Rush Limbaugh - Obama Town Hall Fiasco

[mbear14]

Anyone happen to catch how many Americans & Iraqis died today? Oh, what, you mean the war isn't over!? Really, how did that happen? And what, the Fed Reserve Bank still hasn't been abolished...and we are still slaves to Israel, UN, NATO, WTO, NAFTA, and Joe Biden's Patriot Act? Oh wait, just a bad dream...for a second there I thought we were in Bush's 3rd term...thank god Obama isn't scaring the shit out of everyone with more talk about the evil boogie men that live in the Middle East, whew!

[GoodbyeWhigs]

Anyone who actually believes this bloated, drug-addled high school graduate who has committed felony offenses is telling the "truth" about anything at all needs 8 more years of the Bush/Cheney hell. The rest of us will see you disingenuous trolls in the rear view mirror of our country. Geez, can't you people find a real man to follow? If you saw this creature walking through a Hardee's parking lot you'd mutter "Fat-fuck." But since he's not a liberal you lick his boots like dogs.

[1999uoy]

If you believe the FAR LEFT OR the FAR RIGHT you are a brain washed idiot. There is a Grey area and it is the most reasonable area.

[mbear14]

Thank you. I can't believe it's like pulling teeth to try and get anyone in DC to understand there are more than 2 wings of the same bird. I bet 90% of the population couldn't name 1 other person on the final ballot besides McBama. Limbaugh is a fuck, and so is Obama. Fuck em both.

[imagolfer43]

Truth hurts bitches.

your messiah is a total goof, the affirmative action president.

[relhoc8]

let me guess, a comm degree from south florida state? impressive man.

[mbear14]

Haha! Awesome. As I always say, "the Britney Spears candidate". Cult of Personality is a motherfucker isn't it :(

[bevbac]

Yeah, you could have been deciding, if you'd'a laid off the pain killers.

[rudder11]

Rush Limbaugh

GO TO HELL YOU ASS HOLE

[KILOPERRON]

He tells the truth and he is the asshole

[CMartin030]

Rush Limbaugh is the devil

[guitarhero42087]

HAHAHAHAH

[LifeinaRaindrop]

Well here you go rush. How about every politician, from now on, answer every possible criticism to rise from answering one person's question? Sure, we can spend an hour or two to answer one question.

Obama is shortening an answer that could otherwise spend an hour explaining how there are institutions and management giving oversight to one another just as any other business would. What Rush likes to do is pull any single complaint that is redundant in the argument in the first place.

[Siriusluv]

sorry folks economy was being tanked long before the obot craze started. It has been a ONE party system with two left wings for a long time.They just take turns poundingnus..no change this time either.

INFOWARS.......com

[tootone10]

Dont you people see he is a Chicago puppet? Biden is a retard, the big o"O" singed a bill without lookin at it! He also sent thousands of troops into afganistan, and never announced it! Was it on the fuckin news-no! He is afraid of his lefty fraudulent cronies--a fuckin slap in the face to our military men and women!! Wake up people! The honeymoon for the "Messiah" is over-he is a socialist-and he will prove it soon! Its your grave-enjoy it!!!!!

[boohoojew]

I like when Obama says he has just saved X number of jobs at the Caterpillar plant and then the CEO of CAT comes on and says no actually we will be laying off X number of people..... Politicians are freaking liars, even when they are the Messiah

[trashboniskow]

I wonder where the change is? George Bush asked congress to pass the bailout bills and he continues to do the same. Go Ron Paul -the only guy with common sense.

[keslet64]

Oh wow, that was SOOO creative. Idiot. Typical Republican, all you know how to do is talk shit. Why do you think they lost the election. Why is your party is on the slippery slope to no where right now. No ideas, no constructive thoughts on how to improve...just talking shit. Keep it up, I love Bush in some ways..he wrecked the Republican party and hopefully the Libertarian party gets more votes then them next time. Keep doing what your doing buddy real smart. Just keep talkin shit.

[D2Duehren]

DittoPost is as big a moron as Limbaugh for posting this recording of the big, fat blowhard with brain-dead followers.

[Dittopost]

Thanks for the compliment, but I don't consider myself brain-dead. I'm a teacher, and I like to present all sides of an argument to my students. I think that Rush presents views that stray from the mainstream. How happy would you really be if there weren't a vocal opposition to the gov (whichever party is in control at the time)?

[keslet64]

Nice finally someone on this page who can think logically.  I completely agree with you Ditto.

[D2Duehren]

I love political debate - but the debaters must be HONEST. Rush is not an honest broker of ideas. Few on the right seem willing to check their facts before spewing them. Whereas Olbermann, Maddow, Thom Hartman, Bill Moyers, etc, although liberal in their views, are meticulous about being truthful. Teach your students critical thinking, but also how to ferret out the truth, and they will be well served.

