OxyRush today: "Anyone who serves their nation or community is a Fascist."



From MediaMatters: http://mediamatters.org/limbaughwire/2009/09/11#0031


President Obama was at the Pentagon today adressing the SERVICE men and women there on this eighth anniversary of the terrorist attack on the USA.
... (Limbaugh) said the manner in which Obama chose to remember 9/11 today "is an outrage" and an "insult" to the memory of the Americans who died eight years ago, and an insult to the passengers on Flight 93. Rush was appalled by the way Obama was commemorating 9/11: "This could be the most outrageous moment yet of the Obama presidency," said Rush. "Twisting 9/11 into a nationalist day of service to the state."

Naturally Limbaugh voiced faux outrage at the President's words. What Limbaugh didn't take into account was
the fact that this particular "day of service" was not a spur of the moment decision.

Rush is referring to a statute passed earlier this year -- a statute a majority of Republican Senators voted in favor of -- establishing a "September 11th National Day of Service and Remembrance." It's also curious that Rush didn't have a similar problem with President Bush, who routinely called on Americans to volunteer on 9/11 during his tenure. The spirit of Obama's message today is nothing new, and in our minds, nothing controversial. But Rush didn't agree.

I suggest reading the MediaMatters article at the link above for its other numerous "lowlights".

This clown Limbaugh must be on drugs. No one could be such a consistent asshole for so much of the time.

3. Jeebus..
That's pretty far out there..

What happened to "ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country?"

Especially concerning a national tragedy like 9/11....

6. Oh noes! "Politicizing" September !!11!1!1!
But the porcine face and squealing voice of the Republican Party must be acknowledged! I wonder if these comments will be carried and prominently replayed on all the evening news programs tonight? They haven't been shy in the past about re-airing Limbaugh's pronouncements when it served their purposes to do so. In this instance, Limbaugh looks like the complete ass he is; I suppose his pals in the popular media will cover up for him.

Gonna take a damn BIG fig leaf to cover that backside, if you know what I mean.

7. And he did this at the Pentagon?
A place that honors service to the country.
I am disgusted that anyone in the crowd would have listened to such tripe and not responded by throwing is sorry ass out the door.

8. It was Limbaugh denigrating what O said at the Pentagon.



It's a Pavlovian response from that cur.

10. He never leaves his radio cave in Florida.
Save to make speaches in front of Republicans. You see he does very poorly when lying in front of people who are smart enough to smell the obvious bullshit that come out of his mouth.

Now if you want to go off on a tangent? They play him on Armed Services Radio. That's a hoot.

9. Why does El Flusho hate America?
If anyone had said this during the * Dark Ages, Flush would've called for their head. But now that we've got a D in the White House, it's okay.

12. don't worry, Limpballs, nobody will ever make the mistake of thinking you'd serve your country
-- but I wonder what the troops subjected to your crap think of that? are they all fascists too? is their service something to sneer at and denigrate?

what a fucking pig--a cowardly, draft-dodging, greedy con artist pig. whoever said never to underestimate the stupidity of the American people (P. T. Barnum?) had you in mind, and you, like the gutter slime you are, have made a killing by exploiting the abysmal stupidity of the most cretinous among us.

Some people soar with the eagles, others scratch in the dirt with the turkeys--your lot just happens to be with the turkeys.

14. It's their nature to expect others to do anything worthwhile.




While they sit back and take the credit after the work is done.


Thank you for your selfless service.

18. But,
Does that fascism also apply to firemen, policemen, military? Under the rules of Rush - I guess it does.

Would be sweet irony if his house was burning down, and the firemen asked Rush first if he would allow fascists to put out the fire.....

19. "must be on drugs"?
:rofl: Oh, no. Not Rush. We all know how he feels about drug addicts, upstanding citizen that he is:

"And so if people are violating the law by doing drugs, they ought to be accused and they ought to be convicted and they ought to be sent up."

Please, someone, convict him and send him up.

26. Even my die hard GOP uncle has come to the conclusion that Rush is an "act"
As much as he is not an Obama fan, he's says there's no reason to criticize EVERYTHING SINGLE FREAKING THING the man does or says like Rush does. He used Rush's insistence that kids should have the "right" to be losers after Obama's gave the school speech as the comment that made him realize Rush is an act. (I told him Rush is a drug addict and he's lost his mind, of course my uncle thinks Rush knows exactly what he's doing....it's possible, he's making a fortune pandering to ignorant people).
