Rush Limbaugh Caller Demonstrates The Meaning of 'Mind-Numbed'
Texas4Palin ^ | 2/17/2011 | Posted by Josh Painter

Posted on 02/17/2011 8:42:37 AM PST by curth

Idiot caller can see Tina Fey from his back mind * Rush exposes the ignorance and mind-numbed stupidity of the average leftist:

Transcript excerpt:

CALLER: Well, that's what I'm saying. That's why it's, "Like who?" You don't do it. You have people messing up all the time. What about Sarah Palin? What about Michele Bachmann? What about some of the crazy statements they make?

RUSH: What do you want...?

CALLER: You never say a word.

RUSH: Give me an example of some crazy things. Just give me a crazy thing Sarah Palin said.

CALLER: All you gotta do, uhh, is pull her up. Anything she says, to me, really is kind of crazy.

RUSH: No, no. No, no, no, no. You're gonna have to tell me. Give me an example.

CALLER: You know... You know, and... You know what? I've noticed this tactic, too. Whenever I talk to a right-wing person, the first thing they want to do is deflect the question you ask them by asking you a question.

RUSH: I'm not deflecting anything. I'm trying to find out exactly what it is that you think Sarah Palin said that is stupid.

CALLER: (laughing) Oh, so you don't think anything she said is dumb, huh? Okay. I see. This is what I mean. You don't have anything. Everything she said is very intelligent and -- and is correct. That what you believe, right?

RUSH: Uh, this is --

CALLER: What about...? Okay, let's go back, when she first came out. What about seeing Alaska from -- or seeing Russia from -- her backyard? Do you think that was stupid or not?

RUSH: She never said it. See, this is --

CALLER: Oh, my God.

RUSH: He's my God, too, so watch it.

CALLER: Well, you don't act like it.

RUSH: And I'm going to tell you something: She never said it.

CALLER: She never said it? Okay.

RUSH: This is the problem. Kevin... You're a walking cliche.

You are partly responsible for the problem this country's in, because you are willingly ignorant. You willingly keep yourself stupid and ignorant and uninformed, and you run around and live in your political cliched world, and you unwittingly are contributing to the problem that we've got by not getting up to speed and understanding what's really going on. The people that I assume you support are actively destroying whatever opportunity you might have to make something of yourself someday -- if that opportunity still remains for you. That's an open question. (sigh) Anyway, Kevin, thanks for the call. I appreciate it.

Rush kept asking the caller to give an example of the things the caller was accusing him of, and the guy's response was to say that conservatives always deflect criticism with a question.

Then the guy finally said Sarah Palin is stupid because Tina Fey said she could see Russia from her front porch.

I don’t have to give you any examples of stupid things that Sarah Palin says. All I have to do is refer you to Saturday Night Live.

Thank you, Rush. Thanks for being there. Thanks for calling liberals on their lies. Thank you, Rush. Thank you, Rush. Thanks for being there for us. Thanks for calling liberals on their lies and deceptions.

Rush gave the caller lots of time to give examples and the caller could not..
These libs are fine when they talk amongst themselves because they just agree with each other but when called out to give an example you are met with silence..
My friend told me Rush was a racist and a homophobe when i asked for proof or examples the reply was everybody knows he is..

I can’t understand why Rush (or any other talking head) takes calls.

I always switch stations when he takes a call. Or starts yakking about Life Lock. Or whatever.

Only his monologues are worth listening to.

What about seeing Alaska from -- or seeing Russia from -- her backyard?

This guy is even stupider than stupid. First he says she said she can see Alaska from her back yard, but then corrects his mistake and says Russia.

Well, it was Tina Fey who said that. But actually, not even Tina Fey said that. She said, "I can see Russia from my front porch."

So, he didn't even get that right. Back yard, front porch? Which direction is Russia, anyway? He's reporting on a rumor of a rumor of a rumor that he probably got from some of stupid liberal buddies when they were all high on pot.

There are tens of millions of idiots like this one infesting the country.

We go to work every morning to give these idiots another opportunity to be idiotic. Our troops lose life and limb to give these idiots another opportunity to be idiotic.

What the **** is the point?

Wow! Maybe it’s time to reevaluate your choice of friends.

These Seminar Callers are always the best. You could see that dope smoking idiot waking up early at 11AM in order to shut Rush down. Then something happens to them that never ever happened to them before. Someone actually questions their assumptions. They fold right away and complain it was a tactic. Priceless.

SNL and Tina fey did a good job on their impersonation of Palin. So much so that the goofs that watch that show assumed that it really was Palin and the media did the same. They put Palin in a position of defending the idiocy of someone who was impersonating her.

It’s my assertion that there are two types of liberals: a) those who are uniformed and therefore ignorant and b) those who are informed and therefore simply evil. Of the 69 million people who voted for Obama, one wonders what percentage of them were ignorant and what percentage of them were evil.

Typical low-IQ liberal projecting his feelings of stupidity onto Palin.

I know a law professor from a prominent southern law school who also believes Sarah Palin said that. And I have a feeling that there are many more out there who also believe she said it and not Tina Fey.

“Then the guy finally said Sarah Palin is stupid because Tina Fey said she could see Russia from her front porch. “

Just a clear example of the permanent damage that can be done by a urban-legend type of comment. Tina Fey’s idiot nastiness said that above so-called statement. What Sarah Palin said was that you can see Russia from the American side.

Anybody who’s had any kind of geography, knows that that is CORRECT! But since they’re teaching “social science” and other stupid courses, most Americans have no idea that Sara was ABSOLUTELY CORRECT.

Why?

Exactly. That is the question you should be asking yourself. Why am I friends with someone who thinks Rush is a racist and a homophobe? Are your friends so important to you that you are willing to tolerate the closed-mindedness? Actually, do you define "friend" in the loosest possible terms? I define "friend" as someone who wouldn't turn me in if we lived in a police state. Very few people are worthy. Otherwise, they are acquaintances, and then I don't have to examine the relationship, I just don't go to bars with them or invite them to my house or friend them on FaceBook.

With God as my witness I was talking about this very subject with a couple of my co-workers last week. When I told one of them they were actually quoting a comedy skit I got an incredulous look. It took no time to find the Gibson interview on the net and I invited them to read it. Both stated that this wasn’t the interview where she said she could see Russia from her house and both swore they’d heard her utter those words in another interview.

They were so dismissive that I pointed my finger directly at one them about a foot away from his face and said, “You’re going to find that interview for me.” He’s a very nice, educated and (otherwise) competent guy but I had to challenge him because both of them were just a little too smug for my liking. I’m going to choose just the right time to ask him what he found. :)

Never mind. (Silly hippie.)
