Rush Limbaugh is striking back at President Barack Obama.
On Friday, the nation's top-rated radio host hit back at Obama, saying the president isnt telling the truth and doesn't have the support of the American people.
The controversy started Thursday, when Obama used an interview with CBS' Harry Smith to level a broadside at Limbaugh and Fox News host Glenn Beck.
Smith asked Obama if he is aware of the level of enmity that crosses the airwaves and that people have made part of their daily conversation" about him, including being called a Nazi and socialist.
Obama shot back, "Well, I think that when you listen to Rush Limbaugh or Glenn Beck, it's pretty apparent, and it's troublesome, but keep in mind that there have been periods in American history where this kind of vitriol comes out."
The president said, "It happens often when you've got an economy that is making people more anxious, and people are feeling like there is a lot of change that needs to take place. But that's not the vast majority of Americans. I think the vast majority of Americans know that we're trying hard, that I want what's best for the country."
Limbaugh didn't take Obama's comments lightly.
In a response on his radio show, also posted to rushlimbaugh.com, the talk radio king said, Who has called him a Nazi? Who do we know that has called him a Nazi? Socialist? Yeah. Stalinist? Yeah. Marxist? Yeah. Nazi? We have compared healthcare in America to what the Nazis tried to do in Germany and get the control of the people going in that regard.
As for Obamas claim to have the peoples support, The American people do not think that Barack Obama is doing what's best for the country, Limbaugh said.

Well said, Rush.
A minor distinction. Both philosophys are destructive to liberty.
So was Mussalini!!!
All RATs are. That's why they have that mascot.
Typical elitist—Obama mistakenly believes people have to be told how to think; however, we know socialist policies and tyrannical actions when we see them, with or without Limbaugh, Beck or any other media personality.
Well 0bama sure uses lots of tactics and makes plenty of speeches that could have come from Hitler himself.
For example, this Hitler quote coulda come straight from the 0bama playbook:
"Make the lie big, make it simple, keep saying it, and eventually they will believe it."
Adolf Hitler
Pop Quiz: Which of these quotes was said by Hitler and which was said by Obama?
A. our individual salvation depends on collective salvation. Because thinking only about yourself, fulfilling your immediate wants and needs, betrays a poverty of ambition.
B. Our nation can achieve permanent health only from within on the basis of the principle: The common interest before self-interest.
He hasn't heard anything yet. We have just begun to fight! We shall fight them on the beaches, we shall fight them on the airwaves, we shall fight them on the internet, we shall march to Washington D.C., we shall . . .
I have met folks that lie to themselves day to day and I ask them why? No answer. That is the liberal machine.
Does it matter? It’s the same tired old crap seen throughout history. But I would say A was Hitler.
As smart as Zero is supposed to be I can’t believe he hasn’t figured out that this isn’t working for him and only makes him look VERY UN-Presidential—which is already obvious.
I agree with you. I also think Rush has Barry right where he wants him.
Puts Rush and Beck in the same category as the Supreme Court Justices and the Prime Minister of Israel, individuals all publicly spanked by this Commie Loon The Kenyan Dictator. If he could put them all in prison the way Chavez does, he would not hesitate for a second.
I’ll stop now.
I think he has. Why go on the the stump to sell something he has signed into law?
I had a fifty fifty chance. Google "Triumph Of The Will". I have posted doing that several times and am doing it one more time. Many more need to see it.
I must confess to calling Obamao a Nazi, Socialist-Nazi, maybe even a Nazi pig, whatever it takes to define the fascist tyranny that Obamao’s thugs are creating. Rush, to his credit, is far more controlled and considerate than I am.
