You know, to me, is the WORST thing about all this Limbaugh nonsense...?
The man was on his way (if not already having arrived) to WELL-DESERVED irrelevance! No one gave a crap about the EIB! The only time anyone checked in was when the bulls were all over him for his chemical dependencies or whatever insane comment he could muster up (McNabb, Michael J. Fox, etc.). He was rendered null and void by the likes of Hannity, O'Reilly, Coulter, Malkin, Savage, et al. Even the Dittoheads got overtaken by Freepers.

And NOW it's like it's late 80s/early 90s all over again! HTF did THAT happen????

2. Don't let them fool you.
They're trying to make it seem like the GOP is making a comeback. They lost. WE WON! I expected them to react this way. They can't change the fact that we'll have a Democratic president for at least four years. (And a majority in congress)!

3. "how did it happen???????
President Obama took a shot at him across the bough when he said in a committee meeting to "stop listening to Limbaugh and get the real news" something to that effect and it just escalutated from there.

5. I'm sure Rush voted for Obama
The narcissistic Pigboy makes a lot of money and gets a lot of ratings when the Dems are in charge. He doesn't care about anything other than his own pocketbook and the fact that his Dittotards think he cares about America is laughable.

6. He's still irrellevant
Don't go Beltway Blind. Out there in the United States (the place that matters), he's a tiny little freak. People have bigger concerns than a fat old druggie pedophile's rant to a bunch of dweebs in a Washington Hotel.

He's still irrelevant, and what you must keep in mind is that WE WON. That's what matters. Look at what President Obama has done in just over a month. Compare that to a mindless rant by a radio hack on a Saturday afternoon.

Know what Obama was doing while CNN was covering that nonsense? He was over at the Interior Department gym, playing basketball with his buddies. Two hours of roundball, and that man is our President. I love it.

Don't let the noise in one tiny slice of one tiny piece get to you. CNN is a joke, and Limbaugh is a pompous nothing.

7. Rush Limpballs HATES AMERICA
During the speech, Limpballs even did the "terrorist" fist bump to his anti-American cahorts. If he wants Obama to fail, he wants America to fail. He is an anti-American right-wing terrorist and HATES America!!!

8. I Think That Calling Him Out
is a good thing.
We've ignored the cult of AM Radio Hate
for too long. The result is a generation
of hate filled ditto heads and fascist wanna-be's

They need to be called out, confronted and their
ideology of hate shown for what it is
in the court of public opinion.

10. This is a typical Repuke "short term gain - long term loss" strategy. Rush will drag them all down

The longer he is seen as the leader of the Repuke party the more damage will be done in the long run.

In 2010 all of his insane comments will be on TV commercials and all the Repukes will be backpedaling trying to distance themselves.

I know it hurts right now but it is a good thing for all of us, in the long run.

12. I said LONG LONG ago that Limpballs and his ilk were
PRAYING for a Democratic victory in November. They had become tired of carrying the water of the repuglican party. They can now get back to what they are best at. Rabble rousing and loudly bitching about Democratic Policies. Limpballs pisses his pants in joy every time he thinks of the words President Obama.

13. He has a very devoted core, and they are exactly what is wrong with this country.
Edited on Sun Mar-01-09 12:52 PM by Edweird
Hold them up in the light for all to see. Expose them as the intolerant assholes they are. Make the right own them. I suggested doing the exact same thing with Coulter over a year ago....

14. I never thought I'd ever say that I'm glad to see Rush elevated to where he is now, but I'm glad.
Irrelevant or not, he is the personification of the RW worldview. And as personifications go, he is particularly noxious. All this renewed notoriety is not making him more popular, in fact the opposite is so. Let him be the leader of the GOP.
