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:

Clearly, Limbaugh must be muzzled for this egregious hate speech demeaning the majesty of Our Leader.

Over to you, Keith Olbermann.

Failing to see the problem here...

Likewise.

The spewage from Air America (and Mike Malloy, in particular) during the George W. Bush years doesn't compare to Limbaugh's rather tame characterization of the UIC.

Nah, I doubt they tuned in. They probably got the quotes from MediaMatters.

Well, he could have said the Southeren end of a North bound donkey but “Jackass” will do just fine.

The stupidity on display via the comments at the bottom of the attached article is just down right depressing.

... particularly disdainful, ...

It would be easy to add loathing and disgust to mere disdain. obama is destined to rank right up there with clymer. The euphemism-in-chief.

LOL! What a bunch of tools they are!

He was giving us examples of the true definition of jackass, a male burro. A female is a judyass...something like that.

Nasty Pelousy a judyass

Harry the Body a jackass

Barack Obummer a jackass

Bawney Fwank a judy/jackass.

It's an insult to jackasses. A jackass carried Mary the Mother of Jesus to Bethlehem, and another one carried Jesus into Jerusalem during the final Passover week.

B. Hussein Obama can't even pick up the tab for his brother's hut in Kenya.

Yeah, but since he was talking about Kanye West nobody really minded. :)

ABC’s Joy Behar: Bush Administration ‘Liars’ and ‘Murderers’

Token non-liberal Elisabeth Hasselbeck tried to insert some common sense and stated that “some fringe liberals are taking this to a place to where we’re losing sight on the issue here.” Behar, who just called the Bush administration, “liars” and “murderers” adamantly denied she’s a “fringe liberal” and said it’s “name calling.”

I agreed with the woman caller who came in later and said she was offended because it slammed jackasses. A jackass can do a lot of good, hard work. In that respect Obama ain’t no jackass.
