Limbaugh
 

Rush "Douche-nozzle" Limbaugh has issued a polite (that's sarcasm) invitation to Obama to debate him on his radio show. How can Obama resist honey like this:

You tell me how wrong I am and you can convince the rest of the American that don't agree with you how wrong we all are.

...I would think, Mr. President, you would jump at this opportunity. Don't send lightweights like Begala and Carville to do your bidding -- and forget about the ballerina, Emanuel.

...we can question each other, in a real debate. Any time here at the EIB Network studios. If you're too busy partying or flying around giving speeches and so forth, then send Vice President Biden.

Yeah Rush - that's how you convince people to do something. Be a totally disrespectful jack-ass and why wouldn't they want to do what you say, right? :rolleyes:

partying or flying around

hahahahaha

Re: Limbaugh
 

If I was Obama: "Your double quarter pounder is waiting for you at your the nearest drive-thru."

Re: Limbaugh
 

I wouldn't worry. Obama has Limbaugh exactly where he wants him (and the funny thing is, Limbaugh has Limbaugh exactly where he wants him too).

Rush: the face of the Republican Party.

Meanwhile, less frothy conservatives like David Frum can only hold their head and weep.

Re: Limbaugh
 

A little more from Rush today apparently:

He said the effort was being spearheaded by White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel, who Limbaugh refers to as the "power behind the throne."

"Don't let his effeminate nature and his ballerina past mislead you on this. He may look effeminate (he was a ballerina at one time) but he has the feral instincts of a female rat defending its young," Limbaugh said.

What an asshole.

Re: Limbaugh
 

Go figure, Sean's allowed to cuss. You left out the f-f-word. ooops, left out one of the f's. ;)

Re: Limbaugh
 

...i guess rush must've missed the ELECTION. or doesn't he believe in democracy? if he doesn't, then he's unamerican and should be thrown in gitmo (where he'd have a lovely time because it's such a cushy place to hang out and eat chicken - i know because he told me so!)

Re: Limbaugh
 

Wasn't Rush saying similar things about Obama during the campaign? Effeminate, skinny, not a real man, feeble, effete...

Of course we couldn't possibly call Rush a misogynist because he was careful to mention the virtues of the "female rat". (RAT, ffs!) Clever Rush, very clever. But not quite clever enough.

Slightly o/t, and generalization time, but what is this correlation between Repubs and macho/aggression/hostility to intellect? Why for example is it so predictable that action heroes like Stallone, Arnie, Seagal, Norris, etc - star of many a "put brain in neutral" action flick - would lean that way politically? Sometimes the real political divide seems to be between the cerebral and the visceral, with a higher proportion of Repubs gathering around the latter.

Re: Limbaugh
 

You have to be a macho man to be president in the US, some would believe. Then again, I'm sure that Limbaugh is threatened by anyone that doesn't have to ask for 2 seats on an airplane anyways.

Limbaugh really is a disgrace to anyone that would call himself a conservative or Republican. If I was a republican I wouldn't be able to stomach the idea that this buffoon was one of the most vocal spokespeople for my values.

Re: Limbaugh
 

ann coulter employs the same tactics. Pretty much every time she describes a liberal it is with language that emasculates them or intimates they are homosexual, which is the same thing as emasculated in their eyes, or defeminizes them if they are female liberals.

Such obsession with sexual identity with conservative pundits is interesting to me. I mean there are a lot of ways to be a demagogue.

But then Utah is the capital in the country for online porn subscriptions, all other red states a close second, so I guess its all making sense :confused:. in some other universe anyway.

Re: Limbaugh
 

That's all right, some people are slow to catch on to what's really going on.

Glad you're finally up to SPEED. ;)

Sorry, I should add, as I LOVE being the thorn on a rose, I'm not at the half-full level of reminders. ;), ;)

OH, and also, I don't give a shit that the U.Z.A (Zombies) have a hard time swallowing the truth. It's wake-up time.

Re: Limbaugh
 

Hear you. That's one of the very very few things I'm looking forward to about our upcoming conservative government - a return to all those sex scandals. There have been far too few in these past 12 years of Labour. There's nothing quite like the exposing of hypocrisy from those who typically shout the loudest about family values and sin.

Re: Limbaugh
 

"...and did one of those slugs walk into those traps, no, not one of them..."

Re: Limbaugh
 

(((((;))))))

Re: Limbaugh
 

All I know is that Rush Limbaugh is the last person who should be leveling criticism at anyone over their physique. Rahm Emanuel may be a little guy, but he's not gonna die of a fat-induced coronary any time soon. Or a drug overdose for that matter.

