I have listened to Limbaugh for years and cannot, in any way, remember a single thing he has ever said that can be construed as
hate.
If I missed it, please present some specific examples.
I think Rush is FAR MORE educated than 90% of the graduates of our liberal university system. And, almost every single one of his points is backed up by the actual words spoken by the individuals he discusses. The same holds true to laws and regulations.
I also don't think he "hates" Obama. In fact, I share his view that our current president is, by far, the most unqualified, inadequate, and dangerous chief executive this nation has ever had! He is doing everything in his power to turn us into a socialist/progressive nation.
I also personally think that his "office mike" comments to the Russian President shows me that he is not only all of the above, but nearly traitorous.:drill:
I mean no disrespect, but to say that Rush doesn't peddle hatred is to be completely deaf, dumb, and blind.
This was man who makes millions demonizing people in the same manner that Josef Goebbels did so in the 1930s.
Nobody demonizes his political adversaries more than Limbaugh left or right, and if you don't think that is hatred, I can't explain it to you any further...nobody can.
You want examples how about some of the kind things he has said? That's very easy:
1. About Obama: "A halfrican American", "the Magic Negro", and his whole repititoire of insults: "communist, socialist, muslim...".
2. Told a female Black caller "take the bone out of your nose and call me back!"
3. Called the NFL "a battle between the Bloods and Crips".
4. Called Chelsea Clinton (age 13) "the White house dog".
5. Made fun of Michael J Fox Parkinsons disease because he supported stem cell research
6. Called a woman a "slut" and "a prostitute" because she dared suggest that contraception be covered by insurence.
7. Claimed Blacks were teaching their kids to hate America
8. Called soldiers that criticized the Iraq war "Phony soldiers"
9. Calls women who don't subscribe to Rush quaint views as "Feminazis"
Do I really need I go on? Or shall I begin with the stupid and erroneous things Rush has said. If you think this college drop out is somehow smarter than 90% of university students that too displays remarkable amount of ignorance on your part. A small suggestion: One doesn't demonstrate superior intelligence by sneering at the better educated.
Again I don't mean to sound disrespectful. But your comments show either an astonishing amount of ignorance, either that, or you are simply an apologist.
We are in a very polarized political atmosphere especially in the media, and the person who chiefly got us here wasn't Bill O'Reilly, Sean Hannity, Keith Olbermann, Glenn Beck, or Bill Maher. It was Rush Limbaugh. Rush hate track has been going on 25 years, ever since he was going under the name Jeff Christie.
One final thing, I am not a Democrat nor that great a fan of Obama. I think Obama has made some bad decisions and has come across as a weak leader and ineffective leader even against the racism, disrespect, nastiness and bullying he has received from the rightwing. That being said: he is 100,000 Times better than the last Republican we had in the White House. Nobody, not even Obama, caused a greater clusterf**k than the GOP did last decade. Obama doesn't even come close to that level of suckage.
