Service is the first step towards fascism?

17 Sep

limbaugh-5

GOP spokes mouth Rush Limbaugh exclaimed on 9-11 that, “Community service is the first step toward fascism.”

Really Rush?

Community service is the first step towards Fascism?

Do you have some kind of historical basis for this assumption? Any kind of historical basis?

No? Well, what a surprise. Perhaps your buddy Glenn Beck can have a professor at the University of I Can’t Remember find something to base your comments on.

I don’t think you’ll ever find any kind of historical basis though. But, who knows? Perhaps somewhere in that America you and your Ditto-heads seem to want to go back too. Which America is that by the way?

The America where we have only white Presidents?

The America where the CIA illegally tortures prisoners?

The America where the Executive Branch lies to the Legislative Branch?

The America where a Republican Presidential Candidate say it’s OK to wiretap houses of worship?

But we digress.

So, community service is the first step towards fascism. Well, then the Boy Scouts of America must be what? The United State’s version of the Hitler Youth? After all one of the last things you do in order to gain the rank of Eagle is to perform what? Oh yeah, community service.

Yep, looks like Rush might be right, it does appear that National Service is indeed the first step to fascism…

Limbaugh Isn’t Just a Liar, but He’s Disgusting Too

28 Aug

During his infamous radio broadcast yesterday – Thursday, 27 Aug 09 – Rush Limbaugh took another step toward eventually losing his radio show while discussing so-called “fake” vandalism by Democrats in Colorado.

Limbaugh said that it turned out the vandal was a transgender anarchist. But of course our red neck country boy from Missouri couldn’t leave it at that. No, our boy Rush had to be as disgusting  as possible in discussing the story.

“Now, I don’t know if this was an add-a-dick-to-me transgender or a chop-a-dick-off-of-me transgender,” Limbaugh quipped.

So, how is it that all you fine, upstanding, right-wing Republican Christians can listen to someone use this kind of language, in this kind of way, and think it’s OK?

I guess it’s acceptable to be disgusting and degrading if you’re attacking someone you personally loathe.

Tea Parties Demonstrate Right’s Impotence

20 Apr

According to America’s Truth Detector, the de facto leader of the Republican Tea Party (GOTP), Rush Limbaugh, “There were 800 tea parties, and I think some outfit has calculated based on the estimates from law enforcement officials and others on all the sites, something like 189,000 Americans showed up yesterday total for all the tea parties.” 

Let’s do a little math. Rush claims to have 20 million listeners; so, 189,000 divided by 20 million = 0.009 multiplied by 100 = 0.945 percent of his so-called listening audience.

According to most media outlets, Rush is heard on 600 radio stations nation wide with some 14 million listeners. So, 189,000 divided by 14 million = 0.013 multiplied by 100 = 1.35 percent of his listeners.

In 2004 there were 55 million registered Republicans; 189,000 divided by 55 million = 0.003 multiplied by 100 = 0.34 percent of total Republicans.

According to Talkers Magazine, Sean Hannity has about 13 million listeners. 189,000 divided by 13 million = 0.014 multiplied by 100 = 1.45 percent of his listeners.

Laura Ingraham is estimated to have around 5 million listeners. 189,000 divided by 5 million = 0.037 multiplied by 100 = 3.78 percent of her total listeners.

Michael Savage has approximately 8 million listeners. 189,000 divided by 8 million = 0.023 multiplied by 100 = 2.36 percent of total listeners.

Glenn Beck has approximately 4 million listeners. 189,000 divided by 4 million = 0.047 multiplied by 100 = 4.72 percent of total listeners.

So, what does this mean?

It means that Rush, Hannity, Beck, O’Reilly, FOX PAC, Ingraham, Boortz, Savage, Crowley, et al., do not have near the amount of political power, nor political clout that they, or the Democrats think they have. This was the best they could do? This is all they could muster? Best case 4.72 percent of Glenn Beck’s total listeners? The GOTP couldn’t get more then 0.34 percent of its total numbers to come out? 189,000 disgruntled voters out of 169 million registered voters in the United States? 0.11 percent of all the registered voters in the whole country turned out?

If this is the best they can do, then the conservative movement in America and especially the Republican Tea Party has had its day. It appears that Ronald Reagan truly was the GOP’s high water mark. If I were a member of the Democratic Party leadership I would simply smile every time Rush, or Hannity, or any other member of the conservative media attacked me, and then I would turn to them and say, as Glenda said to the Witch of the West, “You have no power here, now be gone before someone drops a house on you too.”

Hannity is a Liar

12 Mar

sean-hannity

How can someone who consistently lies claim to be serving either his country or his party? And yet Sean Hannity is looked up to by millions of listeners each day who call his show and proclaim, “Oh, Sean, you’re a great American”. PLEASE!

Hannity is nothing more than a liar. He doesn’t report news, he doesn’t even comment on it very well, he makes stuff up, and his listeners suck the right-wing koolaid in through their audio IVs.

His biggest lie of late has been repeating over and over again how President Obama lied about cutting ear marks. Earth to Sean. The President never promised that. Your candidate, John McCain did. So, you’re basically saying the President is a liar because he didn’t keep McCain’s promises.

But, hey, don’t take my word for it, here’s what Hannity has been spewing.

The following is from the March 11 edition of Fox News’ Hannity: as reported by Media Matters.

Hannity said, “Barack Obama, in the debate with John McCain, said, “I’m going to go line by line. I’m going to eliminate all the earmarks.” Now, I think politically speaking, Barack Obama had a golden opportunity to stand up to his party and say, “I’m a man of my word, I promised the American people, and I’m going to keep it.” He didn’t do that. Was that a big mistake?

“If you say, “I’m going to go line by line, I’m gonna eliminate bad programs, I’m gonna eliminate all earmarks,” that seems to me like a broken promise.

“But is it petty if Barack Obama says, “I am going to go line by line and eliminate earmarks,” and the first bill he signs — 50 days into his administration — he signs a bill with 9,000 earmarks? That’s a broken pledge.”

Oh Sean, Sean, Sean, Sean. If McCain makes the promise; which he did; then how is it Obama’s promise? He – Obama – never said it. Therefore Mr. Hannity, you’re a bald faced liar.

Oh, and by the way Mr. Hannity, if we’re going to talk about broken promises, when are you going to be water boarded for the families of our fallen soldiers, like you said you would be?

Rush is Running the Republicn Party?

04 Mar

So, let me get this straight, Michael Steele, the Chairman of the Republican National Committee says that Rush Limbaugh is not the “de-facto” head of the Republican Party, says that he is, and then says that Rush is only a comedian, a mere “entertainer” whose show is “incendiary” and “ugly.” But wait, as they say on infomercials, “That’s not all!” The next day Steele apologized to Limbaugh.

Mr. Steele, this is exactly why I have changed my registration from Republican to Democrat after 29 years. Rush IS a “mere entertainer” and his so-called comedy IS not only “incendiary” and “ugly”, but IS also divisive and racist. Your apology has placed Rush squarely as the “de-facto” head of the GOP. You have placed the court jester on the party’s throne, and you have made yourself the court jester.

So let’s recap, we have the likes of Sarah Palin and Bobby Jindal being hailed as the future of the GOP, and Rush Limbaugh as the “de-facto” head of the party. Yeah, good luck with that.
