The Rude Pundit: Why Rush Limbaugh Ought to Be Force-Fed His Own Liposuctioned Fat, Part 89

[meegbear]

"Phony Soldiers" in Context Edition

One secret you don't hear about Rush Limbaugh is that the chair he sits on in his studio has actually merged with his ass, that the fat of his buttocks and upper thighs draped over the sides of the seat like fleshy globs of melted marshmallow, in essence swallowing the chair. Now, conveniently, wherever he goes, he can sit. Yeah, it's rough on his back, but, in the long run, it's less walking and standing, so the joints in his worn out legs get a break. That chair is the longest, most successful relationship he's ever had.

A man has to have mighty big things shoved up his ass in order to call any soldier who served time in Iraq "phony" because he or she wants the war to end. But Rush Limbaugh is the right man with the right ass at the right time. We know how this is gonna go: It was taken out of context, it's a smear. He'll do the O'Reilly dance. Limbaugh's gonna say that he didn't believe a caller, Mike in Chicago, was the military man he claimed to be. And he really meant people who fraudulently claimed they were soldiers, like, as he mentions, the strange story of Jesse Macbeth.

But here's the thing: read the context and the entire transcript. "Mike" is trying to get Limbaugh to say when the war can end. He says he used to be military and he's a Republican, to which Limbaugh responds, "And I, by the way, used to walk on the moon." When the next caller, who sports wood for the war, says that he's been in the military for 14 years, Limbaugh says, "Thank you, sir." Yep, Rush has amazing radiographic psychic powers to know which people on the other end of the phone are telling the truth about their lives.

But Mike in Chicago doesn't live up to Rush's paradigm - and here's the nutzoid right's warning to Republicans: Rush tells Mike in Chicago, "You can't possibly be a Republican" and that "I don't know a single Republican or conservative, Mike, who wants to pull out of Iraq in defeat." That's how you know now if you're a real Republican, according to Rush: you gotta want to kill more American soldiers and Iraqis. Oh, and apparently there's a qualitative difference between Chuck Hagel's withdrawal desire and Harry Reid's.

Then, because bugfuck insane just isn't far enough for Rush, he says, "(A)ll of these anti-war Democrats are getting even more hell-bent on pulling out of there, which means that success on the part of you and your colleagues over there is a great threat to them." Get it? Democrats want the troops to fail in whatever the hell the troops are doing. They, actually, want more troops to die because that'll mean they lost.

Phony soldiers, phony Republicans, traitorous Democrats. It's funny, really, in a Duke Cunningham gets raped in prison kind of way, to watch the implosion of the bloviating right. Between Limbaugh's degradation of soldiers who aren't bloodthirsty enough for him and O'Reilly's discovery that black pimps don't beat their ho's at restaurants, we're witnessing the desperate gasping for air of a movement that was degraded from the start, but has now become about as valid as a serial rapist giving fashion tips to high school girls.

1. I just visited "you know where" and you would not believe their defense

of Rush. The guy was not really in the military, and Rush called out a "phoney." They can't wait to listen to him today and hear how he's going to call out the "lefty loonies" on their hypocrisy, etc. According to the nuts he was absolutely correct in calling out the phoney and it has all been blown out of proportion...blah, blah, blah...

3. 2nd Grade mentality. They are fools and sheep who are being

led to their own demise.Unfortunately with their support this administration is hurting all of us.

They should try to look at a bigger picture and try to compare the good their God (Bush) has done and compare it to the actual loses he has provided to the general public-you and me-over his terms as President.

If his pundits would not have been paid millions to scrub his massive tragic errors, maybe they would be able to see the corruption and deceit that has occurred with their support.

We,as Democrats, have seen our party leaders fall short and fall for, the easy way to deal, in Washington. We have seen them accept the perks of corporate lobbyists and let things slide without shedding blood for what was right for the general public,but they have not headed the push for corporate rule of this country. That has been a Republican con job headed by the highest leaders.

The support of these criminals has been given in abundance by the foolish childlike listeners to Rush and the other well paid traitors and liars hired by evil meaning power-hording corporate slugs who have led these fools into thinking they need someone to protect them from crime.

I ask them to look at the history of this administration alone and compare the good and the bad, and the protection given to us compared the rights given to the corporate monopolies. That's all I ask.Who are they working for?

Can they do it? (without the help of the pundits)
