12. He did it very carefully--he was referring to the term "spadework" |
|
and saying something about Obama working with the "hoe"--it was all couched as a little comedy routine based on the Clinton camp's racially-charged statements.

66. The reason Don Imus caught hell for it |
|
is because of the racial component of his statement. Since Hillary Clinton is white there isn't anyone who will race to her aid from a slur like Limbaugh's. Moreover, his listeners seem to like this kind of crap, so there won't be any motivation for his producers to fire him.

22. He's actually a mechanized farm implement. |
|
He's one of two items or maybe both. The first is a slurry wagon which is filled with slurry from manure ponds and then sprayed over a field, the second is a solid manure spreader which is a wagon full of manure that has cogs and a conveyor system which then spreads the manure over a field.
Either way he is full of shit and he slings it on everyone.

27. Plausible Deniability taken to its max |

The Repukes TELL these commentators what to say, and pay them millions, under one condition: that they are allowed to disavow any actions or statements by the commentators when they cross the line. And they cross the line all the damned time, and the GOP just says "what? We didn't do it."
You don't really think Limpballs writes his own material, do you? He's got a whole staff doing that -- he's too high or too lazy or something to really do too much work.

28. I was wondering if anyone else had heard that revolting crap. |
|
Once or twice a year (because I cannot tolerate any more without counseling and medication) I drop by his radio program to get a preview of what my ass-wipe BIL will be spewing at the next family gathering.
I couldn't believe what I was hearing. I thought to myself "Is he like this all the time and if so WHY is there not more scrutiny and outrage"?
I still want to know. I realize we EXPECT him to be a racist, misogynistic pig but this just seems beyond the pale.

Edited on Wed Jan-16-08 11:28 PM by Leopolds Ghost
I actually tried once and got shot down for it. I brought up the "get the bone out of your nose" comment Rush made. People on DU actually said I was "minimizing the Imus scandal" by comparing it to Rush and Glenn Beck, who they EXPECTED to be ABLE to say such things because "he's a dispicable republican". And thus it was within the realm of acceptability because he was acting out a role in character. Many Democrats even relish the idee of him as a foil. Imus on the other hand was "vulnerable" and a "traitor" so we went at it hammer and tongs with him here on DU, dozens of posts.

Didn't Sen. Clinton use a similar "spade work" remark on some NBC/MSNBC show while referring to Obama? Of course, Sen. Clinton didn't use the word "ho(e)."

Come on Flush, tell us all about the last little "vacation" you ILLEGALLY took to the Dominican Republic...you remember, the trip where you were busted with an illegal prescription of Viagra on your way back into the States. And speaking of illegal prescriptions, how's the Oxy treating you these days? Is Dr. Feel-good able to keep your "back pains" at a "manageable" level? Still threatening and extorting the domestic help into playing drug pimp for you? Who's illegally procuring for you these days, the gardener? And how about those medical records indicating "doctor shopping?" We certainly haven't heard anything about those lately, now have we? You never did surrender those, now did you?
Consider the source. The big, fat, bigoted, hateful, twisted, lying source.

72. A concerted effort to kill Liberals undetected |
|
I listen to him occasionally as I drive about the hamlets and hills, just to keep my finger on the pulse of the undead. I hear him say something so SHOCKING, so uncompromisingly BIZARRE and UNACCEPTABLE ( to those sane among us) that I scream "NO!!!!" and attempt to change the channel despite the fact that I am in a dangerous merge and about to caroom into Jersey barriers and disintegrate.
I am unconsciously choosing the Jersey barriers and annihilation rather than listening to one more second of Limbaugh.
Fortunately, an even greater primordial need to survive will supplant the Limbaugh Liberal Death Wish, and I live to see another dawn as I stab "OFF" rather than "tune".
