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 Limbaughs tone today may have struck the ears of regular listeners as particularly disdainful, taking his contempt of the president to a new level.
The nations 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 presidents 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 Obamas remarks at a meeting of his Economic Recovery Advisory Board that the wealthy would take our ball and go home if their tax cuts arent extended.
Limbaugh then addressed the following line to the president directly:

"Jackass" is a pejorative that implies ignorance and foolishness. Obama has neither of these characteristics.
He knows exactly what he's doing, and is quite satisfied with the intended outcomes (although the intensity of the information push-back from the Internet, not covered by Marx or Alinsky's writings, has surprised him).

Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.

Judging by their incredibly lackluster ratings, there aren’t many who do.
Rush was decidedly and refreshingly blunt. Loved the fastest three hours in media even more than I normally do.

"The stupidity on display via the comments at the bottom of the attached article is just down right depressing." I read a few of those comments. What can one expect from people who watch and believe what they see on ABC News?

The jackass is the symbol of his party.

Bush was called worse by the loony left.
Desperation has set in, the libs know they are toast, so they're going to do the usual: not run on any accomplishments(because they don't have any), so they're gonna pull out all of their old bogeymen(ie, conservatives are meanies,etc.).
To: Sub-Driver
93 comments and no Rush haters?
A new record. We must be winning them over.

For clarity, Rush called the Imam an economic Jack ass.
As in, the Imam does not understand economics.
And, Rush was (and is) right.
