Caller calls Rush a "Brainwashed Nazi"

**ghettopalmetto** · April-09-09, 09:54 AM

That's precisely the problem, though. People like Rush and his sheep have no interest in "meeting in the middle".

**GOAT** · April-09-09, 11:51 AM

Good people get shot every day and yet fat fuck addicts like Limbaugh are still around to annoy. Just like cockroaches...

**firstandten** · April-09-09, 02:40 PM

With Rush getting $38 million a year with an extension thru 2016 equaling $400 million plus a $100million signing bonus it makes it real easy for him to actually believe that crap he gives out to the public. No wonder why we have so many conservative talkers out there whether they believe in the stuff there are talking about. It doesn't make a difference there is some serious dollars out there.

Makes it a lot easier to be a patriot when you make that kind of money.

HP... but that is still rather tame as compared to Limgbaugh and Coultier, isn't it??

When it comes to offensive, vicious and inhumane filth... it's hard to top Ann Coultier's condescending comments about the 9/11 widows...

So you might want to keep that in mind the next time you call this forum trash talk...

Limbaugh is not brainwashed. Sheesh.

After an extensive hour long search on Google, this all I could find on Rush's charitable donations. Geeze - Rush, don't break your bank account. Especially after a hefty tax break.

By Stephanie Strom, New York Times News Service | October 20, 2007

NEW YORK - After Rush Limbaugh referred to Iraq war veterans critical of the war as "phony soldiers," he received a letter of complaint signed by 41 Democratic senators. He decided to auction the letter, which he described as "this glittering jewel of colossal ignorance," for charity, and he pledged to match the price, dollar for dollar.

On Thursday night, Limbaugh, the conservative radio talk show host, said he thought the letter would bring in as much as $1 million. He was wrong.

When the eBay auction closed yesterday, the winning bid was $2.1 million. It is the largest amount ever paid for an item sold on eBay to benefit a charity.

SOrry pally, but Obama and democrats aren't socialists. If you think they are, its obvious that you don't know what the word means. Especially when more wealthy voters supported Obama and he also got more corporate donations.

LOL! Funny how when a democrat criticizes GOP policies it means "They are criticizing their country", but a republican spewing trash about a democrat president is ok.

Obama did NOT criticize his country. That is absurd!

The majority of scientists agree with Gore. Still even if you disagree, does that give conservatives the right to slander an defame those who support him?

Partisan bias has nothing to do with the global warming debate. Many prominent republicans support global warming action. Its not a political debate. Only radical conservatives made it one!

"Michael Moore IS anti-American.He said Americans voters are the stupidest people in the world."

Rush Limbaugh said the same thing yesterday. Does that mean Rush Limbaugh is an anti-American? In fact the audio of that statement is above.

"Personally, Im just getting really tired of people on the left accusing those on the right of being "racist""

Go to the storm front site to see why those on the left say that. Also Google Rush Limbaugh's "Barack the magic Negro" quote.

"As long as democrats have KKK-alumni Robert Byrd"

He joined the KKK when he was 15. So criticisms about Bush's service are wrong because it happened a long time ago, but criticisms about Byrd are valid? LMFAO!!!!!!

Thanks for bringing up Pelosi. There are daily hate attacks against her.
But of course, you're a poor innocent victim who never did anything to anyone, right?

I think you are being very silly about this topic. Conservatives by no means are poor innocent victims. All you have to do is turn on conservative hate radio to hear the most vile, disgusting and horrible things you'll ever hear anyone say about another group.

If someone keeps railing against the CEOs of privately-owned companies or shareholder owned companies and demands salary caps on guys who arent being paid by taxpayer dollars, but want to take that money in the form of taxes and give it to special interests, what is that called? Ok, maybe not socialism. Give it your own name then. And "Socialized medicine"- the name says it all.

Calling America "arrogant" and talking about its people being self-centered is not "criticizing GOP policy". Its badmouthing the population.

