Genzo you wrote: “Rush hateful?  Read the comments you’ve been making You guys take hate to a disturbing new level.”

Some us have been most unkind when speaking of the gentle soul who is the hero to dittoheads. However, some are suggesting that your humble hero gets a reality check from time to time.

Rush hateful?  Read the comments you’ve been making You guys take hate to a disturbing new level.

The Govt. is killing the poor with too much food! You must mean tatter tots, canned beans, white bread and meat that resembles the bottom of an old boot. We know who subsidizes your food in exclusive Palm Beach. Lunch meetings with your staff of attorneys (keeping them busy these days)with lots of generous tax write-offs for “business,” and the minions, slaves and brown-skinned people who load your plate up at Dinner at exclusive restaurants on “The Avenue.” You are dripping with testicular fortitude! All because you have lots of cash and a swelling portfolio.  Your dieting days are replete with hundreds/thousands of “pain” pills and speed. Mind your own business and leave the struggling world to work 3 jobs with NO doctor’s visits or scripts for their miserable pain & empty stomachs. Besides, all your photographs (front-page newspapers mostly) show a fleshy, overfed radio screamer.  P.S.:  Why not donate $1.5 Million to a charity? Do something decent before the rug is pulled out and you go the way of the steamship.

i read neither this article nor the comments in regard to this article. the subject of this article has no more credibility than the bombed blondeshell ann coulter. i don’t care if the lying dope fiend pushed me from the path of a speeding car, he has no credibility. he’s a liar and a drug addict. he is a pandering dissembler. he has never voiced an original thought as he as never experienced an original thought. he says what he is paid to say. more telling is who would pay him to say than anything he might say.

Hey RUSH! Why don’t u practice what you preach? Lets see you fast for one day. Bet u can’t. If what he says is true, his salary needs to be cut, so he won’t eat so much. Watch him say his flab is just water-weight.

“Slaughter the cow to get the butter” (WTF)!  What an idiot! It’s this destructive mentality by most republicans that is so harmful to the rest of the public.

Whether this was a fraudian slip, or this “turtlehead” simply doesn’t know any better, each time he opens his mouth, the ozones tends to deplete even further.

Why play into Limbaugh’s porky paws (hooves?) by getting pissed off at him? Like Ann Coulter, Limbaugh is a one-note (bad) entertainer and Rove-programmed shill who couldn’t recognize a serious idea if it came up and bit him on his double-wide ass.

He isn’t offering an “argument” here that merits a serious rebuttal; he’s offering the usual Limbaugh shtick, which consists of faithfully parroting Bushite squawking points for a dim-bulb dittohead audience that gobbles up every word from whale-gut Pillhead’s mouth as if it were one of those supersized Mickey D meals he himself must consume at least six times a day.

Gotta admit it’s ironic listening to someone lecturing the poor on their obesity problem when for the last 20 years the lecturer himself probably hasn’t been able to see his own dick when he pees.

If anyone ever writes the book,
“The 10 People That Really Destroyed the U.S.A.”
This slob should the first chapter.
This fat low life has pumped racism ,sexism, poison , fear,hate and discontent into the airways of the U.S. for decades.
Yet he never gets the blame he deserves.

Limbaugh is a live waddling example of the corruption in the legal system. He was caught in possession of thousands of oxycontin. If this had happened to anyone that was a non multi millionaire they would go away for a long long time. We can only hope he will go off the pork and back to the drugs. Or maybe the pork will work?

Response to Comment #20940 by Nat:
Nat, are you serious?  Rush’s comments were meant to be satirical?  Then maybe what I’ve suspected for some time is true: Rush is really a closet liberal who makes the extreme right wing look like idiots.  I’m almost positive the same is true of Ann Coulter.

I’ve lived in the ‘ghetto’ of a couple of cities.  Oak Street Market was the only thing in true walking distance.  They didn’t carry a single item that is not pre-packaged and processed.  You couldn’t fresh food in the neighborhood.

I wasn’t as bad off as many in my area.  However, I noticed a trend amongst those far more poor than I.  When a poor person happens to have a few dollars in his or her pocket, what’s the available option to treat oneself or the kids?  The fast food value menu.  Five dollars could score double cheeseburgers for a family of four.

Bush ass kisser along with 90% of the other MSM MEDIA Repugs love and thrive on lies and slime spouted by scumbags like RUSH HANNITY AND BONE-ASS COLTER THE HORSES ASS.

Rush should be killed, gutted, spit-roasted and put on a platter for poor people to eat. That would make them lose weight fast…

Oh, I’m joking, joking! Just like Rush was, eh Nat? You cult members are so easy to nauseate…

There is something to be said regarding Rush being “not literal” or perhaps “joking.” But not exactly that. He and his kind simply make this stuff up to get their audiences riled.

