Rush Limbaugh must be destroyed according to another right wing talk show host.

[Picaro]

That's you and your left wing nutter friends listening to the voices in your heads. You morons think you only have to speak a thing and it becomes truth. .

Yeah, this. Quoted for truth.

 

[Soggy in NOLA]

Pity it won't fit on a bumper strip,

Will anyone 'fess up to having read the entire rant?

Rush Limbaugh just admitted:

1. That he is an "entertainer."
2. That it is not his job to vet Presidential candidates, and or to inform you of any of their fallacies.
3. That he is only on the micro-phone to entertain, not inform.
4. That he could care less if the Republican party gets hit by a 200 foot high Tsunami.
5. That he does this for ratings and profits.

And that the very worst thing that could happen to those obscene profit breaks is that Hillary Clinton LOSES this election and he has nothing to talk about for the next 4 to 8 years.

You think he is the "face" of the Republican party--would never tell you a lie, or never mislead you into believing something that wasn't true. Never twist a fact to suit the Reich wing hyperbole. He has become your worst enemy--along with all the rest. This is the outcome of mixing "entertainment" politics with ratings & profits, and very stupid people who have turned them into factual based information and news.

You Norns have been lying about him for years. You do it because you can't directly refute anything he says.

Their retort is a goofy cartoon or to call him a "big fat poopy head".

Pathetic.

Rush's #1 job is stopping liberals and progressives whenever and however possible. He has never ever endorsed a candidate in a primary

Except he does, he just says you DittoTards are too stupid to figure out who he endorses while leaving himself "plausible deniability" so that when the person he wants to win fails to win he can pretend he hasn't lost any influence. He wanted Fred Thompson in 2008 and First Walker and then Cruz in 2016. None of his picks won.

January 4, 2008

RUSH: People need leadership. It's one of my mantras. They want leadership. And to a lot of these people, I am their leader. And they think that I am AWOL on leadership because I don't come out and endorse a candidate, and because I don't come out and go through the candidates' particulars and suggest this is good, this is bad. I have actually been doing that; if anybody listens regularly, they shouldn't really be having a tough time figuring out who I like and who I don't like.

CALLER: Totally.

RUSH: But nevertheless, maybe that kind of subtlety is not powerful enough to get through.

Moron. He talks about all of the major candidates. You cherry pick the ones you want and you lie about an endorsement. As always, you have no clue what you are talking about.

I quoted your MessiahRushie admitting that he endorses, only subtly so he can deny he endorsed anyone when his endorsee fails, to hide his lack of influence even in the GOP.

He never endorses anyone you dolt.

He pretends not to endorse to cover his fat ass, but he always does endorse. In this year's primaries he endorsed Scott Walker first and when he dropped out he switched to Cruz.

That's very true, he has never endorsed anyone. BUT--there's a lot of facts that he never told you, in fact ONE he actually lied about. WHY YOU LOST IN 2012. Limbaugh and others CLAIMED that Romney lost because he wasn't conservative enough, which couldn't be farther from the TRUTH.
Forbes Welcome
The GOP's woman problem goes beyond Trump
Gender Gap in 2012 Vote Is Largest in Gallup's History

Now I don't think you want to mess around with the largest voting block in this country by campaigning on women's issues. Someone is going to say something real stupid that sends them running to Democrats, like they did in 2012

Limbaugh and all the others also never told you how important the Latino vote is for the GOP nominee to win the White House.
GOP Win Will Need More Than 40 Percent Of Latino 2016 Vote, Says Study

Again it is not that Limbaugh and all the others DON'T know these statistics--they do. This is why TRUTH is often left out in their programs. They do not want to upset their right wing audiences by telling them the TRUTH--because that would interfere with their ratings and profits. They're all about entertainment--not factual based news information. Political entertainment contorted to the right to suit their audiences.

So ask yourselves this one question. Had you known this critical information (above) that was NEVER given you by right wing talk show hosts (including many on FOX News)--would you still have supported Donald Trump as the nominee of the Republican party? I think not.

And in that lack of information that was deliberately withheld from you, who is responsible? You for depending too much on these right wing talk show hosts for information, or them?

Now when Trump goes down in a landslide defeat. When Trump takes the Senate, tons of seats in the house and down ballot races all across this country-with him---you can decide if you're going to listen to Mr. Talent on Loan from Gawwwwd-s and all the others again. That will be your choice. But be assured, like they did in 2012, they will come up with another bullshit reason as to why Trump lost--to keep you tuned into their programs.

 

[Rustic]

"Radio legend Rush Limbaugh, as he has on millions of conservatives, has had a major impact on my life. My late grandfather’s obsession with his show in the early 1990’s led me become an avid listener and to then change my career path from sports-casting to that of a “conservative radio talk show host.” At one point, I was even being groomed to fill in for Rush, but for a number of reasons, that never worked out (probably for the best, especially for him!).

