Uh, I guess repeter has no proof. Nuff said.

Like... what?I know that probably no one in the whole world, besides Limbaugh himself could answer this, but what the hell is Rush Limbaugh trying to do all the time? I understand he always yells about something for a good rating, and for money, but why is he purposefully misleading so many people? I honestly have counted more lies then truths when I listen to him....
Like... what?Also, I've heard that occasionally, he has said violent things, which are capable of inciting others to violence
Again, please show some sort of knowledge of what you speak. You dont have to have a subscription to his site to see the transcript of his show. That is all on the free side each and every day.
Limbaugh on Obama: "I fearlessly said and still say 'I hope he fails' " | Media Matters for America
From the 8th of June. Read the title, then listen to the soundbite. 2 totally different meanings.
Rush is speaking of Obama's policies. Yet the hackery of mediamatters, has their title as "'I hope he fails' .
Why do they intentionally leave out the context of it, which is he hopes Obama's economic and social policies fail? They make it read that he hopes Obama fails as a person and leave out that Rush is talking about his social and economic policy.
Also, look at the other links they have to previous stories on this. None of them contain the context of what Rush is saying, which he hopes his economic and social policies will fail.
Explain that sir.
Ready? Go!:waiting:
He says it that way, because he knows it pisses the left off.Althought Rush has stated before that in saying he hopes the President fails that what he really means is he hopes the President's policies fail, he will never correct his statement on his radio show. Instead, he will continue to say firmly that "he hopes Obama fails"...period.
Why does he say that instead of just saying he hopes the President's policies fail? It's simple: ratings.
His job, of course, is to paint the current Democratic administration and the leader of said party - the President of the Unitied States - in the worst light possible. To me, it's treason to make such a bold statement as Rush continues to make, "I hope he (the President) fails". Not "I hope the President's policies fail", but the President himself. He words himself that way because he knows it resinates with his (Conservative/Republican) listeners. But make no mistake. Rush hates any Democrate holding the office of the Presidency. It wouldn't matter if the policies enacted where better than anything anything any Republican could affix his name to. He'd still hate the liberal holding office.

You got nothing, lots of people have said that. Get a life.God I love Rush.
Okay, some time ago Rush was saying that Obama was going to take away gun rights, correct? Well, I just heard on news that a man shot and killed a policemen or something because he heard that Obama might try to take his guns away. Now, if that man heard Rush say Obama's taking guns away, that could be something. It wouldn't be anything if Obama was taking guns away, but he isn;t so it was an unsubstantiated rumor, and if you can trace that back to Rush....you've got a case.
Rush leading the Republican comeback will be like Custard's last stand :doh

He says it b/c he know the left wont be able to let it go.
And verbatim, here we are still talking about it.
He wants Obama's economic policy to fail, b/c he thinks it is bad overall for the economy.
What an extreme viewpoint.:roll:
Has he ever offered to help any politician think?Has any politician ever courted Rush?
I know that probably no one in the whole world, besides Limbaugh himself could answer this, but what the hell is Rush Limbaugh trying to do all the time? I understand he always yells about something for a good rating, and for money, but why is he purposefully misleading so many people? I honestly have counted more lies then truths when I listen to him...and afterwards, I need to watch something true, and not misleading just to clear my head of his rants. Also, I've heard that occasionally, he has said violent things, which are capable of inciting others to violence, so I'm wondering why doesn't anyone say anything? I understand that if a liberal tries it, everyone will start yelling at the liberal. There are plenty of conservatives who think he's crazy, so why don't they do anything about it? Honestly...when I listen to him... it's amazing to me how no one has attacked him yet.
Rush is not an economist, not that I think enonomists have any more clues than anyone else....
Funny, for all that Rush has to say, it is almost always hindsight...does he have any original ideas? Has he ever offered to help any politician think?
Has any politician ever courted Rush?
Neither are you, but you still talk about economics right?
Try listening to his show. He is always ahead of the game. But you have to actually listen to the show as it happens, not be hindsight yourself and pick up a week later on dailykos or mediamatters, what he said 2 weeks ago. :thumbs:
Actually Harry Reid tried to have him fired. You probably dont recall this, b/c you never listened to his show.

Great post.
Such a simple notion that Rush fans don't get. He is not an Economist. He is not Lawyer. He does not have a degree in Business, Public Policy, Political Science, or History.
The man dropped out of college after less than 2 years. He uses terms and discusses theories he does not understand at all. He lacks the critical thinking abilities of a college graduate. A sad statement on his audience and our society at large.
I don't like that in our society we sometimes reward underachievers. We reward ignorance and/or lack of education.
A functionally-illiterate professional athlete I understand. He has a talent people will pay to watch and thus contributes to the economy. Of course, when he is no longer able to preform...
But what 'talent' does Rush have. Being angry and ranting? Fine, there are many very educated people on both sides that make a living doing angry rants. Why do we reward lesser people doing this?
If his rants were half-way intelligent, I'd understand. But IMO, he is the bottom of the partisan barrel. No substance.
Are you going to seriously sit here and come from the premise that unless you have a college degree, you are inept at critical thinking?
Your not an economist either, yet you still talk about it right?
Just b/c someone goes to college doesnt mean they are educated.
Thanks for your uneducated opinion, now go and educate yourself.:mrgreen:
