FREEDOM'S REAL ENEMY Is Rush Limbaugh NOT The Wisconsin Protesters

" On his radio show today, Rush Limbaugh declared that the Wisconsin protesters hate America and they have contempt for the American taxpayer. Limbaugh said, “Barack Obama just as angry of society inside as the protesters in Madison. He’s just as hateful of this society as the teachers carrying those signs.”


Here is the audio from Media Matters:

Limbaugh said, “Never again, ladies and gentleman that the Democrat Party cares about the middle class. Never again, can it be said that Obama is a historic president, or a president who is a force for good. It can not be said that Obama is a force for true reform, or a force for unity. He is the opposite. Again, it is real simple. If he meant it Monday when he said we must all live within our means, gotta get serious about our deficit, he would be encouraging people like Gov. Walker. Instead he is siding with people who would undermine the governor who is simply following the Wisconsin state constitution. You must have a balanced budget.”


Limbaugh continued by claiming that Obama and the protesters, specifically the teachers protesting in Wisconsin hate America, “Barack Obama just as angry of society inside as the protesters in Madison. He’s just as hateful of this society as the teachers carrying those signs. He is just as contemptible to the hard working taxpayers of this country as are the public sector unions. This exposes Obama for all to see. That’s what’s going on here. Don’t doubt me.”


There is plenty to doubt about Limbaugh’s description of the events in Wisconsin. Let’s begin with the idea that Gov. Walker is trying to balance the budget. As Rachel Maddow pointed out, Wisconsin had a budget surplus for the year, until Governor Walker did his best George W. Bush impression and turned the surplus into a deficit by handing out millions of dollars in corporate tax cuts. (It is important to remember that in the Republican mind tax cuts don’t count towards the deficit, because the tax cut fairy comes down out of the sky and makes tax cuts pay for themselves).

1. Maybe they had a budget surplus with the federal tax dollars that provided about a 3rd of state fund

But that money is going to disappear.

I bet that had more to do with the deficit than anything else. Sounds like Rachel didn't explain this well.

2. I hope that EVERY protestor at the rally understands EXACTLY

which local advertisers in WI are PAYING for Limbaugh to be on the air in their communities. The KEY to fighting back against Limbaugh is to let the LOCAL advertisers know that they will pay a price for advertising on Pigboy's show.