I have never met or even spoken to Rush, but I have emailed with him on many occasions. I correctly warned him that he would eventually be taken off the powerhouse station I worked for in Los Angeles (KFI-AM), and even gave him golf “lessons” via email, which he seemed to appreciate. My current radio show, nationally syndicated on Sunday nights, probably would not have happened without Rush forwarding an email I sent to him on to an associate who set me up with a syndicator.

All politics aside, there has never been a more amazing unscripted broadcaster than Rush Limbaugh (Howard Stern wouldn’t even be close without great guests). What he has been able to maintain after the loss of his hearing is perhaps the most underrated achievement in the history of the medium.

With all of that said, I am very angry with Rush Limbaugh and have lost an enormous amount of respect for him. Last week I was widely quoted in this exposé on the conservative media where I lamented that Rush, sadly, needs be dethroned from his lofty position atop its ranks. It is becoming very clear that a large percentage of his shrinking audience feels exactly the same way.

The reason for this is that if there was one man who could have stopped the Trump trainwreck from handing Hillary Clinton the presidency and possibly destroying the Republican party, it was Rush. No one else had the credibility and the reach within the GOP base to scold the emerging temper tantrum and keep conservative eyes on the bigger picture.

Rush’s responsibility (as at least he led us to believe) was to see all dangers to the movement and do his best to destroy them. However, when faced with the Trump Trojan horse entering the gates to the kingdom, not only did he hardly fire a shot, he practically held the door open and then laughed as the carnage ensued.

Did he criticize Trump during the primaries? Sure. But only mildly, just as he did with all of the other candidates in the bloated field ripe for a celebrity con-artist to overtake it with less than a majority of support. Trump was an existential threat to the entire conservative movement and perhaps the country itself. This was not the time to hide behind some silly “I don’t endorse in a primary” rule or a desire to pretend to be “fair” as to not offend a significant portion of his already dwindling audience.

The Rush Limbaugh I used to admire would have immediately seen the obvious danger of the Trump candidacy and snuffed it out before it could even catch fire. Instead, he mostly stood back and watched the raging inferno engulf all that he had built and everything he claims to believe in.

Sean Hannity selling his soul to Trump for a few ratings points didn’t surprise me, but Rush doing nothing at all to stop him really did. Hannity is not a smart guy, but Rush is. To whom much is given, much is expected, and Rush Limbaugh came up tiny when the conservative movement needed him most.

So now, Rush is in a very difficult spot. Much of his audience is now fully able to see the betrayal that the conservative media inflicted upon their customers for their own entertainment and ratings gain. This has become crystalized by Trump’s recent apparent reversal on much of his plan to deport all of the illegal immigrants currently in the country.

I’m a big believer that if you wait long enough and keep your eyes pierced the truth will always eventually come out. That’s exactly what happened Monday when Rush was blindsided and demolished by caller “Rick from Los Angeles,” who took him and the rest of the “conservative” media to task for allowing Trump to “con” the base about what he would really do on illegal immigration. The most telling moment was at the very end when Rush, apparently by mistake, jumps to the obviously guilt-ridden conclusion that the caller was primarily blaming him (the caller probably was, but was just too polite to say it directly).

Exposed more dramatically on his conservative flank than at any other time I have ever heard of, Rush pathetically claimed that he never attacked Trump for making an obviously false promise on illegal immigration because he never took Trump “seriously” on the matter. Of course, you would think that it would have been the obligation of “America’s Truth Detector” to point that out about a hundred times during the primaries, but Rush never did.

Forced into a corner, Rush then inadvertently let his audience in on his own “con.” You see he’s just a radio host, he admitted. Just an entertainer. It wasn’t his job to take out Trump. That was the responsibility of the other fifteen candidates (who couldn’t get access to a large conservative audience because Trump was being given massive amounts of free advertising in exchange for the ratings he provided).

That’s all fine, and, to be fair, Rush has relied on that excuse to get out of jams in the past, but this situation was different. This was the 100-year storm and the guy who has made many millions of dollars pretending to be manning the lighthouse, never even bothered to warn his seaside town. In fact, he seemed to even revel in, and benefit from (his contract was just renewed), its destruction.

For that abdication of responsibility, as much as it literally pains me to say it, Rush himself must be destroyed if conservatism is to survive this disaster. How ironic that it took a caller to his show (where Rush has said for decades that the only purpose of a caller is to make him look good) to finally make that sad reality all too clear."
Caller to Limbaugh Show Exposes That Rush Knows He Blew It with Donald Trump

It's going to be very interesting to see the morning after the election just how many will still believe they are still listening to Mr. Talent on Loan from Gawwwwd-d. But, let's face it there are a whole lot of supposedly conservative talk show hosts that have sold their soles for ratings and those obscene profit breaks. Sean Hannity, Ann Colter, Bill O'Reilly, Michael Savage & Laura Ingram. Less but not least, Sarah Palin who shows up every now and then to promote this Chimpanzee. In fact, the only time I am going to turn them on is the morning after the election to see what kind of bullshit excuse they're going to use.

