Letterman jokes about Limbaugh's duds

Did anyone mention that the "bloated one" doesn't know the Constitution from the Declaration of Independence? Or that the phrase Life, Liberty, Freedom and the persuit of happiness is misquoted? Freedom does not appear in the Declaration. Funny how the "Bloated one" recieves an award as defender of the Constitution and clearly doesn't know what is in it. One only must show hate to be a republican star...knowledge need not apply.

Bill R., the masters of hate are you and your leftist friends. And the fact that you don't even know the basics of this country, the basics of our foundings, the basics of our original documents is life, liberty freedom shows just how off-kilter you and your ilk are.
What is even more amazing is just how much Rush Limbaugh gets under the skin of the leftist media, leftists in general and folks like Letterman, and just how much the Obama administration, which is looking more and more Hitleresque all the time, is focused on Limbaugh. So far, with all his fearmongering, targeting people who disagree with him, redistribution of wealth campaigns, etc. it's no wonder Obama wants a close relationship with Chavez and Castro. They are all one and the same.

Rahm Emanuel issues his marching orders ("get Rush"), and the media immediately bend over to cooperate.

To the applause of the terminally illiterate, such as the "bill r." who can't even spell what he's denouncing ("persuit"?), and seems unaware that the word "free" is used five times in the Declaration of Independence.

The question is, why the hate from Rahm Emanuel, Frank James, et al.? In Germany in the 1930s a leader (whom many Germans thought charismatic) routinely demonized and belittled his opponents. Is this an example to follow today? Is this the promised "change"?

Plus, having him stand for the Republican party is a good thing? That is how out of touch the party is from the people. Having him stand for the party is no different then having Jerry Springer stand for the party. Except Jerry is actually smarter then Rush...

It usually takes a broader discussion before the Reductio ad Hitlerum fallacy gets trotted out. No surprise that the two resident dunces, John D and Bruce, jump the gun straight out of the gate.

Just keep defending Limpbag, it validates your status as the insignificant lunatic fringe.

Bill R., is not "liberty," for the purpose of this discussion, essentially synonymous with "freedom"?

Wasn't it Limpbaugh and several other males who were intercepted in Florida coming back from a trip in the Carribbean and found to have a suitcase full of condoms and viagra. I think it was!! How strange is that. This man is a disgrace, a hypocrite to the nth degree, and a bigot. If bloated Limpbaugh said the world is flat, his 'dittoheads' would believe him.

Letterman should be glad that enough stupid people watch his big mouth and buck teeth.

This is going to be good; Rush as victim.
"And then the silence of the squealing pigs..."

It's not that Rush "gets under the skin of the Liberal Media." He makes himself such an easy target because of his ignorance. It's impossible to not take a shot at him. Given his girth, it's impossible to miss, too.

On to the current administration giving marching orders to liberal media: Bush did the same thing by having conservative media hit on certain topics. Nothing new.

"Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness " is one of the most famous phrases in the United States Declaration of Independence. These three aspects are listed among the "inalienable rights" of man.

This is from the text of His speech:
We believe that the preamble to the Constitution contains an inarguable truth that we are all endowed by our creator with certain inalienable rights, among them life. [Applause] Liberty, Freedom. [Applause] And the pursuit of happiness.

And of course "change" spelling changes everything. Who needs facts when spelling is involved. If those who are anal enough to disqualify the message for that reason...be prepared to spend your whole day on this site alone. If anything is spelled wrong in this post, please send it to www.iamanal.com

Rush seems to attract people who have a need to fear something. John D. and a number of his fellow Ditto Heads consistently post fear words like Hitler, Chaves, Stalin hoping that others will also see a need to hide under their bed. Sorry John D. but most Americans are not knocked off-kilter by Rush. We are laughing at you Ditto Heads. And the person who laughs at you the most is Rush. He is laughing all the way to the bank.

And Bill R., your genius of a president has said there are more than 50 states and that Americans invented the automobile. So I guess he's stupid, too, eh? It was a misstatement – just like those misstatements from Obama. So knock it off. Yeesh.

