Rush Limbaugh: 20 Years of Lies and Hate »
Posted By ameliog 1 year, 4 months ago in News
The dim bulbs at Human Events had to think of something to celebrate this week so they could send their several hundred readers more spam from their “advertisers” - which include fraudulent “health care providers” and everyone who types for them giving away their stockpiled books which never sell, for free.

For some reason, hardline people who advocate a Powerful Centralized, Military Nation ... without the constraints of Citizens Rights ... have the same methods the world over.
Whether it be the old Soviet Union, modern Russia, or Iran. Hardliners find a way to portray their opponents in the media as being unpatriotic.-

Rush is just an evil little puppet who cares more about money than truth or freedom.
Don't you know that in the light of real truth he is shown to be the type the Goebbels was for Hitler.
That is why the right wing haters love him so much. He speaks the lies they want to hear.
They want to believe that money and greed can overcome truth and decency.
Hitler tried it and failed, so will they. They lose and God wins.

Actually borrowing from those who we are supposedly trying to prevent from rising to greater power. Accelerating the process of America's decline. They can defend Rush if they like yet he has done nothing to improve America as a country. Absolutely NOTHING!

What empire building? Did we annex Canada? Did Mexico finally become part of the USA because they all moved here anyway? Helping nations gain freedom and become democracies does not make one an Empire.

As to nations that fear or don't like us, remove their most friendly nation's status. You would see China falling into line.

Normally I would agree with you, but having seen where the rantings of the likes of Rush and Coulter have lead this country i feel that the bitterness in this article has been well earned. These two have done nothing but work to polarize this country never willing to accept any compromise. They spread nothing but hate and I can't wait for the day when people wake up and realize that these two are dead wrong on just about everything that they say.

Rush Limbaugh is a giant windbag pumping up himself and his adherents in an attempt to obtain more and more of the only thing that he cares about besides himself...the almighty dollar. He's not only a liar, he's a traitor of the worst kind. Any person, who for personal benefit, distorts the truth is in my mind a traitor to the values evident in both the Declaration and the Constitution. "We hold these truths to be self-evident..." and "We the People..." Rush, my friends, is a friend neither of the truth nor of the People.

In spite of the fact that a lot of people think that Rush is a scumbag, he's been successful for 20 years and seems to be as popular as ever. For those who are his detractors, who can they give as an example, someone who is truthful, not a scumbag, that enjoys the same success? Are we to believe that a traitor, a liar, would be emulated and that a patriot, a truthful person could not gather the same following? That makes no sense unless we are to believe that most of us are stupid.

The KOS spread more lies than a manure spreader, and you sicophants pull out your plates for dinner. You say Fox News is bad then go here for your news.

Well, it would it be nice if you had the brains to tell us exactly what was "bad, "childish" and "outlandish" about it? If fact Limbaugh is far
Reply
worse than Koopersmith wrote, believe me. I know Koopersmith - he is the most giving person I've ever met and he stayed away from going after Rush's throat on his dryg addiction. A man who uses his poor maid to run drugs for him cannot be forgiven. You moron

Liimbaugh is a disgrace and an embarassment to this country. The drug addict needs to recover. Putting down the drugs is only the first step. This is a man that is bedeviled emotionally and mentally. It is sad that some people worship every hateful comment that he utters.

Seriously, what is the point or goal of the article? It doesn't accomplish anything - nothing. It doesn't even inform folks of anything - it's completely a "he said - she said", running off at the mouth, someone using their position to spew their weird and frankly overly dramatic hate for someone....
Reply

The author - "Jeff Koopersmith is an internationally renowned political consultant, opinion research authority and policy analyst."
What in the world is an "opinion research authority" anyway - and therefore why would anyone care what he has to spew, er..I mean say?? What a total waste of time.-

I agree, the daily Kos is very hateful. Remember the cartoon of Condi Rice they put out and the one of Liberman about to go down on Bush? Talking about hate. This article is just more of the same. Using hate to say others hate, typical of the left. Calling others racists as their leaders are proven to be just that. SOP.

I really don't see anything wrong with telling the truth. Rush has been a rabid right wing hate monger for years. He has no morals...and has done nothing but create a society of ditto heads who hate as much as he does. This article is biased, but what do you think he spews out over the airways hour after hour, day after day. But if someone says something about this clown, the right wingers get their dander up and defend him like he is some kind of god, instead of the divider that he actually is.

Serial hater? I was stuck in a hospital all weekend and the only non-infomercial shows on were PBS talkers. When it wasn't the evils of conservatism it was how big oil doing the price increases just to destroy the American economy, forgetting without the US economy the rest of the world would have problems. There's free speech and grumbling about our leaders that's protected by the Constitution but what they were pitching was out and out lies and half truths. I have no problem with that if it's on commercial TV and someone else is paying for it, I get tired of paying for the 2 PBS stations in Milwaukee with my tax money.

Limbaugh is an entertainer (not a balanced poltical analyst)! The way you get discussion going, and ratings up, especially on talk radio, is by expressing extreme views that rile listeners to call in, either to argue, or to vent their own anger and agreement with Rush's delusional expressions.

