Is Rush Losing It?



Its an indication that our cause in supporting Cindy is not only just, but that we are truly breaking through to the mainstream, when Rush Limbaugh starts taking time out of his broadcast to bash me as a "whacko from Michigan." (In the same respect, when Fox News finally starting covering -- and disparaging -- the Downing Street Minutes, we knew that our message was getting across.) To be fair, Limbaugh also called my good friends Maxine Waters and Sheila Jackson Lee "whackos" as well, so at least I am in good company.

It really defies all notions of credibility for Rush Limbaugh to take Cindy's brave stand, and the incredible support she has received from all walks of life, and argue that illustrates the "crack up" of the Democrats. When people like Rush are confronted with genuine and unconstrained moral courage, there is nothing more they can do than grasp at political straws. That he gratuitously pulls Maxine, Sheila and me in to the mix, shows how desparate he and the right wing have become.

Warning: By linking to Rush Limbaugh's site, I am in no way, condoning it for future use, just letting you view first hand the lengths the right will go to trash Cindy.

[gratuitous]

1. Genuine gratuitous disclaimer

I have nothing to do with anything Rush Limbaugh does, particularly in regard to spewing forth the demon filth from his possessors.

[dweller]

2. lol

i know how you feel ...

3. I love that man more each day.

Before I started posting here I really hadn't heard much about him, but he's got more of a backbone than 90% of the Democratic party. Keep it up!

[rateyes]

13. Welcome to DU!

:hi:

[jillan]

19. Welcome to DU 'fighter'.

Conyers is a favorite subject around here.

He stands up for everything.

[marbuc]

4. I think they're all losing it

or at least desperately grasping at straws. They have all sunk to new lows, which means they are desperately trying to maintain position. The tide is turning, let's hope it continues.

[fortyfeetunder]

5. Yeah, he's losing it....

Did he miss his dose of Oxycontin today?

[magnetism]

18. Go Conyers, Go

Limpballs must be getting nervous if he has to continue to attack Conyers and Cindy.

[meow2u3]

6. Just wait till OxyRush refers to Conyers as a n!99er

on national radio. It's only a matter of time Rush McDruggie will let the n-word slip in a fit of fake rage. He's that racist.

[KT2000]

7. That's great!

Saw a bumpersticker
"I think
Therefore I don't
Listen to Limbaugh"

These people are really clowns.

[Erika]

8. The right wing extremists are all imploding

and about time.

[The Backlash Cometh]

9. This is simple. Rush makes over 23 million dollars to spew this stuff.

As far as paid pundits go, this man is the Queen of Whores. So, the fact that he's getting desperate is a good sign.

[OneTwentyoNine]

11. LOL,suppose the Premier group signed him to a long contract?

They'll be the ones taking in the ass while Pillboy still rakes it in. People even on the right are really,really tired of his same old shitck. It might have been fun and games back during the Lewinski days but hell that was 7-8 YEARS ago.

I used to listen all the time,listened for about 30 minutes the other day for the first time in months to see if he would attack DU and only ended up hearing three callers kick his ass all over the place.

Pillboy's show is just the same old,tired and boring shit it was a decade ago.

[elperromagico]

10. Conyers is wrong. Rush hasn't lost it.

He never had it.

[Totally Committed]

12. If John Conyers,

Maxine Waters and Sheila Jackson Lee are "whackos", count me in. I am a proud whacko, too!

[autorank]

14. A lot of people are losing it! Look at the American Legion..no protest

The right is flipping out!

[eauclaireliberal]

15. RE: Conyers: Is Rush Losing It?

Rush could end up being the next Dennis Miller.

Think about what a shill Miller is and that will explain it all.

[omega minimo]

16. The Wrong Wing can do nothing but smear dignity and integrity

Isn't it interesting watching them try?

Rush has always been a waster-- Malloy has recently played some tapes of Rush coming completely unhinged.

Yesterday Bush trotted out his Mothers Against Mothers Against the War-- what a sad pantomime.

A plastic-wrapped soccer mom is careening across the country to create another photo-op at Crawfraud. Where is Fellini when you need him?

The simplicity of Cindy's message renders all the convolutions of the spinmeisters ever more contrived and ineffective.

[IndyOp]

17. Rush can't even smear the ACLU anymore...

because their actions helped him keep his drug abuse legal/medical records sealed from the prying eyes of the public.

He *is* losing it!

:rofl:

Don't miss this animation about Rush from Eric Blumrich - you'll be humming for the rest of the day if you do...

