Rush Limbaugh on Hannity (4 of 4): Liberals, Muslim World Speech and Michelle Obama

[Juells87]

IVE NEVER HEARD ANYBODY ACTUALY COME OUT AND SAY ( ITS WAS WRONG ).>>>>> 10 stars plus My vote either Running, Or Walking.

[Hartatttack420]

Rush is always right.

[delenebost]

Get real.  He is a fat, balding American big mouth. Rich too. Who listens to anyone that does not look like a movie star? America is shallow. He fits none of the definitions of great in this country. Tell him to shut up.

[isNOTrael]

If i was an African American I would take these two bitches, hanity and limbaugh(with his fake ear) and make them my fucking slaves.

I would then water board them and ask who did 911. I WILL BET A MILLION DOLLARS they would both confess...

BUSH AND CHENEY and ISRAEL

[gombis666]

So, US segregation policy wasnt mean to minorities?

[cobcon]

A nation that has a multitude of religious denominations and non-believers counted amoung it's demographics, would be the correct term. A "Christian Nation" however implies a state endorsed religion, and therefore as everyone can comprehend, is antithetic towards the the ideals of the constitution.

[mjale1]

since when this cunt became expert in political issues why the fuck they even asking questions of this retard is it Because He is the Voice of Majority of US People?

[ssingh813]

that is the reason why america is a free republic nation, not a democracy, which our founders knew that democracy never succeeds. our laws are defined by our core values and principles. conservatism is what the framers believed in and is still to be continued for this country to exist for the oncoming ages. the constitution was drafted to keep limits on government, protect citizens and residents, and keep the government out of churhces and other places of worship.

[ssingh813]

let me make something clear: that yes indeed this country was founded by the revolutionists were mostly christian. the declaration of independence includes wording picked up from the bible. the majority of the country has been and still follows christianity. our founding fathers, however, respected and allowed all existing religions and faiths to be practiced and followed by choice as prescribed in our godly influence constitution. the reason was that the britain's regime allowed only one faith.

[dagrampster]

Two certified assholes

[Catinjungle]

Rush said some things most don't like to admit. The "state run" media will not challenge Obama or any top liberal on anything. The fact is, the liberal teachers at our institutions, the media, socialist polititians will all want you to think America was, and is evil. We have a guilt trip syndrome, we must undo what we have, it must have been done on the backs of slaves - slaves before Abe Lincoln ended it, up to the modern day slavery of the poor. Guilty! they say. And the liberals lure you in.

[MrFreeLibertarian]

How is Rush Limbaugh a bigot? I have been listening for a long time and I have yet to hear any reasonable case for that. As a conservative, we base our opinions on facts. What facts do you have to support you accusations? I am positive you cannot support that. I know liberals call names without facts and that's what they do but as a conservative you need to offer some facts or admit your talking out of your ass.

[davisadministration]

This is the first time ever that I've heard Rush Limbaugh speak and actually thought he was making sense. I'm a black conservative who politically, agrees with almost everything Rush Limbaugh says but I've always hated him as a person because I feel he's rude, disrespectful, and an outright bigot. The Rush Limbaugh in this video is a guy that I can begin to like.

[KenElizabeth1824]

you say you're a black conservative. can I ask you if those "racist quotes" floating around that were supposedly said by Limbaugh are true..I don't listen to him but all I ever hear is that he's a racist

[rightwingrocks]

@davisadministration im a conservative as well so i would pry agree with you politically on most things. But you said rush was a bigot but hes far from one and thats were i have to disagree with you.

And if he is you point out one thing he said that made you think he was a bigot?

[WorldIslamicOrder]

Fuck these bastards.

[Greywyn7]

I'm no fan of either, but keep your shitty customs yourself please.

[WorldIslamicOrder]

What customs are those?

[Greywyn7]

Sharia law, subjugation of women, pedophilia, fairy tales (we have enough, thanks), Jihad, censorship, lack of free speech, lack of deodorizers, etc...

[lozr0ckz]

that's the problem, we are a "christian nation", we can't be a christian nation, as it is clearly against the establishment clause. conservatives take pride in protecting and following the constitution to the last period, however, by stating that we are a christian nation goes against that. you can't have a free country if you have a single religion to describe your nation.

[LandofDaFree]

Huh. Then I guess Obama is against the establishment clause too since he said we're a Muslim nation.

[lozr0ckz]

He said that? sorry i'm not too up to date with politics. if he did, then yes he would be against the establishment clause. maybe we should get an atheist as a president...oh wait no, they would just violate the establishment clause too by forcing their religion of atheism on to the government.

