Rush hasn't been this flummoxed since he accidentally let his NAMBLA membership lapse.

[11 Bravo]

The ACA is working. The target number looks like it's going to be reached. The increase in health care costs has slowed dramatically. Limbaugh knows he has to lie, but what lie to tell? "Cooking the books" sounded promising, but there's not a shred of evidence to support that, and it doesn't appear to be taking hold. Lying about the number of sign-ups can be easily disproved. He could try to trot out another phony horror story, but people are getting tired of being laughed at after being exposed as either fools or bullshitters.
What's a paid professional liar/propagandist to do?

7. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Of course he would be stealing Hannity's smoke.

12. Yes, we'll always have Benghazi ...

25. We need more Ben-ghasm!

Two jizz rags of Ben-ghasm!

4. Bonus points for use of the word "flummoxed".

[Ilsa]

5. "Cooking the books," "you can get get a fraudulent birth certificate

anywhere," and plenty of other tea parties lies to attempt to discredit the Administration will fail again.

trying to use the "cooking the books" lie, but not even Chuckie Todd could buy that whopper. It's the first time I've ever seen that little maggot dismiss out of hand a Republican lie. Whoopsie!

11. I think that was John BarrASSo.

As usual, pulling shit out of the second syllable of his surname.

[catbyte]

27. Yep, that's the one.

[hedda_foil]

28. Ya think the other kids called him Bareasshole?

[jimlup]

13. I'm fifty six years old and never in my life

have I seen the right froth at the mouth as much as they are over the ACA. They lie outright and often. I would not be surprised at all if the "problems with the government web site" reported today were due to organized right wing denial of service attacks.

We must have hit a nerve. They are freaked out. Unfortunately, the media has bought into their false narrative.

[madinmaryland]

15. They froth at the mouth at the non-white Democratic President. At least with the previous

Democratic president, they could relate to him (because of the blow job and skin color --> though many of the Repukes don't do it consensually).

[NoOneMan]

14. I don't think you should spread lies about people--even Rush

He would never let his membership lapse

[11 Bravo]

18. I stand corrected.

You are exactly right!

[Ms. Toad]

16. Please stop trotting out "Rush is gay" as an insult.

It is offensive, because gay can't work as an insult unless gay is a bad thing.

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

19. It's even more offensive to imply NAMBLA has anything to do with gay people. nt

Auto correct WTF!

[DeadLetterOffice]

22. Thank you, yes it is. n/t

[Ms. Toad]

26. While I don't approve of NAMBLA,

it is, unfortunately, a fringe gay group. It is not the NAA(dult)C(hild)LA - it is gender specific (as well as being age specific).

Given the history of using gay to insult Rush Limbaugh on DU (see my other response), using NAMBLA to bash Limbaugh feels to me like a clever way to get away with calling him gay, without doing it directly.

[11 Bravo]

20. NAMBLA is about pedophilia, NOT simply being gay. I assume you believe ...

pedophilia is a bad thing.

[Ms. Toad]

24. It is both,

and using NAMBLA to bash him looks to me like a clever way to call him gay yet get around the condemnation you would almost certainly receive if you did it directly.

Particularly given the long history of using gay to insult Limbaugh:

17. just keep on lieing. the dittoheads will swallow anything

21. In case anyone was worried that folks don't know the diff between "NAMBLA" and "gay":

On Mon Mar 31, 2014, 07:50 PM an alert was sent on the following post:

Rush hasn't been this flummoxed since he accidentally let his NAMBLA membership lapse.
http://www.democraticunderground.com/10024759429

REASON FOR ALERT

This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate.

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

Implying someone is gay as an insult only "works" if the implication is that it is negative in the first place. Stop using "gay" as an insult. (For those who do not recognize it, NAMBLA is the North American Man Boy Love Association.)

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Mon Mar 31, 2014, 07:56 PM, and the Jury voted 2-4 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: NAMBLA is a pedophilia organization, not a gay organization. It is most certainly negative to be associated with. The alerter is either confused, intentionally obtuse, or perhaps more homophobic than the poster, as they're implying gay = pedophile??
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Is the Alerter implying that NAMBLA is a legitimate "gay" organization? I don't get this alert at all. The post is fine.
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: As a queer person, I find this alert totally bizarre. NAMBLA does not equal gay. NAMBLA does equal creepy pedophiles. I have no idea if Rush is a creepy pedophile, and if he were a Democrat then calling him that without proof would certainly violate TOS, but being bitchy to Republicans is half the fun around here.
Juror #5 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #6 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given

Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.

23. Apparently at least 3 DUers (the alerter and 2 jurors) don't know the difference.

Kind of sad, actually.
