  • I find this whole argument ironic. They claim people will now have to wait for a heart transplant and do nothing while you die. It's irony because they do that now! These hospitals that act more like business already do that! Then you have these right wing wackos defending them!

  • These idiots are dangerous...And they call themselves Christians, makes me wonder.

  • but guys! think of how many mouths all those old people will feed!

  • LOL! that made me laugh irl man, bravo

  • What is more frightening, the babblings of Limbaugh, or the fact that some people actually believe what he says?

    There is an almost cult like atmosphere in the US where crazies are listening to fools.

  • Unfortunately, with all due respect, you and others who think the way you do are the ones listening to babblers and fools. What they're saying is not off the wall and definitely NOT hate. There is a precedent in history for it. According to Helen Thomas, this administration trys to manipulate information in a way that even the Nixon administration wouldn't have done. Start looking a little closer and please take a history course. You will start to see some patterns emerge.

  • I disagree. Limbaugh is a big mouth with no education. Most of what he says is pure crap.

    And by the way, I know history better than most.

  • Whats wrong with rationing? With scarce resources surely its common sense to prioritise cancer patients over say egotistic plastic surgery. Thats why us Brits have a planned healthcare system. As the market will only allocate resources to the wealthy first. BTW my nan has had bowel cancer removed. And my Grandad his knee done. Both are well into their seventies. All done on the NHS. So please cut this scaremongering crap about the old being chosen by 'faceless bureaucrats' for early death.

  • I don't think this is hate. It is (sorry to say) alot of truth. Wait till you get what your asking for America, you'll be sorry.

  • 1950-60's Soviet Russia is the exteme of uncontrolled communism. Current day America is the extreme of uncontrolled Capatalism. You must have moderation for both or else the system will fail.

    Think about it!

  • soviet russia was a capitalist state run by bureaucrats.... that was not communism my good sir

  • You have straaaaange definitions. "Soviet" actually means "Communist".

  • You have misinformed definitions (typical nonthinking american). "Soviet" means "council." Soviets were representative councils that were directly elected by workers and soldiers, in which every candidate was subject to instant recall.

  • this fools doing everything they can to prove they aint racist and are doing a fucking terrible job at it. if anything their racism is just budding out of the subliminal. it aint as subtle as it used to be some of these ignorant people calling everyone else snobs need to check themselves. or the people should check them. broadcast airwaves are legally public space, which mean we have control of what they be sending over them. we got to regulate before these racists instigate. haha.

  • I didn't see anything in this video that wasn't true. Everything they've said about healthcare is true. And that scares me.

  • you should go ahead and kill yourself then

  • I'm a teenager, so I'll probably wait until I'm elderly. The elderly's care will be rationed because they're going to die sooner anyway, throw human rights and morals out the window.

    I am a Christian so my views on this would differ from, say, an atheist's or agnostic's views.

  • "two minutes hate" is a concept taken from the book 1984 in which both BIG BROTHER(FEAR) and Emmanuel Goldstien(Hope) were both instruments of the state used to control the polar nature of the citizenry.

    two sides of the same coin.

    The state also induced its own terrorist attacks against the people and blamed it on an imaginary group.

    but you guys cant put the puzzle together.

    fuckers.

  • Susan, how is Rush Limbaugh dangerous? He's only a radio talk show host. Obama on the other hand is extremely dangerous because he has the power to make changes to health care, auto, financial, and insurance industries that would take decades to undo the damage he has already done and plans to do. BTW what country do you live in where your health care is so much better than in the US? Like I said, I know many people from Canada and the UK that would switch health care with the US in a heartbeat.

  • Swampass you are so far from independent thinking, you would have to pull your head so far out of Rushes ass, it would take so long to do that that you would forget whatever "independent" thought was in your right wing pea brain.

  • Oh my goodness: re, 1:17-1:30, but especially the first few seconds of that part. I sure hope that's just hyperbole or the result of a quote being taken out of its context. Because I could also go into equally frightening hyperbole of where those kinds of statements of (possibly) fear might lead to, but there's no sense in me getting all riled up and afraid over some talk radio snippets.