If democrats/liberals want to shout about political opposites being "racist", they should not be voting for a kkk-alumni. It is just as relevant as Bush's service. You CANNOT claim to be the party that champions the minorities if you continue electing a former kkk member. Sorry. You just cant. The Democrats need to give him the boot and do a hell of a lot more to condemn him. You cant just say "oh its in the past, forgive him" then dredge up arguments about conservative racism by people who never even belonged to a bona-fide hate group. Bush, Cheney, Limbaugh, etc. never belonged to a blatantly racist organization whose sole purpose was to keep a certain race oppressed and threaten their families. I am pretty damn sure the Republican party would ostracize and disassociate themselves from a klansman.Supporting and electing a former Klansman sends a weak message about fighting discrimination.

Pelosi? She strongly endorses unions and environmentalism but she and her husband have invested billions into ecologically destructive buisness projects and refsed to allow unionization. What does your defense about her having attack threats have to do with the fact that there are serious discrepencies between her public comments/causes and what she actually uses her deep pockets for. Its hard to defend someone of such dubious standards. Defend her criticism of the Auto CEOs using a plane and her environmentalism vs her own fuel-gulping, eco-unfriendly jumbo jet. Can't the democrats find someone of stronger virtue and integrity?

Conservatives are not 100% pure or innocent. But if you think the democrats are superior in honesty and ethics, then you need to expand your sources.

Oh, I bet Howard Deans allegations of "the white mens party" isnt in the least bit offensive or racist in your view? And saying "Republicans haven't worked an honest day in their life" is tasteful and taking the high road? And making fun of Limbaugh in front of a group of people by imitating someone snorting cocaine? THAT is unacceptable. I have NEVER heard an allegation of Limbaugh using coke. Pills and coke arent the same drug, and to imply someone is a cokehead is irresponsible. I guarantee the GOP would never put someone like that in charge of the party. They will not elect smeone who runs off at the mouth with inflammatory, inaccurate rhetoric.

Lastly, during the election, one poster here made a crack about McCain having skin cancer. Wow. Clever. What if someone on the right made a joke about Ted kennedys illness? But its okay to wisecrack about McCain being "one case of melanoma" from death. You dont think thats vicious? I TRULY cant recall anyone cracking on a left-winger about their ailments in such a cold, careless manner

After an exhaustive search on your link, I found this. And half of that Rush Limbaugh donation was a letter from the Democratic Congressmen that was sold on Ebay back in 2007. Does Herb Alpert make anywhere near what Rush has made ? Spend an hour searching on line and find something else.

2. Herb Alpert, $13 million.
"The Herb Alpert Foundation: music education, including the UCLA Herb Alpert School of Music"

10. Rush Limbaugh, $4.2 million.
"Financial assistance to the children of Marines and law-enforcement officers killed in the line of duty."

I'm waiting to hear.

ccbatson · April-09-09, 09:32 PM

Look up the word socialism yourself DSF...think about it, apply the Obama agenda of bailouts, corporate taxation, growth of government, class envy, and then draw the only possible logical conclusion.

Rush is one of the Nazi brainwashers.

My favorite line: "Why isn't he in uniform?" Exactly! They can talk the talk, but can't walk the walk.

**jiminnm** · April-10-09, 11:10 AM

What's your point, Bigb? I'm not defending or crticizing Limbaugh's charity. Whatever the answer, it's irrelevant to anything else discussed here. All those folks, including Limbaugh, are celebrities. They make a whole lot of money and can do what they want with it. They are under no obligation to give any away, or report to anyone [[but the IRS) if they do.

To answer your question, I expect herb Alpert has some sizeable multiple of Limbaugh's wealth. Alpert sold 80+ million albums when recording and performing and performed thousands of concerts. He created and owned [[with a partner) A&M Records in the early 1960s. They recorded so many best selling records it's impossible to name them. Alpert received $250-300 million when A&M was sold in the 1980s. He's been giving millions to his charity for years, probably so it isn't lost to the govt when he dies [[as is Warren Buffet).

Blarf · April-10-09, 04:30 PM

It would have been funnier if the caller poked fun at Limbaugh's Oxycontin addiction.

Calling someone a Nazi is so cliche and rather lame.

**Bigb23** · April-10-09, 06:50 PM

What's your point, Bigb?

"With Rush getting $38 million a year with an extension thru 2016 equaling $400 million plus a $100million signing bonus"

My point is that a guy who mocks the less fortunate in society, [[i.e. the homeless guy who was crushed to death, sleeping in a dumpster), for humor and profit on the radio, has a pretty piss poor record of charitable donations to the society that allows him that chance.
You're right, he can do anything with his money that he wants. But as a celebrity, it's out there for people to comment on.

ccbatson · April-10-09, 10:17 PM

He mocks the institutionalization of the "less fortunate" which creates and imprisons individuals in this role.

