Julian Assange's Life Exposes Rush Limbaugh's Anti-Government Schick for the Fraud It Always Was.
Edited on Thu Dec-09-10 03:59 PM by David Zephyr
For all of Rush Limbaugh's phony "anti-government" rhetoric, the truth is that compared to Julian Assange, Rush looks like the very governmental bureaucrat that he has built his entire career attacking. If Rush Limbaugh looked in the mirror, he'd see his reflection as the very straw horse big-government colluder he created in order to become a millionaire.

And this goes to the Tea Party Movement in this country: There's a self-analysis that Americans in the anti-government Tea Party movement must make now: are they really against the Big Brother they say they are or are they just stooges of the establishment they pretend to protest? Do they really stand for anything or are they just the "helpful fools" of transnational corporations and multi-millionaire powerbrokers here in America who sold us all out?

Rush Limbaugh is not against the Big Government he pretends to hate. He is just an out-sourced propaganda spokesperson for the collusion between Big Government and transnational corporate traitors.

Rush Limbaugh is not against "the media". He is the friggin' media.

Rush Limbaugh, like his cohort and dear friend, Karl Rove, is a part of the Bush Family Dynasty and part of what George Herbert Bush called his "New World Order". When Rush arrived at the White House to spend the night in the Lincoln Bedroom at the invitation of George and Barbara Bush, George Herbert greeted Rush and carried his suitcase for him.

Rush supported the creation of the extra layer of bureaucracy called the Homeland Defense Department.

Rush supported the Patriot Act which stripped away American Civil Liberties.

Have you ever heard Rush Limbaugh seriously criticize the Saudis who have provided the real money behind the Bush Empire for half of a century?

Had any other person been Governor of Florida when Rush Limbaugh was caught in the illegal drug market, he'd still be in prison today. Favors rendered for favors expected. The "government" of Florida cut Rush a lot of slack because his friend was "governor".

Julian Assange and his Wikileaks make mockery of all of Rush's phony anti-government ranting. Julian Assange makes Rush Limbaugh look as anti-government as a kind and sweet postman.

Tea Party Americans, behold Rush Limbaugh and anti-government impostor he really has always been.

Rush, your charade is over. Julian Assange trumped your act because he was the real deal.

6. As Field & Stream, no hotbed of leftist thought, said about Limbaugh:
"talent for hire." He didn't win an "Elmer," but he was in the running.

This after Limbaugh made ads for the Humane Society of the U.S. HSUS is the premier anti-hunting pressure group in this country.

More sobering for some of us who are so concerned about GOP hypocrisy: The GOP doesn't care; in fact they consider hypocrisy sport.

10. "hypocrisy for sport"
That reminds me of Scalia getting caught duck hunting and saying "quack, quack" mocking his conflict of interest. http://www.commondreams.org/views04/0217-04.htm

11. K&R, but sharp DUers knew all of this stuff about the bloated gasbag
prior to any revelations by Assange.

Julian, you've blown the lid off of lots of amazing things, but in this instance, I can only call you "Captain Obvious"!

12. You remind me of the old joke about Rush.
The old joke from the 1990's about Rush:

Q: What's the difference between Rush Limbaugh and the Hindenburg?

A: One is a flaming Nazi gasbag and the other is just a dirigible. :0

13. great perspective- assange has media attention and
team limbaugh hates this guy. maybe there's a way to make this work. team limbaugh has the upper hand by sheer force but the media can take off..... for a while anyway, until team limbaugh moves it the other way.

16. Assange must make Rush's whole act even ridiculous to his most loyal dittoheads.
Rush must truly, as you say, hate this guy indeed.

Sorry for the second post, but I wanted to zero in on what you wrote since this is a discussion forum: "...maybe there's a way to make this work." We should exploit this, especially with tea-party individuals, many of whom like Julian Assange. :)

19. ''Rush, your charade is over. Julian Assange trumped your act because he was the real deal.''
No wonder they'd try to sink Assange. And they deserve attention. For with We the People penured and powerless, we're a piece of cake to control.

For those new to the subject: ABC (and the CIA) and the Rise of Rush Limbaugh

Most importantly: Outstanding OP, David Zephyr. Every. Word. Pure. Gold.

26. I'm glad Assange is doing what he's doing. He's exposing these people for who they really are.

20. You're just now finding out Rush is a fraud??
What planet are you from and how long are you staying?

Seriously, anyone who takes Rush Limbaugh seriously is delusional and the occasional obsession with him here at DU is troubling that so many of *us* give him any kind of credibility. You don't get credibility from the people that like you, you get it from the people who hate you and how scared they are of you.

Rush is a comedian. He is a phony. He always has been and always will be. Hate to break it to you but Glenn Beck is too. They're only in it for the money. They are broadcasters who weren't successful and discovered the formula to make money.

23. See Post #12.
I don't know where you read in my OP that I was just discovering Rush was a fraud, but if I wrote anything that suggested that, I'm sorry.

25. ^+1,000! Teabaggers ARE dupes...
and not big on self-analysis.

Rush is the KoolAid pusherman, and they - the addicts.
