It's not slander if it's written, it's libel (have you not watch Spider-Man?).
It's not slander either if the accusations are real. Limbaugh's story of addiction, for example, or dishonesty are well documented |
Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives.

Slander -- and practically nothing else -- is exactly what Limbaugh makes his living doing. He rarely libels, since that requires writing.

This full! Limbaugh's Crazy Conspiracy Theory: Democrats Started The Economic Crisis To Help Elect Obama»
Today, the New York Times had an article about how right-wing talk radio is gearing up to aggressively go after President-elect Obama over the next four years. Rush Limbaugh demonstrated his commitment to this crusade today on his radio show by blaming Democrats — especially Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) — for starting the current economic crisis.
Here's how Limbaugh's conspiracy theory goes: Schumer caused on run on IndyMac bank in California this summer, in order to create a feeling of financial panic amongst the public. Democrats then capitalized on this panic with electoral wins in the White House and Congress. The purpose of gaining this power, according to Limbaugh, was to nationalize U.S. industries:

How is it that this habitual liar and drug-addicted, sexually impotent popinjay has any audience at all? Are there that many people that stupid?
Well, I suppose there must be, otherwise else he'd be making a living flipping burgers somewhere and likely spitting in the secret sauce. As far as I have observed, he's not qualified for much of anything else.

Ok so you proved that you can slander.Props!
I don't know if Dems caused the economy to fail,you can rest assured that many didn't help.A failing economy fits well with their message and goals.It is a common attitude among many DC liberals that the current system has to fail completely in order for the new dem system to be implimented(trust me i've many conversations with various people in DC about this).
Ecomony crashes,Dems seek funding for everything under the sun.Funding give control.Even Obama has stated many times,"if they don't do what we ask we don't give them the money".The stim package will extend the reach of the fed much farther than it is today.
Obama is succeeding in doing what socialist in america have failed to do since the early 1900's.I believe the failed mostly becuase of the Nazi's and then the Communist governments.It is much easier to contrast what we are doing when you can still remeber what they did and how they did it.
If you disagree,fine.But try to use words instead of clever little put downs.No one respects that.

Welcome to SFN, crusadex !
I have told nothing but the truth concerning this draft-dodging (he had what is known as a soldier's cyst and beat the VN draft with it) scumbag. All he has going for him is a gift of gab and a collection of slow learners who seem to enjoy being manipulated by him.
This lout has become the caltrops in the road to fair and honest, and indeed, democratic governance and deserves nothing but ridicule and contempt, which I throw at him at every opportunity -- ridicule and contempt justified by public record.
Indeed, taking a vacation in the Dominican Republic, the latest destination for those who desire to sample some kiddie prostitution, with a bottle of someone else's Viagra tells a story by itself.
But I am always open to argument; do you have anything factual that might change my mind concerning this loathsome, treasonous glob of rotting offal whom I would love to meet in a dark alley?

How full of shit is Rush Limbaugh?
This is another one of those questions, like "how many grains of sand are on all the beaches in all the world?", or "how many atoms are there in the universe?". The magnitude of the answer is beyond the ability of the human mind to truly grasp. |
The foundation of morality is to . . . give up pretending to believe that for which there is no evidence, and repeating unintelligible propositions about things beyond the possibliities of knowledge.

It seems Limbaugh's at it again.
Just in case anyone was saying that the first time he said it it was out of context, as in he only wants the socialist stuff to fail or something...
From Ed Brayton.
Something frightening? Look at the second comment on Ed's posting.
I feel sorry for Obams...no "bipartisanship" for him...Rush is apparently one of the more popular Republicans out there.

How tremendously lame. There's no link or other useful citation to the alleged 2006 poll. We're supposed to take Fox News' word for it that 51% "of Democrats did not want Bush to succeed." What does that even mean? What were the poll questions?
More importantly:Conservative radio talk show host Limbaugh says he doesn't want the economy to fail -- just Obama's policies. Obama's goal is to fix the economy. If Rush shares that goal, then "I hope he fails" is dramatically unconstructive.
Of course, Rush is trying to blame TARP on Obama now, indicating that Rush is not interested in actually solving problems with evidence-based, rational policies. |

Rush is a bloated bag of methane with a festering anus at both ends and while he spreads his corruption across the land, his epicenter is pretty much localized. He has, to my knowledge, no official minions. Not so with another doubled-barreled anus: Bill O'Reilly.
I'm sure that we are all familiar with Amanda Terkel being stalked and rather viciously confronted by Jesse Watters who is one of O'Reilly's producers and a scumbag on a level with O himself. It turns out that this was not an isolated incident; evidently, it's his job and he & a handful of other cheap thugs do this sort of thing on a regular basis. Judge J. Rogers Padgett, 13th Judicial Circuit in Florida, 3/24/09: O'Reilly producer Jesse Watters confronts Padgett at a convenience store, then uses his body to ensure Padgett cannot close his car door.
Amanda Terkel, Managing Editor at ThinkProgress, 3/21/09: O'Reilly producer Jesse Watters follows Terkel for two hours and confronts her outside of a hotel in Virginia while she is on vacation.
Russell Tice, Former NSA Analyst, 2/6/09: O'Reilly producer Jesse Watters confronts Tice outside of his home.
Michael Hoyt, Executive Editor at Columbia Journalism Review, 2/2/09: O'Reilly producer Dan Bank confronts Hoyt on a bus as he pays the fare.
Hendrik Hertzberg, Senior Editor at The New Yorker, 12/2/08: O'Reilly producer Jesse Watters confronts Hertzberg as he walks down the street.
Sen. Charles Schumer (D-NY), 11/20/08: Fox News reporter Griff Jenkins confronts Schumer in the halls of the Capitol.
|
The list continues ad nauseum....
The right wing media is extraordinary. I find myself somewhat amazed that none of these 'producers' has been been shot yet, or ast least punched out. They must be very good at selecting their victims and they do O'Reilly, himself a stalker, proud.
Edit: I forgot to add this piece of nonsense: Sunday, March 29, 2009
GOP leader Rush Limbaugh wants to change the word "dike" because it makes him uncomfortable when talking about the flooding in N. Dakota

The fact that Obama's goal is to fix the economy does not imply his policies are the only possible things that could fix it. It is possible that the economy will be fixed by factors other than his policies, or in spite of them if they turn out to be counterproductive. |

It's interesting to hear that argument, in light of the fact that the GOP's incredible counter-budget, "The Republican Road to Recovery," contains no numbers at all. That's not a recovery program, not a budget.
All the floundering Republicans can agree upon is their desire for the only plan for Nation's recovery to fail.

| Unless government intervention is unnecessary, suppose a private solution is better. I am just saying that Obama's policies could fail and the economy still improve. The failure of Obama's policies could just mean we wasted billions of dollars of public funds for something that would have fixed itself. Even if unlikely, I do not find it impossible to fathom. |

That does not mean the doctors should not try to cure them.
That does not mean its ok to hope for the doctor to fail because you do not like this particular guy. |
