(CNN) – Radio host Rush Limbaugh said Monday that President Obama is “frightened of me.”
“He’s obviously more frightened of me than he is [Senate Minority Leader] Mitch McConnell,” Limbaugh told listeners. “He’s more frightened of me, then he is of say, [House Minority Leader] John Boehner, which doesn’t say much about our party.”
Limbaugh’s comments followed reports Obama warned GOP congressional leaders last week that they should stop listening to the conservative talker, who had said on air he wanted the new president to fail.
"Now this is the great unifier," he told listeners Monday. "This is the man who's going to unify everybody and usher in a new era of bipartisanship and love."
White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs gave reporters the administration's latest message to Limbaugh at Monday's press briefing: "Tell him I said, 'Hi,'" he joked.

Frightened Limbaugh will eat him.
Limburger is a tool plain and simple.
Please clown scared of you?? Put you hand down pill popping clown no one cares what you think. Keep running your mouth Republicans will be gone forever!!!
Oh yes please Rush keep talking, it is AMAZING how the republicans don't realize WHY they lost- Sad- if I were a republican
Rush Limbaugh is a joke. He must be popping pills again
who the hack this idiot, drug abuser think he is? Give me a break the one you are taking this days has actually made you insaine for real
Obama is not afraid of Limbaugh. He appeared in front of millions of americans. He wouldnt be afraid of one man. Obama wants to remind people that the way to the future, isnt through Limbaugh.
RUSH... RUSH.... RUSH...
President Obama scared of you?
HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! Put the pills down buddy.........
Gee, Rush, maybe he doesn't want people listening to you, because you don't care one bit about the United States of America. If this adminsitration fails, where does that leave the country? Oh I know you don't care, because you are too rich to care. However, if this country fails, we are all in trouble. Something tells me Al Jazeera or Radio Free China isn't going to give you a show of your own. So, unless you want to keep your day job and be an obnoxious lying blowhard for the next 8 years, you better hope we succeed as a nation.
Oh, and Rush, by the way, how does Senator Al Franken feel? The man who called you a big fat idiot in a popular book will soon be a Senator. That's gotta hurt. Hopefully it doesn't hurt you so badly you need to go back on the pain pills. After all, being an addict would only hurt your "credibility", wouldn't it
LUCIFER....
Mr loud mouth idiot, I guess you and your ignorant bunch of listeners must be feeling important now... Load of trash....
Who born goat? Limbaugh should go get a life. He desperately needs one. I haven't heard anyone say he has a wife or kids. May be he needs some to love him.
Get over yourself, Limbaugh!!!
You're nothing more than an egotistical, pompous, drug abusing.... IDIOT!!!
And, after this, I don't want to hear one more word about "patriotism" from the far-right. Hoping that the new president fails IS NOT patriotic!
Rush Limbaugh needs the AX. The term so fondly used in the radio biz. In a time when our country needs to be united he is a disgrace to all broadcasters and basically all Americans.
It's his turn to JUST GO AWAY.
Times have changed Mr. Limbaugh and you are not part of the change.
Rush Limpballs is the disgusting face of the modern republican party. Who would be afraid of this hypocritical drug addict who travels to Haiti by himself with enough Viagra to erect a hundred corpulent republican losers.
Fact: Rush Limbaugh went to the Dominican Republic, a known haven for sex tourists, with someone else's Viagra. No need to say anything else.
I put drug users like you in jail Rush...You are a complete waste
of air !!
Obama *afraid*?? Of your pompous a$%??
In your dreams, loser
Limbaugh is anti-american and should be departed to iran where he can be be-headed and then stoned!
Wow. How completely self-important and delusional. Limbaugh is really the Ellsworth Toohey of our day.
Rush, Rush, Rush (exhaling while shaking my head) . . . .
Still vying for relevance when there is none to be had. You are just a modern day Morton Downey, Jr.
GOP Senators shouldn't waste their time listening to him. If Rush had meaningful solutions to America's problems at any time over the last 8 years the party wouldn't be in the state it is in now. His green envy of Obama shows everytime he opens his mouth.
"...who had said on air he wanted the new president to fail."
Correction – He said 'IF, Obama was going to achieve his agenda with socialistic policies, then 'yes' I want him to fail. If he does it in a conservative or moderate and effective manner, then I hope he succeeds."
Nice parsing of the interview....
by the way, Rush is dead right on this 'stimulis' bill being nothing but democrat pork spending and will have no REAL effect on the immediate job market. Tax cuts do... as history has repeatedly proven.
A moron is on the loose
I wonder who is taking this grade 12 radio talk show seriously
stop giving this moron, nazi and kkk air time
Of course Barack is afraid of you. Next to Satan you are the step-father of all lies. I have studied your remarke vis a vie the truth. You should be ashamed, but then again pride is a deadly sin. Snake!
The only way Obama's scared of you is if you were going to sit on him, you tubby drug-addict moron. Go away. Just go away.
Will someone please tell this obese demagogue to shut the hell up? Oh, that's right, he actually has millions of idiotic people that actually LISTEN to what he has to say. How pathetic.
Rush it sounds like you are one of the bigest racits that this country has. You know what goes around comes around. Perhaps you should of listened to Dr. Kings speech maybe you would learn a thing or two. I take it that you are a Sarah lover. Did you ever realize that all her hate speeches is what made Mccain loose the election.
Limbaugh must be off his meds. He needs to take one of his pills. If he wants President Obama to fail, that means the country fails, which includes him.
Seems rather awkward to turn the media machine on a radio talk show host. Obama shouldnt be afraid of anyone unless he has reason to be. If you have nothing to hide why be afraid. Ol dummy Bush at least didnt sit around crying about the lefty conspiracy against him. Either he was genuinely so far above his detractors that they didnt exist or so arrogant he didnt care. Obama cannot, in any century, not be accused of being meek and lowly, so he may have cause for concern. Especially if the likes of Hannity and Limbaugh get inside his noggin. Then again the pounding drums of worship may be subsiding.....NOOOOT!!!!!
You really should lay off the hillbilly heroin there Limplips, you are dillusional and a legend in your own mind.
hey rush!
take 30 or so oxys and relax.
we are not even a week in and your so excited about the new dem
to rip into your about to pop! (or you look like your going to pop)
you have at least four years to tell the world all of your jokes.
one thing is for sure rush, when the economy begins to recover and job numbers go up, stocks return to a climb, and the war in iraq is over and bin laden is dead, you will still be preaching hate and lies to the few republicants who still believe you. the rest of us will just laugh cause after all, your just a joke.
Rush must be desparate for ratings. He's realizing his type of showmanship is over. So long, Rush.
Country First!
Go Rush!
Yes, of course we want Obama to fail. That's the American Way.
If it's not from the extreme right wing, it's un-American!
(Said with extreme sarcasm! Rush, you're an idiot. Go away)
PS Does anybody really take this mouth without a brain seriously?
What a pig.
umm right
NO! What's frighten is YOU...
I wonder. If we put Limburger through a water filtration plant, do you believe it will sanitize him or damage the water more?
I don't always agree with Obama's policys, but Limbaugh is acting like a big cry baby. Reps and Dems need to work together and get things done !
He needs to dig a hole – a deep one – and then crawl into it!
This guy is a legend in is own mind LOL
So the President is afraid of Limbaugh because he told Congressional GOP leaders to tune out his pessimism and divisiveness LOL This guy is truly a joke. I got to respect his hustle though. He sure knows how to make a headline and keep his ratings up cause in the end that's what all these ludicrous outbursts are about.
Stop reporting on Limbaugh, I don't care what he has to say the guys a clown. Fill this segment with memorable Obama quotes please. Thanks.
Why is ruSh-shut-up been given the time of day? CNN-NBC-ABC and other reputable news media- Stop reporting what this jerk is saying...
Haven't you notice that in order for him to keep getting his 38 million a year, he's doing it off your back? When you mention his name he's laughing all the way to the bank... Just STOP ALREADY!!!
LOL!!!!! .......... best ............. joke .................... EVER! pig!
Does anyone with half-a-mind really care with this gas-bag says or thinks? He should have been banned from the airwaves back in the 90s when he counted the days that the country was being held hostage. If Republicans or Conservatives really pay attention to what Limbarf says they will understand that he doesn't give a whit about them or the country – he is just looking to make a buck.
SIMPLE: The GOP wants to completely self-destruct (if it has not already done so)? Keep feeding this RUSH OF SEWAGE
I don't know about the president, but I sure am scared and sick to death of Limbaugh. If ever there was a bag of wind who represents all that is wrong with conservatives, he's the man!
He scares me too with a face like that! SATAN IN HIS BEST DISGUISE!
RUSH LIMBAUGH IS A FREAK, AND A COVER UP FOR THE KKK, he represents everything wrong with america, sprinkled with hatred and racism.
Oh my!!!! Rush is funny, not to mention crazy. Maybe he and Blago should do a show together.
Limbaugh is one of my favorite comedians. Everything he says is a joke.
Limbaugh: Hating what He can't understand for over two decades.
Wow. On the contrary, Obama simply ridiculed conservatives who still listen to Limbaugh's mindless rants and just goes to show how scared Limbaugh is at the prospect being marginalized by his so-called base in this new environment. I think Americans are more discerning now than in the past couple of years.
He should be frightened of a moron, bigot, and insane man like you, Limbaugh.
How can a convicted drug user, and by all accounts, drug pusher even attempt to make judgments from any sort of pedestal. Maybe it's time to start random drug testing to determine what else is in this joke of a human being's system in addition to hot air. Some people will do and say anything to get there 10 seconds of air time.
Does anyone care what Limbaugh thinks anymore ?!?!?!?!?!?
For someone who talks a lot, he does not have anything intelligent or interesting to say :-/
Yeah, El Rushbo knows all about bi-partisanship eh? When we criticized Bush's disastrous policies, he made us out to be traitors.
piece of crap needs to be flushed down into toilet and never seen again. same to the rest of his F-n friends. people likes this have a tendency to spark unwant actions from certain people.
Screw this clown and any one who supports his views. you won't win
I'm frightened of him too. Every time I look at Limbaugh I cringe and instantly induce vomiting to relieve the nausea!
Rush, nice try buddy but NO cigars. This ploy only makes you look and sound so ignorant. AND you look scary buddy, that's a fact. President Obama is laughing AT YOU, along with all the REPUGS who are licking their wounds after getting their butts whooped on all fronts.
RUSH, FOR YOUR INFORMATION THERE IS A BIG DIFFERENCE BETWEEN AFRAID AND DISLIKE. FOR INSTANCE, I DISLIKE YOU BUT I'M NOT AFRAID OF YOU SO GET OVER YOURSELF.
I thought everyone was–I'd run from you if I saw you coming my way. You look like a carb-addicted, kiddie-porn addicted monster.
Fat Boy, please!
Rush YAWN, there's an elephant in the room with you.... your ego. However your miniscule mind and lack of education is your greater problem. What a good job you have some equally mindless followers to keep your bills paid otherwise you would be hard pressed to win a janitors job.
Sorry to all the janitors of the world you do a good job, no slight intended.
Oh Fat fat Rush the Pills must really be getting to you. If anyone should be afraid of you it should be the Republicans you know why Rush your the gift that keeps on giving to President Obama and the Democrats. Because the more you foam out of the Mouth your senseless Brainless Rants the more People will Support Obama and the Democrats so Rush do the country a favor keep Popping and hopefully OD! Or keep foaming out of the mouth RUSH LIMBAUGH MOST UNAMERICA UNPATRIOTIC PERSON IN THE WORLD!Hahahahahah
Limbaugh is the biggest idiot in the Country. He should just quietly go away and stop giving his input on anything. They need to put him in a mental hospital along with Hannity and the rest of his "Fox Friends".
Rush, Rush, Rush ... get over yourself! You are a drug -addict who lied about his habit, you are hoping the Obama and America fail, mocked Michael J. Fox ... I don't really pay much attention but you sure ain't going get through the Pearly Gates ....
Obama is going to try to " to unify everybody and usher in a new era of bipartisanship and love..." but dyed in the wool, single minded haters with not one redeeming quality are beyond anything positive Obama can do.
Too low to step on and too slimy to kick": all sound and fury signifying nothing,
I'm frightened of Limbaugh too!! Every time I look at his puffy face I cringe at the sight and instantly induce vomiting to relieve the symptoms of nausea that overwhelms me. He truly is scary!!
Does anyone with half-a-mind really care what limbaugh says or thinks? He should have been banned from the airwaves back in the 90s when he counted the days that the country was being held hostage. If Republicans or Conservatives really pay attention to what Limbaugh says they will understand that he doesn't give a whit about them or the country – he is just looking to make a buck.
Rush Limbaugh is so out of touch with the American people he aught to be affraid of the 2 million plus people who attended the inaguration becasue we are the ones who are going to cancel his sorry excuse for a show becasue he is going to lose listeners becasue he is stuck in the past of division and partisanship politics and Obama and the American people no matter what party are ready for that "new era of bipartisanship and Love" and finally you know what Rush the American people like the positive renforcement so take your negative talkshow back to where ever you came from.
Get serious Rush! No one is afraid of a drug addled, college dropout blowhard. You are merely a divisive element that has been allowed to stay in the limelight for much too long.
Obama is freightened of me because I'm such a fat loser, my ears were so sick & tired of hearing me tell ridiculous lies all day that they evolved & stopped listening to me.
Sincerely,
Rush the degenerate.
Rush, believe me–no one is afraid of you. You are unamerican and a perfect FAT idiot. Go live some where else. Only idiots listen to you on the radio anyway.
Sounds like Rush is getting a little desperate. Hard to take a guy seriously when he won't come out from under his rock to criticize people to their face.
This is the type of people that keep the world divided, Get a LIFE not a Rush.
Rush, go ahead. You are going to die a sad, lonely, old man.
What an idiot and a show-off this Rush Limnut is.
Wow, Rush should be thankful for the Dems or he would never have had anything of a career! Neo-con radio really took off when Bill Clinton won in '92.
Keep them angry Rush it's what you were born to do. Some people spread hope others spread anger. I don't know if your proud of yourself Rush or if you want children to emulate you? but clearly you feed off discord.
Hmmm...
Obama is scared of an overweight college dropout, whom has done nothing more than be a radio host, yet claims to understand the worlds ills, and how best to solve them. Yeah, a man whom has been divorced three times, sure does represent family values well.
No. I think Obama is letting the GOP know, that more involved trains of logic need to be followed during this time of crisis, than that could ever be offered by Rush.
Rush is alone on an island full of conservative whiners. He is irrelevant. Obama is countering Limbaugh's sincere hope that his presidency fails. Limbaugh said he hopes Obama fails. Now that's what I call positive thinking. Limbaugh better start thinking about his retirement plan. His schtick is getting very, very old.
Sad. That's all I can say. Our country is in the middle of one of the worst recessions it has ever seen. We are in the middle of two wars and this man thinks his "I hope he fails" comment is justified?! I guess the truth is hard to swallow. If people keep listening to this hate mongerer, then we are in for a lot worse.
Since when did hope, peace and unity become bad things?
Yeah real scary...... this Limbaugh character is a joke
If our President fails so do we all, including Mr Limbaugh and all of the millions of people who are losing jobs and homes in this country.
It is very sad that Rush Limbaugh is so filled with hatrid and has access to the airways. He is a sore loser – poor sport, and a horrible role model for Radio.
His Garbage Radio show should be cancelled and he should be blackballed from every radio and TV station.
Rush you must be on drugs again.Oh that's right-you never stopped.
Can he (rush) give one reason on God's green earth why Mr. Obama is "fearful of him"?
Your wife's not afraid of you, is she rush? If you have the heart of a human you wouldn't have said that you want Mr. Obama to fail. That alone show's the kind of spineless jerk you are... Unless you said so as to try and get ratings...
"rush" for President of the United States, you looser.
Duh?!

Blah...
You're only frightened of Rush if you're a Twinkie or a Pop Tart.
Keep them angry Rush it's what you were born to do. Some people spread hope others spread anger.
I don't know if your proud of yourself Rush or if you want children to emulate you? but clearly you feed off discord.
maybe the prescription narcotics drugs are taking their full effects on mr. limbaugh.'s brain . please get a life mr . limbaugh. thanks.
Rush.........no one is frightened of you.............we are all sorry for you. Be careful, be very very careful.....its your career sir.
Obama and the democrats should stop cracking jokes about Limbaugh because he is smarter than all of them put together...at least Limbaugh knows what he is talking about.
Oh, Please. Anyone who thinks Limbaugh is for real should dig out the old USNews and World report interview he did back in the 90s where he laughs at all his listeners...admits his show is an act–a gravy train he'll ride as long as it makes money. Even HE calls himself "entertainment." So, if you find him entertaining, more power to you–but if you actually believe anything he says...shame. It's all about the ratings and the money he can make. It's soooo not about real politics, actual truth, or honest critical thinking. He's just spouting off for attention and profit, and to his credit, he admits it. Anyone taking him seriously is getting taken for a ride.
The only thing scared of Rush is his toilet seat.
I doubt it very much if President Obama is afraid of Limbaugh. What an inflated ego that man has,or maybe it is just all that hot air he is full of. Rush is a boil on America's buttocks. What pains me the most about his mean-spirited B.S. is that so many people take him seriously. What most of his followers don't realize is that he only cares about himself and his ratings. Truth and integrity do not mean a thing to him. He is a hateful, dishonest, unpatriotic creep, and the harm he has done to our society is huge. I hope there is a special place in hell for him.
Moron!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes, scared of your utter stupidity perhaps.
How any person can admire this disgusting, divisive, sorry a$$ excuse for a human being is beyond me! His supporters should feel absolutely humiliated and ashamed. How can you stand by any individual who wishes for our president to fail, especially through such difficult times as we’re living in right now in this country??? Seriously... grow the **** up!
Tell him I said Bye
Get over yourself, Limbaugh. For all your posturing, prattle and idiocy, Obama won with a HUGE margin. Go get a life. Hey, maybe you can start a rumor that Obama is really an alien and wanted to be president to control those rumors about Roswell and UFOs or something.
What a gas bag you are. Let's all hope that when the Republican party is finished hanging itself, you will finally be pulled off the air and give this nation's ears a rest.
Laughable.
I think that Rush has no respect for America. Whether you are Republican or Democrat- you need to respect the President. If he doesn't know that- he doesn't know anything! Maybe the pills had a lingering affect.
When you look up the words Hubris and Arrogance in the dictionary there is a picture of Rush Limbaugh.
Only Bigots, Homophobes and the etreme radicals you pretend to fear listen to this man. He is nothing but a snake oil salesman whose future should be curled up with a botttle of oxycontin with Ann Coulter, not pushing his divisive ramblings on the radio. He is far more offensive that Imus ever could be and Hoping the president fails at this juncture of 3 million out of work amounts to insightment and treason from my perspective. Here ye you nay sayers, where is the FCC now with their fine books?
I do believe that Rush has taken one to many drugs and it is dismantled what was left of his thought processes. My word, how can someone so ignorant and ill informed of reality get paid so much?
Rush is delusional. He'd be better off if he cut back on the Oxycontin.
Yes, and me too.
You scare a hell lot of people.
You are a blow hard and a half wit. Why would anyone be frightened of you or your buddy Hannity. You two hide behind your microphones without any solutions in mind.
Rush needs to get over himself. Obama's point was that conservatives shouldn't get in the divisive and hateful mindset that Limbaugh has. Nobody is frightened of Rush Limbaugh, he lost all of his credibility after becoming a pill-head and escaping charges by going to rehab (somehow forgetting that he believed that drug addicts shouldn't be able to escape charges by going to rehab).
Rush Limbaugh needs to go away. He is destructive and very old news. I think it is great that our President isn't afraid to speak out about people who are not accountable for anything they say. We all need to be personally accountable for our actions and words and Rush Limbaugh is not. Go away Limbaugh.
Limbaugh is a puddle of puke. Nobody is frightened of you Rush, we're all sick of you!
Obama should take Limbaugh's advice and knowledge to heart because at least Limbaugh wants to work in a truly bipartisan way and knows what he is talking about.
If this idiot wants the President to fail in his efforts, that, by definition, means that he wants America to fail. What is WRONG with this picture?????
Go Obama!
Just like the nutcase that he is, he is trying to blame President Obama for dividing this country. He has made millions off the division of this country, He could care less about the poor souls that follow him. If this country fail, they fail, but Ruch will be alright. Would not throw them a bone.
Rush take your medication! Please do not skip a dosage, you seem to get "crazy" when you don't take your medication!
GO TO HELL LIMAUGH.SO YOU WANT OBAMA TO FAIL .THUS AMERICA FAILS.YOU BIG MOUTH BIGIT.HAVE SHOUT OFF YOUR BIG DUMB MOUTH ONCE TOO OFTEN.there are places for people like you.rot in hell.bigmouth bigit
I listen to rush all the time but i will never listen to him again not because Obama says so but because alot of people are loosing their jobs and all he care about is his rep party.
RUSH LIMBAUGH IS LIKE SARA PALIN, IF YOU IGNORE HIM AND CNN PUTTING HIM IN THEIR "NEWS" HE MIGHT GO AWAY. HE IS OBVIOUSLY ANTI-AMERICAN, HE WANTS OUR PRESIDENT TO FAIL. WHAT A WHACK JOB THIS GUY AND HIS LISTENERS ARE, NOW WHO FRIGHTENS WHOM. HE SPREADS RACISM AND BIGOTRY THROUGH OUT HIS RADIO WAVES. DON'T EVEN GIVE THIS JERK THE TIME OF DAY BECAUSE HE WITH HIS TWISTED MIND GETS PAID MILLIONS AND MILLIONS TO SPREAD THAT GARBAGE. THIS IS MY ONE AND ONLY TIME I WILL COMMENT ON THIS JERK.
CNN, RACIST SHOULD NOT MAKE TOP HEADLINERS ON YOUR PROGRAMS BY DOING SO FUELS HIS FIRE.
There are only two things afraid of Rush Limbaugh: a sandwich and a bottle of pain killers.
mr. limbaugh's comments about wishing that president obama will fail is like an act of terrorism. isn't it that terrorists don't want to see america prosper? isn't it that terrorists would love to see americans suffer? that's what exactly mr. limbaugh is trying to do. to hurt more and more americans. that's not godly act.
What a blow hard.
Are you sure it's not the other way around, Rush Lamebone?
Go eat some more high-calorie food–your mouth needs to be otherwise occupied so it will be quiet.
This guy is pathetic. He get no press time so he has to make these sensational comments.
Limbaugh is so very scary-Talk about a man with a BIG EMPTY EGO-
They let anybody on radio don't they-I like how this man has had troubles with drugs but ya never hear him talking about his shortcomings-
Limbaugh is a angry, childish, frustrated, pathetic mouthpiece! I love it when he throws a tantrum.
Gee Rush could it be that you spew nothing but hate and divisive speech? The President isn't afraid of you, he just knows when to ignore a hateful bigot such as yourself.
Limbaugh is a putz
I don't think he is afraid of you, more than likely just disgusted by
you and your idiotic, hate mongering blabber. Why don't you
just shut up and go away. We don't need people like you
spitting hate and venom.
If you are so good Rush why don't you share your wealth with some of your listeners that have lost there jobs...
when will you die! the world will be one terrorist free when you do!
He should be frightened of you! We should ALL be frightened of you cause you're a nut!
Can't someone shut that man up!
Rush Lintball is a sad joke, anybody who pays attention to him is a fool.
President Obama, just remember to keep your hands and fingers away from his mouth.
idiot
Get real,
RUSS
Who cares of your thoughts.
Gary
It's obvious that Lamebutt has exactly NOTHING else to talk about.
Rush Limbaugh is just a circus sideshow. Anyone who puts stock in anything he gushes about should "get a life" as they say. He's like a little child misbehaving because any attention is better than no attention.
Yes, Obama IS the great unifer, and Luciferush needs to choke to death on his own rhetoric and be condemed to eternal to Hell!!!!!
So am I you are a basket case.
It's good to see these great "patriots" cheering for their own leader and country to fail after putting the nation into the toilet. I guess it's un-American only if someone else is rooting against the nation, not when people like Rush do it.
It is completely irresponsible for someone like Limbaugh to say he would like to see Obama fail.....It saddened me greatly that someone with such a huge platform to do goodwill would project to the public this sentiment...Regardless of which side of the fence you stand it would be a nice change/challenge to see the US back on it's feet...
Is he really that deluded?
Why didn't Rush run for president or any office for that matter?
Are you sure it's not the other way around, Rush Lamebone?
Go eat some more high-calorie food–your mouth needs to be otherwise occupied so it will be quiet.
Rush is a failure and only failures should tune on to listen to this drug addict. lol
oh..shut up
Rush Lintball is a sad joke. Anybody who pays attention to him is a fool.
Keep moving (forward) people.
is rush back on the oxycontin?
If Rush has admitted that he wants to president to fail.. wouldn't that be the very symbol for treason.. to say that you want your country to do poorly, that you want your country to fail?
How is this guy any different than a terrorist who wants to see our country fail? He may not be killing people or destroying property, but he is trying to instill the idea in people to let our country go down in flames just because it's switched over to democratic leadership... he's trying to start a rebellion before even giving Obama the chance to actually do his job.
Maybe I was wrong about Guantanamo Bay... maybe we should keep it open with a special cell reserved for Rush.
Rush, no one is frightened of you....we're very very tired of you. Go away.
The patriotism of Rush Limbaugh is amazing. Rooting for our President to fail and wishing for conservative leaders to be more "scary" to Obama is a great way to show your American spirit. And he said Obama is the poor unifier.
Rush Lintball is a sad joke. Anybody who pays attention to him is a fool.
Keep moving (forward) people.
Who would fear him. He has no pull with anyone with a brain. May be he thinks he can hurt Obama with hot air. I wish that he could feel the the pain that he causes with his crazy hate filled words.
Of course Barack Obama is scared of Limbaugh, just like he was scared of Hillary, scared of McCain, scared of Palin, etc.
My My, where to begin....Limbaugh, you WISH that Obama was frightened of you, better yet that ANYbody was frightened of you. Your comment is truly laughable! You keep making these outlandish remarks precisely because you know that if you didn't no one would pay ANY attention to you. I guess bad publicity is better than none. You had better stop picking a fight. Don't you know that its the nice guys that will whip you the hardest when provoked.
My mother always reminded me that when you point your finger at someone, there are three pointing back at you...
and those who speak ill of others are insecure...
who's afraid of whom?
Rush Limbaugh I think you are affraid of President Obama because more people listen to him than they do to you. You are affraid of competition. Haha somebody is affraid his ratings are going to crash because his negativity does not sell anymore. Sorry Rush you have been left behind.
I think everyone is frightened of you, Rush.
rush limbaugh is a loser and will say anything to stay in the headlines. just him wanting obama to fail is ridiculous...he sure is a true american with that stance. Obama is trying to work with the repubs so why would he want them to listen to this moron? who would rather a black democrat president fail then succeed and help america.
Rush Limbaugh is a blow hard. He is a hypocrite, which is par for the course of being Republican. I wish he would just go away, along with the people who listen to his drivel.
I guess we keep hearing about what this man has to say because he has such a loyal following? Or that his once loyal following is dwindling thus he needs new converts? It's so very obvious that he is a shock jock, that without controversy he wouldn't have a job, so he's found his angle. It's just that so many Americans eat their daily bread to his blathering.
I am appalled by Rush Limbaugh's remarks. Why would anyone want to see our president fail? I believe that is a slap in the face to the American people. But than he again he conservative who probably considers himself a christian. The church that I was brought up in did not spew the hate as some of the Repuplican conservatives do. Thousands of jobs were lost today and Rush Limbaugh is saying he wants failure, SHAME ON HIM.
Unbelievable. Limbaugh must be on the drugs again. Limbaugh is a college drop out. President Obama was constitutional law professor. It's just like to the conservatives to listen to a college drop out drug addict before they listen to anyone who actually knows what they are talking about.
I think everyone is frightened of you, Rush.
Rush is a treasones, unpatriotic blowheart, He needs a sponsor and to work those twelve steps
Rush is crazy. maybe he should team up with Palin and they can sit and hate together till the cows come home.
Regardless of what religion or a set beliefs one belongs to, in every society exists evil. This man is the evil that every religion and every society warns of and about.
It's up to the people of our nation whether they will allow the evil to prevail or they will allow the evil to fail and eventually fade.
If he wants President Obama to fail then all of us will. Limbaughs an idiot. Always was and always will be.
I think Russ is back on the hard drugs. How any halfway intelligent person can take this idiot seriously is beyond me.
One tub of lard, extra nutty, please.
RUSH WANTS THE PRESIDENT TO FAIL.
RUSH, I WANT YOU TO OVERDOSE ON YOUR ILLEGAL PAIN PRESCRIPTIONS, I'M SURE YOU'RE STILL FIENDING FOR.
PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA...LET YOUR HATERS BE YOUR MOTIVATORS!
And this guy makes millions and millions of dollars
as Dean wormer said
Fat stupid and ugly is no way of going thru life
Something tells me he is back using drugs again.
“He’s more frightened of me, then he is of say, [House Minority Leader] John Boehner..."
Wow, you would think that on CNN, they would at least edit their writing before publishing it. The quote should read, "He's more frightened of me, THAN he is of say...
Absolutly. Freaking. HILLARIOUS!!!
The more Rush can be provoked into burning down his own house, the better off all thinking, rational persons are. So prod away at him White House (and President Obama), please. The more he shrills, the more marginal he becomes, and the more he pulls all the extreem right-wingers along with him.
In your dreams Rushy...
Well, any self-respecting minority would fear someone who stirs up racial hatred the way this guy does. Although I doubt very much Obama or the Secret Service are overly concerned about this fat pill-popping loudmouthed neo-con nazi-wannabe. People like Warren got a seat at the table because they engage in a mutually respectful dialogue. Limbaugh does nothing but make millions off sowing hatred.
CNN if you ignore him maybe he will go away!!
Hmmm...that or he knows you're irrelevant.
Actually Rush, we are all afraid of you and considering your drug usage, you do, you are the one who has failed. I can't speak from our new president but I can only guess that afraid is the wrong word for what he thinks of you. Terrified, repelled, junkie, irrational, idiot – any of these is far more likely.
Rush can be known as "the great divider and usher in an era of hate", or wait a minute, that was the last president he supported.
Don't flatter yourself, dude.
LOL
Rush Limbaugh need to understand that Obama is Frightened of how stupid and idiot one person can be, and of course his followers.
I'm so glad that we as American finally brought someone smart and with plan to save our nation, to power. Otherwise there would of been no more hope for this country.
Sounds like Rush is feeling left out. Obama isn't talking to Rush because Rush isn't worth talking to.
Limbaugh said he wants Obama's liberal policies to fail – I, and 47% of the country who voted for McCain, do also.
I want Obama to be successful at endeavors that I agree with – that's America. I don't care who won the election.
Limbaugh, WHAT KOOLAID ARE YOU DRINKING? Or is it the drugs again? Why on earth would President Obama be afraid of you? You did everything you could to prevent his election, and were remarkably ineffective. You are less and less relevant to the world and the U.S. To hope that he fails, at the cost of this entire nation, show was a megalomaniac you are. Do us a favor, turn down the volume, or put on a different tune.
Personally, I'm not sure why anyone listens to Limbaugh at all. It's all the man can do to spread hatred, anger and ridiculously overblown, self-important bull. Of course it IS a free country and he is entitled to his opinion I just wish he would shut up for a while... just his voice alone makes me nauseous.
Geez, when will Limbaugh learn to shut his big mouth? Obama is frightened of him? Whatever. Go pop another pill, you windbag.
Obama IS scared of Limbaugh...just as he is appropriately scared of any poisonous cancer on the cultural landscape of our nation. Terrorism is the deliberate attempt to frighten a population. By definition, Rush is a terrorist – intent on spreading fear wherever he finds the audacity of hope.
The Republican party, former President Bush(thank goodness on the former part) and Reagonomics is what caused this country to go down the tubes. If Obama can't fix it, then you know the above mentioned people really screwed us. If anybody takes Limbaugh serious, they're as big of idiots as Limbaugh. He's trying to save face because his party's philosophy ruined the country and world.
Limbaugh's venomous rhetoric reveals his intense fear and paranoid tendencies. His belching has made him irrelevant and redundant. Too bad! He was good for a few laughs!
B.O. is afraid of everyone who does not bow to him and treat him like a god...........like pretty much everyone in the mainstream media.
I WISH THERE WERE NEVER PEOPLE LIKE RUSH LIMBAUGH LIVING IN THE USA. THEY ARE DEADWEIGHT.
One word – JERK
This guy is a self-absorbed, divisive buffoon. Why does any well-reasoned individual care what this shock jock says? Oh well, guess he is laughing all the way to the bank, he has a huge NASCAR-type crowd following. Go figure.
Well Rush..you are kind of scary. Your opinions carry with them an unfortunate combination of weight and malice. Your ideas seem dimished by the sheer gravity of the hubris with which they are expressed. In other words, you are a blowhard. Tone it down and maybe someone will listen.
No one is afraid of you, Rush. You are an irrelevant drug addict. Get a clue!
Who is this guy and why should we care?
I don't understand this guy. How can you hope for the leade3r of a country to fail? Especially during this recession? And Obama has been in office for a little over a week? And he has already done more for our country and science than Bush has in 8 years? I don't know, Limbaugh is out of his mind!
Nobody's afraid of you Rush; we're all just tired of you.
I think everyone in the United States should be frightened of this man. He and his off the wall beliefs are downright scary. For anyone to hope for the President to fail is despicable and beneath contempt. It is also frightening that so many people worship the ground Limbaugh stands on. Those who complain that Obama supporters blindly follow the President should know, they blindly follow the likes of Limbaugh and Hannity. Give me President Obama anytime, the comparison isn't even close.
Rush sounds like the big fat schoolyard bully he is. The smart guy who avoids him wins in the end.
Somebody has a big ego here......maybe that's it! Rush's ego is so big and so full of hot air that it threatens the country.
YES, FEAR THAT MAN'S EGO. It could kill us all!
There are only two things that are afraid of Rush, drugs and food, we all know how much he likes to consume those.
Rush – what have you done to unite this country? I read about your comments slamming Obama, making a mockery of everything but your own selfish agenda, but yet, you have not given any reason why we should care. You slam someone who has brought this nation together, when all you focus on is tearing others down. You say he doesn't unify; your negativity probably unifies you with everyone who has ever tried to bring someone down. That doesn't make you a good person, it just makes you pathetic. You're a very sad individual.
Man. Limbaugh is probably happy that there's a Dem in office... His ratings should go through the roof!
To which our President said " Rush who?"
Rush Limbaugh is on his way out and he knows it.. he will say or do anything now for attention of any kind..
step over the dog pile
Obama wishes he had the other half of your brain tied behind your back!!!
Of course he's frightened of you, we all are. We're all frightened that someone may listen to you. You are the worst of the media. You spew so much hate and ignorence it is scary. Why any network gives you airtime is a mystery.
WHO LISTENS TO THIS GUY ANYWAY....iF YOU DO YOU ARE A VERY DEVISIVE PERSON , AND PROBABLY SHOULD BE ON AN ISLAND WITH PEOPLE LIKE YOU.
There is no room for anger and hate if we are to move forward as a country. I hope Rush loses his influence as people realize his angry words only harm this nation.
Will he please just go away. He has not had anything of value to say since his first book. I'm not on either side, but he is just noise.
Narcissism is such an ugly thing when it's left to go out of control. The most powerful man in the free world is afraid of an overweight, over-bearing prescription-drug addled hate-monger. Right.
Limbaugh's and idiot, especially if he thinks Obama id frightened of him. Obama was just pointing out to the Republicans that if they follow the fat boys lead, there will be even less of them in congress in 2010.
It sounds to me like President Obama is looking out for the Republicans best interests. After all, what person is going to tell someone to go listen to someone who spouts lies and hate?
You got that wrong, Rush. You're the one who should be afraid of a man who blows up every bigoted stereotype you try to throw at him. But then, your outsized ego won't be satisfied unless you think someone is afraid of you. Too bad you don't realize how much you don't matter.
Who is Limbaugh?! No one is afraid of Limbaugh stupid, ignorant, and hateful self. Obama probably thinks that Limbaugh isn't even worth commenting on. Limbaugh and those who listen to him are hate-filled, unintelligent, and ugly individuals. He is the reason why I am no longer a Republican.
LOL, HAHAHAHAHA.
Limbaugh, you are a dork.
Rush is so UNAMERICAN....If he is wants our Commander and Cheif to "fail", then he wants our Country to fail.
BWWWAAAAAAHHHHHHHH-what a douchebag
He's also apparently more afraid of Rush than he is of terrorists at Gitmo. He also seems to think waterboarding is a sin which cries out to God, but has no problem with torturing a late-term or even full-term fetus by partial-birth abortion. Change we can grieve in.
I cannot imagine anyone that President Obama would be LESS afraid of than Rush Limbaugh! Rush truly has a false sense of identity. His comment is laughable.
Hold on. When Democrats criticized Bush and his war policies, Conservatives accused Democrats of wanting to fail in Iraq just to prove our point. This was un-American, they said. Now...Limbaugh says he wants our president to fail. So...it's suddenly okay to want the United States government to fail? This is just the first in what I suspect will be four solid years of hypocrisy from the Right.
bonehead.
Once again Rush Limbaugh has proven you can have a career after drugs. You would think he would have learned his lesson by now about being on the wrong side of progress. I guess not!!!
Rush I think you took one too many to the head. Shut your fat mouth!!!
The truth is that Obama shouldn't give a pathetic hot airbag like Limbaugh an issue to cackle about. Obama should attack Republican leaders head on.
The weird thing is that anyone would listen to this drug-addicted pig. Since he and his listeners want the US to fail, I would call them traitors, plain and simple.
Rush Limbaugh is a bigot and a moron. He needs to keep his narrow-minded, self-aborbed mouth shut. The only people that want Obama to fail are the people that aren't and will not be affected by this international economic crisis. It's easy to criticize and play petty games when you are sitting atop your perch.
It's very frightening to know how stupid you (Limbaugh) are, and how many people get infected with your stupidity.
What else could be he frightened of about you? the worst in your closet is your KKK white robe.
His name is President Obama
Yes he is because you're such a moron and that so many people are dumb enough to believe you.
People still listen to this guy?
This guy is craving attention. Obviously his show has hit rock bottom and he is crying for media attention. Please stop posting this guy's ridiculous comments!
He is back on the pills again!
Listen to what Limbaugh is saying, it doesn't even make sense. He is the one who said Obama would fail but yet he says that Obama is afraid of him and won't work to get things done. Limbaugh go away you are a joke and nobody should listen to you regardless of who the president is. One last thought, is Limbaugh trying to get people not to work together so he can say 'see Obama failed'????
get lost rush
Why is this "political shock jock" being given a forum to spread his garbage. CNN is just giving him free publicity to sell more advertising during his airtime.
lol! Oh Rush.
Rush Limbaugh and Anne Coulter should get together. What a charming pair they would make. My greatest fantasy would be shipping them off to some other planet. Narcissists unite. Both qualify as the rudest, sadest cases for human beings. I am tired of hearing them whine about this and that. Rush should realize that Obama does not have a moment to be frightened of him. Why would anyone consider him worth worry and concern? Believe it or not, "Rush, you are not the center of Obama's universe". Now jump on that rocket to another planet (with Anne) and go...preferably as soon as possible.
Ha! I don't think so.
Who would be afraid of a bag of wind like Limbaugh? He makes his money just stirring up the uneducated red neck unfortunates.
Rush = Delusional man with a warped sense of self-importance. Pathetic.
He is NOT a unifier. He is dividing and trying to conquer. Rush Limbaugh is a private citizen who is being targeted just like what happened to Joe the plumber and others who disagree with President Obama. This is not going to work and will backfire rapidly.
Limbaugh is a self-centered narcistic jerk. Obama is no more afraid of his rantings than I am. He is making money off the bigotry of the right and laughing all the way to the bank. Of course his recent comments make me wonder if he is doing drugs AGAIN!
I don't know whether to laugh or roll my eyes. What a blowhard. Myself, I think it's a ploy on Limbaugh's part to seem relevant, but I'm cynical that way.
Does anyone really listen to him/believe him anymore?
Regardless, let it go. Move on. Get a life. Or, at least, a grip on reality.
Limbaugh hang it up! Obama took the Electorial Vote plus the Popular Vote. All those people at the swearing in, balls etc. Face up to it. He is very popular. Maybe you need a vacation to Alaska with that other sharp tongued person called Palin! And remember what goes around comes around so I'd be careful of your mouth. You are conservative but also a RADICAL!
Who wouldn't be afraid of a fat doper slob?
No one is afraid of Rush, least of all Obama. I understand being conservative, but Limbaugh is just arrogant and annoying. I can't believe people actually listen to him.
Lame-bow: a less than worthless (and fully silly) clown. It's remarkable to me that anyone can take him seriously.
Limbaugh should not be on the air, who ever is his sponsor should drop him. He is like the bad apple, when ever one is trying to do some good there is always the one bad apple. The press should not give him the time nor day. Stop lifting him up and making him seem important.
I ho pe people are listening to exactly what Limbaugh said, in stead of taking it out of context.
Limpballs, Coouter and the "right, right wing" are so irrelevant the only way they can stay in the main stream media is blow their own horns. Who cares....
I hope President Obama does not even respond to Rush Limbaugh. He's the President of the United States and Limbaugh is a talk show host. So, please don't engage him in this back and fourth childish banter.
Rush, what are you smoking these days???
Oh please! Rush Limbaugh believes his own myth of self importance. He should take some of his "doctor shopped" medicine and chill.
I think Rush Limbaugh is a horrible person. Our country's in trouble, Obama's trying to remedy the situation, and all Limbaugh can do is spew hatred at our new president. It makes me wonder which he cares about more: America or his pride. There are a lot of Republicans right now who face that dilemma. I hope they make the honorable choice.
Did any of these liberal news channels even watch the Limbaugh interview. He said if Obama considers becoming a socialist country which is what Obama campaigned on (spreading the wealth), then yes, he wants the President to fail. He immediatley followed by saying If Obama considers, freedom, liberty, lowering taxes, a strong military, then he wants the President to succeed. It's funny how they don't show you that part. Why is that? No biased here at CNN or MSNBC.
This Limburger Man is delusional. He needs "to fail." Can't somebody send him back home to the planet from whence he came?
Nobody is afraid of that gas bag........Rush seems to have finally popped his cork and babbles nothing but pure nonsense.
Limbaugh just isn't relevant. He doesn't reflect the majority of the views of the GOP, and doesn't want our country to move forward.
Linbaugh, just like Palin & Co., is an ignorant, red-neck, gun-totting, Bible thumping yokel.
How anyone can give this pill popping hypocrite a second thought is beyond me. Who are all these rednecks that listen to him anyway? Can someone explain to me what he has ever done for his country. All he does is collect millions of dollars being a blowhard and a racist. The only way I'd be scared of him is if I got trapped between him and his pharmacist.
Limbaugh is the biggest hater in the USA not to mention druggie. I don't care what side of the aisle you are on, we need our president to succeed so we can.
Hey Rush, NOBODY is scared of you, least of all Barack Obama. You're a pathetic bombastic blowhard who has convinced millions of dunderheads of your stupid world view, and look where it got us. Your people have been in power for years, and took the country right into the toilet in every way. I'm sure Obama brushes you off his shoulders the same way he did during the campaign. The sun's out–crawl back into your coffin and go back to sleep.
Mr. Perfect Rush...I didn't see you on the ballot.
Simple math: The size of Rush's member is the inverse of the size of his ego.
Everything Limbaugh says is hateful and divisive. Now he's desperate to stay in the limelight, as he becomes increasingly irrelevant.
