Rush Limbaugh in Joplin,Mo. July 4th, 2011 Not political, about Joplin

[butuh13]

Hey, wanna know why Limbaugh is selling iced tea?

Because his dittohead fans already drank the Kool-Aid!!!

[lekewido3]

Sounds like "anarchy". How conservative of you to say that.

[RLN1972]

God bless America and Joplin!!!!! Great people dont need the goverment to survive!!!! Lets depend on each other!!!!! Gods children helping each other!!!!

[swdekalb4]

Chill bumps.. true American exceptionalism!! WE NEED A PRESIDENT WHO SOUNDS LIKE THIS!!!!!

[humanisall]

This is when you drink the kool-aide. Jesus call them a false prophet. He gives you want you to hear. And agrees with your anger and uses that to manipulate your ideology. ANd that is all the conservative is, an idea. There is no concrete plan or motion. Just a bunch of whining and clouded judgement. And these dumbasses still don't understand science or climate change. What creates storms? Not a god. Maybe its the differentiation of cold and hot air. People need to read more than one pop-up book

[r8Dest]

*nods to Rush*

[tigerwoods60]

Rush Limbaugh is a great American!

[chaumont20]

A Rare Appearance from one of the Greatest Conservative Thinkers of All Time. A Great Uplifting Non Political Speech. What a Great Contrast from the Doom and Gloom, Class Warfare that we're Subjected to from Liberals and Progressives on a daily basis.

[MrOnlinePsychology]

@chaumont20 - If rush Limbaugh gave a PRO government regulation speech would that not be political either - lets here your answer

[chaumont20]

@MrOnlinePsychology Only a Liberal or Progressive would think a Speech talking about the Greatness of America is anti - government but I guess if you live in a bubble of Liberal and Progressive Group Think any talk about the Greatness of America is anti - government.

[SnapCraft316]

Seriously, how can you hate this guy? Unlike a lib he didn't take any cheap shots at anyone. Only people embarrassed of our country would find a problem with this speech.

[usaeagle1776]

Bill Maher says America is stupid, the American people are stupid.....good to hear from Rush about what America really is instead of that freak Maher.

[sibkiss2009]

We hope Joplin will recover more and more. Every time the radar shows a bad weather system approaching, we pray for it to bypass Joplin.

[peanutzinuk]

Fantastic! Wish there was a "Rush Limbaugh" in UK to show the 'right' way! Thank you for posting so fast!

[blueinmo]

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt those bad liberals gave $500,000 bucks to Joplin recovery. How much money did Rush give to help the recovery ZERO!? Personally I think Angelina and Brad shouldn't have given a dime to help people like you posters here!

[tackN2Wind]

@blueinmo You are one SAD ankle biter. I pity you.

[blueinmo]

@tackN2Wind pity yourself. I just stated a FACT and as usual you Rush supporters don't like facts.

[qpwillie]

@blueinmo

You have no idea how much Rush gave them because Rush doesn't do it for the same reasons that people like Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt do. You can bet what Rush gave was substantial though.

[blueinmo]

@qpwillie rush did not give 1 red cent! And FYI Brad Pitts mom lives in Springfield, Mo.

[peanutzinuk]

Fantastic. I wish there was a "Rush Limbaugh" in UK to show people to do the 'right' way.

[phatmanxxxl]

For those who say this is political, posts the spots where he says Democrat, Republican, liberal, etc. Go ahead prove it to us.

[drychalice]

Obama is not a legitimate President.

Why does Rush consider him as one ?

[MetalDetroit]

Two if by Sea - Rush Limbaugh's Company: - A LIBERAL sees: Rush already has enough money - He doesn't need more !! A CONSERVATIVE sees - that Rush is creating JOBS: - Advertising jobs - Shipping and Recieving jobs - Bottling jobs - Marketing jobs - Accounting jobs - Printing jobs - Transportation jobs -

And that sums up why the economy is the toilet - Democrats demonize job creators.

[blueinmo]

@MetalDetroit don't forget oxycotin illegal selling jobs too! ;-) Woohoo!

[palatius1]

Rush is probably one of the most misunderstood people in the US. Most of the people who hate him base their opinion of him on other folks bias, having never personally listened to him. They dismiss him out of hand without doing due diligence. Thanks Rush for reaching out in this way to Joplin and inspiring them.

[jamieboi1029]

I was there and was able to shake his hand and was so surprised at how humble of man he truly is. He tells it like it is. We are a great nation and always will as long as it is about the people not the Gov.

