terrorist Rush Limbaugh says gays are being used as a battering ram against the Constitution

Rush Limbaugh opened his show extremely upset about yesterday's court ruling overturning California's Proposition 8. He said that the Reagan-nominated judge's ruling shows that the "federal judiciary now run by leftist nutjobs." He also called the ruling "tyranny" and claimed that Democrats aren't "cheering" for gay marriage, they are cheering "for weakening the U.S. Constitution."

Limbaugh then suggested that Sharron Angle's comments claiming that Democrats "want us to treat government as God." were "exactly right." He called the California ruling a "bastardization" of the law and the Constitution, and suggested that gay people are "being used as the latest battering ram against the Constitution." Limbaugh even went so far as to claim that the idea of "secession" is no longer "the rantings of extreme kookism anymore," because the Prop. 8 ruling and the Missouri ballot initiative on health care show that "the left only loves elections when they win them."

Limbaugh also found time to criticize Michelle Obama for her trip to Spain, saying the First lady is "doing her Marie Antoinette impersonation." Rush continued to criticize the administration for its response to the Gulf oil spill, telling Press Secretary Robert Gibbs that he should apologize to Gulf residents for doing "more to harm the economic viability of the Gulf of Mexico than BP did."

4. Reason legitimates law, it does not
"bastardize" it.
You have bastardized the media, Rush Limbaugh.
In fact, you have bastardized all legitimate political discourse.
There is no rational judgment that applies to you.
There is no excuse for you either.

6. So gays were used as battering ram huh....
Then what was wiretapping used as...how about reading every ones emails. And how about doing away with habeas corpus...I guess when the republicans do it ,every things OK. After all Bush said the Constitution was only a G.D. piece of paper. And after reading this I have searched the Constitution and have never seen any thing about prohibiting any type of marriage. I guess the founding Fathers have more sense than the bunch of crud balls called republicans do today.

9. Battering ram?
Rusty Limpdick is a pretty big gay battering ram, but still there aren't equal rights for gays in this country.

11. The Bush "victory" in 2000 already proved that the "will of the people" doesn't matter!

13. I'd been wondering why so many people...
I'd been wondering where the impetus for so many people righteously criticizing the First Lady's trip to Spain had come from.


I should have known...