  • I don't understand why this video is called "The Two Minutes Hate" I didn't hear anyone who commented on this video use hate speech, only give their opinion on the current political topics of the day. I happen to agree that knowing several people from Canada and the UK that much of what was said is true whether you like the way they said it or not.

    BTW your subject line should have read "The Two Minutes *OF* Hate". When you start a controversial subject you should have a coherent subject line.

  • You've obviously never read "1984". Several people from Canada and the UK don't make it true, either.

  • Read a book.

    More specifically, read 1984

  • what they said about the older people treatment here is true...it's true in Europe today. Even liberals admit it....they were talking about it on Real time with Bill Maher (my fav. political show)....i'm an independent thinker.

  • because private insurance never denies people coverage....? yah...right.

  • Thats right.

    The question is: WHO is going to RATION your health care?

    An elected government servant, working with a board of doctors? Who can be unelected if we dont like his decisions?

    Or a private corporate profit maker, who cares only about making the most money he can, and is completely unaccountable to the people?

  • Would not the 'private' option be the way for folks to get care that cannot be made available to them through the 'public' option? Politics is killing America.

  • obama-care will increase the American people's responsibility for their own health.

  • I am sure glad I listen to this now I know the truth about this health care plan thank you so much

  • There is one thing that Rush and friends are ignoring. PEOPLE ARE ROUTINELY DENIED CARE FROM PRIVATE INSURANCE! They love to talk about how Obama's plan will kill old people but ignore the fact that private insurers have clearly beaten him to it.

  • Where do these people honestly come up with the idea that the President of the United States wants to kill old people? They're projecting again. The idea that the Democrats wouldn't treat old people because they're not worth the effort is what they would do if they were running such a program. They've come up with this idea themselves and are projecting again.

    'If you die in the wait for bypass, too bad.' Well if that happens with private insurance don't they just say the same thing?

  • "Where do these people honestly come up with the idea

    "Page 425 of the health care bill. READ IT!

    "The Congressional Health Care Bill mandates by law "euthanasia counseling" (!) for all those persons on Social Security.( every 5 yrs)

    The bill will lead to the pushing of suicide upon all seriously ill, handicapped, and elderly. Medical Suicide will save money by cutting medical care for the elderly and seriously ill."

  • Is that why in countries like Sweden why euthanasia is legal, the seriously ill and elderly quickly get conned into dying quickly? Oh wait. That#s not true. It doesn't hapen.

  • Rush apparently thinks being White = Racist. Good to know. 2:02

  • Funny how these nazi creeps from the GOp talk about euthanasia. If you look at life expectancy, you will realize that within the countries with national health care ( SOCIALIZED MEDICINE how these idiots call it) , people live loinger than in the US

  • Man, Media Matters is the chillest fuckin media scanner out there

  • They say that the government will get in the way of the patient and their drs. They say that they will be denied certain treatments and medicines. What they DON'T tell you is that they are describing our current health care system with the private insurance companies. They are just trying to make it sound like Obama is the one who will do all this when its already being done right now.

  • Exactly! Like insurers aren't denying treatments and medicines now?! It's been documented how their claims departments are directed and rewarded for denying claims. I just marvel at how these people live with themselves spouting off this bile over the airways every day - the lies, the racism, terrifying the elderly and inciting the ignorant. How dead do you have to be inside to willingly swim in all that negativity day in and day out? And what does it say that they have such a big audience?

  • I don't need Media Matters to tell me that Rush is an idiot all I have to do is ask people who listen to him and they can tell me he's full of shit I know one parson who thinks he and Fox News is full of shit and he is against Obama

  • Deranged and demented senior citizens are the only people who listen to these douche-bgas.

  • I wish that were true but unfortunately they actually have a very wide audience.

  • Hmm denying old people coverage because they think that it won't be worth the investment, who does that sound like? OH YA, the private insurance companies. And if "Obamacare" turns out to be this bad do these guys know they don't have to take it? It is called the public OPTION for a reason. If it is as bad as they say then people won't use it and stick with private insurance, and the ones that didn't have it before can use the public option and be that much better off. I fail to see the downside

  • You guys should use the segment w/ Jon Stewart and Bill Kristol, I thought you guys would be on that by now...