[robertw115]

AS usual Rush speaks from the heart, unlike thos that need a telepromter

[marley54fd]

Sad day when people have to listen to a drug addicted, draft dodger to tell them what's great about America.

[cabinarrow]

@marley54fd I thought all liberals liked it when drug addicts got rehabbed and did well with their lives. Oh, Rush is a conservative.  You only wish liberals well. People like Ted Kennedy who actually let a young woman die in a car while he lined up his lawyers.

[travel1949]

@cabinarrow Bam!, Ouch!, Wap!.......Excelent comback

[marley54fd]

@cabinarrow Haha. Ignore the facts and change the subject. You'll love being a teabagger. Rush Limbaugh is a draft dodger. He is a drug addict. He is a coward. This is your role model for America? How pathetic.

[MrOnlinePsychology]

@marley54fd - arguing with these people is like debating a wild fire

[aeroliner750]

@jboritzki this from a gun toting hill billie obuma talks about you do you have a bible also

[jboritzki]

@aeroliner750 No, it's coming from a productive member of society. A husband and a father and I hate to break it to ya, but it does not hurt my feelings when a vicious anti-American guy, such as yourself, calls me names or tried to belittle me. You are beneath me and will remain there. I do hope you can lose the hatred you have.

[aeroliner750]

@jboritzki Well i guess that you forgot that buma said that (gun toting bible carrying)and you being a supporter of that sorry person be mad at him not me he is the one that said it first or did you forget?

[aeroliner750]

@jboritzki Well i guess that you forgot that buma said that (gun toting bible carrying)and you being a supporter of that sorry person be mad at him not me he is the one that said it first or did you forget? and thanks for checking out my page

[aeroliner750]

@jboritzki where did i get the idea that you support buma, O i don't know maybe you calling rush a drug addict and talking about buma and clinton when the both of them hate America

[jboritzki]

@aeroliner750 And "this" that you claim comes from me... "This" would be defined as a love for my country. "This" would be me agreeing with Rush, Clinton, or Obama, or John Q Public, or anyone else that says America is a great country. I will assume your nasty comment toward me is just your way of telling everyone that you do not like America.

[aeroliner750]

@aeroliner750 did you or did you not call rush a drug addict this man loves this country

and your obuma is the one that said a gun toting bible carrying

obuma hates this contry but maybe not as much as clinton

seems like the only thing that you thought was right that rush said was talking about America and you think that buma and clinton do also WRONG!!!!!!!!

[ajacoid]

@marley54fd Thanks for proving that libs are nothing but hate mongering, soul-less chickenshits.

[citizenintime]

@marley54fd And every lib in the country, especially the socialist in the White House, are quaking in their boots because Limbaugh speaks unassailable truths.

[aeroliner750]

@marley54fd DUDE how can he be a draft dodge? aw he was only born in 1960 what was to go in when he was 4? dang ass dope LIB typical

[rgritterjr]

Rush is one of the most patriotic figures in America today.

So many of his pundits report how negative he is, but the truth is that he reports - YOU get to decide (no pun at FOXNEWS is intended). If anyone takes the time and effort to LISTEN to his show, his moniker of "The Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies" is real truth about him and his show.

His character and views are very conservative, but what he really does is report some of the goofy stuff democrats say.

[DoctorJK3]

This is the basis of what it is be an American. Excellent.

[oneyetiger]

Rush Revere comes to help Joplin, Mo. celebrate American exceptionaliam and its "can do" attitude. It's fantastic America has a huge heart and helping hands. Thank you Rush for letting America use the other half of your brain not tied behind your back just to make it fair. We love you and all those like you with inspiring messages from the heartland of the greatest nation on Earth blessed by God.

Philip in WNC

[shellymic]

I'm so happy you posted this video! Not only do I get a chance to hear Rush in a "real" setting.......and, that part was GREAT.........I also get a chance to block some NEW Rush/Conservative-haters from ever being able to post on any of my vids! Thanks! (Over 1,700 on my block list....adding to it everyday.)

God bless Rush Limbaugh and all of his listeners who understand what the creation of America was all about...FREEDOM! Now, we just have to work on RESTORING all the freedoms we've lost.

[jlmeadows00]

Yea, Rush!!! Thank you for being on the frontlines for freedom, and reminding us what made this country great! God bless you!

[ycuy]

I was there and I was thinking Rush Limbaugh was so inspriring he would make a great President. Thank you Rush Limbaugh for coming to Joplin. And thank you for the best ever tea.

