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:

This is all tame compared to calling Zero a “man-child” (my personal fav). There aren’t too many insults worse than that.

Redux:

I'll keep shouting it from the rooftops, and it applies to all RATs:

That's not a donkey...it's a JACKASS! (by tradition)

Obama, all Congressional RAT cauci past and present, the Clintons, the contemporary Kennedys, Jesse Jackass, Carter, LBJ, FDR, all the way back to Andrew Jackson Jackass, namesake/mascot for the RAT party...all JACKASSES!

Throw it down Rush, educate the public, and redefine the Democratics for what they really are.

Comparing Obama to a Jackass does a disservice to Jackass's everywhere. Rush must have Racist tendencies towards Donkeys.

Big deal.

How many show pundits bashed and insulted George Bush directly?

Gimme a break.

I always liked Bob Tyrell's reference to Bill Clinton as the Boy President.

Kudos to ABC for quoting Rush accurately. For once. May this become the new normal.

This is an outrageous insult to jackasses and equidae in general. The modern Mark Twain (aka Limbaugh) has overstepped the line of decency by insulting not just jackasses, but the world of non-primates.

Um.....what’s the problem?

This was one of many quotes Rush took issue with, especially the one where he said the rich were not holding off buying a flat screen because of their tax cuts not being extended. Fine example of how these morons believe the consumer based economy is still a good thing. To them it is about quick political points, not recovery.

Sorry, but he is an economic ignoramus.

Duh? As Captain Obvious would say.
Not just Rush L, but plenty others have been noticing the same economic tin hear of Mr. Obama.
Obama, like any good leftist, does not let reality or facts get in the way of the indoctrination of his youth.

Obama is a monument to the success of belief over reality/fact.

And consequently, is unable to change.

Great encapsulation; well said.

Your synopsis basically describes what happened to Russia from the rise of the Bolsheviks to the crumbling of the Soviet Union.

Total failure, because what Marxism completely discounts is the importance of the human Creative Spirit, something endowed from God....and, of course, being atheists- something they totally ignore at their own peril.

Rise of the proletariat? How about the rise of the Children of God? You ain't seen nothin' yet, Lord Zero.

They think this is more newsworthy than reporting on the truck circling their NY city office with a sign demanding they report the truth.

Some may disagree, but this is a clear example of bias to me.