[arubberball]

Wow,Olbermann aka bathtub boy, Maddow, Bill Moyers. Honest, and truthful? Your comment is laughable.

[keslet64]

You are completely right D2Duehren. They are definitely bias, but at least they are truthful. The people that deny that are people who would never watch the show in the first place and therefor would never know if what they say is true or false. But they will still talk shit about them even know they never watch the show. I watch it all. Even Hannity who is the worst liar in the world, but every now and then, I will learn a tidbit of info from him. Most times he is a joke just like Rush.

[arubberball]

The same apply's to you as well...laughable! You accuse without backing it up with facts, and emotions don't count.

[D2Duehren]

arubberball,

Obviously, you have not watched these shows. Give me ONE example of tany of them stating a known lie. And they frequently correct the record when they unknowingly get things wrong. That is responsible and honest journalism.

[arubberball]

Sadly, I have watched these programs. In most case they are one sided in their reporting. You had Matthews talking about a tingling sensation dashing up his leg, now that's objective journalism. Keith Overbite has no journalistic abilities, well he's a great reader of the teleprompter..I guess. Tell me they wasn't in the tank for the Messiah? They pass off commentary, and personal viewpoints as hard news. That's not responsible, or objective journalism.

[keslet64]

Limbaugh is such a fucking Moran. I can't believe people actually listen to this clown.

[RonIbach]

Limblow lies once again. Has this man no shame!!!!

[DPEART6475]

I am a conservative..and Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity are on the take from Big Corp.; I could not believe that they were on the radio justifying our hard earned tax money being spent on buying jets and furniture..I lost alot of respect for the both them..basically the govt gave banks and companies like AIG a welfare check and they didn't call those companies out....I see now where their bread is buttered.

[Dittopost]

Didn't hear Sean, but I think Rush was showing what happens when the gov throws money at problems. Almost everything the gov touches gets mismanaged and abused.

[NewsGuy2008]

WTF? Rush didn't play where the crowd booed this woman! Rush chickened the fuck out! COWARD!

[animedbzgurl]

I'm pretty sure this answers this woman's question, don't you? He's saying it depends on what's necessary, what's the priority, and how the state deems it worthy to spend the money.

PS- Thanks for deleting my first comment just because it didn't prove your point. :)

[DPEART6475]

Thanks for posting the rest of the transcript and just to let u know, your comments did not get deleted.

[animedbzgurl]

he same is true on education funding. We may be working directly with the school superintendent, who I know is here, to figure out where are the schools that are in most need of help and where we can right away get some construction going and get some improvements going. So it'll probably depend on what stream of money we're talking about, but the key is we're going to have strong oversight and strong transparency to make sure that this money is well spent.

[animedbzgurl]

There are going to be other projects having to do with transportation, for example, in which we may be working directly with local municipalities and communities as well as the state government to make sure that the project is well planned. And that's why we've got Secretary LaHood here, because he's going to be working with the local communities.

[animedbzgurl]

Here is the rest of what you didn't hear, directly transcribed from the town hall, word for word:

Now, in terms of how it's -- how it's being utilized and who it's going to, it's probably going to depend on different aspects of the plan. Some of the plan will go to the state government because, for example -- well, let me give you an example. Unemployment insurance is run through the state, not run through a city, and so that part of the plan will be going through the state.

[readyjojoy]

Obama is unbelievable. This whole thing is unbelieveable.

[arequipa1]

obama's clearly overmatched on this financial crisis thing. it's clear he doesn't have a goddamn CLUE what to do except throw money at the problem at hope it goes away. america needs to vote this imbecile out of office next election if he can't turn the economy around. NO MORE FREE PASSES.

[docbar82]

I agree 100% but the truth is when Obama cant turn this economy around he and the libnuts are just gonna blame

Bush.

[arequipa1]

oh they already have. obama goes on like a broken record about the "failed policies of the last 8 years," whatever that means. i love how he just talks in generalities. sheep love generalities, and they were the idiots who elected him.

[keslet64]

what do you mean whatever that means?? where have you been the last eight years while bush ruined our nation. talk about idiots that elected other idiots wow come back to reality.

[arequipa1]

how did he "ruin our nation"??

[keslet64]

why wouldn't everyone blame bush?? Its not like it is Obama's fault. If I remember correctly, the economy was in the tank on Jan 20th and Bush just sat back for the last three months and did what he always did in a time of crisis. GO ON VACATION like the looser he is.

[arequipa1]

um actually the economy grew for 53 straight months under bush. i love how obama talks about 'failed economic policies.' i guess economic growth is a failed economic policy.

