Limpbaugh apology makes FReep call him a C-word! UPDATE with MOAR

Limpbaugh apology makes FReep call him a C-word! UPDATE with MOAR

by qannabbos

That's right. Lot of c-words being flung these days, some worse than others. Panties and boxers and all manner of undergarments are being wadded and ruffled and twisted. But to the FReepers, they are being faced with the realization that their hero, Maha Rushbo, he with talent on loan from the G-word, is a coward.

no funny graphics here, because the quotes are so entertaining...

Et tu, Rush?
I feel like I've been stabbed in the heart by my best friend. Didn't think I'd ever see the Day Rush would loose his spine. Listener from 1990.

Instead, what (Rush) did was tell us to put the gun in our mouths and pull the trigger.

<...>

I feel like a Bush-supporter today. I had his back for two terms over the war in Iraq and Afghanistan, then bags us on illegal immigration and TARP.

A lot of us had Rush’s back over this, then he comes out with lame-assed apology over something he was right on.

<...>

UPDATE WITH MOAR:

I want to agree with you, I really do.

But, no one except those of us Rush (former) fans are going to read his apology. No one is going to parse his words except us, looking for the up-side, and his and our enemies, looking for and gleefully finding his weakness.

They find the weakness, and they exploit it. Rush loses, we lose, and the country we love loses.

The only part of this abject, humiliating apology you will EVER hear again on the MSM is the ass-kissing, tea-bagging part.

Rush today lost untold numbers of long-time listeners, true believers, and loyal conservatives. There is no brilliance, there is no up-side. Churchill said never, never, never give up. Today, so that his check did not drop 5%, Rush gave up.

Go ahead, find the “brilliance”.

Andrew Breitbart would not have apologized

Agree - despite his high opinion of himself, Rush has always been good about not making himself the story...always the issues.

That did not work out this time...

Pretty much his weakest, post-addiction moment...

Limbaugh's shit comes back to bite him in the ass. He has conditioned his idiotic supporters to think a certain way.

This is the reason he couldn't offer a sincere apology, but his idiotic followers still see it as capitulation. They are livid.

Limbaugh stepped in it big time, and the money factor made it a real mess.

Now excuse me while I...

"Instead, what (Rush) did was tell us to put the gun in our mouths and pull the trigger." It wouldn't have to be a gun I suppose.

"So that his check did not drop 5%, Rush gave up."

Shouldn't that tell his loyal fans that for Rush it's always been about the money? Dittoheads should realize what this means: it is not that he's a coward, it is that they have been dupes.

Women will never forgive him for calling them a slut and his followers will never forgive him for apologizing.

Sad, wounded people often want a big strong leader to identify with and to rally around so they don't feel so threatened. Problem is, people like Rush USE people like them, and when he ship sinks he's the first rat off and devil take the hindmost. They thought he cared. I just hope they don't take it out on anyone weaker.

Now he has to defend his ego macho talent on loan from GOD. Now his listeners will know he is only in it for the money. Hell he gave Elton John a million dollars to perform at his wedding. Elton donated the money to gay activists. Got to love that.

Among your quotations from FR:

The only part of this abject, humiliating apology you will EVER hear again on the MSM is the ass-kissing, tea-bagging part.


I don't know what this Freeper is getting at (or trying to get at).

There was no tea-bagging part of this pseudo-apology. A real tea-bagger would never have apologized.

really credit them with any rational thinking.

I mean, Limbaugh called a woman a "slut." This response is deranged:

They find the weakness, and they exploit it. Rush loses, we lose, and the country we love loses.