[Eloriel]

20. Awm, c'mon, post the permalink, woudja? Only one extra click

Sheesh -- lotta baaaad habits running around this joint lately.

[StaggerLee]

21. Right on Mr. Conyers!

Limbaugh is an obvious knuckle dragger.

Methinks he is fitted with little horseshoes on the backs of his hands.

:evilgrin:

[mopinko]

22. kicking paine

to say sorry sometimes your threads sink. too bad the board doesn't rank reads instead of replies. cuz i always read your posts, say go john conyers, or whoever, to myself, but don't have much to reply with.
so. kick this.

[paineinthearse]

26. ouch!

Many people don't understand DU's "aging" system. Thanks for the kick, please remember to check the JC group often (see link in my signature line).

[Marnieworld]

23. kicking

Thank you.

[donkeyotay]

24. I've been thinking about Cindy

She just sounds real, and the spin machine on the right has been going around in such tight circles for so many years that they just can't handle the truth.

She lost her son... for a noble cause? What was that noble cause. Explain it to us not in propaganda slogans, but in real language... the way Cindy is speaking.

Yourrr Mr. Conyers is the same way. He's just so real. He's speaking his truth and it rings like a bell.

[Trevelyan]

27. Kick - I go to ConyersBlog almost every day and cut and pasted your link

to the Conyers forum but can't post there or to any groups, I received a message from DU since not a donar.

Rep. Conyers is steadfastly doing the work that will bring down not only the corrupt Bush Crime Family but the whole GOP, Skull and Bones, Bilderberger, BBCI, CIA MK-ULTRA and School of the Americas school for torture whatever the current name they are using and the "America gulag of torture prisons" negotiated by cheney with Halliburon Brown and Root beginning in 2000 before 911 and read, I think on Raw Story that Bushco is now torturing people on US Naval ships since either International Law doesn't apply or who is going to find out since they have murdered 4 American soldiers at Gitmo and all of the special forces who were ordered to stand down at Tora Bora while a Russian heliocopter took Osama or someone away.

Since Patrick Fitzgerald seems to be coming above the radar after 2 years of Grand Jury investigations with the PBS documentary, maybe we should mention him as often as possible since publicity seems to be a protection and don't forget Sibel Edmonds' site JUST A CITIZEN.COM and her petition to remove her gag order. I wonder if Fitzgerald with all the powers Citizen Spook said that Comey gave him and their thwarting putting a skull and bones classmate in Comey's position as Fitzgerald's boss according to Newsweek with someone else if Fitz has or can take a deposition from Ms. Edmonds?

Kick :kick: :dem:

28. The Keith Olberman quote nails Limbaugh perfectly.....

"Understand this about Limbaugh. He doesn't believe half the junk he spouts.I've met him, and had pleasant enough conversations with him, twice - at the 1980 World Series when he was still a mid-level baseball flunky with a funny name, and once in the mid 90s at ESPN when he was just beginning his campaign to get a toehold there. He is a quiet, almost colorless man who, if he could be guaranteed similar success in sportscasting, would sell out the sheep who follow his every word - and would do it before close of business today."

"But with that ESPN bid having gone up in flames just under two years ago, and sports forever closed off to him, he's gotten into what the novelist Robert Graves called a "Golden Predicament" - overwhelming success in a field he really had no intention of pursuing - and he has to keep churning this stuff out every day. And when you're just free associating to kill time and keep the ditto-heads happy, you sometimes drive right off the end of the pier."

I agree with Keith,I think the asswipe is tired of this same old shit everyday but he's trapped.His sports announcing career which he would probably love will NEVER be,the networks can't go with an announcer that a good 50% or MORE of its viewers HATE. Remember when he tried to get a gig on Monday Night Football? That was shot down by ABC very quickly. I certainly took the time to email them and let them know that I would NEVER watch again if that hate monger was put in the booth. If you read other articles about him he rarely goes outside his $7 Millon mansion--now about $26 million after buying all the land surround the place,perfering to stay in and watch TV and have some friends over. To bad Pillboy,thats what happens when you spew hate for 15 years. Have a nice life.....

29. Yep, Rush is losing it.

You said it Mr. Conyers.

:)

[Independent_Liberal]

30. Actually, now that I think about it...

He lost it a long time ago. He better get back on the drugs.

:)

[Humor_In_Cuneiform]

31. He never had it to lose

and yet he gets worse.

[GOPBasher]

32. Good points, Conyers! Well written! :-) n/t

[mitchum]

33. That bloviating cocksucker NEVER had it

[bribri16]

34. I'm glad for the link to Rush. There are a few things I want to say to

him.