[brian37671]

@ycuy

rush becoming president... never going to happen. he has stated on numerous occasions throughout the years, when asked by callers, that he is "not willing to take the pay cut". so, here's my question to all of those who love the guy: what do you think about the fact that he cares more about his bank account than he does about his country?

if you can answer this question without resorting to infantile name-calling and insults, i'll be doubly impressed!

[ycuy]

@brian37671 I heard on the radio today that he donated one hundred thousand dollars to the Joplin tornado relief effort. Plus he came to Joplin on his free time with a semi truck full of ice cold tea had people there to unload it and give it to us for free. I think he even compensated local merchants that would of been there selling drinks. That is caring for ones country.

[brian37671]

@ycuy

that's all well and good, except:

1. it's free advertising for him (which means more money for him... as if the guy needs more money... he has more money than could ever be spent in 50 lifetimes)

2. he was preaching to the converted. those people would cut off their hands if he told them to. look, all i'm saying is... why don't people (conservative, liberal, libertarian, democrat, republican, etc) think for themselves? why must they be willingly spoon fed propaganda?

[qpwillie]

@brian37671

So, since you have determined he has more money than he needs, I guess he should just stay home and quit helping people. He gave those people truckloads of free tea, paid the other vendors more than they would have made without the free tea and left a large monetary donation. Should he just ask for all that back because you have decided he has too much money?

I can see how a leftist would think a speech about America's greatness would be taken as 'spoon fed propaganda".

[brian37671]

@qpwillie

i'm not a leftist, i'm not anything but a human being on planet earth (you probably think i'm a dirty, smelly hippie now, right?). he DOES spew propaganda, just as olbermann, stewart and all "leftist" commentators do too. as for his "free" tea and donation... he'll write it off on his gargantuan tax return as an "expense".

[qpwillie]

@brian37671

Actually, what I hear is Rush was making a speech about how great America is. Could you point out the parts that you consider propaganda?

[brian37671]

@qpwillie sure, that's easy... the whole thing was propaganda. here's why: if mccain hand been elected/a republican were president, we'd still be in the econimic/political/societal/go­vernental situation we're in now, but rush would be saying how great everything is, while democrats/liberals would be complaining. this is just a fact: if things are crap, rush will find excuses as to why they're not (just as long as a republican is president and rush doesn't have to pay higher taxes).

[qpwillie]

@brian37671

Rush doesn't care much for most Republicans and McCain is one of his least favorites. Maybe, it would help you to trash him if you actually listened to his show. That way, you might know what the hell you were talking about. ... Nope, listening to the Young Turks won't tell you anything accurate.

[qpwillie]

@brian37671

I don't know what Rush will write off. I know he makes large donations that help people who will walk a mile out of their way for a chance to slam, slander and trash him.

[brian37671]

@qpwillie who in the blue hell are the young turks? sounds like a bad 80's new wave band. as for listening to rush's show... uh... i don't think he needs more listeners, higher ratings and/or more money. he's just fine without me. besides, i much prefer to listen to music while driving. and that, my fellow american (no sarcasm intended), is my last reply on this whole topic. feel free to have the last word, happy trails.

[qpwillie]

@brian37671

So you admit that you don't know anything about Rush. You just felt like trashing somebody. Strange hobby.

[MetalDetroit]

@brian37671 Let me guess - you are a liberal.... " As if the guy needs more MONEY" That sums up the difference between conservatives and liberals. A LIBERAL sees: Rush already has enough money - He doesn't need more !! A CONSERVATIVE sees - that Rush is creating JOBS: - Advertising jobs - Shipping and Recieving jobs - Bottling jobs - Marketing jobs - Accounting jobs - Printing jobs - Transportation jobs -

And that sums up why the economy is the toilet - Democrats demonize job creators.

[brian37671]

@MetalDetroit liberal... ?! no, i don't label myself with such silly terms. i'm a human being on planet earth that thinks for myself. i don't open-up wide and swallow all the horseshit that a talking head (left or right) wants to shovel down my throat to sedate me into not questioning ALL the utter nonsense that EVERY politician spews forth. but hey... open-up wide and swallow all that rush can cram in. he loves being treated like a god.

[philz96720]

Rush sounds preachy and condescending. Most of the folks there were probably asking "where's the free tea and the fireworks?" What a narcisistic blowhard.