They exagerate and pontificate, stretch the truth, take things out of context, rarely fact-check, back each other up, etc., etc.

The problem is, Nat, is that many people do take them seriously. The clowns on FOX are just like him. Coulter is like him. And they are all part of the GOP. How many times do you see those imbeciles on FOX interview Bush and Cheney? Why does that happen?

Rush is part of the GOP and friend of Bush.

“Rush is a great American,” the president said of the beleaguered host, who has championed the conservative movement for decades. “I am confident he can overcome any obstacles he faces right now.”

Rush speaks before Conservative functions and Republican Conventions all the time.

That is what is so sad and so scary. If Rush is so obviously stupid, what does that say about those who think he is a “great American?”

A long time ago, I was briefly on welfare. The government never gave me food....I got food stamps to be used at any grocery store.

It’s really hard to buy enough food on food stamps. I found I was eating more pasta and bread because it’s filling for very little money. Rice and sausage casserole was a regular dinner choice. Fresh produce and quality protein is relatively expensive. That’s why poor people are fat. They can’t afford quality food!

Food stamps provide so little to feed a family that they have to be stretched (you all ought to try it for a month as I have done). Toward the end of the month come the lines at the food shelves where Kraft unloads tons of their Dinners. Lots of macaroni and potatoes are the dietary staples, filling the belly with empty calories. No fruits or veggies or high quality protein. THAT is what makes poor mothers fat.

Golly, I knew Rush was a drug addict, but I didn’t realize that he was poor.

Ronald Reagan used to say that welfare mothers were driving Cadillacs, and he got ELECTED on that kind of platform, so WATCH YOUR BACKS!!!!
Oh yeah, RUSH: that’s rich coming from a fat ass psycho bastard like you. You couldn’t survive 2 days on what most of the world subsists om. Go fuck yourself!

He may say he is joking but look at the first
sentence

“I think you might then say that the obesity crisis could be the fault of government, liberal government”.
He constantly abuses liberals.
This was no “joke”.
This man does not poor,fat, anybody of color, liberals etc.... and the list goes on.

What excuse does he give for his own weight problem?

Nat
“You guys don’t know a joke when you hear one?” That or ‘I was just funning.’ is always used when Rush gets caught!

re 20940 Nat

oh what a whimsical bard, that Rush!

joking about obese poor people ....

soon it’ll be about jokes about prescription drug addicts ... oh wait, prescription drug abuse isn’t funny ....

You guys don’t know a joke when you hear one? I heard him say this on his show and it was said satirically.

The fact that this was reported on this website as though it were meant literally just shows how little research you do into anything.  Listen to the show at least.  You guys are so easy to rile. It’s like kicking a bee hive.

A recent study has shown that Southern Evangelicals are fatter than other religious folk. Is this also the fault of the liberal food programs? Have we driven the Evangelicals to Angle Food Cake to combat our humanist approach to solving problems of poverty?

“Personality Disorders are disorders based on pervasive, inflexible, and maladaptive patterns of relating to and perceiving the environment and themselves.

A mental illness is a persistent abnormal emotional, thought or behavioral process that causes an individual and/or the community problems.

The most important thing to remember is that these illnesses are treatable.”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I would add that as a nation, we learn to stop promoting the disordered to celebrity and require that our politicians seek independent therapy before seeking office.

Well Rush if only poor people are fat, then what happened to you?  Maybe all of the Viagra had an adverse affect.  Instead of making his unit grow, it worked on his gut....  Sounds like he needs to work out more, like on another continent

The Food Industry is making the poor fat. Subsidized industrial farming practices, the misleading food pyramid, corporate greed that does not consider nutrition or health, the advent of the automobile and our dependency on it (vs. bicycles or sidewalks) , the lessening of support for school physical education and sports programs, constant advertising of fast junk food all play a part in the obesity epidemic.

I hear oxycotin is a great appetite suppressant. Perhaps we can give poor kids that hillbilly heroine Limbaugh loves so much so they can shed a few pounds. Worked for pigman himself.

he says Bush is killing poor people by giving them too much food. So, then, is the Bush admin. the liberal government? Get a life, idiot.

So, what’s his excuse for being obese? Is he taking food stamps? What a pure idiot. I think he’s worse than Coulter, he is TOTALLY stupid, whereas she’s just ignorant.

Sometime this century he will be regarded as badly as Father Coughlin of radio fame who was famous prior to WWII.

He truly is “hate filled hot air.”