[keslet64]

yeah i grew for 53 months before it completely tanked. What shape is it in right now??? Nearing a depression. We have been in a recession technically since the end of 07. so i guess the economy growing for 53 months and going into the crapper for the other 43 months he was president is good enough 4 U huh? Last month was the first month the economy grew at all for how long??? Oh you wouldn't know that cuz you don't pay attention to anything that contradicts what you think. Moron

[arequipa1]

wrong, i'm sure i read a lot more of the news than you do. besides, what do you dumbocrats care? you hate money and prosperity anyway. you knuckleheads ought to be dancing in the streets. you'll probably still be stamping your lil' feets ten years from now over bush. GET OVER IT!

[keslet64]

Exactly what I thought. No response to the fact that after the 53 months of growth the economy completely crashed. And you say he has good economic policy when we are nearing a depression after his 8 year term. Again all you do is talk shit. I am over Bush, I never have to think about him being our failed president ever again. But what he did to our country just didn't disappear ya know. You tell the millions and millions of jobless that he had good economic policy see what they say.

[G0dspelronin]

Here is a response.Once the elections were coming around, stocks began to slow down. Once Barack won the Democratic vote, people began to pull their money out of the stock market just in case. See, Barack came straight out and said he is going to penalize capital gains to fund his welfare machine, and capital gains are made where? Wall Street.I watched it happen too and my business was directly affected by the losses. Nobody wants him to take their money, so they pulled out before he made it in

[G0dspelronin]

Capitalism is a game,when you tell people you are going to punish them for making money, then people stop making money since they will just have it taken away to welfare programs. These same people are already set for life so they can do that. They will wisely spend their money, lay off all their liabilities (workers) and operate small scale since they will not make any more money by working harder (it will be taxed away). Welcome to what made Russia and Cuba such wonderful places to prosper

[keslet64]

53 months of growth followed by a complete collapse equals good economic policy in your eyes??  Wow I'm glad your not running things. And that is why the Republicans aren't either. FAILED policy.

[arubberball]

Well, maybe if Obama had spent more time in Washington, instead of being on a two year campaign...who knows. Let's not forget Barney Franks, Chris Dodd, and all the old Clinton people as well. You like, most liberals have a hard time with your memory here lately.

[keslet64]

blah blah blah blah blah. Talk about a bad memory, Bush is only out for weeks and you don't even know how he ruined our country. Wow you can't even remember back one or two years and you talk shit for me having a bad memory. You are crazy you know that. You and Limbaugh would make a good team..as long as you are an Oxycontin junkie just like him.

[arequipa1]

keslet: face it, if your only recourse is to resort to petty namecalling, you don't have much of an argument at all. and as to your assertions about bush killing the economy, or whatever you're talking about, you can't really prove anything -- you just draw the inferences you want to draw. you've already concluded what you want to conclude. it's a circular argument and a failed one at that.

[arubberball]

Nice try. You fail to answer the question on Franks, Dodd, and the Clinton Administration being a huge reason for the economic mess we face today. You are a textbook liberal, can't answer the question,so you reply with personal attacks. Unlike you, I'm consistent both political party's are self-serving idiots.

[G0dspelronin]

I do...i pulled my hip flexor while Bush was in office. That never happened under the Clinton administration....ahahahahahah­ahahaha. I will blame Bush for all my problems and lack of education and motivation to work hard. I blame Bush for what happened to the Jews and also for global warming even though we are experiencing record freezing temperatures that are lasting way to long. See, there are people that shape their own destinies and then there are those of us who whine and blame others..lmao

[keslet64]

If you read anything about what global warming really causes, it isn't just warm temperatures. It causes extreme changes in temperature and yes sometimes colder weather then usual. The record highs and record lows and extreme changes in precipitation are caused by global warming. See when one has already made up there mind that it doesn't exist, and refuses to read about what is ACTUALLY happening, this is what you see. People talking shit about something they obviously don't know about.

[G0dspelronin]

we just call that weather...Although I am only 33 I remember Hot winters and cold winters at random. Scientifically the earth based on ice records has been too hot to live on, as well as too cold too live on, and all this before Suvs!lol I do think we need to harmonize with nature and stop destroying it because it serves us to do so, but I also know that historically based on raw science, the earth will die again as it goes through cycles...nothing can change that. We can treat it better though

[G0dspelronin]

correctly if its going to get cold and hot, they need to call it global weather chaos.....pretending to know it all is just as bad as not knowing anything about what we are talking about, actually worse.

[arubberball]

It's the sun smart guy!

[arubberball]

Obama has no leadership skills. Unless you count intimidating bankers to offer bad loans to irresponsible people i.e. Acorn.

[arequipa1]

no argument here
