The United States of America is over! I just heard it from Rush Limbaugh!

So many on this site seem to believe that Limbaugh is the sole repository of knowledge and wisdom. I stopped counting the number of factually incorrect statements he's made over the years. I've stopped counting the idiotic things he has said. Yes, the general thrust of what is saying is correct. But he's been wrong time and time again about specifics.

I'd really like to know just what kind of a better deal could be achieved given the fact that the Republicans control just one of the three elected branches of government? What better deal could the Republicans have generated given the composition of the Senate and with Obama in the White House? This is what drives me nuts about Limbaugh. Recently Limbaugh went on a rant about a speech Governor Mitch Daniels made at a CPAC meeting. I listened to the speech on YouTube- twice. Limbaugh could not have been more wrong about the nature of the speech if he had tried. He completely mischaracterized the nature of the speech. I don't know what he was trying to achieve other than to boost his own exaggerated ego.

I employ those of you who worship at the feet of this guy to start to think for yourselves and stop letting this guy think for you. The guy IS NOT an expert in anything IMHO.

While I love the guy that does not change the truth of what you are saying. When Rush is on the money he is little short of brilliant. No one can treat a serious subject as wittily as he or get to the bottom of things as incisively. He is like a political surgeon during those times.

But he makes a lot of mistakes, too. He is only human.

What has bothered me of late is his use of analogies/arguments which he MUST know are inappropriate and deceptive. That kind of dishonesty I expect from a Democrat, not from Rush.

Operation Chaos was so successful.

Half of the people on this site are completely nuts. That certain people can claim to be more intelligent than others, yet make idiotic politically deaf statements and have zero optimism is beyond me. The fact that some seem to be nothing more than bandwagon jumpers, not even knowing what they are talking about is beyond me as well. The Republicans could have a super majority of both houses of congress and a President (all the most conservative of conservative) and some here WOULD STILL NOT BE HAPPY.

"The guy [a/k/a "The Truth Detector"] IS NOT an expert in anything IMHO"

Spoken by the "true" expert who uses the screen name; "TRUTHGUY".

Typical!

OK then, since you stopped counting, your list must contain literally hundreds of such claims. So here's your test:

1. List 20 of the "factually incorrect" statements he's made.

2. Quote 20 of the "idiotic" things he has said.

And please, don't do your google search at Media Matters or DU...........

Rush, in his own admission, is an entertainer. An entertainer who, 95% of the time, I find inspiring and great to listen to. But he’s not infallible.
