‘Pink Smoke Rising’: Read the Cryptic Tweet That Rush Limbaugh Quoted After Obama’s Marriage Flip-Flop

Rush Limbaugh often takes opportunities to demonstrate his sense of humor, and to give credit to funny people, even when they come from a different position than him. The conservative talker has lent his voice, for instance, to the highly anti-conservative television show “Family Guy” as a favor to the show’s creator, with whom Limbaugh is friends.

And today, after Obama’s abrupt flip flop on marriage, Limbaugh decided to quote a sarcastic tweet from progressive consultant Jesse Berney, who took to Twitter after the President’s interview to post the following (apparently entirely facetious) Tweet:

      I think it’s going to hurt him in the polls. Conservatives and Libertarians won’t vote for him. This is probably VERY low priority for most people, but some Liberals and Independents will probably decide to vote against Obama for this decision.
      What percentage actually cares about gay marriage? Probably only the radicals that would have voted for him anyways. 5% maybe? I think most everyone is more concerned about the economy. Of course, Hollywood not included, if they had the tiniest iota of sense, they’d realize Obama is only making the economy worse for us poor workers.
      I know someone that tried to commit suicide a couple days ago because he was left homeless and there are no jobs, and he said that he could only imagine himself living under a bridge. So he’s moving in with my family even though we barely make enough to get by ourselves. Ya, my family are evil Tea Party Libertarians… so evil that we‘re giving a homeless man free room and board and we’re not taking government assistance even though we’re struggling too.
      I wonder if Al Gore, Obama, Biden… did they ever take in a homeless man?
      No that’s right… VP Gore only gave 353 dollars of his millions and millions of dollars to charity in ‘97. Pocket change… we‘re giving a lot more than that and we don’t even make $40,000 a year. I wonder if there was a bubblegum wrapper and some pocket lint with the $353.00

      I might be out of touch, but i can’t even understand the mindset that considers gay marriage a vote worthy deciding factor in a time like this. this is likely the last real election we may ever have(actually thats a big risk with either side, but at least there’s a very small chance we survive 4 years with romney with a democraticly elected leader next term) we ceased being a truely “free” country gradually over the last 15 years.

      Hussein sits like a girl and throws like a girl, but I‘m not sure he’s actually gay. It might simply be that he experimented with it because he’s depraved. Gays tend to be promiscuous, which is why HIV nowadays is spread primarily via gay intercourse. I’ve never met a gay man who practices abstinence, and Hussein would have been forced to as prez. OTOH, evidence shows that Hoo married Moo cuz he’s an @ss man.

      @000degrees
      You’re right that gay marriage is forbidden in the Muslim world, but male homosexual practices are tolerated as long as the victim is a boy. Somehow that makes it acceptable. NAMBLA should move its HQ to the ME.

      Until 1973, homosexuality was listed in the Diagnostic Statistics Manual (DSM) as a sexual disorder. That year, during an American Psychiatric Association (APA) meeting, a group of homosexual activists stormed the meeting and coerced the APA to remove homosexuality as a disorder. The APA caved. So what will the APA remove next? Pedophilia? Probably. Can you imagine a group of severely underweight women–or women carrying buckets in which to vomit–pressuring the APA to remove anorexia nervosa and bulimia as eating disorders? Don‘t think it can’t happen.
