Rush responds
MoveOn.org hasn’t moved on yet from demonizing Rush Limbaugh.
He responded to their latest attack ad last night on Mark Levin’s show.
Radio Equalizer Brian Maloney’s got the scoop.

And Ann Coulter, who was pilloried for having the guts to push-back against John Edwards with her own remark.
Note that when Edwards outed Dick Cheney’s daughter on the campaign trail, gratuitously disguising it as a show of “support” for her lifestyle choice, the MSM, instead of attacking Edwards lack of tact, immediately took the bait and went after the Cheney family.
Same here with this situation: the MSM took Obama’s “one” comment – w/o questioning Obama’s motives or reasons for saying it – and have attacked Rush ever since. (I saw on Newsbusters, PMSNBC’s Nora O’Donnell nearly had a conniption that Republicans wouldn’t denounce Rush.)
It’s very small minded of Obama to attack Rush at a time when America needs top-down leadership; but it’s idiotic and dangerous in a supposedly free society, for the MSM to resume their Leftist water carrying ways by enabling Obama to attack their counterparts in the new media w/o question.
Yeah….I think he mixed you up with someone else or something.
There is nothing wrong with that song!
Admittedly, to understand it, you have to actually hear it, and have an understanding of the events that led up to it:
–discussions about whether Bambi, who is not the descendant of slaves, was, or could be, “authentically” black,
–that Joey Biden said finally! a “clean” and “articulate” black man was running for president, which annoyed former candidate Al Sharpton (who showers regularly),
–and that a black LA Times columnist actually went so far as to call Bambi a “magic negro.”
Not Limbaugh. The LA Times.
The lyrics themselves beautifully explain the point:
“The LA Times, they called him that, because he’s black but not authentically…”
The song didn’t start from out of nowhere.
Those of us who have actually listened to Rush must realize that all of these libs,a lot of KOS kiddies, only get their Kool-aid fromm the msm and people like Sean Penn, Susan Sarandon, Michael Moore. I could go on. So we must be sympathetic to them. They really are at a great disadvantage here.
I should have previewed #98 and cleaned up the grammar…
Red State Skeptic said: Nothing worthwhile.
Ha ha. I love how brash Rush is, he is the ultimate entertainer on the mic. He’s the LL Cool J of conservative politics. I love him like I love the New York Post. He has persuasive and coherent ideas, but you have to take him with a grain of salt.
What would you say about a liberal commentator who called the Bush twins the “White House dogs?”
Prove Obama had anything to do with that.
You don’t think that a sex scandal involving a hot TV actress and a Senator was juicy enough that the only reason those records got released was because Obama, who was pretty much a no one then, pulled his mighty strings to get them?
The amount of kooky conspiracy theories that fly around…
Unfortunately, some are comparing this situation with the one between Rosie Odonnell and Trump – how embarrassing!
Obama is a little boy who thinks he can use the United States Government to fight his battles for him. I saw yesterday him spouting about how much he cares about the little guy – the worker who has been discriminated against so what does he do – he extends the time a person can file a law suit! Big Freakin Deal! Then in his most “self righteousness” spcheal – he acts as though he has really done someone a favor. He is a pathic, lying……
I don’t have too much sympathy for Chelsea Clinton, whose first job out of college was for six figures, thanks to being the First Daughter.
But as my Mom sometimes says, “God bless her but she is ugly.”
She inherited the most unattractive physical traits of both her parents. Not even six figure income makeup, hair and warddrobe can disguise that.
BTW, both the Bush twins, especially the one that partied at UT as a student, where hawt!
Must have been…lots of traffic here.
were hawt, not “where” hawt…
You obviously have no idea how hurtful that song is to black people. I repeat: you are clueless as to how irrelevant you are.
Anybody read the posts on the petition against Rush? Most of the comments are for Rush – and freedom of speech.
Backfired like my old 86 Chevy.
That would be his inexperience showing.I’m sure all those who cited Palin’s alleged lack of experience as the reason to vote for Obama must be really proud of their choice.
If it’s so irrelevant, then why is the MSM plastering the fact that no Republicans voted for the stimulus? Why is Rush even an issue? Why is Obama trying so hard to get the Republicans approval?
Sorry sport, please try again.
You think this is ugly?
I’ll admit I think she was an awkward looking teen (who wasn’t?) but I think she turned out better than average.