  • These people are insane.

  • Didn't Rush just call himself a racist by that last remark?

  • Why don't you replay the video until you understand what he said?

  • As uncomfortable as these two minute pieces are that MMFA is putting out, it makes me even more uncomfortable that it's only two minutes.

    Think about it.

    How much more is not in these segments?

  • Think about it. Why do you need Media Matters to filter what you hear. Why not tune in to the source and listen to it unfiltered. That way you won't be influenced by Media Matters' bias.

  • I actually do listen to that idiot Rush.. and there is nothing being filtered.. in fact it is just more and more of this filth.. and it keeps getting worse everyday... That is how I know Obama is on the right track because that fat Pig Rush is scared to death... after all if Obama is a success what will Rush talk about? How will he show his face again.. of course he has to get crazy he is out to save his own ass.

  • Rush right now is the leading spokesperson for the opposition to the Democrats in America. He is successfully destroying Obama's health reform plan. If you want to view that as crazy or idiotic, that's your choice. I'm sure Obama is looking at Rush as a careful, calculated, highly intelligent, dangerous and difficult opponent. At least he should be.

  • I have listened to Rush consistently. MMFA only filters out 2 minutes because they don't have 3 hours. Three hours of misrepresentation, environmental illiteracy, and refusal to listen to any other viewpoint except his own and his dittoheads. In short, Rush Limbaugh is the exact kind of monopoly that he rails against when talking about "those Lib-rolls".

  • Rush Limbaugh is a politician who is maintained in his position by having high ratings on his show. He does not run for office. His influence comes directly from his show and it's effect on his listeners. Does Obama feature other viewpoints when he makes his presentations? Why should Rush?

  • I don't want to waste my time. I find Limbaugh an awful and dangerous demagogue. The reason he makes so much money is that he is the advertisers dream. Anyone who believes what he says is so incredibly gullible that they are total suckers and will potentially buy anything..

  • If you don't like Rush, don't listen to him. Your radio has a tuner knob. You can tune into something else. However, don't assume that because somebody believes in something you don't believe in or likes something or somebody that you don't like, that that makes them gullible or stupid. Besides, opposition to the government is healthy.

  • No thanks. He really put me off with that mocking of Michael J. Fox's Parkinson's symptoms. That was just mean and not part of a healthy debate on the subject of stem cell research (which I can appreciate that he disagreed with Fox on this subject and even his criticism of Fox's use of his illness for his cause -- but mocking him. Not the sign of big intellect or ethical behavior). I admit that I don't find right wing analysis very compelling either.

  • cause a fat, racist, drug addicted, college drop-out who fucks underage hookers in haiti is totaly someone you want to get information from, am i rite?

  • What an excellent response. So thought provoking....

  • I am on the right but even I think Rush is just a little out there.

  • a little?!!!

  • Just a litte, yes (not being sarcastic).

  • Under Obama-care you won't be allowed access to 30 oxycontin a day! The end is near, folks! Grab your shotguns!

  • HAHAHAHA

  • Rush is so lucky to have gold plated health care. Good for him. Congrats. Please stop trying to block other peoples' access to decent care. Please stop. Let us try, let us fail, let us improve.

  • Obama's socialized medicine isn't going to happen. His whole approach is so weak and so disorganized that the big pharmaceuticals are about to kill it entirely. Obama is just about out of gas and the billionaires now running health care are just getting warmed up. These billionaires have been pulling down hundreds of billions in profits yearly and they are not about to give all that up to a bunch of government bureaucrats.

  • Oh Jesus. They are trying to scare people to death about a health care plan with the name public option.... Its called public option for a reason. ITS AN OPTION. You don't have to use it.

    How can anybody be scared by an option?

    Anybody who buy into their fear mongering is an idiot anyways.

  • All these excerpts sound very unpatriotic to me.

    Why do conservatives hate America so much?

  • ok, so let's see, we have people not getting service from companies, getting cut off, hmmmmm care over the ill vs the cost that cuts into profit

  • Prof. Gates and President Obama ARE definitely smarter than Mr. Limbaugh et. al.

