Rush's rant: Carters nobel prize is a fraud, "How can he sleep at night?"

[quinnox]

I was listening to a replay of Rush Limbaugh's Friday show, and he went on a rant against Fomer President Carter.

He said the only reason Carter got the nobel prize was because he went around the world smearing Bush and the leftists loved him for it. He then said Carter nowadays doesn't amount to nothing and is just looking for publicity whenever he speaks out.

He continued to say Carter should be looked upon like France and other countries that don't agree with Bush and that are anti-American.

He even said Carter was "excrement".

Rush seemed livid about Carter, this was like a 5 minute rant.

Damn, I was just disgusted listening as it went on and on.

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

1. to freepers

Carter and any Democrat are scum. I've heard these lies before. My comment to posters on another board was, "Oh yeah, I'm sure that working on the Habitat for Humanity houses was just for publicity. And how many of those houses have YOU worked on?"

[Hamlette]

37. I'm surprised you've not heard the "Carter is scum" line before

the freeper I know HATES Carter more than any other dem except Clinton. I never understood the hatred of Carter. When I asked her (it was the LAST time we went to lunch together) she just repeated "Carter is scum" at the top of her lungs. She said he was responsible for the taking of the hostages in Iraq and said she'd send me proof. She never did.

2. Are you kidding? That is what the drugs were for. I'm sure he's

still taking something.

[Fenris]

3. In a hundred years, how many people will remember Rush Limbaugh?

Rush is just jealous. Carter is a great leader, a tireless advocate for peace, and Rush is just a right-wing AM radio blowhard with the intellectual prowess of a low-level Soviet bureaucrat.

[Old and In the Way]

21. Sorry, need to correct the record.....

"Rush is just a right-wing chickenhawk AM radio blowhard with the intellectual prowess of a low-level Soviet bureaucrat.

Carter served....he didn't.

[Fenris]

34. Carter had a decorated career in the Navy.

He puts most 20th Century Presidents (with notable exceptions) to shame.

[donco6]

47. Wasn't his degree in nuclear physics?

And I'll bet he can even pronounce it correctly.

[Doctor Panacea]

55. Pronouncing "nuclear"

I am sorry to say that it is one of those perverse ironies that Jimmy Carter, one of our most decent presidents ever, and the Chimp have one thing in common: both have trouble with the word "nuclear".

I refuse to listen to Chimp gibberish, but apparently he says "nuck-yuhlar".

Carter always said "new-key-er" (dropping the 'l'), except on occasions when you could tell he was carefully pronouncing it to get it right.

But the right keeps beating on Carter because he was a really decent man and has continued to demonstrate that. The right, consisting of carbuncles on the ass of humanity like Rush Limbaugh and his idiot brother, want to keep hatred stirred up.

[Old and In the Way]

57. Welcome ABoard Dr!

Got anything to cure RW hypocrisy? :-)

Why that 4-timing, narcotics junkie gets any airtime at all, simply amazes me. But one thing you know, he's not making $20MM/year to tell the truth. Whatever Rush says, I know the opposite is true.....

[Roland99]

4. Guess he needs a fix

[Snotcicles]

5. Rush hates Carter not only because of that honor, but he was

able to produce an offspring.

[hector459]

36. Remember, Rush is the poster druggie for the RW.

He is a true reflection of what we are dealing with.

[midwestblue2]

6. Sleep comes easy

to those with a clear conscious. Not needing a handful of pills to achieve slumber also helps...

[Sanity Claws]

13. Welcome to DU!

:hi:

[wildeyed]

7. Bashing Carter won't go over too well with the moderate repugs.

My in-laws are repub, but they put many hours and $$$'s into Habitat, as do all their repub brothers and sisters.

[FreedomAngel82]

16. Right

On one Christian board I frequent there was once a thread on the greatest US president and Carter was listed as a choice (this board is mostly right-wing) and someone said Carter because of all the work he does and he's a true Christian. I was surprised really.

[Kerrytravelers]

8. Isn't it great how the freepers just hate and hate and hate while we

just look to make the world a more peaceful and equitable place.

Really shows everyone's true colors doesn't it?

[seriousstan]

9. I think he is referencing Norwegian Nobel Committee member Gunnar Berge

Although Mr Carter has not openly criticised President George W Bush's policy on Iraq, Friday's award "should be interpreted as a criticism of the line that the current administration has taken," said Committee chairman Gunnar Berge.

"It's a kick in the leg to all that follow the same line as the United States," Mr Berge said.

[mbee]

10. He seems to think being a fraud is something to be

proud of!

[deutsey]

11. I really hate myself for saying this but

I honestly look forward to the day Rush Limbaugh dies.

God help me, but I actually yearn for the death of another human being.

:evilfrown:

[Snotcicles]

14. Leave God out of this. I think when shitbag lost his hearing

God was playing a cruel and ironic joke on the rest of us.