Like he would leave evidence? Followers of the Chicago Way are more skilled in political slime than that…
Ah. I see.
Six figure make-up, hair and warddrobe has almost elevated her to average.
Go tell that to the race-baiting prostitues like Sharpton and the black columnist at the LA Times that started the whole thing.
The last time the Dems tried to mess with Rush, he raised over $2 million for a charity that supports the families of US Marines. He also matched that with the same amount out of his own pocket, which means that in one case Rush probably donated more to charity than all liberals combined in 2008. Liberals like to use other people’s money (i.e., taxes) rather than their own.
Dingy Harry Reid and the rest of the Dem senators that signed the letter to Rush’s boss were made to look like the idiots they are.
FWIW (not much – my audience is at least 20,000,000 less per week than his), I’m with Rush — I hope BO’s socialist schtick fails to the max.
And I’d say the same thing had McCain been elected, so, for all the racist liberals out there, it’s got nothing to do with BO’s skin tone.
Pretty petty when the most powerful man on the planet taunts a RADIO STAR… Another example that we did not elect a POTUS, we elected a CLASS PRESIDENT…All style, no substance!!!
Yeah…that’s usually what conspiracy nuts say. Verrrry convenient to not actually have to prove anything.
Ha! I could not find where he engaged you either. I think RSS just outed his/her alter ego posting name (theporch) on this board.
Rush’s show is about “advanced conservative studes”. It’s obvious that liberals are unable to comprehend the show because, well, they are liberals. Understanding basic conservatism is required, and I’m sure they are not interested since being a liberal is very easy and requires little thought.
what’s that saying…insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result…insanity runs rampant with the left…Oh Wait! Obama the super hero is in the mix now..that makes all the difference …riiigghhhtttt
We know that Barack Obama’s mentors were many. One of them was Saul Alinsky, a community organizer and rabble-rouser, a pure radical in Chicago. He wrote a book called Rules for Radicals. Number 13 for the rules for radicals is “Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.” This is exactly where the messiah’s comments and ideas originated from and how his bringing up was formulated.
Yup, indeed Cheryl. America is seeing why Obama is not “ready for prime time”, his rank amateurism is on full display. This is just so embarrassing to the office of President.
Yup, again. It’s the same obsessive thin skin that help bring Nixon down. At least Nixon was smart enough not to publicly announce his “enemies list”.
Triple yup. But Obama has had this problem for a long time. Hannity opens his radio show with audios of Obama’s obsession with him. Now, Obama’s obsessive jihad is focused on Limbaugh.
Fortunately, though the Soros-Obama axis has mountains of money to wage jihad on Rush and other critics, Rush and the critics have the intelligence, common sense and hours of airtime to expose Obama. Obama just doesn’t hold up to scrutiny – and he knows it.
And you somehow do? Cry me a river, build a bridge and get over it. Stop pretending to know how black people feel. It’s a knee-jerk reaction for you to think that everything offends black people’s sensitivities. Black people, especially those that have wandered off the plantation and received their manumission aren’t always in need of liberals heavy-handed, I’ll rescue you tactics.
O grow a thicker skin, it was writen by a black man.
Obama is willing to go to war against Rush Limbaugh – but not against the the muslim terrorists who declared war on the USA.
No surprise here.
Rush is like a modern day Sir Thomas Moore.
Chap
Just follow the money.
You don’t need to be a conspiracy nut, to see what’s going on.
face it – Obama got elected because of a bunch of racist blacks and a bunch of kids who haven’t lived long enough to see what happens when they elect someone like Carter (Obama) into office…as long as their prez uses a blackberry -he’s okie dokie with them and they are so self absorbed they wouldn’t know community service if it bit them in the butt…their idea of community service is doing anything to give their itty bitty egos a bump and are as shallow and aimless as Obama is.
I guess Nixon personally broke into the Watergate, Hillary drove herself over to the the FBI and checked out over 500 files, and Al Capone capped all of his gangland enemies in the 20’s and 30’s.
Good thing they didn’t order their minions to take care of business, otherwise we would have just had a bunch of kooky conspiracy theories.
Ha! The MSM? Maybe because of its love affair with the Republican party.
As to Obama’s courtship of Republicans, one can only guess, since he could have a much more ambitious (and progressive) stimulus package passed with or without their support. My guess is he wants to show a good faith effort to engage them, and use their spurning of him to his advantage come the midterm elections. You don’t want to be the party of “No” to a popular president (see the 2002 midterms).
