Elizabeth Warren Strikes Terror Into Rush Limbaugh’s Heart

[one_voice]

There can be no greater sign of just how afraid of Elizabeth Warren the right truly is than Rush Limbaugh’s rant against Warren on his radio show today.


Limbaugh said, “How many people does it take? The taxes of how many people does it take to pay Elizabeth Warren? The tuition of how many students to pay Elizabeth Warren. I’d like to know how many pensions she has. At Harvard, Rutgers, time at the White House, time at TARP with Dingy Harry. If she’s elected to the Senate, how many pensions is this woman? Social Security, we pay a lot of money to Ms. Warren. She’s a parasite. She’s a parasite who hates her host. Willing to destroy the host while she sucks the life out of it. Roads, bridges, firefighters and policemen, nobody got rich because everybody has to use them and we all pay for that. Well who built the trucks? Who laid the concrete and the asphalt, as though government does all of this.”

Limbaugh then retold the story of The Little Red Hen, and said that somebody needs to read it to Warren. Later Limbaugh closed by driving home his message that Warren is as un-American as Obama, “I cannot emphasize this enough, that this exactly the way Obama views this country in the rest of the world. This is the thinking behind Mao Zedong’s Cultural Revolution.”

*snip*

Limbaugh’s attack on Warren proved just how frightened of her they really are. All it took was the release of one poll showing her leading Scott Brown to send them into full panic mode. What’s scares people like Limbaugh isn’t Warren herself, but her message. Elizabeth Warren has a resume that is chocked full of evidence of her concern for regular Americans and her tireless advocacy for consumer protection against deceptive financial products.

Rush Limbaugh’s attack on Warren implies that everyone who isn’t rich is a parasite on the economy. His message is that the other 98% of Americans exist only because of the efforts of the top 2%. Warren’s advocacy seems to be the kind of return on their investment that many Americans want. In this time of economic sorrow and despair, Warren’s message that the government should be working for most Americans instead of against them is a powerful one.

Elizabeth Warren is refuting the conservative message of selfishness, and elitist “job creators.” The Republican Party is so frightened by Elizabeth Warren that they have deployed Rush Limbaugh to take her down.

1. How many homeless does it take

to pay Limbaugh his $50 million per year?

[FarLeftFist]

2. How many oxycontins does it take to get him high, how many meatball subs to fill his tummy, how many

wives does it take to realize he can't be loved by an actual women but by gold-diggers and scoundrels.

[LuvNewcastle]

3. "A parasite who hates [his] host"

I can think of no more apt description of Limbaugh's relationship to America.

[Mugweed]

29. I was thinking that statement applied to all republican politicians

They all seem to hate the government, but are career government employees who do nothing to make things better.

[SammyWinstonJack]

43. More projection from a scumbag republican. Perfect!

[Plucketeer]

74. LOL! You NAILED IT!

If only LimpNuts could revise EVERYTHING about this nation, could he then embrace that from which he's bilked his millions.

[FrenchieCat]

4. Did Rush even attend college? Why is he worried about Ms. Warren's future pension from Harvard?

I mean...I paid Harvard tuition for 4 years, and I don't mind it if some ends up with Ms. Warren eventually....so why should he? I don't get it. :shrug:

[CTyankee]

41. Rush was a pampered frat boy who dropped out of college (NOT an Ivy League school).

He had a very comfortable life growing up. I don't pretend to know why he is so bitter...

[maxrandb]

42. That's too easy a question to answer

It's because she truly is a person who lived the American Dream and "pulled herself up by her bootstraps", but understand that those "bootstraps" were there because of the American people providing a "leg-up" to people who want to use it.

She's a self-made success, who was able to be "self-made" because of the "hand-up" she got from the American people.

She is Limbaugh's worst nightmare, A successful American who is NOT selfish! That scares the living Santorum out of him.

[nxylas]

73. The anti-Limbaugh, in other words

Since Limbaugh is a classic example of someone who was "born on third base and thinks he scored a home run".

[TxVietVet]

45. druggie limpballs FAILED at college faster than his marriages.

:rofl:

[OHdem10]

5. WATCH THE RIGHT TRY to DESTROY HER. A Strong Democrat

is their first line of attack. Feingold, Grayson,
Dean, the list goes on.