[mcv47]

@philz96720 No, the narcissistic blowhard, preachy, condescending one would be Barry. Rush is a patriot and a well spoken one. I don't see a teleprompter in sight.

[gonetoworkbbackin5mi]

@philz96720 You don't know Rush. He is the opposite of a narcissist. He gives millions to certain charities, ones that he knows and trusts. You probably don't listen-- typically those who hate him don't listen. I would wager he is a better man than you, without knowing you.

[sweetnovn71]

I am so happy that someone posted this so soon! Thank you! And thank you Rush for being such an inspiration to all of us who listen! God bless you for all you do!

[lsmmama]

What a great speech! Very uplifting, especially for so many who lost everything in Joplin. Thank you, Rush. You're truly a man with a very big heart.

[jackodave]

Raziaar, take off your blinders. Nothing political, just historical and personal. Don't like it? Fine. But just because you have an opinion doesn't make it right.

[Raziaar]

Not political? Bullshit.

[thejimmyzshow]

@Raziaar If you believe this speech is political, then you must believe that Obama is AGAINST THESE THINGS that Limbaugh has said here. Is that the case, Razy?

[thejimmyzshow]

In fact, I'll go so far as to say that if you believe this speech is political, YOU must believe the opposite - that government is the great provider. Just pick any few sentences that Limbaugh speaks, talking about the greatness that is America. You must believe the opposite for this to make you angry. You must believe the opposite if you don't like what Limbaugh said. Very revealing. Thank you for posting your illustrative comment.

[MrOnlinePsychology]

@thejimmyzshow - So by your logic if a left winger stood up on july 4th and praised the government and government programs as the backbone of America then you would have to be on the right to see a political element? ummm how can you think that way..... this was political and in hos own crazy mind - patriotic.

[thejimmyzshow]

@MrOnlinePsychology Anyone who was praising GOVERNMENT... as the backbone of America? LOLOLOLOL That's so preposterously political it's ... You can't be serious. Yours is a sarcastic comment right? Are you joking? Please, tell me you're joking.

[MrOnlinePsychology]

@thejimmyzshow - what i was essentially saying is that you don't have to be some Elite liberal to see that in between the pseudo patriotism was anti government BS - the type you always here from this man and other right wing noise outlets - my point is, if you think that anti government regulation rhetoric during a speech is not political then you dont know what politics is

[thejimmyzshow]

@MrOnlinePsychology If the government has overstepped itself -- and it has -- it's not ANTI government at all. It's about getting the government back to playing the role the Constitution set forth. And because that Constitution belongs to all Americans, it is an apolitical speech.

[MrOnlinePsychology]

@thejimmyzshow - This is going to make you vomit but im not from America... believe it or not is doesn't actually make me any different to you, im from New Zealand, we have a public healthcare system that the majority of people use, and not ONE person on right wing is calling it a "Death panel", because its not. The government has a role to play. to make sure corporations don't control the country, to ensure that people have access to police, education, and healthcare. wheres the takeover?

[thejimmyzshow]

@MrOnlinePsychology Yours might not be set up with 'death panels', but Obama's is.

[MrOnlinePsychology]

@thejimmyzshow - You know whats ironic - is you havnt even read the bill - you have just hered that death panel crap on fox news and from your greedy money loving hero here or maybe Michelle Buchmann, you didnt read the bill and go "you know what, this is a death panel bill" di you - thats why arguing with you is pointless - because the facts of your argument a just comments you have hered from righ wing media

[thejimmyzshow]

@MrOnlinePsychology Yes, I've read those portions that have to do with this, indeed.

[chaumont20]

@MrOnlinePsychology Most Liberals and Progressives are increasingly uneasy with the concept of the 4th of July. I think it must be that pesky Independance thing.

[MrOnlinePsychology]

@chaumont20 - LOL the whole Limbaugh/Bachmann/Palin concept of Liberal = Anti American is weak sauce man

[chaumont20]

@MrOnlinePsychology Most Liberals I have ever known have One Basic Thing in Common, Jealosy. Jealosy of Success, Accomplishment and Achievement and Liberals and Progressives believe that the Successful must be punished. When the American People Finally Understand this Democrats will Finally Receive the 30% of the Vote they Richly Deserve.