I judge relevance by voters and party identification and such.
We must always remember that it is next to impossible to discuss much of anything with the uninformed. Better to just make a comment rather than to try any dialogue with the o followers. Remember how they treated President Bush.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!
whew…okay…excuse me. What I was about to say wa-
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
Oh God. I am sorry I just can’t stop.
That is the most absurd comparison I have seen since Obama being hailed a Messiah!
Thanks for that nice laugh.
It’s not pretending. It’s actually listening to them. You know, Democrats have black friends.
Oh, get serious! No one was “hurt” by that song who didn’t want the political power that came from calling themselves a “victim.”
Was it “hurtful to black people” when the LA Times published the “magic negro” column?
Was it “hurtful to black people” when Biden patronized Bambi by calling him “clean”?
Was it “hurtful to black people” when Bambi’s authenticity as a black person was being questioned?
If so, where was your outrage?
If not, why not?
Explain the difference. All the song does is satirize liberals by brilliantly summarizing those events.
LOL, the lad is worried about the GOP. Snort!
Are you freaking kidding me? Where did Rush get that statement from? Thats right – from democrat blacks. A black man said it and a black man sang it.
What about all the whites that got their feelings hurt by the speech during Obamas inagauration?
What does that have to do with anything? Walter Williams (a black man) said (on the Rush Limbaugh show) that he was glad slaves were brought to this country so he could live here now. That doesn’t make it any less hurtful to other descendants of slaves, and it certainly doesn’t mean white people should say it.
If you recall , Obama was asked about the song “the magic negro” and he sloughed it off. Why- because it actually made more fun of Sharpton which the messiah felt was a gain for him.
I’m afraid not. I’m actually sonofdy.
Red State,
So long as the right can dismiss Obama as being elected because of silly college students and angry, racist black people, they are condeming themselves to losing again in 2012.
Let them indulge their baseless justifications see them work their election strategies based on them and see where they end up.
… yes and they speak for all black people. Sheesh.
Better yet, since we’re the skeptics, you prove he didn’t. He was-is the favored son of the Chicago Democrat machine; they pulled the strings and set the stage to benefit their staff barer, Obama.
HA HA HA HA HO HO HO!!!!!!
That was truly a pathetic attempt.
ohhh please!!!! We dismiss him because he’s an idiot and “children” don’t have the experience to see it…get over it!
It’s a deal!
OH PS Chap – I know of a black woman who admittedly doesn’t like Obama’s politics but voted for him because he’s black. Actually, I know many who did….now that’s racist! 95% percent of all blacks voted for him…I guess they all agreed with his politics then?
Why not? You seem willing to believe that MoveOn speaks for all liberals.
Or condemn the tolerance of “the left” on the basis of a few hate mails to MM.
Or think “the left” just loves “assasination chic” because some dude on a college campus draws a tasteless picture.
In fact the amount of assumptions about “the left” based on annecdote is pretty healthy here, isn’t it?
Oldest ploy in the book. Tell the world you want to have a “bipartisan” plan. Then lay down a set of non-negotiable (”I won”), unacceptable positions that no person with any EEG activity would accept, and then demonize your opponent for not raising his hands in surrender.
All you need to know about Democrat bipartisanship can be summarized in the changes to the House rules made by Nancy Pelosi. Actions, not words have meaning.
No quarter asked and non given.
I said the right dismisses his election. I was not talking about what you, or anyone thought of him personally.
And liberal lawyers … don’t forget them.
Yup. Because the problem exists with us and not with the GOP within the Beltway. Riiiiight.
Actualy you don’t get to tell me what I can or can’t say.
barak the magic negro

What??
I see the libs are up to their old tricks of impersonating others by using some one else’s name to do postings. Conservatives just be aware of their attempts at deception. Now watch how they respond. This should be good. It is so obvious to spot when they do that. Never fails when they can’t win a debate on the facts they switch to deception tactics. Deception tactics, another why to say “Lies”.
By the way, I don’t argue with conservatives to give them pointers (as if they would listen). I argue because I like to argue!