[deutsey]

24. Still, the sense of the divine I have doesn't promote death

and I fall short in wishing death to another human being.

[R. A. Fuqua]

26. would have been a better

joke if he had of lost his ability to speak.

[tsuki]

12. I still think Rush is losing listeners. He has the elements of the fringe

but his drug pass and his running to the ACLU has hurt him in Florida among construction workers. It has been a couple of years since I have walked on a job site with his show blaring.

[FreedomAngel82]

15. LOL!

What a joke! He obviously doesn't know about what he does with the Carter Center. What a dumbass!

[patricia92243]

17. How can he sleep at night? coming from Rush Limbo's mouth would be funny

if it were not so sickening.

[MissWaverly]

18. do I see another preemptive strike

Could it be that Rush is trying an early smear on Jimmy Carter, because of what's going to come out in the commission investigation.
Hmm! They trying to do damage control a little early. A little nervous, perhaps, of course we all heard Fraudwell's version, nothing to see here, move along.

[FreedomAngel82]

27. Could be

One can hope there's something.

[MissWaverly]

29. You know this election fraud has to break

It's too big, there's no way they can't keep the lid on everywhere so they working on their usual information campaign so that when it
breaks people won't believe it. It didn't work with AARP and it's not going to work with Jimmy Carter, he's a former president of the United States. and a lot of people, including me, admire him.

[mopinko]

31. ding ding ding

we have a winner! perfectly timed to take the steam out of monday's hearing.
(in case you missed it -http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=203x358193)

[MissWaverly]

33. Thanks, I hope it get the attention it deserves

Let's keep the heat on.

[mopinko]

38. it's gonna get uglier, too.

i shiver to think what is going to happen when the truth really starts to seep out. people need to see through this kind of crap to the talking points memos behind it. wake up sheeple.

[MissWaverly]

41. I think this is the eye of the storm

I don't think they are acting as aggresively as they want to counter
this, there's the flap over the AARP smear, the 3 dems getting kicked out of a town meeting because of their bumper stickers, and
the Terry Schiavo debacle, and the president saying the bonds for
ssn were worthless. They would like to come down hard but right now the spotlights on them. And we all know they don't want attention while they do their dirty deeds.

[mopinko]

50. along those lines

is the miracle that a special prosecute was appointed to look into the cuyahoga county recount and one itty bitty paper in the whole fucking country bothers to mention it. can you imagine such a thing in the days of bill.
thom hartman was ranting about it. what more proof do we need.

[MissWaverly]

51. I read on another thread if fraud is proved

but that there is no ties to Bush, he could not be impeached, but he would have to resign. I think that they will uncover fraud but my best guess is that the perpetrator will be unknown. I know that the machines here in Maryland defaulted to Bush, but who was responsible.
Baltimore City and the entire state of Maryland is overwhelmingly democratic. Although the governor is republican, the mayor of Baltimore is a democrat and the State House is overwhelmingly democratic so how did we have rigged machines defaulting to Bush in
Baltimore, MD. The registered democrats outnumber the registered republicans by almost 2 to 1 here in Maryland.

[kansasblue]

19. Rush

I heard part of that show when he was dogging Carter. I don't normally listen to him but I thought it would be good to listen to the other side every now and then. And Frankly he is really preaching to the far right. It really can't be doing much good for the Republicans. On that same show some lady called in to ask advice on how to handle her friends fighting for equal pay with men. He told her that the 'libs' were just using the issue to get everyone worked up. He told her to tell her lady friends that the problem isn't that women make too little, the problem is that the men should make more money so that they could afford to stay home or go to the country club.

It just seemed like it should have turned off so many women. What is this guy's base anyway?

[Ladyhawk]

40. "What is this guy's base anyway?"

People like my mother, my brother, my uncle and much of the rest of my family are Rush Limbaugh's "base." He appeals to their baser instincts.

When the OxyContin scandal came out, my mother said that Rush Limbaugh's problems helped her to understand me. :WTF:

Yeah, Mom, I doctor-shopped and coerced my maid into procuring OxyContin. Not.

[Bouncy Ball]

45. HA!!! I know bush-voting women he pissed off with THOSE comments!

:rofl:

[cornermouse]

20. So says the drug addict.

I'm sorry, but he's one of them that I avoid listening to. Too much contact with all that anger and hate can be corrosive.

[spanone]

22. Hey rush, once more. Shut the fuck up you moran.

[Cha]

23. How can oxyrush SLEEP

at night or look at his butt ugly self in the MIRROR?!

[R. A. Fuqua]

25. "excrement"?

Good Lord that man is so out of line. I haven't heard him for years THANKFULLY.

Do yourself a favor--don't ever listen to him. I mean it. It is hazardous to the health.

[Hippo_Tron]

28. Aww Rush, are you jealous that they don't have a Nobel Prize for fascism?

Too bad for you...