  • Don't be so sure. Obama's health care plan is about to go down in flames because Obama doesn't really know what he's doing. Gates too isn't too bright. It's clear he lied about what happened on the porch. This has been shown by the 911 tapes. Obama backed up his little big mouth friend. Obama's so smart he forgot he's the chief law enforcement officer in the USA.

  • Because we don't deserve health care? We are second class citizen's now?

  • It's going down in flames because Obama is too disorganized. The billionaires running Health Care aren't just going to roll over and let Obama come in and put an end to their hundreds of billions of dollars in obscene profits which they pull down each year. They don't care whether we deserve health care or not or whether we are second class citizens or not. It's all about money.

  • Wrong! Obama is the first one who isn't gonna bend over and let the rich people and pharma continue to hold the rest of us hostage.. He is going to stand up to them no matter what it takes and get this done. The Republicans on the other hand are all lined up and bent over right now.

  • No he isn't. He's going to cave in once the billionaires of the health care industry get their campaign to end his reform of health care under way. It won't be long now. You heard it here first.

  • oh please. He can't get your health care fixed and that makes him stupid. You Americans are your own worst enemies when it comes to health care. No one could get that through what with all the lies and scare stories told by the conservative media. Especially by your hero that pompous blowhard Limbaugh and his bipolar friend Beck.

  • He can't fix health care because he's taken hundreds of millions in campaign contributions from operatives representing forces who don't want it fixed. The largest contributors to the Democratic Party and the Obama campaign are the trial lawyers. Now, given that malpractice insurance is a major cause of soaring health care costs in America, do the trial lawyers want Obama to get in the way of their gold mine? No, they don't and they've got him and the Democratic Party in their pockets

  • Laura Ingraham is a liar, and Savage is a crazy fuckhead... why does anyone take them seriously?

  • Because they grew up with it.

    A UK study showed only 1 in 12 kids grow up to leave their parents religion.

    It's a meme. To bad it's not awsm.

  • "It's going to be useless"

    "It's going to be too good for private insurers to compete"

    "It's going to be too expensive"

    "They're going to try and save money"

    Pick one and go with it -.-

  • Why?

    They got away with Kerry being called both a left-wing fanatic and also an indecisive flip-flopper.

    Self-contradiction never got in their way before now.

  • These people make my fucking brain hurt. I don't know if they could pay me enough money to lie like Limbaugh does. I don't think I could do it with a straight face and be able to sleep at night.

  • What's scary is ppl slurp that crazy shit up like it's gospel...i don't understand, I think these ppl don't believe in evolution because they haven't evolved. It's such BLATANT propaganda that it's laughable, but some believe it unquestionably

  • You know, at some point I'm expecting any of these neoconservatives to just give up and start saying yelling random scary words to get their listeners riled up...since that's all it takes now apparently.

  • It's important to understand that these people know that Americans of today don't fundamentally know what socialism is, and the reason why the Republicans use the term is for it's negative connotations. If the electorate were more informed by our "liberal" media, we wouldn't have this issue and Limbaugh and his likes would've been out of a job decades ago.

  • the socialist boogie man is going to force you to care about your fellow Americans how dare he?

  • LoL If I were a conservative, this would be about the time I'd tell you to git off mah lawn or I'll shootcha! LoL

  • My GOD! Where do these right-wing whack jobs come up with this baloney?! Do they come in and they think it up as they go along?! President Obama LOVED his Grandma, and to say that he threw her under the bus is absolutely DESPICABLE! These right-wing nutcases are the REASON we need the fairness doctrine back!

  • Obama's grandma loved him and put him through years and years of elite, expensive private schools. Then, when Obama was under heavy fire for his close relationship with his racist preacher in Chicago, he said his "white grandma" was racist and he loved her too. So it was OK for him to love Wright, in other words. Thereby, saving Obama's career. That's called throwing his grandma under the bus. She loved him and he threw her to the wolves.

  • He never said she was racist. That's a lie.

  • You're right.  He said she was a "typical white person" which is a racist statement. My bad. Obama is the racist.