[MrOnlinePsychology]

@chaumont20 - buts its not - its just disgust that taxing the rich is toted as "unpatriotic" when ripping off the middle class and the poor to make room for corporate tax cuts is dismissed by the right as being "just what needs to be done" and allowing gay people to marry is somehow redefinition of marriage - Liberals see what the be wide spread corruption and simply want all people to have equal rights, a moderate degree of regulation. and not have Christianity shoved down their throats

[chaumont20]

@MrOnlinePsychology The only people the Liberals and Progressives aren't Jealous of are poor people. Democrats are more than happy to make as many poor people as they can. There are many Middle Class people who Liberals and Progressives are Jealous of also. The Democrats Plan is to Tax their Employers out of existance. Enjoy the next 16 months because the Democrats - Liberals and Progressives are going to get a beatdown of Biblical Proportions.

[MrOnlinePsychology]

@chaumont20 - im not from America - you can elect the most are hardcore redneck you hicks can find. Im from New Zealand

[chaumont20]

@MrOnlinePsychology This started out about Limbaugh and you've probably never even heard one show. Why are you here ?

[Raziaar]

@thejimmyzshow Must be shitty seeing things in black and white all the time. "With us or against us" mentality must get tiring after a while.

[thejimmyzshow]

@Raziaar I see I nailed it - I usually do.

[shellymic]

@thejimmyzshow Ha ha!  Great comments........all of them! :)

[Raziaar]

@thejimmyzshow You nailed it? Because people negative voted a comment according to their own ideology? What kind of stupid crap is that? You nailed it? Yeah, you nailed it alright.

[thejimmyzshow]

@Raziaar Yes, I nailed it, about YOU. I've got your number. I exposed you for the kind of person you are and the insane things you believe. Limbaugh wasn't political. It only SOUNDS political because you are so anti-America!! We know you're kind! You can't hide anymore! This is not your country, it is OURS!

[Raziaar]

@thejimmyzshow You're a moron. This country isn't YOURS. It's both of ours. I'm American and I was born in this country which makes me American. I am not anti-american just because you say I am anti-american, so cut the bullshit and your elitist "real-american" attitude. It's tiring and nobody but those who also subscribe to your stupid views respect it.

[thejimmyzshow]

@Raziaar Of course it is our country. Read the Declaration of Independence and The US Constitution. It was July the 4th yesterday and you don't even know what our country is about. This country in no way belongs to you and people like you. You are not DESERVING of this nation! You ARE anti-American! Or..... wait. Are you saying now you AGREE with Limbaugh?

[Raziaar]

@thejimmyzshow And furthermore, I haven't detailed anything about my views. You are simply extrapolating bullshit based on what you perceive my post to mean. You instantly paint me as some sort of enemy because I denied the declaration that this speech had no shred of politics in it. Life must be shitty if you see enemies everywhere around you based on the slightest things they say. You have my number based on youtube comments? How naive can you be?

[chaumont20]

@Raziaar Why do you think this was a political speech and do you believe that the Celebration of the 4th of July is a Right Wing event ?

[Raziaar]

@chaumont20 Why would I think the 4th of July is a Right Wing event? It's an American event. I love the 4th of july and celebrate it every year. It's Rush fucking Limbaugh. Nothing comes out of that man's mouth that isn't political. He's currently shilling god damn tea that is all about how liberals suck ass. Give me a fucking break.

[chaumont20]

@Raziaar If you listened to his speech, what did you find in it that was political ? How does the Brand Two if by Tea suggest that Liberals " suck ass " ?

[Raziaar]

@chaumont20 Have you even gone to his twoifbytea website? "The Liberals are coming, the Liberals are coming." The whole premise that Liberals are like the British is the whole theme of his tea line, which is only promulgated further on the 4th of July.

[chaumont20]

@Raziaar With all the Palin and Bachman jokes that Liberals laugh at and now your going to try to be offended by " the Liberals are coming, the Liberals are coming " Please, LOL

[MrOnlinePsychology]

@Raziaar - your right - these knuckle head red necks have the idea that if you think anti government hate speech is not political then you MUST be one of those 'commie' 'libs' etc - i tried telling one of them that what if a PRO government speech was given by a liberal, would that not be political either? and not surprisingly the guy didnt have a logical reply

[overthehillrockon]

Great Post, we need to hear more of this kind of thinking, Thank You Rush

[digitalwasabi2]

Awesome! Love you Rush, and love you, Joplin!

[craig420]

God Bless you all!!!

[queenjdh23]

thank for the post. That was fast. Hope you were able to enjoy the tea.

[onamissionfromgod]

Thank you for posting! I just put a link up on Sean Hannity's forum for you.

[BlackGoldMotorsports]

thanks for posting! please post more of this event if you have it. thanks.