[karynnj]

30. Maybe Norway can further play with the RW nuts by

awarding the peace prize to Clinton for the work he did in the Balkans, then they can give one to Kerry (more far fetched, but a case could be made)- for Vietnam (both the anti-war testimony and leadership and working towards reconciliation via the POW/MIA work),and working to stop the illegal support of the Contras and starting the unraveling of BCCI. (Some winners have done less)

If only to cause Bush's and Rush's head to explode, Norway might find these candidates intriguing. I can't decide which would be the most annoying to the RW ? Any opinions?

[gademocrat7]

32. President Carter still teaches Sunday School

In Plains, GA. He has worked tirelessly for the poor. He is above reproach. Limbaugh should be ashamed of himself. But we all know he has no shame.

[mourningdove92]

35. This is why

Carter: Rich States 'Don't Give a Damn' About Poor


ATLANTA (Reuters) - Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter on Thursday harshly criticized his own country and other wealthy states for being stingy with foreign aid and said in rich countries "We really don't give a damn."
<snip>

"Unfortunately, in the rich countries like ours, we really don't give a damn," said Carter, who was president from 1977 to 1981 and who won a Nobel Peace Prize in 2002.

He especially criticized the United States for failing to follow other Western nations which are increasing spending.

Although America tops the foreign aid donor list in dollar terms, it falls behind the Netherlands, Canada and many other smaller, less affluent nations when contributions are measured on a per capita basis.

U.S. foreign aid is approximately 0.18 percent of gross national product, the lowest of any G-7 nation and far below a 0.7 percent United Nations target that 22 of the world's developed nations have agreed to meet by 2015.

http://www.reuters.com/newsArticle.jhtml?type=topNews&storyID=8186378

The right wingers over at another board (religious) are throwing a very un-Christian fit about it. Calling President Carter all kinds of names.

[frankly_fedup2]

39. I can tell you why they hate Carter so much, and it is because Carter . .

will say every time he is on TV that he is tired of Reagan getting credit for ending the Cold War because it was his work that ended the Cold War as well as the peace treaty in the middle east. These accomplishments are what got him the Nobel Peace Prize. Don't you remember how bad they were bashing Carter for even getting one? Well this is why.

President Carter did not only deal with the terrorists kidnappers in Iran, who were "coincidentally" released on the day Reagan was sworn into office, but a lot of his accomplishments were stolen by the Reagan Administration.

Whatever they want to believe. Just nod your head and look at them like they are stupid. This gets to them more than anything.

[donco6]

48. He's exactly right. eom

[ZinZen]

42. He's on drugs again..

[Soup Bean]

43. President Carter is a hero.

I don't think anyone should dignify Rush with any remarks whatsoever. Rush is there with Ann Coulter and all the rest of the people who have hurt America.

[Bouncy Ball]

44. What is his deal?

Is it jealousy? Insanity? Continued addiction to prescription painkillers?

Seriously, I want to know what this person's major malfunction is.

Does he just have nothing else to bitch about nowdays?

CARTER? Are you fucking KIDDING me with that?

[MissWaverly]

46. Bouncy I think that his incentive is cold, hard cash

I think that Limbaugh and the Faux brains get ideas and suggestions from the same place that Gannon did.

[bushcrab]

49. Rush had to have surgery to FORCE his own ears to listen

to his bullshit. Enuf said!

[applegrove]

52. Obviously All Democratic Leaders have to be destroyed. Especially

if they have integrity, will be believed, and are looking into the electoral intimidations that took place.

This is so that none of the freepers listen to carter.

[The Blue Knight]

53. Hate corrodes the vessel that carries it.

[applegrove]

58. Not fast enough often... I still say they are fuming at Carter because

he 're-framed' Bush's trip to the Vatican. The whole point of keeping Carter away was so that the light within Carter would not make Bush (Cardinal Cesspuglio)look bad. Bush tried everything.. making out with Laura, taking advice from people other than god (his father and clinton) on the plane over. Nothing worked!

Carter must pay for his obvious religious devotion & his practice of walking the walk.

[brokensymmetry]

54. Carter was the ONLY president

who tried to actually do something about our energy problems.

Too bad that we as a country decided not to listen, such that we're now heading into a bad situation with the current misadministration.

[New Dealer]

56. The only person who doesn't deserve the prize is Kissinger n/t

[DefenseLawyer]

59. Caught a few minutes of Rush

the other day, he was defending Tom Delay and he seemed like he was about to come unglued (the desperation in his voice actually was what made me pause on the channel). He was yelling, screaming even, and talking really fast about Harry Reid and the liberal media blah blah blah. His regular crap, but just his manner of speaking seemed like he was losing it. Obviously I am not a regular listener, but I don't ever remember hearing panic in his voice the way I did that day. It ain't easy being a college drop-out disc jockey I guess.
