‘You Jackass’: Rush Rachets up Anti-Obama Rhetoric

ABC News sets the stage:
Derision of the president on his program is nothing new, but Rush Limbaugh’s tone today may have struck the ears of regular listeners as particularly disdainful, taking his contempt of the president to a new level.
Limbaugh bashed Obama as an “economic illiterate” and “ignoramus,” as he analyzed Obama’s opposition to extending Bush tax cuts to the top income tiers. Then he hammered even harder:
“Mr. Obama, our imam-child, they have already taken their trillion dollar ball home, and they’re sitting on it, you jackass.”
(Limbaugh’s been calling the president “Imam Obama” for several months now.)
“Extend the tax cut to everybody, and you’ll inspire confidence,” Limbaugh argued, saying that added degree of certainty would free business to spend some of the capital they’re holding onto and hire people, “which, once upon a time, we were told, was Obama’s top priority.”

Posted on October 5, 2010 at 9:32pmI did not think that Rush was too hard on him. I was laughing my ass off listening this afternoon. It is time for the grown ups to take charge. Plain and simple. WE THE PEOPLE cannot allow the children to run amok and just do whatever they please. It is time for some DISCIPLINE. The Democrats are about to get spanked and sent to their rooms.

Posted on October 5, 2010 at 9:30pmThat’s very true Rush! I am a small business owner and I see everyday that other small business owners are not investing because they don’t yet know the rules to the game that Obama is playing with America. Not to mention there are no loans to be had by anyone who doesn’t still have a perfect credit rating! (Few and far between these days) We are slowly figuring it out the game they are playing, but the progressives have a huge head start on us. I am praying everyday that November 2nd is a move in the right direction. We need to restore and deliver the reins of power of our country back to the people. Trust me, we can handle it. We surround them, not the other way around’

Posted on October 5, 2010 at 9:23pmStimulus bailout had no economic clarity. Part of the reason why the stimilus failed, contrary to what Obama says, the Socialist Marxist expected the stimilus money to be spent and these corporations would fall deeper in debt to this administration, failure to payback debt, would then enable the government to confiscate private property. The spending didn’t happen and the corporations are saving themselves by holding on to their assets. Obama’s failures are the glue that hold the political center together.

Posted on October 6, 2010 at 12:26amAgreed. The problem is that small business owners care about what happens and they were smart. Most of them saw it coming and did the best they could. Now its a waiting game to see if they spend the rest of their brand new from the press Benjamins, or sit on it until the market fails to respond to it when they throw it at wall street every time the market dips 300 points in a few hours… Eventually they will run out of money. Either they’ll keep printing and put us into hyper-inflation or stop and let the market crash… They should do the latter. thats the cycle that all economies go through. When you try and stop it you dig the hole so deep that no one can’t get out…

Posted on October 6, 2010 at 8:42amMany people are posting statements claiming President Obama is “incompetent,” “dumb” or “stupid. They are just plain wrong.
To classify Mr. Obama as “dumb” one must believe that he is actually trying to improve the economy. In recent history, almost all coups, resulting in a dictatorship were preceded by a very severe economic crisis. Remember when Rahm Emanuel , Obama’s chief of staff, stated one should never waste a crisis. What do you think he meant?
Mr. Obama presents 3 alternatives:
Ignorance, which can be cured with knowledge
Stupidity, which is forever
Evil, he plans to avenge King George III by destroying the American Revolution and create a dictatorship.
Almost every initiative that Obama has instigated is destructive to the economy. Does anyone really believe that a President can be that stupid or ignorant? If you do, I have some perfectly dry, vacant land that is completely ready for development in Florida for sale cheap, cash only. http://commonsense21c.com/

Posted on October 6, 2010 at 9:47amPersonally, I think you have it wrong on the gold issue. You have to sell it to be liable for capital gains tax. Gold/platinum/paladium ALL have industrial uses. The whole point is to have a commodity currency that is still worth something when the dollar is worth nothing. Inflation or not, even if the dollar stays dominant as a currency (and comes down in “value”) you still are left with something that equaled roughly what you paid for it in terms of what you can buy. Physical gold investors aren‘t looking at their investment like it’s a usable checking account or CD, but rather a long term hedge against a day when the paper dollar won’t buy much of anything on a world market. That being said, I also, agree with the food/fuel/lead proponents. I wonder though, in this day and age, where are you going to find a defendable “cave”? … Big Brother is everywhere now. I believe somebody above implied he would be able to take your stash by force anyway … is that what we’re planning on becoming? Has anybody considered that just five years ago, in was inconceivable (unless you had paid attention) that we would be talking about planning seriously for the downfall of this very country? People who have really paid attention for years aren’t surprised (they also didn’t pay $1,000/oz. for their gold) … nor did they start planning recently. But, we’re kind of off-topic here aren’t we?

Posted on October 6, 2010 at 8:38pmWalkwithme….if you vote for liberal democrats, you are “so bad”. ” Liberals/progressives politicans and those that put them in power (you) are taking our freedoms, sinking our grandchildren in debt, reducing our national security, pulling the rug out from beneath our troops, and the list goes on. In short, you are destroying the country which we love, whether you know that or not.
Read the constitution and ask yourself if federal involvement in so many areas: education, entitlements, arts, etc etc (what you want to see government do) is allowed by the document you’re reading. If you are honest with yourself you would answer ‘no’. The constitution clearly, repeatedly, and severely LIMITS the size and scope of the federal government.
Have you ever stopped and wondered why America became so rich and powerful, with such a high standard of living? The world has never known a country like ours. You have to admit that. But what made us so? It was our founding father’s knowledge that growth of government inevitably limits freedom…and the constitution (which sprung from that knowledge) enshrines the freedoms and opportunities we have enjoyed for most of our history. I’m sorry you disagree with the document you and your ancestors have benefited so greatly from. It’s a little like biting the hand that feeds you, don’t you think?
If you were half as smart as I’m guessing you think you are, out of your own self/family-interest you would join us in demanding a return to the founding principles which made this country great. Hopefully before it is too late for yourself or your children.
I don’t think there is hatred. I think there is justifiable anger and fear of the loss of our beloved nation.

He’s not one of those elitists with a college education, but he knows that if we don‘t let Bush’s tax cuts expire on schedule, that rich people will you give a raise and hire more people (although admittedly at the moment companies have excess capacity because of the lack of demand). We’re talking serious trickle down here everyone!
And although Rush has no education in physical science, he knows way more than climatologists about global warming – all those fancy scientists are just trying to make as much money as Rush does (ha, fat chance of that – they’re too dumb!!). And no way Rush is misogynist, but he sure knows a woman’s place. He’s not a racist either, but he knows what is right on that score.
