TODAY LIMBAUGH WAS DESTROYED! NATIONAL HOLIDAY??

[ShaneGR]

I think that this thread should be bronzed in gold. On 10-01-03 Rush Limbaugh was finally exposed, on a national scale, as the racist right-wing sleazebag that we have known him to be. For years we have complained about his blatent lying and sick morality. For years Rush has smiled, while top-ranking Republicans sent him thank-you letters.

Today was truthout day for Rush. See ya buddy! You now have ZERO credibility! Enjoy!

NOTE: I feel thris thread should be printed out, placed in a capsule, and buried in the ground. Perhaps in a 100 years from now some unsuspecting archeologists will dig it up and say, "Hey, that's the bastard that helped to almost ruin the country!"

1. heres a great quote

Asked about Limbaugh's comments, Eagles defensive end N.D. Kalu said: "He speaks well, he's well-read, but he's an idiot."

I think that sums up the radical right (or even the radical left) prety well.

[Cha]

4. Great Quote! Who is this N.D. Kalu?

[Zorra]

25. Now, be nice

NOThahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaahaha uh-oh - Does he get a Defense Dept. post now?

[xray s]

2. He is radioactive now

Just like Trent Lott.

What ever he says...whoever he endorses...will be seen through the veil of racism he just lifted off his pig face.

Bah-bye Rush!

Your 15 minutes are up!

[Swede]

14. Hey!

I never thought of that. Sponsors will desert his fat ass.

[PurityOfEssence]

24. Bill Bennett's giving even money for him to come back...

Any takers?

[E_Zapata]

27. I wish it were 15 minutes.

Isn't like over 10 years that he has been polluting our society?

I pray he is gone.]

But savage is still around.

Lott is still kicking.

They just don't go away - because the right wing has zero consience and no morals.

3. re: DESTROYED! Was he canned from EIB radio too or just ESPN? nt

[Cha]

5. Oh, just ESPN! he'll probably be a hero at the radio and his

freepstein audience.

[imax2268]

6. I think he just resigned

from ESPN...whining all the way...

[ShaneGR]

7. He resigned from ESPN, I think he'd have to kill someone to get off EIB

Seriously, I think the only way EIB would get rid of him would be some sort of murder. And it would have to be a white person he killed too.

[angka]

11. white and rich

he could probably whack a punk or two and be okay.

i've been waiting over ten years to see him smacked down; he says shit like that all the time on the goddamn radio.

[Richardo]

15. There *is* no EIB - an invention of the host...

Like the "Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies" or as I like to call it: "Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Republican Studies" because it forms a better acronym... ;D

[Syrinx]

17. he IS eib, isn't he?

edit: didn't notice Richardo's post till I posted.

8. Kind of like a statue going down...

Remember he got appointed to do this in the middle of this perception that the whole country was going right-wing (turns out they weren't), this same era of Dixie Chicks boycotts and John Stossel being appointed co-anchor of /20/20/. It's like now we're toppling the statues, ridding ourselves of the monuments of that era.

We gotta keep going though.

A while ago I got into the practice of taking down the propagandists along with the talking points. If someone was just repeating stuff they heard from the lying liars and I could argue against it, I'd take it one farther and be like "OK, now the people who told you this, do you think they really care about you if they'd embarass you like this?"

[ShaneGR]

12. Yup

Freeing America, one sleazy scumbag at a time.

[frank frankly]

10. its a holiday to me!!!

i am so happy!

[SWPAdem]

13. To paraphrase another right wing shock jock

If we can get six more of them canned, we can take the whole friggin week off.

[knight_of_the_star]

16. We'll have to celebrate this next year!

Make it an official holiday at DU!

[Brian Sweat]

18. I told you that ESPN had actually done us a favor by hiring him.

I knew that he couldn't keep his mouth shut and now his bigotry has been exposed on a greater level and he has been humiliated.

[frank frankly]

21. right-o

right on, BS!

he's gonna lose it all, that fuck!

[Renew Deal]

22. He didn't make it a month.

:spank:

[eleny]

19. Par-ty!

[Renew Deal]

20. I am just glad that others get to see him for the b/s pusher he is.

Later limpballs

:hurts:

[PlanetBev]

23. Tell you what...

I'll celebrate when Rush walks by a microwave oven and his ear transplant device shorts out.

When he finally kicks off, which I hope I'll be around for, he'll be remembered as the father of Hate Radio. What a legacy.

[MSchreader]

29. "Father of Hate Radio"? Nope.

That was Father Coughlin during the 1930s. Headrush is just continuing the tradition.

26. He may be a martyr by tomorrow night's news....

Hold the bronze vat for just a bit.

[Bake]

28. That snake SOB is FAR from destroyed.

Count on it. He's still got his main gig as Clear Channel's poster boy for Hate Radio. When his ratings fall to zero and Clear Channel dumps him, THEN we can celebrate his destruction. Today was just a small victory.

30. True

I liken this to a sea creature that loses one of it's tenticles. The tenticle will end up growing back. Did losing his TV show hurt him any in the long run?

If anything, this will show main stream TV that this clown is not ready for prime time. Preaching to the choir on a radio show with full control over content is one thing but hiring him to spew to a broad based audience is a bad idea.

[Bread and Circus]

31. Good riddance, jerk...

I believe in freedom of speech, but we cannot
tolerate racist language.

32. He is a boil on the face of America.

[onecitizen]

33. I was sleeping in this AM..........

but had one ear on Cspan. I thought I was dreaming. I came out of the bed like a shot! Is this all true?? Here's what I think I heard:

Rush fired from ESPN (ha! we told them so)
AND Rush has been caught up in some drug ring or something like that?

If this is true, what a fabulous day indeed! hahahahahahahahaha

[zls44]

35. Almost, one

Instead of being fired (they hated the comments, but cited ratings immediatley to defend him), he resigned!

And yes...pills from the black market...and its not just the Enquirer...its FRONT PAGE BABY!

[HFishbine]

34. Naw

The archeologist will say, "Hey, that's the bastard that decayed into the world's largest oil reserve."
