Rush Limbaugh on impeachment: We are watching pure, raw hatred



The Fox News take on impeachment is hilariously detached from reality...
The second half of the segment is all Limbaugh hocking winking racist merch.

Does anybody else find the sound of Rush Limbaugh's voice invoking the mental picture of a sneering cartoon pig?

his stations are KKK-lite. he's been on 600 radio stations 5 days a week excusing racism for 30 years his dittohead listeners (teabags, trumpers) can't call his show because he takes very few calls and most of those are probably paid callers (recently probably from the kremlin) so they call whatever local hosts they can to make sure everyone agrees with their god

that includes 20 years of anti immigrant hate used to sell the meme that dems are letting 'illegal aliens' and helping them vote illegally

... but of course that's not what he means. Passing it off as personal hatred of Trump is just the most simple-minded way of ignoring reality, and Limbaugh knows how desperate Republicans are for that now. The irony is that Limbaugh has gotten very, very rich by promoting personal hatred of liberals as a simple-minded way of avoiding issues. And it was a deliberate attempt to irrevocably divide the nation in hopes of ending up with the bigger half.

leads the whole thing

because he's the real leader of the republican party and ignoring him is why we're in this shit. there's a reason trump played golf with him the day after the mueller report came out and paraded his palm beach neighbor around - those senators are not afraid of trump, they're afraid of limbaugh.

all dems have to do is figure that out and start the protests and boycotts that will put him out of business so the GOP senators can see the attack dog running away. they need those stations to get reelected. he and those local blowhards who have to parrot him to keep their jobs will be the ones pushing their primary challengers

he's pushing putin's propaganda and has been for at least 10 years since he broke with the GOP establishment and wouldn't support mccain until he picked russian friendly palin. manafort was the campaign cochair.

in 2008 he was the guy who sold climategate and stopped obama at copenhagen after a russiaan hack and wikileaks - saving putin years of fossil fuel revenues

2011 he sold debt default and got the sequester

he pilots 600 of the loudest radio stations in the country and the other 1000 have to follow his lead

Won't subject myself to watching or listening to this dope!

Just as I refused to click on a link that popped up on my browser home page a couple days ago: the cartoonish cartoonist behind Dilbert was offering tips on how to tone down the heated language during the holiday season, (according to the headline). Scott Adams can bite me crank! Ever since he threw his support to Canteloupe Caligula in 2016, I have boycotted everything he has said or scrawled for publication.

high level elected officials and their appointees, racism, putting personal self-gain above the nation's interests, aiding and abetting our nation's enemies; not to mention incompetence, misplaced arrogance, offensive and repulsive behavior, and sheer idiocy! The list could go on ... and on Limphuck!!

People of a 'certain type' hate Trump for no reason, it's not fair, they should stop it! They don't have my permission! Trump could be great if people just went along . . . . etc.

Shame on Fox for giving this cretin air time.

No one hates Trump. There is DISDAIN, maybe some PITY, certainly some LAUGHTER, and a lot of 'WTF is he thinking?' going on.
And a touch of 'Get out of the way you bozo, let a competent person do the job instead before things get much worse.'

But Limpbranch is referring to irrational hate, pathological hatred, and there is none of that.

People who truly hate Trump do it for a whole 10 page long list of reasons. All good ones.

Yet totally self-oblivious in accusations of "pure raw hatred" from "Schiff... pencil-neck... and Pelosi going bug-eyed." Images of the utterly vapid bullies I've ever encountered watching, reacting with infantile laughter flash through my head, doubly oblivious to their long-stoked, vile loathing.
