Comments on: Rush Limbaugh: Republican Party Leader?

CBS Evening News: Democrats Think That Tying The Party To The Radio Host Is A Political Winner -- Is It?

[butterfly462]

The Democrats are not making anything out of the Rush story that Rush and the Republicans did not create all on their own. The comments from the white house were made after being asked questions by reporters regarding Rush. Those questions were answered. The Republicans comfirmed what the Democrats said about Rush being the Republican party leader. When elected Republican leaders who say anything negative about Ruah have to go back and appoligize to him, then the conclusion is that he holds sway over those officials. That is sad when a private citizen is given that kind of power. When Rush challenged President Obama to a debate, telling how great he is because of all his wealth and that he would pick up the President in his plane and how President Obama does not have to pay for his own aircraft(this is something all Presidents get and Rush didn't seem to mind Bush having the perks of being President) or whatever the h*ll that loud mouth said, shows me that he is arrogant beyond belief. He is disgusting and I don't care what everyone thinks he was trying to say. He says things that are not true, does not back them up with facts and thinks that his wealth and money make him a better American than those who don't have a penny to their name. He is no better of a person or more of an American than any other American. He is a traitor to this country.

He isn't the leader of the GOP...the liberal freaks in the media want to make a big deal out of nothing, Limbaugh bothers the liberal liars and the media just wants to fule something that bothers the libs. Limbaugh does make some good points and the truth always hurts and the libs amd media freaks know it. The libs voted for their paper god and he is failing and fast! I hope he fails in his economic BS! The lib media never tells the whole story, so what else is new! CBS and the rest of the liberal liars can go stick it!

But he's doing SUCH a good job of distracting people from the raid the liberals are making on government.....for that the liberals should be kissing his azz...wait...they already are...they've made him 100 times more important than he would be without all their smack.

Rush is as much the leader of the Republican Party as Chris "I'm tingly" Matthews perfectly presides over the Democrat's Party. Neither one is any thing more than a big mouthed, opinionated entertainer of their party.

Rush Limbaugh tussles over GOP leadership to promote hate with racism against Obama, is he actually religious?.

Didn't he realize that religion does not promotes hate and bigotry, perhaps he should team up with Al Queda!

He'd fit right in except he is 300lbs of brainless fat, but then again he does have the IQ of an onion so he would merge perfectly.

The problem is not Rush...he is merely an entertainer.

The problem stems from people that listen to him, AND take him seriously.

Same with Ann Coulter. And Sean Hannity. And Michael Savage.

And 'Dr' Laura.

People like 'Rush' are purely self-promoting entities that have NO REAL INTEREST in functioning as public servants; i.e., working on our Countrys' behalf.

Doesn't everybody understand this?

Rush, the Republican God, and they bow at his altar. Not one Republican in the senate or house has the stones to make their own decision without asking Rush first. Perfect face for the Republican party. A bloated, lying, dope-using, gas bag, without most of a human brain. Rush is the best thing that has happened to Democrats in decades.

RUSH IS A HATE MONGER...ANYONE SUPPORTING HIM IS PROBABLY BIGOTTED, PREJUDICE AND WE ALL NEED TO BE VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THEIR STATE OF MIND....

Anyone supporting him is PROBABLY bigotted prejudiced?....gawd you appear to be a little bigotted, prejudiced and we should be concerned for your state of mind.

If the libs can have their detractors then the right can have Limbaugh. He tells it like it is; THE WAY THINGS OUGHT TO BE. But he most certainly has the right to speak his mind just as any liberal. And he can be just as vocal as he wants

He loves it when people talk about him. He is thrilled with the attention. If he were non descript in his words then what would you guys have to bi#ch about? As long as you are ripping him, he will be there for another day. Which is fine with me, I happen to like him.

Right-wing reterds listen in awe
At this fat buffoon named Rush Limbaugh.

All rednecks, fascists, crackers, and racists
The preaching of this dummy they will not miss.

He?s big, fat, a real a$$hole
And has the Democrats, on quite a roll.

The Republican party is being led
By a big gasbag who is overfed.

Rush says he hopes Obama fails
In some nations he?d be in jail.

The RNC says no! no! no!
We?re not being led by Mr. Ego.

The Dems have become so full of glee
Big fat idiot embarrasses GOP.

The Whitehouse must be full of chuckles
At this pill-popping terd who drags his knuckles.

Rush Limbaugh is the best thing that ever happened to President Obama. El Rusbo, a college drop-out from Southeast Missouri State University, has never taken an economics 101 class but this doesn't stop "dittoheads" from seeing him as an expert. I am an independent who trends toward voting republican. However, a blowhard like limbaugh has turned me off to the party...particularly the in light of the way they cow to him. There are conservative voices that can make the case - George Will, David Brooks - but they are "intellectuals" who are scorned by the republican base. Better to listen to Rush than to read or think. I have a conservative friend who is unemployed. He is happy to cash those unemployment checks that were extended 13 weeks due to the stimulus package. Perhaps he should refuse that socialist welfare money and instead take comfort in a lecture from Rush about the evils of government hand-outs, the perfection of free markets, and the need for greater personal responsibilty.