These people are responsible for shattering the Republican party into pieces, by delivering 3 or more daily hours of ring wing hyperbole, half truths, misconceptions and enough conspiracy theories to fill the capital building from floor to ceiling. They have continually violated Reagan's 11th commandment by attacking their own. Referring to good Republicans as Establishment & Rino's. This is no longer the party of Lincoln or Reagan it is now the Trump party because of them. The party of anger, ignorance, bigotry, misogyny & extremism. Their 2016 platform is even more extreme and divisive than ever.
http://www.nytimes.com/2016/07/19/opinion/the-most-extreme-republican-platform-in-memory.html?_r=1


I truly hope that Trump takes them all down the toilet with him. Frankly, as a former Republican I am following the advice of a friend and former staffer of Ronald Reagan. You should too.

Well, there is NO such thing as a career politician that is conservative, in fact they are ALL progressives.
The harming of established career politicians like Kasich and such is good thing, pretenders need to be culled. More damage needs to be done to the "GOP'' establishment...

 

[Rustic]

It's been pretty amusing to see the very absolutist thought processes that conservative talk radio hosts have trained their fans to exercise come back to bite them square on the ass.

Limbaugh, Hannity & Levin have spent the last several years attacking the Republican "Establishment" with at least as much energy as they attack Democrats. So when the most ridiculous and annoying possible candidate pops up, they can't stop them from voting for him because he's so anti-Establishment.

Even more amusing, this mess coincides with the Democrats having to run their most vulnerable possible candidate. Holy crap.

You can't make this shit up.

The compromising GOP establishment candidate is a cancer to the country… Fact

 

[buckeye45_73]

Wait, what? A former Republican that spoke at the DNC doesn't like Rush anymore? Golly.

To prove what an idiot he is I listen to Rush and he was very much in the Cruz camp. Maybe the poor bastard had a stroke or something?

Very true, both him and Hannity were Cruz supporters, but they humped on the train as I did..

True and the media pretends not to endorse the democrats.....so????

 

[Rustic]

Rush, Trump, Hannity, Coulter. They all need to be kicked to the same curb as the retards, bigots, racists, hypocrites, liars, psychopaths and various other pseudocons after this election. Let's hope the GOP finally grows a pair and does it.

The GOP has been nurturing and feeding the agents of its own destruction for decades. And now it is time to stab them through their worm-infested skulls and toss them back to the Democratic Party from whence their ancestors came.

The establishment GOP needs to be destroyed, because it's one party rule right now. Dems and GOP establishment are one in the same, both are progressive...

 

[amrchaos]

Hey
Didn't these same talk show hosts tear a gapping hole into Ron Paul? 2008?

Someone go check. I thought Limbaugh called Paul a loon or something.

Any way, that is not important.

What is important is that a majority of the party selected Trump despite the fact that everyone from the farthest left nutjob to the farthest right fruitcake telling his supporters that Trump was not a conservative.

Also, Limbaugh has pointed out that Trump was not a conservative several time s during the primaries.

Trump nomination is not the Talk show hosts fault. Its the registered Republican voters fault. Get over it, anti-Trump whiners!!

And yes, this is supposed to be the year GOP wins the Whitehouse!!

I truly hope that Trump takes them all down the toilet with him. Frankly, as a former Republican I am following the advice of a friend and former staffer of Ronald Reagan. You should too.

Douggie's as right wing as you are, stooge

Wait, what? A former Republican that spoke at the DNC doesn't like Rush anymore? Golly.

To prove what an idiot he is I listen to Rush and he was very much in the Cruz camp. Maybe the poor bastard had a stroke or something?

Well ya dumbass--if you actually read the article

Well you've proved what I have been saying all along about the Reich wing of the Republican party. You have no reading comprehension skills and the attention span of a knat.

If you would have managed to actually read the article you would have realized that the guy in the video was not the author of the article.

You're right, but who the hell is John Ziegler, never heard of the guy. Seems to me he's just looking for some recognition as a king killer because his little talk show is on when no one is listening.

Pity it won't fit on a bumper strip,

Will anyone 'fess up to having read the entire rant?

Rush Limbaugh just admitted:

1. That he is an "entertainer."
2. That it is not his job to vet Presidential candidates, and or to inform you of any of their fallacies.
3. That he is only on the micro-phone to entertain, not inform.
4. That he could care less if the Republican party gets hit by a 200 foot high Tsunami.
5. That he does this for ratings and profits.