Rush Limbaugh is a joke. He's just trying to recreate his lost career. Limbaugh is a "lame-duck". Anyone who wishes our President (regardless of party) to fail should be banished from this country. At a time when this country is trying to unify and at a time when this country needs to unify, Limbaugh spews his slime and filth to gain a paycheck and a few autograph requests. If only he would just go away, fly fly little birdy.
Rush Limbaugh, a legend in his own troubled mind...
It is amazing to me that there are still some who follow such a pitiful view. He claims he loves America. I would hate to see what he would want for a country he hates. The media gives this poor lost soul too much space. For so many to get past race to elect the Black Man, President does show that some have the ability to recognize insight, intellect, wisdom, Christ-like characterists, and a devoted family man, is refreshing. It also shows there is still hope for the USA, Rushs' way of thinking is now the minority. THANK GOD.
He's trying to bait President Obama with a lot of narcissistic blather. Limbaugh and his ilk thrive on discord and disunity. His bank account is more important to him than the fate of his country.
Can you please not cover an idiot like Rusk Limbaugh? He doesn't say anything of value ever!!!!
Yeah, in his first week in office I am sure Mr.Limbaugh is scaring the pants off one of the most powerful men in the world (who is not up for re-election anytime real soon mind you). Another preposterous narcissistic statement from Mr. Limbaugh... Who does he seriously think he is? Keep him yakking – who cares
This guy is a moron, what kind of educated person would want our president to fail? I listened to him once and he sounded like the most unintelligent person I know. We should all be afraid of people like him who try and rip us apart.
Rush Limbaught represents everything ugly america stands for, CNN is quick to posting his hateful comments however anytime i write something they always screen it and it never gets posted. now i am going to say it again, Rush is a cover up for the KKK, he sprinkles the whole united states with hatred and racism.
Limbaugh hates everybody thats not a drug addicted professional hatemonger. Why would anybody with self respect allow themselves to be belittled by this jerk.
Only a complete moron would listen to this lying, radical right wing neocon religionist wacko. How stupid does a person have to be to believe this pos.
Rush should get back to chewing his dog bone.
Why this ignorant man keeps making himself look like the idiot he is, is beyond me. Why he must try and make this Country even more divided, spew more hate, and destroy everthing that makes America great is beyond me. Why anyone listens to his garbage is beyond me. He says President Obama has never done anything – well he's managed to bring hope, renew faith and bring wisdom, intelligence and strength to an office that has been disgraced for the last eight years. What has Rush done? NOTHING!
please let this be the last time we have to hear of this clown unless i by mistake stop on the fox news channel
If only his Johnson could get as inflated as his ego
I have no use for him....
I didn't know Rush Limbaugh was such a comedian. The only thing Americans are "frightened" of is how many listeners believe this man's nonsense.
Does anyone honestly take Rush Limbaugh seriously? I throw him right in the pile with Ann Coulter and other right wing yahoos that the majority of conservatives don't even acknowledge. I think Rush is confusing fright with irritation.
This man is crazy, I don't care if you don't like President Obama but you have to respect him, I voted for President Obama, I knew it wasn't going to be easy for him but I believe in him, and God only answers to positive prayers because if God would have listen to Rush and all the other bone heads then Mccain would be living in the White House with Sarah Palin trust me God knows what he is doing......
is this idiot alive.... go to hell
I am so glad to see Obama as president so I can witness all the bigots crying around the US. If Obama resigned now it would be okay because I got a chance to see bigots at work on the national stage. Good stuff.
I wish Limbaugh would shut the hell up. Dont be bitter because your party lost the election. Lim couldnt do any better than W did.
Oh please Rush, don't flatter yourself. Obama afraid of you? You must be on drugs.....again.
Nobody should dignify Rush Limbaugh with a response.
Rush Limbaugh is a loud mouth narcissist SOB. He thinks the sun doesn't shine until he wakes up. He's a hates the democrates and thinks they should die by the way side, he is probably one of the 22% who approved of GW Bush.
Rush should return to chewing his dog bone
Oh Rush, get over yourself! You stopped being relevant a decade ago!
And you, Mr Limbaugh suffer from delusions of adequecy. Nobody really cares what a right wing POS junkie thinks about anything these days. You are "old think". Move along.
Limbaugh is a real nutcase. Why would a man who had everything including the kitchen sink thrown at him be frightened by a talk-radio host who thinks he is more important than he really is. Unless he plans to do harm to the President, then why should Mr. Obama be afraid.
I guess he will be obsessing about the president for the next four years.
This guy needs to go on the scrap heap with all the other naysayers.
So, what does Obama think of Limbaugh's 54/46 stimulus plan? Doesn't have anything to say, does he.
We're ALL scared of you.......... cowards are scary. Who knows what a coward will do whn hw feel backed into a corner.
Oh puuuleezzzee. Don't flatter yourself.
I think everyone should be frightened of prejudiced, ultra-right bigots with a known drug problem. There's no telling what they may do next.
Frightened, someone thinks a lot of himself! Why anyone listens to this pill popping junkie is beyond me. Al Franken was right ,Rush you are a big fat idiot.
Limbaugh is an arrogant nazi that thinks the country and the world should have appointed Dick Cheney 'King' and that should frighten everyone! On the other hand, President Obama more than likely thinks of Rush as a pimple on a horses behind.....
What is scary isn't Limbaugh but those people that take his bombastic rubbish seriously. He is merely an entertainer that uses ugly, insulting, divisive opinions to manipulate listeners into some twisted sort of co-dependent relationship with him.
Does anyone really care what this dillusional drug addict has to say?
Please go jump off a bridge or maybe take some more pills. Idiot, you are nothing and Obama is our President. get over your swine self.
Oh yea, that's right Rush, keep on dreaming ... that's it he is scared of you, Anne Coulter and Foxnews.
Maybe we should all get the recovering drug addict, Rush Limbaugh, to fail. Lets all send him one prescription strength pill in the mail as a great temptation. I imagine Rush would be back in a clinic soon enough battling his addiction problem. As ridiculous as that sounds, that is what I feel like doing every time I hear this hateful man's rantings and refusals to find common ground. Limbaugh, this just isn't funny anymore. Go away quietly into the night and leave the rest of us to solve the problems created by way too many years of republican/wall street greed and corruption.
You are a rude, portly, small minded individual. You frighten no one and you are a disgrace to the republican party that you seem to believe that you represent.
Fortunately for you, Rush, we have freedom of speech. If we didn't, I'd lobby to have to you black-balled and taken off the air. I've never heard such a load of hot air in my life! I rather doubt that President Obama is afraid of little ole YOU! You're really full of yourself if you think that. For the first time in eight years we have an intellectual in the White House. President Obama has too many important agenda items to worry about someone as insignificant as you.
Limbaugh has been politically insignificant since the 80s! Hopefully there aren't any senators, democrat of republican, that seriously listen to anything he has to say. If there is, and President Obama's comment wasn't tongue in cheek, than our country is in even more trouble.
Rush Limbaugh...A word of advice. Stop with the hatred and divisiveness. Now more than any time in history, this is a time for us to come together. I know this does not fit well with your show and without controversy and negativity, you have nothing. Your show is only popular because you appeal to hate mongers and others out there that just have a negative outlook on life. People don't care about politics in a time when they are worried about losing their job or what they are going to do about retirement when their 401K lost 50% of its value. I don't really understand what kind of person listens to your show. Everyone I know can't stand you.
I am so tired of Rush Limbaugh. I used to enjoy him years ago, but he has turned to such a negative mean spirited person, he will help hang the GOP even further.
That just might be the funniest headline I've ever seen. Limbaugh–you're the schoolhouse bully, full of braggadocio (get a dictionary), but devoid of purpose. I hope that you'll have the decency to write a letter of apology to President Obama when he does well.
Look up obese drug addict moron in the dictionary and guess whose picture you will see.
Scared of Limbaugh, please...why would anyone be scared of an overweight lying drug abuser. He is pathetic.
Why ,oh why ,do you give him precious news area? I guess it's a step above giving Palin space but both are irrelevant.
Please, will this numb nut shut up and move on. Almost everyone has. Why does he not talk more about how to help the economy, jobs, housing etc. All he does is just talk about hate. The world spoke during the election, case closed. You and Palin need to just shut up.
MOVE ON. WE ARE TIRED OF YOUR CRAP.
When will this ego bloated drug addict shut up? Rush ***NEWSFLASH*** Now more than ever, you are an irrelevant waste of human flesh..
The drug addicted crack-head lard butt is full of himself as usual. How on earth anyone of half-a-brain would even give him a second thought is beyond the wildest comprehension. Take his show off the air waves for all our sakes.
Enjoy while you can, Rush. When Obama restores the Fairness Doctrine you'll be selling used cars in Opalacka.
limbaugh you should be banned from these United States of America, there are no words to describe how low and disgraceful you are.
I see characters such as Limbaugh as those who are afraid of Mr. Obama.He's a drug addict and he only appeals to drunks, druggies and fools.He's so intimidated by Mr. Obama until it's funny.
I think it was great for Mr. Obama to mention Limbaugh because he is hate speak and that's pretty much all he is.I feel that Mr. Obama was speaking to politicians who for whatever reason are listening to the very idiotic Limbaugh.
Nobody is scared of that fat idiot. He should shut up. Limbaugh is old news.
Obama being afraid of Limbaugh? I doubt it. They both are full of empty platitudes and rhetoric and very short on substance (not counting Rush's waistline). In a way, they are very alike, and both part of the real problem, which is the lack of real freedom and Liberty in America.
IOW, Americans should be afraid of BOTH of them!
LIMBAUGH NEEDS TO FAD AWAY. HIS RHETORIC IS COMPLETELY NOT IMPORTANT. HE AND THOSE WHO PRESCRIBE TO HIS TYPE OF DRIBBLE NEED TO UNDERSTAND THAT AMERICANS DO NOT CARE WHAT THEY THINK. LIMBAUGH IS NOT AN AUTHORITY ON ANYTHING. PLEASE CNN STOP GIVING LIMBAUGH A VOICE AND REPORTING ON WHAT HE SAYS. AS FOR PRESIDENT OBAMA BEING AFRAID OF HIM, NOW THAT IS RICH AND COMICAL.
Seriously? Rush Limbutt is jealous that the doesn't get to make those decisions a president does and never will be able to. He is a media shock jock and his job is to work people up with his statements. Its all spin from an angry old man who has no place in the future of America. All he has is the gift of blab. In reality he is seriously impotent. Nobody cares what you say anymore with the exception of a few heavy bible thumpers. The 95% majority of Americans have looked down the tunnel at Rush Limbutts ideal world and have seen nothing but honest hard working Americans being crucified by his likes and its not at all the world we envision for our children. Rush we don't even have to tell you to go away because people will soon just start ignoring you and then you'll be out of a job.
Obama afraid of Rush? That's like the tiger being afraid of a rat.
Let Rush say whatever he wants...he's ALWAYS done that. I am certainly a believer in freedom of speech, but what ever happened to plain old MANNERS????? Why can't Rush just say "I don't agree with the policies he is trying to have put in place." Saying something like "I HOPE HE FAILS" is just a personal attack...frankly, I believe, only because our President (like it or not, Rush) is an African American. I did not even vote for O'Bama; however, he is now the President of the United States of America and I AM an American....still proudly so. Get some MANNERS, RUSH!!!!
He's afraid you might eat him.
is this guy for real. why would you want an american president to fail in the environment we find ourselves today?
Who give Rush any credibility? He was a bush supporter for 8 yrs, and after 8 yrs, our country is bankrupt. Enough said.
Limbaugh should stop trying to create conflict in the media which subsequently drives publicity to his radio show. After all these years of political rhetoric, why can't Limbaugh grasp the simple fact that this is the very essence of what everyday Americans are sick and tired of!!!!!
Rush, you should get a late night comedy show.
He's not only afraid you might eat him, but your drug addiction might cause you to freak out and get your freepers to riot.
Rush Limbaugh is an idiot if he thinks for one minute President Obama is afraid of him. I really do think the President has a little more to be concerned with right now than Mr. Limbaugh's opinion of him. Get a grip!
Rush, he is not afraid of you – you are simply insignificant.
Pop a few pills, relax, and enjoy the ride.
The only thing scared of you Rush, are twinkies and Big Macs and of course, a fresh bottle of oxycontin!
Rush hates America. It's just that simple. He never fails to put himself above his country.
And Barack Obama, whose father is a moslem and therefore considered by moslems to be a moslem (children's religious affiliation is determined by their fathers according to islamic reckoning) is expected to be the commander-in-chief of the United States and place the interests of our country above those of our enemies
Can someone tell me what a "moslem"is i know what a Muslim is but what is a "moslem"? So i guess if your father leaves your mother, you are raised as a Christian,you profess to be christian, attend a christian church, get baptized as a christian,take oath as president as a christain oops i forgot, once a moslem always a moslem? with views like those we are screwed!! So if the son is not a "moslem" but because his father is then the grandchildren are "moslem" by birth? Where did that come from????
I really don't get this guy. Why would he, as an American want President Obama to fail. Clearly any true American (republican, democrat, independent, gay, straight, Christian, Jew, Muslim, etc.) would not want the President to fail.
He has some serious issues. This is what hinders US as a nation. Until we rise above comments and thoughts like this, it will be harder for all of US to be a greater nation.
Rush is a drug addict and a idiot that should be in jail for life. If he wasn't above the law that prison would be his new home.
Rush, you are nothing more than a bigot drug addict.
doooouche
YOU ARE NUTCAKE!!!!
Mr. Limbaugh, as always, is showing his vast stupidity with this latest statement. That anyone would wish failure upon an incoming president with the situation this country finds itself in today is ridiculous. Besides, the only thing on earth afraid of Rush Limbaugh is a bottle of pills.
Yes, we want the president to fail, because millions unemployed, and skyrocketing costs from everything to food to housing is perfect for an "I told you so" moment?
If this were a left talking about a right, people would be irate.
I guess even the jester has to say something to have pennies thrown at him so he can eat (and eat and eat).
I pity Limbaugh, I sincerely do.
Rush Limbaugh is an idiot. Who in their right mind would ever listen to anything he has to say? I don't care who the president is, I would never hope that they would fail, because if Obama fails it will be a disaster for my generation. On a side note, you people should listen to Rush's explanation on global warming, it's f**king ridiculous.
careful Rush, your racist colors are showing
Rush is a legend in his own mind. Over the next two weeks we will see Rush becoming a very lonely man as patriots rise and move to the sound of battle. Those who wish America or its President to fail will once again be disappointed.
The lowest common denominator.
Can't someone make this guy go away- How about if you in the media stop pandering to what he wants and refuse to give him all this publicity?
Rush Limbaugh is just a bully. And bullies tend to be very insecure people.
Are you kidding me!?!?! Yeah right, Rush....you keep believing what you need to so you can stay relavent to your week-minded listeners.
Pill popping pig
HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!
Of course he's scared of you Rush. Your redneck ancestors have been lynching his ancestors for the last few centuries...wake up Southern Man.
With a huge economic crisis and over 70,000 jobs lost on Monday alone, Obama has much more pressing stuff to worry about than Limbaugh. Rush should get over himself.

Conservative Lambaught Rush is a MORON" Hands Down"
Dear Rush,
Go to hell. You are going to someday, so why not just go now.
So, he hopes Obama fails? Is he that ignorant or hyped on drugs that he doesn't realize, in essence, that he is hoping that America will fail? You could make the argument that that is treason. The republicans should step to the plate and tell him to shut his trap.
the residue of oxy contin must make one delusional.
at least limbaugh and hannity make it easy for the secret service to find the wackos, so there is a logic to keeping him talking.
because of windbags like rush, nobody will ever unite these two idiot parties. sad part rush who gives a crap about your party or obamas. the elected officials are suppose to be working for us, not their stupid party, which is all they care about. the politics in this country need an enima, and it should start with dirtbags like limbaugh, who wouldnt know the truth if it slapped him in the face. the only thing scared of him would be any object he was about to sit on. he has lied about his drug addication and everything else. anyone who believes this scum is as sorry as he is.
"Radio Host" Rush Limbaugh?
I thought it was "Convicted Junkie" Rush Limbaugh?
Or maybe "Viagra Enthusiast" Rush Limp-baugh?
Obama and the media don't want you to "bend over" for them Rush, that's just you, wanting someone to bend you over.
According to Rush 6 months ago, anyone saying anything bad about the president was "treasonous".
But Rush is a patriot for wishing that Obama's presidency fails.
"Our Party", is the Limpbaugh show in violation of campaign finance laws since it appears to be an integrated branch of the Republican party?
Please, enough of this blowhard doofus. He and his neocon pals had the reins and have completely trashed the country. Rush had been spewing his venom for far too long to be taken seriously...
I wish that pathetic little excuse for a human being would've OD'd when he had his little "problem."
Greetings.....
The fact that someone hopes Obama will fail pretty much describes
what type of person this Rush fella is. I wish nothing but the best for this country, Obama, and his administration. The love for our country should supersede any posturing or taking sides. It's too bad there are people so jaded that they in fact wish ill upon their own country, which in essence is what the outcome of such a wish would probably be. Very sad indeed. I voted for Obama, but even if any other person won the presidency, I would not wish them to fail because I love this country. The words from this Rush fella are pretty sad. I do feel sorry for him and I will keep in my thoughts to get well......
Thanks for allowing me to share.
Udo
Talk about a true patriot....you love you country so much that you want the president and the country to fail...this guy makes me sick, but whats worst is the idiots that listen to him.
Somebody's on the meds again...
Hey Rush,
Before you RUSH back over to the buffet table, answer this.
I'll wait until you swalow that peice of "crap" you're eating.
Okay, ready. Okay Rush, let me ask you this. What would you be doing, if you didn't have this radio program?
I thought so.
The president isn't afraid of Limbaugh, he just point out how irrelevant Limbaugh has become. I think he was always irrelevant, but there are Republicans who still remain mezmerized by the old man. Only Limbaugh really believes anything he says, in fact I don't think he believes himself, but he want to give one last dying breath to the politics of division.
It's dead Rush, it's dead. Find a new life.
Rush, Your village called. they miss their idiot! What a blowhard OAF!
Wow. A little full of ourselves, aren't we?
He didn't say he was afraid of you, you pompous jerk.
He implied that if the Republicans want to save this country, they need to stop listening to nut-jobs like yourself who have systematically caused the ruin of our financial and eco-systems.
Yet again, Rush shows that he speaks without thinking.
Moron.
Oh, he's frightened, alright...frightened that Rush will EAT him.
But seriously, I'm frightened that people actually listen to this hackneyed bag of right-wing air.
Perhaps he and Ann Coulter could get together, the mirror-image version of Jack Sprat and wife, and produce some very ugly and spiteful children.
Limbaugh is nothing more than an third rate entertainer who presses political hot buttons. He is desperately trying to keep relevant in a country which flatly rejected his views in the last election. His statement that, he hopes President Obama fails, demonstrates that Limbaugh is something less than patriotic and more concerned about listener ratings. His last statement that the president is frightened of him is laughble. In the end, when it comes to matters of policy, Limbaugh turns up absolutley bankrupt. Like Sarah Palin, he can fire up the consevative base with propaganda and rhetoric, but at the end of day he does not articlulate well thought out policies to address the nations problems. He just does not add anything intelligent to the dialogue. But that sure does not stop him from blaberring.
Isn't saying "I hope he fails" in reference to our President exactly the kind of un-America rhetoric that Mr. Oxycontin was whining about before the election??
Rush, you are an idiot. Period.
Is he back on the painkillers or does he just want to get his name back out there?
mr limbaugh you are a disgrace as an american. your comments not only smack of racism but of pure unadultrated hatred for people who do not think in lock step with you. Hopefully as the months go by and you see progress in the democratic american way of doing things, you will be less hateful. Wishing you well........
You have to wonder just who in this country listens to this person (Limbaugh), and whether they can still consider themselves to be patriotic. He has crossed a line when he hopes for a President to fail. And he's walking around in a dream state if he thinks President Obama is in fear or him. Our new President has far bigger issues to worry about. It would be great, for a change, to see Limbaugh's loyal listeners to be the ones going to him and telling him to act like a true patriot, instead of someone cravenly seeking attention.
Yes, he's afraid of you. He fears that, in an Oxycontin haze, you'll think he's made of chocolate and try to eat him.
Limbaugh lives for these moments so why was he given one?
I'm sure the President is shaking in his boots over Rush
Rush – the reason Obama doesn't think it's a good idea for the GOP senators to listen to you is because you are opposed to working together as a country and that's what needs to be done in order to accomplish anything. You are more of a danger to our country than anyone I can think of.
Divided we WILL fall...
RUSH !
Nothing helps more to kill the pain of denial then Dilaudid !
Don't operate heavy machinery , don't work as radio talk show host, don't consume with alcohol , can cause drowsiness , don't mix with politics !
Learn about the prescription medication Dilaudid (Hydromorphone Hydrochloride),
drug uses, dosage, side effects, drug interactions, warnings, ...
I hope people are finally starting to realize that this creep cares more about his ideology than about our country or the well being of its citizens.
What a windbag!!! He sounds like the guys I knew in high school.
You know the ones that got drunk on two beers and wanted to beat up the neighborhood....always talking just to hear their own voice...
Oh, Rush, you're a moron and Al Franken was right: Rush Limbaugh is a Big Fat Idiot!! Now shut up and go away.
Boy, does this clown have an ego or what? It is the Republicans that should be scared of this creep Limbaugh. He is leading them down the road to perdition.
We need a change in the law so that liberal talk shows have the same air wave access as do the Limbaugh types. This man is disgusting and a disgrace to the nation. What a waco!
Rush will say anything to stay in the public eye, otherwise his shows will disappear along with any interest in him. I pity those that take his comments seriously.
What a baffoon. Who wouldn't be scared of a drug addict who wields so much power with the junk food news junkies of the right.
Rush Limbaugh, you're an idiot. Go away, leave Obama alone. He doesn't want the GOP congressional leaders to listen to you because it's a waste of their time. Not because he's afraid of you. What an ego you must have.
I believe that Rush said he wanted the president to fail IF he proposes SOCIALIST policies. There is a BIG difference. Report the FACTS CNN.
Rush Limbaugh is the reason the GOP lost the election. His failed attempt at seeding chaos in the electoral process clearly shows this guy is about as American as Osama Bin Laden is from Kansas. This guy is a disgrace to intelligence and common sense. A buffoon, an egomaniac, a horrible excuse for a human being. But I am sure sooner or later he will cross the line and the Secret Service will be knocking at his door.
Rush Mr. Obama thinks your a complete drug using, complete Idiot. Why would the President of the United States and leader of the free world be afraid of you? It appears you may have damaged your brain, with prolonged drug use.
This guy Limbaugh is an unbelievable egomaniac whose only interest is selfpromtion and money. How he can have a following is the mystery that one needs to solve. My recommendation has always been to simply ignore him. Too bad that Obama did not just do that!.The less a guy like Limbaugh get noticed the better!
Limbaugh IS scary...just like Palin was scary. If the world was ruled by pathetic hate-mongers like those two....it would be a very scary place... His reality is so unrealistic...
This man has a very high opinion of himself. I thought drug abusers had low self-esteem. Guess not.
Get over yourself. Weren't you a DJ at one time in your life?
This is coming from a Republican.
This man is a disgrace. He sounds like a petty bully on the school yard. Anyone who supports his rhetoric of lies and hatred needs to take a good look at themselves. If you all stopped listening to him...he'd fade away...
I don't know why people take this guy seriously. He is paid (400 million, I heard) to be a "shock jock". When you're getting paid that kind of money, you better come up with something that is going to shock people and get them talking. He is the same as Imus and Howard Stern.
Unfortunately, there are people out there living in Buttcrack, Arkansas, or wherever, that believe he's real. That's the scary part. He doesn't care about you, folks. He's a multi-millionaire drug addict, and he's laughing all the way to the bank at your expense.
Keep dreaming... Your days are numbered.
Don't care for Rush at all, but he does make a point every once in a while.
The Reublicans are trying to work with Obama to get things, done and this arrogant empty suit who didn't even serve a full term as Senator, tells them they need to stop listening to Rush Limbaugh.
Many of these folks forgot more than Obama knows about Government and he treats them like this all because they "dare have ideas that don't match the messiah in every way".
How is that going to help "reach across the aisle" and "get things done"?
Then when a Republican tries to raise another valid and DIFFERENT viewpoint, again this arrogant empty suit, shoots him down and says, " I won".
IF BUSH said something like this ALL you Obamabots would have been singing a different tune and by the way, I would have hammered the dolt for it as well.
Again sheep, how is this going to help things "get done".
Obambots explain why this never run anything but his mouth is the next coming in 1,2,3........
01/20/2013 – CAN'T wait
Is Rush Limbaugh drinking heavily now??
Rush has always been (and always will be) nothing more than an entertainer who uses controversy to sell more books. Even as a conservative myself, I can't help but roll my eyes everytime he opens his big mouth. He knows exactly what he's doing – drumming up controversy to stay in the public spotlight – and the public always seems willing to play along.
Let me put it more clearly: RUSH DOES NOT SPEAK FOR ME, nor does he speak for the vast majority of conservatives with whom I interact. Pres. Obama is my president, regardless of whether I voted for him or not, and he carries my best wishes and prayers as he leads our nation.
As a conservative all I can say is that I wish Rush would just shut up. He is a complete idiot!
There are two types of fear. There is the fear of a superior opponent and there is the fear of a rabid dog.
Limbaugh is clearly doing his best to stay relevant. I haven't heard his name since the oxicontin debacle.
Limbaugh is a narcissistic, over-inflated nutjob. I wish President Obama would go on his program and stare him square in the face to show just how scared he isn't of this loudmouth, neo-con whacko.
Rush Limbaugh is one of the biggest idiots America has ever produced. Please do the rest of the world a favour and contain his mindless blathering within your own borders.
Thank you
Maybe in Rush Limbaugh's oxycontin-induced hallucinations, but not in any reality the rest of us inhabit.
I don't know whether to laugh or cry. How deluded can one person be? Whether you're a Republican or Democrat how can you want President Obama to fail? HIs failure will lead to the failure of this great country. No matter which side of the aisle you sit on that would be a catastrophe.
Wow, Limbaugh sure has a high opinion of himself. Too bad it's undeserved.
frighten of what limbaugh
you aint nothing but wolf of hot air
and plus his 2million listners
Maybe he is afraid of you trying to entice him into taking vicodins and oxycodine that you were severely addicted to Rush.
Keep the pressure on him Rush! Keep up the good work!
We love you Rush!!!
He only wishes! He is only a legend in his own mind. Functioning adults know that he is a joke.
Leave it to the Dems to attack another private Citizen. What was it you libs were saying about joe the plumber and his taxes?
Rush, you are so full of yourself....
No Rush,
He just knows that you are irrelevant to our country's future.
Limbaugh is a total and complete idiot. He first said that he wants Obama to fail. Now he says that Obama is afraid of him, because the President said for the Republicans not to listen to Limbaugh.
This sort of hatred is spewed by the right wing ultra conservative talk shows on radio, tv and blogosphere, which is the main reason for cut-throat opposition among the two main parties.
The Republicans need to understand that the voting public has rejected them this time around, and wants Obama to right the ship. So shut up Limbaugh, Hannity, Kristol and the like.
This guy should not change his tone about Obama. He was right the first time. Obama is going to fail big time. Obama and Oprah need to get married.
Historically, members of ethnic minorities tend to be a little intimidated by the pointy white hat.
Delusional, as usual.
This drug-addicted highly-compensated entertainer makes his living by stirring up the worst qualities in human nature. It would be a service to America, the same country that he claims to love, for him to be relieved of the bully pulpit from where he spouts his invective.
why is this rat still breathing??????
Could someone please tell Rush, he's not that powerful & that if he didn't have part ownership in the radio statiion he broadcasts out of in FL, he would probably be fired & not even have an audience. What a right wing tool hack. If i were a member of the repiblican party I think I'd be ashamed that he was a member. President Obama afraid of him? I'm laughing so hard I can't even type any more!!
Limbaugh is a jerk .Thats why republicans will keep losing elections.
what a idiot. Anyone who would listening to him is getting Brainwashed.
RUSH LIMBAUGH don't want a united country, rush is a horrible person.
Rush keep talking an your Gop party will keep losing elections.
Rush Limbaugh will say anything to attract listeners and attention and as an American, he certainly has the right to do so. Nevertheless, a unifier he's not. He should be in show business and stay away from politics. It's evident he knows nothing about politics and our government. He only uses it to advance his cause and pad his pockets with the millions he gets paid.
It is indicative of Limbaugh's breadth of interest that he cannot even imagine a reason why anyone may not want to talk to him, except out of "fear".
Somebody should check to see if he hitting the drugs again. It is clear that he is delusional. Rush represents all that is wrong with the ills of the country.
This guy is a big bag of wind. Just go away Rush and do us all a favor....jump off a cliff
Yawn. Limbaugh's sense of self-importance is staggering.
Would this guy's dealer get a grip!
Al Franken was right.
I don't know of any other person on earth who is doing more to trip America up right now than Limbaugh...he is the most hateful self-important ignoramus I've ever seen/heard in my 55 years on the planet. If you support this idiot: congratulations...you've officially become part of America's problem, not it's solution.
Yeah right, I am Obama is real afraid of that blowhard. And you "dittos", shame on your.
His radio numbers are dropping like a rock,he will say anything now to stay in the limelight.Hes the biggest scumbag Ive ever seen.
Wow. Just ... wow. I do believe Rush Limbaugh's head is now actually larger than the universe that previously contained it. He is definitely successful in drumming up controversy for ratings but at what cost? I am sure President Obama wakes up every morning and prays to God that he remain tough in the face of such enemies as Rush Limbaugh. Wow. Just ... wow.
This man is bound for hell. Its just a matter of time.
Dream on, fat boy!
I have no idea why we still continue to give space and time to an overweight, idiotic JUNKIE. Seriously, the fact that people still listen to this fool baffles me. Obama should not have even mentioned him. The best way to deal with people like him is to ignore him. He is only saying all this to get attention. He LOST!! Buh-bye!
This fat drug head need to take a chill pill. Oh I forgot I do take pills.
No is frightened of him. Get over yourself Limbaugh.
Keep dreaming Rush! You would have to be a man of substance for the President's radar to even pick you up. You are just a sideshow act for the weak minded and worst of all, you know it. It must be hard to live with being such a non-entity.
Rush who?
It's time we found out who the advertisers are for his radio show and boycott them –
He can't wipe the floor President Barack Obama walks on.
Bigot, ignorant and if I'm not mistaken a drug addict.
Rush Limbaugh is a moron. Can we deport him?
This dude is seriously on an ego trip if he thinks that he's good enough to intimidate or "frighten" anyone. Frankly, with a name like "Rush Limbaugh", the idea is actually pretty hillarious.
Oh, give me a break! Does anyone in America really care what this drug-abusing hate-monger has to say? He's made a living by frightening people about those who aren't like him (i.e., white, wealthy, and Christian). Enough already! It's time for America to come together and work toward a common future. The ilk which listen to the viagra-driven mind of 'Limbag' should consider turning to another station.....
Rush Limbaugh is not only a bloated loud-mouthed pig but unpatriotic and it's interesting that he and all thos good ole boys that love listening to him haven't been called on that. Of course he would say something so callous as he hopes Barack Obama–this country–will fail. He gets paid 14M a year for TALK!! What does he care about factories and retailers closing their doors across the country laying off workers? It just means he can lowball his domestics. What a pig. He better hope Obama doesn't fail because I'll tell you now, he fails and people like me become revolutionaries. You think the 70's was bad. You ain't seen nothing yet! These greedy Republicans think they're soooo tough. You're weak and pathetic blowhards. Just a bunch of loudmouths who only look out for yourselves!!
Rush..you back taking prescription drugs again? Some of us
had hoped this type of childish verbage had left with George W.
I guess there is no term limits on childish radio hosts.
He doesn't deserve to be heard. All he spits out is hate.
Keep it up Rush, maybe you will eventually achieve that state of obscolecense that many of us had already hoped you would have achieved a few years ago. No one that I know really cares about political party as they did in the 90's. We are trying to come together as Americans first and foremost.
Rush needs to SHUT-UP.
limbaugh is a tool. in a time where the country is in economic peril and everyone needs to be pulling in the same direction, all this guy wants to do is take pride in "scaring" people? this guy is just a self-important useless fat piece of garbage.
Who takes Rush Limbaugh seriously anymore anyway?
I don't think President Obama even has the time to think of Rush Limbaugh, let alone be afraid of him. Mr. Limbaugh is taking himself too seriously and thinks what he has to say or think of being important. He is nothing but a minuscule footnote on the political scene if that.
I don't think he's scared of you, rather doesn't want to waste his time with someone so insignificant...
Please stop covering what Rush Limbaugh says if it's newsworthy... and I surely believe this comment fits into that category.
The fact that he thinks he scares Obama is a ridiculous, self-serving notion that only gains credence when CNN and others repeat it.
Please don't allow him to use CNN for the dispersal of this personal and utterly subjective message.
Thanks,
Drew
“He’s obviously more frightened of me than he is [Senate Minority Leader] Mitch McConnell,” Limbaugh told listeners. “He’s more frightened of me, then he is of say, [House Minority Leader] John Boehner, which doesn’t say much about our party.”
I wonder if Mr. Limbaugh planning on during something really bad to the President, because The President of the USA should not be frighten of any man unless he feel that person is going to do him bodly harm.
Dream on Rush Limbaugh, if you really think Mr. Obama is afraid of you. You couldn't shine his shoes even if you tried.
He's an idiot and anyone listening to him is as well. Enough said!!!!!!!!!
Limbaugh is an anti-American jerk for wanting President Obama to fail. I hope Rush's heart fails from all of the Oxycontin he takes.
Mr Limbaugh, Get over yourself, I do not think that our President is frightened of you. I know that I sure as hell am not!
C~
Peace
NO! He just doesn't have time for your non-sense.
He is back on the pills!
Rush LImbaugh is just a dirty racist pig who needs to be ignored...whatever he says wont change a thing whch is that we will have a President called Barack Obama for the next 8 years ...yeah 8 years...
Russ, I don't believe President Obama is scared of you but you are scared of the President because he might succeed. Question? Is the American people tired of Russ Limbaugh and his negative attitude toward our country? Yes I am, Russ makes a living downgrading the every Democratic President. It is the only way the Drug addict can make a living.
Mr. Limbaugh makes his living by inflaming emotions any way he can. He has no interest in intelligent discourse. He gets paid to create uproar. Rush has fears of his own... declining viewership.
In Limbaugh's own mind, and nowhere else.
RUSH IS A DEFENDER OF OUR REPUBLIC!!! IF OBAMA FAILS, OUR FREEDOMS PREVAIL!!!
Does anyone even listen to Limbaugh anymore?Is he even still relevant? I guess this is the only way he can get air time these days.
Someone shut that stupid man up! I have no idea why anyone in their right mind would EVER listen to such an idiot. Don't we have enough problems and enough pressure on our president from what Bush left? Shut up Limbaugh, and let him do his fricking job you idiot!
Now, why would the "President" of the United States be afraid of an ex-drug addict and mediocre radio talk show host . You give yourself way too much credit, Rush!
.....shut up you big fat pig!
More like Rush Lame-o is scared of Obama. If, God forbid, Obama did "usher in a new era of bipartisanship and love" then Rush would see his ratings drop, wouldn't he?
What a poor soul Limbaugh is. What we do not need right now is someone hoping that our president fails in clearing up the mess that Limbaugh helped create. RL is a born loser, a negative white bigoted person that lives in the past. The electorate have clearly stated that persons like him are no longer appreciated. Obama should ignore him entirely and treat him with the disdain that he rightfully deserves. Anything more would provide him with the attention which he craves so desperately to feed his overblown ego.
Limbauch is scared indeed: scared of the dropping ratings of his circus.
Rush speaks the truth. There must be a counterweight to the slobbering mainstream media that is having a love affair with Obama. They are not doing their job–it's the death of journalism as we know it and it will be to our peril if they don't stop.
What's frightening about Limbaugh are the number of people who rubber stamp his rhetoric. I can't imagine why anyone would listen to a prescription drug abuser.
Why does Rush hate America so much?
I do not think Obama is afraid of you, he sees you Limbaugh as division monger that you are. If you really wanted to do a service to the nation, you would keep your bigoted, biased, and controversial comments to yourself.
Hey Rush, NO ONE is "frightened" of you!! The only thing you are to anyone is NAUSEATING! Do the World a favor and overdose on your Oxy; and do it soon please!
Rush, the fat drug addicted draft dodger must be sniffing his old shoes.
Is Rush on drugs again, maybe he should check into rehab. Instead of spreading his message of hate he should be trying to support our new president, does he not realize if Obama fails the country and the world will fail.
What a big wind bag....
rush "drugged out" jerk. nobody is frightened of you. please. PRESIDENT OBAMA HAS OTHER THINGS TO THINK ABOUT. OH GOODNESS,PLEASE. LOL!!!! you are good for a laugh. you are giving the gop a bigger blackeye then they already have. you haven't figured out WHY the repubs lost? And not only lost but REALLY LOST BIG!!! so you stupid ignorant druggie, keep on with you crazy rants. I need a laugh while THE NEW PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA GET ON WITH FIXING THINGS THAT THE FORMER president dumb bell bush (aka welfare king. living off working Americans) made a mess of over the last 8 years.
Rush, you are as loony as Rod Blagojevich, and that's pretty darn loony. Get over yourself already.
I think the man really needs those drugs.
You should be afraid of yourself!! Obama is not afraid of you, he is just much smarter than you!!!
You have major issues with yourself that you will try and put someone else down to make you feel big. I lift you up to God in prayer.
bush was suppose to be a unifer,but look what happened.
rush is full of hot air,one stick with a pin and he flies into the air and drops down we know not were.
Limbaugh is nothing more than garbage......nothing he says has any worth or value. He's a bitter, very angry person. He's actually laughable! The sad part is, he takes himself seriously.....
scared? why has it not occurred to this prescription drug junkie that he's not worth anyone's time anymore and the only way he gets any attention is by making outrageous comments?
This guy likes to hear himself talk – big ego – sounds like he's still on drugs.
Why would Obama be afraid of an Oxycotin addict who should be in prison!? All this clown is good for is sucking wind, and he sure has had way more than 15 minutes of fame allows.
Obama is right on the mark, the GOP has not learned a thing since their Nov 4 drubbing. If you think some jerk of a clown like Limbaugh is going to get you back to power, then you're on Oxycotin too!
The American people are fed up with the likes of scumbags like him. However, I want this idiot to stay drugged up because the more he opens his big, fat mouth, the deeper the GOP hole gets.
I think it's funny obama is worried about Rush. I would like to address this so called agent of change... I would like obama to answer this directly and maybe explain to us on the Rush show how he spent $120 Million when the world's economy is falling apart...

Limbaugh and Palin are what most American voted against. He is a very blunt racist towad Africa American. You are the one that is a joke and Africa American will not sit back and let you disrepect our President. You really don't won't to go their with a civil war.
This man is missing some marbles! He foolish, and not worth listening to. What a dis-service to his audience.
Are there really those who take this man seriously? He's a joke in the truest sende of the word. And his ego is enormous. Anyone who hopes for their country's leadership to fail is certainly not a patriot – no matter which side of the political aisle he falls on.
Rush is such a loser. He is the one afraid. He is afraid that Obama will be successful – Rush is afraid that the ultra-right wing of the GOP will fail and the GOP will go back to their old roots which will mean that Rush is no longer in demand and he won't be making the big bucks. No one is afraid of you Rush -
I don't get why anyone would "want" our president to fail. I voted for Obama, but if McCain had gotten in, I would certainly not want him to fail. A failed president is a symbol of a failing country (see: the last 8 years). This is just another example of this militant partisanship (which the left is just as guilty of) that will tear our country apart if left unchecked.
Wow, old Rush is really quite impressed with himself. I suppose someone has to be......hes pretty irrelevant to the rest of us....in all honesty my first thought when I saw the article was...."isn't he dead?"
Ah well.....old gasbags never die....they just deflate in a symphony of self important, delusional, babble......
Give us a break! My grandma is not even scared of you. You do what you do to make your money and get media play. Your a legend in your own mind. Only time I even hear you is when you make cnn for some stupid remark.
Rush Lam,
You need to sit down and shut up your Racist!!!! mouth!!! Your big mouth shows how much of an unhappy man you are!!!! Sorry!!!
Oh Pleeeeze, I really do need R. Limbaugh to leave this planet. No one is afraid of him. Honestly!!!!
Rush Limbaugh is still alive?
I doubt if President Obama is frightened by this yahoo.
Republican Senator Chuck Hagel and former Secretary of Defense Colin Powell have also suggested that Americans quit listening to this windbag, and start paying attention to fixing this nation.
Rush Limbaugh never did anything for America. He never will.
Remind me again why Limbaugh isn't in jail? This is not what our country needs now, we need to work together to fix the mess we are in. Limbaugh is a prime example of why I left the "Christian Right" controlled Republican party.
Is this guy for real? Why would Obama possibly be afraid of this blowhard? Anybody – conservative, liberal or otherwise – who wants the newly elected President to "fail" is, in my view, anti-American and not worthy of anybody's attention. By making these comments, Limbaugh proves only that he cares about himself and his partisan politics and that is never the sign of a smart leader. Given the chance, I'm quite confident that Obama would outsmart Limbaugh every day of the week.
Scared of Rush? Who isn't, his extremist views scare any rational thinking American. Anyone who carves out a carreer based on promoting hate is someone to be afraid of. Rush is a facist and always will be, I will never listen to him.
How this man can continue to be paid for his views is beyond me. But again he is an entertainer not a thinker, a comedian at best.
I would not put Limbaugh in the same party with McConnell and Boehner. He is a true Nazi and I do not think those leaders are. Everyone should be afraid of Limbaugh because he is an uneducated arrogant fool, and those are the people that have been the worst leaders in history. Anyone who believes anything Limbaugh says is at best a high school dropout or a lemming. Unfortunately, Limbaugh is one of the people that we have to hear if we are to protect our right of free speech. He has made one point though. All liberals should buy a gun to protect themselves from the narrow minded, uneducated right.
Limbaugh is what happens when you are drug fortified and eat too many cupcakes. Fat and in a mental haze.
Someone wipe his nose, will ya? Wittle Wushie hab a bad day.
Limbaugh has been marginalized, he is no longer important to any issue at any level and is a simple side show. More time on the treadmill, less drugs, and off the air would be advised.
Rush Limbaugh's an idiot.
Hey Rush,
Perhaps you would care to comment on the Oxycontin controversy surrounding you?
Or maybe.....you'd like to debate Obama in an open forum?! You will if you're foolish, and you're as foolish as they come, sir! Debate Constitutional Law with him, I dare you! And for real fun, try using facts instead of the usual "fiction not fact from Rush's Almanac" approach you usually employ!!!
Remember, you're the same guy who takes a stance on any position given to you by the hierarchy of the GOP, regardless of the actual impact it will have on anybody! You instruct your "Dittoheads" on what to say, think and act on based on a fueled level of prejudice unlike anything I've ever witnessed!
You clearly represent evrything that's wrong in this country, and unfortunately you have a lot of people that aren't smart enough to read through the nonsense that get their speaking points from you, too!!!
In a phrase, you're a disgrace!!!
Not worthy of publication or airing. Like "professional wrestling," or "realty TV." Limbaugh's a self-aggrandizing moron. spare us next time. Please.
To the contrary, I don't think Obama wants to waste time on a biased, outspoken, and quite frankly, obnoxious talk show host that no matter what Obama says, he will take issue with. I think in this case the phrase "more frightened".
The one thing Obama has tried to make clear is that he is more than willing to talk with men and women who disagree with him and his politics. Having that said, though, why would any incoming president talk to a radio show host that publicy said he hoped that that person would fail as a president.
Considering he is a Democratic president in power with a Democratic senate (nearly fillibuster-proof) and a Democratic House, I think it takes an enormous individual to still want to reach across the aisle. But for such a spirit of compromise to work, there is just simply to place for any individual, liberal or conservative, who is more than willing to cling to his blind party loyalties to the end.
