Sadly, there are many who equal or top him in assholemanship. Controversy spells ratings in his world—but he may be an asshole in his own right, so I don’t cut him any slack.
The man is just sick. I can’t believe that Christians want to claim him. In the 80’s I was in Christian circles and people used to gush about how great he was. I listened to one of his spiels and was so repulsed I never listened again. Why is he still on the airwaves?
I would have said Briebart myself. unlike Rush who’s just a vocal asshole, Briebart actually destroyed jobs, and organizations made to help low-income families for his sociopathic rightist agenda.
It’s poetically fitting that his heart called it quits and shut him up for good.
He’s a “fat old cunt”, according to my ex, and I’m inclined to agree with him. Obviously as a liberal, I hate him, but to think that some conservatives worship him is embarrassing…
Well, I wouldn’t go so far as the whole of the GOP as being assholes. I know plenty of “good” Republicans who are for fiscal conservatism but who believe in personal liberties. Sadly, few of them are in Congress and even fewer on the airwaves. The kind of Republicans I like are people like David Brooks and David Frum. Sadly, they are few and far between.
@Dutchess_III,
You are correct, there are some Christians that listen to and love Limbaugh. But there are many (like me and many of
my friends) that are repulsed
by the rather large waste of chromosomes that is Limbaugh. Luckily many of us are waking up and don’t follow the party line. We actually prefer to think for ourselves. Unfortunately there are many, far too many, who prefer to have other people do their thinking for them. Even if they don’t exactually agree with him, they don’t like to get their hands dirty and investigate things on their own.
You know, the more I read about this the angrier I get. I tried to discuss it with a co-worker who didn’t know anything about it, really. She assumed that he was was referring to the “taxpayers” paying for the women to “have sex,” he was referring to welfare recipients. Never try to discuss issues with someone who has no idea what it going on but has Definite Opinions about it.
@tom_g, I was watching that at a Red Lobster yesterday. (I live in OH, we don’t have many seafood places) I was laughing so hard I caught the attention of other diners and the waitress. Many of them had seen it also and understood my reaction. @Rarebear, I love that number, but there are still some that have stuck with him. It is great how the people have risen up for once and the businesses are paying attention!
Now 40, @Rarebear. Yay. I wonder if there is anyway to find a list of advertisers who are still with him, and write letters of protest and threats of a boycott?
I want a bumper sticker that reads “Abort Rush Limbaugh.”
@Dutchess_III, thanks for the compliment! :). I was just afraid that I was looking at it incorrectly. I read in the Reader’s Digest recently about Misophonia- a new “disease” where certain sounds elicit a desire in hearers to escape the vicinity, sometimes violently. Does this count?! :0)
