Limbaugh Calls President Obama a 'Jackass'

October 05, 2010 3:03 PM

Portnoy ABC News’ Steven Portnoy reports:

Derision of the president on his program is nothing new, but Rush Limbaugh’s tone today may have struck the ears of regular listeners as particularly disdainful, taking his contempt of the president to a new level.

The nation’s preeminent conservative talk radio host referred to Mr. Obama as a “jackass,” an “economic illiterate” and an “idiot, where capitalism is concerned.”

The rough stuff came during a monologue on the president’s position on extending the Bush tax cuts to all but the top two percent of wage earners.

Obama, Limbaugh says, is an "economic ignoramus" for not understanding how a "tax increase" on the wealthy won't stimulate growth.

Quoting an AP article from yesterday, Limbaugh pointed out Obama’s remarks at a meeting of his Economic Recovery Advisory Board that the wealthy would “take our ball and go home” if their tax cuts aren’t extended.

Limbaugh then addressed the following line to the president directly:

Reader comment at source article:

“It is astonishing and eye-opening to see such a huge majority of ABC readers in complete agreement with Rush. It is apparent that even the readers of this largely liberal news source are certain that Obama is dragging the country down the drain. The mid-term elections will rightly be the greatest rebuke imaginable for the president. America has sobered up.”

LOL! This is one of the replies from the comments below the article:

“Rush Limbaugh called Obama a jackass. Obama called Kanye a jackass. Ergo, Rush Limbaugh called Kanye a jackass.

Clearly, Rush hates rap music.”

That’s right. The secret service and fbi would be knocking at doors all across America everyday if people really expressed their thoughts on the evil bastard.

Hey, Zero would pour more stimulus dollars into hiring more Feds for just such a task. And he’d call it a jobs program!

So this is “news” to ABC “News”?

Of all the crazy crap the left says that only gets reported on blogs and the like . . . yet a national broadcast finds this “newsworthy”?

Incredible

But, but, but... dumbo is a JACKASS and an Ignoramus and on top of all that he is a screaming RACIST MARXIST.

Limbaugh is just once again telling the truth.

Sorry Pookie that it makes you feel bad.

I wonder if he’s advertising the upcoming Jackass 3D movie to his audience. I’m not sure he’s doing a good job of it since watching someone stapling their scrotum to their leg may have some entertainment value, but associating it with Zero might scare viewers away since they dont want to see actual jackasses ruining their lives.

“...may have struck the ears of regular listeners as particularly disdainful”

Then again, maybe not. Does ABC actually think that regular listeners of Rush do not consider 0bama to be a jackass?...LOL!

Rush forgets that zero’s desire to raise taxes on the “rich” arises from his Marxist philosophy that drives his every move. It has nothing to do with established economic principles. He doesn’t know or care about them. They are completely irrelevant. He has openly stated that the “wealthy” should be taxed more because it isn’t “fair” that they have more. In other words, the “wealthy” people should have their money taken from them for no purpose other than it isn’t fair that they have more than others. How hard they worked for it and the risks and years of struggling they underwent to get it is irrelevant - a non-starter. That’s why these people don’t believe people should be promoted in their jobs or given raises for doing exceptional work and showing initiative, meaning merit pay. It’s also the reason why they believe unions are right to protect workers fired for not doing their jobs satisfactorily and that promotions should be based strictly on seniority. They think everyone is owed a job and nobody is owed anything extra for excellence and conscientiousness. Tax hikes for the rich, no merit pay for excellence, nobody ever being fired no matter how lazy or incompetent they are - it’s all part and parcel of the Marxist ideology and that is what drives zero’s every belief and decision.

I don't think Obama is interested in stimulating the economy. People are so droll when they think about Obama in conventional ways. I do not think there is any part of his thinking about The USA that is in the mode of an American politician.

I think he is mainly interested in getting money into the coffers that he controls as quickly as possible, most likely to siphon off into his own accounts and venues. The destruction of America is a bonus as we are systematically being brought down to a level of power that will not be able to stand in the way of a one world government. Most likely his desire is to amass huge amounts of money and power so that he or at least his like can use it to eventually control and rule the world.

Until people realize this they will not be able to understand him and he will more likely continue to financially rape America and rob us of our heritage, that of being free people. Hopefully he and his backing can yet be stopped or at least held back for a time as we know that one day and probably very soon the antiChirst will come upon the world scene. How The USA will play into world history at that time is being debated. Maybe how we conduct ourselves now will decide the role we play in the end of this age.
