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:

Notice ABC isn’t interested in the least as to the veracity of Limbaugh’s claim.

That's because ABC is full of economic ignoramuses as well.

I remember. I'll never forget.

"The voters had a temper tantrum last week. ... ABC World News Tonight anchor Peter Jennings in his daily ABC Radio commentary . . . ."

The ABC employee was defaming conservatives.. we still owe you, ABC!

By Obama’s own admission when he took office in 2009, He knew nothing about finance, including his own.

Here is what happens next: for the next 30 days, Republican candidates will be asked, "Do you agree with Rush Limbaugh that our Dear Reader, Hussein the Prompter Punk, is an ignoramus?"

Wasn't it 0bama who first called someone a "jackass"?

He has also "whipped the bird" several times - once to a woman! (Ok, it was Hillary, she's sort of a woman isn't she?)

Sweet mother of mercy...’American’ Broadcasters of Communism couldn’t find any serious news if it bit them in the *ss...I can’t believe millions of people actually waste 30 minutes of their lives listening to these trained parrots every evening.

Notice how the state media will never quote a full sentence? They construct a sentence of their own interpretation and insert a three word “quote” as if that’s what the target really meant.

Rush was in a discussion of the democrat symbol of the donkey. He investigated and found that donkeys do come originally from horses, and that the current donkeys closet ancestors are the donkeys in africa. He further noted that a MALE DONKEY is called JACK and a female donkey is called a JENNY.

Therefore-uhbama is a jackass- a male donkey, a male democrat. And pelsosi is a jennyass-a female donkey, a female democrat, as it were.

ooooooooooooooooooooh this is such news!

wow....our press is really a lying bunch of idiots.

A bunch of jacks and jenny ASSES.

What? Rush can't speak the truth?

Oh yeah, I forgot, the lamestream media and Obama want free speech killed unless it agrees EXACTLY with what they believe.

...then you can say whatever you like...

>>An Instult to all Equines....<<

Shortly after he said that, a woman called rang up his show and said something like, “I take offense to that because I have a jackass on my property and you have insulted the critter...”

Her call was great. Then, Rush apologized to her and her jackass for the insult. LOL. Rush was great today.

My comment on the site:
We conservatives endured Bush being called "idiot" by left wing bloggers, MSM contributors and analysts, cable news talking heads and JournOListers for eight (8) years!

Bush was called an idiot even after his Harvard transcripts showed his GPA to be higher than Kerry's - both at the SAME SCHOOL!

Now, the MSM screams in unison, as if scripted, at any derogatroy comment directed at their messiah.

Why such a thin skin on you lefties - is Rush hitting a little too close to the bullseye here?