Limbaugh said, "I support the President, not his policies". Who all said, "I support the troops, not the war"? Same diffrence?
To clarify, Mr. Limbaugh never commented he wanted Obama to fail.
Mr. Limbaugh said Obama's plans (hand-out) should fail!
I think the media needs be smarter than Mr. Limbaugh!
Rush, America just won the election. You lost. I feel your pain. Now it's time for you to take some more oxycontin.
rush is ugly and an idiot
WHAT A JERK!!
He needs to stop scoffing. Limbaugh is putting bad air through the airwaves.
Stop the presses! Rush Limbaugh is flattering his fat self again!
Whatever Rush- what a big old bag of wind you are. You and Ann Coulter are a big waste of resources- water, air and food. You need to put the crack pipe down.
CNN don't you have anything else to report on? Rush Limbaugh is an embaressment to every white American. He is as Anti-American as you can get. I don't care what this low life druggie has to say! Let's stick to real issues!
"Watch now as I attempt to further embitter my listener base by casting myself as the sole defender of Conservative ideology!"
Look, folks, this whole obsession with President Obama's "Messianic" status has gone too far. Everyone I know who voted for him (myself included) voted for a departure from the policies of the previous administration; we did not vote for him out of some misguided belief that he would be the one true redeemer of our country. Honestly, the only people I've ever heard use the labels, "Messiah," "redeemer," "Chosen One," and the like are the people who are trying to bash President Obama.
The bottom line is that Obama's a politician, just like all the rest. He will do things even his supporters will not like, and he may occasionally say one thing and then do another. But hey, he's got a long history of Presidents who've done the very same thing to justify himself with whenever he falls short of the lofty goals he's set for himself, right?
Really, it's folks like Limbaugh that put the microscope to things no one in their right mind should care about. Political commentators of all stripes do nothing more than dumb down the national dialogue, and it's sad; that goes for Limbaugh, Olbermann, O'Reilly, Brown and all the rest. If it's likely to incite outrage, that's what they go for.
Be smarter than that, people. Ask your own questions, find your own answers, and don't let some self-important talking head form your opinions for you.
Let me say, as a conservative Republicen, Limbaugh is the first person that just makes me want to puke. Like most people who earn their money with their mouth, it's all about finding ANY topic that causes people to react regardless of it's merit.
Rush thinks too highly of himself. He is irrevelant now and has to squeak to get any attention.
Limbaugh's a proven doper yet there are million's that feed on every word this doper says. Now that is scary!!
Limbaugh should go to Iraq and Afghanistan to frighten the terrorists.
Yeah, right, Rush. Just keep telling yourself that. The rest of us will move forward and leave you behind.
Why in the world would the President of the United States be afraid of a pill headed idiot like Rush Limbaugh...Barack Obama has more intelligence in his little finger than Rush has in his fried brain. I sure hope the conservatives keep listening to their dopehead leader.
Limbaugh is like an annoying gnat on the arse of humanity. Obama's right. He should be ignored. Limbaugh is being given a lot more importance than he deserves. Let's not let his great big pumpkin head get any bigger by letting him get under our skin. Oops! I've resorted to insults. For shame!
Sure Limbaugh..I think you have it wrong. You're the one who's frightened. If he succeeds, you're screwed..and so is your party.
Poor Rush–it must be the Oxycontin giving him that sense of invincibility. Maybe he should take another trip to the Dominican Republic to blow off some of that steam with more underage hookers. Don't forget the Viagra, Rush!
Obama afraid of Limbaugh? That's got to be the joke of the century (Two centuries!).
Obama has been in front of the public, taking questions, debating the opponents, doinginterviews, for two years. Limbaugh has not come out, once, from the safety of his microphone. Not once. Ever.
Now, who is afraid?
Course if limbaugh said the same thing about Bush he would be held on treason charges..come to think of it not a bad idea. Coincidentally The Taliban wants him to fail also so where does Rush stand on that with the Taliban now? Bring back black listing if it was ever needed it is now.
Afraid of Limbaugh?, Are you kidding me? Are you sure Rush Limbaugh is not ailing or intoxicated? This does not seem like someone who thinking normally. The President has a lot more to worry about than being afraid of Limbaugh. Give me a break
Rush Limbaugh is such a waste of our time. His comments don't suprise me in the least anymore, he continues to act like the scum we all know he is...
Who is Rush Limbaugh?
What a pompous windbag. Obama isn't afraid of him! Obama laughs at Rush's idiocy. He knows that rush is too busy making up lies to have anything of any importance for people to hear.
Look at the inauguration alone, they are screaming about the costs adn comparing it to 2005, while LEAVING OUT THE SECURITY COSTS FROM 2005 adn including them in the Obama costs!! Bush spent almost the SAME amount.
frakking hypocrits.
Well, people are just naturally afraid of drug addicts like Rush Limbaugh. They tend to not make good decisions much of the time, make little sense in most of the things they say, they're too busy worrying about their next fix, and, generally, are unpleasant to be around.
It's not so much that's he might be afraid of you, he's probably more concerned about your gun toting, God fearing, irrational thinking base that listens to your show. Plus your philosophy is what has gotten us into this mess, quit dividing the country more so than it already is, most of us are tired and want solutions.
I am sure Obama is not frightened of Limbaugh, but of the hate rhetoric that he keeps shoveling out. Promoting hate and hateful attitudes will be Rush's legacy as he goes down, when intelligent free thinking people no longer want to hate their neighbors and move on into the next social realm that promotes goodwill and hard fought stability. Limbaugh we are tried of your hateful ways. Do you really enjoy enticing others to hate, or is it just an easy way for you to line your pockets and the expense of others? Go away...
Afraid of him? Limbaugh?
The only people who should be afraid of Limbaugh are the mouth-breathing bigots he leads around on a leash.
Thinking people will not be afraid of this drug-addicted blowhard.
These are the childish politics to which we have sunken. At a critical time when it is SO important for all Americans to unify and work toward the rebuilding of this country, it is obvious that the Right has no intention of changing its character (or downright lack thereof). The fact that this tired windbag of a pundit is STILL allowed to belch his bullying comments all over the airwaves for us to endure is proof enough of that. I would expect behavior like this from children in a schoolyard, not from a so-called spokesperson of a major political party. Once again ....WAKE UP folks..the election is over; time for the sour grapes to be washed away and all of us to act like Ladies & Gentlemen. Think ya can swing that??!
Well said Gibbs!. Rush is so caught up in his own image that he does not realise its not about him that the mention is made by the Pres but about of the non-progressive nature of his ideas. But who bothers!. Hi! is the best answer for him
Rush has been bum rushed and flipped over in to a fringe hissy fit.....
Obama is gooooooooood!!!!!
Your beloved party made a complete mess out of this country over the last eight years, Rush, so sit down and shut up. President Obama is four times the man that Rush Limburger ('cuz he stinks just like Limburger cheese), or his favorite pal, Du(m)bya, will EVER be.
Limbaugh, YOU are the great divider. You are filled with a lot of hate... I feel sorry for you.
I guarantee you, you fat loser, Obama is not afraid of you.
Rush, eat another cheeseburger and have your lingering heart attack, you foul hypocritical drug addict.
what an IDIOT! He needs to move to another country!!
Rush, you re a jackas s please go away
That man is everything that is wrong with this nation. He thinks this is a game. If this President messes up IT'S OVER!!!
Really??????? Is this man serious. I don't see Rush swaying the country to his side. He's no one to be afraid of.
Rush Limbaugh have to talk about something just to keep the rating up for his radio show, He need to get over himself and move on and find something else to talk about. Why would President Obama be “frightened of him, this goes to show how pwople think and what amount of time they have on their hands
Somebody please tell Rush Limbaugh that 2010 is a perfect opportunity to challenge the President and not on a radio Huballa!
Ever since you were discovered to be a pill-popper, you've had absolutely zero credibility, Rush. Shut up, already...
Rush get a life accept it is what it is and shut up! There are alot of things to talk about in this world so get over yourself!
I truely do not understand why anyone would care what R.Limbaugh thinks anymore. To hope Obama fails is to hope America fails at the moment. I did not support Bush or his policies but never would hope he failed. The consequences of failure are too enormous as is becoming clearer every day. Does Rush want the American people to suffer further.He really should be called to task on this because it really is about as unamerican as anything I have ever heard.
keep up the very good work. maybe he will go coo-coo
Rush- no he is not scared of you. Its your ignorance and what u represent about the republicans that he fears. IF the republicans are to return to the values and standards we respected for so many years, idiots like Rush need to keep quiet or move him out of the party. Well as we know most conservatives are evangelical base or christians- do you see why people have started doubting the republican party- when you have uncouth, egotistical are racist guys like rush representing you. How do i say im a republican when he spews such hate and stupid statements. As long as Rush purpotedly speaks for us- im staying independent.
Didn't Rush Limbaugh start all this when he was quoted saying that he wanted our President Barack Obama to fail in the next four years? To me that would be saying that Rush Limbaugh wants our country to fail, and that is just way too unamerican. If Rush feels that he can't work with others and wants to be such a blow hard, then maybe he needs to find somewhere else to live, where people can worship him as the god that he thinks that he is.
Obama afraid of an Limbaugh, an increasingly more obese, documented prescription drug addict, who hides behind a microphone in a studio. Take your medication, Limbaugh.
Rush who? The conservative mouth who is always bullying his vaunted opinons (of both himself & his targets) ~~ the self-righteous bigot of the radio airwaves? If that is who he is: 't'ain't nobody afeared of him or his prejudiced opinons.
What is frightening is that to many crack heads out there actually listen to this idiot. First he wanted to send all drug addicts up the river, that is till he himself ended up with a drug addiction problem. When the shoes were on him, he wanted understanding, and used his money to keep his big butt out of jail. Rush represents the worst of the republican party. He is the extremist base that is blind to the world around them, and has tunnel vision when it comes to the world around them. If they had their way, minorities would never be allowed to rise and suceed in this country. Idiots like Rush, Hannitty, Oreilly (can you say phone sex?) represent the old and jaded views of the old extremist republican guard. If republicans dont wise up and leave these relics behind, they could soon find themselves extinct.
Limbaugh is a joke. Why should anyone be afraid of an addlebrained drug addict?
Uhhhhhhhhh . I think Rush is mixing up his prescriptions again
I'm all about free speech but this is just stupid Limbaugh needs to learn when to shut his mouth Obama has much bigger things to worry about than being in a quarrel with a clueless radio host, but i'm sure Obama will take the high road and stay out of it.
Rush is baiting Obama into responding to Rush will remain relevant. Obama has already responded to the first bait now let's see if he keeps it up. If he does, it is a sign of a weak ego, like the one that reared its head by way of his choice of Biden over Clinton for VP.
Limbaugh is hardly someone to be afraid of. As large as a cow and a brain fried from drugs, I really don't think the man knows what his is saying 99% of the time. A totally racist pig.
Wow, that sounds really pathetic Rush. Maybe Obama is complaining about you because you care more about scoring points than about helping this country. Remember when he told us not question Bush because questioning a president is unpatriotic? How the world turns. According to his own argument, Rush is completely unpatriotic and unamerican and he should be forced to resign his talk show.
Okay and the grade school bully talk continues....
Al Franken's book describes Rush Limbaugh best ....
Rush, you're an idiot. Don't you have some painkillers to take?
Rush has issues with projection.
The only thing Obama has to fear from Limbaugh is the unlikely event that Limbaugh falls on him during one of Limbaugh's drug-induced stupors.
I wish that they all would just ignore that right wing wackaloon drug using blowhard.
Nobody is scared of that fat white man, who is uncouth and ignorant.
Rush is one of the big (rotund) reasons that I have drifted away from the GOP over the past 15-20 years. His hate-filled diatribes are intended only to divide our country. It's a sad display of one's need for attention and ego-stroking, selfishly putting his personal needs ahead of what's best best for our country. He could be doing much good, but chooses instead to go and stay negative.
Rush Limbaugh is a terrorist! He should be tried for treason! That bag of hot air has been allowed to spew his venom long enough. Time to rid ourselves of him and his femaile counterpart, Ann Coulter, for good. They are both idiots just trying to stir up trouble and make a buck off it. Enough!
This guy is so washed-up, he's following the MO of his protege Ann Coulter. Say the most outrageous things you can to garner attention. What a pathetic piece of trash he is. Says alot about his audience, too.
No comment is really necessary, now is it?
Obama isn't frightened of Rush, he just wants Rush to stop wasting everyone's time. Rush's mocking comments about "the great unifer" are ironic, coming from such a divisive person. Go away, Rush..........
Rush is inane and insane. That's all.
OMG! That is about the dumbest thing to come out of Limbaughs mouth that Obama is scared of him. Rush, put a cork in it for once.
he should be... everybody should be. rush limbaugh has caused more damage and destruction to this country than any single person ever has. his idealogy and beliefs are the sole reason for the pending demise of this great nation. obama wants nothing more than to stop limbaugh from continuing to tear apart this country by the seems, but I don't know what can be done at this point. unfortunately rush will not stop, he cares about nothing but his ratings and making money regardless of the cost.
as long as people keep listening to he has to say there will never be a UNITED states of america. there is nothing the democrats can do in the eyes of rush limbaugh that will be positive. i just wish people would realize that rush doesnt care about conservative or liberal views, he only cares about making sure the republican party wins.
I'm more frightened of Rush Limbaugh than I am of say, just about anyone.
This guy is a joke! He makes republicans look stupid, and I know they all aren't. He should shut up and get real. Give Obama a chance. He inherited a mess, no matter who you want to blame. I support President Obama and so should ALL Americans. I guess Limbaugh is saying Obama ain't afraid of nobody on the Hill! Go Obama, that's Mr. President.
I have a hard time being convinced by Limbaugh's rhetoric. He's the coward who hid behind his Clear Channel bosses when he made highly offensive comments regarding "pretend soldiers" in the past. He did not want to admit his mistakes and was not "man enough" to apologize for making a goof.
Now we hear that he wants Obama to fail. Why?!
Why would anyone wish ill when our country is in trouble?
This Limbaugh may have a right to an opinion but I also have a right as a former disenchanted Republican – to say "screw you Limbaugh!"
This blowheart has been on drugs too long. Why is he getting any press??
oh good for limbaugh, hes one of the biggest idiots in this country.
Rush Limbaugh is a pathetic meglomania.
Limbaugh is irrelevant.
See this would actually shock someone if it wasnt already well known that Rush is the biggest racist biggot alive and its sickening how he has listeners and still has a platform to spread his so-called conservative views. All Rush needs to make his act complete is a white sheet....
Does this man remind anyone else of the washed up athlete, telling everyone how great he was and how terrible everyone else is?
Does anyone care what they have to say either?
Mr. Limbaugh, he's probably scared that the ignorance you spew will effect the weak minded. Its legitimate, we as a society have worked very hard to stray from ignorance and ignore the tirades of old drug addicts.
However on the other hand, there isn't too much to worry about with you where I live... You are after all, on AM radio.
It is truly sad to think that you could be the most influential person of your party. It pains me even more to think that neither you or your audience have not taken in to account how severely your brain has been damaged and altered due to years of drug abuse.
It's so sad that our party allow LImbaugh to represent us. Think about it! He's a drug addict, a liar, a fornicator (remember the viagra) and yet we allow to represent the "conservative" values of our party. It's just ridiculous. Everyone should stop listening to this man as he helps to ruin and kill the Republican Party.
Why would President Obama be frightened of a pill popping addict?
BIPARTISANSHIP is a melding of partisan ideas resulting in a compromise.
Democrats today want nothing of the sort but rather seek BI-PARTY agreement, which is when republicans CAVE in to democratic demands.
Rush Limbaugh said it better today: "Obama said, Well, you know, "I won." I'm going to trump you on that. We're not going to do that. Well, where's the bipartisanship, President Obama? There is no bipartisanship in President Obama's plan. President Obama's definition of bipartisanship is when Republicans cave and agree with his plan so he can then claim it's bipartisan. But he's not compromising on anything here."
I guess hate still sells, especially from a lonely, overweight, documented prescription drug addict, Rush Limbaugh.
No Rush, what President Obama is concerned about is what the people who listen to you will do to please you. They will begin showing racial hatred and inflicting undo suffering on innocent Americans who have every right to express their fondness for this new administration and President . Don't you remember how Gov. Palin tried to use race bating during her campaign and how it only flammed the fires of hatred in this country. This unAmerican talk of hoping this President fails is very disturbing and you will be responsible for all the hatred and pain that comes from this. And for what, ratings, fame or do you have a desire to split the country like during the civil war because that's where this kind of radio bullying is headed.
Please stop covering stories Rush Limbaugh. Hes a fanatical one trick pony whose welcome on the meda landscape has expired. Like Hannity and the cloven hoofed coulter- rush's rantings have become just pathetic. Lets tell the news, not highlight anyone moron's zealotry.
To me, Rush sounds like a dictator, an outsider, someone who wants to create a chaos in this country. This is not CUba, china, nor Russia. YOu wanna have these views go to Russia and see where that takes you. Only in America. He is a racist, divider, who got lucky under the bush administration. He is making million of dollars for saying absolutely nothing on the radio. Nobodody in their right mind should ever listen to this guy.
Mr. Limbaugh, it's people like you that is the reason why our economy is in such a shamble, you are a no body, go back to doing your drugs, you moron. You are a very uneducated big mouth, no one's scared of you, you should be scared of the fact that, you may get shut down, mouth almighty..........you such and your show sucks...........get a life and go on slim fast..............
Limbaugh is a complete idiot. He claims to love America but wants to see the President fail before he even does anything. Where was Limbaugh's outrage when the Republicans were running our country down to the ground.
President Obama is not frightened by Limbaugh. President Obama has the will of the people, high approval ratings by most Americans and the goodwill of the world, and Limbaugh is respected by uneducated, racist, rednecks (those few millions that listen to his radio show). Trust me, Obama is not afraid of that. What Americans are afraid of is that there are people who listen to Limbaugh that also want to see Obama and America fail. THAT IS WHAT EVERYONE IS AFRAID OF. And that is unpatriotic!
Oh Rush, you're such a junkie and a big, fat jerk. I just don't know what to make of you!
I bet they would like you more in some other country, like Turkey.
Please take your dittoheads with you.
Bob
what a pompous blimp. Clearly off his meds. again.
The only thing Obama is afraid of is that Rush will look at his daughters the wrong way. Rush might think he is back in Guatamala (known for under-age prostitution). That's where Rush was busted coming from with all of the illegal viagra he had.
Oh please! I hardly doubt Obama gives much thought to him at all.
so we all are rush, so we all are
As Clint Eastwood would say....... " A Guy Like That Needs To Shut His Face ".......
why do people listen to this lunatic?? He is not God He is not even informative....
Does this pill popping idiot actually believes President of USA is afraid of him?
Rush Limbaugh's grasp of reality is tenuous, at best. He is clearly suffering from delusions of adequacy and is now totally irrelevant.
If it helps you sleep better at night, Rush.
Oh pleeeessssee!! I think you are more afraid of him...or rather, what he represents (which is the majority of us here Americans!). Your take on the world is quickly becoming obsolete....thank GOD!!
Time to retire Rush. BYE, BYE
Not only is President Obama scared of you, we are all in awe of you; you great big gorgeous hunk of a conservative, red state, head up your own, but I digress, talk show commentator!
Keep the faith baby, only a week less than 8 years to go!
It seems to be ages ago that I admired Rush Limbaugh as the outspoken truth-teller that he was. My father was enamored with his conservativism. Today, he seems to be the ancient, toothless lion who makes a lot of noise but can't do much, a mere irrevalence, a partisan who cares more about close-minded Republican dogma than truth.
SURE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Somebody so educated, intelectual, and sophisticated like President Barack Obama is going to be scared of somebody like you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHAT A WISH!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GET A LIFE MR. LIMBAUGH
Great comeback Gibbs!!! I love, just love, this new beginning!!
Now that's funny. Obama doesn't give a hoot. This is Limbaugh trying desperately to remain relevant when the entire nation has moved ON.
If Republicans want to get their party back on track, they've got their work cut out for them!~ For starters, perhaps they should consider disowning this loudmouth.
Nobody, including Obama, appreciates an ignorant hypocritical defeatist. The country would be much better off without fundamentalist loons like Rush on both sides. He takes the cake for sure. He's just trying to fire up his ratings like he did during the Clinton years. Unfortunately there are plenty of listeners willing to listen to him babble about nothing.
Can't someone just silence this pig?
Get a life, Rush.
slap rushes facist face
Rush? You mean drug addict Rush? You mean send every drug addict up the river except me Rush? You mean use my money to keep my fat butt out of jail Rush? You mean lie to the feds Rush? You mean get illegal pain killers Rush? Gee, is this the role model that the republican party wants to align itself with?
Obama doesn't need to talk to Limbaugh because he represents the fringe of the far right, a tiny portion of Americans who are on their way out.
Please stop giving the delusional rants of this drug addict the attention he is willing to say anything to get. He is not a political commentator, he is an entertainer, and I for one am no longer entertained.
Rush Limbaugh is worthless.
So this drug addled jerk is the point man of the conservatives now? Does he not realize it is this diatribe that nailed them the last two elections. Keep up the good work rush drive this broken ideology into the ground so it will never see the light of day again!!!
I am a staunch Republican, but Limbaugh does not scare anyone. He uses his radio show to intimidate and expose what a complete close minded moron he really is.
OK Llimblobbbbbbb!! You only wish.
Yes, definitely switch the channel fast. The guy is a legend in his own mind! His listeners are simply legend wannabe's.
The mistake many make is thinking that wisdom comes in numbers. Actually one can be amongst billions and be more profoundly intelligent than the rest.
Rush Limbaugh, in my mind, is a loud mouth opinionated waste of my time.
Rush is a pill popping jerk, who does he think he is anyway? I laughed out loud when I read what he said. The best thing you can do with people with big heads like he has is just ignore them, they do what they do for the attention they can get to make themselves seem important. As for the other jerks that listen to him they are just more of the same.
What a joke, the President of the United States and leader of the free world is afraid of a drug using radio anouncer. Wow just when you think you have heard it all.
Rush Limbaugh is a legend in his own mind. Why in the world would President Obama be afraid him? Despite his broad "ditto head" cult group Rush has NO power because if he did then McCain and Palin would be in office and not Obama and Biden. President Obama on the other hand holds the most powerful office in the world so who should fear who? Besides any person that hopes faliure on the president of our nation and calls themselves a TRUE American is a crock. If Obama fails, then we as a country fail. You don't have to have voted for or even like the president and not want him to be successful. But I guess when you make millions of dollars then a sick economy with high unemployment is the least of your worries.
Rush you are a Joke.
Please stop covering stories about Rush Limbaugh's incendiary statements. He is a fanatical one trick pony whose welcome on the media landscape has expired. Like Hannity and the cloven hoofed coulter- rush's rantings have become pathetic, and tired. Lets tell the news, not lend any credence to tabloid talk hosts.
Part of the logic of having political parties is that it keeps everyone relatively honest. If a clearly dominant party were to emerge and move the other one out completely, then it would be an unequal distribution of power and the dominant party would run roughshod over everyone (power corrupts; absolute power corrupts absolutely).
I say that it keeps everybody "relatively" honest because we still end up with people like Blago and Jack Abramoff and Dick Cheney.
All this being said, we also end up with the far extremes, and Limbaugh falls into this category. He is so extreme that he is irrelevant. Even the Republicans would like to forget him.
Rush Limbaugh is symptomatic of what is wrong with the Republican party today. He is clinging to the old style, simplistic, black & white (no shades of gray, i.e. nuance), labeling, non-thinking, inflammatory style of rhetoric that so many people are tired of. It is too bad that he still has a pretty large following, but I believe most of his followers are the types for whom the term "critical thinking" probably means something from a movie or TV show critic's opinions about the latest B-grade entertainment show. I believe that if the Republican party is going to continue to be relevant, they need to relegate people like Rush Limbaugh to the dust bin and start supporting more mainstream intelligent spokespersons who can articulate some alternatives when dealing with the complex issues we face today.
I hope Rush Limbaugh fails.
I always thought Rush was psychotic.
This just proves it. A delusional loudmouth moron. What a guy.
REPUBLICAN Governor Arnold Schwartzenegger got it right with this pill-popping gasbag a couple of years ago when he said that "Rush Limbaugh is irrelevant". It's because of politicians that fall into lockstep with Limbaugh and buy into the neocon flawed philosophy that he espouses that we have these economic troubles. Obama is right–NOT RUSH!! Politicians–READ THIS AND UNDERSTAND– If you don't do what is right for our country–Dem or Rep(I couldn't care less!!)–then expect to take another drubbing in the next election. The American People are tired of your repeated foot-dragging, excuse-making and finger-pointing. You work for us. Work together to do the job that we the voters elected you to do-GET IT DONE OR GET OUT!!!
Who should be afraid of this overinflated windbag? The guy is out of touch and sick that most people who used to buy into his mindless grovel are either dying of old age or starting to realize that Rush is completely out of his gourd.
You think you are important Rush. You think you are helping, but you are only making it worse...Pres. Obama said it best in his inaugural speech, we need to come together and work hard to bring our country back to prominence.
Limbaugh, the loathsome junkie swine, is a never was "has been" of the rancid right. How do you spell pompous loser dirt ball: L-I-M-B-A-U-G-H.
Limbaugh...get over yourself
A bunch of verbal raspberries to Rushie.
President Obama welcomes discussion, conversation, and discourse...but not diatribes focusing on people's fears.
I agree with President Obama we should all stop listening to this drug addict who can't keep his marriages together. Rush Limbaugh calls himself the moral conscience of America and his personal life is no example. Practice what you preach rush, until then I'm not buying.
Rush wants the attention and if not for the people who listen to him, he would have no power. I doubt Obama will mention him again and he probably only wanted to address the nonsense once to truly encourage bipartisanship. The people that listen to him should at least admit that he's been known as a drug addict.
Rush is going to have a field day with Obama! This is going to be fun.
More precisely, Obama surely realizes great danger of extremists like this radio host. Everybody should realize how dangerous extremists are. I am indeed very afraid that they may launch something as bad as last eight years in some other form. When greed and extreme ideology help each other, country may end up in ruin.
Why does the media even give Rush Limbaugh the time of day? To say he hopes Obama fails, says he hopes we fail as a country and as a world. It is ridiculous that the President even needs to waste time talking about this person.
Frightened? How about "Obama dismisses me"?
Face it, Rush, you're a fringe player. The far-right wing will always adore you, but the rest of the country wants to get something done. Agree or disagree with the President, give and take until the plans are in the best, most workable shape, then work TOGETHER.
If only we could bottle Limbaugh's gas, there would be no energy shortage.
What a MORON !
The fact of the matter is that Rush and all his right wing hack radio and TV show contemporaries did all they could to keep McCain from winning the republican primary. they failed. They don't even have the power in their own party to influence outcome. They then tried to stop Obama but failed, badly.
Rush is fading. He is a small pocket of no power.
I'm sure that is scary to him. He is a megalomaniac who has been marginalized because he proved to be nothing more than Cheney's water boy.
I believe Mr. Limbaugh should be more concerned about our economy (getting out of recession) than taking on Obama who in fact is his president. Saying that Mr. Obama is frightened of him isnt the best message to his listerners.
I'm scared of drug abuser Rush Limbaugh – who wouldn't be frightened of a guy who spouts hatred and invective for hours at a time? Sure wouldn't want to be in a room alone with that nut case.
Rush Limbaugh is a traitor to this country. He preaches hate and he is relying on his listeners to spread it. If it is not his idea he thinks you are a idiot. I think all those illegal drugs he shopped for are working on "that talent on loan from God".
Our planet's inhabitants should be frightened of Rush Limbaugh. I can't believe he would want two presidents in a row to fail. That sends a message Rush does not care about America; just about Rush.
Rush Limberger is a Communist! he actually HOPES we fail?? why that's positively UN-AMERICAN!!
Poor Rush. It's tough now being a minority. He needs to free himself of his anger, and give into Hope and Change. Our nation is unifing and Rush is scared. Rush wants seperation not unity. There is no longer a place in our nation for Rush and it scares him. Obama is not scared of Rush, Rush is scared of Obama.
Hey Rush,
If you consult your Right Wing Table-Pounders Handbook, you'll see what happened to Joe McCarthy when he thought he could take on the President of the United States.
Limbaugh is an idiot!...Obama should just ignored him. It's not worth the time. There are more important things to take care of.
Ha Ha ...
The irrelevant grasping at straws always come of as pathetic ...
Rush Limbaugh in 2009 = irrelevant.
In 20 years time there will be no Republican party.
Some people talk about doing something (Limbaugh)
and other people actually do something (Obama)
Does anyone still listen to this fat idiot?
I watched Limbaugh on Hannity's show, and it is true,. . .his elevator does not reach the top floors.
The Obama administration must continue to keep the high road and avoid this type of distraction. Rush and his cronies know their voices are no longer resonating in the lives of everyday people and now they are running scared seeking cheap publicity. In this election, the American people spoke loud and clear and said no to fear- and hate-mongering. Rush, be the "Great American" that you claim to be and most of all grow up!!!
The most enjoyable thing about all of this is that Limbaugh actually believes that the President of the United States actually cares about what he says.
Limbaugh, guess what? You are small man in a big world, and you are not nearly as important as you seem to think you are.
But it is fun to laugh at you so thanks for that.
Why does this hatemonger still have a show? Instead of trying to get behind the progress of our country, he's trying to bully the President-leader of the free world- into an interview. if this self-serving peon has a syndicated talk-show, then any loudmouth with an opinion has potential. He proves once again that he's nothing more than a human publicity stunt.
Rush is right! I can't recall another time when the President of the U.S. requests people to not listen to a radio broadcast. What's next, complete Democratic control of the airwaves? He is obviously afraid of Rush, who represents only a few in the media who haven't fallen down to worship him. Even the mighty Obama can't overturn our rights to freedom of speech.
An old cliche applies to this situation, with respect to advice for President Obama:
"Never wrestle with a pig. You both get dirty, and the pig (limbaugh) LIKES it."
Get over yourself, Rush. Besides your small loyal group of listeners, nobody cares about you!
Limbaugh is a monster...all that's missing is the stitching and the plugs in his neck...Obama is 100 times the man Limbaugh will ever be...Limbaugh is the lowest form of parasite imaginable....why is this idiot payed so much and given a show to rant on he should be in jail
What a bloated ego. The fact that we should care about fear as celebrity value is horrible. I cannot wait til the Rush link of the human species has expired.
Rush, please run for something. Anything. Unless you're scared, of course.
He's a coward who talks from the safety of his insulated echo chamber, struggling to stay relevant to his wingnut audience.
It's official; Limbaugh is delusional.
Obama will fail. All of his ideals are 100% wrong. We should be doing the exact oppisite.
Wake Up Libs! But you wont, and you can't untill it's too late.
You are doomed! He and the dems will destory the US and then take your freedom.
Wake Up Libs! But you wont, and you can't untill it's too late.
You are doomed!
Rush WHO??????
I think Limbaugh is very unamerican, you would think he would only want the best for our country, Limbaugh must be back on drugs again any one with common sence wont pay any attention to what he says I sure dont.
Limbaugh is just one of the many people that Obama is smart enough to ignore. He is among of few nagative peole who are out there that dont mean a thing!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Limbaugh is just sounding in his own stupidity!!!!!!!! How sad, We will prevail without him. So sad a man is he!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ridiculous. Talk about delusions of grandure.
He says he wants Obama to fail consequently America to fail because of his own ego. Anything he has to say would only have the intent of the failure of this next president. That is why he shouldn't be listened to.
Let him talk. He is owed freedom of speech, However, understand from where it comes.
God does love America, --even obnoxious,radio mouthpieces have a right to make a buck and a right to free speech. Somebody please tell Limbaugh to post a blog if something goes right and makes him happy ! You have to let the President have a chance to be a hero or a bum and the next 100 days will tell the tale, -or you could ask George to come back for a while !!
what happened..Russ your Dr.'s stop writing scripts for you.
If Limbaugh really thinks Obama is afraid of him, he needs to get over himself. Obama has more intelligence and grace in his little finger than Limbaugh has in his whole body.
It's easy to just talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, and talk but not ever really do anything. Run for office, Rush, and show us what you got.
And Mr. President, if you happen to read this, just ignore that idiot. He doesn't matter.
Good Grief...the only frightening thing about this windbag is the fact that anybody gives a darn about anything he has to say.
Everyone should be afraid of Rush. He claims to love America but has yet to show how he is willing to work together to overcome the present problems. All trash talk and looking for a way to make money (listeners) over the good of the country. Just like the banking , stockmarket and investment business it is only me, me, me and not what is right for the people of america.
Rush, take your money and buy some pills.
Russ is doing his lipservices to whoever pay him the most.
Scared of a fat, drug induced person that should be in jail for everything from drug charges to voter fraud, yeah right
Everybody is frightened of blow-hard radio comedian Rush Limbaugh – “the great divider” (usually through bluster & lies). I have never been able to figure out why anybody ever listens to the man and I am even more astounded that his opinion counts for anything since he has been caught blatantly lying so often. I continue to be shocked that CNN gives him any exposure whatsoever. His twisted breed of ultra-conservative fact mangling has caused about as much damage as Bush did. As a matter of fact, Bush was able to do as much damage as he did with the full support of Limbaugh's bald-faced lies. The fools are those who think anything he ever says carries any weight at all. In my personal opinion, he is a racist, neo-con pig. And that particular breed cannot go extinct fast enough.
What a dumb thing for Obama to say. I never listened to Rush but now I'm tuning in. Wonder how many new fans Rush has because of Obama's statement. I think O is out of touch or doesn't quite understand.
Why does our new president even acknowledge this hack?
President Obama gives him more credit than he's worth.
Ignore the hate-monger.
If Blabbaugh has all the answers, why doesn't he run for office?
Answer: He's a coward.
Keep on listening to this clown and the Republican Party will be flushed down the toilet.
My only comment for Rush Limbaugh is that he's unpatriotic. Shouldn't we all support the president? Isn't that what Rush, Fox News and others on the far right preached for eight years? Rush Limbaugh is no better than Benedict Arnold as far as I'm concerned. He is a traitor to his country.
Oh, I wouldn't be so sure of that, Rush. Hello? Rush? Hello? Are you joking again?
Rush Limbaugh, you are a big fool. Our President Barack Obama, who is also your "PRESIDENT" is not scared of you. I am sure he feel sorry for you. We, citizens of United States feel sorry for you.
As from today, any evil you wish the President will go back to you. Any negative requests you wish, I wish all upon you.
I also ask God to take control of you. You are so senseless and childish. You call yourself a christian which you are not, God will definitely take control of you.
This Limbaugh needs to get over himself as he's no longer relevant. His more than 15 minutes of fame are over and he's only a mean-spirited SOB as are most of his proponents. Power mad and pitiful.
Tell Rush to go grab his, uhum...meds!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh, and SHUT UP!!! You make conservatives look bad Rush!
Rush is the Foghorn Leghorn of talk radio.
Rushs' name should be Richard Cranium.
Now he's enjoying what he perceives, is the limelight. Undermining a need for this country to get back on track. What a lowlife. He's trying to undermine a great Presidents' hope and determination to do so! He's also trying to undermine all of us that stand behind Obama. He's trying to make a bigger name for himself than his well nourished body!
He has the intellegence of a tree frog.
It's like watching Ali vs Holmes. Poor Limbaugh just doesn't realize his time has past. You crooked old hack, it's time to retire.
Delusions of grandeur.
Sorry for the typo.
Sounds like Rush is back to popping pills. That'll make you hallucinate, which is obviously what's happening here.
Would you please stop giving this idiot press! He says whatever he wants and most of the time he doesn't sound like he has a clue what he's talking about. Limbaugh is afraid of his own shadow.
Sorry Rush, NOBODY is afraid of YOU! Who could be afraid of a big mouthed, un-American, racist, drug addict, hypocrite that is hoping for the failure of an American President! Sorry Rush, the polls are closed. We the People reject you and your divisive BS. Now go away!
Once again, Rush Limbaugh proves how delusional his thinking is by opening his mouth. But I guess a radio pulpit is a pretty safe place from which to spout his hate and discontent. I will celebrate the day when he is no longer littering the airwaves...
Yeah, he's scared Rush. Scared to invite you over for dinner because there might be a drug bust in the White House with you there. Or scared you and your Klan buddies might want to have a "talk" with him. After all, we all know from your stint as an NFL commentator how you feel about minorities right?
This is just another dumb redneck looking to extend his career on the president's coat tails. Rush, your fifteen minuted of fame ended about 10 years ago. Go home and give it up. I'm sure there's a pill bottle in the medicine cabinet waiting for you.
nobody's frightened of you, you old windbag
you don't even deserve upper case letters or punctuation
Limbaugh is as absurd as he is irrelevant.
And I'm the pope
This nut needs to be in a mental institution.
Why would anyone be afraid of gasbag Rush Limbaugh? Just give him another pill and send him on his way. What a waste of skin!
The only "fear" Obama has of Limbaugh is the bills he'd rack up from his Oxy habit if a national health plan ever emerged! Who listens to this wacko anymore? Oh yeah ... right wing evangelical nutjobs.
He's afraid you might steal any prescrips in his medicine cabinet.
Joe the Plumber, you got a job to do, please fix Limbaugh filthy mouth, its stincking.
"mr" Limburger ... you are LESS than the toe-jamb under my toenails. Go take some more drugs and leave decent people like PRESIDENT Obama alone.
Rush, take another pill and take a long, long, long nap. You are truly sick.
You are certifiable, Rushie (rhymes with Bushie).
Wake up and smell reality ..... if you possibly can.
I love seeing you sooooo desperate!
I think a lot of sane, rational and intelligent people are afraid of Limbaugh. He is a scary guy – it's a sad state of affairs that someone like him has his own talk radio show and there are people who actually listen.
Hey Rush, instead of antagonizing your President and your fellow citizens, how about coming out from behind the microphone and doing something to help our country instead of spewing forth your useless comments. Go volunteer your time to feed the homeless, comfort the sick and dying in a local hospital, raise money for cancer or Parkinson's or stem cell research – DO SOMETHING THAT REALLY MAKES A DIFFERENCE.
Ahh...Limbaugh...no one is afraid of Limbaugh; he's just another burned out hypocrite whose shrinking fan base has left him as a de facto leader of a small contingency of bitter, ignorant, and uneducated white men.
Limbaugh has the most to lose in an atmosphere of partisonship and goodwill; it is Limbaugh who is afraid.
There's the perfect example of a narcissist. And a fool.
Take a pill Rush...
I'm a registered Republican. And people like Rush are what pushed me to vote for Obama. He is a despicable, ugly person who will not be missed when his days are at an end.
I think the President picked a fight he can't win....and I love it. I hope Rush cuts this smarmy schoolboy down to size. I have no respect for this usurper and media darling. Get em' Rush!
Stick to your oxycotin you worthless piece of trash! Anyone who wants the President to fail wants America to fail!
If Rush Limbaugh cared about America and our Poltics so much, then why hasn't he ran for office? Simple, Limbaugh doesn't care about America! Limbaugh only cares about the millions of dollars that he makes form his talk show. A lousy show that only exists to make him money. Limbaugh is in the Game of Seperating and Dividing Americans! The more people fight, and the more our political leaders fight, the more Money that Limbaugh makes! If anyone is afraid of anyone, then it's Limbaugh afraid that Obama will Unite Our Country, which would kill Limbaughs dirty talk show!
Ya, Ok, Rush. The young, fit, intelligent one holding the highest office in the country is afraid of the overweight, irrelevant, aged addict.
If there is any force of karma, the days of hate will retire with you.
It is going to be quite amusing listening to the (hopefully) last generation of good 'ol boys trying to explain to their offspring how the white men with the southern values are superior to everyone else.
So keep digging that hole, it will only be a matter of time before the people who actually listen to the fictional garbage you spew will wake up. And you, like the rest of the incestuous losers who supported the last 8yrs of corruption, segregation and incompetence will go extinct.
For the rest of us, you did not exist in the first place.
Peace.
It's nice to hear that Rush Limbaugh wants the new president to fail. I guess his fame is more important than the welfare of the citizens, because if this president fails, we are all in trouble. Aren't we all getting a bit tired of this nasty stuff? Clearly 70% of the country is. Maybe Limbaugh's sponsors will take a hint.
Rush Limbaugh is pathetic and a loser, and so are the unthinking people who listen to him. No wonder why he's single. Who could stand being around such a hateful human being 24/7. It is amazing to me that anyone can even stand listening to them. They're all just as hateful.
Afraid of the gaseous aromas coming from the wind bag...that makes sense.
Limbaugh has no dignity. He should not be treated the same way as decent and dignified individuals from the other side of the aisle. I am not surprised Obama would like to avoid his ideas even becoming involved because Limbaugh has no love for most Americans and the sooner he disappears from public life the better off the world will be.
What a joke! No one cares what this white racist moron thinks! He must really be losing listeners at a tremendous rate to try to keep his name in the news.
Limbaugh is an ignorant nutjob who should be pulled off the air so we can be spared any more of his hate-spewing absolutely ridiculous outbursts.
I am sure, like the rest of America, Obama could care less about Limbaugh and his irrelevant and out-of-touch with reality statements.
Maybe Limbaugh needs to rachet up his drug use and drift off into the land of "who cares"!!
What a joke! If Limbaugh wants to see failure – he should just look in the mirror.
It appears that Press Secretary Gibbs and President Obama quickly learned that if you wrestle with a pig, you both get dirty. However, the pig enjoys it. In this case, ignore the pig. Limbaugh knows his relevance to the national debate, except with fringe ideologues, shrinks with each day.
so says a fat joseph goebbels. Rush would bring in the fourth reich if he could. I think it is safe to say he is popping pills again.
It's a pity that when the entire nation , and world as well , is facing daunting times someone is using the air waves to propagate division , hate and pessimistic messages. We should be united regardless of color, regiligion or party affiliation to help rebuilding the nation.
This is like someone wishing a Doctor to fail an operation because he/she doesn't like the patient.
If Rush thinks that the mention of his name scares Obama, then it proves he's in withdrawal again and having delusions of granduar. Whats truely laughable however is that there are still those even in these times of despair that truely listen to this man. How many more jobs must be lost. How many more plant closings must occur. How many more families will be reduced to begging before this idiot and others like him recognize the damage they have done to this once proud and prosperous country. This isnt about Red states or Blue States. Its about the UNITED STATES! And frankly its time they get on board OR PACK and Leave.
doesnt this guy have pills to pop
I don't think any "thinking", intelligent person even listens to this fool! What an ego! And why would ANYONE wish for their country to fail! This just shows Limbaugh is more interested in "being right" than in what is good for his country! What a hypocrite!
PS – I am FRIGHTENED of the educational system that PRODUCED you ... hmmm ... or perhaps you SHOULD have been left behind ...WAY behind.
You are the north end of a southbound beast of burden.
Limby is just like Coulter. Just like Palin. Just like O'Reilly. Just like Hannity. Just like Rove.
If you don't have any original ideas, tear down the other guys'.
Be controversial! It's good for ratings. And that equals money.
Irrelevant. Irresponsible. Idiotic.
Lol, Lambaugh really needs some attention doesnt he? lol
We should all be scared of Rush Limbaugh, he's nuts!
Rush, are you high again?????????????????????
Poor CRAZY Rush(must be dem oc's), known what I hope you fail at life
.............oh wait you already did
I wonder what would have happened if Bush had ever singled out private citizens like oh...say Mathews or Oberman or Oprah or Joy or Baldwin or just about anyone in Hollywood. We will never know because Bush was not a whiner like BO.
Who is Obama to think that he can tell ANYONE who they should and shouldn't listen to on the radio.
This is a SHINING example of the censorship efforts that are about to begin in the Congress and White House.