He had a few words right -

America - didn’t teach them to fish.... gave them. There are so many who don’t know how to live any way but to take. There’s also a lot of people out there who haven’t the slightest idea “what part of the cow the butter comes from.”

I know some of this creep’s idiot followers, and they’re VERY hardcore Rush. What he says to them is taken in the way the Bible is taken by the Christian. Everything is put aside when it’s RUSH time.

If we turn off radio and television and actually DO something, we all will be healthier in body and mind.

DOH! StuartH!
sorry ‘bout that <:(

Hasn’t obesity risen parallel with poverty since 2000? Throwing poor people off of welfare into the sub-living-wage meatgrinder has spurred the problems on. High quality nutrition costs money, takes multiple ingredients and requires time-consuming preparation that poor people, particularly those scrambling through multiple low-wage, part time jobs, don’t have.
SteveH talks of Commodity Foods, one of Mom’s rules for shopping is to stay to the edges of the Supermarket, that’s where the real food is, Produce, Meat, Bakery...The stuff in the center aisles is all high markup, high sugar crap with expiration dates years from now (’cause it doesn’t spoil)
BTW, UNICEF does feed people, a hell of a lot more people than Rush. And it does make some of us feel good about the UN.

>> But what blows me away is how large his listening audience is

It really is not that large. Remember his TV show.
Do you think that was canceled cause he was so popular ?

This myth about him having a large audience was something he and his robots perpetuated. What else would you expect them to say.

And his message is just what many of the elites in this country want to see disseminated so they also
do their best to promote the idea he has a big audience.

Little Mr “LIMPBALLS"should have to go serve just a couple of weeks on the front lines in Iraq....then maybe he would hope for “WE” patriots to help get him and all the others over there back home....I think he would welcome and “ASS-CYST"of any kind....

It’s obvious to anyone with even a light education in nutrition and market economics (that was a good one, Stuart H.) that this chump is blowing out his ass for political (read = $$$)
But what blows me away is how large his listening audience is, and how many supposedly intelligent adults actually believe him. What does that say about the average American?  Scary.

We need to get creeps like Rush in Jail and off the airways.

They should drug test this bastard because he’s obviously “using” again.  What’s his excuse for being an obese, oxycotin taking fatass piece of shit?  Someone should put this asswipe out of his misery.

I’m sure glad the liberal government doesn’t subsidize the pharmaceutical or tobacco or alcohol industry. That would really set him off.

HA.HA.HA. Rush you fat F*&# why don’t you try to live the life of a pauper instead of pretending to. Who listens to this guy? War is Peace, Ignorance is Power and yes virginia there is a Santa Clause. Ha. Ha. Ha. Rush is an idiot

When you see all the starving faces of children in American and this fat screwed up boils on the ass republicans talks about feeding the hungry, he should be locked away on bread and water forever.

Yes Rush is a PIG!!! and so are all that listen to and sponsor him. Government assistance used to be excess government commodities, healthy food that required preperation.  All that changed in the early seventies because BIG BUSINESS wasn’t getting their cut.  Now the poor have prepared, convenience food.  And we let our excess rot and throw it away.

Gee, I didn’t think Rush Limbaugh was poor. How did he get so fat?

Is the fat bastard getting food stamps or is he just blowing up from inhaling his own hot air?

I’d like to counter with…

The Government Is Killing The Rich....With Too Many Tax Cuts!

Hear me out...all these tax cuts are giving the rich more money to go out and conduct themselves in ways that are excessive and even sometimes hedonistic.

Giving the wealthy too much monetarial resources can lead in some cases in self-destructive behavior. An example of this would be drug addiction to, let’s say, cocaine or heroin or OXYCONTIN, which, if overdone, will lead to premature death.

That argument might actually have more merit than Limbaugh’s, though my intent was to be silly. Unfortunately, he’s being serious.

Limbaugh is an idiot, but he has a point in a way.  Food stamps should be restricted use so they can’t be used to purchase junk food. They should only be good be for fruits, vegetables, meat, milk, cheese, bread, and other nutritional essentials growing kids need and nothing else.

No cookies, candy, ice cream, soda, donuts, etc should be permitted using government assistance.  I’ll bet this actually would go a long way towards curbing obesity in the poor.

Of course, Limbaugh isn’t poor or on food stamps, so what’s his excuse for being fat?

Uhhhhhhh, I am told oxycontin is a mind altering drug.

Go “Ga”!!! Your comment was very informative about food! I LOVE to see that!!

Oh so ignorant… Oh so full of yourself…

His is an INSANE argument, aggreed with only by ignorant people.

