Rush Limbaugh: "I have an Army!" Really, and you would have your Army do what Rush?
I have, to some degree, been listening to Rush Limbaugh (on a limited bases as there is only so much one can take)since the inauguration of President Obama. I am a firm believer in knowing ones enemy and I just couldn't wait to hear how he was going to spin 8 years of absolutely disastrous Republican control and the massive damage it has done to America.

On last Thursday I heard Rush say, during a discussion of Matt Lauer and White House spokesperson Robert Gibbs, right before going to break, Rush made the following statement:

RUSH: Hey, Bob? The only thing bipartisan was the people who voted against it. The American people do want to see their economy rebound. It's just it's not going to happen with your plan. And one thing, Mr. Gibbs -- and I understand you're the best press secretary they ever had up there. That's what the Drive-Bys told us before you got the gig, I understand that, but you "don't want leaders from either party listening to just one person rather than listening to millions of voices." Don't you understand, Mr. Gibbs? Certainly by now you do. My voice is the voice of millions of God-fearing American conservatives. That's why I'm listened to. It's because my voice equals millions. It isn't just me. I'm not going it alone here.

"I have an army. I'm the general, but I have an army".


Really? And just what do you plan to do with this Army Rush? I mean we all know that you are going to rile them up with lies about how President Obama is going to do them in, take all their money, and other such tripe. (Which unfortunately they will swallow, hook, line, and sinker) But what exactly to you mean?

Do you mean you are going to organize them for political protest? Or maybe a massive call in campaign on some issue or another. Or is this potentially a veiled threat directed at President Obama? One could conclude that with you and all of your ditto-heads, (meaning they are just stupid enough to do whatever you say)being avid supporters of the 2nd Amendment, and I am sure armed to the teeth, that maybe you are implying something more permanent. Like say the start of a armed insurrection of conservatives against the evils of Obamanism, socialism, forced conversion to Islam,(since, according to you, Obama is a Muslim), Liberalism, or whatever the threat De Jure against good, God fearing, patriotic conservative American is, which you are currently promoting.

I mean Rush, you just really weren't clear on what the intent of your statement was to your listeners with that statement and some of us, who are not mindless followers of you might not understand the code you are conveying to your listeners who, whatever the exact number is because I'm sure you lie about that also, do number in the millions.

I for one have some concern that you might be making a threat against the United States government and/or the President of the United States of whom you obviously have much disdain for. I really think that a responsive government who are charged with protecting the citizenry of America during these turbulent times should look into this.

For more context the rest of the rant can be found here: http://www.rushlimbaugh.com/home/daily/site_012909/content/01125114.guest.html

4. An army of draft-dodging Republicon Chickenhawks?
Edited on Mon Feb-02-09 09:09 AM by SpiralHawk
How pathetic.

One wonders how many of the 'men' in Limbaugh's army used 'ass pimple' as an excuse to avoid military service, like Rush himself did?

Republicon chickenhawks ain't got no honor...

11. Would someone please go back a few months and compile all the
fake threats this asswipe has made that have turned out to be lies?
The whole issue of Obama reenacting the fairness doctrine comes to mind.
Is he never held accountable?

19. No, rush, you do not have an army. You have media.
You are Julius Streicher, and if everything went the way you would like you would end up being hanged.

21. Rush's army will not come out of their basements
They are comfortable. They have no motivation for any fight. They own radios and computers. Their "principles" are mostly hot air they would not fight any real battle or take any real risks for. Look at how many of them have joined the armed forces to "defend" their country in Iraq.

24. Feh on Rush's army
I pissed off a local white supremacy group close to Tulsa when I first moved here with a letter to an editor. They sent me a care package with their latest newsletter with insults written in the margins. Unfortunately for them, I had done a research paper on groups like theirs and knew their particular one was composed mainly of fat bubbas whose members barely could get it together to form any kind of coherent organization. Meetings mainly consisted of drinking and shooting at beer cans in the woods while they dreamed of riding the coattails of more disciplined white supremacy groups who they were hoping would start a race war soon.

That's Rush's army.
