Rush mentions the DU....
"We will admit, we'll have to admit, that there's a percentage of this country that literally hates and despises Bush. I would like to posit for you, ladies and gentlemen, this number, 13%, probably is a grand total of the Democrat blogs -- the Democrat Underground, the MoveOn.org, and the George Soros crowd -- and some of the elected Democrats around the country, and I would bet also that that number hasn't changed. I'll bet you it's the same number that held hatred for Bush starting in 2000 in the Florida election aftermath."
http://www.rushlimbaugh.com/home/daily/site_090705/content/america_s_anchorman.guest.html

Yep - I for one fit that description to a tee, you fat son of a leprous whore.

But he goes on to say...

"Nobody wants to hang around somebody that's constantly angry and filled with rage and hatred, constantly unhappy. Nobody wants to hang around people like that. Those people don't lead great movements. These people are not the backbone of America, and they're going even crazier. As each of these efforts that they mount, each of these events that they look at through a political prism, as they fail they get angrier and angrier and angrier, and rather than realize this is failing, they say, "Well, we're not hating enough, and we're not being outrageous enough," and so they continue to pile more hatred on top of more hatred, and they actually end up treading water, marking ground, or losing it. It wouldn't surprise me, ladies and gentlemen, if this poll causes a panic that will result in the Democrats -- you see where Jane Fonda had to cancel her bus tour? Her anti-war tour? Yeah, Jane Fonda canceled her death tour (story). The Pope's death I think screwed up her book tour, and now the hurricane has canceled her anti-war bus tour with George Galloway. If I didn't know better... The Democrats may put out a distress call to Cindy Sheehan and ask Cindy Sheehan to set up here anti-war rally somewhere on the outskirts of flooded New Orleans. I wouldn't be surprised at all if that happened. I mean, the kook left, the fringe out there, just going to be beside themselves with anger over this and frustration. They'll go back to the old playbook. They never move forward; they always go back.
They may even go try to find Bill Burkett and say, "Bill, would you join Cindy Sheehan on the outskirts of New Orleans at an anti-Bush protest?" While it's funny, you know, it is. I mean, the first thing you do is laugh at it. I don't know how many of you heard the call yesterday from Vince (story), a black man in North Carolina who is convinced that there's a racial component in New Orleans and that Bush wants black people to die and might have even been responsible for as many black deaths as possible. I had a conversation with him yesterday, took about ten or 15 minutes, and I said to him, "You know, Vince, your attitude here -- because I know you probably speak for a lot more people than you realize -- is more depressing to me than what's happened in New Orleans, because that attitude is going to survive." That attitude is going to grow. That attitude is going to prevail. New Orleans will get fixed and rebuilt and cleaned up in time, but the poison that is flowing through the minds and veins of some Americans is still there, and you hate to see it. These people are ruining their lives. It's tough. It's really hard to believe that they're Americans. It's hard to believe that we have people like this in this country. It's very sobering when you stop and think about it, and if you let it, it can become depressing. So who wants to be depressed? So what we choose to do is just laugh at these yokels and say, "Hey, they're making their bed; they can lay in it. They're taking their shower; they can drown in it," whatever metaphor you want to use. "
{It's hard to miss the New Orleans reference here folks}

This is the sort of nonsense the Republicans listen to and believe. They actually listen to this guy telling them that we are so filled with hate that no one wants to listen to us and yet everyday on his show, he spouts out nothing but hate. Somehow, they fail to see this fact and they tune in and turn into "Ditto Heads". It's unreal. I mean, these guys are the ruling party. These guys run every branch of government and infest every state to one degree or another and they got there by filling these weak minded Republicans with hate-filled Ditto talking points. But the question has to be asked, how secure are they in their majority that they have to constantly worry about a small number or wacko-fringe liberals? To me, this sounds like an insecure party in it's death-throws. By attempting to discredit a discussion forum with relatively little power, it shows just how weak these guys really are. It show just how weak and truly scared they are that they are really losing. And I'm loving it. Keep up the good work DUer's. If we have people like Rush No-balls running scared, maybe we have more power and influence than we realize. Maybe we can push him back on his oxycotin binge and he'll finally take enough to overdose, though with a body that huge, I'd imagine he'd need a lot.

1. Rushbo was probably the biggest presidential hater ever
He even attacked the looks of Clinton's teenage daughter.

What a pig.

