How sweet it is! LIMBAUGH: We're going to go to Chicago. This is Charles. Charles, thank you for waiting and for calling. Great to have you here. Hello.
CALLER: Thanks, Rush. Rush, listen, I voted Republican, and I didn't -- really didn't want to see Obama get in office. But, you know, Rush, you're one reason to blame for this election, for the Republicans losing.
First of all, you kept harping about voting for Hillary. The second big issue is the -- was the torture issue. I'm a veteran. We're not supposed to be torturing these people. This is not Nazi Germany, Red China, or North Korea. There's other ways of interrogating people, and you kept harping about it -- "It's OK," or "It's not really torture." And it was just more than waterboarding. Some of these prisoners were killed under torture.

| I wish that happened, but in the end Rush did the expected thing and cut the caller off so he could spout bullshit unopposed. How is Rush still even on radio? The caller was right, though, he is a Nazi. God I would like nothing more than for that fat fuck to choke on turkey leg and expire on the air.

Ole' Charles, didn't do to shabby with the wind bag.
I like the way he scolded Rush on the torture issue and the fact that Rush didn't immediately respond, like he was at loss for words, letting Charles go over all of his issues without interruption. Hehehe. That doesn't happen to often.
The only thing I didn't agree with the caller on, was Rush being a brainwashed Nazi. I think Rush is brainwashing, for his Nazi agenda.
At the end, all Rush could do was attack Charles's character. The desperation in Rush's voice was loud and clear.
How the "ditto heads", can follow this bull, I will never know.

Actually, Rush isn't used to being called out. That's, I'm sure, why he hesitated. I have seen movies of him and also when he was on Letterman, and every time he was called on something, he was at a loss for words.
There are no Rush debates because Rush can't debate. |

Not Rush's finest hour. And I agree with River Otter, Limbaugh is a brainwashing Nazi, not a brainwashed one.

Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there – on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam. Carl Sagan - 1996 |

Charles was right. Some republican needs to grow a pair and stand up to Rush. As long as Rush , Hannity , Beck , Coulter are the voices of conservatives, representing republicans, they are going to lose the middle. |

Limbaugh has stated he hopes the Obama administration's economic recovery plans fail, which would make America fail economically. He cares nothing for actual American citizens. He wants to leverage any failure politically toward his radio ratings as well as toward his conservative pseudo-aristocratic friends in the hope of reestablishing them in power.
Limbaugh didn't realize that to "hope" for something to fail implies the possibility that it might succeed. If someone were honestly or rationally opposed to an idea they might say "I hope you succeed, but I don't think you will because..." but Limbaugh is not honest or rational. He's just vile.
Likewise Cheney and a few of his cable news pundits have said America is more vulnerable now to terrorist attack. Cheney and the far-rightwing hope America would be attacked so he can apply political leveraging against the Democrats or anyone who opposes his agenda. Bin Laden would also like that as it would lead to escalating overseas US militarism and arrogance toward other countries, which aids his terrorist recruitment. Limbaugh, Cheney, Bin Laden - all in the same evil boat.

The very best of rants; calm and rational with a nice knife-twist to end it.
