Rush say's he hope Obama fails.
We have 2 wars, our economy is down. Why would you wish any president to fail, oh I forgot because you have 400 million contract and that reaffirms how patriotic you are.

Well, if we had to judge your beauty by your pics, that wouldn't really leave much to talk about, would it?

The FOX headline is a misquote, to begin with. And the misquote is repeated in the subheading and the lead sentence.
According to the unattributed witness in the "news" story, Obama didn't say "Stop listening to..."
He said "You can't just listen to..."
There's a big difference in meaning between the two statements. Yet starinvestor goes for the FOX mis-interpretation hook, line and sinker. No surprise there, son.

The only thing interesting about Rush Limbough is his reputed homosexuality. He's just another ultra-right wing closet case. If the rumors weren't true wouldn't he sue for libel or slander?
Limbaugh has admitted himself that he is an entertainer and not a journalist. Does Obama, or any Dem or lib for that matter, think that Republican politicians form their voting agenda by tuning in to Rush?
The Repub lawmakers are tuning in to their constituents right now; not Rushy.
He's maybe a step away from Howard Stern; and their contracts are similar. I'm surprised The Chosen One would stoop to even acknowledging Limbaugh.
Even Jr. didn't acknowledge Maher, Olbermann and Co.

You didn't even acknowledge the fact that you monkeyed around with actual quotes.
"You can't just listen to Rush Limbaugh and get things done" is what Obama said to GOP leaders in a fairly off-the-cuff, non-scripted remark.
Of course, this sounds fairly tame. There's not much there there.... And you, being the hyper-partisan that you are, and wishing to beef up the partisan quotient chose to... what?... spice up the sentence a bit and give us a rabble-rousing headline:
----------
Insecure Obama taking shots at radio host
'stop watching Limbaugh if you want to get things done'

Nowhere does it indicate to me that Obama is "insecure". You pulled that out of your ass in order to create a more sensationalized post. If we go back through the many, many months of anti-Obama threads (and comments) you yourself have posted... what does this constant drip-drip-drip of Obama-bashing indicate about your own "security"?
Of course, Limbaugh is now forever quoting Obama's remarks on his own show, like it's all about him, working it, milking this publicity for everything it's worth, pretending like he's the center of political gravity (Limbaugh: "He is hoping that these Republicans will also publicly denounce me and thus marginalize me... If I can be made to serve as a distraction, then there is that much less time debating the merits of the trillion dollar debacle." --- oh, yeah, right, Rush. -- Obama was looking to use a has-been radio host as a distraction to deflect criticism for his stimulus package)

Thank God he is now telling the truth.
Actually, yes. Rush has propagated right wing propaganda for years that has twisted the brains of his listeners soooo damn much that they don't really know right from wrong anymore. If you are told that 9+9=25, then you will be useless when you are faced with a quadratic equation. That is how Rush has worked on his listeners... their thinking is so fucking backwards that they cannot come up with the proper solutions to our problems anymore.
Maher does not disseminate lies disguised as truths. Olbermann does not take kindly to bullshit and has made a hell of a career exposing the douchebags in Washington for what they are. Maddow is the same.
None of them tell lies.
Limbaugh makes a living lying to his listeners and presenting them with half truths and disinformation.
A lie is a lie and Rush has been caught lying NUMEROUS times...
Maher, Maddow and yes Olbermann have NEVER been caught lying to the people.
Rush is a problem for America and his listeners are some truly xenophobic, racist, authoritarian and dangerous people.
Hannity and Glen Beck are just as guilty but have not wreaked the kind of havoc on rational thought that Rush has over the years.
There's a book out called FLUSH RUSH and it picks off the big one's misquotes, errors and plain fantasizing.
It's one of a number of book on the Fat Moron.
I don't think Rush is gay, but has hinted on air of his use of viagra and 'easy women' when he visits some tropical island on his vacations.
If he's gay, then he is a hypocrite. If he is a die hard Republican, he's a hypocrite (how many marriages? Wasn't one of them done while he was pilled out? Why don't these women come forth and tell their sides?)....
Rush does complain to be an entertainer, but that's a lie too. He takes his role in politics very seriously.

I highly agree and he is most likely an unwitting accomplice in an elaborate psychological operation
Something also tells me that if one of his wives came forward, they would wind up with some really bad luck and might even end up a corpse. Exposing a PSYOPS operation usually carries a pretty large penalty one might say...

All of them make a living telling certain segments of the population what they want to hear. Olbermann doesn't lie outright, but he does equivocate (as pundits are want to do) which isn't far off. He and the others speak their opinion, which is fine and perfectly within their right, but no one should be getting all their information from these people.
To equivocate means that there is a desire to mislead and Olbermann is a straight shooter with no desire to mislead anyone. I would hardly characterize Keith Olbermann as "beating around the bush"... he is as direct as you can get on TV.
Yet he is extremely partisan. He hops on one side of an issue and stays there vehemently; making animated faces and voice inflections.
He's not much higher on his delivery of information than Rushy.
I know what equivocate means. How do you know what his intentions are? He talks straight as he sees it, which is fine, but he does not present both sides of all the issues. He's also very smart, so I don't believe for a minute he doesn't *know* there are two or more sides to every story. So either I overestimate him and he really isn't fully informed or he is choosing not to paint the full picture for whatever reason.
I don't have a problem with people watching him. I watch him. He's funny and sometimes finds topics I haven't heard about. The only problem I have is with folks who watch only primetime MSNBC and think they're informed citizens who then, ironically, set about on the internets mocking folks who just watch Foxnews.
He is extremely partisan, but this is in the context of one of the most charged partisan divides that this country has ever experienced since the civil war.
The Republicans are usually wrong and siding with "Big money" is never going to get this country anywhere but bankruptcy. The Republicans have run this country into the ground with their deregulation and laisse fare economic policies. It's too bad that the incredibly successful Republican president from Arkansas was into similar economic policies, because now we are fucked.
I for one, was sick and tired from the news agencies expounding the "company line" of the Bush administration and was fucking RELIEVED when Olbermann went on the air. Finally there was one fucking television bubble head that chose to tell the truth and be the voice of the people.
The only people that believed in Bush during his second term were the die-hard right wingers who will never see the light no matter what.
The rest of the country was sick of his administration's bullshit and authoritarian practices. Keith is a hit because he tells the truth and MSNBC has bucked up to become an effective counterbalance against FOXNEWS's right wing propaganda.
I am sure that deep down inside that you are onboard with the new era that we are embarking on, but just won't ever admit it in public. lol!!!
I've still got plenty of faith in you despite your apparent distrust of Obama, who hasn't been a proven liar by any means. :smile:

I agree... but I haven't even bothered with this thread, as I knew it was about Rush Limbaugh, who's a fucking blowhard. For Obama to even name drop him is quite bush league. Whatever... unless it's some prelude to start down the slippery slope of that god awful "Fairness Doctrine". I don't think so, I want to give ol Barrah a bit more credit than that.