[Transplanar]

Way to quote mine!

He said: "For we know that our patchwork heritage is a strength, not a weakness. We are a nation of Christians and Muslims, Jews and Hindus - and non-believers."

Misconstruing that as saying we're a Muslim nation is absurd and total bullshit. You're no better than the partisan hackjobs on Fox.

[Transplanar]

correction, I assume you mean this: "And one of the points I want to make is, is that if you actually took the number of Muslims Americans, we'd be one of the largest Muslim countries in the world"

He's obviously using Muslim Country in the sense of a country with Muslims in it, not a coutry run by Sharia law, which is obvious... since we don't live under Sharia law.

Besides, even if he was serious and it was true, how would that be a bad thing?

[LandofDaFree]

Muslims make up 0.6% of our population. Sharia Law and Muslim philosophy had virtually no influence on the founding of our country. His statement was simply factually inaccurate.

Instead of just saying "correction" I believe the appropriate phrase you are looking for is "I'm sorry" and that it was wrong of you to say you're "no better than the partisan hackjobs of Fox".

[Transplanar]

My original comment was a mistake, I admit.

But the point still stands. You can argue that his choice of words was poor, but somehow insinuating that he has plans to impose Sharia law on the United States or that this is a peak at some sort of nefarious plot in the making is still bullshit.

[LandofDaFree]

It's great that you think a point I didn't make is "bullshit". Thanks for sharing.

[Transplanar]

I wasn't talking about *you're* point, but Limbaugh and other Fox News guys points and insinuations about it. I assume since you seem to be endorsing what they are saying in this clip that you are on board with their ideas. Am I wrong?

If he made a statement that may be technically incorrect for the sake of reaching out to the Muslim world, why freak out about it?

[Greywyn7]

He's just trying to appease the Muslims; don't take it personally.

[asalmog]

I believe that when Limbaugh sais that the United States is a Christian nation, he means it was founded upon Christian prinbiples, and not that adherence to Christianity should be compulsory or anything of the sort. I personally am an atheist, but I think it would be unfair to paint Limbaugh and Coulter and the likes as if they would want any sort of religious compulsion in America.

[lozr0ckz]

hmm. that's true. it's possible what you said is true.

[Greywyn7]

It wasn't even based off "Christian principles". It was based off common sense that Christianity (along with every other religion on earth) tries to attribute to itself and itself alone.

[chrileboy]

@lozr0ckz wrong! a country has to have a religious identity, if it doesn't then its religion is "ipso facto" atheistic agnostic 

[eberscore00]

we r not a christian nation

we are a free religion nation

[fomoco13]

Oduma is an idiot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!

[gdq106]

Baggin on michelle Obama for saying she wasn't proud to be an american for the 8 years bush was in office.....LOL. The majority of the country was embarassed to travel overseas, and hopeful for the first time in 8 years because bush was out of office. If you follow the thinking of people like hannity and limbaugh you belong to a minority demographic that is shrinking by the minute. Hate on "liberals" or as i like to call them,progressive thinkers,all u want but this country is moving forward

[phillipmarch22]

Good point gdq! bush couldn't put a complete sentence together. And when he did, it sounded something like this: I wouldn't mind if America was a Dictatorship if I could be the Dictator. Good God! I am with Sykes, I hope his kidneys fail. But, being hooked on opiates, his liver is more likely to fail. His skin will turn yellow! I love that color, don't you? Sorry, that is kinda mean, but check out what Rush said about Michael J. Fox. Good God! The video is on YouTube!

[phillipmarch22]

Oh, another thing gdq106. Look up the word liberal in the dictionary. One of the meanings is "open minded". That is the way I was raised, that is the way I raised my daughter, and she is raising my Grandchildren the same way. These close minded xenophobic fucks are on the extinct list! God Speed!

[arabrockerman]

Lol thank god they are shrinking minority. All this bitching about national health car and it only cost 1/4 as much as the war on Iraq and Afghanistan have so far. We could have fixed all the highways and bridges and paid for national healthcare CHEAPER than some pointless wars. Hell I think with simple drones and sattlittes we could have caught that bastard Osama.

[NegroChiflado]

I wasnt.

[p3snooper]

A coupla total jerk-offs stroking each other.

[darrellmellissa]

You the jerk,a jerky snooper

[p3snooper]

Limbaugh is an asshole, Hannity is a fool.

Pox News employs totally incompetent morons.

