobs it created? Looks to me like y'all already took your ball and went home, asshole.

13. "imam-child" is pretty offensive too
Edited on Wed Oct-06-10 08:29 AM by karynnj
Obama is not a "child" (the new version of "boy") - and not a Muslim, much less a cleric.

One take away - language like that means he is speaking only his rabid base. This would be offensive to anyone even close to being on the fence.

What is really mind boggling is why anyone follows this college dropout, draft dodger, obese, disgusting man. All I can think of is that they like that he tells them - his dittoheads - that they are smart - and no one else ever tells them that.

17. My open letter to Mr. Limbaugh:
Mr. Limbaugh, it is time for some severe austerity measures in America.

This does mean taxing the rich more. We need to pay off our debts.

Also taxes on the not-rich do need to be lowered, so that there is more money for more people to spend.

If you Mr. Limbaugh are a true Conservative, then you should be calling that the United States, (lead by a socialist muslim liberal if we were to use your language) should adopt Conservative principles already out in play in Europe, where their budget deficits as a percentage of GDP is much more worse than the USA's situation. They have recognized that if they do nothing, they will be swamped by an economic tsunami that they see heading their way. There is already an economic tsunami heading our way and we need to head for higher ground to avoid being washed away. Higher ground is more taxes in the right places, pragmatic public spending cuts, legislation that stimulates business growth and the creation of jobs, and the ending of politician "pet projects" or "pork" as it is called from time to time.

Mr. Limbaugh, President Obama is advised about the economy from a wide range of people, including Warren Buffett. Mr. Buffett knows a thing or two about the economy and he has been calling for tax cuts for everyone except the rich, where they should be raised. This is coming from a billionaire who at one point was the wealthiest man in the world. When it comes to economic matters, Mr. Buffett would be an individual whose advice I would trust and consider more valuable than a political entertainer as yourself.

Regards, Mark.

21. The airwaves are filled with major and minor RW talk show hosts saying much
worse than that....all day every day. Take a drive through the CA central valley....or many other places.... and listen to talk shows and religious programming. 90% of all talk radio hours are RW, literally, and they've been hammering Obama since day 1. LIsten to propagadist Mark Levin for two minutes sometime. It is amazing that Obama has the approval ratings that he does, in context of the 24/7 smearing and denigration. That's one reason why Angle and ODonnell exist.
