Limbaugh: "Their goal is to use the big media and the law to stop me!"

[owillis]

Limbaugh opened fire on Harkin, MMFA: "Their goal is to use the big media and the law to stop me!"

Reacting to a unanimous resolution by the U.S. Senate calling on the Pentagon to ensure fairness and balance on American Forces Radio and Television Service (AFRTS), Rush Limbaugh -- the only partisan radio host carried on the taxpayer-funded service -- on his June 17 show (click here for transcript pdf) misrepresented the resolution; assailed resolution sponsor Senator Tom Harkin (D-IA): "e's lying through his teeth about what was said on this program about the prison abuse scandal"; and trashed Media Matters for America as one of the "middle finger appendages of the Democratic Party."

2. Another one above the law - is it indigenous or what?

[bluestateguy]

3. I certainly hope so!

I make no bones about wanting to stop Limbaugh.

[terrya]

4. Could Rush please stop whining about his "persecution"?

Maybe we should buy him a crucifix so he can play the martyr role to the hilt.

[smirkymonkey]

31. Nail 'im up, I say....

Mr. Piggy's whining is wearing pretty thin. :evilgrin:

5. Common sense SHOULD have stopped him! n/t

[Politicub]

9. Rush, please do get off that cross

Somebody else needs the wood.

[daa]

10. Mr responsiblitly never

[gasperc]

11. Rush, this is your brain on Oxycotin

sizzle

[Tosca]

12. Mr Brock of MMFA

I love you.

[wroberts189]

22. Ill second that

[Tosca]

33. What's so beautiful

is that Brock knows the right-wing scam game so well that he is a clear and present danger to their shenanigans.

Thank Whoever he woke up and now is out to expose the lyin' bastids.

[Jabbery]

13. Limbaugh: Spiders and millipedes are chasing me!

Oh god, get them off of me! Auuggh! They're chasing me! I need a pill! I need a pill! Auugghh!

[stevedeshazer]

25. Beautiful

That cartoon pretty much sums it up.

[luaneryder]

15. Weee,weee, weee all the way home!

I signed the Media Matter petition and emailed AFN to let them know how partisan they were being by putting that fatf* on the air. AFN mailed me back saying they used him becasue it was free. Lame excuse. I'm sure Al Franken would supply AFN with his show gratis if they asked him because he really does support the troops. Unlike pigboy who's only in it for the bucks. Hopefully, his slide to anonymity (or to hell) has begun.

[bucknaked]

16. Delusions of Grandeur

Please, somebody give him his fix!

[Just Me]

18. Somebody,...HELP him,...such that he can do NO more harm!!!

Somebody, somebody help this man who unleashes hate and violence on this country's people.

SOMEBODY HELP THIS MAN!!!

[lazarus]

17. hee hee

so he admits that fairness doesn't exist, and would stop him?

Hilarious.

[shoelace414]

19. I like this

Make no mistake about it. And they're all in existence to help Hillary. They're all run, or controlled by, or influenced by the Clintonoids and their supporters. The Clintons have long, long, shall we say, had a problem with me.

:tinfoilhat:

Yes.. it's all Hillary!

[former conservative]

20. Rush did drugs.

Yeah, him doing drugs kinda belies his credibility.

[merh]

29. welcome to DU!

:hi:

[Philostopher]

26. It's the VAST

LEFT-WING CONSPIRACY!!!

How incredibly unimaginative.

So much fun was had by this asshole at the expense of people like Hil saying there was a right-wing conspiracy to destroy the Clinton family ... he can't even come up with an original description of his own paranoia. At least he could claim it's the gray aliens or the Illuminati or Bob Dobbs or something, sheesh.

[geek tragedy]

21. Bwwwaaaaahaaaaaaaa!

I wonder if Oxy makes one addicted to tinfoil.

A right-wing rich motherfucker whose HUGE radio empire includes the taxpayer radio bitching about BIG MEDIA?

[radfringe]

23. geeee -- can you say paranoid schizophrenia?

they're all out to get me!!!

Paranoid Schizophrenia http://www.healthsquare.com/mc/fgmc2415.htm
(bolded the signs Rush is showing.... he's got 7 out of 13 signs that I am aware of)

WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW
Schizophrenia (SKITS-oh-FREEN-ee-uh)---one of the most damaging of all mental disorders---causes its victims to lose touch with reality. They often begin to hear, see, or feel things that aren't really there (hallucinations) or become convinced of things that simply aren't true (delusions). In the paranoid form of this disorder, they develop delusions of persecution or personal grandeur. The first signs of paranoid schizophrenia usually surface between the ages of 15 and 34. There is no cure, but the disorder can be controlled with medications. Severe attacks may require hospitalization.

