Heh, Heh, Heh!!!
The caller struck a nerve, and another chickenhawk got his sensibilities hurt.
My favorite part is when Rush, who never served, called the caller, who served in both the marines and army, ignorant.
The caller correctly called out the Limbaugh, Levine, Hannity crew for the sour grapes they have been spewing for months.

You lost this one on your terms, Rush. Quick....take some oxy, and mock a handicapped person. You'll feel better!

I heard the call and the caller certainly called Rush out. Of course Rush and got in the last word while cutting him off. Rush's call screener must have fallen asleep on that one.

**gazhekwe** · April-08-09, 02:07 PM

Rush to caller: "You think you know everything... You are really ignorant ... You're an embarrassment..."

Really sounds like he is describing himself

**Johnlodge** · April-08-09, 03:13 PM

Rush's retort was basically to hang up on him and say "nuh-uh, you are!"

**Flanders** · April-08-09, 03:46 PM

Limbaugh knows that his hardcore listeners are gullible dittoheads, and all he really has to do is be the reassuring voice coming from the dashboard speaker that confirms, approves, confides, and expands on their fears, hatred, racism, bigotry and hypocrisy. He doesn't have to be truthful or fair and balanced. He doesn't have to mention anything good that Democrats or the Obama administration has or is doing in the US. He just focuses on spinnable subjects that have the greatest potential for making him look like a great lone wolf American patriot, defending and promoting wholesome conservative values and the GOP, while criticizing the corrupt liberal socialist and Democratic POV with only a mere microphone and a broadcast signal as the tools of his trade.

The problem is that serious minded conservatives are rare.

I like Ann Coulter, Sean Hannity and Bill O'Riley

**oladub** · April-08-09, 04:36 PM

Flanders, I think he should try to be truthful. However, you are quite correct that he doesn't have to be "fair and balanced" anymore than you have to be "fair and balanced" when dissing his fans. I also agree that "he doesn't have to mention anything good that Democrats or the Obama administration has or is doing in the US". No one has to listen to him and/or they can listen to Air America instead.

Since this thread started out mentioning "brainwashed nazi'", I wondered if one of the abundant Rush experts here knows whether Rush verbally supported Bush's Wall Street bailout. [[?)

I dissed his hardcore dittohead fanbase, who IMO, are aptly named, and I am aware that there are likely many other listeners who do not accept everything he says as gospel, just as I do not avidly listen to and agree with everything Olbermann, Cenk, Maddow, et al have to say. I also read many topics and post on some liberal AND conservative websites, such as Townhall, Free Republic, Daily Kos, and Democratic Underground. I don't listen to biased talk radio at all, and prefer the internet to form and base my admittedly more politically left than Obama opinions. .

Flanders, have you ever listened in to the show? I thought not. You paint with the broadest of brushes. But that is what every single one of Obamaâ€™s supporter do. I, on the other hand, would never make such sweeping generalizations.

LMBAO talk about double talk.......lol

**Jimaz** · April-08-09, 08:21 PM

It's as if the GOP is now held together with only a zipper but they keep zipping it open when they should be zipping it closed. The zipper has only a finite length and they're playing a game of chicken to see which half of the GOP finds the end of the zipper first. Armageddon politics! LOL!

Was the caller [[a McCain voter) sincerely advising Rush or not? It seemed he was at least trying to appear to help Rush with constructive criticism.

You seem to miss the point that all Rushie does is paint with broad brushes.

**Jimaz** · April-08-09, 09:39 PM

Not quite as broad and glaringly obvious as the one Flanders bolded.

That big GOP tent collected a few too many who aren't helping their cause ... and don't even know it.

ccbatson · April-08-09, 11:14 PM

Brainwashed by whom? Nazi? In what sense? Not in the sense that he endorses free enterprise, individual liberty, and smaller government...all polar opposites of Naziism.

This is what is meant by ignorant, no matter what the service record of the caller might be.

In absolute honesty, I think the opinions of some of the leftists on this site are totally the most offensive, vicious, inhumane filth I have ever heard ANYONE speak about another group.

Speaking of offensive-were you here during the days of conservative posters like Karl, Craigd, Perfectgentleman and Steelers? There wasn't anything nice and polite about those guys. I think they set the tone for negative attacks which were responded to in kind.

**ghettopalmetto** · April-09-09, 08:24 AM

I will admit that I lean a bit to the left of center. I understand the principles of conservatism, though, and actually subscribe to several of them.

Rush Limbaugh is no conservative. Conservatism has an intellectual basis. William F. Buckley was a conservative. Theodore Roosevelt was a conservative. Ronald Wilson Reagan and his worshippers are rooted in decidedly anti-intellectual, emotionally-based reactions to concepts they don't understand--which is a great deal of things, considering they tend not to have any curiosity about anything different than what they already think they know.

How is that worse than conservatives calling democrats socialists, who hate America, embolden our enemies, calling Obama a terrorist who wants to destroy America, had homosexual relations, isn't American, saying Kerry shot himself in the leg ot get out of vietnam, calling anyone who supports Al Gore's global warming science an idiot, calling Michael Moore a big fat, anti-American idiot, etc, etc, etc...

Kid, you obviously weren't here when Perfectgentleman and Craigd were here.

How is callling someone a socialist negative? If someone embraces aspects of socialism, calling it as one sees it isnt exactly demeaning.Why is the medical system many think he wants to implement called "SOCIALIZED medicine"? When Obama goes overseas and criticizes the country he is suppossed to be loyal to, he and his fans have to expect some people to truly question just how much he likes the country.Many people feel he backstabbed his constituents.How is it slanderous if the speak about something that deeply offended them? If his actions truly offend or anger Americans, well, there are repercussions.Al Gore? There are still many scientists who complete disagree.I wouldnt call anyone who believes it an idiot, but I think partisan bias clearly plays a role in who some choose to believe and who to ignore altogether.And Michael Moore IS anti-American.He said Americans voters are the stupidest people in the world. He also scolded another country for trying to emulate America, saying "thats like taking a piss on yourself".

I remember PG and Craig, and believe they were exagerrating a lot of the "far-right" stereotypes knowing it would piss off people reading them. They knew how to bring attention to themselves.

Personally, Im just getting really tired of people on the left accusing those on the right of being "racist". Thats a powerful word.And I don't believe it's true. I haven't exactly seen the Democrats or Liberals helping minorities. In fact, it was Republicans who passed civil rights bills. As long as democrats have KKK-alumni Robert Byrd [[im not slandering, its a well-documented fact, look it up) on their side, its hypocritical to accuse their opponents of racism. Then, theres the constant attacks on here about Republicans being "greedy" and money-grabbing. Blanket statements one and all. Why no vitriol about Pelosi's numerous big-buck buisness ventures that wouldn't even allow union labor [[see the book "Do As I Say, Not As I Do" by Peter Scweitzer) or her corporate jet? What about the Kennedys deep pockets? Theres plenty of blame on both sides to go around. But more than a few on these posts very carefully select who they will single out to give a mouthful to.

Unfortunately, newspeople like Rush have made words like socialist and liberal into dirty words in the minds of many. They have the attitude as Rush showed in the sound clip that if you disagree with me then you are an idiot.

As for the second part, I could turn that around. Obama is our president now and people should respect him. He is the leader of our country. Do we now question anyones patriotism that speaks bad about him? The people that were so up in arms about any negative comment the Obamas made about the country's policies are often the same people that will complain about many of his policies. How is this different?

Many people on both sides of the political spectrum are too quick to ridicule and bash those with different opinions. It's as if people forget that it's our differences in opinion and the willingness to come together someplace in the middle is what truely makes this country great.