This means Democratic Activists must cover her back
and be ready to help.

[Enthusiast]

30. Yup. Right on. nt

[lark]

76. No problem with donating to a deserving Dem.

Unfortunately most of them, vote for the interests of the wealthy class and against anything that would help the working class, enviroment, etc. They will not get a dime. Franken, Warren - good people to support.

[Beaverhausen]

6. Who built the trucks? Who laid the asphalt? Does he realize what he said?

He just gave confirmed that government does indeed create jobs with projects such as infrastructure, etc.

He put two and two together just when he was trying to make some other point entirely.

Idiot.

[JHB]

36. It doesn't matter. His audience just hears the tone and who it's pointed against...

...the actual content is irrelevant. It'll just be regurgitated without thinking it through.

[TBF]

38. Labor built the trucks, labor laid the asphalt - and it's about time we get our share. nt

[Historic NY]

47. Yup, they think this stuff magically appears..

[Cal33]

7. I understand Rush Limbaugh makes around $30 million a year. Elizabeth Warren will

never even come close to that, no matter how many pensions she will get.
I've watched Limbaugh a few times years ago, when he was a guest on
other talk shows. I could take him only for a minute or two. He is
a sicko.

[TxVietVet]

48. limpballs' ratings are falling. Actually,

I had read an article that people are actually getting tired of the propaganda that hannity, o'lielly, beckkk and the rest of the conservanazis are putting out. But, that shit blasts the airwaves, 24/7/365. :dunce:

[Cleita]

8. ROFLMAO!

She's doing something right if that's the result.

:rofl:

[blue neen]

9. How many Viagras does it take for Rush to get it up?

How much stock does Rush own in Pfizer?

[msongs]

10. "I welcome their hatred" lol nt

[66 dmhlt]

11. BREAKING: Some Think Limbaugh Actually HAS a Heart!

[Frosty1]

12. The problem with Rush's Story

is he's telling it wrong. The big corporate hen got the farmers to clear the land, then plant the wheat, water it, weed it,and harvest it. The millers then ground it into flour. The big corporate hen then got the bakery to mix it bake it and deliver it. Problem was when it came time to pay these people for their work they were paid in crumbs. Not even enough crumbs to feed themselves much less their families.

[SpiralHawk]

13. Now that DraftDodger Limbaugh is ranting incoherently the majority of the time...

...his audience will continue to dwindle. His vapid arguments just don't have any traction. They are little more than a convolted whine -- a whine born in his gut-twisting fear that his cushy, eeleete $30-million-a-year payola-for-propaganda lifestyle might be seen for what it is.

Only the truly sick-in-soul will be able to bear listening to him twist the truth into utter whiney gibberish...

[ooglymoogly]

78. The clear oral complex showing itself in this Rorschach

clearly indicates that Rush's true calling is a fluffer on a porn set...hence the frequent trips to...well you know.

[customerserviceguy]

14. I'll admit, he's scared about the poll numbers that just came out on her

But I'm sure he knows that the banksters will spend big to try to defeat her, and he's just trying to prime the pump. This is how he inflates his ego as a "leader".

[TomClash]

15. She’s a parasite who hates her host. Willing to destroy the host while she sucks the life out of it"

Michelle Bachmann says hello.

[Marie Marie]

16. Ms warren has more class in her pinky fingernail than this pig

of man has in that humongous boil on his ass that kept him out of Vietnam. The bully has met his match in this fight.

[spartan61]

17. Has limbaugh ever complained about all the pensions

that George H W Bush is collecting? He has a pension for being the president, a pension for being vice president, and another pension for being the CIA Director. Funny how he is so selective in his criticism. Has he ever criticized a repuke?

[Raster]

77. limpballs criticize a rethuglican?

Nope. Does not happen.

[gordianot]

18. This lady is tough and she thinks at lightning speed.

The last person any Republican would want to debate in an election or in the Senate.

[Lars77]

19. This is some of the most absurd shit i ever read

I thought he could cook up something better than that.

Does he really think that if you have two employers in your career you get double pension, three employers three pensions etc? Surely he couldve come up with something better than that hahahaha

[stevedeshazer]

20. Bring it on. She can take it, as long as we support her.

Get her back.

