Colbert/Stewart do this to conservative opinion blowhards all the time, but I guess making fun of your ideological opponents is only acceptable when your target is conservative.
So Limbaugh's defense is that a Black person called him a negro.

According to Obama, Rush has strong influence. So much so that he can't get anything done.

LOL...your lawn...keep with your own posting...you stated WITH QUOTES that Rush called people stupid...show me that...

Facts are provable...you cannot provide nothing more than your opinion...that is not a fact.



You are right, however, Rush called NO ONE stupid, as you stated....he hangs up on stupidity all the time......

Again, nothing to back up your "stupid" claim....

Dear drama queen.

Rush Limbaugh is so powerful he by himself forces the Republican party to do his bidding. Obama's charisma and hands on approach to government can't overcome the power of this radio host.


In terms of DC power: Rush > Obama

It was a funny song. The LA Times was the source yet funny how they weren't attacked over it but Rush was. And he knew it would be like that, which is why he had the song in the first place.

The joke is on the media and liberals. He purposely aims to tweak you people. You all make it so obvious to know how you'll react to.something. Illustrating the absurd using absurdity is a part of his gig too. But it goes right over your heads.

Rush is an intellectual midget. (but I love the way he drives lefties nuts!)

obama would eat his lunch.

Now, place obama against Ted Cruz and you'll see obama feign a heart attack to get out of it!

Eh, I doubt it. Obama isn't as bright as everyone makes him out to be. In a battle and debate of ideas, against a true conservative like Rush, he'd lose. Real conservatism, not establishment phonies, will beat out liberalism any time in debate of ideas.

I stopped listening to Rush about three years ago when it became obvious to me that he was incapable of defending his arguments even against average callers.

Yet, he still scares the hell out of lefties.

Hilarious!

No.

He was pointing out the hypocrisy of the left......the leftie LA Times writer said "magic Negro" without backlash......the second that a conservative says the same thing, lefties become outraged!

Obama: It's Rush Limbaugh's Fault I Can't Get Anything Done! | Independent Journal Review
We are stuck with Obama, like it or not, but for anyone, the Pres. on down, to think Rush is that important is scary. He an entertainer, no more, no less, just like Chris Matthews, Hannity or a dozen others, just a little more followed maybe. To think a Pres would think and they say, it is someone like Rush's fault for anything indicates to me, what I have thought all the way along, this guy is about as thin skinned as a 95 year old woman. Talk about not being able to grow up and stop blaming everyone else. I guess we know what his grandma and granddaddy taught him?