You must work there.

[darrellmellissa]

What is it like to ignore the truth. What do you see in that hole in the sand?

[p3snooper]

I see you and people who look like you buried deep, far from the light.

Limbaugh is a useless tub of lard, and Hannity is a complete moron.

Pox News employs only the stupidest of the stupid.

[darrellmellissa]

now Dont you fell better,now that you got all of these lies out of your mind.

[p3snooper]

Limbaugh, Hannity, Bill O, Pox News --- all scum of the Earth.

The only scum worse is the far right wing fringe ultra neocon nutjobs: Cheney, Bachmann, Coulter, J. Bush, Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz, Bolton, Libby, and the whole PNAC cabal.

[wowperson26]

we need more people like Rush in this country

[mathfife]

"we helped muslims in Kosovo, Iraq, and uhh uhh elsewhere around the world"...haha. What a joke. Helped? And these guys are against what he said about the expansion in settlements. What lost souls.

[ThaSexyPatriot]

Rushhhhhh....I love him!!! His popularity is at an all time high!

Watched all 4 videos...faved and saved.

5 stars EACH!

[19996669991]

My comment should have read

"can someone point me in the way of a CONSERVATIVE politician or commentator etc etc etc...............

[senorehappy]

these are conservative politicians, according to modern day american politics

[19996669991]

I'd like to make a constructive comment but watching this all I can think is what a lot of shite they talk........kind of like two fat and jealous dinosaurs.........Can someone point me in the way of an American politician or commentator who is serious, intelligent and persuasive 'cause these two are just twats.

[SparklestheClown]

If you really listen to him, he is actually right on! Sometimes I do not agree with him, but these interviews this week were correct!

[MethRattle]

Reports have shown that most people in the world who listened to Obama's speech approved of it. Of course, the speech will be belittled by extremists and "Republicans". Funny how that works out.

[underbird]

Most people in the world are not Americans. Most people in the world don't live in a free country.

[MethRattle]

"Most people in the world are not Americans."

Exactly. So maybe it would be a good idea to start interacting with all those people in a respectful manner, which would be in our own security interests, instead of continuing the previous 8 years of playing bully-of-the-schoolyard. Because no one likes a bully.

[underbird]

Yeah we are the bullies. We aren't the ones flying airplanes into buildings. We aren't the ones stoning people. We aren't the ones cutting off peoples heads in public. We actually allow Islam to be peacefully practiced here in the US. How many Synagogues are in Saudi Arabia? NONE.

[MethRattle]

"We aren't the ones flying airplanes into buildings. We aren't the ones stoning people. We aren't the ones cutting off peoples heads in public."

Neither is MOST of the Muslim world. Same way MOST Americans aren't in favor of staying in Iraq, torturing people, killing abortion providers or listening to Rush Limbaugh/Sean Hannity.

...and "You hit me, so I hit you, your family, your friends, and some of the people just standing nearby" is being a bully.

[RealTreefriend]

THATS Rush Limbaugh? A fat blob of goo. Fat ass needs to do some lifting.

seattlesucksDOTorg

[trauts01]

The redistribution of wealth is not a liberal idea.. just look at the bailout mania begun by Bush.

Lies, damn lies, and americas war on intellectual thought.

[whomod]

But... butt... Bush wasn't a REAL Republican!!! Of course until you actually discuss Bush's policies and realize that not one of these people who deny Bush actually DISAGREE with any of them.

[underbird]

Bush was liberal

[whomod]

Then you had that imbecile (or liar) Megyn Kelly assert on air that Obama not once discussed terrorism in his speech. It's remarkable that the Obama hate runs so high on FOX that they just make up stuff that can easily be refuted with videotape but then again, they know that their dittohead viewers who also hate 24/7, will simply swallow every lie and ask for seconds.

[LandofDaFree]

Megyn Kelly was correct in asserting that Obama did not mention terrorism in his speech. He did not use the words terror, terrorist or terrorism.

You claim that this can be easily refuted with video tape, so please do. Show us where Obama used the words terror, terrorist or terrorism in his Cairo speech.

[whomod]

What you and FOX are doing is using semantics to propagate a LIE. Here's what Obama said:

The 1st issue that we have to confront is violent extremism in all of its forms.

America is not and never will be at war with Islam. We will, however, relentlessly confront violent extremists who pose a grave threat to our security. Because we reject the same thing that people of all faiths reject: the killing of innocent men, women, and children.

So FOX is just pissed he didn't use the word "terror"?