The fact that some are comparing Obama to Hitler in this post shows just how bitter, desperate and disturbed some people are.

Rush is irrelevant.

John D,

Rather convenient how you leave out "the pursuit of happiness". Which was in the Declaration of Independence. Which came before the constitution.

I assume that is because republicans don't believ in "the pursuit of happines", because you wish to make laws that "tell" people what their happiness should be.

Oh, and BTW, Hitler was a far-right conservative. Much closer to the beliefs or Rush, O'Reilly, Hannity, etc.

I could write post after refuting as laughable the democrat’s engagement of Rush Limbaugh is, and that only shows how "dangerous" to them he is. However, I will confine myself to the "I want Obama to fail" remark, as I hope it's the easiest for most people to understand.
First, I agree with Mr. Limbaugh, NOT because like most democratic liberals I blindly follow an ideology (I also disagree on Limbaugh's stance on certain issues), but because the path that Obama is "leading" us down is simply taking embarrassing advantage of a national crisis to remold the United States into something other than what has made it great for more than 200 years. Put simply? If Obama "succeeds" then the United States greatness is diminished at a time when it can ill-afford to be, and rather than being a leader of the free-world's greatest country, we would simply join the league of ordinary nations, and clearly, one only needs to listen and see that the rest of the world can't handle it (see France, see Canada and it's national healthcare debacle, see India and Pakistan, see N/S Korea, see Iran, etc...).
Is this simple enough for you, Rahm? While the US has serious flaws that needed to be addressed, and that need continues as it always will- no country, like no individual, is perfect- like many around the world I agree that the US committed suicide last November 4th, and I don't believe that's hyperbolic in any way. Obama's shameful blaming (I admit he's clever, but ultimately shameful) of the current economic crisis on the Bush years is an embarrassment to every thinking person. I guess we have to then paint the democratic party's hands with blood of 3,000 Americans killed on 9/11 due to Bush inheriting 8 years of Clinton's failures to address terrorism (the planning of that took place ALL during the CLINTON administration). Neither assessment is accurate, of course. Our current struggles are a joint effort by both democrats and republicans who ignored the unchecked greed of Wall Street and the banks, and any attempt to say otherwise is simply: WRONG. Not a matter of opinion, just WRONG.
Lastly, on the concept that Americans voted for change last November 4th. Every time a kool-aid drinking liberal left democrat goes over this "talking point", I want to point out that regardless of the "BCS" -style electoral college embarrassment, 54 MILLION- yeah, that's right- MILLION people VOTED FOR SOMEONE ELSE. And without having a window to look into another person's soul, I would suggest that at least a reasonable faction of Obama's supporters join those 54 million in the idea that while the American people as a group would agree that change was needed, wholesale remaking of the fundamental principles of the United States is NOT, in ANY way, that for which the voted.

Fail, Obama, fail. We’ll fix it when you’re gone- whenever that is.

Just give RL a chocolate pie and he will do your bidding.

Funny how Hitler is mentioned. It seems that the "bloated ones" attempt to blame the minorities which equal 12% of the population for all our problems seems a closer comparison.

Bill R., is not "liberty," for the purpose of this discussion, essentially synonymous with "freedom"?

Limbaugh used the whole schlamoodle in his quote: "Life (pause for CPAC applause), Liberty (applause), Freedom (applause) and the Pursuit of Happiness." I believe that's the background. But, yes, you're probably right that Liberty and Freedom are at least close cousins if not twins.

There's a wise saying in the world of politics and dabate that, "he who makes a Hitler comparison first, loses."

The left used to make that mistake a lot because they were frustrated and largely peddling old ideas and cliches and not gaining any traction. It was strident and pathetic.

Now it's the right that keeps trotting out Adolph.

Take heed.

