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:

[E. Pluribus Unum]

This is a play on Obama calling Kanye West a jackass.

What's good for the goose...

[ColdOne]

So true, the problem is WHAT???

[halfright]

as does dung and guano.... :) Good Job!

[Rightly Biased]

OK So Rush was right again

an Economic Jackass is more like it.

Wrong ABC - 'rough stuff' is what happend to Juanita when she said Clinton raped her - and YOU ABC didn't bother to cover it.

'Rough stuff' is what happens when people are beat up by union goons - and YOU ABC don't cover it.(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cFeUhSlHiUQ)

Rough stuff is NOT when a citizen calls a public figure a jackass...

Charlie did worse to Palin - Rather did worse to Bush...

Eff you ABC

ABC sez it, IOW, who cares? What was ABC’s reaction when Whoopie make her x-rated remark about a Republican President? Thanks Sub-Driver.

What does Jack have to do with it?

[Canedawg]

Who are you to say whether it passes MY test?

If a mod overrules me, that’s fine, but it sure won’t be you, Mr. Would-be Censor.

I listened to this, but didn't see anything unusually. Most of my friends have been calling him worse for several months now.

Bottom line, when you don't respect the people, you can't expect them to respect you.

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.”

What part of the statement is incorrect?

[GVnana]

Yep. I heard it. Loved it.

[Never on my watch]

I love it when Rush says: “I am living rent-free in Obama’s head”

[Fast Moving Angel]

Truth is the absolute defense. ~Melvin Belli

[alice_in_bubbaland]

That’s it! LOL!

He said a female name, I just couldn’t remember which one. :)

[RatsDawg]

Didn’t Obama call Kanye West a Jackass?

[4woodenboats]

He ain't saying anything that America isn't in every living room, barber shop, grocery store, and the Grandaddy of Conservative Websites.

Rush ought to send an invitation to Bama to be a guest..if he hurries, he'll clotheline the Invisible Man right in the middle of of a pity party against Rush, and refusing to take on a common tater, when he's been eye to eye with King Fahd's personal dragon would out him as a thin skinned nancy boy.
