Watch Jon Stewart Tell Off Rush Limbaugh: #F*@KYOURUSH

[a kennedy]

Anyone see this?? I've got it taped.....

Jon Stewart set Twitter on fire Monday night and into Tuesday morning with a message for Rush Limbaugh: #F*@KYOURUSH.

Stewart featured a report on the Boko Haram terrorists holding more than 200 schoolgirls hostage in Nigeria, and the #BringBackOurGirls campaign on Twitter in support of efforts to save them.

But on his radio show, the conservative host ripped the effort, even calling a photo of First Lady Michelle Obama with a #BringBackOurGirls sign "pathetic."

And that prompted Stewart into an epic takedown of Limbaugh.

"You know what Rush, you're right," Stewart said. "Sometimes the world has to choose sides."

Showing a photo of Malala Yousufzai with a #BringBackOurGirls sign and one of Rush, he gave viewers a chance to choose sides.

"So that's our choice: Malala or Rush -- the quivering rage heap who is apparently desperately trying to extinguish any remaining molecule of humanity that might still reside in the Chernobyl-esque superfund cleanup site that was his soul," said Stewart. "Who should we choose? Well I don't know, why don't we tweet our votes to hashtag #F*@KYOURUSH."

1. I don't get how people can listen to Rush. A minute or two is

all I can stand of his propaganda before changing channels.

Good for Stewart!

3. It takes a mighty stupid person to listen to that drivel

Stupid Stupid Stupid. No other word to use here

16. in most parts of the US there are no free alts for politics while driving and working and

may be the clearest signal for news and weather and sports. it's classic psyops. they bought up a talk radio monopoly of 1000 stations and put him on 600. many of those stations are going to be the loudest ones in every state, and in case of emergency.

if you're interested in getting some free current events and politics before going home to relax, in most parts of the US he and his wannabes are all there is.

here's a list of 70+ colleges that broadcast sports on 170+ limbaugh stations https://sites.google.com/site/universitiesforrushlimbaugh/

so they basically rent their sports mascots to endorse him and the 450 other fascist blowhards that vomit think tank-scripted lies from those stations. one of their main works the last 25 years is to defund and privatize those same colleges and attack their teachers and unions!

back to the main point-

there's the other important reason some people listen to him: he has the royal certitude. according to the psych studies, conservatives/authoritarians/fascists have an irrational need to avoid uncertainty and since nothing is certain they're always afraid. certainty eases the fear and becomes more important than truth. in the authoritarian power dynamic, the "i'm never wrong" royal/dictator certitude that limbaugh has and creates, which requires a lot of denial of reality, is great for selling lies.

the easily altered behavior that creates that civilization-ending dynamic and would largely eliminate that authoritarian problem is explained here:

20. Yes, psyops.

19. Rush Limbaugh is for those conservative haters who already have thier minds made up...

I have 2 family members who listen to the guy. One is a proactive right-winger who listens to Rush like some people go to church. The other has his garage radio tuned to him 24 hours a day. Sometimes they smugly like to bring up points from his show, as if they were clever revelations. When in reality, it's just anti-liberal BS. It's sad actually. The closed conservative mind is like a cancer.

2. Stewart is spot on yet once again

This guy is an American Treasure if ever there is such a thing.
Bravo Jon

21. really really a treasure. I thank the Almighty Dog, all the Saints,

and the powers that did and still be creating Jon Stewart.
If mankind survives, he will be one of the main reasons.

Laughter and Truth love each other. It is quite a
beautiful story.

4. The only Rush worth listening to

is the band from Canada.

5. idk if they still are but they were big ayn rand fans

"begging hands and bleeding hearts will only cry out for more"

[Mike Daniels]

7. I think Neil Peart (the lyricist) has disavowed his Rand phase

I believe he said some time back that his simply outgrew that type of thinking.

[reflection]

8. it was only Neil,

and he calls himself a "bleeding-heart libertarian" now. His views, while quite individualistic, have softened a lot. Still, if I were to share the proverbial beer with any of them it would be Alex.

[mac56]

9. Agreed.

They have definitely moved past Neil's Ayn Rand crush.

10. I am very happy for that, too.

I'm such a huge fan it almost can't be exaggerated. Seen them over 30 times and even traveled overseas just to catch some extra shows. Hell, my kids have seen them at least 5 times too. If they were still advocating Randian nonsense I'd have trouble separating the art from the artist.

6. Saw it live

Did laugh!!

[Agschmid]

12. Why do you think Rush would win?

Stewart is a loser anyways...

Apparently due to multiple replies I need to add this:

[lame54]

13. ???

[sunnystarr]

15. WHOA.....

[B Calm]

14. Hell just about anybody could beat Rush in a FAIR DEBATE!

[lpbk2713]

18. He would be entering a battle of wits unarmed.

[JoePhilly]

17. Does Jabba the Rush ever leave his underground lair?

[WhiteTara]

22. Made me want to create a twitter account

just so I could add mine voice to the chorus.

23. When the bull hits your eye, like a big pizza pie

Sing to the tune of 'That's Amore' (pr: ah more ay) once sung by dean martin:

When - the - BULL hits your eye like a bigga pizza pie,
That's a Limbaugh;
When you start to feel blue too much goofy lagoo,
That's a Limbaugh;
Bells go ring, ding a ling a ling, and your head starts to spin, a capella,
It's your due, cause you do, listen to the,
Stupid Fella;
When the bull hits your eye like a bigga pizza pie,
THAT'S A LIMBAUGH!!!

Oh, also an unrelated spinoff from my navy days, same tune:

When you're out on the sea, & an eel's what you see,
That's, a MORAY!
