Is it true?

is what true?

and i assume you are asking me even though you didnt quote me

I'm asking a rhetorical question. From listening to Rush talk about how President Obama has a "Messiah Complex", I've realized that Rush is the one with this problem. Everything that came out of his mouth was "I predicted this", just generally self loving himself. He seems to think that he is God.

Oh for heaven's sake Sky. You linked it. Rush is commenting on and pointing out dishonesty in somebody else's interview. Read what is in your own link:

CIZIK: It damaged it because it became perceived by millions and millions of Americans as captive to a conservative ideology, not captive to Jesus or the Gospel but captive to an ideology that, uh, has departed from -- in so many ways from -- historic evangelicalism. We're trying to say, "We're for these things," and among those is you see, uh, this, uh, command to -- first and foremost in everything -- follow Jesus. Not the Republican Party or Rush Limbaugh or anybody else, but to follow what the Gospel says.

RUSH: This guy can't be an evangelical. I mean, it says here he's an evangelical. But every evangelical that I've ever heard on radio or TV does not say "Jesus." He says, "Jeeeee-SUS!" and "God-duh." You don't just say "Jesus." " Jeeeee-SUS!" So then Richard Cizik and the host had this exchange...

GROSS: (whispering) You mentioned the Republican Party and Rush Limbow. (sick) Do you think that some of the positions that evangelicals have been taking politically are to keep that alliance with the Republican Party and with powerful people with microphones like Rush Limbow?

CIZIK: Oh, of course! In other words, there are strong forces within evangelicalism against change.

RUSH: Well, this is a bunch of gobbledygook. There are "a bunch of forces within evangelicalism that are against change." Does this mean that I am more popular than The Beatles? Well, I'm just asking a question. More popular than John Lennon? Ooh! Ooo! Did you notice the NPR babe? (whispering) "Uh, you mentioned, uh, the Republican Party and Rush Limbow. Do you think, uh, that some of the positions that evangelicals been taken politically are to keep that alliance with the Republican Party with powerful people with microphones like Rush Limbow?" (laughing)

We're always at a disadvantage to get the full context from a Rush transcript though because we can't get the voice inflections and exaggerated tone that he uses to illustrate absurdity with absurdity. I don't have a membership to the paid part of his website, so I can't snag the video. But Rush in no way is saying what you seem to be saying he said.

Rush has twice referred to President Obama as a 'spade', a racial slur.

got a link for those, or even one?

 

[Sky Dancer]

I posted what Rush said. That's what I'll do from now on. His words only.

I looked into it further and it was references to spadework. The heading was misleading. Rush didn't call the President a spade.

That's why I deleted the post.

ah, i didnt think that had happened
the media would have gone apeshit all over had he done so

 

[On your sde]

I admire anyone who is willing to put themselves out there for all the world to critique. I believe honesty is soon to be a thing of the past. To many fear the consequences. I am proud that Mr. Beck is not one of them. If we do our homework, as he suggest, then we have access to the same information. Then, at least, we can make an informed choice about what to believe. CONTINUE ON MY GOOD MAN....
