Rush being slammed by the left today, bam, bam, bam....

[monmouth]

I'm sure the screener is in great peril of losing her/his job. The last caller asked what branch of the military he was in. Rush replied he had never been in the military and the caller stated he didn't think they would have taken a "fat ass." Another caller asked Rush had he ever said anything wrong or found anything wrong that Bush had done in his decision making, etc. (I'm really paraphrasing here) and Rush said no. The caller went silent leaving an awkward silence for Rush to attempt to fill. There was another I can't recall right now, they're coming fast and furious. It's moments like this that make it worthwhile for me to listen to him before Randi comes on........LOL. Such a thing of beauty..

1. Everything is scripted on that show

It is all happening for a reason. Unless hell has frozen over, this is all part of a plan to have some roaring comeback...

[monmouth]

3. He sure is doing a ripping job on Hillary and how Billy is going

to have to keep it zipped up,etc. He really is a vile person.

[YOY]

6. That man is the number one reason Hilary should not run

He has pumped his listeners with so much hate for the woman that even those who formerly listen to him have a tough time putting her in a positive light.


Amazing...8 years of Clinton and the best they have is marital infidelity...cretins. Mind you, I love big dog but I could pull more reasonable and intelligent arguments against him out of my ass with ease if I so chose.

2. Yikes

What's going on in Limbaugh Land? I'd be great if that Drug-Addled Gas-Bag (thanks, Momma!) imploded live.

[LSparkle]

5. I almost thought someone had put out an alert asking liberals to call him

It seemed like the first few callers he had weren't very supportive of RatBastard, which was a surprise to me.

Poor Gas-bag! He needs to get one of those flatulence-reducing pillows (Gas-Be-Gone?) that Momma was talking about this a.m.

[tularetom]

11. He needs two- one for his asshole one for his other asshole (mouth)

Cut down on those verbal farts.

[pennylane100]

13. Something like that would be a good idea for all DUers.

We should ask for volunteers to call both Rush and Bill O'Lielly on a rotating basis. Everyone signs up for a different time and keeps their switchboard busy.
Any takers, let me know.

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

4. I've heard his ratings are down

maybe this was part of the plan for improving them---is it sweeps week for him?

[monmouth]

9. Rush is now theorizing that the judge in the Libby trial may not

be trustworthy. They are not allowed to mention that Plame was not a covert operative but Fitz can talk about the Iraq war. Rush is incensed about the unfairness of it. Isn't it wonderful??

8. part of his scheme to not be seen as "conservative talk radio"

It's got to be on purpose. Maybe we should take it as a good sign -- he knows left is rising and he doesn't want to get shut out.

[monmouth]

10. You make a good point, a caller yesterday referred to him as a

conservative radio host and he went ballistic and hung up on the guy. "It's the Rush Limbaugh show, not a conservative show." I can't quite figure that one out, but he does not like being called a con, says he's an indie.

[YOY]

12. O'Reiley hates to be called a Republican as well

They all try to lie about who they really serve.

15. I'll tell you why this is happening...

First off, as one earlier poster said--this show is highly scripted. Rush
determines what he wants to talk about, and the points he wants to make.
Callers who help Rush roll forward his daily garbage--are put on the show.

For example, if Rush has a 20-minute prepared tirade on how global warming
doesn't exist---the caller with the same views gets put through, "Mega-wheat-field-dittos
Rush from South Dakota! I just wanted to make the point that I'm sittin here
in 20-degree temperatures with icicles hanging off my house! Where's the
global warming man! These liberal environmentalists are so whacked!"

Secondly, I listened for a while yesterday, and Rush was having a meltdown
then. He cut some guy off who asked, "What do we do when people criticize
right-wing radio?" Rush cut him off and flew into a tirade, "This is NOT
right-wing radio! This is the Rush Limbaugh show! I'm not going to let
you do this!" Rush went on and on, completely loony tunes.

Rush has been in a bad mood this week, because he's invested his reputation
and his career in propping up Chimpy McFailureton. He's shilled for BushCo
for so long--and now that BushCo is going down--so is Rush. Rush is freaking
out about this and he needs a way to vent his emotions.

So what happens? He gives his call screener orders to let the libruls through
the phone lines. I think most of these calls are fake. Then Rush can run
off the rails---ranting and gesticulating about the awful liberals.

Really---he's just mad at himself for allowing himself to be used by these
discombobulated buffoons in the White House.

Sorry Rush, when you get in bed with idiots who use you--you end up carrying
the same diseases!

[monmouth]

17. Wow, good theory. He was entertaining ten people last night

at his home, said the meeting was going to be about "him". Wonder if it was about his ratings, time change, etc. The present caller is a leftie also re Liz Cheney's letter. They're still talking....

[NoAmericanTaliban]

16. Rush will be the frist one to campaing for Hillary

If she wins his ratings will go sky high. He will get to do what he loves best and bash Hillary, whine about the gov't, dems, & liberals without having to come up with any good ideas. I remember listening to him when he was bashing the first Bush. Once Bill was elected his ratings when up big time.

[On the Road]

18. One of My Favorite Debating Tactics:

Another caller asked Rush had he ever said anything wrong or found anything wrong that Bush had done...and Rush said no. The caller went silent leaving an awkward silence for Rush to attempt to fill.

Sometimes the most effective point is made by asking a simple, straightforward quesion that can only have an absurb or awkward answer and then just shutting up. Leaves no room for ad hominem attacks or other evasions.