Let's see, we have a bad economy, we have troops in Iraq and Afghanistan, we have Russia becoming a bear again, Iran on the verge of nuclear weapons, deficits nearing $2 trillion, a stock market crashing each and every day, and whnat does the Obama administration do? It picks a fight with a radio talk show host!
For those discounting the link of Obama to Chavez, Castro and Hitler: those folks demonize their opposition too.
Also, lefties, why the comments about Limbaugh's weight? Your hero, Al Franken, is fat too. So is Dick Durbin. Then we have teeny tiny Boy Stroger. We have the fat murderer in Ted Kennedy, another leftie hero.
Anyway, I thought Lefties weren't suppose to judge people by their race, ethnic origin, religion, sex or looks.
Ooops, sorry, forgot that the biggest hypocrites ever are members of the Left.

The comparison of Obama to Hitler is an apt, astute observation. When thinking, intelligent people recognize the similarities, and they make the comparison, it is not necessarily to suggest that Obama and Hitler are one and the same in EVERY aspect of their personalities and beliefs. Rather the comparisons are succinctly pointed out: taking advantage of chaos (Hitler's was economic failure in Germany following World War II; Obama's, flailing economy in 2009) to promote ideas of change which have nothing to do with what's needed, but rather what Obama and the leftist ilk want. There's much, much more room for continuing point by point comparisons, but I doubt anyone would read them here. So put down the kool-aid, look at what Obama's "leadership" is doing to the economy he "inherited" (what a joke of an assertion) and look them up and see for yourself. Caution: You may not like what you find.

why don't people stop picking on my cousin rush limbaugh, espcially for his appearance. We have always been overweight in the limbaugh family and rush has always been sensitive about it. he was beaten up often in high school which is why he is like he is now. you liberals with your fad diets mocked him also when he was strung out on oxycotton. just because he looks like air marshal goering of the third reich, to the extent that he coudl wear his clothes, no problem, doesn't mean he shares his politics and we resent the constant implication of that on ther web, even though both men share the curse of addiction, with goering it was morphine. stop this name calling of a great and popular comedian.

Hey Sue, if Rush was truly irrelevant, they wouldn't be talking about him. The leftists assail him constantly because he IS a threat to their power, as is Sarah Palin.

"...a wise saying in the world of politics,' ooooohhhh, That's a good one!

How long before Letterman is 'forced' to apologize to poor Rushieboo?

I don't have a problem with discussing different views, if that is, indeed, what is happening. I think what is absent in this case, is the 'discussing' part. Rush, and his ilk, give a mandate to people what to do and say, and if they disagree or fail to comply, they are shunned (or forced to wear the Scarlett 'L'?) This is totally contrary to anything in the Declaration of Independence, The Constitution, The Bill of Rights, The Magna Carta, AND U.S. Laws (in very literal terms).

Your civil rights end at the point they infringe on another citizen's civil rights (e.g. yelling 'fire' in a crowded theater or inciting mob violence),

The Right seems to be in disdain of not just the 'other' parties, but the media (except certain programs), and yes, the very Constitution they wrap themselves in.

Perhaps we can work to solve this Nation's problems instead of prepare for the next election, boys? You hate our President, we got that, repeatedly. You are against anyone that needs help (you call it a 'handout', unless it's covering a CEO bonus), you are against teachers, you are against unions, you are against 'choice'.

Other than the death penalty, what are you 'for'?

because he IS a threat to their power, as is Sarah Palin.

I believe it more a threat to limited intelligence.

Letterman, Curick, are drinking the Obama Kool-aid. They are all Socialist elites. They continue to deceive weak-minded liberals.
Liberals are cruel and many are full of hate or just ignorant. They are confused and are not seeing in the light of Truth
I pray for them.

Please, John D. and P. Smith, stop the bile. Comparing Hitler to Obama is a stretch of the imagination, quit dreaming and start working quietly.

