Limbaugh: John and Elizabeth Edwards "turned to ... politics" instead of God after cancer news

Limbaugh: John and Elizabeth Edwards "turned to ... politics" instead of God after cancer news
On the March 23 edition of his nationally syndicated radio show, Rush Limbaugh told listeners that former Sen. John Edwards (D-NC) and his wife Elizabeth are "political people are different than you and I." Referring to the couple's March 22 announcement that Elizabeth Edwards has Stage IV metastatic breast cancer, Limbaugh said: "ost people, when told a family member's been diagnosed with the kind of cancer Elizabeth Edwards has, they turn to God. The Edwards turned to the campaign. Their religion is politics and the quest for the White House." Limbaugh later asked: "If you're Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton , how do you now attack John Edwards?" Limbaugh added: "Not a problem for Hillary, the Clinton will find a way. But Barack, it's going to be a challenge."

So why didn't Rush Limbergh turn to God instead of Oxycontin when he had his 'back pain'

1. This talking point will spread like wildfire, though.

People want politicans who tell them the kind of lies about religion and belief that they tell themselves every day.

[Neecy]

2. good question

I wonder why Rush didn't 'turn to God' when he had anal cysts that kept him out of the war he so desperately wanted to fight in Vietnam.

3. Some people use drugs as a crutch to get them through tough moments, right Piggy?

12. Some "Christian"

Its "Christians" like this man that made me turn to Wicca!

After one "pastor" I used to know refused to say one thing about this "wonderful man of God", I told his religion and him to go sc*ew off and left the church for good!

Some religion, with wonderful loving people like Limbaugh, Coulter, Dobson, Robertson and Falwell.

If their God is real, he is either a psycho to tolerate these people, or a jerk like they are!

4. Wow, wackjob on Obama too?

And Katie Couric is becoming one of Rush's ilk.

See my post here. The illustration says it all.

[flakey_foont]

11. agreed

[iconoclastic cat]

7. Keep talking Fat Man

Maybe you can give us an encore of your wildly successful Michael J. Fox impression while you're at it.

8. And some of my knuckledragging friends were so proud of the right's support...

Now I've just done a little travelling around the blogosphere and other places and nowhere do I see from the right the slavering hope for her death that Cheney's near-miss bombing and other health issues has elicited from the left.

I guess she spoke just a liiiiiittle too soon.

10. I'm sure Rush DID turn to God after getting busted for the hillbilly heroin -

something like, "OH, GOD, PLEASE DON'T SEND ME TO THE BIG HOUSE...OH GOD, DON'T TAKE AWAY MY FAME AND FORTUNE AND CELEBRITY!"

[CJCRANE]

13. Maybe their politics is faith in action.

Trying to make America and the world a better place.

14. Rush is a pathetic pig!

There is absolutely no reason to attack John and Elizabeth Edwards. It's pathetic.

[LynneSin]

17. Well he has to keep up with Annthrax and he got a double whammy in with that one

That covered both John and his wife

[WI_DEM]

15. The Edwards already have a firm belief in God--what about you, Rush?

What did you turn to when you were abusing drugs and trying to smuggle Viagra?

[durtee librul]

20. Well bible boy...

pray tell, you are a single man and you needed viagra for what again? Oh, I forgot, you were entertaining Rosie Palm and her sisters?

[Initech]

16. Yeah, and I'm sure Oxycontin Boy is the religious type.

:eyes:

[Forkboy]

18. Politics gets more done.

Gods been slacking for what,2000 years now?

[valerief]

19. Ha! Thanks for the laugh. He's such an asswipe. nt
