I can't say this enough-what a pig.


Limbaugh falsely claimed homeless woman at Obama town hall asked for a "car" and a "new kitchen"

Summary: Rush Limbaugh falsely claimed that a homeless woman at President Obama's Fort Myers town hall event asked Obama for a "car" and "a new kitchen." In fact, Henrietta Hughes was simply saying that she needs housing. She stated: "e need something more than a vehicle and parks to go to. We need our own kitchen and our own bathroom. Please help."

Discussing President Obama's February 10 town hall event in Fort Myers, Florida, Rush Limbaugh falsely claimed that a homeless woman at the event asked Obama for a "car" and a "new kitchen." In fact, the woman, Henrietta Hughes, was simply saying that she needs housing. She stated: "I have an urgent need -- unemployment and homelessness, a very small vehicle for my family and I to live in. We need urgent, and the housing authority have two years waiting on this, and we need something more than a vehicle and parks to go to. We need our own kitchen and our own bathroom. Please help."

During the February 10 edition of his nationally syndicated radio show, Limbaugh said, "There's another bite coming up here -- a crying woman named Henrietta asks Obama for a car, for a new kitchen, and a bathroom." Limbaugh went on to assert: "Obama tells her to talk to his staff after the town hall. She asks for a car, a kitchen, and a bathroom."

Before airing an audio clip of Hughes at the town hall, Limbaugh stated: "I mean, as an American, this is embarrassing, and it's sad, but there's a reason why -- there's a reason why this woman takes her one chance to talk to the president of the United States and ask and beg for a car and a kitchen."

Moments after airing the clip, Limbaugh stated: "Do you hear the applause when the woman says she needed a car, a new vehicle, a new house?"

1. She has a car, dipshit. (Not the OP, the oxy riddled moron that gets paid $26 million to spew crap.)

It's also her home.

[graywarrior]

2. How much more strain can his heart withstand?

God, that guy just lives on and on and on.

6. Heart?

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.

10. My error.

I meant sewage pump.

22. Not much, if my prayers come true.

Seen a picture of him lately?

He looks like an oversized sausage casing, all blotchy and stretched out.

He's right on schedule for the big EIB coronary take-out platter.

[graywarrior]

25. As Perot used to tell us, there ain't nothing more horrifying than

watching sausages being made.

[TheCowsCameHome]

29. ...or bursting.

[graywarrior]

30. And he is bursting

Stand back!

[TheCowsCameHome]

31. .....indeed, but I want a crowd to enjoy it with me.

Otherwise it would be like watching the Fourth of July fireworks by yourself.

[TheCowsCameHome]

32. Duplicate - got too excited - sorry

[rpannier]

3. Limbaugh falsely claimed

Why do those three words always seem to congregate together?

[Betsy Ross]

4. Fuck Limbaugh. n/t

[calimary]

5. Better yet - UNfuck limbaugh.

NEVER fuck limbaugh. EVER. I hope he never gets sex again. May he chafe against involuntary celibacy for the rest of his miserable life.

[pacalo]

11. No way in hell. There isn't enough money or knock-out drugs in the world.

[riderinthestorm]

36. Gah!! My eyes!! Post a graphic warning or sumthang... nt

[Turbineguy]

7. Rush Limbaugh

another way of saying: "used toilet paper".

[liberalmuse]

8. The Oxycontin really fucked up his hearing.

The wingnuts would love to believe that every liberal wants a fucking handout, and unfortunately for them, that's just not true.

[FiveGoodMen]

9. Lying should be a crime!

[LaPera]

12. Please donate to Media Matters.

http://mediamatters.org/

If Limbaugh, O'Reilly, Coulter & Fox news are constantly attacking Media Matters for exposing their lies each day, so you know it's worth supporting!

[Tommy_Carcetti]

13. Karma will catch up to this man. It will.

Oxycotin's an addictive beast, and a 30 day publicity stint in rehab isn't going to cut it. He'll be caught redhanded at Denny's again, and when he goes down, I will dance and smile and cheer.

P.O.S.

[AndyA]

14. I think we should all give Limpballs a break. Really, I do.

Put yourself in his shoes for a change.

He's fat. Obese. That's got to be uncomfortable, all that fat and blubber under his arms, his waistline is probably red and irritated all the time from the tightness of his slacks and belt. Think of the embarrassment he must feel when he gets naked in front of others!

He's ugly. Inside as well as outside, and he knows it.

He's losing his hair. Some people are attracted to men with thinning or no hair, but it's a package deal, and Limpy has a nasty personality, so I doubt anyone is lining up for him. (Unless it's for his money, or because of his "celebrity," which isn't exactly comforting to him, I wouldn't think.)

He's loud, obnoxious, and overbearing.

He has to look at himself in the mirror every day, and he knows he's living a lie.