[whomod]

more..

Obama:

none of us should tolerate these extremists. They have killed in many countries. They have killed people of different faiths more than any other, they have killed Muslims. Their actions are irreconcilable with the rights of human beings, the progress of nations, and with Islam.

So the rights BIG BEEF is that he didn't use the word terror? So what was Obama talking about in all those quotes then? Golfing? Because he didn't use the word "terror"?

Absolute stupidity!

[LandofDaFree]

No, you're the one claiming Fox lied, when they didn't. I could care less whether you think the President should call a terrorist a terroist or not.

I'm just correcting your gross misstatement and unfounded accusation.

[whomod]

This is the same kind of idiocy that makes that Hasselback dimwit on The View assert with all confidence (because she heard Rush say it) that obama not once mentioned democracy in his Cairo speech. One only needed to um.. WATCH the damn thing (or just play back the tape alongside her stupid assertion) to realize that these right wingers are either liars or just retarded. Or a combination of both.

[whomod]

Another example of Hannity's "fair and balanced" reporting. Right wingers seem to just eat up hateful lies.

President Obama:

We do not consider ourselves a Christian nation, or a Jewish nation, or a Muslim nation. We consider ourselves a nation of citizens, who are bound by ideals.

Sean Hannity:

The same president who insists the U.S. is not a Christian nation is now calling us a Muslim nation.

and they recoil from facts like vampires to sunlight.

[sckmia]

Obama did say the US is one of the largest countries in the Muslim world. Sorry, that statement is dumber than anything Bush ever said. Obama is just not the person you voted for, you'll realize it eventually.

[whomod]

No. One of your liar propagandists who you blindly believe said that. In fact it sounds a lot like what I quoted Sean Hannity saying.

There is a difference between hearing what Obama actually said and BELIEVING what the FOX liars tell you.

[sckmia]

No, in his actual speech that day he says the words..."the US is one of the largest countries in the Muslim world." It's a fact.

[whomod]

Here's some recent pearls of wisdom and "fair and balanced" reporting from Sean Hannity regarding Obama's comments, in their own words:

President Obama:

If you actually took the number of Muslim Americans, wed be one of the largest Muslim countries in the world.

Sean Hannity:

He honors the national day of prayer behind closed doors. Now, on his Middle East apology tour, the President calls the U.S. a "Muslim nation."

Wow. What Hannity said is a flat out LIE! Big surprise there.

[quantummechanic90]

How is what Hannity said a lie?

You just proved yourself wrong, by stating the following:

"President Obama:

If you actually took the number of Muslim Americans, wed be one of the largest [m]uslim countries in the world.

Sean Hannity:

He honors the national day of prayer behind closed doors. Now, on his Middle East apology tour, the President calls the U.S. a "[m]uslim nation." "

Saying that "we'd be one of the largest muslim countries in the world" is calling the U.S. a muslim nation.

[whomod]

Are right wingers really this dense? He didn't CALL the U.S. A Muslim nation, He just made a point of saying that we have more Muslims here than most countries.

Geez. If Obama phrased it like you and Hannity (and Rush) do, then you'd have a point. But he didn't. He said "We'd be" , not "we are". There is a BIG difference. but all you right wingers, so enthralled in your hate and fear, cling to any nonsense tossed your way by these liars on FOX.

[whomod]

BTW "Middle East Apology tour"? Wow. nice original thought there man. There usually isn't an inch of daylight between what the average right winger says and what is being played to them on FOX or on Rush.

[quantummechanic90]

He said "If you actually took the number of muslim Americans, we'd be one of the largest muslim countries in the world." One of the largest muslim countries in the world? More muslim than saudi arabia? Sounds like he's calling the U.S. a muslim country, and he gives us an idea of his capacity to think. You don't seem to have the capacity to think either; your argument is invalid. Formulate something intelligent to say, and maybe people will take you seriously.

[NoGuff]

whomod - In case English isn't your first language I'll give you some help.

The sentence "we'd be one of the largest Muslim countries in the world" refers to the USA as a Muslim Country if you quantify it by the number of Muslims here. Meaning we are the largest Muslim country.

But also, put that into context with the statements he made that the USA is NOT a Christian nation (and yes, he said it more than once, and not as part of "not a Jewish or Muslim" nation)

I think what he said is clear.

[darrellmellissa]

I for the life of me I cant see where Hannity is fibbing, Thou I can clearly see where Obama is.

[TheObserver81]

Having Rush on Hannity every night is fine by me.
