Limpballs compares President Obama to Zimbabwean tyrant Robert Mugabe

[jefferson_dem]

LIMBAUGH: The standard of living around the world has increased in places where there are basic free markets. Where there aren't, of course, the standard of living has declined, such as Zimbabwe, the former Rhodesia, now run by Robert Ogabe -- Mugabe. I was confusing him with a well-known Kenyan named Barack Ogabe. This is Robert Mugabe.

Please forgive me. I did not intend that slip-up to be made. Barack Ogabe and Robert Mugabe, at least in human structure, are two different people. I don't know about policy, but, basically -- regardless, regardless. See, I'm embarrassed I stepped in that -- Barack Ogabe.

1. "Kenyan"?

So he's jumped the shark now and gone into Birther mode? He'll fit right in with his moronic listeners.

22. I believe Kenya considers Obama a citizen of its country

That's another red herring they point at, because Obama's father did have his son's birth registered in Kenya.

It doesn't have any effect on his US citizenship, just as his stepfather's making him a citizen of Indonesia had no effect either.

[TTUBatfan2008]

23. He's not Kenyan though...he's American.

Being a citizen and actually being natively from a country are two very different things. The Governator is a citizen of the U.S. You don't hear anyone calling him an American because he's not.

[high density]

2. Barack Ogabe

Yeah I'm sure Obama is really afraid of that smear...

[Chulanowa]

3. Even without insults, he's wrong.

The standard of living around the world has increased in places where there are basic free markets.

Argentina, Honduras, Iraq, Russia, Chile, the Balkan states, Thailand, South Africa... Really, Rash? Really?

[MadMaddie]

26. What do all of those countries have in common?

They have implemented Milton Friedmans free market theories and they have destroyed themselves.

Naomi Kleins book "The Shock Doctrine", details it quite well.

4. Now what could Obama and Mugabe have in common..were both

of their mothers named Stanley Anne? Is Mugabe a Stevie Wonder fan too? I can't think of what those two would have in common...someone help me here.

[Chulanowa]

8. Obama must be trying to grow that stupid lip-dip moustache

Oh, I know! They both wear ties!



See, they're like fucking twins because of the ties. Uncanny, no?

[TwilightGardener]

9. That IS weird...what are the odds of BOTH of them being tie wearers AND Presidents?

That must be it.

[onetwo]

21. Mugabe looks like he's about to pop his collar, so he might be as cool as our guy :)

[mitchum]

5. Even though Herman Goering was a fat drug addicted Nazi I would never compare Limbaugh to him...

Goering was very intelligent and a war hero

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

6. Limbaugh is nothing more than Ann Coulter with tits. nt

[Ilsa]

12. LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL! I love that! May I use it? Have others been using it,

and I just missed it somehow?

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

14. I just had an epiphany last week. I'm not aware of anybody else who's said it.

But I could be wrong. I would think somebody else might have thought about it somewhere. It's OK to use as long as you pay the royalties. :P

[mitchum]

16. LMAO!!!

Well done :)

[LiberalFighter]

19. I think more like Jabba the Hut

[firedupdem]

7. The next drug bust should be coming some time soon. He'll

either get busted or keel over from the extra work his shell of a heart is doing to keep his ass breathing.

[musette_sf]

10. and Kenya and Zimbabwe are, like, the same country and everything...

i see his geography skills are on a par with Miss Teen South Carolina...

[4lbs]

11. If there's someone who is overexposed, it this OxyDude.

n/t

[izquierdista]

13. Limbaugh's new exercise plan

This might get him to peel the pounds off -- reaching real far and digging real deep to find things to throw hard at the wall and see if they stick. Who knows, by 2012, he might actually be in good physical shape! :rofl: :rofl:

[CJCRANE]

15. I always thought Bush was like Mugabe.

Totally incompetent.

[Starry Messenger]

17. He isn't even pretending to be coherent anymore.

When are his listeners going to realize that they are listening to the diseased rantings of a madman? Honestly, Howard Hughes made more fucking sense.

[JohnnyLib2]

18. He's confusing his code words.

But using them frequently. :grr:

[rvablue]

20. Fuckin' liar. He didn't slip-up. Governor "I'm not taking the stimulus" Sanford of SC was the first

to say this last week.

It's a RW meme smear.

And Pigboy should be embarrassed, but he's not. I think shameless is a better adjective for him.

[BlooInBloo]

24. He got that from the Governor of South Carolina.

25. Oh Rush they are similar because they are black?

Mugabe has murdered his own countrymen, women and children.

You are losing your hold on reality. Your desperation is showing.

How low can he go?