He probably has all kinds of ailments, skin rashes, acne problems, and let's face it...the pee wee is probably...well...pretty pee wee.

He probably has a flatulence problem due to his poor diet.

And now, obviously, his hearing is going too. Poor guy!

I could go on and on. Give the miserable little guy a break. Really, he's probably more miserable than any Democrat.

:rofl:

[babylonsister]

15. Bwhahaha! Your 'break' is perfect! nt

[MrPerson]

16. Did Pigboy use a real whiny voice to make fun of the poor woman?

[KamaAina]

18. Or, worse still, use Clarence "Frogman" Henry's music to mock her?

as he usually does before his "Homeless Updates": "I'm a lonely frog, I ain't got a home..." :puke: :puke: :puke:

[4 t 4]

19. Ok so in the last couple of days

he's made fun of a homeless woman, made fun of Helen Thomas, one of our elders with a career like no other and publicly announced he wants the President of the United States to fail. Where do we go from here when it comes to him? This is just not what should be on the public airwaves am I right?

[TheCowsCameHome]

24. Fuck him. Mother Nature will deal with him very soon.

He's on her short list of garbage to dispose of.

[lsewpershad]

17. Sweet Lin....

needs a lot of help that only HIS god can give

[guitar man]

20. you know

I abhor violence. I would never advocate violence against anyone for anything. But, that "man" and a few others of his repulsive ilk have broken something in me in regards to any compassion I might feel for them. While I would never commit an act of violence myself or suggest anybody else do so, I have a feeling if someone walked up to him on the street and knocked all his teeth out with a ball bat, I probably could not restrain myself from laughing hysterically, nor could I find in in myself to condemn the individual that did it.

In short, I have just simply had enough of these repulsive pukebags. Just. Enough.

[REACTIVATED IN CT]

21. How much you want to bet we'll hear this from Washington

Journal callers starting tomorrow ?

[Ichingcarpenter]

23. We had a Pizza member of DU fling the same crap yesterday

When I posted that she was offered a place to live.
His thread got removed as did the poster.

[bridgit]

26. Thought she said they needed their own bathroom & kitchen but it's worse than that, Limbaugh said...

she was a plant, Julio too, made to make Obama look like a miracle working messiah as the woman standing behind mouthed "I love you, Barack"...not Rush!? He wouldn't suggest smack-shit like that, would he?

[SpiralHawk]

27. Limbaugh lied about dodging the draft, and his drug addiction...he's a Compleat Republicon

averse to the truth

[crimsonblue]

28. how heartless can you be?

I got mine, so screw you!

[Raine]

34. Lie, lie, lie

disagree with what is fact if you're so inclined but don't make up lies to disagree with. I guess he doesn't know that when you lie you break one of God's Ten Commandments (since that kind of thing is supposedly so important to the wingnuts.)

[Ilsa]

35. He's confused. HE'S THE ONE THAT BOUGHT A WOMAN A CAR:

Rush Limbaugh Buys Belinda the Jeweler a Car to Beat Post-Election Blues
Thursday, November 06, 2008
By Penny Starr, Senior Staff Writer

(CNSNews.com) – In the days leading up to the presidential election, radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh fielded calls from listeners concerned about an Obama administration, including one Texas woman who he thought sounded under the weather.

“Have you heard of Zicam?” Limbaugh asked. “I would go out and get some and swab your nose. I’ll tell you what else I am going to do. I’m going to send you a copy of Vince Flynn’s latest novel.

“In addition to Vince Flynn’s latest novel, I’m going to buy you a car,” he added.

“I thought he was kidding at first,” Belinda Davis told CNSNews.com, “talking about (President-elect Barack) Obama and how he will take everything away, so he would give me a car and Obama could take it away.”

SNIP

Riiiight. Obama is going to take Repukes' cars away...

[Canuckistanian]

37. What would he do without lies?

I mean his whole career is based on a series of easily disprovable, obvious lies.

If he didn't have a malleable, easily convinced audience, where would he be today??

There's something really wrong here and it goes FAR beyond just Rush.

[libodem]

38. He is a pig

and a big fat liar. God, he is repulsive.

[Manifestor_of_Light]

39. Google "Jeff Christie" for his previous life. n/t

[libodem]

43. OK

thanks.

[depakid]

40. No fairness doctrine and license accountability = culture of lies

A perfect examle of where a rersponsible spokesperson should be allowed airtime to correct the record.

[orleans]

41. cheney would have shot her, the fuckhead would have laughed at her

but, truth be told, she never would have been allowed into one of their pre screened events. and if she had been, she never would have been one of the few pre chosen to speak.

our president kissed her and told her to talk to his staff

night and day.

[democracy1st]

42. Wonders if he'll let his audience know a republican came to the rescue!
