Obama Likes Wanda Sykes Joke About Rush Limbaugh: 'I Hope His Kidneys Fail'

[KittenKoder]

Because he's a whiney, sniveling little prick?

Wait! 300 lbs. is little?

just more proof that sarahg is a moron

I wouldn't agree, but I think "loudmouthed, blubbering buffoon" would have been a better description.

 

[DiveCon]

I don't understand why this made Rush so upset to be honest.

please show where Rush has said anything about this
let alone, that he is upset

If he isn't upset, why all the outrage? Oh, it's fauxrage once again.

must it always be outrage with you?
LOL
thanks for confirming how much of a moron you are

 

[KittenKoder]

Okay, some good descriptions of well known people:

Rush - loudmouthed blubbering buffoon.

Obama - American Idol wannabe who just can't sing so he became pres instead.

Bush - illiterate Dumbo.

Clinton - the luckiest whore-monger alive.

ACLU - mosquitoes who only defend the most recent hot button group.

Al Gore - crook.

Perhaps you should post YOUR evidence that Mike J Fox admitted he was playing up his disease like you earlier suggested before throwing down the evidence gauntlet on someone else.

To be fair, Michael J. Fox went on one show without taking his meds because he wanted people to see what the disease was really like.

Is that playing it up?

Depends on your perspective.

I saw it as truth in advertising.

you are the most useless human being i've ever seen.

seek help.

says the hypocrite who got upset over a mayor's joke about obama and watermelon....

seriously jillian, how do you reconcile the two? you said the watermelon joke was racist and just shows you how racist republicans are, you did not approve of the joke. yet here, you criticize people who do not approve of this joke...how is that not hypocritical?

 

[txlonghorn]

any disagreement with the left is considered rage. It's all part of the demonization of opposition.

I'll accept the term "rage". It's much better than all the bitching and moaning and complaining we have to put up with.

I wouldn't call that "acting", however.

What about all the bitching and moaning and complaining and whining in this thread by the "right"?

Actually, he didn't.

"Anyone who knows the disease well would regard his movement as classic severe Parkinson's disease. Any other interpretation is misinformed."[13] Doctors and commentators[who?] have noted that his movements in the commercial were not because he was "off his medication" but rather were actually a side effect of the treatment; the disease itself would have left Fox almost immobile.

Sorry, I forgot to quote the part I was responding to. Not that it matters. The truth is still in play here.

Hmmmm, there is an irony hammer? How often have you been hit?

Another POV from across the sea on Sykes bit. There's more to it than Rush and Oxycontin. If this had come from the right and was aimed at the left, what would the reaction be?

Although the Left is reporting her White House Correspondents' Dinner speech as "taking shots" at Limbaugh and mocking everyone, that's a gross misrepresentation of what turned into a hateful and disgusting diatribe.

I was at the dinner and I began by laughing at Sykes's gentle teases about the press loving Obama so much they never capture him on film smoking but often seem to get him on the beach.

It was amusing when she quipped that Obama trying so hard to be all things to all men that the next thing is he'll be seen mowing the White House lawn.

But the speech took a very ugly turn when she laid into Limbaugh.

This is what she said: "Rush Limbaugh said he hopes this administration fails, so you're saying, 'I hope America fails', you're, like, 'I dont care about people losing their homes, their jobs, our soldiers in Iraq'. He just wants the country to fail. To me, that's treason.

"He's not saying anything differently than what Osama bin Laden is saying. You know, you might want to look into this, sir, because I think Rush Limbaugh was the 20th hijacker. But he was just so strung out on OxyContin he missed his flight."

She then concluded: "Rush Limbaugh, I hope the country fails, I hope his kidneys fail, how about that? He needs a good waterboarding, that's what he needs." Obama seemed to think this bit was pretty hilarious, grinning and chuckling and turning to share the "joke" with the person sitting on his right.

There's not much room for differing interpretations of what Sykes said. She called Limbaugh a terrorist and a traitor, suggested that he be tortured and wished him dead.

What was his crime? Hoping that Obama's policies - which he views as socialist - will fail.

That's way, way beyond reasoned debate or comedy and Obama's reaction to it was astonishing.

Imagine if a comedian "joked" that Obama was a terrorist who was guilty of treason and should be tortured and allowed to die. There would justifiably be an outcry.

But when the "joke" comes from a liberal, Obama-supporting comedienne and the target is a right-winger then the likes of Hilary Rosen and Donna Brazile are on CNN saying it's just comedy and Limbaugh is "fair game".

And Obama laughing when someone wishes Limbaugh dead? Hard to take from the man who promised a new era of civility and elevated debate in Washington.

some quick examples of hypocrisy by some posters in this thread...also, it is very telling how very few people jumped into those threads with the visceral comments displayed here regarding people commenting on this joke...

guess how was the butt of those jokes or comments....yeah, obama, see the difference

Irony is not always a bad thing ... unless you only see things as black and white.
