The Los Angeles Times’ media journalist James Rainey take a look at how right-wing pundits Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity are dealing with Barack Obama’s victory. “[W]hen he is demonizing Barack Obama, fabricating Obama policies, blaming Obama for single-handedly causing the recession and the stock market crash,” Rainey writes of Limbaugh, “he doesn’t pretend to be fair.” The LAT the

I happened to notice The Chicago Sun Times's Ballyhooing of Obama's Supposed smear of Rush Limbaugh.

For the record, Obama did not smear Rush, at all. Technorati Tags: Rush Limbaugh ,Politi

He sits behind his golden microphone each week day and broadcasts to millions of loyal conservatives across the nation. He cajoles the tedious Democrat Campaign over the airwaves and urges his myriads of listeners to dedicate their primary votes to his own cause: Operation Chaos.Rush believes that Republicans can screw up the Democrat nomination’s process and thus render a death blow to the Democrat hopefuls in November. He has faith in his own audience and his conception; the only thing wrong with that is this: it’s un-American.Instead of letting the American people vote for their own candidates in these final races, Rush wants to spoil the whole process. Depending upon who is the underdog in each State, Rush urges his listeners to vote for either Hillary or Obama. He wants the race t
Conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh downplayed his "dreaming of riots in Denver" statement, saying that he wasn't calling for riots and was referring to warnings of trouble if super delegates decide the nomination at the Democratic National Convention. Limbaugh's comments on his syndicated show Wednesday prompted Mayor John Hickenlooper to say: "Anyone who would call for riots in an American city has clearly lost their bearings." Hear him sing: Limbaugh made his comment Wednesday to the tune of the holiday song, "White Christmas," and said riots during the convention would ensure Democrats don't get elected. Glenn Spagnuolo, an organizer with the protest group Re-create 68, mimicked a comment by state Rep. Douglas Bruce, R-Colorado Spr

She thought they were some of the most brilliant, marvelous individuals that have ever walked the earth.

Rush Limbaugh pointed out a very obvious fact today: The liberal media cannot stand when they are held to the same standards as Republicans.

On the final day before voters hit the polls for Super Tuesday, Rush Limbaugh said the following:"Now, I think now, based on the way the campaign has shaken out, that there probably is a candidate on our side who does embody all three legs of the conservative stool, and that's Romney. The three stools or the three legs of the stool are national security/foreign policy, the social conservatives, and the fiscal conservatives. The social conservatives are the cultural people. The fiscal conservatives are the economic crowd: low taxes, smaller government, get out of the way." Now I've been following Rush for a while now and he hasn't really endorsed anyone. It was obvious for a while that he liked Fred Thompson, but he's obviously out of the picture. Today, however, he made the closest t

Rush Limbaugh must really get his kicks from trying to hurt our kids, especially if they are talking against anything that he believes in.Keith Olbermann talked about the shameful ways Limbaugh has disrespected our younger generation kids. Is he still on drugs?Olbermann shows video of Rush attacking a 18-year-old Inuit from Alaska who was sobbing through her congressional testimony, while describing Global Warming's disastrous effects on her community.Had this been a Democrat doing such a thing our Republicans would have had a field day destroying him for such action. How is it that this man continue to say what he pleases to and about our kids and gets away with it?
Today Rush said, "This is what the Republican candidate must do to Hillary during the campaign for the General Election" and he is right.This is a John Edwards ad, and it is brilliant. Enjoy, and pass it around.
On the October 15th episode of his radio show, Rush Limbaugh admitted that he blackmailed an unnamed journalist with threats of defamation in order to get the journalist to change a story.From Media Matters:Limbaugh said his target was a reporter, whose name he said he would not "mention," who was writing "a cover story on me coming out of one of the big news magazines, and it was going to totally mischaracterize me and what I do and how I do it." Limbaugh continued: "[W]e found out who was writing it and made a couple phone calls to the person writing it. And we said, 'You know what? We're going to find out where your kids go to school. We're going to find out who you knocked up in high school. We're going to find out what drugs you used. We're going to find out where you go to drink and do -- we're gonna find out how you paid for your house. We're going to do -- and we're going to do exact -- and we're going to say that, you know what? You are no different than Al Goldstein
In case you all missed it. Rush Limbaugh sold Harry Reid’s letter to Clear Channel requesting that Rush be censured for $2.1 Million on eBay. Rush then kept his word and matched the offer, making the total $4.2 Million. All the proceeds will go to the Marine Corps-Law Enforcement Foundation, a group that gives scholarship money to the children of service members either killed in war or in the course of public duty. Rush is on the board of directors of this great organization.Amazingly, Media Matters is still running with the fake “Phony Soldiers” story. These people clearly do not know when they have lost a battle. Rush took the Democratic Party nonsense in Congress and smashed them over the head with an anvil. It was simply brilliant.Now the only question is whether any of the Senators who signed the disgraceful letter to Rush Limbaugh, will match the donation as Rush requested. Let us see how patriotic they really are.Notably, Hillary Clinton was one of the people who s
Rush Limbaugh today demonstrated he may be the most politically savvy person in America. After weeks of Media Matters, Moveon.org, and the Democrats in Congress, taking Rush’s statements out of context and claiming he attacked the troops, Rush Limbaugh clearly has won this battle.Harry Reid sent a formal letter to Clear Channel Radio, signed by 41 Congressmen, asking that Rush Limbaugh apologize to the Troops. I guess according to Harry Reid, Rush should apologize for having his statements distorted? Anyway, what Rush did next was truly brilliant, and patriotic.The entire proceeds of this auction, the entire high bid, will be donated to The Marine Corps - Law Enforcement Foundation, a registered charity which provides financial assistance to the children of fallen Marines and federal law enforcement officers. Rush Limbaugh serves on the Board of this organization and has been active on its behalf. All costs of this auction will be paid by the seller... every dollar of your winning
Folks, I just got off the phone with Rush Limbaugh regarding this email from Moveon.org. I subscribe to them so I can stay one-step ahead of them. They cannot be allowed to get control of this Country. Below you can see how they distort the SCHIP program in order to seek political gain. They even used a 12-year-old to lie for them. They have total contempt for their own subscribers; it is obnoxious. God help us if Hillary Clinton is our next President.When our kids get sick, having health insurance can mean the difference between life and death. Next week, Congress will decide which fate awaits poor children across America, when they consider whether to override President Bush's veto of kids' health care.1To win, we only need 15 more Republicans to switch sides—and the best way to make that happen is with nationwide outcry. So, on Tuesday night, we'll gather at candlelight vigils for the millions of U.S. children who won't get health care if the Republicans block the bill.Can you
Mike's on the ball again! With all the things the U.S. Senate should be doing, from solving the problems of immigration to the War on Iraq, I can’t believe they are worried about what a talk show says. As a taxpayer, I can’t think of any greater waste of money. Rush Limbaugh, as a private citizen, has the right to say whatever he wants to under the First Amendment. It is not the business of government to infringe on the right of anyone to free speech.For more info on the situation head on over to boortz.com