Obama's attitude smacks of the belief that he is a king and it is DISGUSTING.
I'd be scared of him too. His words incite racism and anger in millions of Americans. But then again, bullies are usually scared of things too...
Why do people listen to this loser?
Ooops, I forgot that a majority of Americans don't believe in evolution.
Maybe someday they'll climb down out of those trees.
No one would be frightened of you, you sorry piece of-
Seriously now, Rush needs to get a life and a hobby. His ego is too big for his fat head and statements like these are only hurting the country at a time we need unity.
Rush, Don't flatter yourself. He's the president & I imagine he's busy.
Take a hike Rush. You're unreal.
President Obama's desire to silence Rush Limbaugh is consistent with his M.O. Bill Clinton said that (then Presidential candidate) Obama had the political instincts of a street thug. Perhaps he hit the nail on the head. If you follow President Obama's career you would see his method is more to eliminate any opposition rather than incorporate various points of view. Republicans have three things they must do for the next four years. Oppose, expose then depose. They should not give the Democrats Political cover under the guise of supporting the president.
More evidence that this man is delusional...
President Obama has turned over the the dark side of DC and has embraced the partisan politics of Pelosi and Reid. He is fast becoming the model of hypocrisy.
PS Thanks for appointing a tax cheat and liar to head the IRS adn Treasury.
PPS $250 million for condoms, and millions more for swimming pools sure does not sound like a stimulus bill - it wreaks of pork. Maybe that is why Senator McCain said he could not vote for it.
Mr President, you lied to us all.
Rush must be back on that oxy... he sounds high.
A hypocrite with a big mouth...need I say anymore...I'm white.
Are their really people out there that still listen to Rush Limbaugh?
This guy makes me sick.
Rush hates America. Why does his opinion even matter?
Obama is wrong...EVERYONE should stop listening to that idiot...
You an idiot if you are still listening to this fat pig! Please go away like the snow queen !!
What an IDIOT!
Rush is a joke and the attention given to his statement(s) is a joke.
Just about every hardcore far-righter/neo-con wants whatever Dem is POTUS to fail so his statement to that fact was simple political banter.
If Rush believes, because PRESIDENT Obama referenced his style of trash-talking as un-beneficial to the country and the tasks at hand, as someone not to listen to, then his head is as big as that contract the radio station gave him.
Rush and Hannity are two of the birds on the national level that USED to be entertaining to listen to when stuck in traffic. Now, they are useless to the nation.
This country HAS to work together to find middle-ground solutions to these problems that will affect most of us – rich and poor – sooner or later.
I don't agree with far left policies for social or fiscal issues.
I don't agree with far right policies for social or fiscal issues.
I agree with the policies we middle moderates promote on our websites and in our homes...
"Most problems should be solved first in the home by prevention and education. Any government involvement should be few, far between, and at a systemic/institutionalized level that does not stymie individual achievement, risk/reward, or responsibilities".
Rush AND Hannity are boisterous, boorish bores...and Boortz is a wannabe.
Any sane person would be afraid of you. You are one scary dude Rush!
I agree with President Obama, Mr. Limbaugh is so negative with all the hatred he seems to dish out. People should avoid listening to his conservative talk show which only fuel the fire to failure and doesn't allow faith, hope and a better future for all who listens. Avoid Mr. Limbaugh like the plague.
This person is nothing but a bully; I wonder if he would dare to be so unpatriotic by disrespecting our President were the President not black. Instigating his listeners to not be united under Pres. Obama is not in the best interest of our country.
Childish as ever, Rush is resorting to schoolyard tactics. Next he'll be drawing a line in the sand with his big toe. Couldn't he just quietly go away and let us get something done?
It's probably not worth reporting what Rush has to say these days. He's irrelevant, and more concerning...he's irritating. There are probably more positive stories to report.
Good advice and long overdue. Nobody should ever listen to Rush Limbagh...seriously. I can't believe he makes money doing what he does.
Blardo limbaugh is one of the biggest things that have been wrong with this country in the last 8 years. The other troubling problem is the dunderheads that listen to him and give him one iota of credence
This guy is becoming so Irrelevant, so dinosaur like, so in the past and so goofy.....why is anyone giving him anytime anymore? It’s a shame that some one in the past gave him some mega amount of money to be a mouthpiece. Sorry for the excess spending corporate heads but don’t keep trying to get your moneys worth. America isn’t buying his BS anymore. He himself says he’s just an entertainer....get off the stage Rush – no one wants to hear about you anymore.
Who does Rush think he's kidding? I think Obama meant something more like "This guy doesn't have anything worthwhile to say in this discussion, so don't waste your time listening to him." Rush, If the only way you can feel worthwhile is to cut someone else down, you need to get a life and another job that gives you an opportunity to find another direction.
The fact that Obama acknowledges Rush speaks volumes of Obama's lack of stature. You are the President for God's sake, start acting like it.
Most people are frightened of drug addicts like Limbaugh....especially if they drive!
Rush is just to rally his base, he's more afraid of losing listener than Obama is of him
Afraid he'll EAT HIM, maybe. Man, Rush. An ego only matched by your turkey neck. And your suitcase full of narcotics.
We are all scared of you Rush. The oly thing more frightening than an idiot with a microphone is a hypocritical idiot with a microphone who loves himself.
It would be pretty hard to be afraid of a self-important wind bag like limbaugh!
I wish somone would rip out his vocal chords...he doesn't deserve to be on the radio.
Rush is an idiot. He is a manipulative, lying, racist, narcissist, who must still be taking prescription drugs illegally. Combine that with an ego larger than Texas and you have a pathetic individual looking for any way to stay in the spotlight. Before the next 4 years are up, Rush won't matter anymore, as if he ever did.
Morons like Rush Libmaugh should just shut up and stop creating more problems for our country. Right-wing idiots like you already skrewed up everything they could.
BWOO HAH! HAH! HAH! HAH! HAH! HAH!
RUSH, I have never paid attention to you before. Why would I start now?
Oh, right! A great laugh!!!!
Rush to usher in a new era of bipartisanship and love? He need to marry Ann Coulter. This would be the news story of the centure.
Quite the contrary. Rush is scared of Obama.
It's great to see first Palin and now Limbaugh try to figure out how to stay relevant as the world shifts away from their failed ideology.
I love it! The right wing radio fear and hate-mongers got their clocks cleaned in the election. So rather than accept reality and chart a new course, these dinosaurs continue to either rant and rave or tell their well-informed educated audiences (as if!) how brilliant and powerful they are. Keep up the good work guys (and gals)!
Rush must be back on the 30+ Oxycontin a day. The reason that Barack would tell the GOP politicians to not listen to Rush is not because he is afraid of him (hilarious!) but because Rush is a cancer that needs to be stopped. The more that people listen to that insane man, the worst things will be and we will never be able to come together.
What a blowhard! We're all scared of Rush, but not for the reasons he thinks.
Limbaugh is an egomaniac and a bigot. He made unsubstantiated race based criticisms of Donovan McNabb as beign media hype despite his success of taking his team to the divisional playoffs multiple times. And his overall body of criticisms of Obama boil down to no black person gets anywhere or achieves anything by merit unless it was an affirmative action handout. His comments about Obama's race, his victory, and his policies are all testiment to Limbaughs underlying prejudice and bigotry toward black people.
Anyone else who said they wanted the POTUS to fail would be taken off of the air. I guess Clearchannel's $100 milliion investment (despite them laying off/firing hundreds of other employees) is testament to the hollowness and frustration of so many other Americans. If Limbaugh really cares about people and America, he should renegotiate his contract to save a few of those people's jobs.
Limbaugh is a bigot. There is no law against it. But that doesn't mean he shouldn't be recognized for what he is.
Rush Limbaugh, Obama is not 'frightened of you'. It is about time you get the message, OBAMA is president. No matter what you say will change this fact, accept it and be happy.
When is this guy going to stop promoting his own stupidity and just shut up?!
Rush Limbaugh, and Ann Coulter, are two of the best friends the Democratic Party ever had!
Anyone who takes them seriously is as delusional as they are.
It will be a sad day when these motivators of liberals get less air-time.
Geez, get over yourself Rush. We won the election so get over it, it's people like who spread hate in America.
I could care less what Limbaugh thinks and I doubt many CNN readers do either. If I did care, I'd listen to his venom on AM radio. Please don't allow CNN to be stained by his filth.
Such an irrelevant human – what a waste of skin – and I mean a lot of it!!!!
Really, Rush?
Can't you just see it? Obama telling people not to listen to Rush Limbaugh because Obama fears Limbaugh's intellectual prowess?
Perhaps Obama is worried that the same people who listen to Limbaugh will also rally behind the Republican party's other leading scholar: Sarah Palin.
When will both of them JUST GO AWAY?
Obama is "frightened of" Limbaugh. What a laugh. Is Mr. Limbaugh back on the drugs again?
Limbaugh: I am frightened of you too! You are a conservative on the other hand and a drug addict on the other hand which the last time I c checked were mutually exclusive! But then again, that is ok! You keep amusing me!
RUSH, is a fool OBAMA was correct when he told the GOP lawmakers not to listen to RUSH, and no OBAMA is not affraid of RUSH, all he is a loud mouth full of hot air fool who likes to see the COUNTRY divided with hatred.
he MUST be shrooming....
Obama is the freaking President of these United States. and he's afraid of a blowhard.
yeah... ok... let's go with THAT...
Obama would OWN fatboy intellectually...... OWNS HIM....
he can cry that bull all day, every day... it will never make it true.
If I didn't believe that Limbaugh, or el...?something Mexican?, as I think he likes to be called, wasn't so terrified of losing his radio business that, very ironically thrives on dividing Americans, I'd think he was the biggest idiot on the face of the earth! But hey, you can't blame him. Who would want to lose $35million a year? And in the meantime I'm sure that terrorists and enemies of America of all stripes are cheering him on!
Rush Limbaugh, what a bag of hot air. Who actually cares about what he’s talking about, I don’t…
This fool is so full of himself. He gives himself far too much credit. I guess President Obama needs to also remind him that He won the election also.
He is truly un-American and boarding on a domestic terrorist in my view.
Now this guy is a friggin joke.
No, Rush, you don't scare Americans who want the President and the government to succeed. We are saddened by those who put their own ideology ahead of what is best for our country.
Limbaugh..you are so stupid!
Rush is on drugs again......
Um mm....... Why would Obama be afraid of a crackhead....Oops I'm sorry someone who abused prescriptions drugs? Obama and his administration should leave Limbaugh to his own antics and focus on resolving the issues in this country. Limbaugh is like a neglected child starving for attention. Mr Limbaugh "It is better to be thought of as a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt" . President Obama is afraid of Limbaugh!!!!!!!!!!!! ROFLMAO
Oh sure, a 3 time divorcee and drug addict – you got lots of room to talk.
So when are you running for President. Come on big guy – put your money where your big mouth is.
Why wont Rush run for office?? He has so many great ideas. LMAO!!
He cant even handle a relationship with the opposite sex. Married 3 times. What a loser! Addicted to drugs!! Look in the mirror and fix that and then try to fix the country.
Obama is not frightened of Limbaugh, he just does not allow anyone to disagree with him.
Rush Limbaugh is just a jester...errr...fool.
He says things to get people riled up, and his success has plumeted him to the lowly ranks of AM talk radio.
His comments are often racist and bigotous, and show that he has time and time again failed the legacy of his father and grandfather.
This man takes jabs at those who are better men than to sink to his level. He speaks out of ignorance, and with a closed mind.
It is sad that there are still those out there who haven't woken up to the times that they are in. Those who still clinging to the tired, old thought patterns that have led us astray for so long. And yet too foolish to see the error of their ways. What's more, they stubborly and defiantly spew rhetoric of a time that is gone. And keep the hope that they can hold back the ever forwarding progress that this county has made.
Men like Limbaugh have been left in the dust, and have only their flippant, and ego-centric minds to keep them company.
That's right you bloated scumbag...keep that negativity flowing...eventually you'll drown yourself.
Yeah, with an overwhelming mandate, Obama must be shaking in his boots. I would think he has more important things to think about than increasingly irrelevant blowhards like Rush, Hannity, Coulter, et al
I don't think so....... For sure hot air.
Please Rush give the country a break the Republicans loss the election and that is a fact. President Bush destroyed the Republican Party for years to come.
Please keep on talking nonsense I do not listen to you anyway.
Now this man is so ridiculous, he needs to get off his high horse. C'mon, scared of him? His ego is clearly in need of some major ribulding... And that sarcastic " now this is the great unifier" just shows HIS fear that Pres. Obama can succeed and actually help America progress. I bet that even some republicans have to recognize that this man is just full of it and he only uses their vulnerability to steer them towards hate!!!
My, My.... I have made a habit of saying that the Republicans are "TOPS" because they just spin..spin..spin... and now we have the drug addict of the radio talk world, truly TOPS in his area of work
spinning...spinning...spinning....
Thank you America... my children and grandchildren thank you... you have elected a President that will give them a chance for the life I was able to have. You should be proud.
This person should be confined.
Yup its that old (69yrs) white-retired guy from Ma. Former Republican
BRUCE
Think, Pause, then Speak
Rush is a mental patient. He is the reason why the republicans lost so badly. Hatred and bitterness. Just plain evil. Rush take your pills and go home!
Rush – Stop whining and do something constructive.
Rush must be high
He can keep on preaching hate and give us another 4 years. Fact is no one is going to vote republican ever again as long as the base of the republican party attached to this conservative want to be christian rhetoric.
At last! Rush Limbaugh has finally said something that's truly funny!
He's an Entertainer, after all.
I'll give Rush 100,000 to 1 odds that BHO could take him at any competition ever known to man except for a belly flop competition or a hot-dog eating competition.
Limbaugh..You are so stupi!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.......
must be his meds again.
He's afraid you'll SIT ON HIM fat boy on oxycontin... that's all!
Oh, that Rush... He's just high again.
This man is delusional and needs medical help.
Why should the most powerful person in the world be frightened of a drugg addicted gasbag? Limbaugh believes his own hype. Even a couple of Republican strategists on TV said he was out of line when he hoped Obama failed.
Rush L. is certainly no one to be proud of. Talk about being a unifer he isn't. This man is the right wing nut case republican that has followers beleiving heim. Not Me!
When I read this headline I almost spit out my drink.... LOL @ Rush
His schtick is getting sooo old... like 1991 old
it is very sad to listen to rush limbaugh make all kinds of comments and remarks about the then presidential candidate Obama and now president Obama.i dont know whether he really takes interest in what american families are going through on a daily basis or he wants to amuse himself behind his daily microphone....he is a confutionist, a social distractor and someone who likes to sow seeds of hatred among well meaning americans whiles he sits back and laugh...he sincerely does not like Obama but that does not mean a thing to Obama or many well meaning americans....i wish rush will be able to come up with a sustainable solution to our economic crisis otherwise he should stop his daily nonsense and look at what unfolds with our new and reliable Government.
Why is this guy always angry? Why does he always want to fight? He generates more hates than good for the people. People should pay no attention to him.
Rush Limbaugh is an ignorant man, who deserves nothing but disdain for the hate he spews.................
Obama is not scared of you. You and your BIG MOUTH is what got Bush and this nation in problems now. To want a PRESIDENT to fail is wanting AMERICA to fail and also is a bad signal for your crappy party.
Operation Chaos Is Coming Together Swimmingly! By bashing, Rush Obama gets to control what it is Rush squawks about for the next 72 hours or so. He gets Rush to show how partisan and divisive he really is, and forces less conservative allies to defend Obama. Just look at what Bennett was forced to say on CNN in the interest of fair play and progress. What could be better then having the conservatives in fight over how Rush is wrong. While that goes on Obama can advance his cause without opposition. The GOP is in for another 40 years in the wilderness if they don’t Hush Rush.
I have that Obama succeed for the sake of this country that was left by your beloved Bush in the worst shape since the depression. Imbuagh seems to focus on his own agenda and nothing about the country.
Frightened of Limbaugh? Bored and sickened by him more likely.
Not everyone is going to agree with everything Obama says, wants, or does. They need to get over it.
Rush needs to understand as well with the rest of these loons that America spoke and we are tierd of all this ideology. We are not living in Biblical times – this is now and we need real solutions – ones that help our people – not the buisnesses that are shipping our jobs overseas. Please, Republican bullcrap is getting really old and no one is listening unless they are down right stupid.
Rush Limbaugh, who? So insignificant. A true patriot wants his Commander in Chief to fail (that's so American).
After 8 years of Bush/Cheny and failed Republican ideologies....the Obama camp and Democrats alike won't be flustered by right wing attacks.
It was those attacks that HELPED us get elected and it will be those attacks that will HELP us succeed.
Republicans need to truly re-build there party so that they can work on growing a base outside of the Southern states.
why is this pill popper still around?!!! who cares
Rush Limbaugh's an idiot and so are those who listen to him and believe every word he says. Unfortunately there are too many. Life would be so much easier with a few less Limbaugh's, Hannity's and O'Reilly's.
Everyone is afraid of Rush. He might sit on them.
Limbaugh, conservative. Ha ha what a laugh. most of the so-called conservatives are nothing but a bunch of hypocrites. Liars, half truths, pill poppers, drunks, cheaters, more concerned about their careers than they are the american people. they are called THE RIGHT? the dickens you say!!!!!
Limbaugh wanted Obama to win to boost his flailing ratings. Now, he's got a target. He's a non-factor and anybody and everybody knows it. So, he's gonna throw out verbal caca every once in a while and see if sticks to the wall. If CNN and other news based information entities would simply ignore him like most of rest of the free world does, he'd simply slip silently into that good night . The reason nobody listens to him is he really has nothing inciteful or knowledge based to say about anything. He's a shrill person on his soap box with no conscience .
Sorry Rush. You might not respect the man, but at least respect the office. Saying you want Obama to fail is the same thing as saying that you want the country to fail and to descend even further into an economic abyss and ruin. America made it's choice, and sorry bub, they've had enough of the kind of people you stand behind.
Can't Rush just go away? I don't even care if he goes away quietly as long as he goes. Yeah, if the people running our government in WA are smart they'll stop listening to Rush because America said ENOUGH to the kind of attack dog negative crap people like Rush and Anne Coulter spout on a daily basis.
I hope that Obama succeed for the sake of this country that was left by your (Limbaugh ) beloved Bush in the worst shape since the depression. Limbaugh seems to focus on his own agenda and nothing about the goodness of the country.
CNN the "Pot Stirrer". Rush Limbaugh said that he wanted Obama to fail if it meant we had to have a government based on Socialism. CNN please report the entire story and not just "certain words" to incite trouble between liberals and conservatives.
I can't believe 20 million Americans listen to this guy. Reading his website, he is so full of himself. If you analyze what he says, it doesn't make much sense. And he wants the president to fail. I pity the people who listen to him. They are openly declaring how prejudiced and dumb they are.
Oh go pop another pill.
this man (term used loosly) is so full of himself
but I guess this is how you sell yourself on radio
Not really,
Most likely he despises you and probably believes you to be WAAAAAY below his attention. Alas, since humanity is rather dumb and you are clearly a human you will not understand this.
OOh Rushbo You're so scary!
Mr. Limbaugh is a disgrace to all Americans. No one should want Republicans to fail, or Democrats to fail- but for America to succeed. His view of politics is unwavering, uncompromising partisanship- through which nothing can be accomplished. Our government needs to renew the spirit of unity that was once present in our government (although not for a long time) so that we can see the benefit of all Americans, and the demise of all failure.
One must wonder what is rooted in a psychology of this nature, so often proven to be spreading lies and misinformation, yet so convinced he is absolutely right and anyone different is absolutely wrong. It is a primitive mind that must reduce the world to such absolutes.
Who is this guy? Companies are laying off thousands of workers. Our economy is the worst it's been in our life time. And....we are fighting terrorist all around us. And all Limbaugh can say is he hopes Obama fails. If Obama fails our country fails! Just because Obama is not a Republican, Limbaugh wants our country to fail. What's wrong with this guy! If Republicans don't agree with Obama, come up with something better! Stop disagreeing just because. This whole Democrat vs Republican stuff is old!
Mr. Limbaugh is a verbal terrorist to the American people!
I can't stand that jerk!
How dare Mr. Limbaugh threaten the American people by wishing that Obama fails!
What a jerk you are, Mr. Limbaugh.
I hope Mr. Limbaugh fails !!
So the right wing guru says President Obama would like to usher in a new era of bipartisanship and love. Sounds good to me. I think Rush is the one who is frightened, scared Obama might pull it off.
A self made man, that worships his creator.
Rush, I'M frightened of you, and of everybody who thinks that you have actual interest in ANYTHING other than the multi-million dollar radio deal you have, and stirring up controversy to make sure your paycheck remains fat and sweet. YOU scare the heck out of me. Fortunately, our President is smarter than most, and I actually trust him to take on these problems we face and come up with solutions that put our country on the correct path.
go to college rush
More like he thinks limbaugh is an idiot, as does a majority of the country.
Anyone who wants the president to fail isn't a real American. Bush's policies may have failed, but no one wanted him to fail for the sake of the country.
this guy must be dumb(rush)
Limbaugh is a irrational and basically irrelevant windbag that should be on Saturday Night Live!!
Rush Limbaugh is the biggest walking bag of fertilizer on the planet! Why would ANYONE be afraid of him......especially the president? He is so full of himself and his self importance. Too bad that he is a legend in his own mind. Only his fanatic, lunatic fringe wing nuts follow his teachings like they are the gospel. Rush, if you should get bored with looking at yourself in the mirror and take the time to read other opinions and stumble onto this blog, please hear this. No one listens or cares what the right has to say anymore. You lost!!!!!!!!!!!! Get over it. If you were to lose your job as thousands of people have, You'd be the first one in line with your hand out! How dare you criticize the president and hope he fails! I hope that all of your venom and hateful ideas come back to bite you in the - someday!
What a raging narcissist. Why does anyone let him open his mouth much less pay him to open his mouth.
I hate Limbaugh , walking and talking like he is above all. He makes my skin crawl!
Rush Limbaugh is so irrelevant!
RUSH LIMBAUGH REALLY THINKS HE IS SOOOO IMPORTANT. IDIOT!!!!
Rush..... reallly? You give yourself waaaaaaaay too much credit.
Obama for 8 years!
Please tell Limbaugh to take a couple of pain killers,as apparently he is quite familiar with that! As for President Obama,it does have a nice ring to it,does it not.Limbaugh of course is a "Nut Case",always was always will be.Better yet tell him to take 3 dozen "pain Killers"and then he can rant and rave in the looney bin where most certainly he belongs.As for Obama being "frightened by this character"-give me a break,although if I were his wife or children ,I would most certainly be "frightened" if he does have such a connection.Just a comment.
Obama made a mistake by even mentioning his name–because Rush never misses a chance to purposely mis-characterize a statement if he can use it for a little self-flattery.
Does anybody really listen to this moron anymore?
I guess I'll be the first to comment on this egomaniac... When are guys like him and Sean Insanity going to just fade away to irrelevency or just change the way they spew their hatred and divisiveness?... Probably never since their core audienece is filled with idiots that can't or don't think for themselves, racist to the core, and think solutions are always being absolutely against someone else's views... Solutions are brought about when opposite sides come to the table ,iron out what the answers could be and meet in the middle somewhere.... just because i disagree with 99.9% of a religious persons views doesnt mean I disreguard everything they say... Its about compramise not "if you disagree with me i'll just kill you" which is what religious people do by the way.... anyway back to this boob... RUSH , TAKE SOME MORE ILLEGAL DRUGS, GO SIT DOWN SOMEWHERE BECAUSE YOU ARE BECOMING MORE IRRELEVENT AS PEOPLE WAKE UP TO YOUR B.S
I think Rush is racist but is very smooth about it. I shouldn't be on the air saying that he wishes the president would fail. And what makes you think the President is scared of you, you have too big of head.
Anthony
California
The only thing afraid of Rush Limbaugh is a hamburger and fries.
I will go up to this baffoon anytime. I am perhaps 1/20th as smart as President O'Bama. Let me know of the date, time and place.
Oh just shut up Rush is this all you have got. I understand you are a bitter little man but get real I don't think Obama is afraid of you, more likely he is just saying what we all think you are irrelevant and no one should listen to you because you have nothing relevant to add to any conversation except hate.
President Obama won and the race is over can you just move on and let us worry about the important things like the economy, even if you don't agree with President Obama he is your President and you should show him a little more respect than this.
Actually, he was warning his Republican opponents that you are a better friend to him than you are to them.
But if you're back on your drugs, I imagine that escaped you.
Are you back on those drugs again?
Dear Rush,
Shut up already.
Hate merchant (Rush), you are just feeding your bloated ego.
You are already been marginalized by well-meaning Americans who love their country and have a stake on it success .
Your ditto -heads are losing their jobs in the thousands and you are wishing that the president fail in his attempt to create job and opportunity for all.
I'd be scared of Rush too! To me he has NO credibility. He's your basic, run of the mill drug addict who spews hatred and devisiveness and plays only to his base. Any other drug addict would be unemployed after receiving treatment. Rush and Hannity DO NOTHING to help bring this country together to correct the problems we have. They support NOTHING democratic, good, bad or otherwise. There will NEVER be any bi-partisanship when you have people like this out there. With all the problems this country is facing, you'd think they'd use their power and influence to do something positive. Their type of tactics NEED to be silenced. Of all the years that Rush has been allowed to talk his crazy head off....I know of NOT ONE THING they have done that has helped Americans....NOT ONE!
Limbaugh is a pathetic joke. And the fact that GOP legislators would give him any credibility tells you why the GOP has failed miserably.
I'll be afraid of Rush also. Espaecially standing face to face with him, if he dosen't pop a mint in his mouth because of all the garbage that he talks.
HA HA...Rush is so pathetic.....not to mention unpatriotic. It must suck being the lone hater.
pssssst Rush..... you lost, get over it...It's a new world now, our world.
Stop flattering yourself, Limbaugh.
Rush is so full of himself! I guess it is all of the drugs that he is on.
Get over yourself pal, you're about as fearsome as Sarah Palin, and SHE could see Russia from her house.
Rush Limberger is a legend in his own mind...
Yes Rush he is afraid of you because you could cost him the election.....Uh, Oh... He's already won. LOL Hey has that bigoted crowd of listeners dwindled.
More like Obama doesn't have time to deal with mindless fools when the country has more important things to worry about than partisan rhetoric from political hacks.
Grow up Rush. You're part of the problem. You don't promote unity. With you it's always us against them.
Don't flatter yourself Rush. You are irrelevant and most thinking people could give a rat's behind what you have to say or think.
This guy is a joke all he does is talk about the same thing over and over ,his radio show is a puppet show how can a normal person listen to this drug addict and liar .
Regardless of political persuasion few talk show hosts behave as unprofessionally as Rush Limbaugh does. Independently of the balance of power there will always be an ample turnout of conservative republican voters, and plenty of these constituents disapprove of Mr. Limbaugh's tactics. He is fully entitled to his beliefs, but he will continue to accumulate many enemies along the way.
It is in Obama's best interest to ignore Limbaugh indefinitely. He has nothing intellegent to say. It doesn't make sense to respond to a fool.
I am scared of you too!!! You're such a creepy, druggie psychopaph!!!
Just goes to show you what an idiot Rush rreally is. It should not matter who our president is or what party we belong to. The simple truth is that we are all Americans and no matter who our president is, we must choose to want to see him succeed!!! If you are wanting to see Obama fail, then you might as well join a terrorist party because they are the ones who want to see our American leader fail. I did not vote for Obama but he has my support and I hope for all of us that he will succeed.
Obama afraid of Limbaugh?! Is an elephant ever afraid of a barking stray dog on the street?!
Afraid of a fat drug addict!? Doubt it.
Everyone is afraid of Limbaugh...especially when he's hungry!
Limbaugh now more than ever is lost in his battle of hate and disdain against a man and a party that will be among the greatest in American political history based on their overall success. More importantly, however, RL's inability to rally his party to a similar level of despise indicates he is very much alone. His hate is slowly disposing of his core. I suppose it could end well, His fall could thrust him into a dark enough place that he decides to become a productive human being.
HA HA He is what I call a comedian! he should be in a movie like "Dumb and Dumber"
I don't think even Rush Limbaugh is stupid enough to think the President is 'afraid' of him. He is smart enough, however, to know the more he makes these bonehead comments, the more CNN and Fox News other entertainment channels disguised as news channels will report on them.
Does anyone really care what this weirdo junkie really thinks anymore? I didn't vote for Obama but I want him to succeed, maybe Rush is back on the pills again..
Limbaugh really does desparetly want to be relevant. He doesn't realize that the only media that pays attention to him is the CNN political ticker. Which is pretty much the funny pages.
This man needs to shut up. he is just craving for attention.
Rush Limbaugh is an overblown, pompous idiot that unfortunately has a microphone. Unfortunately for America, he has nothing constructive to contribute to the conversation. My mother taught me that if I couldn't say something nice or constructive, that I should keep my mouth shut. Gibbs has the right idea. Who cares what the heck Rush thinks?
You are a jerk, an obese one too. You ought to be ashamed of yourself. You are the worst example of an American that could ever be witnessed. However, what do you care? You are a sick, morbidly obese poor example of a human being who has money and little else. Pop another pill to calm your raging insecurities that will never subside, because they are real, not imagined. The worst thing I could wish on you is for you to continue to live your lonely, shallow life knowing the next phase of your inadequate existence will be spent making up for the present. There is always a price to pay, and brother you are so screwed.
God bless and keep Obama, and a pox on rush limburger.
Obama scared of an oversized, pill popping mouthpiece for an adminstration that left this country involved in two unwinnable wars and an economy gasping for air? If he is scared of anything, its that this country is in so much trouble, in so many areas, that there may be no digging out. Thank you George.
Rush is the problem if he was all that then why won't he run for office .But first he must disclose his Drug problem
Limbaugh is a nincompoop which proves if you don't have anything intelligent to say or any constructive solution to a problem you just mutter nonsense. He doesn't deserve any airtime much less getting paid for uttering such jibberish.
Limbaugh can only wish that Obama is afraid of him. This man has been a joke for years. The old saying "Give a man enough rope and he will hang himself.
You should team up with Sarah Palin and both go on a one way trip!
This guy is looking for some attention =)
Hey Rush why is it that you and all the other Obama haters didn't speak up in Nov, Dec, and waited until January 20 at 12:06 to take your shots at the economic condition. No one is afraid of Rush Limbaugh, anymore than there afraid of the Big Bad Wolf.
I'm hoping that you NEVER get the chance to speak directly to the President. That kind of hatred is nothing new
That right Rush. Our President is scared of a Oxycotin poppin' moron who can't even speak coherent sentences. Thanks for the joke though. It made my day.
Instead of wishing for President Obama to fail, Mr. Limbaugh needs to be doing all he can to help this country move forward. We need more bipartisanship and a whole lot less of the back biting and finger pointing!!!! I am ashamed to call myself a Republican. Grow up Mr. Limbaugh and give the man a chance!!!
All people of goodwill who want this country to be unified should boycott the corporations that support hatemongers such as Limbaugh.
These people make hundreds of millions of dollars by spewing their hate across the airwaves. They count in the support of the 10 or 15% of the country who are rabid racists, and who will never change. And these people seem to be stupid enough to celebrate a man who wants the President to fail...
They fail to understand that if Obama fails, then the country fails, and THEY are the ones who will be losing their jobs, etc. It is the Republicans who got us in this mess, and it is only the Democrats who will get us out of it. That's how its always been. Wake up, America. Boycott the companies that support Limbaugh and his divisive pals!
Will this man (and I use the term very loosely) stoop to any level to get attention and ratings?
First the hypocrisy of stating that all drug users should face capital punishment, then getting busted for drugs. Then the debateably treasonous/seditious statement that he hopes the Obama will fail (yeah, if the president fails, then we the american people who he represents fail as well). Now this?
When is he going to finally going to crawl into his little hate filled hole and fade into obscurity so the rest of us can get back to the job of fixing all of the screw ups that his religious right wing conservatives wrought on our fine nation over the last eight years?
Limbaugh is a hopeless, pathetic individual who has never held an honest job in his life. His Effluent in Bulk network is a joke to Americans who actually use their brain, those who studied and learned the complexities of life. I must admit that his ego is quite impressive, however. It's sad really - in 100 years, no one will know he existed, and that he surely did not matter. Those who actually do something in this world - in health, science, philosophy, the arts - will be remembered in work or deed Centuries into the future. But not the sorry losers like Limbaugh and his friends. It must be terrible to actually waste a life, as he has done. He could have used his talents to better humanity. Instead he has chosen divisiveness and whining (albeit at a high decibel level). Turn him off, and give him the attention he deserves.
Rush has more ego than a Baptist preacher.
Oh please. Is the man back on Oxycontin?
Rush Windbag has an ego that just don't quit. How anyone could listen to him is beyond me. He wants Obama to fail and that says a lot about the man. As a former independent, I can say with absolute certainity that people like him and Hannity and Caribou Barbie have turned me into a Democrat and I'm proud of it.
Ratings falling? Just go away.
Limbaugh needs to stop making such comments about the new president. Its like Limbaugh is not even open to new ideas. President Obama is generating new ideas to push the nation and the economy forward, like previous presidents before him. And how is Obama "frightened" of him? Why would Obama have any reason to be frightened of him when they work in different circles? Limbaugh does have the right to voice his opinions, but not lies. If Limbaugh is wanting the spotlight, he's getting one alright. And in my opinion, its completely negative.
Saying anything to create a controversy fort the dying conservative cause. No one is frightened by this old druggie
The drugs have definitely rattled this man's brain....if he still has one.
who would be afraid of a foul mouth addicted to drugs
or back on them, he is clearly low on viewership and desparate
Don't inflate Rush "The Junkie" Limbaugh's ego anymore by even acknowledging him. Fill him with anymore hot air he'll burst!
Rush Lumbaugh is an idiot!
He is the reason that this country is in the mess that it is in today. He says some of the most stupid things and people believe him. I am sure that "Joe the Plumber" and Rush are very close.
i feel this rush needs to be in the nut house, he sounds like he has a serious problem, that whole underground movement has problems. it is a shame that these people are trying to divide our country, but they can and will not, we, the american people will NOT LET THIS HAPPEN.....
we should all be frightened of anyone who is as bigoted, dishonnest and incendiary as rush limbaugh or sean hannity, just as we should be frightened of the KKK or skinheads. they can do more damage to the country than the terrorists ever thought of.
This man is an ENTERTAINER. Nothing more, nothing less.
I know as much about politics and procedure as this bloated oaf. But because ignorant people have allowed him to be their spokesperson, he receives far more attention than he deserves.
Ditto-heads: THINK. READ. Then READ and THINK.
Do NOT allow Rush Limbaugh or anyone else dictate to you what you should believe.
What a idiot, drug addicted moron. Please for Gods sake go far far away, you make me sick!
Let's see........Pill poppin' loudmouth says he wants Obama to fail!
How UnAmerican!
No wonder Obama wants people to not listen to this clown.
Nothing personal, but we're ALL afraid of him...
Who is this idiot and why is he talking? Did he escape from a mental institution? Uh-oh I take that back, I dont want to insult mentally ill people. Lets ship him to China or Cuba, they will straighten this guy!
Saying anything to create a controversy for the dying conservative cause. No one is frightened by this old druggie
Sure, Rush . . . he's trembling in his boots . . .
Rush Limbaugh, should be careful, he should watch his big mouth. He is playing with fire, he just does'nt know it yet.
Just to get media attention and to provocate radio listeners (cheap marketing tactic) is really not helping the American people, by negative comments to the U.S. leader.
By the way, this is the first time we have elected an intelligent, a true president. Had President Obama been the leader since 2000, we would'nt have had to sing the economic blues?
Supporters of Rush Limbaugh do not understand that he must be happy with Obama's election since it means job security for at least the next 4 years. They also don't realize is that Rush is a carnival entertainer selling "snake oil" to an easily deceived audience.
Yawn...
Yes he should be afraid of college flunky that only attended because he needed a deferment because he to cowardly to go to war. Move on like all the women in your life Rush. The country is in terrible shape and Rush is part of the problem. America is tired of all the BS that goes on in Washington and we want someone to clean it up. If that person is to be Obama than I'm behind him.
President Obama afraid of Limbaugh? Please...
Rush is 'A JOKE", I wish I could be Obama for one day because it would on! I would literally catch a charge because he talks too much.
Limbaugh -
You are irrelevant .... He's the President of the United States of America ... get a grip on yourself
You are not fit to inhale the carbon dioxide that he just EXHALED!
quit giving that wretched windbag all this press; you've already fooled him into thinking he's at all relevant
Looks like Linbaugh is needing a little bit of attention...he sounds like a school yard bully...rather annoying.
Limbaugh delivers tons of misinformation, denial and discord each day. He spouts off on what he doesn't know in a pseudo-authoritative manner that is quite irritating. I tune him out by identifying with a quote by Nixon: "Those of you who think you know everything are annoying to those of us who do."
Umm, afraid? Are you kidding? Maybe worried about you pushing drugs on his daughters. Maybe concerned that you'll teach them hypocrisy. But fear, you really do live in your own little world, don't you?
President Obama doesn't have the TIME to be scared of this loser! He is working on SOLVING the problems CAUSED by the Republican administration...Limbaugh will NEVER get it. He's just a big bag of WIND.
Limbaugh is a lonely old man who has nothing more to do than to tear down people who have given their lives to the better cause of mankind. He's lonely inside, and uses his personal attacks on others as a smoke screen to hide his pain... what a sad case he is!
Creep!
Get over yourself looney drug additct Limbaugh. Your comments of wanting Obama to fail are outright treasnous as you are wishing America to fail.
ha ha aha....just a minute I need a tissue to wipe the tears from my eyes..that is the funniest thing I have ever heard. Barack Obama, Harvard educated is afraid of him................oh man, SNL couldn't write stuff funnier than this!
Right on schedule–Rush Limbaugh's weekly attempt to remain relevant. He, Palin & Coulter appear to be in a desperate struggle to entertain the few remaining Neo-Cons left.
Poor Rush. Will someone please tell him that his ranting is one reason so many people voted against the Republicans. If him and Sean keep it up, there won't be any Republicans in office. Thanks Rush for all you are doing to set this country back on the right path.
This clown has been rendered obsolete. I wish he would just go away.
This man is as crazy as he looks...yup, I would be afraid of him...his looks scare me...this loony needs to be locked up.
Considering the current state of affairs and the rate at which they continue to deteriorate, anyone wishing for the President to fail is foolish. If the President fails, where does that leave the rest of the country? I can't wait until the day comes when Limbaugh's audience realize that they're smarter than he is and have no reason to listen to the blustering windbag.
Limbaugh's comments should not be justified with a response by President Obama. Ignore Limbaugh's monologue and get on with the business of managing the country.
If Limbaugh's such an expert about everything, why doesn't he do something good for the country, such as running for office or even having a show that comes up ideas about how to change things for the good. Oh wait a minute, that wouldn't make money for the show.
I sincerely doubt President Obama is afraid of Rush Limbaugh! Pres. Obama would probably like people to stop listening to Limbaugh because Limbaugh has only divisive and hateful things to say and Pres. Obama would like to get our country working together again. Imagine Limbaugh saying that he would like Pres. Obama to fail–which means he would like our entire country to fail. Now there's a patriot for you! Limbaugh will say anything to get a rise out of people. He seems a hateful and pathetic person to me!
Rush Limbaugh represents all that is wrong with American media..
Thank God, Rush plays to such a small audience. Like Bill O'Reily once said; this is how I make a living. To bad their commentaries don't represent reality!
I am frightened of Rush Limbaugh.
He is a lunatic.
Why do you print ANYTHING this man says...
Could there be a bigger ego and a bigger buffoon than Rush Limbaugh??! Go away you nasty little man and back into the hole you crawled out of.
Rush Limbaugh said "you wish failure on the president". You, Rush Limbaugh, you will fail in your show by the end of February. I wish failure upon you.
God will see to that failure fall upon you, Rush Limbaugh.
Why does anyone pay attention to this slob anymore? No one should look up to this drug addict
Rush Limbaugh is quite irrelevant. He may have some followers who are regretably the same folks who find Sarah Palin relevant. We need to focus on those individuals who are important and can help make a real difference; whether they are Democrats, Republicans, Liberals or Conservatives. Limbaugh is simply an entertainer. He is a chubby, bitter old man. He is only interested in stirring things up. Remember back in school those kids who were acting up to get attention? ignore them and they will go away...
limbaugh makes me sick to be a Republican
All the haters need to move to a different country. Iran would be a nice fit for you. We are trying to rebuild this one. Limbaugh obviously don't have anything else to do. It is evident that Limbaugh is hanging on President Obama every word and action. Go get a life!!! The American people don't need your negativity nor did we ask for it!!!!!!!!!!
Limbaugh is a joke!!!!!!!! CNN you should not entertain such foolishness before your ratings really drop. We are really tired of the media finding fault in everything said or done. President Obama is doing exactly what he said on the campaign trail and that is what the American people voted for. The American people realize you can't make everybody happy and Limbaugh has chosen just to be a miserable person that we all need to pray for.
Wanting your country and your president to fail? Is there any bigger jerk than Limbaugh?
Only an idiot would listen to someone who wants the president to fail. If the president fails, the country fails. Does he want the economy to fall apart? Does he want the President to fail at protecting us from terrorists? Rush is pretty much asking for another 9-11.
Rush Limbaugh and his "EiB" (excellence in braodcasting?) network should walk east 'til hats float. Here's a person who sits on the sidelines and spews his invective five days a week, who apparently is so incensed by President Obama's victory that he now has at least another 4 years' worth of venting all worked up.
Maybe he just likes to hear himself talk.
I think old Rush is just trying to keep himself employed!
The only thing that Rush is worried about is being removed from any prominent role in his party as they start to come to grips with reality and realize that a cancer like Rush was the reason why they were blown out of the election by Obama and the Democrats.
Keep on fighting to stay relevant, you callous pill-popper. I'd love to see you tear down the Republican Party while you're trying.
Fear of limbaugh? nah...sick and tired of his innane, spiritless, nasty comments along with Hannity and Coulture? yup. this country is trying to heal after 8 years of disgusting, lackless, spiritless "leadership" and every single time you try to listen to these guys and have any sense of country, all you hear is hate mongering. Obama is not afraid, no one is afraid of these cowards, we're just tired of listening to them speak and say nothing of substance...its like the ventroliquist dummy only there is no one with their hand up their backs...there just dumb.
Yeah, I'm sure the leader of the free world is quaking in his boots over the rantings of an obese drug addict.
Wow. Sad to see an idiot trying to stay relevant.
Rush is proving himself to be the narcissistic, cry-baby we always knew him to be. He's smarting because he wasn't invited to dinner and now he's proving he's anti-american and unpatriotic by telling people he wants Obama, the duly elected president of the United States to fail. That's treason Rush
Bo should be frightened of him. It must be frustrating to hear someone who can complete a um um um um um um sentence.
Who are the idiots that listen to that unamerican, egotistical, drug addict? Limbaugh is a disgrace and should be deported.
All you are trying to do is make money off of hateful rhetoric in our time of crisis...you will be remembered as a pit stain in American history.
Is this the same Rush Limbaugh that said that HE'D VOTE FOR HILLARY when his boy didn't get the GOP nomination?? HES A BLOATED HATEFUL JUNKY HYPOCRITE!! DO REPUBS HAVE NO ONE BETTER TO SPEAK FOR THEM??? MY DAD WAS A REPUBLICAN, BACK WHEN THEY DIDN'T SOUND SO STUPID AND HATEFUL.
He is obviously an idiot, who needs help mentally and yet people still give him attention...People – stop feeding this attention starved sicko...He has clearly stated that he wants President Obama to fail and to me that is directly refering to us failing as a nation. To all of the haters out there against President Obama, we need to recover from this mess we are in regardless of who's in charge and this type of stuff is like someone going to a cancer ward in a hospital and laughing saying "I hope you fail" to the doctor who is giving his best effort to make things right with this deathly disease....