As a general matter, I personally like conservatives more than liberals and enjoy political discussions with them more than with Democrats. The worst — THE WORST — are the liberals for whom politics are completely black/white, good/evil and think Republicans just want black people to die in poverty and make each other richer.
oy yeah, and don’t forget ACORN. With all the money they’ll be getting from the democrat “stimulus” package – there will be NO STOPPING THEM now! Yeah! Let’s hear it for the Democrat/Obama dictatorship!!!
Chap has to be Rusty! Not that it matters, but this is straight out of Rusty’s repertoire of Feste-like putdowns.
Okay…and in a normal election black support for the Democrat is what? 90?
Do you think the racist black folk and the hippie students are really the reason Obama won? Sure, they allowed him to run up the score a bit more… but as long as you think that everything else is okey dokey in your party, you will lose in 2012 again.
Can you or anyone point to one vote that was illegally cast because of ACORN?
That means cast, mind you voter registration fraud, such as it may be is not the same thing.
Rush & Ann Coulter can defend themselves. Neither need my help, nor do they suffer fools gladly.
That’s why they chose the paths they did, and that’s why they make a very good living at it. They are not politicians.
Go play glory hole with Jon Stewart or Stephen Colbert or Bill Maher. What do you care what Rush does?
One more thing…I know a young man who voted for Obama and the reason being (he actually said this) was because even though he doesn’t like his politics, he didn’t want to stand in the way of something historic! I am serious! These are the people who put this baffoon in office!
Now, I’m done…
Well- that’s enough for today. Back to reality. I am out of here. Have fun kos kiddies.
The economy guarantees different – Americans aren’t easily fooled twice…especially not when unemployment is at ten percent!
Chap – 90% of blacks have never turned out to vote in the history of this nation with the exception of this last election.
I guess you’ve yet to read Bernie Goldberg’s new book, what’s the title again? Oh yes, ‘A Slobbering Love Affair: The True{And Pathetic} Story of the Torrid Romance Between Barack Obama and the MSM’, catchy title, don’t you think?
Well put, well said. I do not remember the Democrats and Drive By Media getting behind President Bush on anything. When Bill Mahr and some other clown celebrity-comedian, I think it was George Carlin, made the statement “We deserved to be hit on 9/11″ the Left Wing went nuts on anyone criticizing them for it as an attack on free speech. Are we being told that Free Speech is to solely a Left Wing privilege? The answer would be yes.
As I oppose everything President Obama, Trophy Wife Pelosi and Dingy Harry propose I would have to Ditto the sentiment “I hope he fails”. Perhaps he can work with Habitat For Humanity with his Idol Jimmy.
Yeah…A Democratic president in the middle of a huge recession, dare I say, “Depression”, putting forth a huge spending plan would never get reelected, would he?
LOl, again. Chappy, we appreciate your concern.
Of course, there’s still the issue with the Democrats not wanting to own their own economic policies. Why do you suppose, since the can & will pass it all on their own, they are panicked the Republicans aren’t jumping on their bandwagon? Could it be they realize that after they drive the economy down to the South Pole with their plan, they don’t want to accept responsibilty for their wrong “solution”? I suspect it’s not just 2012 they realize is slipping away, but also 2010.
Of course, I’m not as worried about them as you are for the GOP, Chappy. Ah, well, I guess I’m not all that altruistic.
Chap, weren’t you just railing away about unfair generalizations made about the left two posts prior to this one?
I meant level of support among black voters. I have no idea what the level of turnout was in the black community, but again, if I were planning an election strategy, I would not rely on the idea that too many black folk voted the last time around if I wanted to win.
I’d say that the liberal commentator has an eyesight deficiency and in trying to offer the “dog” comment would be doing what liberals do – babbling nonsense.
The Bush twins are HOT.
Chelsea Clinton … not so much.
Seriously? If Rush is “an example of the partisan wing of the GOP” then it follows that MoveOn is an example of the partisan wing of the DNC. But I repeat myself.
I wish I could compartmentalize everything into neat little boxes; one having nothing to do with the other.
You cannot deny that this trash overwhelming resides on the left.
Yes. And we haven’t anything to back up those assertions, correct? You can’t be serious.
Not a Chance in hell
True. I had originally said “you” instead of “the right” but had changed it because I didn’t know what the poster I was responding to personally felt. But I amended carelessly. I revise to “some posters here, as well as others I have heard”.
well, that’s just you. Funny thing is, blacks had power all along, they just refused to use it!
Dude; most of the time we have video.