And that the very worst thing that could happen to those obscene profit breaks is that Hillary Clinton LOSES this election and he has nothing to talk about for the next 4 to 8 years.

You think he is the "face" of the Republican party--would never tell you a lie, or never mislead you into believing something that wasn't true. Never twist a fact to suit the Reich wing hyperbole. He has become your worst enemy--along with all the rest. This is the outcome of mixing "entertainment" politics with ratings & profits, and very stupid people who have turned them into factual based information and news.

Rush never said those things. I listen everyday. So stop lying.

You forgot the source and thought a cartoon would cover for it. LOL.

He has said all along he's an entertainer, you are 25 years behind. But I never heard him say he didn't inform, just the opposite. He has said he isn't the one to pick the candidate for the GOP.

Do you do drugs?

Did Rush Limbaugh or any of other right wing talk show host tell their listeners why Republicans lost in 2012? NOPE

Republicans lost in 2012 because they lost women by double digits, younger women by 36 points. The campaign in 2012 was also about immigration. The last President to win was G.W Bush and he captured 44% of the Hispanic vote. Romney lost with 27%. They did tell you that the reason Romney lost was because he wasn't conservative enough--LOL

4. Did Rush Limbaugh or any other, explain to them that Republicans in the entire Southwest of this country depend on Hispanics to win elections. And that there is a high possibility that Republicans will lose the Senate and a ton of seats in the house. NOPE & NOPE

NOPE
6. What does Rush Limbaugh spend most of his time doing? Attacking other Republicans with his anti-establishment rhetoric.
7. Who is Rush Limbaugh promoting now. Ted Cruz, another candidate that he knows with 100% certainly, doesn't have a snowballs chance in hell of winning the White House.
Rush Limbaugh, Michael Savage and all the others--Friend or Foe?

Why?
Because the very worst thing that could happen to all of those Obscene Profit breaks is that Hillary Clinton LOSES this election.
Donald Trump broke the conservative media

And like little lambs you're being lead to a slaughter on election night.

You ask: "Did Rush Limbaugh or any of other right wing talk show host tell their listeners why Republicans lost in 2012? NOPE"

Oh yes he did. Rush said Mitt lost the election because at the end he was up by 6 points and decided to coast rather than take any chances hitting Obama hard about Benghazi. I can't speak for other "right wing" hosts because you didn't specify who they were. Besides, I don't listen to all "right wing" talk shows. Maybe you have time to listen to them all and take careful notes about who said what when, but I don't.

No that's not why he lost. The Evangelical right wing of the party dragged the party into abortion issues, that then went into who's not going to pay for birth control pills that then went into what is legal legitimate rape questions which was always answered on Mike Huckabee's program on FOX news, typically by an ancient white Republican male.

Rush Limbaugh also put his two cents in when he went on a 30 minute rampage about the cost of birth control pills and ended up calling a woman a SLUT on the air waves that immediately elevated her up to National media attention. She gave a speech at the DNC convention and then was later making T.V. adds for them.

Karen Hughes--former G.W. Bush adviser had this to say after Mitt Romney lost.

"And if another Republican man says anything about rape other than it is a horrific, violent crime, I want to personally cut out his tongue. The college-age daughters of many of my friends voted for Obama because they were completely turned off by Neanderthal comments like the suggestion of “legitimate rape.”
Karen Hughes: I'll 'cut out' the tongue of GOPers talking rape

Women went running from the Republican party by double digits, younger women by a whopping 36 points. And that is what secured a 2nd term for Barack Obama.
The GOP's woman problem goes beyond Trump

And because you didn't know the TRUTH of why you lost in 2012 you repeated the same thing in 2016. The stage was filled with several knuckle dragging neanderthals that could have never won the female vote. They were: Ted Cruz, Mike Huckabee, Rick Santorum, Rand Paul, Bobby Jindal, Rick Perry & Scott Walker. There is NO candidate in this nation that can win a National election if they do not give the 3 exceptions for the life of the mother, rape and incest.

So every time Rush Limbaugh or any of the others, refers to Hillary Clinton as a cervix or vagina--they're just slamming another home run for her.

The left made birth control pills an issue by demanding we all pay for them so some college slut could sling her hips like a screen door in a thunderstorm. Disagreement is an argument created by the right?

Romney gave obama and the dems a pass by not going after the Libya/Benghazi fuckup and coverup. Aided by the press. And right in the presidential debate at that.

 

[ThunderKiss1965]

What are the Left wing radio talk shows saying ... wait are there actual any of those ?

KFI is a hard left station now. I'm trying to figure out just who the OP is supposed to be? Fucking Bill Handel? The "all in for Hillary" morning drive guy? It's not John Kobelt, that's for damned sure.
