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:

” an “economic illiterate” and an “idiot, where capitalism is concerned.”

Obama is not a capitalist. He is a socialist. All his socialist friends gathering at the mall made this point.

He was right on. “Our imam-child” is indeed a jackass. But not only about economics.

As for Bambi...I hope the celestial vacuum cleaner comes and sweeps him up before he destroys us all.

If I didn’t know better, I would think that Mr. Limbaugh is trying to make a statement.

Clearly not something you would find in a modern day republican - (metrosexual). Someone who has been beaten and berated for all their life and have their brain trained to not defend yourself from the politically correct.

Pretty mild compared to some of the things I call the a**hole in the White House ....

Most kids learn at some point that everything that pops into their heads doesn’t need to come out their mouths.

It’s just a matter of respect for the Office. Sometimes the truth is so obvious that it doesn’t need to be spoken, and that was probably true in this case.

Come on, Rush, don't use namby-pamby words. Tell us how you really feel.

Well we need to stop calling Barack - Barack. We need simply to start calling him Balaam Balaam in the Old Testament in Numbers 22, was a Gentile whom was called by God, but Balaam turned from God and God’s Will (reversionism). Balaam in Hebrew is derived from two words balu - to swallow, destroy, and ‘am - the people = destroyer of people, nation In Numbers Balaam’s jackass (jenny) strived to get him to go in a different path because an angel with a sword was in the road. Balaam beat the jenny donkey. Finally the docile jenny donkey spoke up and confronted Balaam.

The similarity it that people of America, are speaking up. and yet Balaam refuses to hear, change direction and Balaam needs a donkey to speak up to him. Because the real Jackass is Balaam Obama. He is an ass that needs to hear from the Jackasses to change his direction. He is not in God’s will and he could be deemed for destruction

The only thing I would dioffer with is that Obama is not illeterate...he knows EXACTLY what he is doing as the Imam Hussein Obama. He is leading the fundamental change he promised, and doing so with a will.

But America is awakening and the Imam Obama will lose.

Just simply, “the north end of a south bound Jackass would be more accurate”.

Nope. One of Rush's listeners called in, complaining, about Rush's insult to jackasses. As any farm boy knows, the jackass is father to the mule, a hardworking, no-nonsense farm animal.
