10 Things You Didn't Know About Rush Limbaugh

Posted March 6, 2009

Propaganda 101

Rush peddles propaganda using the standard recipe: Take a tiny kernel of truth and wrap it in a great big lie. It’s fitting that those who buy into the BS concocted by this dropout drug addict call themselves dittoheads – proudly declaring that they can’t think for themselves. Unfortunately, about 25 percent of the population believes whatever they are told by the radical right, just as another 25 percent is in lockstep with the liberal left. It’s up to the rest of us to determine what’s best for America by separating fact from fiction, reality from rhetoric, and divisive windbags from wise, insightful commentators, regardless of their political persuasion.

Rush Hates America

Limbaugh has fooled his followers into believeing it's okay to be ignorant. Opposing views are not allowed to explain themselves on his "show" because sunlight into the EIB dark cave would expose Limbaugh for what he is, a master of misinformation.

Limbaugh has become the main spokesman for the Republican Party. Limbaugh's rants about how he hates what America has become (he hates America) has angered so many moderate voters, the Democrats have Limbaugh to thank for their majority. The Republican Party will never regain respect from swing voters until the Republican Leadership publically admits Rush is a hate-monger, a racist (turns everything about Obama into a race issue), a traitor (wants our Commander in Chief to fail) and has no respect for our Troops (he's currently promoting suspicions about every one of the 3,000 Muslim in the US Military and openly blames the Koran for the shootings at Fort Hood)

Rush Good for America, good for freddom

Since the education of what made America a Great nation where every man has the opportunity to rise to the level of their hopes and dream is sadly lacking. A voice who understands those principals is a voice crying in the wilderness in most today's media. Government can not and will not represent the path to move America forward, only a free market economy can do that. Those who see themselves as enlightened voicing larger government mandates, funded by evcr increasing taxes, handouts favoring one section of the economy, special groups of the population, completely miss the lessons history has taught us, or as in the case of our educational system, chosen to not focus on that part of our history where the yeoman, the trades man, the shop keeper, the farmer, rancher, build this nation to the prominence it has in the world today. What other country is know as the land of opportunity, is that still true today? Rush understands that evcr growing restraints placed on our citizens, by those subscribing to the Obama left wing agenda, where opportunity is granted by the government, where peoples rights are no longer inalienable, where the working man fruits are seen as a resource to fund the next great government handout, or program strangling the very vine from which the fruit was produced. Go ahead rail against Rush and those voicing a similar message, but to do so we look at what countries who have chosen the path that a small group of ruling party members know what's best for the worker, have left the worker in dismal straits, economies stagnant, where a mans spirit sags to the level field of hopelessness, and despair, where no one is free to change their stars, once America becomes that place, the place of Obama's true vision, where on this globe will the dreamers spirit yearn to flee. Where will the next beacon of freedom beckon, It doesn't exist, It's here, and we have been blessed to be a part of the one great moment in history, where a place exists that a boy can arise in the morning, put his boots on, and go forth and change his stars. Rush understands the reality of these words, and has the guts to speak them in a public forum. We need alot more like him. When our news media fails to speak the truth they fail to be relavant, and are less and less influence in our society. We the people know the truth, but sometimes we need to take the time to listen hear the message long enough for it to be once again fixed in our hearts and minds. Good Bless, the USA

CAT

Only a cat would live with this jerk.

Rush and Glen

Rush Limbaugh is the most ignorant individual I have ever seen. He turns me completely off. He is NO entertainer. He believes everything he says. He insights the ignorant. I think he should be taken off the air with his hateful talk. Why he is still on the air is beyond me. He and Glen Beck are the worst. I can't stomach either one of them. This country needs to look forward not backward. They both need to crawl back under the rocks where they came from. They both are the lowest form of humanity.

Bad Influence for America

Limbaugh is a strange person and to bad that he influences so many people.But millions of Americans seem to want the worst kind of advise.I also understand that he takes in around 38 million and that is very upsettind as well.

TRAITOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

RUSH WORKS FOR THE COORPORATIONS THAT ARE RUIN THIS COUNTRY WITH HIS VERSION OF SO CALL CAPITALISM.THE ALL SCHHOL EXTREMIST RIHG WIN LIKE RUSH WANTS AMERICANS IGNORANT OF THE CRIMES OF THE COORPORATIONS USING THE FLAG OF LIBERTY TO COVER THEIR CONSPIRACY. RUSH AND THE CONSERVATIVES WANT AMERICA TO BE SUMISIVE AND IGNORANT

Rush Limbaugh

People take Rush Limbaugh too seriously. He likes to poke fun and is serious at times. But he is self agrandizing and that is what makes him interesting. Don't let his rant and rave turn you off to him. He has a soft side. He adores his cat Punkin and is a softy around that cat. He just does not see being soft on crime, terrorism, national debt, liberalism, and weak national defense is the way to go.

Limbo Rights

Please *repost* it *WITHOUT* the cuss words: thank you if you do. I was carried away.

I really don't want the version of the cuss words posted as not only does it violate the TOS but it violates morality.

Hot Air

"Boss" Limbaugh is a blowhard and a drug addict. He certainly does not represent all of the people from Cape Girardeau, MO. I am embarassed to say that I also am from there.