May God have mercy on his soul....
So limbaugh is off his meds again
Nobama is the "great unifier". What a joke. He's the great empty suit, the self-important whiner who can't even take reporters' questions. It doesn't matter that Nobama doesn't listen to Rush, he doesn't have to. It's enough that someone is daring to criticize the Great One. He's sickening.
And if anyone has a question about where the media stands, check out the coverage. If Bush had done the same things Nobama did, such as naming a Treasury Secretary who doesn't even pay his taxes (and many other things), the media would be reporting A NEW ADMINISTRATION IN CRISIS. But it's Barry, so they barely find anything wrong. Nobama would have to strangle a bunny rabbit on "The View" for there to be any criticism of him.
Rush the Mighty Wind Bag of the South is an IDIOT.
I really don't think the White House should waste precious time responding to drug addict Limbaugh. This helps him, not the party.
I hope the president and his cabinet will concentrate on the nations's business and let limp baugh continue to slowly disappear from the radar screen. That small group of people that follow him are not enough to worry about.
Rush bimbo...what a moron!!
Limbaugh is obviously delusional. It's entertaining that he actually spouts this egotistical babel after the whooping his party just took.
This country is in a very bad position on many levels and all Limbaugh can do is try and tear the person down who was elected to lead us. Sad, it really is.
We're all scared of you, Rush....
you pill popping lunatic.
He must be poppin those pain pills again! Looks like a return to the rehab center is in order...
Limbaugh is not intelligent nor is he a true american
Better lay off the drugs Rush. As for that bipartisanship, I think he was talking about Americans... not you.
This boy should be in behavioral modification therapy somewhere with a dose of thorazine ordered as a prn. I believe he will then be in heaven.
I think it's great that we have people in this country that are so partisan, they will hope for failure. It doesn't say much about Limbaugh and his listeners as Americans. While I am an Obama supporter, I would have been behind John McCain had he won the election. This man and his kind disgust me.
He must be on drugs again or just desperate for attention. No one is afraid of you, fatty. You have no power to do anything except complain.
You mean Rush has a problem with being irrelevant and marginalized??? What a shocker.
Wow....he needs serious help.
Today a friend of mine sent me a very recent photo of Rush Limbaugh and so I thought I would share it with you folks at CNN. Unfortunately when my wife saw the photo she flushed it down the toilet were sane people usually dispose of this "EXCREMENT"
What a buffoon! Like anyone with half a brain listens to him anyway. Whatever, Rush...
Quite the opposite is true. It's obvious that Limbaugh is scared of Obama. Republican ideals are on the decline, and Limbaugh sees his power and influence waning and Obama's and the Democrats' growing. If it continues, Limbaugh may continue lose popularity and listener-ship. If so, his show might begin to be canceled by stations, and his career might be in jeopardy. This is a case of the pot calling the kettle black.
No Rush, just nobody cares about you any more...
Limbaugh is an IDIOIT....His lack of education keeps shining through
Rush wants President Obama to fail, if Obama fails this Country fails....How can anyone who says they are a true patriot wish that on his fellow men, women and children of this country and for generations to come .............someone needs to put a plug in his pie hole
stupid
LIMBAUGH IS A LOUD MOUTH AND A SORE LOSER. I DON"T
THINK THAT OBAMA CAN DO ANY WORSE THEN GEORGE
BUSH DID. WHAT GOOD DID HE DO FOR US. THIS COUNTRY IS IN A MESS THANKS TO HIM. AT LEAST GIVE THE NEW PRESIDENT
A CHANCE. I THINK IT IS VERY UNAMERICAN TO SAY THE THINGS HE SAYS.
Calm down – takes some of your dope – and SHUT YOUR MOUTH! You are obscene and obnoxious and are out there just to make the news.
Limpballs frightens me too, he's a llunitic. If he wants our President to fail then he must want our country to fail. That's obvious because that's exactly what would happen if the President fails, You see what happened to our country when Bush fail, there isn't a President in history who has ruined our country as much as Bush has. We are fighting our way back from failed policies , lie's and a unnecessary war and this mentally deranged idiot sits on the radio and spreads hate and gush's ignorant obscenities.Limpballs is a drug addict who has lost his hearing and his mind has gone with it. I think he should be in a mental institution.
What a hateful waste of breath.
Really, Rush? It kind of seems like it might be the other way around.
Limbaugh always has been and always will be a pompas hypocritical windbag. The fact that people actually follow this idiot and have for years amazes me. If he is successful in one way it is by cashing in on the ignorance and meanspirited nature of a good bit of conservative America. I seriously doubt that the President of the United States is afraid of him- egomaniac. Go take another Oxy Rush... your heyday is long over.
Oh please... Obama has a country to run and he doesn't have the time or lack of intelligence to play back-and-forth with Mr. Limbaugh. Nor is he afraid of him – Obama is ten times the man rush Limbaugh is or ever will be.
Limbaugh is a joke.
If Limbaugh wants to disagree with Obama's policies and call him an idiot... fine. While he certainly has a right to say whatever he wants, saying he wants Obama to fail is dumb. It's like being on a sinking ship and hoping the captain can't make it to port in time to save the ship, all to prove you were right all along about what route to take. I don't think Obama is afraid of Limbaugh so much as pissed that this dude is spouting off these things and not really doing anything to help.
it's not that he's scared of you...he just is against fat pedophilic drug users that have no remorse for anyone that is not faithful to the party. rush, you wacko, go crawl under that 400 million rock you came out from. Now, if we want to bail people out, rush should donate his 400 million salary to the poor. no...he won't do that, that would mean that this idiot needs to do something nice for a change. He's such little...oops, i mean ugly overwieght jerkoff...that he would never do that. Now, if sean hanity asked him, i'm sure the idiots at fox news and the eib network would do it...schmuck.
Rush is a racist...listen to him sometimes...everytime I do, I have to change the channel b/c I feel like throwing up.
Rush is a nazi sympathizer...again listen to him!
Rush is a drug user...look who's calling the proverbial kettle "black!"
Rush is overwieght, Obama is not
Rush is an idiot...Obama is not
Rush is scared...because he needs to do something to get some attention!
Go to Hell rush.
I'm scared of you because of the lies you're able to make so many believe.
If Obama fails, America suffers. How could you say you want him to fail? Rush is out of touch. The reality is that the American people have clearly spoken. We want the change that president Obama has promised. Now that the election is over, Obama is "our" president. He is the president of all of the American people. So, give him a chance. To do otherwise is un-American.
In your dreams, Rush.
EVERY Republican voted against Clinton's ecomonic plan in l992. EVERY ONE. Then 8 years of economic prosperity.
Rush is obviously still on the pain killers....
Nice shirt collars nancy boy!
President Obama has better things to do (like bring our troops home from Iraq, work on our failing economy, among a few items) than worry about this useless and unfunny windbag. This is not news and it stinks of desperation.
It's no long about you, Rush and your loud mouth propaganda. Stop trying to pull a PALIN and keep your name in the news. Yes, RUSH=SARAH – how do you like them apples? Brains and beauty – neither one of you have them.
Someone get into Limbaugh's office or home it appears he is on his favorite dope again . I guess next for him is smuggling illegal viagra into the country again from south america. He seems happiest when he has a long dark round cigar[iguess] stuck in his mouth. It appears to act like a pacifier for him.
if i remember correctly, this fellah named Rush is a pillhead, liar and cheat. i mean, why else would he be going to Dominican Republic with his pals and a satchel full of Viagra. it's amazing he's still on the air. and more amazing that CNN would give him any exposure. as we say here in maine, "shut up, Limberger."
Limbaugh, and you think your comments are a unifier? Do you think your comments help the Republican Party? Do you think any Republican worth his or her salt wants our President to fail? Is that what you want your fellow Americans to have to go thru? Take President Obama out of the picture. Any way you look at it, you are a babbling idiot! When you open your mouth, stupid comes out. I agree with Joy Behar, the oxycontin has saturated your head. Notice I said head instead of brain (which I seriously question that you even have).
limbaugh, hannity, coulter....all jokes
He was much funnier when he was downing those pain pills like M&M's.. He did stop taking them ???? Didn't he ??
Rush is a fool
Seriously?!
CNN gives this guy the time of day?! He jumped the shark 10 yrs ago. He is an addict of prescription drugs and a racist. This doesn't say much for his narrow-minded, ignorant, and uneducated listners.
you disgusting opportunistic pig, crawl back under the rock you came from. pathetic.
conseratives give rush too much power. he's a bigot with ignorance.
and any one who listens to him needs to have their heads examined
Ever the idiot.
There are plenty of intelligent, well-intentioned, and articulate conservatives in this country. THEY must speak up and express their views and be heard. Limbaugh, like Sean Hannity and Glen Beck, appeal to people's emotions and fears rather than their minds.
I consider myself fairly liberal, but I think we need a strong conservative voice in this country. Please people, listen to George Will and Bill Kristol: the voices of conservative reason.
I guess Mr. Limbaugh has not figured out that it was his brand of commercial politics, primarily designed to sell advertising, is dead. I am a Republican and have noticed that my party has declined in signficance at the hands of political hacks like Limbaugh. Perhaps if he switched parties he would do as much damage to the Democrats as his kind did to the GOP. Maybe then we can be the Grand Old Party once again.
Wow. This idiot will do anything to try and be in the limelight.
wow, wat a jerk
anyone who wants to see our country fail should be kept an eye on
those kinds of people should be the ones that should be denied flight on airlines rather than people who are from the middle east
if your gonna deny anyone anything, it should be because ideas, not race
Obama is the President of the United States. What does Obama have fear from a Conservative like Rush Limbaugh?
I think it is far more telling that Limbaugh has needed to result to statements like that to get media attention given the marked acceptance the Obama administration has already received in his first week as President? I and many others await many more great things to come from this administration.
Obama is scared of Limbaugh ? Ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah.... cough cough.... ahahahahahahahah!!!!
No man I know is scared of that semi-masculine, drug addled, illiterate fool.
No one could be freightened of a COMEDIAN . What are you still high on your OXICODIAN? Your ratings must have tanked.
Rush, we are all just bored and tired of you. You don't even believe most of what you say anymore. This is just another in a long and tedious string of attempts to get attention and improve your sagging ratings. Love of country doesn't even being to play into your mindset. You want to make sure that you're not deemed irrelevant. What a sad, pitiful, angry, unloved man. Sit there with your bags of cash and scream to yourself some more. Meanwhile, moderate Republicans like me will support our new President and stand by him as he attempts to restore this country to its once-great state.
Who is Rush Limbaugh and what have he done for the people?
It just shows what an ego-maniac Rush is by the fact that he won't let it go. He is doing everything he can to keep this going and raise his profile in the news. What scares him the most isn't Obama's policies, it's the fact that he is a has-been. He's doing anything he can to try and breathe new life into his career. He wants Obama to fail – not because he hates Obama's policies, but because it would mean he was wrong. And to him that is simply not possible.
Is he back on OxyContin?
A: Obama only warned the GOP not to listen to Limbaugh because he doesn't want them to start thinking in insane double standards (like how he preached we should all follow GWB lock-step because he's the president, then says he wants the new president to fail).
B: the only things that should be afraid of Rush Limbaugh are his drug-dealing housekeepers and random sandwiches.
President Obama's big effort to unite and to work with all is refreshing and probably the only way that will move us forward – even if I sometimes strongly disagree with some of the people he invites to the table. But if there is one man in this country that we certainly can do without it's the grossly oversized ego of Rush Limbaugh.
Good Job Rush!..Keep talking, you are doing exactly what the dems want you to do!..and by the way with this economy..pray that you have a job tomorrow!
Rush best watch his back as someone may poke him with a hat pin and let all that hot air out...
I haven't heard Rush Limbaugh's name in 8 years, I thought he died. Where was he when there were no WMD's? Rush is the mouth of a party that can not exist in today's climate. The only way he can is to wish that all of us as Americans fail. Where is his retirement? What is his home value?
Listen up Rush, America is tired of the same old politics and playing the blame game. Get behind the Repulican party and promote America and bring back the party that I left.
Or your small little radio talk show will loose even more ratings and listeners since you only give people the wishes of failing, loss of their entire savings, loss of their homes, loss of their job.
Get a life!
Joe
Limpbaugh is mistaking the fact that no one is paying attention to him for being "frightened" of him. He is a sad and pathetic example of a human.
Rush Limbaugh is delusional. Best just to ignore him and his pronouncements.
I do think that Limbaugh has a problem with his ego... that is... he thinks too highly of himself... he couldn't change the 2008 election and is now grasping at anything he can to stay in what's left of the light he still has.
So, in an attempt to unite the parties to come together for the good of the American people and for once get something done in Congress, Obama says don't listen to Rush in and come together on issues to get resolution to them instead of fight each other tooth and nail which is basically what Rush teaches everyone in his show... republicans good, democrats bad... and yet Rush is the one claiming that OBAMA is going against his Unity claims? How exactly does that work Rush? In the world I live in, Obama is reaching out to everyone.. as a matter of fact the Liberals are more upset with him so far than the Conservatives are!
Mr. Limbaugh proves once again that he is only about ratings, and the money it puts in his pocket. As Americans in these difficult times we are all in this together. Mr. Limbaugh seems to be rowing in the opposite direction from everyone else. I wouldn't expect him to agree with all the new administration is trying to do, but this sort of school-yard taunt is juvenile and counter-productive.
Is this buffoon Limbaugh still abusing OxyContin?
Heaven help us if this is his "clean" personality shining through.
Is this all the Republicans can offer America? This man who should be in prison along with all the people he downed for drug use, and has show that all he is is a druggie himself. Why don't Republicans "put him down", or is he the best they have to pit against the new president?
why yes, people are noramally afraid of psychos.
Rush Limbaugh you should be scared of yourself, you are a monster!
LIMBAUGH IS A JOKE. HE SHOULD GO TO THE RANCH WITH BUSH
OR TO ARIZONIA WITH CHENEY. HE IS A TOTAL JERK WITH NO RESPECT.
What's so appealing about Rush and Ann Coulter. They may say conservative things, but their lives are no model for anyone. How many wives does Rush have? Is Ann even in a relationship? Does being conservative mean living a moral or family oriented life? Obama is clearly a better parent, husband, and neighbor than any of these conservatives.
He's a sad, lonely man who spits out negative ideas to his followers who by the way are just like him. It's a new day and a new generation. No longer is this country led by people who use fear and anger to rule.
So he's making a lot of money...I'd bet he trade all those dollar bills for a loving wife and two beautiful children to go home to, like our President. The best thiing to do is to ignore him. He'd be funny, if he wasn't so pitiful.
... time for everyone to grab the line and pull together. People like Limbaugh should be sent to prison for disturbing a nation's peace.
This "shock jock" named Limbaugh, he precisely the reason why the Republican Party cannot get their act together. As a lifelong member of the Republican Party, I absolutely reject this clown (Limbaugh) as a spokesperson for the Republican Party and it's values that I have held throughout my life. It is apparent, at least to me, that his abuse of narcotics and pain medications has affected his reasoning. I have and will continue to evaluate President Obama's decisions using a fair and objective standard and not the extremist and radical idiocy of Rush Limbaugh who obviosuly thinks so highly of himself and his cleaverness (NOT!)
Rush Limbaugh is a big, fat idiot. Tell him I said "hi", too.
This guy is one sick puppy! He is so full of himself!
Limpbaugh, you've been a loud mouthed slob ever since you started radio. It's a sad thing when some one like you is allowed to use OUR air time to slander our Presidents. Your a disgrace to the human race. Your mean spirited, hateful, arrogant, stupid, and UGLY.... And those are the good things I would say about you. I would tell you to go away but people like you are to stupid to understand what I am saying to you. As for President Obama being afraid of you ... Yah, right. Not in your biggest wet dream would Obama be afraid of the likes of you. Your not even a piss ants shadow compaired to President Obama so why would he be afraid of you... Go somewhere and fall off the earth why dontcha??
Obama does not want anyone to disagree with him!! I don't think Limbaugh has anything to do with if Obama fails or not. Obama is his worst enemy!!
God Bless us all!!!!
Is this guy for real? I mean seriously? He opens his mouth and fills the space with garbage..... can someone pls make this windbag shut up for once?
Is this guy, Rush, even relevant? Does anyone actually listen to his blather? Please, Mr Limbaugh, go hang out with yer buddy, Cheney, and be quiet. Far too contentious, whether you agree with him or not. He's only saying harsh things to keep on the air. Useless windbag...
Whether you like Limbaugh or not, when the administartion refers to him directly it gives him credibility. That's why O'Reilly never mentions Olberman by name; it keeps the other person from gaining any sort of credibility. The Obama administartion would be unwise to continue a spat of words with a radio talk show host.
Rush,
You are a hateful trash!!!!
Rush Is clearly a racist. Get over it Rush..he won and he is YOUR president!
What a pompus clown. Two wars, a financial crisis, global warming, etc. I believe President Obama has more things to be frightned about than you.
Mr Limbaugh. locate your pills, pop a few, and chill.
Derrick, Dallas, Texas
ooo I'm scaaared
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha takes a breath of air hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha takes another breath of air
I can't stop laughing.
Limbaugh should be on Comedy Centeral !
Dude, I'm scared of Limbaugh too, but that's only because I'm afraid of what sort of garbage is waiting to come out of his mouth.
this man is pertinent now because????? really can this drug addict wind bag go away. Rush we aren't afraid of you, we are afraid of your ideas. Look what they did for us the last 8 years. Go away. Can you and Ann Coulter go do whatever disgusting place you came from and stay there. Try Venezuela or Cuba, you fit right in with their media. UGGGG, i mean I have had to have this pest around for way to long. You make Oreilly look smart you windbag.
Afraid? Do this man's ignorance and hubris know no boundaries? Obama merely dismissed him as the worthless purveyor of selfishness and stupidity that he is. Why is this dropout junkie even famous?
Rush does have one thing right though. He probably is more influential than any of the republicans left in Washington.
Limbaugh who?
What an idiot Limbaugh is. He's so addled by drugs he thinks he's important. Just shut up already. Your party is out and a new era of hope is here.
keep eating those pills Rush.
Shut Up Rush – You're a loser and a racist.
Sorry, Rush. He's not afraid of you. He is the "chosen one". The media has his back, no matter what happens.
What's going on, Rush? Are the meds getting the better of you again?
The only scary thing about you rush is that you put false info in peoples heads. This is a dangerous thing rush and you know it. Some fool will believe you. Your lies and hate mongering can lead to nothing good. Oh where was all this outrage when your boy g, bush was having his way with all of us? But i guess that was OK?
Sounds like grade school tactics. "He's scared! Chicken!" Does he honestly believe the president will respond to this?
It always amazes me that people listen to this man. Pure excrement.
Obama does not want anyone to disagree with him!! I don't think Limbaugh has anything to do with if Obama fails or not. Obama is his own worst enemy!! Limbaugh beware of Obama – look what happened to Joe the Plumber!!
God Bless us all!!!!
Why are we rushing into glorifying Rush; a dog barking at the moon
Rush is a loser and a racist. Shut up!!! You're an idiot!!!
Aint nobody scare of you! Your days are numbered because God don't like ugly!
I think someone needs to kindly remind Mr. Limbaugh that there is more at stake here than his publicity. If he would like President Obama to fail, that's fine. He can hope, pray, and cross his fingers; but regardless of who is president of the United States, there is a lot of work that needs to be done to get us back on the right track and everything should be done to ensure that it is done.
Afraid of you? How about ignoring you! How patriotic to wish that the new President fails when the country is in such bad shape. What an idiot!.
When this fat drug addicted loser does something positive for the country, let us know.
Limbaugh is flatulence in a headwind that he may not survive. We saw the effect of his sort of rhetoric during the last administration, and the efficacy of that rhetoric during the last election. Say goodnight, Rush.
What a complete air-headed, arrogant idiot. Are you back on the dope Rush?
Rush you are demon possessed. Everybody knows you are not thinking on an intelligent level. And, please...you are giving yourself way too much credit if you think Obama is afriad of you. An ant would not be afraid of you!!!
Yeah. President Obama is frightened of Rush Limbaugh. And I'm afraid of a mini-marshmallow.
Rush is nothing but a lying drug addicted bully. True conservatives should be ashamed and demand that he stop representing the Republic party with his ignorance!!
This guy is truly scary......he frightens me. This is not what our country needs right now.
Rush spent years(!) blindly supporting Bush...just about everything out of his mouth is either a lie or extremely misconstrued. Obama's "frightened of me." Yeah right, Rush. Your little plan to disrupt the primaries by encouraging Republicans in Texas to vote for Hillary backfired! You know why, but your idiot Ditto-heads probably haven't figured it out. It helped Obama, because his defense skills were strengthened AND just about anything one could remotely connect to Obama was thrown on the table....allowing enough time for it to be questioned....and no one really cared anyway...Obama's NOT: Muslim (as if it matters), a socialist (ooo, like the Japanese, Swiss, and English are scary) and not anti-American. I bet Rush was thrilled with Obama's win–now he doesn't have to defend Bush, and that was the hardest part of Rush's little job. FLUSH RUSH.
speak the truth rush its the other way around did you watch the campaign.
Drug abusers scare me. So do bigots.
It really upsets me to see how someone can use his influence to create so much hatred and division. I love this country way too much that I could ever wish any leader, who looks out for the common good, anything else but success.
The only thing afraid of Limbaugh is a donut.
Now why would the president be afraid of somebody like Rush Limbaugh.Rush Limbaugh has life messed up.And I really don't know why he thinks that he can intimidate everybody.Just like the comment you made last week about you hope that he fails.Through God he hasn't failed yet,all this time he kept on pushing and will continue to push on.See it's people like Rush Limbaugh that can't except that he won the Presidency ,and he didn't steal it from his own like his President Bush stole it from Al Gore.See when you start off wrong you end up wrong ,and when you start off right you end up right.That's why "THE LORD IS BLESSING HIM RIGHT NOW OH RIGHT NOW"And he will continue to bless him.So Rush Limbaugh go and HATERADE ON SOMEBODY ELSE AND LET MY PRES DO HIS JOB.
Fat, pompous, liar drug addict!!!
people like Limbaugh really divide the country with the poison they spew on the air waves and tv. Our country would be better off without them.
No one is scared of Rush.
Wasn't Limbaugh caught abusing prescription drugs?
he's telling people not to listen to Limbaugh cause Limbaugh is divisive and doesnt' actually want anything good to happen out of this or any administration. Limbaugh is out to create a stir and he's getting it. he doesn't care for anything near "good" to happen.
Even Obama can't unite everyone. There are always going to be people so pig headed that they really aren't even capable of thinking anything outside of their self serving garbage. I sincerely doubt the President of the United States is afraid of Rush Limbaugh, a man so obsessed with himself that he can't think of his country first. This is a guy who wants our country to go through four years of hell so he can get somebody he wants in office. Pathetic really. NOBODY should listen to Rush.
Rush Limbaugh is a druggy and the fact that people still listen to him scare me.
What a pitiful little man!
Rush, please just go away!!!!
Thanks Rush!!! Your tirades against President Obama are galvanizing people to the realization that your vitriolic attacks are nothing more than attempts to increase ratings for your radio show. I wrote you off in the aftermath of your Donovan McNabb comments whose nonresponse shows he is by far the superior person. It was great when you attacked Powell for supporting Obama just because he was black; it was so absurd that even some acquaintances who listened to you were beginning to wonder if you were off your rocker. Your latest comments, take your pick, are so ridiculous that even your most ardent listeners are beginning to think that maybe Obama is who we should be listening to not you. Keep up the good work
As I recall, there was a movie where the Blob terrorized a whole city. I am not surprised that a person who is so large, he has not seen his feet in years, would scare people.
Perhaps he doesn't want to waste his time on him.
Any decent, educated, normal person should be afraid of Rush Limbaugh and the hate he spews.
Simply a repulsive human being, no matter what your politics.
Rush is such a headline hungry hack. What a joke, yea... Obama is afraid of you, afraid you'll try to steal his sandwich! You are pitifully clinging to a selfish fearful mindset, good luck with that, were all moving forward.
Rush is a Bamboo. Who does he think he is?
what a stupid guy ,,, more he get attention more jerk he gets
what a morone
This guy makes me physically ill.
Yeah, I am afraid of you too, Limbaugh, as is Colin Powell (since he also said to stop listening to you). The last time the public was this misled, the person's first name was Adolph.
Bush and Limbaugh: A Real Life Dumb and Dumber
Sigh ... such an annoying man. Who cares what you think anymore? You're a dinosaur .. go away.
I think Rush just refilled his prescriptiion for Oxycontin again.
Actually, that shaking is not from fear, but from laughter at your pomposity!
The only individuals who are afraid of Rush the Blowhard are pharmamacy reps not want to give that pill popping blow fish free samples.
It is best but very difficult to ignore a moron like the Comedian Rush. Guess I will have to try harder.
RUSH LIMBAUGH, I'VE ALWAYS THOUGHT YOU WERE A LITTLE JEALOUS OF OBAMA. LET,S SEE, HE IS GOODLOOKING AND YOU ARE NOT. HE IS FIT, YOU DON,T HOLD A CANDLE THERE. HE IS INTELECTUAL AND INTELLIGENT AND YOU ARE NEITHER. BUT THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS THAT HE'S A CARING MAN.YOU COME ACROSS AS A HATEFUL WANNUBE WHO TIME IS RUNNING OUT.
I highly doubt Obama is frightened of Rush Limbaugh. Obama has the secret service to protect him in the worst case scenario and he could probably order Rush killed if he felt Rush was the slightest threat. The pill popper is pretty harmless.
i highly doubt president obama is afraid of this idiot
The form of conservatism that the far right preaches is dying, it simply cannot stand the test of time in such a diverse nation. Intolerant people like Rush Limbaugh will ensure that it does not last.
How long has it been since we've been able to say that??!!
sorry to disappoint you Limbaugh but President Obama is simply disgusted by you – as are many...
LOL Anybody who seriously considers what this delusional drugadict has to say is not metally fit. He is an embarrasment to the educated, serious right who want to move this country forward. Regardless whether you are from the left or the right, wouldn't you want the president's policies to be succesful and get us out of this hole?
Rush sounds like a pathetic, washed-up commentator. The only insight I have of him now is through CNN, and the story line ain't sounding so good. Last Dance anyone?
How in the world does this guy still have a radio talk show? Drugs, alcohol, denouncing the President... the list could go on for days. What an idiot.
Rush is exactly why the Republicans lost across the board.....keep it up Rush, you have done the Democrates a BIG favor.
This is just a pathetic attempt by Limbaugh to get attention.
He is clawing to the side of the slippery cliff of irrelevance from which he is rapidly falling.
What? Limbaugh thinks he is is going to bully the President of the United States into meeting him for a brawl in the schoolyard?
Limbaugh's days in the media are numbered and he is frightened of the end. This attempt to gain attention and Limbaugh's statement that "He hopes Obama fails" is the death rattle of a gas-bag.
Go away, Limbaugh. It's over.
Fade Away... Fade away.... fade away....
It`s people like good ol Boy Rush that will keep this country divded.He is no more than a nerd that got picked on.Now that he has a way to be heard he is just a posion for the people of America.
Another "white trash" Republican!!
Rush is a discrace to humanity. What a big racist pig?
What a calloused, negative, and spiteful American citizen. What a shame. Apparently he's stuck in our country because hell won't have him and Guantanamo Bay is being shut down. Poor USA.
Obama doesn't negotiate with junkies.
the only one who is going to fail, is you. I believe you just lost your fans when you hoped " america " fails!!! Do you even know what a moron you are?
The Obama administration (along with CNN and other major media outlets) shouldn't be giving Rush Limbaugh the pleasure of having attention centered on him, which is really all Limbaugh tries to accomplish anyways. The guy has absolutely no credibility in the political field, and to post this guy on the news every other week only fuels his ego and feeling of self-importance, which leads to him making more ridiculous statements such as "Obama is frightened of me."
Who the heck are you, Rush Limbaugh, a radio host who was forced to quit from ESPN, that Barack Obama, the leader of the most powerful country in the world, has to fear you of all people? Trust me, Rush, you're not that important of a guy. Nice try, though.
What a nut...I think he is losing what little mind he has left – get this guy off the air. I heard him during a Hannity interview and R.L. couldn't string a sentence together. Now if you could find him a job pushing stupid buttons, that would be perfect.
What conceit!!!!
Limbaugh is a traitor to his own country because he is actively dividing the people in a time of crisis. He's one of the most arrogant people I've ever heard and his followers sound like parrots, repeating whatever Rush says as if they have lost the ability to think for themselves. He is clearly hateful and is enjoying spreading his messages of hate. This is his way of feeling powerful.
Get a grip, Limbaugh.. no one.. I mean NO ONE has reason to be afraid of your evil spewing of lies...and that is what it is... just as you said on Larry King years ago, you are NOT about truth you are about entertainment! The only people who take you seriously are the white sheet and cone hat crowd.
"Now this is the great unifier," he told listeners Monday. "This is the man who's going to unify everybody and usher in a new era of bipartisanship and love." Well, I have to say that you, Mr. Limbaugh, are the worse divider in this nation. You have no morals whatsoever! Sad, but true.. you are down right wicked. And you may hope that Obama fails... but I pray that you fail! You are hypocrite and a liar!
What on earth does Obama hope to gain by baiting Limbaugh? It's mystifying that the President, who has been urging bipartisanship, is engaging in such sophomoric behavior. Is he bored or something?
We are all afraid of you Rush, at least we are afraid of what you represent: the worst of our hates and fears given far more attention than is good for the country. As a Republican, I am ashamed.
I really hope that the Republican party takes a long, hard look at itself when the party spokesman is a man who partly lost them the election, dropped out of school, and continues to receive treatment for drug abuse.
What does it say about you when you think the most powerful man in the world is afraid of you? He sure has an over-rated sense of self importance.
Rush Limbaugh is a tired and old recovering drug addict who should be serving time for his drug related crimes. Instead, he's got a platform from which to spew pure unadulterated ignorance. If this is who the Republians get their infromation from, it's no wonder they're so out-of-touch. I guess Rush represents that kinder and gentler group of folks the first President Bush used to talk about. Ha!
I think Mr. Limbaugh is more afraid of his job disappearing than President Obama is of him. As if the President would even consider such nonsense from a no-brainer Limbaugh. Mr. Limbaugh speaks with self-serving hatred in order to create discord which guarantees he'll continue to have a job, as he continues to spew pollution at otherwise good human. Has Mr. Limbaugh considered a cap and trade for this pollution contribution? If not, maybe someone ought to inform him that would be a good way to offset his negative presence, and maybe deflate his "out of this world" ego – wow, talk about inflated! How can any grown adult like Limbaugh look at himself in the morning and not wonder how even he can take himself seriously. I mean really – get real Limbaugh. Maybe considering getting a real job that actually contributes something to the betterment of society instead of your stupidity. Signed – a conservative from Seattle, who uses her intelligence as well as her common sense by "God forbid" listening to self-serving rampages of clearly stupid talk show hosts.
When is this lying scumbag going to be kicked out of america or either in jail where he belongs for drugs.
I love Robert Gibbs!
LIMBAUGH! DON'T WASTE MY TIME. THIS GUY HAS THE INTELLEGENCE OF A 7TH GRADER THAT HAS ATTRACTED THE SMALL MINDED REPUBLICANS.
LOSER!!
Rush Limbaugh should be investigated by the FBI , Homeland Security and NSA since he publicly made a statement "he hopes Obama fails". Is this a patriot speaking who hopes for a better America? Is this someone who wishes the new president and cabinet and elected members of the house well? Is this someone who wishes this country falls flat on its face because we have a Democrat for President, and a majority of those in the house are Democrats?Or, is this cancer of society still spreading hate and bigotry and prejudice. Does this little man really want Obama to fail to justify his positions and statements which pander to the Far Right
extremists in this country? Why wasn't this man prosecuted for illegal use of drugs years ago – the same drugs he condemned people for using? He is a threat to the security of this country and a traitor to this country when he states he hopes Obama fails! The American people have spoken – they are ready for change – and even though many did not vote Democrat, they are patriotic Americans who now hope for a better future and are willing to support Obama and his choices. What is wrong with Limbaugh? Maybe he is a true terrorist to this country.
Limbaugh is a non-issue anymore. No one takes him seriously. He's just a pathetic old man with a pathetic old message of fear and hate. Devil's gonna love it when this one's time is up. A real trophy keeper for hell's hotel.
Now if we could only tow Limbaugh miles out to sea and abandon him. Man, the thought makes my mouth water.
Don't like!!
Stupid old man:
Rush Limbaugh has lost his friggin mind along with the idiots that listen to this pinhead. You actually believe that Barack Obama is afraid of you?
Please!!!! Trust me when I tell you; Barack is cut from a different cloth than most of us and the last thing on his mind is some pot bellied old fart who doesn't know his butt from a hole in the ground.
If you want to come up to President Obama's level, why don't you start by reading Sun Tzu's " Art of War" this might give your puckered old butt some insight into a man who has exhibited that he is clearly superior in intellect to you!
All articles about this bloviating oxycontin-addicted windbag should be preceded with "In a desperate attempt to remain relevant..."
This guy will spew anything to sell his ridiculous show to his group of mis-guided groupies. He only preaches to his own choir, he will never influence anyone of substance.
That fat, pompus, thrice divorced drug addict represents the very worst that America can be. Anyone who listens to him is, simply put, stupid.
Rush Limbaugh is the opitomy of what is WRONG with Government and the Republican party. I AM A REPUBLICAN and I say this. He is a biggoted drug addict and nothing more as far as I am concerned. He takes videos and quotes out of context to try to enrage and scare people who aren't paying enough attention on their own.
Obama told people to stop listening to Rush because of this. Not because Obama is scared of him. We need Bipartisanship and love. What is wrong with those things? This country is full of hate and we are falling down the tubes. People like Rush Limbaugh are why this country is in such bad shape right now.
We punish the poor drug addicts, but not Rush L... He's rich and oh poor baby got hooked on pills... That is not unlike many stories today, yet most go to jail, lose their homes, jobs, everything... But Rush keeps his job, get more rich, and then gets to act like he is great ...
What a hypocritical loser!!!!!!!!!!!
I am a conservative, but I think Rush just likes to hear himself talk sometimes. He makes some good points at times. However, a lot of his remarks are geared toward getting under people's skin. They are specifically pointed at hostile topics so he can get more listeners. We get so riled up that we tune in to listen to him rant in order to counter his comments.
Limburger, your ego is writting checks you can't cash. Anyone that listens to your rehashed remarks needs to have their heads examined-again.
Limbaugh needs to stuff a sock in it. Besides "I hope he fails," here is another quote from his response to Obama:
"Obama was angry that Merrill Lynch used $1.2 million of TARP money to remodel an executive suite. Excuse me, but didn't Merrill have to hire a decorator and contractor? Didn't they have to buy the new furnishings? What's the difference in that and Merrill loaning that money to a decorator, contractor and goods supplier to remodel Warren Buffet's office? Either way, stimulus in the private sector occurs. "
The difference, of course, is that if Merrill Lynch loaned the money out instead of squandering it, the taxpayer would have had a chance of getting the money back. Limbaugh is nowhere near as smart as he thinks he is, but his listeners just slurp up garbage like this.
hahahahaha! Rush is funny.
Who cares what Limbaugh thinks? The guy is a drug-addled hack, a hypocrite of the first degree, and a guy who clearly cares more about his own ego than he does the state of the country. He is not front page news.
Rush is an idiot. Is he still high??
Hey there nutcase Rush. You stop at NOTHING to grab headlines.
You used to be just delusional and spiteful. Now have finally jumped off the deep end.
Time for your meds, Rush.
Limbaugh is an entertainer. Obama is supposed to be leading our country. Yes, I know Obama was using him as a kind of iconic reference to extreme conservatism, but just give us your plans and stop telling people who they should or shouldn't listen to.
Limbaugh...WHAT A RACIST IDIOT!
Limbaugh is arrogant, to think that Obama, who took an oath in front of ALL america would be afraid of him? He is the apithemy of arragonce, the exdrug addict has an opinion like the rest of every human being on earth, but that it. Limbaugh is human and I hope the economy swallows him whole.
Rush Limbaugh knows the image of the fat cigar chomping republican is an image that no longer sells so he will and is doing anything to keep his name in the news. Obviously he is still using drugs.
Poor Rush – his ratings must be falling a bit because no one wants to listen to his negativity and mindless rants anymore – wait a sec ........ does anyone listen to him?
No, Rush, he realizes you as the blatant propagandist you are. You aren't a patriot, you're a fraud. Your constant slander towards the left must be an act of fear, then, noting your reaction here.
Who put this man on the air in the first place?
This guy is back on the drugs! Get a life buddy.
Oh god, Russ is an old fool. Who cares? He is a disgrace as an American.
I am frightened of Obama.
Please, CNN, I am stunned that you would give this bigot air time! This is beyond belief! He should be left to rot on his radio show! I am amazed at you, my favorite news media!
This man should never merit air time on any legitament news media.
Certainly Obama cannot and did not say he will “unify everybody”. For example, people like Rush Limbaugh can only be unified with the devil or with some other narrow minded people. Saddam Hussein would have saved him but it is too late.
He wants America to fail but he does not realize that only in America his types could be tolerated.
This man really needs some help........and prayers
Such complete Arrogance from such a venomous creature! Limbaugh is a complete idiot, who nobody should ever believe a word from him.
Ah, Rush got his feelings hurt. And, as usual, he completely misses the mark. What an ego.
Rush, people can't be unified if they are actively rooting for the President to fail.
Don't flatter yourself. President Obama isn't scared of you one bit. He already took the best you had to offer and was elected President.
When a man accuses another of being scared of himself. It means that the accuser is indeed scared of the man. It is an easy way to put his own shame off of himself. Laughable.
What sane American would be so treasonous to say that they hope their leader FAILS?
Wow. Must be the OxyContin talking.
what a joke!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rush, you are SO FULL of yourself. Please go change your diapers.
Rush is just looking for ratings.
Perhaps Rush's past drug use has got the best of him.
It's a shame.
I highly doubt the president of the most powerful nation is afraid of a washed-up radio show host.
Limbaugh is like a Macy's parade balloon: huge, bloated, designed to entertain, and easily punctured. Of course, there is an important difference, in that the parade balloons have no delusions of grandeur and make us laugh with them, not at them.
It's over, loser. Take your war toys and go home.
It is about time we realize the "best and brightest" are neither. That goes both for Limbaugh and Obama. Two peas in a pod in the end. Both liars, and ego maniacs. And love to hear themselves talk.
This "man" always brings a smile to my face. It is just a joy to know that there is a special place in hell reserved for this troll. Over the course of his miserable career he has proven himself to be nothing more than a snake. He throws out a statement saying that he hopes Obama's policies fail and then when Obama responds he says look what he is saying about me everyone this is the great unifier!!! This "man" is a total waste of space and oxygen that someone that matters in life could be using. What a complete joke!!!!
Rush who?
the problem is everyone should be afraid of rush, the bullcorn that he spits out everyday does the country no good
Just shut up, Rush!!!
Dear Rush (in case you read this – or can read),
You play to your psychotic fringe base every day, knowing full well that you are only doing so for the ratings.
No one is afraid of you. You an immaterial figure head of the far right extremists.
Sorry to tell you this, but the country has moved on. It is time for you to simply be quiet and let President Obama fix the mess that your fans have started.
The only thing afraid of Rush is a jelly doughnut.
Limbaugh has a small, small-minded following. So long as he has no ambition to do more, he will continue to preach his version of "Mr. Smith goes to Washington" and rake in personal wealth over it. He is one of the "haters", we will never be rid of their ilk, somewhat like the flu.
The only thing that President Obama is 'afraid' of with regard to Rush Limbaugh is the tremendous amount of methane emitted by Mr. Limbaugh.
Geez, is Rush nuts or what??? Wanting our new president to fail, and saying that Obama is afraid of him? Man, Rush is going whacko. Let's think positive and rally around the man we elected.
I'd be scared of him too. He might come at me for drug money when he runs out of xanex.
Mr. Limbaugh at least someone is trying to be a great unifier, it is obvious you are not, but then again you and I are Americans expressing our opinions, that's the power of our democracy right?
What an egotistical loud-mouth. I guess Al Franken was right - Rush Limbaugh IS a big fat idiot.
I like some of Mr. Limbaugh's traditional values but he frightens everyone when he wants our President to fail.He should make his case about programs which are bad but leave the hateful attitudes about our Presidents to the reactionaries on the left
Wow – is this guy full of himself or what? I have listened to him often, and evry time I have to wonder.....WHY? he really doesn't have much to say.
Just plain useless, he needs to get rid of that fat over shadowing his neck...what a loser!!!!
Rush Limbaugh is a big fat liar. President Obama knows this just like most other sane people do. Limbaugh not only lies with every breath, he also corrupts with the wicked filth he spews. When will people get a clue and do some thinking for themselves? If ever there was a time for people to use their own brain cells, it is now. Limbaugh is poison to America having a better future.
wow....thats the best he can come up with?? Obama is afraid of him?
RUSH is just afraid of losing his job. Poor baby.
ROTFL!!
Rush Limbaugh is a divider. He should be muzzled. There is nothing to him. His opinions are not worth listening to. Somebody shut him up.
This Rush nut should be charged with treason and jailed all he does is stir hate and evil at a time this country is trying to heal old wounds.I can't believe he is allowed to still be on the air shame on us.
Yes I believe he is afraid of Rush because he is not afraid to speak the truth. That does not say much for people who call themselves christians and are afraid to speak up. You go Rush... another thing why does the media make it like we are racist I have my best friend that is black and I have been a member of an all black church. no its not racial problems he does not speak the truth and lied to the people and I will never believe him.
There's a saying that goes "empty barrels make the most noise". Seems pretty applicable to Mr. Rush here.
Rush is a neocon clown, no one cares what he thinks. I think the last 8 years and the current state of things are more than enough to disprove their asinine policy positions.
Rush Limbaugh is an idiot. I believe it is the other way all around, he is scared of President Obama.
Wow, I needed a laugh. Thank Rush. Keep up your comedic routine that the Republicans consider "important." You haven't been given nearly enough credit for helping the Republican base become out of touch and for helping the Democrats win so many seats this past election. Thank you sir
Rush clearly is looking for more attention and more ratings. The President and anyone with real sense needs to ignore him...as of this moment for me he is no longer worth talking about!
What kind of ignorant moron would wish the country to fail? What a tool! Perhaps Obama isn't afraid, but like the rest of the educated world chooses to ignore stupid comments from a wased up drug addict?
Rush Limbaugh is probably the sleasiest human to crawl from under a rock....It's not his politics or even his everyday beliefs....it's that he is truly and utterly a mean spirited, hateful excuse for a human.... I think God cries everytime Rush opens his mouth with his egotistical venom, especially when he connects it to religion in any way....
Typical Russ. Big headed and inflated ego. If Russ only knew what an idiot and moron he really is. Hey Russ having flashbacks or withdrawals?
Limbaugh is just a crazy egomaniac. Obama isn't scared of him. He just knows how ridiculous he is.
Who would ever listen to or be afraid of a junkie like Limbaugh..
Rush is nothing more than a critic ,he has never built anything ,whats his solution and why did'nt he come up with it with George W Bush the last 8 years.He has only venom to release ,he's a rich fat blow hart who could care less about what's best for everyone. Why people listen to him is beyond me. Go away Rush the people have spoken and O'Bama is their choice. it hasn't worked with the Republican's we need change .A former Republican who's tired of the retoric Ron
You know Rush, Obama should be afraid of you. I'm afraid of you. Lots of people should be afraid of you. As an American, you have the right to speak your mind – twisted as it might be. The truly horrifying thing with you is that there are people in this country who actually listen to what you have to say. That is the real nightmare.