**HPGrmln** · April-11-09, 09:49 AM

Just because suppossed "capitalist" nations have socialized medicine does not mean its good.As much as I like Canada and its people, their system sucks.Ive talked about it to numerous Canadians visiting Detroit. They dont like waiting over a month to see a doctor.All the best doctors are out of system. And if it was so good, why do a bunch of canadian nurses cross the border every day to get medical jobs HERE? I dont see a bunch of Americans going oer the bridge every day for jobs at Windsor or Sarnia hospitals.

And you have to be joking about "Howling" Howard Dean.That guy DID NOT assemble a great party. Bush was so controversial and polarizing enough people just wanted something completely oppositte of him. Even if it was the Democrats themselves that won, it was Obama who got people voting Democrat and volunteering/registering. I never liked Dean as a person. I always thought he was a cocky, brash, uncouth, tactless bully.He reminds me of the kind of guy who goes onto the field at his sons little-league game and punches the coach.His politics aside, I find him hard to like and nothing short of a bottom-feeding a**hole. To make my case: I disagree with Dennis Archer on every position. I was extremely dissapointed to read on fundrace.org that he donated money to the campaign of racist extraordinaire Al Sharpton.However, I have great respect for him as a person and his service to the community.I disagree with Robert Ficanos politics, but I do not dislike him as a person.Both are more than welcome to bring a 12 pack of Pepsi to my backyard barbeque and make themselves at home. I didn't like Howard Dean BEFORE I was even aware of his policies. I strongly doubt he had much to do with his parties success.The man is a disgrace and a jerk and the party would have won without him.

HP, You seem like you are a very hateful person. It appears you have no moral or spiritual grounds, and a narrow minded outlook on life and people. You shout it in your posts, the way you are so critical and judgemental. Lighten up, will you?

ccbatson · April-11-09, 03:14 PM

Deeper thought..why was that person homeless and in a dumpster?

Every Canadian I know has choice words regarding the state of the Canadian socialized medicine system as it falls deeper into decline.

Heck, this is Detroit, drive over to Windsor and ask a few folks for yourself.

I never used to be this way. But you get really frustrated and angry after hearing people use the same tired talking points to rip on every single aspect of anyone with philosophical differences. "That guys a conservative, that means he's a bigot and wants everyone to suffer." No conservative can do a single good deed in the minds of all these countless people, who cannot bring themselves to open their minds and admit that their political opposites are not the otherworldy monsters they make themselves to be. Im angry because I live in severley polarized country where too many people think its impossible that any good can come from someone elses side. Im getting angry because people are putting party affiliation before anything else and are blindly loyal to a party that is more flawed than they like to think. Im getting angry because we can't put political signs on our private property without narrow-minded loyalists stealing or even burning them. Im pissed that I had a political bumper sticker on my car supporting the Republican candidate and someone walked onto my private property and pulled it off my personal vehicle in the middle of the night, and far too many people of their mindset publicly condone this. I do not know even one person who tampered with anyones property containing an advertisement for a Democratic candidate. I hear story after story of conservatives being publicly reviled and harrassed, but never liberals or conservatives being harrassed in the same vein.If I sound angry, its because Im tired of the blatant disregard people have for anyone whos views dont fit within their personal narrow mindset and refuse to listen to opposing viewpoints with calm, friendly dialogue, or without violating personal privacy or private property rights.

Also, you seem to have forgotten Strom Thurmond. Did Trent Lott [[R) "ostracize and distance himself" from him when he said "When Strom Thurmond ran for president, we voted for him. Weâ€™re proud of it. And if the rest of the country had followed our lead, we wouldn't have had all these problems over the years, either."

If I recall correctly, though, the republican party quickly distanced themselves from Trent Lott solely because of that comment. And thats fair. Strom Thurmond was probably largely responsible for the shaky image the party has with blacks. The party still has a lot of making up to do, and Lott set them back a few decades.At least his career suffered for it, and thats partially why I think the party would distance themselves from anyone else of that mindset.