How about asking yourself what would a diet low on fat and high on sugar do to a populous?

“Fat” content does not make people overweight, finally disproved.

What makes people overwieght is a tasteless, high sugar diet, that keeps people feeling hungry no matter how much of it they eat.

I’ll be called a conspiracy nut for this, but our food has been DESIGNED this way! Read the labels!

The highest ingredient concentration in all foods in cans, bottle, boxes and bags is SUGAR. Call it cane juice, corn syrup, high fructise corn syrup, dextrose, maltodextrose and a hundred other names, SUGAR—highly addictive—is in everything from bread to soup to stew to pasta sauce to cereal to canned and frozen vegetables.

You are what you eat. Read the labels!

Wait a minute here… Rush said, “At least here in America, didn’t teach them how to fish, we gave them the fish. Didn’t teach them how to butcher a—slaughter a cow to get the butter, we gave them the butter.”
So this guy thinks you have to slaughter a cow to get butter?!?!?! Moron.

Someone needs to tell Rush you don’t “butcher a—slaughter a cow to get the butter...” you milk it.

Now milk this, Rush!

Gotta give him high marks for sheer gall.

BTW, Rush, when was the last time you stood up straight, looked down and could your “equipment?”

The obesity epidemic is not just to do with food, it is to do with our sedentary lifestyle. Schools are shrinking their reccesses and their P.E. classes. Kids watch more TV and computer games and parents prefer that because they feel better about keeping their kids safe at home. And that’s because, in part, they (the parents) are watching too much television network news and are paranoid about all the predators that are looming right outside their front door.

Switch off your TV’s and do something less boring instead.

I just can’t believe he was caught with those blue pills after taking a jaunt as a sex-tourist in the Dominican Republic. Those blasted Liberals will make anything up about darling Rush!

Healthy food costs money.  The government feeds the poor alright with the cheapest food they can.  Its fattening and provides the minimal nutrition.  If you had to live on cheap mac and cheese.  You probably would be obese too.

It is one thing to speak trash and nonsense when it comes to politics. But this man is ridiculing the govt’s attempt to feed the helpless and the hungry in our country, not to mention the invaluable work done in saving childrens’ lives by organizations like UNICEF. If ever there was a human manifestation of pure evil then this guy is it.

This guy needs to focus on his own obesity problems first.  Maybe since he’s such a drug addict, he can steal some Ritalin and give it to people to curb their appetite.  Rush.. there’s a reason why Al Franken calls you a big, fat idiot. PSYCHO

Wow, the lack of undestanding nutrition has reached new levels. To return the favor of simplistic opinion without any analysis by a big, fat idiot. What’s your excuse Rush?

Does Rush blame the “liberal” government for the fact that he is fat, er obese?

Rush, aka the floating fat man, may be right. Remember, according to Franken, Rusty spent some time on “welfare” himself - food stamps for potato chips. The man is a pig.

Amazing that you can sell Ignorance by the trainload, apparently.

It happens that I live on an indian reservation, where I do grocery shopping.  I also travel a couple of hundred miles to a big city to do some shopping as well.

It is conservative business people who make a pragmatic decision to create large stocks of very low cost food items, called “commodity foods” to describe their real pupose - not as food, but as profit.  Some of this is from surplus stocks.

So you see whole walls displaying Spam and other supercheap foods that in big city grocery stores you see very little of. 

When people can’t afford “whole foods” or organic food choices, they look for price.  A can of Spam for $2.00 becomes practical, if terrible from a dietary standpoint.  This is why there is an epidemic of both obesity and diabetes among the poor. 

It is extremely cynical of people like Limbaugh to stereotype poverty for use as a bogus political issue, and not helpful.  This is a tough dilemma derived mainly from market economics and can’t be addressed by simplistic ideologues.

Give me 5 minutes with this guy and I promise you he’ll change his tone.

If anyone ever writes the book,
“The 10 People That Really Destroyed the U.S.A.”
this slob should get top billing.
This low life has pumped rasism ,sexism,poison ,hate and discontent into the airways thru 500 stations for decades.
Yet he never gets the credit he deserves.

So this is what drugs do to the brain.

This man is dillusional!
“It’s sort of a textbook case of what happens when we let liberals have their way.”..
Then…
“The Bush administration is killing the poor with too much food.”
Is he trying to argue that Bush is too liberal?
He should go have another prozac.

He’s right.

Who ever listens to this man needs to go to see a doctor,because there is really something wrong with their thinking!!! where they abused when they were younger or something LOL...LOL no wonder hes a drug addict i would be to if my brain thought like his!!!! RUSH GET HELP FAST YOU NEED IT!!!