He's a sick puppy!
Most of his listeners are uneducated rural individuals and limbaugh knows it. He preys off their ignorance while cashing his checks.
Americans with limbaugh mentality is what makes a small part of this country "ugly".
He loves to have news like this drawing attention to him.
I personally think he's just upset that obama is going to make him pay more taxes.
It is difficult to believe that anyone would take something Rush says seriously. He is a living cartoon caricature and not even a humourous one at that. If anyone is scared it is Rush and his following. Obama talks hope and Rush seems to preach hopelessness and prey on peoples fears. I have to imagine that what is portrayed by Rush is to further his bottomline. It is hard to imagine someone could be so ignorant and pompous in real life.
As an individual with a Master's Degree in Journalism who had a successful 20 year career in communications (including creating the publications of the Indiana House of Representatives) and then left to get a second masters and teach inner-city special education children, Rush Limbaugh is the person who started all of this trash radio talk. He led the trend for people to be disrespectful–he (and those who followed in his steps) have helped cause the bitter and mean divide between parties. This kind of trash radio (and it is not like his personal life is one of dignity and something for our children to admire) is not needed as all Americans must come together to make a better country. I believe in the two party system but we must be respectful to each other.
Rush Limbaugh is so full of himself....he obviously doesn't want a better future for America or for the world. I believe that with positive thinking and helping our "neighbours" and our friend we can accomplish anything. I think Rush needs to close his mouth and open his ears for once....listen to the winds of change!!
Let me know when Rush is no longer drug-addicted and loses about 100 pounds and then maybe I can stand to listen to or look at him.
Typical Rush. Big headed and inflated ego. If Rush only knew what an idiot and moron he really is. Hey Rush having flashbacks or withdrawals?
Hey ,Rush don't forget Micky D's double cheese burger value meal only $2.99+tax -it could be free for you once you start working there.Trust me all the "REAL RADIO TALK SHOW HOSTS"out there -they are the one who are frightened of you not President Obama, you want to know why ,because you make all of the other radio talk show hosts look bad.Do this country a favour" QUIT YOUR JOB".
Rush is a washed up loud mouth prescription drug abuser. It doesn't matter which democrat is president. This is a man that hopes our new president fails in these hard times but was there to defend Sarah Palins pregnant teen daughter. because she was from the republican family. Normally he'd be blasting democrats for that. Rush doesn't know what bipartisonship is. He's a cancer that needs to be gagged and dropped off in the middle of nowhere.
Rush should really lay of the oxycodone
i cant wait until the day rush radio show is cancelled
The only thing scary about Rush is that people actually believe his drivel.
Limbaugh is all about Limbaugh. His ego rules supreme in his own mind. He claims to be a "loyal American", but his words and actions show that he is more interested in spewing hate and descent than providing constructive views.
The sad thing is, when Rush is gone, there will always be another hate monger ready to take over.
This man is ridiculous - all the way, unfortunately, to the bank. In his case, it is sad we have "freedom of speech".
it is people like limbaugh that will keep this country divided
Dude, everyone's afraid of you. What else is new?
So sad that the only way this individual (the word 'man' does not apply) can get press time is to continue to try and divide his own party and the nation. Let's all just wish him a speedy recovery (he must be sick to keep spewing the same old dribble since 92).
Limbaugh and Palin, SEVERAL BRICKS short–of a full load!
I seriously doubt Obama is frightened of Limbaugh.
We all know the former drug addicted loud-mouth is an buffoon. Every time the man opens his mouth, he proves it. I just hope he keeps talkin' because with comments like, "I hope Obama fails", the man just might turn some Republicans Democratic. Who hopes Obama will fail in this economy? Only an idiot like Limbaugh!
For god's sake, someone give this man another painkiller! He's losing his mind like House(tv show) does when he hasn't taken his 30 Vicodin.
but rush, noone takes you seriously.
Limbaugh is such a nutcase! It's such a shame that people actually listen to his extreme-isms! And he's laughing all the way to the bank...
Of course Barack Obama is scared of Limbaugh, just like he was scared of Hillary Clinton, scared of McCain, scared of Palin, etc.
Unbelievable. He's so full of himself it's ridiculous. President Obama could care less about Limbaugh. He isn't even giving him a first thought. He's busy running the country!
Why must we report Rush Limbaugh's bloviations as news? He's only marginally more relevant than Ann Coulter. I don't need to have any idea what either one of them are hyperventilating about, ever, in order to be well-informed on what's going on in the world. Please, for the love of god: cover some news, already.
What a total jerk. Limbaugh is a pathetic loser. Sorry that I can't offer more analytical commentary at this juncture.
The last true Republican! Let him & Sarah run the party, we'll all be better off.
Rush is a pathetic excuse for a human being. He's the epitome of ignorance in America.
Is this crack head still around?
What AMERICAN wants their President to fail? Wishing failure for the President is wishing failure for our country and citizens. What a disgraceful thing to say.
Oh Good God, I really wish Obama hadn't even paid attention to this racist moron, all he's done is give him more airtime to spout his hatred.
I can't wait for the great Democrat Hillary Clinton's first official visit to Kanada as the new head of state, it's going to be very bizarre with lots of Obama bunnies in attendance I'm sure, and a freight train load or 2 of denial for all the 'supporters'. :rolleyes:
No Rush: Obama is not afraid of you, he is just ignoring you because that is how intelligent people handle the ignorant. Even if you had something substantial to say it wouldn’t make any difference. You’re just a glorified circus barker that will never accomplish any more than radio talk show host until you are very, old and your ratings drop off.
How absolutely stupid and offensive does one need to be before he is finally removed. This talking head should have been removed years ago and still the mouth opens and the blathering goes on...
Do us a favor Fox News – go bankrupt!
File Rush, Palin, and the whole GOP in the same place, the past. This turd has got to go. Rush, your a piece of Anti-American Zionist garbage. Riddens
Nothing more than an egotistical jerk.
I'll put this way, if Obama fails, it will mean that the country will probably be in a desperate state similar to the Great Depression or possibly worse.
If Limbaugh is going to be so petty as to wish for the country to get worse just because he doesn't like the politics of the guy in charge, then maybe he should leave the country. He definately ain't part of the solution.
Thank you CNN, I'm realizing Rush Limbaugh and cockroaches have a lot in common: they're both ugly, will never go away, and it's hard to imagine what purpose they serve.
When egomania triumphs, this is what we get. Tragic.
Sounds like Rush is all jacked up on pain pills again.
Rush is obviouosly dellusional, must be back on the pain med's.
Why anyone would give him a soapbox is beyond comprehension.
in your dreams, rushie...
Not only is President Obama hardly frightened by Limbaugh but everyone should just ignore the latter...he's a total disgrace.
What Mr. Limbaugh said was that he wanted Mr. B Hussein Obama's socialist agenda and policies to fail. No one wants the President to fail, but his job doesn't include turning the USA into a socialist state. It is the nationalization of everything that he opposes and so do I.
Why don't you shut up and take some more pain pills Rush. You are the absolute scum of this country.
what an absolutely disgusting human being.
does he realize he represents everything people hate about the GOP.
EVERYTHING.
What an Idiot! The only people who listen to Rush are morons who can't think for themselves. President Obama is so much above his pathetic stunts.
Why is this guy still on the airwaves ? Better yet why is he not in jail ? Anyone of our kids would have been in jail for the illegal drug abuse and purchases of illegal drugs he used. The power of this guy just amazes me and people still listen to him. It is just amazing !
Oh, Flubber- Blubber,
I'm sure our new President is just cringing at any criticism from a sidelined, irrelevant blabber like you.
A quarter century and eight years of Reaganomics-Hoovereconomics has brought us the 2nd Greater Global Depression. I am sure your suggestions are really essential viewing, hearing, and reading to, well, nobody!
Limbaugh is such a comedian –
Limbaugh is loving the fact that Obama is in office. Now that he gets to be part of the opposition to the major party in power, more people will listen to him and hear what he has to say. Despite his comment that he hopes Obama fails, deep down Limbaugh is absolutely thrilled that Obama is in office right now, because he will have more talking points and a wider audience.
Send Limbaugh to Gitmo!
Sure he is afraid of you, because your "Operation Kaos" was as effective as Bush's "Mission Accomplished". Rush all you are is a radio personality or shock jock like Howard Stern, Opie & Anthony & Bubba the Love Sponge. You will say or do whatever it takes to keep your audience coming back, your job depends on it. Sad thing is there are people out there that actually believe your every words. So in reality President Barak Obama (that's right, I gonna hurt you & your people to have to say that for the next 4 maybe 8 years) was a career boost for you.
You should be on your on your knees every morning thanking this great president!
Just pray for Rush. He obviously think to highly of himself. Mr. Conservative need to read his bible. Particularly: Phillipians 2:7
Who cares what Rush thinks or says, He is a bag of wind
Obama more frightened about Limbaugh than compared to a Senate or House leader? So with that statement is Limbaugh portraying himself as a respectable leader? Taunting someone by saying they're "scared" is as elementary as it gets. I respect your 'freedom of speech' Limbaugh, but I don't have to like you... and I'm sure that is your intention.
I'm quite sure that President Obama is not afraid of Rush Limbaugh and nobody else is either. He is trying to tear people apart while President Obama is trying to unify them. BiG FAT HEAD Rush Limbaugh need to shut his BiG FAT MOUTH. Yes, President Obama is trying to unify the nation but he can't do it whe he has FOOLS like RUSH L:IMBAUGH out there. I will advise him to Go and Get HIM A LIFE and stop trying to scare your radio listeners.
BErnie
Rush, we're not afraid of you. We think you are a delusional nut job.
Rush is an egotisitcal, idiotic windbag. Pay him NO heed.
He isn't afraid of you he just doesn't listen to you.
I wonder why.....
Its so sad for this individual (the word 'man' does not apply) to keep working to get press time by continuing to try to divide his own party and the nation. We all need to wish him a speedy recovery as he must be sick. That's the only explanation I can come up with since he continues to be spew the same dribble since the Clinton days. Time for this 'airbag' to get some new material.
Limbaugh has an inflated ego based on little evidence of the same. He spews nonsense and has never adequately explained his drug problem.
Obama is a joke. Give'em hell Rush!!!
We're ALL afraid of you, Rush. You're a scary, scary man.
Your ignorance frightens him I am sure.
I think Sarah Palin should dump the First Dude and hook up with Rush Windbag. Could you imagine the dinner table conversations those two ignorami could have?!?!?!?!
Limbaugh is a joke. His comments about McNabb revealed a latent racism and now he is like a spoiled brat who didn't get his way because the country is tired of corrupt Republicans. You know that it burns Limbaugh that an African-American is now President. Instead of focusing on trying to tear down Obama, Limbaugh should try to focus on outlining what he thinks the policies should be. Hopefully, the Republican party can rebuild itself and put forward a message that is positive and speaks to more than a narrow minority of Americans. To do so, it needs to adopt improved ethics and set out a clear message around a limited and focused role for government. I think people figured if government is going to spend a ton of money, it may as well be the Democrats spending it as the Republicans.
Mr. Limbaugh is a prominent figure in the "liberal right" of the Republican party. The "liberal right" advocates lies, hate, and immoral methods like torture along with being very arrogant. He along with many members of this group ask how the Presidential election could have brought the Democrats into office. They just need to look at the person in their shoes. They are the reason, in advocating the absurd points of view they shout. We only need to fear him (them) when we do not recognize him for what he is and allow ourselves to be fooled in electing those that agree with him.
M. January 26th, 2009 7:48 pm ET
What kind of ignorant moron would wish the country to fail? What a tool! Perhaps Obama isn't afraid, but like the rest of the educated world chooses to ignore stupid comments from a wased up drug addict?
~~~~~~~~~~~~
That is not what RUSH said M. RUSH said he wishes obama's policy's fail not the country stop twisting things around. You go rush!
Limbaugh needs to shut his mouth! The dems won the election and he is sore loser. I invested my vote in Obama and have full confidence in his ability to move in the right direction to pull this country out of the mess Bush (or was it Chaney?) left us in.
Just keep your big mouth closed and watch. I do not believe for one nanosecond that Obama is afraid of you .... or anybody else for that matter.
RUSH LIMBAUGH IS A BIG FAT IDIOT
This lying druggie has done nothing productive his whole life except lose one job after another, until finally he stumbled into a job that fits him well – - – which is being a nasty trash talking idiot.
Who? Obama is frightened of pig-headed?
This jerk really needs to crawl into a hole and die. Seriously, why would some egotistical idiot like him even have any listeners??? He wants the country to fail if he would like to see President Obama fail...oh wait, we've already had the past eight years fail...why not more??? ha. what a joke this man is. GO OBAMA!!!!!
Rush tells the truth many times. Some people just don't want to hear it.
The only thing Limbaugh should be concerned with is stopping Mayor Bloomberg and the MTA from increasing fares !!!
His day is over, go back on oxycontin and relax. A new day has come, thank God.
Unfortunately, as long as Limbaugh is on the radio, the more racist the GOP looks. If it wasn't for people like Limbaugh, I and many of my friends would be Republicans. My conscious would not let me support the party because of him and bigotry. I have heard him say a few things that make sense, but majority of his comments are so ridiculous that I can not believe people listen to him.
If something happens to Obama, he will definitely be part of the blame. Then what would he say. "He deserved it". His hate is filtering through our society, and people who can not distinguish entertainment from the truth really get caught up on rhetoric. It is really sad. This country is going under and we still can not unite. God Bless America!
M. He didn't say he wanted the country to fail. He said that he wanted Obama to fail,if his policies are going to be socialist. May I ask if you wanted Bush to succeed, and if so, what you contributed to that proposed success?
Mr. Limbaugh...I'M afraid of you. I'm afraid of all the people who think like you.
Back on the Pills, Limbaugh?
I'm pretty sure President Obama can take you mentally or physically.... But whatever you need to tell yourself to feel better at night...
Maybe you should take some of your own advice and see the world through the administration's eyes... oh wait, you put party before country...that's right.
You are an IDIOT... how low do you plan on going about Obama??? Are you that JEALOUS of him??? Oh, maybe he didn't have a drug problem like you... little man you are.
I really hope with all the things that President Obama has on his plate that giving a (Bleep) about what a an egotistical right wing talk show host has to say should be the farthest thing from his mind. In fact I really think that Limbaugh may be afriad that the GOP might start listening to the things President Obama and Gen Powell have said about him and take their advice. I used to think that Democrats were wimps and the biggest whiners, but since Nov 4th the far right has been the biggest sore losers and whiners I have ever seen. And their leader Limbaugh is the worst of the bunch.
The President afraid of a talk-show host? Now that IS funny...
Rush Limbaugh needs to go and sit down somewhere. He ainlt nobody important. If he had issue with the dnc and the current president, he should have ran for the president job. I guess he was to scared to,. You think ......He would have lost the race by a long shot. He should be scare of Pres Obama. He Limbaugh should be scare of me and the other american who does not support his point of view.
Limbaugh has permanently scrambled his brains if he can entertain such a crazy thought. LOL!!!
President Obama is certainly not afraid of this cheap trick, Rush Limbaugh, What a completely stupid statement for Limbaugh to make.
Limbaugh is a mere footnote to history compared to President Obama. Most people have never even heard of Rush 'Bag Of Wind of the Air Waves' Limbaugh.
Rush Bimbo, You are nobody...
Give it up Rush!!! The President is not afraid of you, he just doesn't want to stoop to your level. You are a racist pig, who should have the plug pulled on your talk show. Get over it!!!
The only thing frightening about Limbaugh is the depth of his hatred for the American way of life. His radical reactionary rantings and ravings define modern Republicanism.
Shut up Rush Limbuagh – seems to me you had a problem with prescription drugs? Why should anyone respect you – you have zero credibility with a LOT of people. I doubt very seriously that ANYONE is afraid of you let alone Obama. By the way, have your ratings dropped? Are you THIS desperate to be the center of attention?
Oh, that's just the drugs talking. Rush is probably a good man when he's not all strung out like that.
Limbaugh is sucking the oxygen out of our country. My new question for men like him is: " What is your alternative?" I never, ever get an answer to that
This man is crossing the line. He needs to be taken off the air before he hypes hisself up to actually come out and threaten the president. It bad enough that he disrespects him publicly now to say that our United States President is afraid of him. What does that say to the rest of the world? Any one can threaten our president. Rush has crossed the line.
Keep up the good work, Rush!
Rush Limbaugh is an incresasingly irrelevant historical artifact left over from the era of Republican domination. After eight glorious years in the ascendency his wing of the party managed to run the country into the ditch while at the same time effectively banishing themselves to the political wilderness for what could be a generation or more.
Time to pack it in Rush – nobody that matters is listening anymore.
Why should a person like President Obama who is trying to set high moral standards be afraid of a mean person and ex drug addict like Rush Limbaugh? Rush Limbaugh is really joking or under the influence of drugs when he made this statement.
Limbaugh, the only reason I and multitudes of people believe why you hate Obama, is because your ENVY his successful bid for the presidency. While he tries to build what your bigotry with the Republican President who ruined this country did, you have nothing to add that is constructive so you can only try to destroy Obama. You are definitely not American. SHAME ON YOU!
Rush Limbaugh is a boob. That's a descriptive term for one who is really irrelevant but needs to flap is jaw. People need only listen to his show for 5 minutes to hear that his agenda is unrealistic and worse, code for racism and fear-mongering.
You, time is up to be scared of you, literally, I am scared of loosing my job as well as Obama not a millionaire Limbaugh!
Too funny!!!!You are a bloated, drug addicted, pathetic excuse for a human being! Get over yourself! It was a good laugh though!
Learn how to spell-moron!
He's an ejit.
Oh Rush, if only you weren't so self serving and actually did something to help steer the country in a proper direction. Anybody can comment on how bad someone's politics or ideas are, but it takes a real leader to actually step up and work for the people. If Rush were to run for a government position I'm sure his attempt would be met with laughter and perhaps some applause from the extremely conservative, but in the end he would fail because his only goal is to serve himself and his pocketbook. Get a real job Rush. Those who can do, those who can't just comment about how bad everybody else does it.
I thought Rush was off drugs.
Obama can not lie to all those who see through his smoke screen. Rush is right, Obama is set to fail because when you put the foxes incharge of the hen house, the hens get eaten. Look whos incharge of the treasury, a crook who doesnt pay his taxes. That gives Obama an open checkbook to your tax dollars. Also look who is doing our foriegn affairs, A clinton who has more foreign money contacts that are all questionable.
Rush is right, Obama should worry about the more truths we find and I hope Rush brings all the lies of the demoncrates to the fore front for all to see.
I guess it's easier to criticize and try to stir up controversy than it is to try and be part of the solution. Looks like Rush is looking out for numero uno. No big suprise.
its time for this country to start supporting and/or challenging our political leaders though democratic processes and to stop listening to uneducated people who make a living off of ignorance and hate. I commend President Obama for working with republicans though these difficult and critical times.
Limbaugh just doesn't get it.
The time for miserable, nasty right wing ideologues is past.
People are sick of his ugly divisive message.
The only ones afraid are the Republicans watching their party implode.
Obama is leaving Limbaugh in his dust!
Rush Limbaught should help come up with great and useful ideas that can help america grow again instead of bring the country down. America has had enough of the bad mouthing and the constant bashing if he's so smart and know it all it's time he did some thing positive for america instead of making the rest of the world think America is a basket full of rotten apples. Also, I use to think the republican stand for something but now all it stands for is being un-american and un-patriotic, filled with hate and resentment. As long as Limbaugh keeps bashing America with his fowl and vile words of wisdom he is flusing the republican party down the drain.
Joey
Only an unpatriotic person would want the President to fail. 'nuff said.
Why be afraid of a drug-addled pathetic little loser of a neo-con ?
Rush needs to go back into rehab where he belongs.
I am a conservative republican , i do not agree with everything Obama says , but wishing him to fail is plain stupid and a disgrace to every american , shame on you man
Talk about sour grapes, when will people wise up and stop listening to this deranged individual. All republications should denounce this diot for his hate spewing comments. Enough already there are more important things on Americas agenda. Lets move on. PuckU Rush!!!!!!
What is it that people see in this idiot?
Obama isn't scared of Limbaugh. He's just tired of the same old failed conservative horse-hockey that gasbag continues to spew.
Yes, Obama is completely frightened of this pill headed loser that caters to the fringe loons on the right. Yawn.
Step away from the drug, Rush. You just might end up in prison this time, where you should have gone the first time. (Pathetic)
What a racist, drug adict & indeed a big fat idiot, why doesn't he immegrate to some where else to live with some people who might be interested in his ignorance, stone age racist
What kind of a man is Rush, just another idiot who has no sense of country first but selffishness.
Obama doesn't afraid of you, no one does.
Infact, Obama has more important things to do than to be wasting time thinking about you.
You are not that important..sorry!
i saw the interview and Limbaugh said he hoped Obama would fail at implementing some of the socialist policies he has in mind for the US. Limbaugh indicated he hoped Obama was successful at fixing the economy. What this comes down to is Obama can't stand to be challenged as was demonstrated last week when a reporter from Politico asked Obama a question. Obama's skin is too thin.
PAY ATTENTION TO ME PAY ATTENTION TO ME!!! My party got kicked out of power and my rhetoric is old and stale and nobody is buying my message anymore... WAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH
some one thinks afully high of themselves dont they?
I agree... Rush why don't just go away you waged up hater...
Obama isn't afraid ... he's angry. Obama will not tolerate ANY dissenting voices. Rush, Hannity, and those seeking to criticize his holiness be warned:
Obama will not be mocked!
Why should he be frightened of you? He beat the candidate from your party like a drum. Your "Operation Chaos" failed to help Clinton. You enthusiastically supported Palin, who could not even handle softball questions from Katie Couric. Blagojevich caused Obama more problems than you, and Blagojevich is not even a Republican.
Limbaugh obviously is again taking some of the illegal prescriptions that he was caught here in Florida with. Rush is living proof that you can educate ignorance, and unfortunately give it an avenue to be vocal. Once in a while I will turn his radio show on, just to remind myself that my 4 year old has more common sense.
Rush Limbaugh is a huge idiot. Anybody who listens to this guy needs to get a life.
rush needs to rush to another country eat his pills and shut up
I was thinking the same thing.. go take another pill!
Rush Limbaugh likes to hear himself talk. He is a loser, pill popping big fat idiot who has no sense of what he would even like to see happen in a successful administration. I think he should head out on a hunting trip with Dick Cheney. Like Obama would even have the time to waste on a sack of nonsense like Limbaugh. Nobody's afraid of you, your an idiot, but you are not intimidating by any means. Big dummy!
Like the old saying goes, "If you wrestle with a pig, you both end up dirty". Obama should just ignore this attention-seeking swine.
RUSH LIMBAUGH: THE FOURTH BRANCH OF THE U.S. GOVERNMENT. Way to go, Rush! Keep 'em on the run! You are feared by everyone who hates America.
Rush , thanks for calling a spade a spade. This isn't about racism this is about American freedom. BHO is leading the ignorant to the poison and all need to be aware
Rush your head is going to explode. Just why do think your party lost the great job they did.
Rush is a drug infested disease that should be thrown in in hell. Whoever listens to this man is just as idiotic as he is. Of course, he has free speech but to say that Obama is friented of him is stupid. The man has a country to run and does not have time to deal with a kid with major issues. Grow up Rush and get off those drugs. I believe you are still using.
Limbaugh is about as credible as Billy May, the shouting snake oil salesman on TV. I don't think Obama is lying awake at night worrying about him.
I think we should all pay special attention to drug or allegedly x drug addicts, particularly those whose cigar seems a bit more than just a cigar. But what can you expect on planet dumb and stupid! Don't believe it? Why don't you ask that doctor whose three daughters were killed.
I wonder if it ever occured to him that President Obama has more on his mind than to be afraid of Rush!!
Stupidity runs amok
Rush is so immaterial, I don't know why anyone would take him seriously. President Obama ignore the fool and his ignoramanus followers like Sean Hannity and his other porky friends.
Rush Limbaugh is a traitor to this nation. Wanting our President to fail means more struggles for our country and more hardships for our fellow citizens. To be so ignorant and spiteful as to wish failure for our President just because you disagree with his approach to governance and his stand on policy issues is shameful!
I think Limbaugh is mixing up being afraid with thinking how stupid someone is.
He didn't say he wanted the country to fail, you idiot ! He said he wants Hussein to fail if he is going to drive socialism in the USA which will result in taking away your right to be an idiot !
LOL!
Rush is quite the promoter, apparently that cyst has healed enough for him to try to be a pain in someone else's butt.
Some people will do anything for attention and ratings. Don't forget, he also got FIRED from ESPN for making racial remark about an NFL Quarterback.
I am so very sick and tired of pill popping Rush!! To say that he hopes Obama fails means that he wants AMERICANS and AMERICA to fail. He should move to another country since he is so disgusted with this one. Is it at all possible tha Rush belongs to the KKK??? If he is, at least we see his face and know who he is.
President Obama is an American president that 61% of WHITE America voted for. Rush should be angry at his race than of Blacks. The President is concerned for all of us – all Americans. And he will do his best to improve our reputation with the world and inprove US. Except for you, Rush.
Maybe because Mr. Limbaugh does not express himself in a constructive way. He is against everything but offers no positive ideas. He is often crude. Whatever you think of the President he expresses himself in an intelligent thoughtful way.
He's such an idiot,Rush Limbaugh get off of the drugs,Mr. know it all the news media needs to ignore you when you talk crap.
Rush- nobody can unify with you and your listeners because you care more that your own belief system be validated by the potential failure of Obama's leadership than about the well-being of the country. That's kind of selfish, not to mention unwise and egotistical, don't you think? You have already made up your mind and you've stated it loud and clear (well, probably more loudly than anything) for all of us to hear, and there is no point in reasoning with a bully. It's so obvious that your biggest fear is to be proven wrong in your conservative/republican convictions. Why do you feel so threatened Rush? Is it because you're afraid that, if Obama does succeed, you may be judged as harshly as you judge other people? Maybe you should just shut your fat mouth.
I don't think any one can FAIL beyond Bush and Rush...
Who listens to this guy? I dont know why CNN is giving importance to this guy..
can you imagine the stink he would have made if Obama or his wife had said something like this about bush? Limbaugh is so ridiculous.
He didn't wish the country would fail.
You should listen or read before you react.
I'd like to know where they dem's came up with the idea that Rush's comment had anything to do with wanting the country to fail??
Everyone had their own comment about President Bush why can't they have the same opportunity with President Obama??
Answer that one Dems!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Limbaugh is a talk-show Nazi who is rapidly becoming totally irrelevant, and HE is the one who has failed and should be frightened because the good people of this nation, Republican, Democrat, and Independent alike, are tired of hearing his ranting garbage. The likes of Limbaugh and his female Nazi partner Coulter have done more to discredit the once-proud Republican party of this country.
I highly doubt that President Obama is afraid of a big fat stupid idiot. I'm not afraid of him either, but what I am, is angry. Who are these people who actually listen to this man without getting nauseated? Sadly there is no shortage of hate, intolerance and sheer stupidity in this country. White trash America seems to unite behind this loud mouthed moron. The country would be better off if Rush Limbaugh went to sleep tonight and never woke up.
Rush, I think it's the other way around. I don't blame the President for ignoring someone like you. You're a perfert example of what drugs does to one's mind.
iam sure obama fears no man , including you limpbraugh i remember when you was losing your hearing and was crying and sobbing on the radio worser than a the little man that you are. and they came up w/ that new operation and restored your hearing and every sense you have been and have resorted now more than ever to your evil satanic ways. iam hear to tell you just keep livi'n persons of your ilk will reap what you sow. obama will resist the devil "and he will flee".
Not many comments, I wonder why! LOL. Really, what would you say?
Rush Limbaugh is a disgusting creature.
Limbaugh says he wants him to fail, and then when Obama says something about it Limbaugh accuses him of sowing division? Seems like a double standard, Rush.
Limbaugh is so irrelevant. Why would anyone waste their time even listening to his dribble.
After hearing so much about Rush Limbaugh for several years, I recently started to tune into his radio show. I think I like this guy. He has a lot of guts, As for Obama, I voted for him,. I regret it already.
Jake,
Woodsville, New Hampshire
Don't flatter yourself; you stupid junkie. PRESIDENT OBAMA is no more afraid of you than he would be of a piece of gum on his shoe!
Oh by the way Rush, if the country fails, so do you. Maybe your brain didn't think of that, because your mouth was talking stupid. Try thinking before you speak.
Wow! This from a former drug addict who put his illegal immigrant housekeeper up to buying his drugs for him.
America - land of the free, home of the brave.
My gosh, this has to be some kind of first ... I didn't know that pigs could have delusions of grandeur.
What exactly has Obama said or done to make Rush think he's got him running scared
Dear M 7:48
Educated like you who can't spell ????? Spare the excuses this administration will have enough.
Limbaugh is nothing but a ignorant hate-monger. Why should Obama be afraid of him? What is there to fear? There is more to pity.
I think Limbaugh is high.
The man is only trying to make a living, but my guess is that if the new President could spare the time, he would meet, confront and master an interview...and what a 'rush' that might be!
Most people are...
Rush doesn't want the country to fail, M. He wants Obama's socialist policies to fail. Why don't you listen to the guy instead of reading the liberal media, moron.
What a joke. I can't believe this guy is still allowed out of his house to talk on the radio. Only in America...
This man must be back on the pills... Obama warns against this hate monger but then wants to complain that Obama isn't standing up for what he says? Why wouldn't Obama warn of the hate spewing instigator causing more rift between parties at a time when we as a country can not afford more of this stupid, my team vs. your team infighting any longer.. yeah Rush.. he's sooooo afraid of you.
Obama understands that in order for people to unify they have to quit listening to dividers. Rush doesn't understand it's less about fear and more about avoiding being pulled under by persistant negativity. He's like a cat basking in suhine... he probably cast his vote for Obama just so he could have a thicker pot to stir and hope to net more listeners with his vitriol.
Limbaugh your kidding right? You truly are a fool.
Its quite clear that drug addiction clouds the mind and may cause actual physical damage to the brain. This of course would account for the inhuman comment of wishing failure on anyone especially the President of the U.S.
HHHMMM he didn't say he wanted the country to fail, if you listen to the entire post, not the Michael Moore/ Hamas edition, which you undoubtedly did. What he said was that he did not wish for Obama to turn the country into a socialist wasteland, which is what he feels is the direction that Obama is moving. People complained about the executive branch under Bush being too powerful, but Obama has signed in more executive orders in his first week of being president than I can remember Bush ever doing. I guess that if supplying American money to provide abortions overseas is a good economical strategy, Obama is a genius, or maybe he is just trying to make the US numero uno in the Ms. Popularity contest again, which for some reason matters to some of you libs.
How come you did not report on Limbaugh's bipartisan economic plan he proposed today and his offer to discuss it with the Obama administration? That seems more newsworthy than the glib comments Rush Limbaugh or Robert Gibbs said.
I wish Limbaugh would go and spread his hatred elsewhere, most Americans are sick and tired of listening to this windbag. Obama is a unifier, and it is quite obvious that Limbaugh just can't stand it! I actually feel kind of sorry for Limbaugh as anyone who would spread such hatred and lies must really have a bad self image, probably why he got into drugs in the first place. Deal with it Limbaugh...Obama is here to stay. Try cleaning up your act, it has become not only old, but very boring. I, also, think that all Americans should be very very frightened of you and the garbage that comes out of your that mouth of yours.
This guy is so full of himself that it's just hilarious! To think that Obama wakes up in the morning and goes to bed at night worried about Limbaugh as opposed to a few of the other little issues that we're facing is pathetic.
George Poole,
before you criticize Clinton or Obama maybe you should learn to spell "Kanada".
Narcissism at it's finest. I seriously doubt that the President has one second to even think about Limbaugh. Right or left, extremists are only that – extreme.
Who cares what Rush Limbaugh says? I don't mean that to be trite. In all seriousness, CNN, there are tons of shock jocks out there – aside from wanting to titillate, what possible justification could there be for including this non-story as a national news headline!?
What a great oke! Limbaugh is one of the great radio comedians of all time, so who would be scared of him? Really, that is the punch line of the latest Limbaugh joke. Anyone who actually takes him seriously doesn't understand satire. He is simply a walking, talking parody of the usual political idiots. nothing he has said in the last 20 years means anything. He's just an entertainer, making a lot of money. Period.
I'm so glad Mullah Limbaugh is doing his usual best to be a constructive force in our society...
Why on earth is anyone listening to, and printing anything from this frustrated windbag?
Please, please, please, stop publishing his stupid statements.
Why doesn't Limbaugh tell his listeners the truth,that he is not for Medicare or S.S. Why help the poor,only the rich are important to him. He just like to get people mad. He is all hot air. He should be afraid of President Obama ,because Limbaugh might be out of a job when his people see what we see. It's all an act to make money. This drug addict is telling us to be afraid of one of the smartest people alive. I guess he might be too smart for Limbaugh. Limbaugh your days are numbered, if the drugs don't get you first.
Limbaugh washed up? He has 30 million listeners. If that is what some call being washed up, show me how to do it. Go Rush!! You are awesome.
I don't understand why anyone listens to any of these extremist talk show hosts, Conservative or Liberal. That they persist in leading the easily provoked into an unnecessary and senseless culture war is ridiculous.
That said, Rush Limbaugh is of no particular merit – he is a relic, and is swiping out now more than ever because he can sense his relevence fading. There is no venom in his bite.
Oh pleeeze!!!!! Who does this creature think he's kidding?? Who, in thir right mind, takes Limpbag- – excuse me Limbaugh – seriously?? Yeah, I guess over at Faux News they do but the rest of America is laughing in his face. The only person afraid of anything is Limbaugh being afraid of becoming irrelevant to everyone but himself.
i think i liked limbaugh better when he was on the drugs..
Tons of Republicans don't listen to Limbaugh already. Many of them don't agree with his idiotic stances. It's only the hardcore shotgun pumping drunk-laden Republicans that still listen to him. Plus, there's music on the radio to listen to. Who wants to be depressed during their day because of that douche bag?
Nobody should be frightened by a "stupid"!
this is so sad and pathetic. rushykins is so desperately trying to be relevant and get in the news these days.
you become more and more insignificant with every day, you neoCONs are over and most likely wont ever regain your "power". you had your 8 years, now it's time to let the humans run the country!
Oh, please! Check the ego at the door. The only thing to fear is the number of low IQ morons who think this mean-spirited, sit-down comic is concerned about what is best for America instead of what is best for his own pill-popping, wife divorcing-bottom line. Just another gift from Florida that keeps on giving...like a social disease.
I think Limbaugh is back on the opiates. Who's afraind of that gasbag?
What a bafoon this drug addict is. Who does this Dufus think he is that our president is scared of him. What an empty suit. What an empty talking head. Even my 22Ib cat would not give this dysfunctional reptile any attention. This guy should be with Sarah Palin and Joe the Fake plumber socializing with Putin, from Palin's porch driniking Vodka.
Limbaugh is a bag of wind. The only thing that scares me is that so many of our otherwise intelligent citizens actually listen to him and take him seriously. That's *very* scary!
What about all the non-patriotic accusations during the Bush administration. How can the GOP let him get away with this!
This RePiglican is no doubt on drugs again!
Rush Limbaugh is an arrogant, conceited, self-centered jerk. Does he really think President Obama worries about Mr. Limbaugh's opinion of him? I think the President has more to be concerned with right now than whether or not Mr. Limbaugh wants him to fail. As Mr. Obama said on election night, "I will be your president, too." That includes you, Mr. Limbaugh. Get a grip.
Oh, yeah–Obama is scared of a viagara- and oxy contin-popping gas bag who frequents the sex trade in the Dominican. Yeah right. The drugs are REALLY ripping this guy's brain apart.
Mr Limbaugh...
In your latest ratings ploy you have obviously overstepped the boundry between reality and fantasy. Please just go back to what you like to do best, take your meds and enjoy the luxuries of the south florida lifestyle....
And to think I used to like this guy. Rush needs to grow up and come out of the studio – he's been sitting in the dark too long and is more detached than Siamese twins after surgery.
Why doesn't RL run for president so that he can make the USA the country of his dream. Yes, what a noron would pray for his country's failure. I know he is a drug addict and I am sure he talks under the influence. RL, why don't you check yourself in at Dr Phill's clinic for some help? Americans do not need help from a crack head moron like you.Go clean up.
that line is out of context, he wishes for his Ideological ideas to fail like health care, this large stimulus bill, and other things which he mentioned. He was on Hannedy a few days ago to explain the entire thing.
what the reporters should put up is 'I want Obama('s policies) to fail'
just to clarify what this small article doesn't
Why does Rush hate America so much that he wants our president to fail? What kind of response did he expect from such a stupid and divisive comment?
Rush Limbaugh is absolutely irrelevant. He's a megalomaniac too full of himself and his own opinions.
Rush is a great self promoting showman. He is not , nor has he ever been a news analyst.He has made talk radio into a great gig, but come on, his day as a serious force in the conservative movement is done. Why do he and Anne Coulter get to spew their outrageous venom in the main stream media? Barack obama is a communist, come on. These and other way out views that he spews on his website are amusing, but he is no newsperson, analyst or journalist. He is a propagandist with a sense of humor.It is great that he is able to make a good living, but let us remember his agenda- it is not to educate or cause debate-it is to stay in the public view and make the big cash. The founders would be proud of his business savvy,(I think he would make Ben Franklin laugh), but they would be surprised at his civic ignorance.Tom Paine was dangerous- Rush is a showman screaming at the sky. We are to smart as a nation to fall for his carnival tricks.
OH MY GOD! This man needs to be in a mental asylum. Does he really think anyone in the world is scared of him? Does he really think anyone in this world would take him seriously? My dog is more intelligent than him.
I am sure he, like his friend Palin, is uneducated and stupid
I've been listening to this guy and those like him for years (10) and he seems to want a chaos and blind devotion. He has convinced his zombie like worshipper that he is just one of them, a $40,000,0000/yr pore man, who's on their side and feels their pain by blatantly flaunting successes and privilege. An most of his worshippers and many of them at admit they worship at his alter literal words. He thinks he's a god because by mere suggestion he can persuade is minions to just about any end. He despises Obama for two main reasons. One Obama is considered African American by bigoted purity standards( the only pure race is all white any think else is not white) and Rush feels African Americans are inferior and anything they have or have accomplished is charity. See his ESPN talking points. Two, he feels Obama may have woken up some of his genuflectors. As he looks down on them from as he and his devotees’ put it, Mount Rushmore, he sees that the crowd may have lost some of the fringe, ie the ones who still think for themselves. He now fears that he will be left with only salty, ignorant beasts that mainstream society ignores. This is why he calls Obama the False Messiah. The worst thing that can happen to a false god is to be forgotten.
Ask why I still listen, Keep your friends close and your enemies closer. Also find who sponsors this person and boycott.
Rush stop drinking your own Kool-Aid!
Are you now doing psychotropic drugs now that Doc won't give you any Oxy's. You must be if you think Obama is scared of your quickly loosing significance mouth. Take your useless mouth on vacation!!
Oh, wait how can you spit on the GOP anymore by showing what a divider your type can be. It's people like you that need to go so the GOP can become something again. YOU are the new Republican kiss of death. You say it and the polar opposite happens.
I believe the "Radio Host" should find himself without a program to 'host' in the country. It is this type of behavior that makes us a laughing stock on the world stage. I will not be reading another article (or listening) with the name Rush in it. *ignore*
Why do we give any importance to what this guy says. He should be ignored and will then fade into oblivion.
David M January 26th, 2009 7:53 pm ET
I'll put this way, if Obama fails, it will mean that the country will probably be in a desperate state similar to the Great Depression or possibly worse.
____________________________________________________
And I thought that it was the republican party that was accused of using fear and intimidation tactics! Wow, thats fresh, instead of terrorist attacks, now its "If we don't do as Obama says, we are going to die!" how is this different?
Rush said he hopes that Obama fail because Obama's policies are Socialist in nature. Throwing money at a problem does not solve the problem (Look at the public school systems as an example). This didn't work in the depression and will not work here. Politicians feel a need to do something during a crisis and nothing makes them feel better than throwing tax payer money at the problem.
You see, the country is filled with zombies who listen to these dumpster- mouthed schills (like Limbaugh, Hannity, and Man Coulter) and automatically process the filth as the truth rather than correctly filtering it out. So yes Obama, in a last ditch effort to encourage independent thought said what he said. In reality, I doubt Obama is losing any sleep over what the bloated gasbag has to say.
Limbaugh has enough money that he's not affected by our poor economic climate. It's no skin off his nose if the country gets worse–all he cares about is continuing to profit off the ignorance and hatred of America's extreme right-wing.
Thank goodness his type is a dying breed. Dittoheads are poor excuses for American citizens.
Limbaugh Hannity, Beck, and Coulter only affect their sheep.
They have zero effect on anyone else.
Rush did not say he wanted Obama to fail. He said that the policies would fail and that tax cuts is a better solution to a quick recovery than the bailout of failing companies. Give companies a chance to grow jobs.
Limbaugh is not only speaking irrationally, he's also out lived his usefulness in the media.
This shows just how much all of you saw the interview, he did say that, but not in the context that is shown here. You need to be well informed, before casting stones. Go find Hannity's interview and you can see for yourself. Now who"s showing the hatered here I ask??
we all are scared of a fat drug addict who is nutty as a fruit cake. as long as this nut is around to PR the republican party, well look at what happened.
Delusions of grandeur, just like his idol George W.
Suggest Rush, all of the crew at Fox News, along with the 22 percent that thought former President "W" Bush was doing a good job, move to the Cayman islands where all their republican supporting corporations hide all their income to be sure it can't be taxed. America would miss all of you for about one second.
What a waste of time this man is, can't believe there is enough of an audience to support him! Shame!
Limbaugh is a smart man who knows how to keep himself in business. Be smart yourself and don't take his headline comments seriously. Deal with him the way you would a little toddler engaging in negative behaviors just to illicit a response. Pat him on the head and feel sorry for him.
If Limbaugh were saying anything hopeful and therefore patriotic about our president then he'd be out of a job.
This vermin should be off the air. It's hard to believe any network would pay a slug like Rush to spew his hate-inspired filth across the airways. Too bad there apparently aren't any criminal charges that could be brought against this anti-American devil.
Rush Limbaugh gives himself too much credit. He actually thinks he is important in the scheme of things. What a joke. I think I just busted my gut laughing over this moron.
Thanks CNN for the great coverage of events in the country. Right now, the new government needs our help to shape things for the better. And definitely, Rush Limb is not part of the process. This guy has been a disgrace from day one and he still is. I vividly remembered during the campaign – how he wooed republicans to vote against Obama for Hilary. He has done everything to bring Obama down, but the Almighty God is watching. So the likes of Limb does not fit in our society.
Rush is like Ann Coulter – an entertainer first and a political commentator second. His only goal is to get people to pay attention to him. CNN is basically providing him a free commercial by "reporting" what he has to say.
It's the "ditto-heads" who follow Rush who are actually scary. They've failed to realize what his game really is.
I don't believe that President Obama is afraid of anybody! Especially not of someone who spews hatred and tries to stir up controversy when there is none (like Mr. Limbaugh).
I feel sorry for him as he uses the vehicle of his radio show to create hard feelings among people when done really exist.
I pray that God sends some love and understanding to Mr. Limbaugh so that he can have a complete turn-around in his heart and not be
racist or a hate-monger any longer.
There is enough hate among the terrorists that we don't need it to fester in this country when the intent is not there to begin with!!
God said: "Just not let ye be judged." May this radio show start to
feel the love of God and do something worthwhile to promote peace in the world and not demoralizing hatred!
I honestly believe that God sent President Obama to show us the way to treat one another with dignity!! (Rush Limbaugh could certainly try to find some dignity, as he has never shown any!)
60-Year Old White Woman in Ohio
Obama=most powerful man in the world
Limbaugh=windbag on A.M. radio.
