Limbaugh blasts ‘pure Marxism’ coming from Pope Francis

[Ichingcarpenter]

On his Wednesday radio show, Rush Limbaugh admitted being “befuddled” by the harsh words about “unfettered capitalism” released this week by Pope Francis.

Noting multiple times that he’s not Catholic — but that he has made several visits to the Vatican, which “couldn’t exist without tons of money” — Limbaugh said that he greatly admired the religion and had been “tempted a number of times to delve deeper into it.”

He also said that up to now he had admired the new pope, if he also thought that Pope Francis was putting on the “common man touch” a bit too thick. “I thought there might have been a little bit of PR involved there,” he said.

But the new pronouncement, the pope’s latest Evangelii Gadium, or Joy of the Gospel, was a surprisingly frontal attack on capitalism, with Francis calling it a form of tyranny.

That didn’t sit well with Limbaugh. “Somebody has either written this for him or gotten to him,” Rush said. “This is just pure Marxism coming out of the mouth of the pope.”

1. The pill-popping Republicon propaganda pimp and draft-dodger-in-chief goes after a Holy Man

How Republicon is that, to piss on the Vicar?

[WinkyDink]

2. This isn't the first time RL has said of opposing views, "Somebody got to him." REVELATIONS OF A

REPUBLICAN INSIDER. THEY are the ones whom others "get to."

[elehhhhna]

14. I blame Jesus. Wait til Rush hears what HE had to say.

Every which way :evil grin:

4. I heard the beginning of this leaving work at noon

He started it with "people are emailing me that the Pope's words have been mistranslated...". He then said that he couldn't fathom that "a document this large could be mistranslated" huh?

He then extrapolated this out to how yes indeed the "worldwide left" could indeed manipulate anything into what ever they want.

This all served as a tease to his traditional "true history of thanksgiving" with excerpts from his new children's book. His "true history" is some of the most incredible history re-writing that you can imagine.

19. "mistranslated" - Rush agreed that might be the case & will be investigating...

Limbaugh is a perverse cult leader that is the center of anything good, true, holy, worthy, pure - hence the true followers: ditto heads who do not question or investigate, because Rush does all that.

Hopefully he might have met his match with this Pope. My close family member is a Limbaugh fan and devote Catholic. It'll be interesting to hear his take.

5. This is why you have right wingers

using terms like "Marxist" for mere regulation or social safety nets.

[maddiemom]

16. Unfortunately for the Right, "Socialism" is not a scary enough word anymore.

[JHB]

25. Not that they've slacked off any at spraying the word "socialism" around.

[Itchinjim]

6. I've known a few Catholics who were "more Catholic than the Pope.."

but now we have non-Catholics like Rush and Palin who are more Catholic than the Pope

[beachbum bob]

7. the more limbaugh bellows the better off we are

as he alienates more americans against the batshit crazies

[Cha]

32. There is a certain comfort in your words. :)

[LuvNewcastle]

8. That's how he operates. He calls someone a 'dirty' word and that's supposed to end the argument.

Once Rush puts his label on somebody, the burden is on them to prove the label is wrong. He does it over and over again, and the sad thing is that it still works on his dittoheads.

[Katashi_itto]

9. Well thats because the average rush listener has the IQ of a turnip...maybe..

[NastyRiffraff]

17. Apologize!

To the turnips of the world.

[Katashi_itto]

27. :)

True turnips are smarter

[alcibiades_mystery]

10. You can be catholic, or you can be a Reaganite

You can't be both.

Word of Gawd, yo. ("Blessed be...etc.&quot

[TBF]

11. Limbo wouldn't know Marxism if it hit him in the ass ...

but it would be a definite improvement over the homelessness and hunger we are seeing in today's world.

Folks like Limbaugh are part of the problem and need to stay out of the way.

[maddiemom]

15. Correct me if I'm wrong, but to my knowledge, "Pure Marixism" has never

been practiced anywhere. It' not such a bad thing.

[TBF]

24. A lot of back and forth about that actually -

you'll have leftists argue that the soviet union had full employment (not bad & I love to talk about how they accepted the sexes as equal and included that in their 1977 constitution) and cuba has the most amazing doctors in the world. Have we got to the type of communism Marx envisioned? I don't think we have. Paris Commune, I think, was probably the closest. Here's a link for those who are unfamiliar: http://www.marxist.com/paris-commune-of-1871.htm

23. +1

12. Next thing you know he'll be saying is that

Michele Bachmann is the Virgin Mary.

[ctsnowman]

18. Awww

someone needs a script refilled.

[Marr]

20. Anyone who listens to Limbaugh and agrees with him would hate Jesus and the things he's

supposed to have said.

It's actually kind of funny that the American right wing is now more dependent on people not actually reading the Bible than is the Catholic Church.

[Electric Monk]

21. Rush, why do you hate the teachings of Jesus? nt

[CANDO]

22. Gush Limpjaw

The cons I argue with hate how I refer to him.

[Berlum]

26. Pure Corporate Spew (R)

Draft dodger Limbaugh is helping his republican cronies lead the charge to take food from the mouths of the poor.

[nyquil_man]

28. He was "tempted to delve deeper into it," but never did.

Yep. That's Limbaugh to a T.

I guess his ass pimples were bothering him on the day temptation struck.

[struggle4progress]

29. I'd rather reread Evangelii Gadium than think about Rush's latest attempt to gain attention

[ck4829]

30. "SOCIALISM! RUN!" just not doing it for the righties anymore?

"PURE MARXISM! RUN!", that's going to run out of steam as well, what then?

[Cha]

31. Imagine this if you will..

Someone has a national popular radio show that Blasts stupid utterances coming from viagra-oxycontin laced cigarhead. The whole country laughs hysterically waitng with bated breath for the next utterance from the cigar hole.

[Bolo Boffin]

33. Yep, pure Marxism.

All the believers were one in heart and mind. No one claimed that any of their possessions was their own, but they shared everything they had.

Acts 4:32 - pure Marxism.
