LIMBAUGH: Don't believe all these polls, the fraudulent poll from The Washington Post earlier this week, 57 percent want public option. There has never been 57 percent for the public option, and there isn't in this poll. It is a fraudulent poll.
also he takes the stance that the democrats are a splintered party...yeah no typo ... the democrats
Also Rush quotes from a fake excerpt of Obama's undergrad thesis to label him an "anti-constitutionalist" from a fake essay that was supposable from Obama undergrad years at Columbia ...
Excerpt from article:
...... Rush took a gander at a blog post by Michael Ledeen which purported to have an excerpt of Barack Obama's undergrad thesis that he wrote when he attended Columbia University. Ledeen sourced the excerpt to an obscure conservative blog, which claimed the excerpt came from Time's Joe Klein in an article that would supposedly appear in an "upcoming special edition about the president." That post was written eight weeks ago, and that "upcoming special edition" of Time has yet to surface. Color us skeptical. (Ledeen later posted an apology for running with this "hoax." Rush also cast some doubt as the program went on.)

Its amazing how he has high ratings and his only attribute is hate and smear and the radio stations pay him millions of dollars for this crap. I hate politics because of the corporate control and the fact that Corporate and religious America is in control, but Rush doesn't play on this, rather he tries to play liberals and just plain people against each other like hes trying to stir up another civil war. And he is able to live in West Palm Beach.

A whole party wouldn't take a great suggestion and shoot it down. Unless it was about rape in the work place and a democrat suggested it...so what happens? A democrat wants to get rid of it. Money talks and he sure got talking bills in the thousands from a source that wants it to disappear.

@libertyforall: Racist statements from Rush have been confirmed independently and have never been denied by Rush.
@Ihatethemall: The stink of fear and failure has been attached to the republican right from the moment Obama was elected. A very small minority of about 35% located mostly in the deep south and western mountain states have literally lost their minds at the prospect that a liberal black man has been elected president.Tyr is 100% right on. this small minority does everything in its power to appear larger than what it is and to hijack the message of moderate conservatives to their nut job religious true believer propaganda. It is a known phenomena that right wing extremists have trouble separating their religious fervor from their politics and believe what ever neocon pap is fed them as words from on high. - 2 years ago

I never called you a racist. My point is that their are racist overtones in the mountain west and southern bible belt. The issue here as i see it was the wedge politics of lee atwater as perfected by karl rove have come to roost. They courted the religious right and stirred religious overtones into politics. These people felt that it was their divine right to the presidency and that all that didnt agree with their politics were not only their political enemies but enemies of "God". They were genuinely shocked and scared when Obama won. As the man once said "where is your God now". The Republicans have a serious issue on their hands now. Elections are won with moderates ands independents. The religious right and tea baggers are demanding ever more extreme action. The more they pander to this base the more unattractive they are to the middle. Rush is a prime example of pandering to the basest of the base.

2. Right. So you go into Darfur and you go into South Africa, you get rid of the white government there. You put sanctions on them. You stand behind Nelson Mandela — who was bankrolled by communists for a time, had the support of certain communist leaders. You go to Ethiopia. You do the same thing.
3. Look, let me put it to you this way: the NFL all too often looks like a game between the Bloods and the Crips without any weapons. There, I said it.
4. The NAACP should have riot rehearsal. They should get a liquor store and practice robberies.
5. They’re 12 percent of the population. Who the hell cares?
6. [To an African American female caller]: Take that bone out of your nose and call me back.
7. I think the media has been very desirous that a black quarterback do well. They’re interested in black coaches and black quarterbacks doing well. I think there’s a little hope invested in McNabb and he got a lot of credit for the performance of his team that he really didn’t deserve.
8. halfrican American or 'Barack the magic negro, an ‘affirmative action candidate.’

He does it on his own...'cause he's a dumbazz racist. OK, his right to be what he wants. But, apparently he's not proud or he would stand up and own it.