[certainot]

55. we won't be getting any progressive's back as long as there is NO organized challenge to RW radio

1000 coordinated radio stations with NO real time challenge. protected by call screeners and prompted by paid callers.

no picketing of those radio stations. no major campaign to shame their local sponsors that pay the overhead, or of the universities that endorse the racism and hate and global warming denial every week when they broadcast sports on those stations.

see my post below....

[Firebrand Gary]

21. This makes me very happy.

He's immediately going nasty which mens one thing, the GOP really is afraid.

[AverageJoe90]

22. Doughboy Blimpbaugh's at it again, ain't he?

:rofl:

[NYC_SKP]

23. I heard the show, her comments were fucking AWESOME!!! They deserve their own OP.

``http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/ticket/elizabeth-warren-takes-class-warfare-video-190318681.html

"I hear all this, you know, 'Well, this is class warfare, this is whatever,' "

"No. There is nobody in this country who got rich on his own. Nobody."

"You built a factory out there? Good for you,"

"But I want to be clear: you moved your goods to market on the roads the rest of us paid for; you hired workers the rest of us paid to educate; you were safe in your factory because of police forces and fire forces that the rest of us paid for."

"You didn't have to worry that marauding bands would come and seize everything at your factory, and hire someone to protect against this, because of the work the rest of us did."

"Now look, you built a factory and it turned into something terrific, or a great idea?"

"God bless. Keep a big hunk of it."

"But part of the underlying social contract is you take a hunk of that and pay forward for the next kid who comes along."

[Historic NY]

49. +1

[gtar100]

24. Rush's rants are very revealing. Full of insightful projection.

Everything he accuses Warren of (and liberals in general) sound *exactly* like the repug party he leads.

That tells me that on some level he is fully aware of exactly what sort of a person he really is.

[Politicalboi]

25. Sounds like Rush is looking for

The ONE! I worry for Warren. These people are nuts.

[Harriety]

26. When an animal is scared it attacks. His fear is showing big time.

[SkyDaddy7]

27. They are worried about Warren's popularity but...

do not under-estimate the influence Rush the "Oxy-Blob" along with the rest of the Right Wing Media Empire has over many average Americans! I just hope Warren's team understand this & does not think they can allow such comments to go unchallenged especially in Mass.

[deutsey]

28. Sigh...I remember a time when I had never heard of this fascist blowhard

Those were the days...

[Sienna86]

31. Our first female president?

I'd be thrilled to vote for her in 2016.

[BlueMTexpat]

34. Same here, with the greatest of pleasure and hope. nt

[TBF]

39. I'd be thrilled to vote for her in 2012. nt

[Wilmer]

72. Our first female president?

I'd be even more thrilled to do it in 2012.

[Tabasco_Dave]

32. Rush Limbaugh has a heart?

:shrug:

[Fumesucker]

52. Well, it's not *his* heart..

And he keeps it in a jar..

:evilgrin:

[Scottybeamer70]

33. Sounds like he is

describing the republican party.

[Beartracks]

35. "Elitist 'job creators'" -- thank you!!!!!

Something about the term "job creators" has bugged me since the day I heard it. I should have guessed that it's because it's another perfect example of the right doing or being something that they accuse the left of doing or being -- in this case, being elitist. It's not that job creators are elitist, but the use of the condescending, patronizing term "job creators" to describe the wealthy, most certainly is.

Limbaugh has previously categorized non-wealthy Americans as failures by insisting that the rich are the successful Americans. So it's no big surprise to find him throwing them under the bus as parasites, too.

=============================

[underpants]

37. I heard this - he lead with "the video has gone viral"

to his listeners that sounds like EVERYBODY thinks this is bad but in fact it probably means that people agree with her. Never let facts get in the way of his BS.

[Octafish]

40. The Vulgar Pigboy rakes in $33 million per year and that's the best he can do - insult a genius?

Hey, Flushbo! You and Ms. Warren couldn't be more different.
Unlike her, you haven't worked a day in your life to make this a better world.

[lunatica]

44. Never let it be said his wealth relies totally on his dittoheads' adulation

Or the people who make his radio station work. Yeah, who the fuck needs the little people?!