"can 20 million people listening at any given time be wrong,"
Reply
Well they're not wrong for listening, they may be wrong for believing Rush's propaganda all of the time.
All you need do is listen to one show and you should know what kind of hate monger these right wing shows attract. 20 million, less than 10% of our population, yeah I believe there are that many out there. -

Yes, it doesn't matter how many people listen to someone, that person can still be wrong.

I believe Fr. Charles Coughlin's audience was even larger than Rush's.
If you don't know who I'm talking about, look him up. Father Coughlin was the original religious hate radio nut.

I see no worse hate spewed that the hate of the socialist liberals.
Reply
Rush has his freedom of speech just like everyone else in America.
My opinion is that he speaks the truth. He has the hard facts to back it up too.
You will see the class of the socialist liberal during the Republican Convention.
Watch as they violently attack the city trying to cause chaos and throwing balloons filled with urine at police. Watch as they put chains across streets to block traffic, throw objects at non socialist Americans.
These are the backers of Barak Obama and his Socialist agenda and this is how they will speak. With violence.
Then watch as the poles drop even more for him after America watches that mess.
And Rush just speaks his mind. Big deal.-

I would describe Rush's show as somewhere between Jerry Springer and a radio version of The New York Post. You would think by now the public would have caught on to the fact that Rush is an "entertainer" not a newsman. That is what HE insists anyway! But is hatred entertaining? That is the core question.
Reply
Obama will likely lose this election but it certainly wont be the result of "hard facts". Those facts would indicate America is in desperate need for a change of leadership and that the Republican agenda trumpeted by yourself and those like Rush has been an abysmal failure.
The idiots you describe are the Far Left, very distant from the core beliefs of the Left. But surely that is too much for you to grasp. No candidate is suggesting anarchy as a solution. Of course If you listen to Rush you hate us all as a group.. But they do not represent the Left anymore than Bush represents conservatism.

Intolerant, hateful, illogical thinking liberals, anarchists, and marxists on here bash Rush because he has spread "20 years of lies and hate (which means TRUTH to illogical or DIALECTICALLY thinking liberals, anarchists, and marxists)".
Reply
Rush's advertisers just gave him a new, lucrative contract as he fights the liberal media ESTABLSHMENT daily. The MARXISTS in our government tried to get him silenced by taking the time to WRITE A LETTER about a COMMON CITIZEN in CONGRESS with MY TAX DOLLARS, which Rush then turned around and had auctioned off on EBay which raised $2 million dollars for our troops, to which then Rush matched for a total of $4 million dollars.
I don't believe that Harry Reid has donated to Rush's match yet....Harry Reid = Turd.
NPR and Bill Moyers on PBS would have been OFF OF THE AIR years ago, except that we taxpayers, who most don't agree with their viewpoints and liberally biased, skewed "journalism", have to pay taxes to keep NPR and PBS on the air "for the public good..." as illogical thinking liberals, anarchists, and marxists make excuses for my tax dollars to be used for something I would not volunteer to pay for and support.
Algore speads ACTUAL lies and misinformation to his own finanical benefit DAILY for 16 years.
Jesse Jackson speads ACTUAL lies and misinformation to his own finanical benefit DAILY for 40 years.
Al Sharpton speads ACTUAL lies and misinformation to his own finanical benefit DAILY for 25 years.
AIR AMERICA, Rush's AM RADIO "competition", spead ACTUAL lies and misinformation to virtually NOBODY for about 2 years.

Wow, Rush must be telling some pretty good lies to be on the radio and the #1 talk show host for 20 yrs. Reckon how this happened. Or maybe he has just be telling the TRUTH and the liberal media cannot take it. The liberals cannot keep a talk show on for over six months because no one likes to listen to a bunch of baloney from them.

Wow, so this is how far Propeller has fallen since the old days of netscape. This should be under humor at best. I am not a fan of any talk radio however, he's an entertainer with a rather large audience of loyal listeners. Unlike the liberal found on PBS, he doesn't require huge tax subsidies to remain afloat.

This clearly shows the differences between the left and right in our nation. If you disagree with someone and your a conservative, you shut the radio off. If you're a liberal you claim it's hate speech and try to recreate the "Fairness Doctrine."-

.... It is the right of the viewers and listeners, not the right of the broadcasters, which is paramount.
Reply
— U.S. Supreme Court, upholding the constitutionality of the Fairness Doctrine in Red Lion Broadcasting Co. v. FCC, 1969.
The Fairness Doctrine had two basic elements: It required broadcasters to devote some of their airtime to discussing controversial matters of public interest, and to air contrasting views regarding those matters.
American thought and American politics will be largely at the mercy of those who operate these stations, for publicity is the most powerful weapon that can be wielded in a republic. And when such a weapon is placed in the hands of one person, or a single selfish group is permitted to either tacitly or otherwise acquire ownership or dominate these broadcasting stations throughout the country, then woe be to those who dare to differ with them. It will be impossible to compete with them in reaching the ears of the American people.
— Rep. Luther Johnson (D.-Texas), in the debate that preceded the Radio Act of 1927