  • Ummm Okay... OR he was just telling the truth. Many older white folks are racists. Obama's faith is strong and one thing he seems to take seriously is Love Thy Neighbor as You do Thy Self. That is why he treats people with dignity and respect regardless of their views and differences. He is man who practices what he preaches and I for one like that. We need more men of his caliber. I think his overall character is what saved his career.

  • She was not like Reverend Wright--a public figure who was comfortable dealing with the media. She was a private figure--a little old lady dying of cancer. For him to inject her in her remaining days into the filth of his political problems is not treating his grandmother with respect or dignity. He smeared her to cover his own ass.

  • who the hell believes this shit? euthanasia for the elderly? how can anyone take this seriously

  • I have to wonder how the people who listen to these guys seriously can function in a society. I mean getting out of the bed, reading - that kind of stuff.

  • Holy shit. They're just going to keep getting worse and worse. I'm starting to rethink my opposition to a "fairness doctrine." :X

  • Rush, the other talk radio propagandists, the birthers, Fox and the rest will not be happy until some nut kills Obama. They are trying to incite an assassination.

  • It's only hate if you oppose any of Master Obama's proposals. It's real intelligence when attacking Sarah Palin. Obama is a freaking fraud.

  • "...Every aspect of our lives will be regulated?" Seriously, did being a Republican always mean saying ridiculously stupid shit?

  • if the government cant run healthcare without a big beurocricy why do we let them run healthcare for our soldiers?don't our soldiers deserve the best healthcare available ?what is that you say they already have it but the government runs that i thought you said the government was incapable of running a functioning healthcare system i feel lied to.

  • LoL As a former vet, I really enjoyed having "socialized" healthcare. Honestly, everything about our military is "socialist", to use their term. If these hacks were truly "free-market" then they'd be fighting for a private, state by state, contracted military force, not a centralized, government-run operation like we have now...

  • they were not describing obama care they are describing the current system replace the government with the insurance companies and they are describing exactly what goes on today where insurance companies make decisions based on the bottom line not on a persons medical needs.the military gets government run healthcare and their system is pretty good why cant we all just get what they have?

  • Booga Booga - Run for the hills - we must safeguard the million dollar salaries Executives at costs!

  • how much money do you think the 'parasite class", i.e trial lawyers are making with ridiculous actions against doctors?

    it's in the many billions, and climbing

    why not propose Tort Reform to reduce costs?

    oh i know, lord obama is a lawyer, his wife is a lawyer, ....AND the trial lawyers have the strongest lobby in DC

    Ha!!!

    so much for changing the way Washington operates!!!!

  • listen insurence companies are letting people die we tried the public sector for healthcare and they have proven time and time again that money is worth more than american lives to them it is time to stop driving on the rims and throw a fresh set of tires on this puppy .this experiment is a total failure .pay me or die. what? no i dont care pay me or i let you die. how immoral is this country these are the same people trying to outlaw abortions and calling themselves right to life.pay me or die.

  • The right would like to cut care to everyone but the rich. Limbaugh should talk about pills. He has certainly took enough and he is the biggest racist pig in the U"S

  • Is Rush an even bigger racist than Reverend Jeremiah Wright? I don't think so.

  • Well than you are wearing your bedsheets again. put the torch and the cross down and back away. Rev. Wright is a reaction to racial profiling, slaves, selling of slaves, etc. Rush is a big fat asshole that spouts endless hours of propoganda for the rich to keep slaves in their place - probably you too you idiot.

  • Nice justification for racism, there, idiot. You're the kind who keeps racism alive for our grandkids to deal with. Good work.

  • I don't have too - you and rush make sure they get to experience it.  Here's a thought: Why don't you and Ruch go back to where you came from. You came over here stole and killed the First People and their lands. You kidnapped and raped Africans and made them work as slaves for you cause you all are tooo LAZY to work. So go home and don't let the door hit your ass on the way out.

  • Your problem is you don't know what racism is. You don't see racism as a problem unless Black people are victimized. That's why you don't see Reverend Jeremiah Wright as the racist he so clearly is. So you are either a racist yourself and thus unqualified to judge the racism of others including Rush OR you're ignorant. Either way, I'm not going to take your complaints seriously. Life is too short.

