Limbaugh's final break w/reality, he is certifiably insane now...

[rasputin1952]

Yesterday, on the show, Limbaugh went to great extremes about a few things, (what's new?). But when he got to the diatribe about Liberals are the racists, the sexists, homophobic, the haters of all that are not like themselves, I nearly drove into a ditch.

His message of the day, and this is a Heads Up, because one has to figure the RW will use this as their new mantra, is that Libs/progs/D's, are the purveyors of hate by being, racist, sexist, homophobic, anti-Israel, anti-Muslim pawns for a corrupt and deadly agenda.

This is about as far from reality as one can get w/o looking at Mars and yearning to return to "the home planet".

This is a direct 180 from the truth, it is so far out there that I cannot fathom how anyone but Nazi's could accept this as any form of truth. While he was talking up this garbage, I swear I hear Truth squealing in the background as it was twisted into new and horrible distortions.

One of the major reasons RWnuts despise us is because we have fought for the Rights of minorities, women, gays, peace, equality and a host of other ideological points that would make this country, and hopefully the world a better place in the future. How Limbaugh could twist that into the exact opposite is mind-boggling.

I figure that by the end of the week, if "El-Rushbo" isn't in an asylum, those of us that work with, and have other contact w/RWers will actually start hearing this stuff from the rank and file. My suggestion is to just laugh at whatever is being said, and calmly put the truth out there for them to digest. If they take what Limbaugh said seriously, the RW is truly at the point of desperation, and they have to at least feel that they are about to go over the cliff.

1. well - lies exactly like this cost the Dems the election in 2004 n/t

2. "...I nearly drove into a ditch."

This is why I quit listening to limbaugh. He was railing against the UPS drivers who were on strike several years ago and said something along the lines that they should just be greatful to have jobs and work overtime with no pay. I started screaming and cussing, nearly driving into oncoming traffic. Right then and there I decided that life is just too short to be aggravated like that.

10. I have to laugh occasionally, like when my boss tells me he

can hear me yelling at the radio from half a block away...:rofl:

I sometimes wonder if the citizens of my small city wonder if I have gone over the edge when they see me shouting at Limbaugh when I take the time to see what, "the leader of America and Nobel Peace Prize Nominee" has to toss out for the day.

I have to wonder if this maniac actually thnks before he speaks...one day last week he took on the D's saying he'd fight them to the end, "because WE have the 'soundbites'". What the heck that was supposed to mean, other than, "we'll serve you what WE want you to hear", is beyond me...:shrug:

Delusion is essentially a long downward spiral, in Limbaugh's case, he just dove right in...:D

[Vickers]

3. He spews so much shit, even his own body rebeled by going deaf.

:eyes:

[liberal N proud]

4. Nothing new with the right wing

For a long time now they have always projected their failures and fallacies on their opponents. Limpballs is just doing the same thing that bu$h and cheney did during the 2000 and 2004 election they called Kerry a flip flopper in 2004 when we just recently were shown cheney's opposition to Iraq invasion during bu$h 1 regime.

It is a tactic used by these people to make their base think they are not the criminal war mongering fascist they truly are.

[Lasher]

8. True that.

The 'class warfare' and 'liberal media' slogans come quickly to mind.

Rush might have been inspired by Cindy on this one.

[frogcycle]

5. no, he is right on target

haven't you been paying attention?

up is down
black is white
war is peace
hate is love

[KansDem]

6. "Insane?" But he has a lot of money, so that makes him "eccentric"

That's a more polite word...

"Insane" and "crazy" are reserved for those of us who pay taxes...

[Demit]

7. I don't know how you can bring yourself to keep listening.

You know what he's like, what his purpose is. He has to continually try to top himself, in outrageousness, to keep his listeners. Why do you keep listening? What do you expect, that he'll be different? You should do yourself a favor and listen to something else, esp. if you're driving. It doesn't help anything that you are familiar with his ideas. If a coworker broaches the idea to you that liberals are purveyors of hate, wouldn't you have the same look of incredulity on your face regardless of where the idea came from?

[underpants]

9. Simply projection and diversion. Seems that the "next 9/11" thing has changed too

Used to be that the noise machine said that liberals WANTED another 9/11 so as to embarass Bush (the obvious problem here is inexplicably 9/11 is still a CREDIT to Bush and their cause) NOW we have had at least three articles in the last few weeks saying by lower members of the noise machine saying that another 9/11 would be a good thing. I think they just needed someone to sound it out so they could focus group on it.

[roseBudd]

11. One thing we have failed to co-opt probabbly because we are not sheep is the...

Email chains that use an anecdotal or or strawman argument, laid out in a dramatic way and ends with

FORWARD THIS TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW!!!!

An example of one progressives could have sent out was the case of the Baltimore boy who died from an infected tooth.

This is how those people (the masses) process information. It has to be tied to rage and the idea that they can do something by simply forwarding emails. We could harness the lemmings to spread our ideas if we arre clever enough to do it.

Someone creates the ones these people arre already disseminating and I do believe it is planned at the highgest levels.

[gratuitous]

12. Snacking at the pharm bar again, Mr. Limbaugh?

You know how that plays across America, don't you?

[TreasonousBastard]

13. I TOLD you to stop listening to that asshole. I don't wanna...

hear you're stuck in a ditch somewhere.

Anyway, Pigboy is irrelevant because his listeners are either:

Limabaughciles who have no way to know fact from fiction, and don't care-- they are a lost cause.

Liberals, Progressives, and others who listen just because they need a reason to get pissed off on a fine summer day.

[rasputin1952]

15. But I LOVE to get pissed off on a fine Summer's day, why

leave all of that animosity to the RW...:D

Odd thing is, I can only take any of that crap for maybe 10 minutes...Limbaugh, Beck, who is on
FOUR times a dfay here!...but the absolute WORST is the Savage Weiner....he gets 30 seconds if I happen to make an error at night and hit the wrong button after 2200CDT! Now, he's calling for death for those who disagree w/him...:eyes:

[shenmue]

14. *Liberals* hate those who are different from them?

All that Oxycontin went right through his eardrums and into his brain.

:crazy:

:dunce:

He needs an insane asylum.

[Cheap_Trick]

16. Rush just needs to be put down "Old Yeller" style

like you would any other rabid animal.