Causes
The causes of schizophrenia are still under debate. A chemical imbalance in the brain seems to play a role, but the reason for the imbalance remains unclear. We do know that you're a bit more likely to become schizophrenic if you have a family member with the illness. Stress does not cause schizophrenia, but can make the symptoms worse.

Signs/Symptoms
Schizophrenia usually develops gradually, although onset can be sudden. Friends and family often notice the first changes before the victim does. Among the signs are:

Confusion
Inability to make decisions
Hallucinations
Changes in eating or sleeping habits, energy level, or weight
Delusions
Nervousness
Strange statements or behavior
Withdrawal from friends, work, or school
Neglect of personal hygiene
Anger
Indifference to the opinions of others
A tendency to argue
A conviction that you are better than others, or that people are out to get you

28. Yep

He is clearly on the edge. I wonder if his addiction specialist is listening to this stuff? He should be readmitting Lush to the clinic after this outburst.

[silverweb]

42. Quick!

Send the Mental Health Police to "help" him!

:silly:

[laylah]

48. Maybe HE should be the first

screened under Dumbass's new mental health initiative?

[underpants]

24. WE ARE A NATION OF LAWS!!!!!!!!!!!

Sound familiar pighead?

[former conservative]

32. I have actually listened to him before.

My parents are conservative, and I was also. I am 17 right now, and up until a few years ago, I used to be conservative. I then began to see the error of my ways, and I began drifting to the left. I still have a few conservative ideas, but I am becoming more enlightened with each passing day.

[SheepyMcSheepster]

34. i usually catch some of his show 3 or 4 times a week.

i don't know why i just like listening to the guy and trying to figure out if he beleives everything he says.

when i was in highschool, we used to get out for lunch and i would go home and watch him on TV when he had a show. at the time i really didn't see that he was so partisan, at the time i thought he was just making fun of general 'politicians'.

of course now, it is blatatnly obvious what he does.

anyway welcome to DU former conservative!

[Tosca]

36. Oh, you cutie!

{smooch}

Will you be able to vote for Kerry in November?

[JohnnyFianna1]

45. There is nothing wrong with conservative ideas!!!

49. Welcome to DU

30. I just sent Media Matters this quote from bush*'s speech Wednesday

which was carried live on at least CNN and Fox...

"Today in Iraq, more than 170 newspapers are being published, and I saw the other day that they've even got talk radio. I don't know if they've contacted Rush yet."
http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2004/06/20040616-4.html

That's bush* plugging Rush on national TV. That's screwed up.

[daa]

35. Shrubs two biggest cheerleaders

Cocaine Larry and OxyRush.

[playahata1]

39. Who is "Cocaine Larry"?

n/t

[playahata1]

40. I just remembered something: Is "Cocaine Larry"

LAWRENCE KUDLOW?

[daa]

50. yes nt

[Scairp]

37. Just looked @the Congressional Record

Sen. Harkin does not call for Lush's show to be pulled, only that another point of view should be offered to balance out his "extreme right-wing views". This is nothing less than what the DoD reg. covering American Forces Radio calls for. Pigboy is yelling about nothing. What, is he afraid his views can't stand up to an opposing opinion? He is truly and completely off his rocker. And of course, it's all the Clinton' fault. As usual, his deep obsession with them is driving his manic rantings. :crazy:

Anyway, here is a link to the record for June 16th, where Sen. Harkin talks about this matter. It's about 3/4 of the way down the page.

43. Rush likes to play the victim...

And it's all--the Clintons' fault!

[Bandit]

38. Listening to Pigboy squeel is music to my ears

It will really make my day when the judge says "Guilty as Charged"

[Manix]

41. ..only the dittohead imbeciles listen to this has been hack.

[PROGRESSIVE1]

46. Well, these Nazis had no problem with removing Howard Stern...

47. Hey Pigboy!

Kiss my Democratic :dem:, you low-life slob!

Jenn

[union_maid]

51. He's really nuts

All that Hillary stuff..he's off the deep end. I knew the rightwingnuts had some kind of fixation with Hillary, but this is just..it's like something you'd hear at the end of a psychodrama, when the main character just completely reveals the depths of his illness.

[disinfo_guy]

52. is he hopped up on drugs still?

this pill popper needs some help
