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 the perfect example of a lefty “journalist” trying to motivate the base. Expect the left-wing journolistas to start putting Rush out there daily.

It's okay for Obama to call someone a jackass but it is not okay for us mere mortals to call him a jackass. Rush chose his words wisely!

truth to power!

I don’t think Zero likes the indirect reference to his ears............

And today, just now, he called the entire administration jackasses. He finally got it right. ;o)

[Ancient Drive]

true. he really ripped into them today! lol *back to listening to Rush*

[Force of Truth]

Perhaps not. But, Rush has credibility. Savage? Not!!

I'll agree with that, but Savage is certainly a fighter.

[chooseascreennamepat]

Now the ASSES are POed!

It’s okay Rush, I think most say much worse all the time when they endure statist BS. My opinion is that you have been guarded in your remarks to the man-child and his followers.

I don't really care about it. My point was that censorship, the nature of your making the 'call' on whether 'crap' passed your test, is ludicrous. Read, don't read, it's your choice, don't be offended by words, you'll get apoplectic

[Verbosus]

The first post I see - and that says it all!

Who DOESN’T think he’s a jackass?