In regards to your comment on "democracy", please refer to my Song of the Day dated 02.27.09. Second choice in it's full length version. Not to crazy about it, but the samples are quite on the spot/mark.

He's sexy when he's mad. too.

Re: Limbaugh
 

Ya know, how does a man like that have an affair? I want one too, and I'm not even married.

Awaiting dubman guy to get pissed...

Re: Limbaugh
 

So it does seem as if the White House and overall Democratic Party are using this whole Limbaugh thing as a way to take shots at the Republican Party. I have to say that I have mixed feelings about this. On the one hand, Limbaugh has been a dishonest, moronic voice for all that's wrong with today's far-right conservatives, but on the other, engaging in this kind of gutter-debate is pretty counter-productive. Gibbs, the White House spokesman, has admitted as much, but it does seem that the strategy is continuing.

But it's also hard to ignore that there's quite a bit of truth to the claim that Limbaugh appears to be the current leader of the Republican Party. There's a vacuum in the space that should be occupied by some kind of leadership on the right, so it has to be filled by someone, and Rush seems to have seized the opportunity. Hopefully something constructive'll come out of all of this - maybe in the form of some reasonable, moderate Republican stepping in to fill the void and bring the conservative movement into the 21st century in a way that actually helps the country. I guess we'll just have to wait and see how it all plays out.

Re: Limbaugh
 

Oh c'mon, sean, it's a sideshow circus act to keep our minds level in the real mess that mushroomed under the past 8 years of rule.

And I don't care what anyone wants to argue in the blame game. It mushroomed under the past Republican leadership, no doubt about it. As well as they more than few blind faith Republicans who refused to acknowledge the mess going on. I've said it before, and will say it again: Turn your back on something long enough and it will bite you in the ass.

Really, how do you think the affair was accomplished? I need info.

Re: Limbaugh
 

You say this as if I claimed something different? I just question how worthwhile it is for the Obama Administration to partake in the sideshow circus.

Well, this thread is about the whole "Limbaugh is the new Republican Party leader" silliness, actually.

Re: Limbaugh
 

Then ignore my spam, and answer the question about this "Christian" right's ability to get away with infidelity...

Really, I'm not expecting to get an answer. Just juggling.

Re: Limbaugh
 

Again, this thread is about the Rush Limbaugh as head of the Republican Party story. If you have another topic you'd like to discuss, then by all means fire up a new thread for it.

Re: Limbaugh
 

Aaahh, dodging questions that are relevant to the discussion. Never seen that one before.

Re: Limbaugh
 

all I know is every time I get an urge to check out world forum I just see a half dozen threads with the last post being jOHN rODRIGUEZ and sometimes I'll even open a thread and see a bunch of posts, blocked of course, stacked up and interleaved with anyone else's comments (just like this one is bound to be) and I just assume the world forum is still about john talking to himself so I come back later hoping the nurse with the meds have come around the rehab house by then.

Re: Limbaugh
 

Only because I've been right about everything you've been wrong about. ;)

"Our Denial" still looping wit you.

"They'll tryyyy to rearrange,
but all the world is crashing at their gates..." wit me.





WHHOOOOOPPPPISSHHHHHH, biatch.

Re: Limbaugh
 

exactly

Re: Limbaugh
 

Borrow some of S.mo's chaps and it's a date!

Re: Limbaugh
 

I think most people would agree that I'm not exactly one to dodge questions around here, jOHN. But a question about infidelity within the Christian right is not relevant in any way to a discussion about Rush Limbaugh being labeled as the supposed "intellectual force" and "voice of" the Republican Party. Feel free to point out how it is relevant, and then maybe we can talk. In the meantime, if all you plan on offering up is more of your typical verbal diarrhea, then I for one would appreciate if you could go do it somewhere else.

Incidentally - and this is a question to the moderators - what exactly does it take for someone to be banned from the forums? Is derailing thread after thread a legitimate reason? I mean, literally half of the replies in this thread - 16 out of 32 - are irrelevant ramblings from jOHN. I don't know about anyone else (aside from Strangelet), but even though jOHN's already the lone member on my ignore list, seeing threads hijacked like this has been a major factor in my coming around here far less frequently.

Re: Limbaugh
 

We put a former President on trial for infidelity. And I know your arguement will go back to "Lying under oath", but it stemmed from a cum stain on a dress.

Now, Lamebutt is being held as the voice of the party that put a former Pres. on trial for a cum stain on a dress. I don't see how it's irrelavant.