The problem is the guys like Ihatethemall,believe without question anything that comes out the mouth of Rush. The fact that Limbaugh has found a way to make millions, 400,000,000 to be exact, by pandering to the angry white folks is not anything new, but what is new is the intentional desire to incite irrational hatred. Certainly politics has in the past been a rough game, but I cannot ever recall a left wing talking head calling for the desired failure of a sitting U.S. president. Now I have heard that stated desire as well as predictions coming from places like the Soviet Union, North Korea, Iran etc but never from a fifth column within the United States.
I would not be too concerned if these weren't the same people who adhere to the philosophy that guns play a role in the settlement of disagreements. How often we hear that it's a good thing to have a heavily armed populace to counter tyranny...lets take a look at what that really means, in essence what that means is that if a duly elected president isn't agreeable to enough gun wielding people they have reserved the right to kill him and replace him with someone they prefer. Make no mistake about it , that is the not so subtle threat that these nut cases are making when they show up at town hall meetings armed. Add to that volatile mix a provocateur such as Limbaugh, and in their minds a sense of legitimacy has been conferred on their desire destroy a president by any means necessary. If we have reached that point this is no longer a nation founded in democratic principles but becomes more like places in the middle east or central and south America where the faction with the most firepower rules. In summation it's not Rush that is so threatening, but those idiots that are so easily as well as so eager to be "called to arms". - 2 years ago

Projection. Actually Rush is the pedophile, if there is any truth to his sex-tourism. Didn't he get busted with all that aftermarket viagra on the way to the Dominican republic?
Oh, that's right, he did.CBS News-
Rush Limbaugh could see a deal with prosecutors in a long-running prescription fraud case collapse after authorities found a bottle of Viagra in his bag at Palm Beach International Airport. The prescription was not in his name.Limbaugh was detained for more than three hours Monday at the airport after returning from a vacation in the Dominican Republic. Customs officials found the Viagra in his luggage but his name was not on the prescription, said Paul Miller, a spokesman for the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office.
Miller said the alleged violation could be a second-degree misdemeanor. The sheriff's office was investigating and will soon turn the case over to the state attorney's office, which had no immediate comment Tuesday.
Under the deal reached last month with prosecutors, Limbaugh was not to be arrested for any infraction for 18 months in exchange for authorities deferring a charge of "doctor shopping." Prosecutors had alleged the conservative talk-show host illegally deceived multiple physicians to receive overlapping painkiller prescriptions.
Limbaugh also must submit to random drug tests and continue treatment for his admitted addiction to painkillers.Limbaugh's doctor had prescribed the Viagra, but it was "labeled as being issued to the physician rather than Mr. Limbaugh for privacy purposes," Roy Black, Limbaugh's attorney, said in a statement.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection examined the 55-year-old radio commentator's luggage after his private plane landed at the airport, Miller said.
Investigators confiscated the drugs, which treat erectile dysfunction. Limbaugh was released without being charged.
For now, Limbaugh is joking about his brush with the law. He joked about the search on his radio show Tuesday, saying Customs officials didn't believe him when he said he got the pills at the Clinton Library and he was told they were blue M&Ms. He later added, chuckling: "I had a great time in the Dominican Republic. Wish I could tell you about it."
He also said today he's "trying to figure out how Bob Dole's luggage got on'' his plane. Former Senator Dole was a pitchman for the erectile dysfunction drug after losing a presidential bid. And Limbaugh says he's worried about "the next election" -- and not what Viagra might bring.
Before his own problems became public, Limbaugh had decried drug use and abuse and mocked President Clinton for saying he had not inhaled when he tried marijuana. He often made the case that drug crimes deserve punishment.
"Drug use, some might say, is destroying this country. And we have laws against selling drugs, pushing drugs, using drugs, importing drugs. ... And so if people are violating the law by doing drugs, they ought to be accused and they ought to be convicted and they ought to be sent up," Limbaugh said on his short-lived television show on Oct. 5, 1995.

President Obama's 'Safe Schools' czar, former high school teacher Kevin Jennings, admitted that he 'should have handled (the) situation differently' when he kept quiet after an underage student told him that he was having sex with older men.
\http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2009/09/30/obamas-safe-schools-czar-admits-bad-h...http://www.lifesitenews.com/ldn/2009/jun/09061113.html
June 11, 2009 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Kevin Jennings, who was appointed by Obama to be the assistant deputy secretary of the Office of Safe and Drug-Free Schools inside the Department of Education, has always been interested in promoting the homosexualist agenda to schoolchildren.http://sweetness-light.com/archive/safe-school-czar-ignored-statutory-rape
According to Mr. Jennings’ own description in a new audiotape discovered by Fox News, the 15-year-old boy met the "older man" in a "bus station bathroom" and was taken to the older man’s home that night. When some details about the case became public, Mr. Jennings threatened to sue another teacher who called his failure to report the statutory rape "unethical." Mr. Jennings’ defenders asserted that there was no evidence that he was aware the student had sex with the older man.
However, the new audiotape contradicts this claim. In 2000, Mr. Jennings gave a talk to the Iowa chapter of the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network, an advocacy group that promotes homosexuality in schools. On the tape, Mr. Jennings recollected that he told the student to make sure "to use a condom" when he was with the older man.