It bogles the mind how many mindless idiots, listen to the blowhatd Rush Scumbaugh. If anyone wants to figure out what is wrong with our country today, they need look no further than the talking heads in the media Ie: Limbaugh, O'Reilly, Ohlbermann,Maddow, etc, who generate hatred, fear, discontent, all while lining their pockets, for spewing the message of their corporate masters. But none is more despicable than the fat, drug addicted, morally and ethically bereft, grossly overpaid,lowlife slimy buffoon, Rush Scumbaugh. It is no wonder why we are in the state we are in when people cannot think logically for themselves, and can only follow the twisted rantings of these media whores.
Until we start thinking for ourselves, and start to have faith in our fellow americans again, I'm afraid this country will continue in it's moral,and econonomical, and ethical downward spiral.

Wonder why Russ does'nt mention his idol George W. anymore???

Patrick Smith,
You may be on to something about Hitler and Obama being on and the same. I for one cannot wait until we round up all Republicans and put them into concentration camps and march them into gas chambers. I will do your bidding. I am Obamabot. Obamabot, obey. Obamabots, unite!

That would actually be following WW I, there wasn't much left of Hitler after the greatest president of all time, Liberal Democrat FDR, took care of business.

But, if you want comparisons:

Hitler: Taking advantage of difficult times to invade a sovereign nation (Poland)

GW Bush: Taking advantage of and exploiting the deaths of Americans (Sept. 11), to manufacture info and invade a sovereign nation (Iraq).

Now there's an apt comparison.

and Obama being on and the same

Me thinks I smell a winger. Your post doesn't count anyway. Change you can believe in has stated all posts spelled wrong have no factual value.

the problem with rush is the fact he is rooting against the country. why should we listen to some one that has so many idea on how the country should be run when he is to selfish to run for office? he is a greedy as the ceo's n wallstreet. he tells s he not willing to take a pay cut. Obama , McCain, Palin, and Biden all have somthing in common...they are willing to put there lives to hold to better the country. they have diffrent ideas on the direction OUR country needs to go but they all want the country to be better of from there idea and are wiling to give up personal interest to help the greater good of us all. rush only wans his pay check to keep coming. he could care less about as a whole. whylisten to him and take any advice and idea from him. rush its time to put up or shut up. freedom of speech is a beautiful thing, he just uses it for a paycheck. so to the people out there defending him think about it. why listen to a person who is out there to only make money for himself. we dont care for telemarketors or greedy salesman but you take everything he says as facts. so ask yourself would u take advice from the next telemarketor that calls?

It amuses me to see arguments like this trotted out; it's like deja vu all over again. I remember this argument being used when Bush won in 2004 and announced all of that "political capital" he had to spend. The most votes given to a candidate in U.S. history, I think was also mentioned. I forget who it was that countered, but they mentioned that Kerry got the SECOND-most votes of anyone in U.S. history. I think the response from the right was telling: "Yeah, and you're still losers. Bush got the most votes and that's what makes him President and Kerry an unsuccessful ex-candidate."
(I'm paraphrasing.)
.
Not saying that was a GOOD response, and certainly not a polite one, nor the one I'd necessarily use if I was in that person's place. I'm sure that the pain you feel now at having lost this election is far more important for you than it was for us. I just thought I'd share my nostalgia.

Ouch!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I guess Rush and Abramoff have the same tailor.

syj
Crazy John Devola is one of those conservatives that lay awake nights worrying that somewhere someone is having a good time in their pursuit of happiness.

Those of his ilk have also forgotten that the first job of the US government is to secure the general welfare, even ahead of provide for the national defense.

The founders understood that the common little man, like us, needed a reason to fight and die for the nation. Something beyond being sure Rush could make his 'tailor' payments.

Etta James!?
P.S.,
I would point out that Etta James and her fellow 'Jim Crow' victims, had no chance to vote for the pres. of their choice, and therefore was justified in her statement. The votes of people of her race were suppressed en-mass.

Op109,

I'm pretty sure it was Al Franken who pointed that out. I mean Senator Al Franken.

"The leftists assail him constantly because he IS a threat to their power, as is Sarah Palin"

Anyone else miss the good old days when we were the party that disparaged drug addicts and mothers who cared more about their career than raising there children?