[TxVietVet]

46. IF the conservanazis sent their chief propagandist on the first attack

Then, they are extremely fearful that her message will destroy their propaganda message. Warren has started to drive the spear of truth through the conservanazis' evil heart.

[Doctor_J]

50. Ah, what a different country we would be

if, after it was discovered that Tim McVeigh was a Limbecile, someone had Berg'd Rusty. We might well still be a democracy. At this point the carnage it is going to take to rid the world of his influence is immense. What an opportunity was missed.

[sinkingfeeling]

51. You know, Rush, I went past a site this morning where they're building a new highway. And I'll be

darn if the sides of the trucks didn't say 'Arkansas Department of Transportation'! I do believe that's a state government department.

[OwnedByFerrets]

53. Fuck you, you UN-American SOB.

[certainot]

54. but there isNO organized challenge to team limbaugh- to get warren's back.

thing is, just noticing this attack doesn't mean anyone is getting warren's back. like all the other progressives RW radio attacks and swiftboats, and limbaugh is just the point man, after weeks and months of this from the same stations that do our state university athletics and advertise the local pizza place and do the local traffic reports, will the attacks and lies and threats become acceptable? will they become truth in the rest of the media?

this crap, the same as with acorn and van jones and gore and kerry and obama, is just going to keep going until the left finally stops giving the RW radio monopoly a free speech free ride.

picketing, local sponsor boycotts and shaming, and getting our universities out of right wing radio are a minimum if we want to be able to say we are getting warrens back, or any other progressive. warren might be able to hold her own at this point but we can't keep expecting all our reps to have tokeep a gun by the door and still have a real democracy.

[Tumbulu]

81. I have agreed with you for just about 20 years now

and cannot for the life of me figure out why urban dems do not understand the power the wrong wing fascist media has on the country simply by being the only voice in rural areas. Their hate speech has destroyed what remained of our democracy.

[certainot]

96. the perfect weapon- gives headaches to those it attacks, so they ignore it- biggest blunder in histo

ry, considering the time lost on global warming. truly tragic.

i just saw michael moore on bill maher single out talk radio but ....

[Ikonoklast]

56. He both hates and fears women.

Misogynist with a succession of sham marriages behind him.

[savannah43]

68. For him women are just beards.

We all know what he really likes. Food.

[Ilsa]

90. I'm thinking it's almost time for him to pay off wife #4 to keep

her quiet about his peculiar lusts.

[Thav]

57. The post subject is false.

Rush Limbaugh has no heart.

[ehrnst]

58. I hope she stays out of small planes. (nt)

[certainot]

97. exactly right, because the establishment left does not believe in assination by plane

and if you think all those liberals died in accidents the you are establishment

[Johnny2X2X]

59. More of a Corporatist

"that this exactly the way Obama views this country in the rest of the world. This is the thinking behind Mao Zedong’s Cultural Revolution.”

Really? Is Rush's audience still this stupid that they'd believe that Obama is in any way left wing? How can people honestly look at Obama's record and say he is Left of even Bill Clinton? He's the most centrist Democratic President in modern history and these jokers are still comparing him to Communists. Obama is not anywhere near far left enough for me or I would guess most of the posters here. He's a centrist and stronger arguments can be made that he's actually right of center rather than left.

How can such total and utter nonsense fly with his Audience?

[joanbarnes]

60. Rush and his "ilk" are the parasites that hate their host!

[struggle4progress]

61. Limbaugh’s rants all translate to: "I bet I can get attention from this!"

[certainot]

98. you are wrong. this is the beginning of the same kind of swiftboating all significant liberals get f

from them. and it is often successful- whether it takes a week or years, because the left has no fucking clue.

the more attention he gets the better- the only reason he makes the money he does, selling war and deregulation and charachter assassination, is that he get to do it from a bubble.

i don't give a shit how much he makes.

[SOS]

62. Just plugged Limbaugh's quotes into my political calculator

"Obama's view is the thinking behind Mao Zedong" = "I am Joseph Goebbels"

and

"A parasite that hates it's host" = "Goldman Sachs"

[roxiejules]

63. The taxes of how many people to pay for Scott Walker's

multiple pensions? County pension, state pension, social security....


http://www.wisdems.org/news/press/view/498

[elleng]

64. Good

[drokhole]

65. It's funny because his own statements disprove the fallacy of the "rugged individualist"...

"Well who built the trucks? Who laid the concrete and the asphalt, as though government does all of this."