Yep, I can see why Obama must be scared.
No one cares about Rush Limbaugh the druggie.
Why oh why, really please tell me why does CNN waste their valuable resources and talent or the American Public's precious short attention span reporting anything that Rush Limbaugh says or does? If we were playing Jeopardy and the answer was "Self-important, Dishonest Hypocrite" the question would certainly be "Who is Rush Limbaugh".
Although the articles admittedly seem to be about how utterly ridiculous and mentally lame he and his followers are, they still give a shred of credibility to a loathsome man and his hate-inspiring, unintelligent train of thought.
Let him and his dwindling Ditt-iots say what they need to on their own air-time or on Faux News. Unless he's making news by checking into rehab again, I think most of your viewers and readers don't really care what he's saying, doing or thinking.
What a fool! Obama is not afraid, he has more pressing issues to deal with than to even have a conversation with this moron. Rush you must have gone back to even harder drugs to think the President is afraid of him. He needs to get over himself and if he doesn't like living in America, there is a cesspools that can accommodate him.
What an idiot!!!
Of course Obama is afraid of Rush. He is a vile, disgusting creature. I am afraid of him, too.
MR. LIMBAUGH YOU ARE JUST WHAT THIS NATION DOES NOT NEED AT THIS TIME. GO FIND YOUR BUDDY HANITY AND THE BOTH YOU FORM YOU OWN REPUBLIC. BECAUSE THE CITIZENS OF THIS HAVE SPOKE. DON'T LIKE IT LEAVE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rush Limbaugh you are a waste of life! What a shame you breathe air that someone else could use. God is not mocked, what you sow, you will reap! BET!!!
As Forest Gump once said "Stupid is a stupid does." How dumb do people in this country have to be to even acknowledge this drug addict is still around. Any ignorant person can get on tv or radio this just proves it .
Can you say stay of the sauce. How drunk was he when he made those comments. FAILURE should have his picture next to it in the dictionary.
Rush does not want this president to fail. He SAID he does hope he fails on issues that would be harmful to this country. All of you know exactly what Rush said and exactly what he meant but choose to twist the truth as all liberals usually do. Listen to Rush! Listen to the liberal media, continue to support Obama and this country is headed for disaster . JUST LISTEN TO RUSH with an open mind and you will learn the truth and also what is best for this country.
We're so scared, NOT! The only ones that are scared are the ones who have always been scared, Repugs!
I hope Obama does great and I have very good feeling about him.
Please President Obama fight for us.
It's over, Rush. Been over for a long time for you. A few frightened people clutching their guns and Bibles out in the woods still listen to you, but most of your "listeners" are actually under the impression that they're listening to a parody of benighted caveman rightwingerdom.
Stick a fork in him, he's done.
Jason – I don't think you're being fair to the cockroaches.
Jason January 26th, 2009 7:53 pm ET
Thank you CNN, I'm realizing Rush Limbaugh and cockroaches have a lot in common: they're both ugly, will never go away, and it's hard to imagine what purpose they serve.
Rush is not the only one who thinks like that, tell the ovamit he'll have to come after the rest of us "natural" citizens as well. we all down YES YOU WILL FAIL mr illegal muslim. too!
Limbaugh has an advantage over Obama in that he is unconstrained by reality. His rant about hoping Obama "fails" ignores the fact that the government takeover began with his buddy Bush. One would think it says something if Bush and Obama agree on a policy, but apparently Limbaugh doesn't have enough brain cells to make that connection.
Idiot.
white,black,brown,yellow we are a country of immigrants.if mr.limbaugh does not care for our new president then he needs to get the hell out of this country ,i did not vote for president obama but i will support him 100 percent . maybe mr.limbaugh should live in russia because he sounds like a communist to me.anyway god bless america and our new president.
Obviously Rush is the pathetic face of the Republican party. When this talk show host gets into his daily bull pit to spew his rants, the right wing hangs on to his every single word. Does anyone really wonder why the Republica party lost and has been left in the dust for the past several years?
jared January 26th, 2009 8:05 pm ET
iam sure obama fears no man , including you limpbraugh i remember when you was losing your hearing and was crying and sobbing on the radio worser than a the little man that you are. and they came up w/ that new operation and restored your hearing and every sense you have been and have resorted now more than ever to your evil satanic ways. iam hear to tell you just keep livi'n persons of your ilk will reap what you sow. obama will resist the devil "and he will flee".
_______________________________________________________
I am sure that your folks are real proud you learned to use your little 'puter, now next time maybe you can use spell and grammar check too, just like a normal person
Rush Limbaugh the rotting voice of the rapidly shrinking Republican/conservative ideological minority. Go abuse of prescription pills as well as other drugs like you usually do and stop inventing nonsensical garbage and false claims. If you want the President to fail then you want the nation to fail as well, typical Republican always putting the political party before the nation and its people.
You cannot stand the new administration which has already reversed many negative bills & projects of the previous administration. You say that Barack Obama has not done much? He has almost 2 terms in the Senate and won by a landslide in the last elections, becoming the first minority candidate to be elected President. He has done a lot more than you and anyone you support, have ever supported or will ever support. You are just desperate for attention and purposely pessimistic to hold your listeners in fear and ignorance like you always have.
Perhaps this overweight drug addict should join most Americans on our journey away from the ugliness and divisiveness of the past 8 years. Our ship is leaving the dock and my money says he is proudly driving his oversize SUV to the train station. Nega-dittos idiot.
I hope Mr. Limbaugh does not represent the majority of American people. If what we need now is someone to unify us, what does Mr. Limbaugh think he is accompishing with his remarks that he hopes to see President Obama fail?
Wasn't it Mr. Limbaugh who implied that disagreeing with the former President Bush by staging protests against his policies in Iraq were 'Anti-American"? I can only imagine the tongue-lashing someone would have received if they had stated on the radio that they hoped President Bush would fail. Mr. Limbaugh is a person that thrives on devisiveness and contempt.
As for President Obama being afraid of him, let's be realistic. One man was just elected to the highest office in the land by a wide margin and has the trust and faith of not only the United States but a majority of the free world. The other is a big mouthed egomaniac who has already had to resign from one job because of his controversial comments.
Mr Limbaugh has a habit of talking before thinking. So as far as I'm concerned just give him time.....he'll self destruct again!
The President might be afraid Rush would get upwind of him, or maybe sit on him. But that would be about all.
Must be the oxycontin circling his brain. Hey Rush, forgot to wear your tin foil hat again? The gamma rays are getting through...
Obama is so much better than anyone could hope for. The Republicans have a very long way to go to change their party's image, and it isn't going to happen when you have Republican leaders like Rush poisoning the airways. What a joke that anyone would be afraid of a joke like Rush. His ignorance only sends more toxic energy into our country, and it is so sad that people allow hiim to think for them. Thank God, we have some positive, hopeful leadership to inspire us into the action that is needed to start correcting the policies of Bush. The rest of the world may someday respect us again under Democratic leadership. Let's not get dragged down into the depths of negative behaviors that certain Republicans and Fox news would hope for. Their type of behavior will only serve to further divide the country and slow our need for change.
Limbaugh is nothing more thant an idealogue-for-profit who enjoys abusing his right to free speech as much as Fred Phelps and his ilk.
Rush needs to get off yhat "RUSH" he is on and face reality we are all in this together.
why would anybody, especially President Obama, be afraid of a big fat jerk like Limbaugh?? He is irrelevant, he just doesn't have enough sense to know it!
I have to admit Rush Goebbels makes an excellent Mister of Propaganda. Years of drug abuse have taken there toll on the troll!
I think miss interpreted Rush's comments. He wants Obama to fail, because of the Liberal philosophies that he represents and is going to implement. I don't believe Rush wants the country to fail, but Liberalism.
Also to those choosing to poke at his former addiction to pain medicine why don't you lay off. People have faults and there isn't a group of people that is perfect, all groups will come with the good and the bad. I'm sure Rush is not proud of his former addiction, but he was able to recover which I'm sure was a personal triumph for him and everyone should support someone who is able to pull themselves out of the gutter to better themselves.
This is by no means to say that I agree with Rush and what he says on the radio, but I think everyone can afford to be decent to one another.
It is just easier to ignore the Fat Drug Addict!
Why would Obama be afraid of Limbaugh? That's laughable. Obama has more important things to worry about than what some conservative talk show host has to blather on about. Maybe if Rush spent more time talking about some possible solutions and decide to actually work with his GOP family rather than telling them to do nothing, we might get something done in this country for once. But no, he'd rather be the big child, throwing out allegations and having temper tantrums. Whatever, I've already spent too much time thinking about it, and he's not worth it.
The comments by comedian Limbaugh demonstrates how desparate he is for attention. I remember him being exposed as an addict, you would think after that humbling experience he would have learned to be more modest and less judgemental...Oh, btw, President Obama isn't afraid of someone as foolish and dellusional as this jerk! And if the country was to fail people like Limbaugh will be to blame more than anyone else, they are the ones who haven't gotten the memo that America has changed for the better!
Limbaugh remarks are on the edge of treason. Wanting Obama to fail at this point in time is akin to wanting America to fail. I guess he would prefer another 8 years of Bush, then 8 years of Palin.
Pay attention to what Rush is saying you morons. He does not want the country to fail. He is a true patriot, unlike you pampered lefties out there. He wants Obama's Socialist policies, which will be bad for our country to fail. That is being a real American.
Redneck woman and proud.
You wish Rush, Obama has about as much fear of you, as he would have of lint. Your all talk Rush and with all the talking that you do, you accomplish, nothing. You brag on your career over and over, but you need to ask yourself what have you carved out of it all that will help or contribute to society? If you know so much Rush, and can do so much, get your fat feet wet and run for something.
He SOB must be back on Viagra and Prozaq mixture
Hey, this is Limbaugh's schtick. He knows he's full of bull, but he gets lots of listeners this way. He's only doing it for the money, he needs people to talk about him and it's working again. While being a reprehensible jerk, he does know how to tweak his listeners and keep them coming back. You gotta give give him credit, though making your living through dispensing hate is not a way I'd choose to earn money.
Does anyone even listen to Rush anymore?
get a life....
Your a legend in your mind Limbaugh
you need to get a life soon so you wont be so angry and mean
Obama is the best that America has and will see to take care of the U.S.A.
Your just a old fool
It's a little funny that saying anything resembling what Limbaugh barks on his radio show would have been treason and 'unpatriotic' during the Bush presidency. Anyone remember the lynching of the Dixie Chiks?
And seriously, you can hate Obama all you want or disagree with his policies...but if the president fails, we ALL fail as a country. Offer up your suggestions and your ideas rather than shutting down every single idea that is not yours Limbaugh....otherwise STFU!
Leesen Rush big tong, no body 's afraid off you less oure President, but I believe you're again on drugs, so if you shut off youre tong you can be in a big problem. The midia like you expect to be, when toolck agais American will, separating the American peopel by yours laing stupidity is cosidret sabotaje and in a situation like that you lose youre job and go to jail I'll be so happy to see this idiot on jail, I believe the time is close,you're on the media and you're a drog adict how came the government acceptet such think like that? You're trash that what you are Rush wide tong
558 556 and my cooent is still in moderation. DONT POST IT CNN BUT GO TO HELL
Well, most people WOULD be frightened of ugly bigoted hypocrites. Perhaps Rush was on the meds to dull the pain of being such a desperate idiot.
Can you blame Obama? Most people are scared of lunatics.
President Obama is afraid of Limbaugh and the stupid commentaries he spits out everyday...ROFLMAO. Limbaugh is obviously takiing drugs again. We are all fortunate to have freedom of speech, but Limbaugh is an idiot. You know things are not right in the world when a person with questionable judgement is a headliner on a major news network.
Please!!!!!!!!!!!!!Lets focus on getting this country back on track.
my impression of rush limbo- a pair of ears held apart by a fat head
remember kids, to much oxy and you can go deaf
when will these racists morons on the right fade away from this beautiful earth? please let it be soon. all republicans most go.
Making outlandish statements = High Ratings. Hopefully, most don't take him too seriously.
Rush needs to rush off the radio for good. I wonder why he does not any kids? Is he married? He sounds really unhappy and angry? He is an idiot, only a small sect of people listen to him, and they all have one thing in common, figure it out.
I thought that I had observed one cocky today (Blog) – and now to read this article has me laughing so hard I cannot stop crying – two in one day – Rush must be popping some hillbilly drug. Ha
Why would he be afraid of a fat, ignorant white boy?
Rush wants our President to fail. In other words, he wants America to fail. He wants the country to suffer in a recession and into a depression so he can say he is right. Al Franken was right. Rush is a big, fat idiot.
Haaaaaaaaaaaaa hahahahaha .. very funny.... Hey Limbaugh other than a few children and ur cat, no one is afraid of you trust me...but was a good jock...very funny!!!!!!!!!!
So you must not like my comment. Very curious.
liberal vitriol throwing will commence in 3,2,1....
top reasons I still listen to Rush....
1) He has been mentioned more than Tony Rezko since BO took office
2) He has the innate ability to raise a liberals blood pressure simply by opening his mouth, this never fails
3) He has more influence on millions of americans than does any other one person
All because of a microphone and a dream
If only the media would stop reporting his every grunt we would be off much better, He is such an ugly man. And he clearly wants America to fail; what kind of patriotism is that?
Go back to your pigsty, Rush ,where you belong.
Limbaugh is afraid of being revealed as irrelevant and is desperately trying to keep his drug-addled face in the news. It's appalling the way he keeps trying to pick a fight when he's not even interesting, creative or amusing. Go away, Rush. You & Bush can still get a boat and have that 'private time' you've been wanting.
RUSH – take a PILL.
Rush is just another old-timer whose views are obsolete and irrelevant. I wish he'd get back on the pain killers he was addicted to, he seemed somewhat more pleasant then.
No one is scared of Rush. He is, in a word, irrelevant, and should be allowed to drift into the inky blackness of the abyss of cultural insignificance upon which he has teetered for years.
What a sad pathetic joke. The truth is this moronic windbag is terrified of the fact that he is TOTALLY IRRELEVENT. I will not waste time on this sad excuse for a man except to say Americans should realize what his ex-wives finally wised up to, there is no there /there. Your 15 minutes are long over, and if you had any dignity or brains (and you don`t) you would just fade away.
Once upon a time, wasn't Limbaugh significant to the lowest common denominator? Poor drug addict, doesn't he realize that his dish it out but can’t take it style is no longer relevant?
Let us first remember Rush could not cut it as a NFL announcer. It was his stupidity and words that got him fired. A few years ago, he puts himself in rehad for drug addication. Now, he's bad mouthing President Obama and stating, " I hope he fails". Is this the time to hope that our President fails? The President has only been in the White House less than a week. Thousands of Americans by the month are losing their jobs and homes. Rush is an idiot. He is a waste of skin and hair. This guy is a cancer to the American media.
Limbaugh is a fat, arrogant, no good person. He obviously is not a Christian or he would know that the Bible specifically states in the scriptures that we are to pray for our leaders. Limbaugh is a disgrace to society. He is just a trouble maker on all levels. NO ONE, I say, "NO ONE SHOULD LISTEN TO THIS MAN". Perhaps He is the anti-christ, so beware.
Yeah I'm frightened of delusional paranoid junkies too
We all have a choice to make in the world. Do we want to be part of the solution, or a part of the problem? Our country is in great need of people that want to work together to be part of the solution. To wish that the nation's new leader will fail, is not only selfish but foolhardy as well. What a sad piece of humanity dear old Rush is. I've got just one question, Rush. What have you done in your many years on Earth to make this world a better place? Please don't use your many years of obnoxious ranting and raving-that doesn't qualify as better-just loud! Me thinks that you are one of those big pieces of the puzzle that would qualify as a part of the problem. What a waste!
persident obama is not frightened of him but I tell the american people that should be afraid of this kind moron who wishes the country to fail and permote hate on the radio .there is no differance between his hate of america and bin-ladin.
Obama can't handle a radio talk show host and he is going to take on world leaders? We are in trouble, big trouble!
"Sound and fury, signifying nothing....a tale told by an Idiot"
I'm scared of him. After all, anyone who can talk that well while their head is firmly imbedded in their buttocks should be feared.
to all you dumb liberals, I hope Obama fails too!, what Rush said,
" he did not wish for Obama to turn the country into a socialist state. so he hopes he fails, not the country" DID we hear any liberal DEM say they hope Bush would would do a great job when he was pres.
Why would we wish OBAMA to turn this great country to a socialist state?
This is not news and is not newsworthy. Why CNN is giving this moron airtime is beyond me.
Stupid, Stupid man... stupid, stupid followers.
Limbaugh and company are what has been wrong with this country for the last 20 years. They have no shame...
Well only in America will you have people who will say or do anything to get attention. Instead of coming together as a people to make this country great again as it once was back in the day, you have instead folks who only want us as a country fail because they cannot see past the color of one's skin or their political party failed to win the election. Funny thing is, President Obama did not win an election that was clouded in scandal like the Bush/Florida fiasco. He won because an overwhelming number of Americans exercised their right to vote. It would seem to me folks like Limbaugh are the ones that are afraid. They are afraid of this country becoming great once again, they afraid of the niceties that they would get as good ole boys. Mr. Limbaugh, i hope you read this...you're not a conservative, you just aren't. You sir, ARE A STRAIGHT RACIST, stop playing the conservative role and admit it. You can see it, and smell it from Pluto from people like yourselves. Get over yourself, get over the fact that you are meaningless and be part of something great. Help us rebuild our image around the world, help build the trust with other countries. We have no allies in the world but ourselves as Americans. If we cannot come together, how do you expect us to be great and continue to be great for centuries to come? next time you want to say something, think about it thoroughly and think some more and ask yourself, what am i doing to help this country? Think...
Tina, NC.
Just ignore George Pool. By spelling it "Kanada" he is making a weak attempt at characterizing Canada as a some kind of extremist, right-wing state, just like when people spell it "Amerika". Less rhetoric like this and more reasonable discussion will be good for all of us.
Only continued, breathless coverage by the media will keep this blowfish inflated.
Clearly Obama is afraid of Limbaugh, why else would he tell others not to listen? He is afraid of what Limbaugh may influence amongst those same people with which he must persuade to achieve his goals. Saying that he hopes Obama fails is not wishing the country would fail. If you don't agree with Obama's principles and fear that his actions may cause further detriment, than of course you would want him to fail; but that same hope is for the better good of America. The problem is most of you clowns have been inebriated with the Obama Kool-Aid and have no clue as to what principles you were voting for when you pulled the lever for Obama. All you cared was that was that it will be a "Change" from what you saw the past 4 years. Limbaugh's point of views are no more one-sided than any article you will read on this site.
Poor rush, his unabashed, self glorifying persona has this time rankled the rath of "we the people" with his (drug induced ??) rant on PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA and stating his wish that that he, PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA, fail in his efforts for this country...ad nauseum. Does anyone listen to rl these days? Who are these crazy people? I say dump the dumpling!
Rush who?
He makes 38 million bucks a year to spew hate and divisiveness amongst his fellow Americans. He is the personification of the phrase 'Anti-American'. Freedom of speech is one of our rights, but this cat is dangerous to all of us.
Note to all right wing extremists: Being a staunch conservative doesn't mean you have to embrace a monster.
Lets work together and make our country a better place for ALL of us.
People are still listening to this guy?
Oh dear, Rush appears to be on drugs again!
Oh yeah Obama is quaking in his boots after that beating last year Rush's legions gave him when the Republicans won the..
Wait a minute... how did that those elections turn out and what did our President say the other day?
I WON!
Don't flatter yourself Limpbaugh! President Obama has much more pressing issues for him and his advisors to concern themselves with than your trivial little hate-monger hosted, wrong-leaning travesty you refer to as a radio show. Find another way to make a buck you egocentric twit. Instead spending so much time trying to divide the citizen of our nation why don't you try bringing people together in an effort to solve some of what ails the country. I guess that just wouldn't be as controversial or profitable.
We don't listen to drug addicts and high school dropouts. Apparently Rush Limbaugh's fans do!!
Just a sorry ploy to stay relevant by Limbaugh. Let's quit discussing him until he does something more positive – wonder how long that might take.
Minnesotan – well said.
@ anna smyth....the campagin is over...the socialist propaganda is no longer selling........please open your eyes..
He is totally UNAMERICAN and should give up his citizenship, move to another country and see how much BETTER it is....
then if Mr Obama turns this great country around refuse to allow him back! We as a country are in a terrible state and should be pulling together not listening to a crackpot like RUSH...
Obama sending our tax money to support other countries abortions HHHMMMM....the dude need Jesus.
Rush Limbaugh is the male version of Anne Coulter. Both of them just keep on revealing how much space exists between their ears when they open their mouths!
Someone needs to tell Rush to cut back on all those meds he's been stealing. The man has clearly "lost it" again.
Would have been nice to see the Eagles win too so Mc Nabb could look into the camera and say " Hows that for overrated Rush you fat bloviating drug addled hypocrite?"
Rush the idiot, Rush the drug addict, Rush the jerk who likes to think he is way more than what he is (nobody else think he's worth much)... I don't think Obama is scared, but I am scared all the time knowing that morons like Rush exist...
It’s hilarious that Limbaugh thinks The President is afraid of him, but I have my concerns fer sher, mostly because of all the idiots who listen to Limbaugh and bury their heads in the sand because they think see the end of the world everywhere they look. He may not have actually said "I want Obama to fail" but the intent is clear, and what kind of patriot would try to tear apart people at this most critical time in our society? He and Ann Coulter are desperately trying to keep people from embracing Our President... otherwise they risk becoming irrelevant. Hmmmm, too late...
CNN, you're distorting what Rush said. He said he wants Obama to fail... If that means the US will have to become a socialist country.
You should report the WHOLE news and leave the opinions to the bloggers. You're SUPPOSED to be neutral. You aren't if you're leaving off key information. JUST DO YOUR JOB!
Obama's statement makes good sense since Limbaugh has never said anything worth listening to.
Oh yea, Rush. We are all afraid of you. I have asked you many times to shut up and run for President. You have all of the answers for the problems in the US and the World. If you have all of the answers, stop hiding behind the mic and put get this country on the right track. As far as unity, if you have not looked lately, this country elected a black man for the most powerful position in the world by a landslide. If anybody should be afraid of anyone, it should be you afraid of a lot of other people. I think your kind is history. Again, run for President. Your opponent will be Sarah Palin and I think that I would have to vote for her over you any day of the week. However, she probably is afraid of you too and would not run. You are pathetic.
Fathead Limbaugh is just that – a fat-headed idiot.
Yes, President Obama wants people to come together, Sooooo.... why does it not make sense that he would tell people to not listen to someone that hopes he fails? This article and Limbaugh just don't make sense.
OMG.....LOL. What an fool! Why is anyone listening to this guy.
I know where I would like to put his cigar!
HAHAHAHA!!! Rush, you stupid fat, talk-radio host, NO ONE is afraid of you!
I bet its because of something as simple as Limbaugh being a overweight heavy breather with bad breath. Yuk, who would want to sit down with that.
When Rush says that he wishes Obama would fail, is similar to a person
on the Titanic telling another person there that he wishes the Titanic would sink in order to hurt that person. We are all on this ship together whether we like it or not. That is the talk of a foolish person, period.
Rush is such a high functioning moron... and that's an understatement.
dude this guy needs to zip it.
I'm scared of you, Rush! You're a pill-popping sociopath with a public forum!
Sorry... Got too fired up and had a couple of run-on sentences in my last post
If Rush cares so much about our country and the GOP, why hasn't he ran for any public office??????? A radio show does not count as a public service Rush. The last time I checked you can't propose any bills of law or amendments from behind a microphone.
Rush will nothing but a blow hard until he puts his money where his mouth is and gets himself elected to an office and shows the world how capable he is at being a "leader" of the GOP. Quit hiding behind your mic and do something that makes a difference, if you are so rightous.
Hey Rush-Our president does not fear you one bit. What is there to fear about a hate spewing, pill popping idiot??????
why don't you excuse yourself and leave as Bush did...if he scored 20% on the polls...you are running along side...you will soon be lower..bye bye
The only thing Rush is doing is getting Republicans to vote Democratic – shhhhh, don't anyone tell him.
have you ever been around drug addicts who can't shut up? limbaugh has no clue what he is saying...
Rush, you are too extrem. Can you speak with reserved, I have been listening to you for years. You are always vomiting words just to intimidate or provove someone. Obama is not or will never be frightened of you. This is a very intellectual man that you witch to have in your group. You need to go back to school to stop degrading people. Political parties do not make anyone a human being. I hope one day you will be a democrat.
I am your sister
Rush is a terrorist,or a traidor that vants is country
to fail,i think he could be charged with sonting and sent to Guantonamo.
Sugestions please.
Aw, go snort some more Viagra ya freak.
wouldn't the whole be better off if they didn't listen to that pill poppin' pumpkinhead? Come on-if you aren't able to see that he is just a caricature who says outlandish things to have a career and keep people listening, then I don't have a lot left to say to you...
Keep telling yourself that rush – you'll be the only one that believes it.
Rush Limbaugh, the man who;
*Preached de-regulation that led to the Wall Street debacle
*Railed against spending, which soared under republican control
*Railed against lobbyists, whom doubled under republican control
*Praised the Bush/Cheney administration for their secrecy
*Defended the Bush/Cheney administration for their support of torture
and a host of other ridiculous statements.
What this country needs is a few less big mouths with no plan like Rush and his convicted felon buddy, G. Gordon Liddy on the radio preaching to us about ethics in government!!
Frightened of Limbaugh? Give me a break. Rush is even losing credibility among Republicans with his wishing a president to fail nonsense.
President Obama was simply offering the GOP advice. Their base is free to heed those words or continue listening/dittoing the demagogy of Limbaugh, Coulter, Beck, Hannity, etc. while losing more members & elections.
First off, Limbaugh is not Colbert, he's serious about what he says
Second, may people do not approve Obama's administration yet (the approval ratings for his administration has come down since he was inaugurated)
Third, his version of conservationism, though a little extreme at times, is geared to work on all americans to get them not to depend on the government and to work hard for themselves by them selves.
Finnally, he was only addicted to painkillers, unlike obama who admitted to smoking marijuana and never disclosed how long he had done so. How can you call Rush an addict (he's a former addict) when Obama tread on that path as well?
This shows the faulty logic of the extremists on the right. They attack those who disagreed with the failed Bush Administration as "unpatriotic", but they have not the slightest problem hoping Barack Obama fails, despite what that will mean for the country. It is self-serving and hypocritical, and that's being charitable.
Maybe Rush has been trying to think too long with half his brain tied behind his back. Looks like the lack of brainpower is showing.
So all the republicans,that loves LIMBag would loved to bring this country down,I would not believed a citizen of this great nation wants the president to fails,LiMbag if this president fails,there are a whole bunch of your kind are suffer too,so shut your mouth and take your drugs,or move to Alaska and live with your pal
The country-club, elitist, white-supremacist, glutton, hate-filled hypocrites like Limbaugh need to stay in their gated community mansions and let the United States move forward without them.
I think we need to get it straight about who is afraid of whom. Why is Limbaugh being so harsh and evil unless he is afraid of the changes that Obama is making and the death of the Right Wing of the White House. Keep up the good work Barack!
Tony Rezko- Rush Limbaugh has turned into an Al Qaida-like fiqure. Someone who's afraid of Obama because he knows Obama's doing alot of good and will continue doing it. Rush DID say he wants Obama (aka america) TO FAIL. You remember the fate of the Soviet Union? There won't be an America four years from now if we are in this condition!
May God help us all!
In in extinction, Rush is still thrashing a round in the sewer. I just wish the alligators would get him. Even more sad is that there are people out there who still think he has something to say. That's more scary.
russ limbaugh the gop idol.
It's time to flush Rush. What a bag of wind. Hey Rush! I hope you fail. Oops- you have.
Nobody's afraid of that drug addicted old radio curmudgeon least of all Obama. Rush is so totally irrelevant in the new progressive era he unwittingly help unleash. The US has moved on and relics such as he will be remembered for their contributions or lack thereof.
Tom Bray you may want to do some research before you comment.
Rush said he hopes Obama policy fails. I agree with him, if you go to whitehouse.gov and read his plans, it is quite alarming.
He wants min. wage at $9.50 and hour by 2011
He wants to force states that banned gay marriage to accept marriages from other states that allow them.
Obama is going to make Carter look like right winger. I'm a proud American and I want our country to be successful, but I do not believe we will if Obama gets his way.
Rush Limbaugh is unamerican and a traitor to this country, even Sean Hannity is hoping Obama succeeds.
Reminds me of that scene in "Fried Green Tomatoes" when the KKK racist is bullying the black woman and she keeps saying she isn't afraid of him and he says "You should be!" And look what happened to him.
The secret's in the sauce, Rush!
Rush shows Hussein to be a pretty thin skinned autocrat. Already I see the libitoids making this story in to a Sara Palin thing by saying that Limbaugh said he wishes the country would fail. Absolutely not true like so much other dumbocrat crap. they spread.
Someboby please get t this big fat trash out of America. We don't need this kind of ignorant in this country.
What Rush Limbaugh fails to understand is the more he rattles on with his nonsense about how Obama is afraid of him, which I highly doubt, the more he propells Obama and his team to success.
Limbaugh is just happy that there's a Dem in the White House because he's got at last four more years on his radio contract. Let's remember, he burst on the scene during the Clinton Administration and he had lots of stuff to talk - I'm sorry - criticize during Clinton's 8 years. As I recall, when Republicans are in office, we he nothing from Limbaugh. So, he's just priming himself for the next 4 maybe 8 years of the Obama Administration.
Obama was simply telling them what the rest of us already know. That Rush is a windbag who doesn't nothing more than spread BS and hate.
He's a junkie that dropped out of school. Why does anyone take him seriously anyway?
Just pure ignorance.
I suspect Rush knows what Obama knows and where he wants to take a once independent nation that is no more. How successful the first African American president will be only time will tell.
All the previous postings from followers of the "Great Himself"(obama).
I remember well the throngs that fell for anfd fell in line with one Adolph hitler, We know the outcome of that worship.
Then there was those who went all tingly, fell in line and followed one Jim Jones. We are well aware of what happened to those poor misguided fools.
Now we are confronted by the obama, will the suckers come to their senses or will they drink the cool-ade?
anna smyth:
Do you have any idea what a Socialist State actually is, judging by your post, no you don't. If you are talking about Socialism then I suggest you take a long look at the last, oh let's say, half a dozen Presidents we've had. I guess you don't like Social Security or Pale Grants or Unemployment benefits, WIC, Medicare, Medicaid, shall I go on? Those and others are based on Socialism. All of you really need to get off the Socialism kick.
most importantly , a large majority of americans are frightened of him. which means republicans can count on 'Rushy' to keep driving away potential support for their soon to be extinct party.
Limbaugh is just a PIG,he looks like a pig. Fat and ugly
Limbaugh has an alligator mouth and a woodpecker behind. The more he talks, the more he sound like an idiot too. Maybe he took too much drugs and it fried his mind.
I'm going to dress as Rush Limbaugh for Halloween this year and say that I'm going as a "Giant Tool".
WHO CARES!!!!!
Limbaugh is Hater all the way......
hey, rush...can ya spare a few pills for hurtin' man? looooooo--ser!
Q: Why would the president of the United States go and "attack" a private citizen for speaking his mind?
A: Because perceives him as a threat! (in other words, he's afraid of him)
The grown up thing for Obama to do would have been to ignore Rush – but he didn't (Hmmm.... sounds like he's afraid)
What would the media have done had Bush attacked a left-wing private citizen???
Rush is such a douche. Instead of trying to unify everyone, he is trying to divide everyone with his pettiness. who listens to this toolbag anyways? Bush?
Rush wants America to fail, this is called "starving the beast" the final solution of the NeoCons. He is a traitor and should be dealt with accordingly. After years of successfully supporting policies to concentrate wealth in the hands of a few, Rush and his financial backers are pulling out the stops to wreck any rebalance of the political pendulum to spread wealth and opportunity around. Let's have a country for the 'rest of us' and leave Rush where he is sliding, into the ashcan of history.
Limbaugh is a radical. He advocates similar dictates as the Taliban. These are based on his interpretation of "right". Ultra conservatism is just as bad as ultra lieralism. I have difficulty listening to anyone that must raise their voice 50 decibles to "get their point across", so Limbaugh is not someone I turn to on the radio.
Rush: "Obama is frightened of me."
Me: Do you mean the Rush on drugs? Or the Rush on 30 Viagra pills? Or just the garden variety fat, ignorant, racist moron Rush?
Rush Limbaugh is just a bag of hot air, just ignore the idiot and hopefully he will slither under the rock where he came from.
You pig! You common swill eating swine! Take some more meds and go away forever.
I have not even listened to Rush since he supported NAFTA. He is an insignificant wind bag.
I am so glad I don't listen to this, hard to tell what he is. Obviously not a bonafide U.S. Citizen. How do they keep him on the air?
Oh, Rush...why can't you admit that YOU have no influence over the minds of intelligent people in this great nation, as evidenced by the results of the 2008 presidential election? Methinks you're still popping those goofy pills of yours. Obama is afraid of you? Please...you're not even relevant.
Rush Limbaugh is just another Village Idiot. He was probably seperated from Gov. Palin at birth and the doctors couldn't figure out where to put the brains so they donated them to science for research. They discarded them as being totally useless.
Rush is an idiot. Plain and simple.
To "I was right!":
You say this and yet Rush is one spreading vitrol just as bad, if not worse. He says what he says because he knows it pisses people off. Not because he is really right, but because he knows it pisses people off. It obviously got your attention as well. Good for Rush for doing what he wanted to do...divide people more. Yeah America!
To "Anna Smyth":
Being liberal leaning, I can honestly say I never wanted Bush to fail. I sincerely wanted him to succeed. But he was a failure, IMHO. And because he failed, our country is in a worse position than it was before. Why would we want that?
Also, what evidence have you seen so far of this terrifying "Socialist State"? You're still living off of the deciet that people like Limbaugh spread. Stop listening to them for a month and listen to other commentators that are less biased. And obviously people like O'Rielly/Olbermann and such are too biased to be trusted.
Just watch at what Obama does and make your own educated judgement on whether his actions are "Socialist" or not.
Why is Rush and all the fundies scared out of their wits of Obama? Why are they so afraid of nationalized health care? If you get leukemia and you don't have insurance the result is death. Why do Rep want to kill the sick? Is that what Jesus wanted?
Rush Limbaugh is a canker sore on this country, and Obama is the medicine to heal it. Who cares what Limbaugh thinks. He and his fringe followers are becoming a little less relevant every day.
Hmmmm – good ole Rush must be in one his drug-induced hazes. Or did he ever really emerge?
Is that creature on drugs again ? What is the FBI doing ?
if you even had a fraction of the talent guys like bubba, howard stern or scotty ferrell have, i'd take your psycho babble more seriously. you want Obama to fail so you're not lonely at the frikkin bottom any more.
I think Rush should just move to another country for the next 4 years. After a recent visit to India I am more than happy to be in the USA no matter who is president Maybe he would appreciate what a great nation we have if he moved his show to another country
There you go, another ego right here, LOL!!
He's frightened of you Rush, don't hurt his feelings. You'll make him cry next time, LOL!!
Be afraid Rush, be afraid..I thought he was because of these executive orders?? LOL!! You know, we jokingly played around over here that we won't be surprised if Ann Coulter went out with Rush, we even got odds on that for crying out loud, LOL!!
No, Rush – he's not afraid of you. He suggested people stop listening because you're IRRELEVANT. You WISH he was afraid of you, but that's your very small narrow mind having hallucinations.
I was right!: Rush Limbaugh only has 20 million listeners and there are 300 million Americans. So Limbaugh does not have that much influence in the nation as you might think. More than 70 million citizens voted for Barack Obama. Obama has more than 3 times the support that Limbaugh has so your "reason" 3. is totally false. The only reason Rush raises our blood pressure is because everything that comes out of his mouth is invented by him, false, delusional, hateful, pessimistic, ignorant and fear mongering.
Your 1. "reason" is totally irrelevant, Tony Rezko is a nobody and just because Rush has been mentioned a lot does not give any validity to his comments or is not a compliment to him either. He is mentioned for his ignorant, hateful & divisive ideals & "values".
Rush Limbaugh, your are so shallow. You have no integrity, no courage and no humility. You are a racist who makes their living off of being ignorant. No talent. Go get a real job.
You Dumb-o-crats just don't get it. First off....99% of you need to go back to school and finish the 6th grade. You have the writing abilities of a group of ignorant Dumb-o-crat children. I wish NObama the same goodwill as you Dumb-o-crats wished on President Bush; i.e NONE. As Carlos Mencia says..."Dee dee dee". Get back on the short bus and go back to where you came from.
This guy needs a shrink !!!!
Rush is an idiot who spews fear, hate, and ignorance. It's high time all credible politicians, talk show hosts, members of academia, and commentators say so bluntly and tell folks that getting spun up at his scare tactics is senseless and unconstructive. Time to tell it like it is and quit giving this buffoon a free ride.
He reminds me of a silly little boy...he really is pathetic.
Rush must be having a bad rush again. To wish failure on the President of our country is like wishing failure on every citizen of the U.S.A. I think Plumbob should Pop Two Pills, Take A Nap, Wake-Up and give us something positive and straight to talk about . He should get on The Band Wagon To Recovery or Get Off the Air Ways.
The failures of the last Eight Years has been enough for America.
Larry, from Texas
Trust me honey, he ain't scared of you. He just thinks listening to you causes brain rot. He just wants the people he's trying to work with to be sharp and not be zombies.
Who wouldn't be scared of a pill popping lunatic idiot?
Does he understand... that if Obama fails, we all fail. I would not wish that on my friends, family, neighbors... what an ignorant man.
Negative attention is better than no attention. That's what children think.
Joe the Plumber you got a job to do man, something is stincking here.
When around Rush Limbaugh, one ought to have a healthy fear of getting eaten.
Yo "R in Maine"
But the Democratic Republic called the United States of America DOES have reason to fear a skinny black boy, better known as the new SOCIALIST president!!!
He might be right that Obama is frightened. Most people who listen to this pill popping whack job are just as crazy as he is, but don't have the millions to keep them for going all out crazy on conservative fascism. Rush does it for the money – people who listen actually believe.
To state the obvious, what a piece of work Limbaugh is...after misrepresenting Obama's economic plans (Obama never said he would "absorb" banks as Limbaugh claimed the other day) and stating that he hopes the new president fails, he expresses outrage at Obama for suggesting people turn off the vile, uninformed, self serving crap that he calls his radio show. Perhaps Limbaugh is afraid that if enough people stop listening, he'll lose his meal ticket and will have to go back to living off the government, as he once did. As for Obama being "frightened" of him, I think it's apparent to any clear thinking person that Limbaugh is not good enough to clean the screen on Obama's Blackberry.
What a worthless piece... why does anyone listen to him? How low of an IQ must you have to actually enjoy listening to him. He wants the United States of America to fail. If you want our President to fail, you are asking for the failure of our country. He is without a doubt, the most unpatriotic American alive. He's a drug addicted hypocrite. I really wish he would take is fat arse to another country and annoy their people for the rest of his pathetic life... only I wouldn't even wish that on the people of Iraq.
Rush, you must be taking some new drugs that put you in a state of dellusion. The good people of USA will make this country great again and Obama will lead us there. I am 61, white, and female, and it is polution like you that makes me so very ashamed. Thank God for our youth!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I feel sorry for Limbaugh's soul. When was the last time this man looked in the mirror and saw what has become of his image? I believe there is still hope for salvation, even for someone who spews so much venom.
If it weren't for the destruction of the Fairness Doctrine by the GOP and Reagan, this idiot wouldn't have a job. Go figure.
"See in my line of work you got to keep repeating things over and over and over again for the truth to sink in, to kind of catapult the propaganda."
-Dubya
A small and bitter man preaching divisive malice to those with smaller minds; in truth, I pity him and they, for the past is the past and the future holds nothing for those who are incapable of letting go.
Rush very much needs psychological attention; I pray he receives it before his hatred boomerangs, circling back to claim him in that dark and special way enmity always does.
Ditto, you are pathetic and an ignorant moron. Wish you well
Limbaugh/Palin 2012!!!! Let's Go!!!
Rush needs to check himself; is he so despondent over the whipping that the republicans took in the election that he doesn't know how to think straight and develop intelligent commentary for his radio show. Why in the world would the President of the United States have to fear Rush Limbaugh. I think it is time for an intervention, obviously "he doesn't have all the numbers on the clock."
Limbaugh is an idiot that feeds into those individuals who choose to live in a world of hate and racism. For those followers of Limbaugh, they obviously are not thinking of the best interest of our country, this moron wishes that our new President fails so that he can be proven right somehow.
44 has as much to fear from this man as he did from any other outdated, hysterical facist that baited him on his way to the top, and he has responded in the same, appropriate way, by not responding.
Once again, we have a man in charge that is equal to the office. Where are all the decent conservatives (I actually know several) who might be able to get this toxic idiot to go away?
It isn't that President Obama is scared of Limbaugh. Look Obama's plan represents driving a truck with a very important load in its carrier. Eyes focussed on the road ahead making sure we dodge all the debris along the way so that we make this long drive safely. Limbaugh represents...well....you know....that goofy looking clown that stands out right next to the highway waving some silly banner to distract you and get you to come into a Chucky Chesses or something like that. The message is clear. Ignore the funny clown and lets just focus on the task at hand.
Limbaugh your an idiot.
Anyone with an ounce of common sense should be very, very afraid of Rush Limbaugh. He is more a menace to society than the worst possible plague.

To anna smyth
You other name is Ana Smith. What are you hiding from??
Move and get a life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
All these recent comments from Limbaugh suggest that he's switched his recreational drug consumption to one of the hallucinogens. Wonder how many tabs he drops before showtime.
Rush, you must be the most conceded man on the face of this earth.
Obama is not scared of you, the simple fact is that you are not worth his time.
Obama is secretely thanking Limbaugh – Limbaugh is the reason so many republicans jumped ship and voted Democratic.
And, the more Limbaugh spews the more support Obama gets.
I think it's hysterical!
Keep on keeping on, Rush – there's another election on the way.
Limbaugh is a nut case. Does he really think he has that much influence. I just don't get it. I know, he is obviously making that coment to say the Republican Party has no more influence than he does with the President. Now that really is far reaching. But surely you took his comment "I hope the President fail out of context. No American in his right mind would wish something like that. If he fails, all americans fail.
Rush Limbaugh is a deluded publicity-seeker who is drunk on the praise from his own syncophant listeners. If Congressional Republicans are silly enough to follow his advice, they know that they will be seen as a partisan obstacle to Obama and they will be blamed by the public.
The Republicans know that they only tactic that they really have is a Senate fillibuster...which accomplishes nothing but delay. The public wants action now...not partisan gridlock.
I dont take advice for any guy that had to go to rehab cause he couldnt control his pill poppin.
It's people like Rush who spread hate in america which in turn spreads hate across the globe. we are coming together as a nation and as a world, and we need to stop hate and racism, so i think rush is the one who is actually scared. It starts by setting a better example in our own country, we don't need rush, lannity, or o'reilly, spreading the virus anymore, they can all disappear off into the sunset with bush and his administration.
I think he's just afraid you'll sit on him.
to 'i was right'......would you like some lube? squeezing your own fat head up your arse is gonna hurt without some slippery action down there. do yourself a favor and subscribe to SiriusXM. far more compelling content than anything Rush has or ever will put out.
PS...FU.
Rush has zero credibility. Obama is too busy trying to fix the mess Bush left him to pay attention to Rush's immature grade school yard bully taunts. GET A CLUE RUSH. The nation has voted for Change instead of the politics of intollerance and division. In the new Obama Era who has time to listen to the rantings of an aging fat balding spitefull hatefull racist bigot of a hypocritical drug addict? The sooner people stop supporting his shows sponsors the sooner his moronic rants of hate will go off the air.
