Sick SOB Rush Limbaugh comparing homeless lady in Florida with Queen for a Day Contestant........


Rush you deserve to have to drive through tent cities to get to your palatial house! You deserve it because people have to live the best they can in tents and boxes in your home State of Florida! How low can you go? I think we all know you are a disgusting putrid greedy puppet of the ultra-rich and the wana-be rich that have no conscience!

Hunger and homelessness increase in American cities
A report by the US Conference of Mayors
14 December 2008

http://www.citymayors.com/features/uscity_poverty.html

In US cities, hunger and homelessness are both on the rise according to a report by the US Conference of Mayors. Miami Mayor and Conference President, Manny Diaz, said that at a time when America faced one of the biggest economic downturns in its history, the issues of hunger and homelessness are more prevalent than ever. “Cities are the front lines where these effects are first felt, which is why mayors have been proactive and have implemented local initiatives to combat hunger and homelessness in their communities to take care of our most vulnerable residents,” he explained.

The report reveals that on average, cities reported a 12 per cent increase in homelessness from 2007 to 2008, with 16 cities citing an increase in the number of homeless families. The lack of affordable housing, poverty and unemployment were cited as the primary causes of homelessness for families. For individuals, the top three causes cited were substance abuse, affordable housing and mental illness.

.........

Is that what you want Rush?

3. Rush gets paid to tell idiots their opinions.
He never debates on the show.

He screens his calls.

He never appears on any debate-type programs...even Ann Colter does that.

Why anyone takes what he says seriously is pathetic (not you...but his listeners).

4. This is typical Limblob: Mock the powerless and the vulnerable
The Clintons and the Obamas can take care of themselves. Having fun at Nancy Pelosi's expense is one thing.

Satire is fine when it is deployed on the powerful and the Establishment. It is way below the belt, however, to use satire on vulnerable and poor people who really do not have the ability to defend themselves.

6. He's made his mark
when he has us cringing. And he does. I have a visceral reaction of nails on a chalk board when I hear him. Fortunately he's been moved off the station where I listen to George Noorey at night, so I don't get a whiff of him in the morning. He has a special condescending pronunciation of the word poor that makes it sound like he's sneering about something highly unpleasant. The purrrrr.

7. I think this type of rhetoric in these times is ignorantly callous and
people are getting SICK of pigs like Limbaugh. I'd love to see angry mobs screaming and waving their fists at the Pig Man everywhere he goes. Scare the crap out of him because you know he's nothing but a big coward. Frighten him so he has to stay huddled and alone in his big empty mansion.

Homelessness, hunger, illness and disability (Michael J. Fox) aren't funny.

8. I fully understand that
so much of what is spewed is for shock and to get the other sides shorts tied in a knot (big part of it keeps people listening) but at some point even his Republican listeners have to get disgusted too I mean the stuff he says is just heartless and cruel no matter what side your on. There are certain things that are just not ok if you have the brain of a human-right?

11. Queen for a Day is actually quite tragic. She was always dethroned after 24 hours.
That's a shit comparison Blimp Gasbag.

The real shame is that she's only one of millions. It's only a gesture on Obama's part, compared to what should happen. And that ought to make Blimp really mad. But he has no soul. So he wouldn't understand.

12. Why do you even listen to him?
He's in a business where if you ignore him, he really will go away.

Any mention of his name, helps him.

16. No I don't believe that is true for a single second
why are there so many that feel that way. He is on because of corporations not because of listeners he needs to be taken down based on what he says and does otherwise it will Never happen. Ignore it and it will go away is good sometimes

18. So you listen to him to gather evidence against him?
Good, then I won't have to!

My life is happier without his disturbing lies.

23. When I know what my "enemies" are doing it is a strategy to work against it!
I feel that looking the other way is disastrous! This idiot has gotten where he is because so many people have given him a pass! I give him NO pass and I think that his asinine ways show just how desperate the Republicans really are!

26. I submit that the idiot has gotten where he is because so many people listen in
And what does listening to him actually accomplish, his one trick is raising your blood pressure and confusing listeners' minds by agitating them. It's a proven fact that agitation muddles thinking. You're letting him muddle your (beautiful) mind.

13. Limbo is not sick, he's trashy. He's the archetype of white trash.
That's why he's perfect for what he does. If he was sick, I'd pity him, but he's not. He's genetically inferior or what used to be called white trash. Glen Beck is cut from the same cloth. White trash, period.

24. Me too! Why is he given a pass by so many? Like I said "Is this what he (they) want?"
Tent cities and children without homes - people in the streets like this lady was living in her car with her child? Is that the America that he wants to call "home"?

28. Well, Rush doesn't think sexual humiliation, sleep deprivation and waterboarding are torture, so...
Well, that would be wrong to do those things to him. I guess.

25. When you said that I thought about that "mob" that went down to the chad counting for Bush!
Remember them? There were a whole bunch of Repub advocates in that bunch:

THE "GORE EXCEPTION"

A Layman's Guide to the United States Supreme Court Decision in Bush v. Gore

Mark H. Levine Attorney at Law

http://www.mediasense.com/itsnotover/SupremeCourt-QA2.htm

Q: So who caused Florida to miss the December 12 deadline?

A: The Bush lawyers who, before Gore filed a single lawsuit, went to court to stop the recount. The rent-a-mob in Miami that got free Florida vacations for intimidating officials. The constant request for delay by Bush lawyers in Florida courts. And, primarily, the US Supreme Court, which refused to consider Bush's equal protection claim on November 22, 2000, then stopped the recount entirely on December 9, and then, on December 12 at 10 p.m., suddenly accepted the equal protection claim they had rejected three weeks earlier, but complained there was no time left to count the votes in the two hours left before midnight that evening.

..........

Enough!

27. I'll never, ever forget the mob.
You know how people claim they feel afraid when they see (say) three young black guys in urban attire, walking toward them on the sidewalk?

Me, I've come to feel far more fearful of doughy white guys in golf shirts. Bad things, man!

20. How can any normal people ever interact with the PIGMAN?
He should be ostracized by all but his lunatic followers.
