Why Do Limbaugh and Malkin Hate America?
Limbaugh and Malkin are at it again, belittling folks who have faith in and have been inspired by Barack Obama. But they go too far, wishing ill of the President, forgetting perhaps that as goes Obama, so goes our country. Evidently they only have patriotism in a country run by Republicans. They are small people, obviously.

18. Bullshit. They call it entertainment, it
is not entertainment. It is pure propaganda. It is driven by the corporate agenda.

4. It's the right-wing talking point of the day
WorldNutDaily has an article titled "Farah calls on all godly Americans: Pray Obama fails"

5. Can't someone Hayduke Limbaugh?
In case you don't understand the verb "to Hayduke," it relates to the guy who wrote many books of vicious practical jokes to pull on evil people. Things like printing up official-looking wanted posters of your enemy (listing crimes like child molester, rapist, pedophilia) and posting them in biker bars and gun shops in your enemy's neighborhood.

Would someone do something like this to Limbaugh? I don't even think you'd have to make up the pedophile charge.

8. Great idea
I'm sending PETA a letter complaining about the plight of Limbaugh's ass gerbils. We need an operation rescue sent to his condo immediately.

29. I HAVE A BETTER IDEA......LEGALLY.
We have to work at getting the new FCC Chairman to pull these anti-Americans off the air.

A petition drive may be appropriate. If enough people make noise, perhaps we could have some success.

But we need to emphasize these people are inciting "hate-rethoic" which, in my opinion, is tresonist. Hate-speech is not free speech.

22. i wouldn't ,but...
They've been beating us over the head with this for years.
Self respect demands maximum payback.
And a dose of their own medicine would be just the thing.

Well, shucks. Please, feel free to do so, at length. If unconsciousness sets in, wait till you come to, then continue ad infinitum.

17. Limbaugh represents the interests
of corporate America. Very simple. This is why he tells his audience that socialized medicine is a failure in Canada. They fear Obama will think of the American people first and foremost.

26. Maybe
But the idea is that they give lip service to their love of the country while doing everything they can to make things worse for the people of the country.

It's sort of the old saw about racial prejudice in the north and south. At a rally back in the sixties I heard a minister from Chicago say that Southerners hate black people as a group but like them individually. Northerners, he said, have nothing against them as a group, but hate each one individually.

In the minds of retrogrades like these, they think they are supportive of the country, but have no problem showing their disdain for the populace.

You say tomato.

31. I have been told
by some people I work with that it's payback.

They tell me "We're going to give Obama the same respect you gave Bush."and ...

"We're going to treat Obama the same way you treated Bush."

How petty can you get.

34. It is to the level of morals that
4th graders exhibit on the playground, but 4th graders are generally honest about the whole thing.

33. They should cheer up.
They can always move to Saudi Arabia. Solid conservative family values there.
