Cathy Talbot tipped us off to an on-air smackdown that transpired today between Rush Limbaugh and one of his callers, who criticized the talk radio host for hurting the Republican party's fortunes and supporting the practice of torture. The caller, Charles, identified himself as a Republican and a veteran, who "really didn't want to see Obama get in office." From there, he let loose, especially on the torture issue, telling Limbaugh, "We're not supposed to be torturing these people. This is not Nazi Germany, Red China, or North Korea." He then added, "I hate to say it...but I think you're a brainwashed Nazi."

This did not go over well, at all! Limbaugh shot back with a brainwashing accusation of his own, and blamed Charles and people like him for Obama winning the election. "I didn't vote for him," Charles protested, "I voted for McCain. I voted Republican." No matter. Rush signed off by saying, "Charles, Barack Obama is president of the United States today because of stupid, ignorant people who think like you do. You pose -- you and your ignorance are the most expensive commodity this country has."

    "Wacoans were threatening to overthrow the government"

    They did no such thing. LOL You don't even know the damn story, ignoramus. They never said they wanted to overthrow the government and neither could they even if they wanted to.

    "the south are filled with Nazis"

    Oh boy. More generalities that are completely nutty. You've been living under a rock.

    Yeah, you would give Obama full support for persecuting innocent people simply because you think they are "Nazis" for disagreeing with you.

    "Arms" is defined as weapons. It is actually short for "firearms". The idea the founders had was if their government got as oppressive as England was they wanted the ability to fight against the tyranny. That is the purpose of the 2nd Amendment, like it or not.

    LOL. The 2nd amendment says nothing about automatic weapons or handguns or other stuff like that. It calls for a well-regulated militia and the right to bear arms shall not be infringed. That does not give you the right to own a gun. Wacoans were threatening to overthrow the government because Texas and the south are filled with Nazis. If President Obama did order the IRS, which he didn't, that would get my full support. The republicans are cheats on their taxes and American hating traitors.

    "The 2nd amendment only allows muskets"

    Where does it say that?

    "They were threatening to overthrow the government"

    No they weren't dummy.

    "2nd amendment does not give you the right to own a gun"

    It most certainly does.

    "Obama didn't order the IRS"

    Of course he did. You are a crazy person. Typical wingnut drone.

    They were threatening to overthrow the government. They got what was coming to them because they conspired mass murder. 2nd amendment does not give you the right to own a gun. You distort it beyond recognition. Clinton handled it like a president should. Freedom of speech? President Obama didn't order the IRS you lunatic, and if he did, it would of been good for the country because republicans cheat on taxes. Trial by jury? He can take out imminent threats to the country. You're just a racist.

    You're exactly right. That's what I've been telling people all along. The 2nd amendment only allows muskets and whatever else were there in 1775 and 1776.

    Since the founders could not hope to win a war without comparable weapons to the British troops, they had muskets, explosives, cannons, etc., just like British soldiers did. If they didn't, they would not have had the power to overthrow the oppressive king. The concept of the second amendment is not obsolete. They didn't specify "musket", instead they specified "arms" because they were well aware that military hardware would advance with time. Millions oppose your assault on the Bill of Rights.

    "Ratio of Darkrift's comments"

    That's the basis of your argument now? Critiquing ratio of posts? Honestly, why you aren't embarrassed by the content of your posts must be do to gross ignorance.

    The founding fathers were clear that a well regulated militia has to do with individual rights to own weapons, that is, people who are not part of the standing military. The reason for this is due to the fact that the founders had just fought a revolutionary war with Britain.

    Note the ratio of Darkrift's comments to yours?

    His content is a mass of distortions and ignores the section of the 2nd amendment entirely that refers to "a well-regulated militia".

    There's nothing in the 2nd amendment that would suggest anyone own anything more powerful than a musket anyway (as militia) & reloading one wouldn't result in mowing down the max number of humans in the shortest amount of time.

    The second amendment as written by the founders is obsolete.

    "Freedom of speech"

    That Obama assaulted by ordering the IRS to target groups he didn't want exercising their 1st Amendment rights.

    "trial by jury"

    That he bypasses by sending drone strikes to assassinate people before a trial determines guilt or innocence?

    "warrants required for search"

    That he violated when he tapped phone records covertly, thereby violating the rights of individuals?

    Apparently you have no idea whatsoever what you are talking about. You're a joke. Completely ignorant.