My God, sean, you're a whyknee(spell?) little bitch. You can borrow some chaps too now.


And I'm just razzing S.mo, I have no idea if he gets into the leather bit. (Damn, I really could use some smiley thingys at this moment)

Re: Limbaugh
 

Please. Its really nothing personal, but he's broken this forum. i'm happy to share news, thoughts, opinions with people who think i'm a fool, a jackass, or who simply don't agree with me, but its a real drag sharing anything thoughtful when someone just takes an austistic self absorbed mocking shit on everything. If this were truly a virtual coffee shop or pub, he is the guy tweeked on meth shouting about his bitches in a red sparkly cell phone. And this squares fairly well under the common respect side of forum rules.

I feel bad singling anyone out like this, and I'm not interested in a personal attack. But I have to be honest to the point where i am endangering my own membership. its that bad.

Re: Limbaugh
 

"...strip you and defeat you
rob you of your clout

Don't know if you missed the press conference, "He's been right about everything else...", I did not.

Re: Limbaugh
 

Sure and this is precisely the problem of troll-like behaviour. Several times I've posted up a reply to a thread, possibly resurrected an older one, perhaps wanted to share a link I've found - only for jOHN to come along and post some gibberish in it immediately after. And damn, I always know that as soon as he's done that, he's just diminished the chance of my post being noticed! Like you, I'm not saying these things to elevate my posting quality here or anything like that, but what jOHN is doing IS troll-like behaviour by any sensible understanding of the word, and unless there's some underlying condition which I'm unaware of, he only gets away with it because he's so longstanding.

Yes, it is that bad. That's what I think should absolve you and everyone else of any guilt for pointing it out. And I think just about all the regular and less regular posters have tried to point it out at some stage, including some mods. God knows Sean has given him the benefit of the doubt more times than he deserves and tried to engage meaningfully with him - and look how he responds.

Look jOHN, no-one expects anyone to be on-topic and serious all the time, or even to make sense to anyone beyond themselves absolutely all of the time - but your posting behaviour comes across like a deliberate attempt to derail almost everything. Winding up other members can be ok if there's already a certain mutual connection and appreciation of the humor in place, but you must understand that there isn't - surely? Even having you on ignore gets tedious. Frankly I don't like putting anyone on ignore, and the ignore system is inherently flawed anyway when peers start to respond.

It's pretty obvious to anyone who posts regularly that a natural slowing down of this place is being greatly accelerated by your antics jOHN. Any reasonably self-aware person in your shoes would have picked up on that, felt a bit bad, and attempted to alter their behaviour. Instead you just seem to ramp it up, like a weed slowly spreading and strangling the entire orchard. (An orchard that is naturally becoming less populated, sure, but that's besides the point). Yeah I also feel like a cnut for pointing this stuff out, but then I know if you reply then you'll just quote some selective part of my post back and make some idiotic play on words that barely makes sense, or you'll post what appear like song lyrics, the essence of which will be lost on everyone but yourself, so I think, why feel guilty calling you on this shit?

Re: Limbaugh
 

same goes here - i've said before that's it's just dull shit - if jr's got a point at any time, it's lost by the crap he serves up with it - i just skip anything he writes these days; but it's still clogging up this place so much that i'm utterly bored shitless with it.

john; maybe go seeking attention elsewhere; but please just STFU if you've nothing meaningful to contribute...

Re: Limbaugh
 

I know it's not high-minded behaviour by the Democratic party but I struggle to feel bad about it. I think the election was a turning point, the whole Sarah Palin, Joe the Plumber, "real americans" campaign deserves to be placed under the spotlight. The conventional political wisdom has always been that you don't draw attention to figures like Rush for fear of elevating their importance, so this eighty stone gorilla in the room (literally 80st gorilla in his case!) is awkwardly and somewhat misleadingly ignored while people only recognize the more measured or more politically established figures. There are certainly intelligent and intellectual figures in the conservative movement and the Republican party specifically, but aren't we kidding ourselves if we try to say that they make up the driving force of supporters, the "grass roots"? Perhaps the same argument could be used about the Dems. I don't know. I certainly can't fault the idea that, in terms of grass root numbers, Limbaugh really does seem to be the emotional leader of the GOP - plenty of senior Republican figures have said as much. For me, the crux is that given the way that whole grass roots idea was so central to the campaign against Obama for the last 12 months, sanctioned on high from the GOP, given the whole "Rush's Americans are the real American" tactic - I think they frankly deserve to be called on this.
