12. It makes the limousine lighter than Rush.
And I have a BIL who tunes in daily. 60 years old, no health insurance, working an entry level job. Lost his wife last year because they couldn't afford a doctor. The state picked up the hospital fees. I can't even begin to understand how he could idolize Rush, but he does.

And in need of the First Lady's fitness advice?

What is he saying? Is his dementia becoming even more obvious?

Either way, he's got stones the size of the Sudan making fun of someone's weight.

Hey Rush, go visit Thailand with some Viagra, you stupid shit.

Vampires, ghouls and zombies--and Rush is one of the three--can NEVER see themselves in mirrors.

Edited on Fri Sep-16-11 01:50 PM by Poll_Blind
...old as slavery. It's not a pure "coon" stereotype but rather a mixture of several different ones, including liberal stereotypes that I've seen him quoted using. You can learn more about the "coon" stereotype and other stereotypes here at the Jim Crowe museum online. This place is invaluable for reading into the dogwhistle caricatures that people like Rush use.

Seriously.

Look at this cartoon, probably something Rush fans would "get" but that bears no resemblance in any way to Michelle Obama:


She's not fat, she doesn't do anything like that...

It's because they're shoving her into a stereotype- a sort of angry "mammy"/"coon" combo. Dogwhistle caricatures like this are a racist's bread and butter.

Or this one, which is sort of a "coon in position of power" with a little "black brute" thrown in. Note the agressive stance, the white victim and the pearls and eyeshadow:


Those elements just don't fall into a cartoon by mistake.

Call 'em what they are: Racist.

And learn the Crowe-era stereotypes, be at least able to spot them generally. You would be amazingly surprised just how prevalent these racist stereotypes are, today.

make fun of a woman, even if she's bat shit crazy.

We can only make fun of stupid men in this world?

Believe me, it's NOT the same thing, not at all, when Rush Limbaugh opens his mouth to bash the First Lady of the nation, or when a few Democrats on a message board put up compromising pictures of a nut case. Sorry you cannot see the difference.

And try to use spell check if you're not sure of how to spell the names of candidates, it really helps!

40. What part of "not the same act" do you NOT understand?
Are you really that lacking in insight?

Limbaugh, an internationally well known media star baselessly accuses Michelle, (two L's) Obama of being overweight.

People on a message board post and view pictures of a lying idiot, (Michele
What part of those actions is the same? Answer NOT a THING.... you are just stubbornly refusing to admit your lack of comprehension of the differences.

If you want to defend Ms Bachmann from future compromising and embarrassing views of her, you might want to join her staff and get her to stop making a fool of herself for all to view.

limo is 8 tons. Loading Rush's bulk would make it closer to 16 tons.

His limo weighs from 14,000 to 16,000 lbs.

If it's the higher number, it DOES weigh 8 tons without her in it.

he gets (I'm still sickened at his portrayal of Michael J. Fox) the more popular he is with them. I think the man is an obscenity, period and really wonder what those wives see in him as a mate ...... there's got to be something?