3. We're hateful toward Bush
and they spread nothing but cheer toward Clinton for 8 years.

Beyond that obvious distinction, there's the RESULTS of the two presidencies, and the fact that most of the world shares our views on Bush and didn't understand the right wing's obsession with taking down Clinton.

9. Well, Clinton did get that blowjob. That's much worse than...
...The 2000 selection
9/11
Anthrax
Enron
Afghanistan
Iraq
Abu Ghraib
Guantonamo
The 2004 theft
Jeff Gannon
Outing Valerie Plame
Hurricane Katrina...

I mean, hell, if Bush could get a blowjob, I think maybe most of these things wouldn't have happened in the first place. Maybe his Mommy quite blowing him when he became President and that's got the little turd so angry. Who knows?

5. Ummmmmmmmmmmmm
"Nobody wants to hang around somebody that's constantly angry and filled with rage and hatred, constantly unhappy. Nobody wants to hang around people like that. Those people don't lead great movements. These people are not the backbone of America,"

Sounds like a perfect description of the little strung out worm man himself to me...

I thought Rush was hatched from an egg laid by a male chicken and incubated on a dung heap.

LOL, I guess that's why you've been divorced how many times now? And why you've recently lost some radio stations that will carry you..

Clearly, not Rush. Ergo all the brain candy.

21. Thanks for the HEADS UP, however......
that's sort of why I like it. I would rather see liberals at least saying something, than nothing at all. The " Mr. Goody " stuff is just not cutting it in the times we are living in now.

15. What the F is he talking about??
Cindy Sheehan leading an anti-Bush protest outside of New Orleans? Democrats filled with hatred? Oh, really. Oh, man, if this had happened under Clinton's watch, they would have marched to the White House and strung him up.

It never ceases to amaze me. The Dems are in control of NOTHING. The republicans are in control of everything. Why do they give a fuck about what we think. Bottom line: Y'all are going to do whatever you want anyways, and the only thing we can really do is speak truth to power and wait for you to hang yourselves.

Bush can't run away from this. New Orleans may have been filled with poor black people who didn't vote for him, but plenty of people in Biloxi who also got screwed DID vote for him, and come the midterms they still won't have a frickin' place to live. And gas will probably be $4 a gallon by then. I'm just going to sit and wait.

17. DITTO THAT !!!!
The Re-TARDICANS are always quick to jump down our throats EVERY time we so much as frown at what they do.I think they are paranoid because they have screwed over so many people in this country,it's only a matter of time that even Republicans are going to start turning away.....A little to the LEFT.:P

20. WHERE DOES THE SHITHEAD THINK THE HATRED CAME FROM????
We saw what he did and we hated him for it.

The hatred didn't come before the judgment, it resulted from it.

Sorry for shouting in the subj line, but Limppaw makes my teeth itch.

27. First of all.........
I can't read that overly lengthy Rush-related post.

Secondly... I have to wonder why a fine, outstanding member of our DU Family listens to such filth? Do you honestly tune in to that man? :o

If you can wrap up Rush's comment in a nut shell, I'd read it.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

He's not worth anyone's time when it comes to reading off an entire page of his worthless spewing of vile and disgusting hatred.

As for me... I'll stick with Big Eddie radio! :headbang:

It's just part of knowing what the fascists are up to.

It's not pretty, but necessary.

28. Katrina has him workin' overtime to come up with 'blame the left'
stuff. Even he can't believe half the b.s. he spews. I wonder if when he gets off the air he has to shower. And, though everyone who listens isn't a drooler, ya gotta wonder what inspired people to tune in after this brilliant rant about the price of gas (long before it hit the $3 mark, btw):

Oil prices are starting to skyrocket, and as we discussed yesterday, the gasoline price is starting to head north. In many places it's up to $2.15 or higher, and of course I haven't changed my attitude about this from yesterday. It doesn't matter to me. I mean, as prices go higher my philosophy is go earn more money. It certainly makes more sense than to sit around griping about it, doesn't it? I mean, so many things are predictable here. You know that every spring or on the verge of every spring we're going to get stories about gasoline prices going up, and we know that the public is going to screech and howl and talk about how unfair it is and, "Oh, woe is us." And the media is going to start targeting the usual suspects, the evil, greedy oil companies, and, of course, our dependence on foreign oil.

31. I *DON'T* listen!
I even left an office that played his show in the waiting room! I was curious about what he might be saying after reading this thread but, loathe to even read his site, I did a search and found a brave soul who, for a short time, apparently did the dirty work of listening and reporting his offenses. Hell, kudos to all who can stand the sound of his voice.