  • I know what racism is and I know that you have no idea. When all they see is the color of your skin - when you can not get a promotion because you not white enough. When white people with no education get a promotions but you don't even with a college degree.

  • Actually, your view of racism is when Blacks are unfairly impacted by some policy or rule. When Whites are impacted unfairly you see that as justice and fairness. And in your view, a vicious racist like Reverend Wright is a hero. Nobody likes unfair treatment based on skin color. Even White people don't like it, even though everybody knows White people's lives are really easy. They don't have to work and money magically appears in their purses and wallets.

  • Cha-Ching! Makin' the Savage bucks! Loser.

  • Well the Wright is just a man that is fed up - he doesn't have the power to really hurt people on a large scale like the white supremist have. It is not only blacks, it is native americans, mexicans. It is any body that is not in the link of power - Look at Nazi Germany - then you will see how far your ugly descrimination and racism and greed go - is it pretty?

  • Look at Rwanda. Millions slaughtered in black on black violence. You see, blacks are people and people have the power to really hurt people on a large scale. So when you are excusing the racist Jeremiah Wright, you're on the same side as the white supremacists.

  • What? When have white people had to go to the back of the bus? When have white people not gotten promoted or hired because they were white? How many rich people are white? vs how many Native Americans, africans, mexicans, etc. These rich white bastards are the ones that outsource jobs, took all that stimulus money - Haliburton charges our soldiers $7.50 for a can of coke in Iraq. Just tell me how poor white people have it? Maybe it is not their color of skin but their color of greed.

  • Many whites suffered job discrimination in earlier days. For instance, there was tremendous anti Catholic bigotry in the 1800's in America and the principle victims were Italian and Irish immigrants with white skin. Perhaps you should open a history book now and then?

  • Oh and what about Rev. Wright and the people held in the concentration camps? Is that comfort to them? If you hate racism in any form, do you heal anything by excusing what has been done? Our real solution is to take out the power of bulls and hit and shine the light of truth. Like when Haliburton charges our soldiers - which are mainly poor, mainly minorities $7.50 per can of coke take the CEO and cheney and charge them 7 trillion dollars for the defense of their free market + their lives.

  • No you ration those who's health problems are not terminal or life threatening.

    Man these right-wing folks are lying through their teeth. They know NOTHING of Canada's Health care system and if they DO know they're LYING to the American people.

  • They do know, and they're lying.

  • Man, it's getting to the point where I have to mentally prepare myself before listening to these every few days. Maybe I should just stop, but I feel like I should be following what the right-wingers say... painful.

  • consilience:

    i know! it hurts to listen, but i tell myself it's important to know. it's beginning to wear me out, though.

  • Why not listen to them yourself.  Why do you need to have it filtered by Media Matters? You can't think for yourself?

  • Electango, you seem to honestly believe that these two minutes are atypical.

    They aren't, and you know it.

    You really need to face up to what's being said and not deny it.

  • They are mild and tame compared to the racist rantings of Jeremiah Wright. And Obama sat in the pews of Jeremiah Wright's church for 20 years and never spoke out against Wright's racist, crackpot ideology. No, you and Obama only want to silence speech that is critical of Obama.

  • (Rolling eyes) Nice try.

    I'll be sure to look up Jeremiah Wright on all the cable news stations and talk shows for you, but I believe he has yet to host a single one.

    Honestly, you right-wingers can't stand to stay on the subject at hand, can you?

    You are free to bring up Obama's church-going practices on another blog if you'd like, but you are not on the Sean Hannity show where you can change subjects in midstream to to "justify" your preposterous views.

  • You cannot take 30 seconds out of a three hour long radio show and say that that distills the three hours. It's funny how you Stalinists get all bent out of shape when Glenn Beck calls Obama a racist and want him fired, but it doesn't bother you all that Obama sat for 20 years in Reverend Jeremiah Wright's pews as he ranted on with one racist rant after another. And now this man Obama who shares Wright's racist extremist views is our President.