Media Matters is now running a campaign to get Rush Limbaugh taken off the air. This is getting really scary since Hillary Clinton started Media Matters. If you go to their website, and type in your State, they will display the phone number of the President of your local radio station. Evidently, they want their Stalinist supporters, who never listen to his show, to demand he be fired.So, like we do with all Liberal grassroots campaigns on this blog, we let them do the work for us. I'm sure some poor intern spent hours creating this database to facilitate this garbage. Nevertheless, that makes our plan much better.Here is what we need you to do: 1) Click the link below; 2) find the email AND phone number of your local Radio President who broadcasts Rush Limbaugh; 5) Call the number and say you support Rush's right to speak on the airways and YOUR first Amendment Right to hear him; and 6) Copy the generic email below and send it to the President's email.Dear President X:I staunc
During his September 26th nationally syndicated radio broadcast, Rush Limbaugh stated that service members that oppose the current policy in Iraq and dared question the war effort were, in his view, "phony soldiers'. What the hell? To repeat...the men and women who have served in the travesty that is known as the Iraq War and who dare question the policy are simply "phony soldiers" (generals included).This coming from the man who squeezed out of serving when his time came in Vietnam due to a pilonidal cyst or a knee injury (take your pick). This from the man who just the other day was 'outraged' over the MoveOn controversy.This daily schtick brought to you by Rush, Hannity and the rest is a little tired. These millionaire radio and television hosts always seem to be aghast at anything that the Democrats do or say. The Republicans in Congress are no better when it comes to manufacturing outrage.It's past time for the so-called angry citizen to quit 'getting their daily marching ord
yep, the title says it all. you can hear it for yourself here (if you can stomach it). before that awful piece of singing racism, the drug-addled gasbag said of obama:Al Sharpton's real, Snoop Dogg is real, but Barack Obama is not real. He's just there to assuage white guilt. In other words, the only reason Obama's anywhere is because whites are willing to support him because they feel so guilty over slavery...So those of you white people out there who are supporting Barack Obama, you are racists...So your attempt to assuage all of your white guilt by supporting Obama is worthless because you're just -- you're just exhibiting racism because you know he's not a real black...The only thing that matters is that he's black and he sounds good and it allows you white racists to assuage your guilt. Well, there is white racism out there. Much of it is on the left where the plantation mentality still resides.

Yea, I don't have any audio right now, so I'm not exactly sure what this video exactly is all about. I've been led to believe that it involves a right-wing talking head requesting a young female of some sort to disrobe for photographs.
Seems like a winner to me.
Dear Rush,I'm shaking with anger now. Just shaking all over the place. Shaking like an epileptic during a Mary Hart telethon. Shaking like A-Rod during a big game moment. Shaking like, well, like me. How could you accuse me of faking my ailment for the sake of politics? You sir, are a horrible man. I shake because I am sick, and I'm sick because I shake. There is no act. I don't go home and build semiconductors and conduct heart surgery. I go home and mix martinis for James bond. To mock what I suffer from is just plain petty. And pathetic. And putrid. And plain mean. You should be ashamed.Some things in life are just sacred, you know? My disease is one of those things. You know what's not? Your mom's vagina. Yeah, I just took it there. I can shake it, but can you take it? If you're enough of a man (I heard about those Viagra pills), maybe you'd be willing to settle this mano-a-mano. Just you, me, and Tina Yothers behind the schoolyard after 3. We're gonna make you pay, bitch.H
The Landmark Legal Foundation nominated radio host Rush Limbaugh for the 2007 Nobel peace prize. President of the foundation and radio show host Mark Levin states:"Everyday he gives voice to the valuesof democratic governance, individual opportunity and the just, equalapplication of the rule of law -- and it is fitting that the NobelCommittee recognize the power of these ideals to build a truly peacefulworld for future generations."This nomination was announced on the same day ( yesterday ) Al Gore was nominated for his efforts for climate change.Now liberals are going to all of a sudden get all moral and self-righteous and say that the Nobel peace Prize shouldn't be given to drug addicts.Okay, I'll buy that. Just as soon as you libs set the same standards to former President Jimmy Carter.