————————————–
YOU, like to argue? Naaahhh . . .
Seriously, it’s good to know that you enjoy REASONABLE political debate, which does not include liberals who have no rational argument other than “Bush/Cheney/Conservatives are evil incarnate”.
Now, as for Rush, I believe President Obama just needs to develop a thicker skin (I would have thought Former President Bush could have given him some pointers on that during their time together). The only way to avoid criticism from anyone is to avoid doing or trying to do anything (someone well known said something along those lines, I don’t remember who at the moment). Agree with him or not, our new Pres has definite ideas about what he wants to do.
Now, as for my own opinion of the stimulus package as it is right now:
HOLD THE PORK!
He wants Republican support so WHEN this thing tanks, the Libs have someone else to blame. That should be easy enough for even you to understans.
Rush on early there? They are All Shook up? Elvis
Well Bless My Soul
I would agree that both are representative of a segment of their respective party. Which is what I said. I would not say Rush is “the right” nor would I say MoveOn is “the left.”
Yes
I’m sure President Bush could have given P-BHO many pointers regarding thick skin, except that the vast majority of the msm (despite RSS’s hysterically fictional assertion above) lingustically fellate Obama every single chance they get. The entire press corps is on their knees before the man, and he’s got his knickers in a twist about Rush?
Ahmedenijad is going to pick his teeth with this guy.
Actually I agree – Thomas Moore no. Diogenes yes.
Ok, let’s go with this … it’s not 90. It’s more like 80.
FDR? Two words – Alphabet Agencies!
All of them were constitutionally questionable failures that, if anything, elongated the duration of the depression and its misery.
PKAmmo…
Maybe you missed the fact that that talked about voter registration. Not votes cast.
I don’t care how many registrations with “Donald Duck” or “Brett Favre” were filed. Well, actually voter rregistration fraud is bad too, so I do care. but registration does not equal votes cast.
Now again, find me a vote that was illegally cast that can be linked to ACORN.
We could just use the DNC’s playbook. Chant the word “Change” without offering any real solutions outside of more spending. /sarc
Some economists are predicting that the economy will remain flat for another two years yet. All this government intervention is only going to prolong the pain.
If things don’t turn around by 2012, the Democrats are going to be hard pressed to use their usual tactic of blaming the Republicans. This is what scares a party with as much power as they now have. They have no one left to blame. The very tools they used to get their newly acquired position are now useless to them and, worse, can be deployed against them. Politically speaking, I believe they would have been better off if they had control of only one house.
So… Like an old dog, they’re still trying the old tricks. They’ll play the “Republicans aren’t playing with us” card for as long as they can and blame Rush. On this, I’ll agree with RSS. Pres. Obama only spoke to the Republicans in order to try and suck them further into the damned if you do, damned if you don’t scenario. I honestly don’t believe that he or Nancy ever expected a complete stand.
They’ve taken notice and they’re going on the offensive.
It seems obvious to me that Rush loves being singled out. These ads are only going to make him all the more influential.
No.
He won because the majority of people what freedom but are afraid of the pain that goes with it.
Debatable, but my point was he got reelected.

—————————————
“Lintuistically fellate” . . . interesting way to put it, but you’re not wrong. And it’s true, if he can’t deal with anyone here who simply refuses to do that, how will he deal with some of the whack-pots out there waiting? He’s going to have to “man-up” in a hurry if he doesn’t want to be a foreign-policy failure.
Even setting aside the many “that was then, this is now” differences, Chappy, you’re overlooking the one major difference I mentioned in my previous comment:
The Democrats will be forced to run against against their own economic policy. That’s why they are refusing to own it in the here and now.
Of course, Obama could launch a nuke attack on Israel and start a World War to salvage the nation from his own economic policy . It worked for the Democrats in the 1940s. But then again that might be considered a bit drastic in this day and age.
So, you’re okay with voter registration fraud, as long as they don’t actually cast votes? Are you also okay with the strong-arm tactics Acorn and others use to bully banks, etc. into doing their bidding (making bad loans, etc.), which is why we are in this mess to begin with? Honestly, I don’t really think that you are in favor of that, but I’m struggling to understand your defense here.
(This discussion probably doesn’t really go on this thread, now that I think about it.)
Okay. I’m more than willing to go there…
It’s hard to tell who’s dumber – Rush or his listeners.
that’s easy – you are!