First off, like Ms. Warren said - those people all benefited from a public education system, and those are government funded (through tax payer money) construction jobs.

But, more importantly, I'll tell you who didn't "build the trucks" or "lay the concrete and asphalt" - that rich, upper-crust fuck who's sitting back and raking in all the money. It was the muscle and sweat of the "working class" - overworked and underpaid (guess that would make them the "overworked class"). This, like I said, goes to show how any talk of this Ayn Rand-y, "bootstraps," "rugged individualism" bullshit is complete fantasyland.

And, just to clarify - those working class blokes are getting (under)paid solely for the jobs that they directly do, while the rich fuck, fat-cat is sitting back, benefiting from, and getting paid for the collective of jobs each of those workers do.

So, who's the real parasite?

[Ikonoklast]

80. The answer to your question is "Rush Limbaugh".

He is a walking, talking definition of 'Parasite'.

In earlier times in human history, he would have starved to death as a person unwilling to work to help feed even himself.

[SoapBox]

66. LimpDong...makes me sick

What a pig.

Sweaty...greasy...greedy...corrupt...vile...liar...

and on and on.

[Fearless]

67. The panic is that he knows that his side is full of shit and it's not about fact but about greed.

[Initech]

69. Wait - that would require that Limbaugh has a heart to begin with!

[DirkGently]

70. She's hugely threatening. Brilliant, passionate, and dead on-target.

[kag]

71. You're wrong...

Limpballs doesn't HAVE a heart.

He makes me want to :puke:

[Blue Meany]

75. I think the threat she poses to the right is not that she can stop

what they are trying to do or launch liberal initiatives in the Senate. Rather, they need to pick off the Democrats' left flank(s) in order to control the discourse, so that those views (or those Feingold, Kuccnich, Grayson, etc>) can be labeled as outside the mainstream.

[ooglymoogly]

79. The right clearly understands she will bring down the wrath

of common sense on a senate who believes kabuki and smoke and mirrors will cover their tracks.

[louslobbs]

82. Limbaugh is great at projection, every ugly lie he spewed about Warren describes him and his ilk to

a Teabag. I want them all to keep talking, keep projecting, keep letting out the crazy, the more they talk, the more they out themselves to most of the country as the misanthropes they really are.
Lou

[Lost-in-FL]

83. Like cleaning feces from his eyes and trying to hit a piñata!

That was a long rant that says nothing.

[unionworks]

93. dear job "creators"

Fawk you! Haw Haawww!!! :evilgrin:

[midnight]

84. Elizabeth let's them know how greed is not good, and she gives them the break down,

in every greedy tax break they demanded and every evil war they waged...

[caseymoz]

85. I hope there's a hell just because I know Limbaugh will end up there.

Instead, let's talk about his salary. How much should a cruel, thoughtless ideologue, a propagandist who's employed to stay ignorant and spread ignorance be paid? How many teachers could we pay if we weren't paying him? How much mental damage would we not be paying for?

[rhett o rick]

86. I fear for her safety. nm

[Fire Walk With Me]

87. If the republicans claim the 1% are "jobs creators", when where the fuck are the jobs?

[unionworks]

88. gasp!

You must not mock our "job creators! Creators! They are our Creators"! The monied American Aristocracy! :rofl: :rofl: if you had all the money the heritage foundation paid spin doctors to coin that phrase, you could retire comfortably today.

[workinclasszero]

89. Rush Limbaugh has a heart??

Sorry,cant buy that one! :silly:

Go Elizabeth Warren!!:toast:

[Matariki]

91. "how many pensions is this woman"

That doesn't even make sense. Not that I expected sense.

[Matariki]

92. So sad about Rush Limbaugh's heart attack in October.

[Deep13]

94. Here's to abject horror.

:toast:

On second thought, how can terror fill Limbaugh's heart? I thought it was already filled with cheese.

[rasputin1952]

95. A Republican's nightmare...an intelligent woman...

especially one going against a "do nothing" Brown.

A first quarter college dropout taking on a Harvard professor...this isn't even a contest, Limbaugh is so far out of his element, he's going to drown in his out sweat.