He did not say that he wanted the country to fail. He said that he wanted Obama's left wing policies to fail, there is a difference.
Rush, you are nothing but a worthless piece of skin.....
I dont listen to any radio hosts that goes to rehab cause they couldnt control there pill poppin habit.
The man represents everything that is wrong with our human race as a whole.
Rush Limbaugh is a deluded publicity-seeker who is drunk on the praise from his own syncophant listeners. If Congressional Republicans are silly enough to follow his advice, they know that they will be seen as a partisan obstacle to Obama and they will be blamed by the public.
The Republicans know that they only tactic that they really have is a Senate fillibuster...which accomplishes nothing but delay. The public wants action now...not partisan gridlock. Do Republicans really intend to follow the advice of a man who openly states that he wants to see our new President fail? If Barack Obama fails, so does the country.
The only way people like Rush ever learn that they are finished is when the rest of us turn our backs on them. Even the most intellectually challenged individual will simply go away when ignored by everyone. Stop giving him a forum, stop paying attention, stop commenting on his antics.
Is there ever a better reason to require all parties to have eqaul air time to express an opposing viewpoint when all this fellow is spew out hate.
Why do most of talk radio only bash? What about coming up with some ideas instead of just complaining.
Why in the world would anyone be afraid of a ignorant drug addict that in his own miniature mind is never wrong ?
I love the President response via his press secretary "tell him I said Hi". That shows real fear alright. It's about all the time ole Rush deserves, and that's just one brief second. SHUT UP RUSH!!!!!!!
Well, I suppose there is a place in this world for everyone (sigh). Limbaugh is a very small fish in a very large pond, who bottom feeds on those that get a rush from tabloid material such as his. Limbaugh is very excited because now after eight years, there is some new material to use in his broadcasts, which translates into more money for him. He will probably do himself in with too many foolish and stupid statements and die a broken old man who never figured it out.
point and laugh, then move on
How many of you liberals laughed at every mispeak and mistake Bush made? Sure seems like alot of you wished the best for him.
How many of you wanted to cut and run from Iraq and defund our military? How many wanted to call the heroes that protect us murderers and killers of babies?
Treason? I think more so than wishing for potential socialistic policies to fail. Bigger government is not better, you didn't like Bush expanding the government anymore than I did. Why the change of opinion?
this fat piece of republicans racists should get something and stick up.
Rush Limbaugh is nothing more than an overpaid, over-hyped entertainer.
He makes Amy Winehouse look sane.
CNN's version of what President Obama said is different enough from what he actually said that it's easy to misconstrue. What he said was that the GOP shouldn't just listen to Rush Limbaugh - NOT that they shouldn't listen to Rush but that they shouldn't listen to Rush to the exclusion of listening to anyone else.
Now that's a very different statement. And it is a statement suggesting that our elected officials should listen to more than one point of view.
It's unimaginable how this comment has managed to grow into the pissing contest that Rush Limbaugh is making it, and it may indeed backfire on ol' Rush. One can certainly hope.
Rush Limbaugh and Rod Blagojevich are two of a kind – - "coo-coo".
Someone should tell that fat drug addict to shut up.
But, before that happens, CNN and other news agencies should quit giving the fat drug addict any news time.
anna smith- if you and Rush want Obama to fail, then AMERICA FAils
May god bless both of you!!
I wonder how many people wanted Rush to fail when he was addicted to pain killers. I believe the only thing Rush is frightened of is losing another 15 minutes of fame.
Rush Limbaugh should hope that President Obama succeeds, especially if our new President is able to push a decent health plan, then Rush could get the drugs he abuses much more cheaply.
i cannt believe he gets any attention at all, so sad.
he brings out the worst in everyone.
the world would be much better without this hateful jerk.
Rush Limbaugh should run for president.....oh wait hes just a panzy who hides behind a microphone and runs his fat mouth.......somebody needs to put a sock in it
what an insecure idiot! Rush go back to your pill popping and get a life!
To the dittoheads out there, or whatever you so proudly call yourselves to emphasize your mindlessness, the problem with Limbaugh's "argument" is that Obama isn't trying to turn the country into a socialist country. The bailouts certainly weren't his idea, and were initiated before he was even elected, let alone took office. You can try and fudge it by saying, "I don't want the country to fail, I want Obama to fail in his aspirations to make us socialist," but those arent his aims. He looks to adjust the tax bracket slightly - actually so that MORE Americans will be giving LESS of their hard earned money to the government - and he wants to offer a national health insurance policy, but thats not socialism. So when you say you want him to fail, its kind of hard to rationalize your way out of saying you don't want the country to fail. A president's success is measured by the relative prosperity of the country during his tenure. If America gets back on track, starts creating jobs again, gets the economy rolling again, then Obama will have been a success. I'd rather see our country prosper again than have my personal ideals validated. I guess thats a difference between myself and Limbaugh.
paul in orgeon check your spelling it's spelled IDIOT not a( IDiOtL) the bottom line on most idols which orginally was carvings used in worship. lifeless and boring like lumbaugh.rush is like dung stinks to high hell
Rush, dear friend, please remember that rehab is for quitters!
Mr. Limbaugh is anti-American!
RUSH, OBAMA IS ALREADY TAKEN BY MICHELLE SO GO FIND YOURSELF YOUR OWN AND STOP BEING SO STUCK ON OBAMA. RUSH YOU ARE REALLY BEGINNING TO SOUND LIKE YOU GOT A THING FOR OBAMA, BUT YOU AREN'T OBAMA'S TYPE.
This man is a loser, plan and simple . All he needs is attention and its a pity he's getting that attention from Republicans who listen to him.
Rush Bimbo got choke on some Hamburger in the Attic. We got a democrat as a President and YES YES YES he is a Black man named PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA
No, what's frightening are all the morons in this country who get all their info from the fat, fascist bastard. Idiots...
Rush 2012 !!!
Rush Rimblah has some serious baggage he needs to deal with. Perhaps he should dry out and try taking a sober look at reality. He appears to have the mental capacity of a dope.
I am going to admit that I occasionally listen to LImbaugh. He is very articulate, has a great voice, and has a pretty good sense of humor. With that said, the real reason I listen to him is that I like to hear him suffer.. It is clearly a real effort for him to hide his disgust that an African American is now running his country. His ultra conservative views are now those of an ever decreasing minority, and he has to know that he is on the wrong side of pretty much every issue these days. I will keep listening to you Rush – out of pity.....
I hate commenting on anything that Limbaugh says because he is getting exactly what he wants: attention. But why hasn't the FBI or CIA taken this ding-a-ling into custody for "threatening" our national security? If our president fails, we all fail; our collective well-being is jeopardized, and when our well-being is jeopardized, so is the well-being of millions of people around the world, or hasn't Rush been watching and listening the last eight years. Limbaugh's comments only smack of his lack of judgment and moral ineptitude.
Sad old man. Wanting to be important. Hopefully, the American people have moved on from him.
rush limbaugh is such a retard and schmuck for real!
who let that retard have his own tv show?
[quote]Limbaugh: Obama is 'frightened of me[/quote]
This is so hilarious, I'm laughing so hard at this worthless, fat, dope-sodden lump that I can't hardly type. . .
Come on Rush, sounds to me like you are the one who is afraid. You want him to fail, which would only deepen the pain Americans are going through, at least the average, bottom 90% of the country who is not over compensated like you. You're nothing but a pill poping, big mouth spewing venom who could not care one bit about the future of our country unless it involves ultra conservatives ruling like kings. You should be afraid of a higher power and how you will be judged in the end. At least the President is working overtime to fix the mess and has shown more leadership in one week than you and your cronies have in 20 years.
Limbaugh is full of smoke and mabye oxycodone again-who really pays this guy-would never listen to him. Sponsors, you are wasting your money!!
Ahhh...Nothin like a little rousing bloviation from "Rash" following his afternoon of overindulgence in mason jar home-brew and too much oxy.
He still doesn't get it. Obama's had to deal with people like Rash his whole life and all it does is strengthen him. You can't do anything to him that hasn't already been done.
About 10 years from now, Obama will have spent 8 years at the helm of this Country, will be working on his library, penning another book and be the most requested speaker in the world. Rush will be looking for pickup work as the newest spokesperson for Bob's Fatboy..ehr..I mean Bigboy.
I wouldn't listen to anything this drug addict has to say. He lies to his listeners and spins the facts and no one calls him on it... no thanks for me.
The media is part of the problem that keeps this country divided too. This is not news. It has no relevance on the economy, security, or the health care issues of the country. Its just the comments of a bigot that wants attention. He know that comments like these will get him the exposure he wants . It only adds fuel to the hate groups that rather see this country fail than see people of all races unite and support President Obama as he tries to put this country back on track.
Imus lost his job for speaking a bit to openly.
Mr. Limbaugh deserves a taste of Imus.
As a proud Obama American, I am insulted by Mr. Limbaugh.
I hope Mr. Limbaugh fails !!
No one is scared of you Limbaugh. We just think you are a fool and a fear monger.
Free country free opinion a good idea. Sir, Mr. Limbaugh
Take your pill before you go on air.
To be honest I am afraid of aficionado if you know what I mean……
Rush Limbaugh is an old, tired, gaseous, windbag.
Is it any wonder the Republicans just lost an election? With a spokesman like Rush, Obama won't have to try too hard in 2012.
Pop another oxycontin and try to convince the American people that Obama is frightened of you. You are a coward who has never and will never make the impact that Obama has made during the past year. You are a pathetic excuse for a person and will ultimately be your own demise.
This man is so ignorant, he just want someone to feed into his ego. He may just be high off oxycotin. If the world was like him, we'll all be messed up. It's good to know that most of the world has changed except a very small percentage of bigots like rush. It's time for you to face reality, he's my president and your president. accept it and learn to like it. If you had an ounce of integerity, you will give him a chance. You wanted the world to understand your addiction. What so bad about President Obama? Is it because he"s a black man. I don't know
if you know it or not but there are so intelligent blacks in this world.
I don't know Rush but I bet he call himself a man of God. All of the bigots do. But the hate a man because of the color of his skin.
Limbaugh, please go away and stay away. You're a divider and we're sick and tired of you and your BS.
Does anyone still listen to Rush????
Rush seems to believe his own press. That's very nice; BUT IT'S WRONG!!!!! I regret that President Obama gave him the attention that he did. To think that President Obama is afraid of him or even cares about opinion borders on madness and intelligent Americans don't give him their time of day. We should just pray Rush goes back to rehab because he is obviously on some kind of mind altering drug.
Poor Rush.....He is a big fat dope addiicted JOKE. I do enjoy his show though, he's hilarious.
I HAVE TRIED ON MANY OCCASIONS TO GET MY COMMENTS PUBLISHED BY CNN AND HAVE FAILED. I BELIEVE THAT IT IS DUE TO MY POLITICS.
CNN IS LITTLE MORE THAN "ENTERTAINMENT TONIGHT" TRYING TO REPORT THEIR TAKE ON THE NEWS...
i used to love talk radio but now this new breed of right wing talk show radio hosts have taken it to the level of verbal paparazzi. taking cheap shots out of focus.
I think everyone should be afraid of Rush, he's like a run away train, made out of mouth, fat, and pills. Lucky for us, most of the Rush Limbaughs' die young.
What has Rush Limbaugh ever accomplished?
Who in the heck cares what some drunk, addicted, drug smuggling, divorced fat bigot has to say?
I say we toss Limbaugh into Gitmo!!!!
Does anyone even listen to this moron? His kind are gone (ie the conservative extremists or, as conservative like to call extremists, terrorists) and this country is finally moving in the right direction -forward! Let him mouth off all he wants – at least it gives us all something to laugh at.
Though I do find it interesting that when the rest of us questions Bush and his policies and called for his impeachment we were labeled as anti-American, terrorist loving extremists but when the American Terrorists do it, it's holding the government accountable. Oh to be a fly on the wall when Limbaugh has to face God and explain his hatred, arrogance and pride.
RUSH...LIKE MOST RADIO TALK SHOW HOST IS ONLY CONCERNED WITH RATINGS AND NOT REAL CONTENT. HE'S THE CONSERVATIVE
HOWARD STERN..SAY ANYTHING TO GET YOU AMPED..WHO CARES.
All of you who responded negatively with your ignorant comments about Rush and his remark about wanting Obama to fail have not read Rush's statement in its entirety. Rush want s Obama to fail in his socialist attitudes. And I dont't think many of you want socialism in this country. Rush is on of the most informed, intelligent men who should be in politics intead of the wackos we have in there now.
Sorry, Rush.
You're just irrelevant. Get over yourself.
listened to rush for years sometimes wrong sometimes right he's got freedom to say whatever he likes if you dont like it dont listen thats your right
Guys you are wasting your time trying to reason with this Russ Limbaugh guy. The man is too deformed to be reformed. Lets just hope that he takes his hatred with him to his grave when his time comes.
Hey Cnn! Why do even bother to post stories about this pill popping windbag. If people want to hear what Limbaugh is saying then they can watch Fox (GAG!!) News along with all the narrowminded dropouts who love him. If we ignore him he'll just shrivel up and blow away!!
Rush Limbaugh-A ledgend in his own mind-and the EIB-absurd misnomer for the worst radio talk show in the free world today!! He is the most unpatriotic citizen in the USA, including Blagojevich, and Rush should be tarred and feathered and flown out of the Nation today, if of course you could find a third world country that would take Limbaugh. People are tired of potty mouth-Rush and he and his EIB network should be forced off the airways by the FCC for communist, facist, and otherwise dictatorial-revolutionary comments. Get a life Rush and try to do something positive, just one time in your life by supporting the country and the administration that allows a worm like you to earn a living in our fair country. Goodbye to Rush and the EIB!!!
How long until Limbaugh joins Coulter in the "People We Stopped Caring About" list?
Rush Limbaugh has been the mouthpiece of an era of political and governmental failure. He has consistently provided a lot of heat without providing any constructive dialogue.
The idea that President Obama fears him is just a grandiose fallacy. Obama is telling the Republican leaders to forget about this guy lest they become irrelevant to the important work the country must do.
It's time to put aside childish things.
The silly and outlandish bloviating of Limbaugh, Hannity, and Coulter has run it's course. The country can ill-afford the counterproduction of these political entertainers.
These are serious times that require serious people. Limbaugh is a bad joke. No one is laughing anymore.
Actually Rush, I am afraid of you, and I think a lot of other people should be, too, if only because there are a lot of people that actually believe the junk that flows so readily out of your mouth. Not all of us buy into this kind of stuff. Reminds me of more of this; Nixon, Shackley, Clines, Bush (all of them, including Prescott-who helped monetarily fund Hitler, by the way-do some research, its true.) All of these goons worked as hard as they could to ruin Jimmy Carter, and then Clinton. (I am no Democrat, either, but it was still all junk.) Rush, you and all your "Scum and Bones" (oh wait, you never graduated from that school, or any other, because you are a single minded fool.) buddies have done your very best to ruin our country, all in the name of more money and power for yourselves. 99% of people make me proud of my country. Then, there are people like you. Thanks for more B.S., Rush.
We are all afraid of you, Rush. You are crazy.
wow, what a caricature of a self-aggrandizing blow-hard. his ACT doesn't even qualify as stale; too bad he's painted himself into a corner – at one time he was actually ENTERTAINing.
Any person that openly cheers for their President and their country to be a failure should geeet out. All us democrats may not have liked Bush, but we would have all rather he not have been failure.
People point to Rush's drug problems because he has spoken so loudly against drug users and dealers in the past before he ever got caught. If he had been a good person, most of us would let him be after a simple apology. No liberal went on the air and cheered for Bush's conservative policies to fail, though many conservatives did act like that was the case every time a policy failure was discussed. There is a huge difference in pointing to what has happened and wishing that future decisions fail just so one idealogy triumphs no matter who is hurt. Any intelligent conservative would distance themselves from everything Rush stands for because he stands for failure in so many ways.
Who the hell cares what this loser thinks or even less what he has to say? The whole lot of right wing jokers like him were totally repudiated by the citizens of our country in the last election and lost all relevancy anyway, as if the last eight years didn't prove enought of the absurdity of their so-called views! Stop giving them the coverage that they oh-so-don't-deserve like the rest of yesterday's garbage!
I have known for a long time that they could pile it that high and wide. But it still amazes me that they were able to teach it to speak.
Wasn't this the same clown that when President Bush was screwing everything up was preaching that we should support him because he is our President and it would be unpatriotic to not support the President?
I think Rush Limbaugh is a total idiot! The man shows his ignorance everytime he opens his mouth or shows his face. We had 8 dreadful years with Bush do we really need more years with Limbaugh????????
He must be out of his mind. The way I see it, it's the other way around. He is sooo scared that PRESIDENT Obama (still can't get over it!) will most definitely succeed. Because if so then where would that leave the republican party. And for someone to wish failure on their president and country regardless of who is in office....is IGNORANT beyond measure. Lets take this back to grade school "if you have nothing nice to say, don't say anything at all."
You've got to be kidding. Anything for a sound bite to get his name out there again. Stop falling for it CNN.
If Rush hates America so much, he can just move to Canada. There's a new president – time for the bumbling fools who got us into this mess to take a back seat and tow the line. Or, shut up and leave.
I think Mr. Limbaugh should have been swollowed whole at birth.
Limbaugh should go to Iraq and Afghanistan to frighten the terrorists.
Rush is saying whatever it takes to get media attention on him. If he actually said something reasonable, do you think it would make news? The best way to get this person to shut up is to ignore him.
I would like to send a message to Rush Linbaugh. As you dittohead President was so fond of saying "Bring it on". Al Franken is right you are a big fat lier and the fact that you don't like it makes the Obama Presidecy even better.
Dood, one, he talked about a universal health care, which is socalism, since it requires to overthrow an entire industry first, just to give an example of how obama might be leaning towards a socalist nation.
Marianna, i don't thing Rush is rasist, i don't think i'm racist as well, i seriously don't care if Obama's black or not, it's his policies that are troubling, not the color of his skin
Angelo, i agree that obama didn't directly say he'd be taking over the banks, but forcing them to make loans (which got us here in the first place, not de-regulation like everyone else suggests) is taking control and thus what worries him...
also, being skeptic (because that is what Rush is, skeptic if anything, i don't think he's completly against Obama) of an opposition of your ideologies is not racism like many people are saying
As Obama himself said, we're remembered for what we build. Limbaugh's comments indicate that he is only interested in tearing down others instead of contributing to a much-needed discussion about our way forward.
ATTENTION!!
everyone..point, laugh, and move on
Rush Limbaugh is afraid of Obama because if Obama succeeds, it means all the crap Limbaugh spews is bogus. Be afraid Rush...
Rush, the only thing scared of you are cheeseburgers.
Rush, you do not belong to that siciety. Go back to where you are from.......hell !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ah yes, this is coming from the man that can't handle his own life so he has to take Percocets to cope with being himself.. Great credibility.
Rush tells the truth, folks. Seems all the politicians lie. Get use to the CHANGE. Our president was correct when he said,"It's going to be rough for a while...could it be they caused this...Mr. Secretary of the Treasury and all..best guess is they do NOT know how to fix it...better listen to Rush.
To the guy on here calling everyone Dumb-o-crats: Along with Rush, YOU sound like you're STILL IN the 6th grade! What's next – A "Nanny Nanny Boo Boo"???
Like I said about Blago......just another sociopath running around loose in America. Someone please shut these people up! Who are the idiots paying these people's salaries and who put microphones in their faces? We, as a society, need to stop feeding the insanity with all of the attention they crave. Let's get back to some state of sanity in this country.
If any of you actually listen to the show – and had half a brain – you would know that Rush does not want the new president to fail. These rediculous Ticker posts rarely put the information in the right context – especially if it is a conservative view point.
Rush said that from what we know about some of President Obama's planned policies, he hopes he fails in getting them implemented because he believes the policies are bad for the country.
When he says that President Obama is "frightened of him" it is not a literal – he is making the point that President Obama seems more concerned with his comments of opposition – rather than the republican senators and congressmen – which is a sad state of affairs for the republican party.
It's hard to believe that anyone with intelligence would look to this fat, uneducated, drug addict for answers on anything but maybe I've answered my own question. The man can't even control the amount of food that goes in his mouth on a daily basis but he wants to tell everyone how to run our Country. If he were ever in a position of power he would sell us all into slavery for a 1/2 gallon of ice cream.
Limbaugh is a loud mouth with a microphone who sells advertising. He is desperately trying to keep his name in the media because he knows the vast majority of people in our Country don't want to hear him. He wants Obama to fail. Well guess what, if Obama fails the economy fails and we fail. Go pop a pill and eat a chicken fried steak Rush but shut up.
radio people are so great. all they have to have is a good voice. obama went to harvard Limbaugh went to Southeast Missouri State University and failed after two semesters.
it's funny how so many educated people listen to a man who couldn't succeed at a 3rd rate school.
It amazes me how these pathetic people get behind a mic, gets a platform, and talk as if theyre the baddest thing walking the streets. Place them in the streets and see how bad they are; RUSH, you're a joke !
We have freedom of speech in America and this idiot should be glad.But I am so sick and tired of hearing this boorish,pillpopping loudmouth and the blatant HATE and POISON he spewsI cant stand it.God gave us two ears and one mouth so we would do twice as much listening as we do talking.Rush and Sean shut the F up.Your 15 minutes have got to end soon.
A Conservative Republican wondering who's side you really care about.
Fat biggot slob + Pill head = Fat boy Rush
@richard in charleston
So you are the one listener of Air America. Pleased to meet you.
Looks like Rush is hitting the Vicodin again. Rush, Obama is as frightened of you as a lion is frightened of a mouse.
It seems that all the left can do is continue with their childish ways, attack people they don't agree with by calling them names. If you felt that those things that Rush has said are false then prove otherwise with FACTS, not namecalling.
Rush never said that he wished for the country to fail, he only hoped that the policies that Obama pushed for that were socialist ideas to fail.
Rush is doing no different than you haters of him did while spewing hate against Bush.
Thank God for free speech. Only America gets it (I've lived in 4 different countries and speak from experience). Let Rush dig his own extra-wide, oxycontin-lined professional grave. Before long, it'll be him and the good Rev. Phelps saving us from ourselves.
This dude has issues
Hey CNN, why should I give a flip? This has to be the most sophomoric article I've seen here... and that's saying a LOT. This is elementary school playground gossip. We're sick of hearing this bull! CNN, don't you have anything more important to report?
Ah, Rush... delusions of grandeur. He THINKS he's FAR more important than he really is.
I'm a Republican. I listen to Rush Limbaugh (for entertainment). Nobody is scared of him. Nobody.
Rush, don't waste any more of America's time.
Limbaugh a cockroach.. Hmmmm... I guess I am too given that I agree with 75% of what he comments on. And like all cockroaches, we will survive the trying times this country is facing as well as this one term president. Long live conservatism!!! Liberal haters!
Last time I had a discussion of who was frightened of whom was with my second grader...
There is only one word that describes Rush and his listeners CRAZY!
I actually confronted Rush at the ATT Pro-Am in Pebble Beach several years back. He looked me in the face and said nothing. Guess he only has courage when he is in front of those who agree with him.
The only person that thinks anyone is afraid of Rush is Rush.
OH, I am glad President Obama spoke about personal responsibility.
We seem to be a nation with our hands out...get your heads out of the sand, grow up and move on. Take control of your own destiny.
Limbaugh is not even entertaining. What kind of American want his president to fail? Limbaugh has truly gone off the deep end.
Rush, don't waste any more of America's time.
Obama Voters are racists. They ran Bush out of town and now the black guy gets excuses for this man. He does not even know what he is signing. If Bush did this they would be shouting out loud. Obama does it and he is soooo smart.
Palin / Limbaugh 2012!!
Maybe if you poke Rush gravy will spill out of the holes, this fat piece of animal dung is a disgrace to America!
Oh please! What a pompous blowheart!
Rush Limbaugh : Largest talk show audience with 20 million listeners and growing!! How do you Libs explain that???
The reason President Obama warned GOP congressional leaders last week that "they should stop listening to Limbaugh" is because he represents people like George Poole. Vile, inane, morons.
Rush Limbaugh is nothing but a self-serving huckster of feculent odium and no one is frightened of him. What IS truly frightening though is the fact that he has a large audience of like-minded "fans".
CAN'T SOMEONE PLEASE DEPORT LIMBAUGH TO A DESERT ISLAND?
President Obama has made it clear that we have no use for divisive tactics and those who promote them and you Rush are the most self serving divisive person on the face of this earth.
Give me a break...this guy is a joke!
Dx in TX
Someone please tell this crackhead that Pres O nor ANYONE else is afraid of him.
Hey, Limbaugh, the next time you're down by the river, drop in. What an ego-maniac! He must be on drugs....again.
Can you believe this disgusting drug adict makes $26,000,000 per year off of the idiots who listen to his garbage?
limbaugh you are a iddiot go back under the rock you were under before our new president was elected find your drugs , disappear no is listening GO BARACK!!!!!!!!
Rush is just a name calling bully who is so dumb he doesn't realize that by opening up his mouth he does more harm to his cause than good. Obama has outsmarted Rush by using his own words as a rallying call that will sting any republican who opposes him as being one of the Rush followers who doesn't want what's best for the country but rather is so partisan that they'd rather see Obama fail. Weren't repubs suppossed to be the ones putting "country first?" Not very patriotic to want the president to fail because you care more about your own hateful ideology is it?
This guy is a total imbecile!
People should boycott his show. and stop giving him attention.He has no brains,he's just a hater.It's people like him that cause problems in the world.
Rush relies entirely on distortion and sensationalism, obvioulsly he is also delusional if he thinks President Obama is afraid of him. I live very near his hometown in Missouri, but I seldom admit it! God Bless America and may the Obama administraion make all Americans proud!
He is a complete and total idiot.
RL. you are all talk and no action, no one scared of you, you sit behind your mic for, what have you done a.h.
If I were Obama, I'd be frightened that Rush would try to eat me. The man has put on some weight again.
hey Rush! "Divided We Fall"
The anger and hate from all sides on this message board is truly saddening.
Frightened of an overweight drug addict? Gimme a break.
well, when a person has a hood and a robe, it makes black people think twice about their intentions. This man here is a coward pure and simple, who hids behind a microphone and spews out his hate and distain as the leader of the confederate party's Racist Right Wing.
I got a new song: "Rush the Dancing Klansman"
Hey, Walter–I explain Rush's 20 million listeners the same way I explain Britney Spears' multi-million-selling CDs, and the popularity of Wrestlemania.
No one ever got rich overestimating the intelligence of the American people.
What a complete fool. The more Limbaugh talks, the more people will realize what a totally delusional, out-of-touch person he is, and how truly marginalized the right wing has become. Keep flapping your gums, Rush.
His ego's almost as large as he is. He just wants more than his 15 minutes of fame. Let's stop giving it to him and stop covering these idiotic comments.
What a despicable soul!
He wants millions of Americans to become unemployed, get kicked out of their homes, terrorist to humiliate the nations, and everything America stand for to collapse just for his “party” to make a point?
The dude is on crack! or need some serious medication.
our "party"? what is going ON!!
Why are you not asking the republicans to explain how the Bush tax cuts helped the country? Then ask them to come up with a real plan that would get us out of this mess of Bush tax cuts and his lack of overseeing the spending of the first bailout. They all (Reps) keep saying the same. No I'm not trying to make excuses for BHO his administration is at least working. GWB worked when????
Mr. Limbaugh's comment today is among the least sincere and least honest statements he has ever made; this takes some serious effort, given his very long career of insincere and dishonest statements.
I don't know why would anyone listen to this crack head??? Can someone pls give me some more pain killers so can shut up and go away along with right wing Republicans!!
the big pill popper is popping pills again, he is more irrelevant everyday. that is what he is afraid of.
To walter: I'm not shocked there are approximately 20 million other idiots like Rush in this country – that's only about 6% of the population after all.
Perhaps Limbaugh does not understand that if Obama fails, then our country will be in a desperate shape. Limbaughs' comments are indicative of a 10th grade dropout who is also a drug addict. It is amazing how he gets paid so much money for extoling ignorant statements to an ignorant audience. All you hear is DITTO<DITTO. I turn on occcasionally to hear what that segment of our society thinks. It is impossible for me to listen past two minutes. Limbaugh, you should leave the country. The Republicans can't pay you off then. Will you and your group meet at the White House this time?
Jason @ 7:53
"Thank you CNN, I'm realizing Rush Limbaugh and cockroaches have a lot in common: they're both ugly, will never go away, and it's hard to imagine what purpose they serve."
Jason – that's harsh, man. What have the cockroaches ever done to deserve being compared to Limbaugh?
Hey Folks,
Gotta tell you the truth is...Rush wants Prez. Obama's policies to fail...have you noticed how SOCIALIST they are? Talk about ethics, how many upstanding , patriotic Cabinet members have been approved? I am so disappointed, I thought CHANGE was coming to DC...looks like more failed policy.
Jeff, baby–I think you mean conceited, not conceded.
Rush, Obama is not scared of you, nor is anyone else. You have no political clout whatsoever; all you are interested in are your ratings.
Thank God no thinking person listens to you
What else do you expect from a drug user? I big fat spoiled lying brat that needs attention! He WISHES he had the swagger and confidence of someone like Obama or even McCain!! He is a joke and HE will fail at life as he already apparently has....His wife left him and he is a dope head...Now THIS is a guy we can get behind nd support!!!
stop giving this gnat more airtime. nobody cares about him and his ignorant musings.
Obama can't take it. He needs a thicker skin. Radio pundits are paid millions of dollars a year, to stir up controversy. That's Limbaugh's job. And I am sure that McCain would not have been intimidated by some talk show host.
Dear Rush:
Why would anybody be afraid of an angry addict? You're an egomaniac with an inferiority complex.
Start working the steps and you will get better.
I thank "God" for Rush. Every time he opens his mouth, it reminds the world how narrow minded the far right can be. Get the clues Rush. It isn't about you, the right, or the religion agenda. It's about the country. It's about inclusion. It's about EVERYBODY. Not just who you feel is worthy. Keep talking Rush.
There are two way to become noticed.
1. By doing something good.
2. By doing something idiotic.
Limbaugh has done # 2.
Sounds like the Cry of the Irrelevant
A lot of us are afraid of drug addicts.
Limbaugh, do you think that you are GOD? Obama is not scared of you. You are a Conservative that makes a fool of yourself everyday and you have a bunch of fools that listens to the nonsense that you come up with. Who in the world would wish for anyone to fail at anything that they care about? Unless you were brought up by some dead beat person that don't care about themselves much anyone else. Get a grip and for once in your life DO SOMETHING GOOD.
Tom Wrote: "Obama Voters are racists. They ran Bush out of town and now the black guy gets excuses for this man"
Tom; wouldn't it be appropriate to writeh "Bush the white guy?" No matter what you say Tome "Archie bunker" The "Black guy" Is your president and there's not a HAM thing you can do about it, so go get your hood and robe and take your coward be-hind in the woods somewhere and Burn an Elephant
Rush.... keep on taking your oxycontin and shut up. You are worthless. All you do is try to stay in the news, and you are making a fool of your fat self and your followers. Now since you have all of the answers, Take some more prescription drugs, and crawl back into your corner.
Life is like a box of chocolates and Rush ate them thinkin they were drugs!!
Could somebody tell me which end of this fat unpopular, bag of bad wind is speaking out of? Whichever end it is, please somebody put a stop to it. Before he polutes the remainding air that we breathe!
Rush Limbaugh YOU ARE A RACIST PIG and TERRORIST.
Don't give the Rotund carnival barker any more time
Wow. Rush sounds like he's afraid. Could it be that Limbaugh and Coulter are realizing that the policies that they pushed foward are finally being rejected by the American people? Listening to them you would have thought Obama just squeaked thrugh the election. That is a lie. The electoral map shows Obama got 365 electoral votes. Poor Rush. It's a shame when reality crashes in.
Rush, Hannity, and Coulter are Racists
I guess someone had one too many oxycontin again!!
Rush Limbaugh is grasping for attention now that Bush is out of office, he's like a screaming toddler, throwing a fit that the Republican party no longer dominates the government.
You might even say Limbaugh is afraid of Obama now that his audience has vanished.
Can't President Obama declare this guy a federal disaster area?
Rash Lamebrain, what a clown.
Poor Rush! He counts his millions but he really doesn't count anymore, relegated as is now to the fringes of the American electorate, the Pluto of the Republican Party.
It is truly astonishing how the Communist Nonsense Network filters out all rational posts and will only post the liberal lemmings. "Appropriate for posting" means far-left ideology.
Yeah we're afraid of idiots that actually listen to him for their mental health because it's expensive on the taxpayer to medicate them.
Obama's overwhelming victory in the polls, and all the positive energy surrounding him are likely to result in at least one thing: listenership to the EIB network heading down.
The better Obama handles problems, the less people will care what this extreme ideologue radio talk show host has to say.
When the EIB Arbitrons head down, Limbaugh will lose stations, and eventually head back to the obscurity his views deserve.
It won't happen over night, but then neither will the economic turn around.
He may think he has "talent on loan from god" but basically he has airspace on loan from advertising revenue.
And when that revenue goes, so will his stardom.
It happens to every media figure eventually. With comments like that we can hope the end of his days are coming soon.
Dear R in Florida,
CNN has published your "ideas" on this blog. And the fact that you have politics to the far right of genghis Kahn is irrelevant. What is relevant is that you seem to believe in socialism for the rich or at least you ignore it. And worse you whine when you can't wait for the CNN editors to to their thing. I think this forum is too smart for you.
This guy is a waste of space who is in dire need for attention. Everything that comes out of his mouth only makes sense to his buddies alike who doesn't want what's best for this country and who only think of themselves-so selfish and ignorant.
if your not a liberal you have no free speach!!!
Liberals are a very angry people and hate is in there blood, and they hate rush!!!
Mr. Limbaugh's statement indicates he is heavily into prescription drugs again.........
Rush Limbaugh sounds as small and pathetic as the bully on the schoolyard. He obviously has baggage.
Are you serious? Why in the world would someone be afraid of you...unless you are going to sit on them and they can't push you of and have to listen to you ramble all day! You are fool to think that our the new president of the United States of America is afraid of one radio host. The man faced Hilliary Clinton and she is by far the brightest and strongest fighter that the democrats have had in years. You are just trying to stroke your ego because a lot less people are listening to you and you need to make up some type of excuse to make you feel better.
What I cannot understand is why this Demon is still on-air. LimFat matches the discription of satan in the Bible- Fat blob , dirty, greesy, smelly, full of sin. He is a plegue on the earth. He opens his mouth and locus come out.
"walter January 26th, 2009 8:58 pm ET
Rush Limbaugh : Largest talk show audience with 20 million listeners and growing!! How do you Libs explain that???"
Vicodin.
Pelosi – Reid – Kerry-Obama - They certainly do deserve each other.
limbaugh speaks for and is a member of the white trash, redneck, war making, bush loving, southern slave states.
the south never does good for america.
always war, hate, christian creeps and uneducated ignorant losers.
ha,ha,ha.
oh well, that's the south for you, folks !
No one is scared of you, you old drug-addled windbag.
Rush Limbaugh .... now there's an intellect!!
( as in "I can say whatever I want 'cause I've got the mike!" )
Hey Rush can you spell MORON?!
Rush is the best thing to happen to the Democratic party.. How pathetic our Republican party has become..
Limbaugh is just brain washing his fans in order to make $. He doesn't care about America he cares about having high ratings spreading his hate for his own interest.
Stay on him, Rush! Keep up the good work!
as long as Rush / Hannity / & Coulter is speaking, the Republicans will NEVER win the White House !!
It will be at LEAST 2020 !!
They may win a few Senate seats, or Congressional Seats, from time to time, but they're DONE, (as you can see) ( or hear the way Rush sees it)
They let Obama keep his Blackberry .....Does anyone know what that means ???
Answer : If he starts NOW, he will have at Least 1 Billion for his
re-election campaign in 2012....
Th Republicans doesn't have a "snowballs chance" in 2012....
20 million listeners. That is the problem for the repubs. He has 20 million listeners who make him rich. 50 million that ignore him. And 75 million that hate his guts.
Why do republican politicians think these numbers will win them elections.
With his comments of the past few days that he wants "Obama to fail" and now that "Obama is frightened of me", Limbaugh has thrust himself into the world of anachronisms. He's obviously deranged and he's deluding himself. He has nothing substantive or of merit to contribute to the national dialog. There was a time when I used to hear his broadcast, but right now, I'm not sure if anyone can listen to him at all. I truly feel pity for him. I wonder if his problems with drugs in the recent past have finally caught-up with him.
Obama afraid of Limbaugh? Now THAT's funny! In your dreams, Rush!
Obama is not afraid to tackle our failing economy, two wars, terrorism, corruption, and all the problems facing our country. Why would he be afraid of a spineless, anti-American wimp like Limbaugh?
I cannot believe that CNN would even acknowledge a known drug addict Like Hush Bimbo!
Hi, My name is Rush ... and I'm a TOTAL HACK. Sorry that must have been the PILLS talking.
Please ... put a white jacket on me and stop my madness.
I used to be a avid Rush listener. Even as a conservative, it was only for entertainment reasons. Nothing more. If anyone takes him more serious than that, they need to turn off the radio and do some of their own research and study. Doing otherwise leaves you powerless, which is exactly what Rush rails against.
p.s. I have not listened to this man in over 7 years and the song remains the same.
It appears that Limbaugh is a bully and racist.
I liked him better when he was poppin' pills.
Rush Limbaugh. Father Coughlin. Julius Streicher. All cut from the same dank, stinking, dogmatic cloth. Is this humanity's lot?
Rush reminds me of a poor man's mussalini
Limbaugh is the reason why the Republican party is still a joke.
What an idiot. Rush Limbaugh is pathetic and anyone who genutine listens to him and believes what he spews requires help.
Limbaugh is irrelevant only to rational thinking people. Unfortunately, his minions think they are rational thinking people.
Could someone please arrange to lock Limbaugh in a small room with Ann Coulter and Sarah Palin. It shouldn't take more than a minute and a half for the noxious gas that eminates from all of them to combust and, voila! problem solved.
Hahaha!!!
Rush hand over the drugs!!!! Please Obama afraid of you? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
Rush and Sean Hannity has so much hatred for president Obama that listening to this two media personality is wasting of valuable time. They both failed on their mission to stop Obama from becoming the president durning the 2008 general election.They need to leave our new beloved president alone.
To all those who are defending Limbaugh with the argument:
'What he wants is that Obama's policies/plans for the country fails, not that the country fails!'
Let's just remember...
Those policies/plans, no matter how much you dispise them, are the ones that will guide the country over the next 4 years, so if they fail the country fails TOO!
Got it?
I thoght he died from an overdose and too much ham. Seriously, why is he even still speaking and who are the idiots who listen? Mountain people in Arkansas?
It seems lots of people are afraid of Rush. Just look at these posts! Very hateful where there is no need. How about just the facts. Keep the emotion out of it.
And I'd keep drugs out of it. Wow, Obama's revelations are hushed up, Heath is idolized, but liberals keep bashing any conservative that made past mistakes.
Also, if people would read thoroughly, Rush said yes, he hopes Obama's socialistic policies fail.
President Bush has left the building, guys. Is Rush your next target to keep the focus off of Obama?
Response to Walter:
Lack of Educated sheep.
Are you serious? I have heard some ridiculous things in my day but this about tops all. Rush is about the most prejudice,ignorant moron big mouth I have ever had the misfortune to hear. Rush really needs to think before he opens that cesspool of a mouth of his and allows this garbage out for the rest of us to be exposed to. He is too much of an idiot to realize we have just had 8 years of a failed president & for him to wish that on our new president is down right stupid & hateful. If you can't offer our new president & the rest of America that unfortunately has to be exposed to you anything positive KEEP YOUR TRAP SHUT. EVERYONE IS TIRED OF THE NEGATIVE SHARE POSITIVE THINGS FOR A CHANGE. The result may surprise even you Rush(idiot).
walter,
20 million listeners? You're out of luck, that still isnt not enough to win an election.
Man you people spew vitriole when someone disagrees with your opinions.Calling people pigs and drug addicts doesn`t further your arguments very well!!The man (Rush Limbaugh) is being intentionally misinterpreted here.He didn`t say he hoped the country or BO failed.His statement was that if he pushed a Socialist agenda he hoped it failed.When you libs were on the ropes it was because people were so intolerant and wouldn`t give you a break.Wow ,now the shoes on the other foot and intolerance of free speech seems to be OK with you.The last President was dogged about everything that went wrong in this country so why shouldn`t people be able to speak their mind now if they think this president is not doing things correctly?Oh I get it you libs are only tolerant of opinions if you agree with them.
Is it any wonder why his followers are called "Dittoheads"? They sure can't think for themselves and need to keep drinking the kool-aid Rush keeps pouring for them. His audience is the same as who watch Faux "News" and kneel in adoration before their right-wing commentators.
Someone suggested they send Rush to Canada ... as a Canadian we don't want him either.
Rush, Obama doesn't give you a second thought and that frightens YOU.
Sounds like Limbaugh is more afraid of President Barack Obama than Obama is afraid of you. The problem here, is that Obama has better things to do with his time than spend a moment of his precious time with Limbaugh.
Limbaugh, is a disgusting, racist, and very sad human being.
RUSH LIMBAUGH: THE FOURTH BRANCH OF THE U.S. GOVERNMENT. Way to go, Rush! Keep 'em on the run!
What kind of human being Limaugh is that he does not want another man to succeed in life. Maybe he wishes his family to fail too.
walter:
There are 300 million people in this country, and nearly 6 billion on this planet. Most of us don't listen to Rush, we prefer intelligent dialogue.
Tom you're an obvious idiot and Limbaugh listener. Try educating yourself & stop letting someone else do it for you. Moron
This is Rush's way of getting attention, if everyone would continue to do him like we have for years especially through his pill popping years he will maybe go away.
In essence, does Rush truly contribute anything positive to the world?
Oh, thank heavens. Rush is now getting some attention since his incompetent players have been sent home. How did he possibly manage for the last 8 years without the spotlight?
No one is afraid of you, Rush. Most people are bored with you except for your 'Ditto-heads' who apparently don't have a mind of their own.
RUSH IS A MAJOR FACTOR WHY THIS COUNTRY IS DIVIDED.IF AMERICA BELIEVES IN EXPORT, HE SHOULD BE THE FIRST TO GO ....NOW!!!!!WHAT A JOKE.
Why would a popular President be worried about the thoughts of a drug addict?
What is Limbaugh sniffing?
Limbaugh you are dirt under President Obama's FEET!
delusional
Rush, fortunately or unfortunately a lot of conservative Americans share the same political point of view that you report on your show.
However, you are and will continue to be a pompus self serving egotist. With little to no redeeming value.
Be glad Obama was elected, because his election gave you fonder for your followers.
Obama afraid of the pillsbury dough boy. Please. Lose some weight and lay off the drugs then you can talk. So far the pillsbury dough boy makes no sense.
Can someone please tell this druggie to just start using again and OD? I long for the day when I don't have to hear this pathetic loser's voice again. He is completely worthless.
In your dreams, you corpulent pig. You cowards like to talk big.
Obama would kick you all the way to back to West Palm Beach like a piece of garbage.
ha Rush Limbaugh who listens to him anyways? What a great American... wanting our President to fail? Rush Limbaugh is a coward!
It is obvious that liberals can't do anything but hurl insults and call names.
It is also obvious that not only Obama, but also the liberal media are all afraid of Limbaugh, otherwise they wouldn't pay him any attention.
I am yet to be astonished at this man behavior, , That's why I hope my kids, and my grandkids, don't have to be bother with useless people like this, who's seeds nothing but hate, divide, and discriminate if your, left, right, center, black, brown, red, or purple, it doesn't matter your not white! That's what he is really saying.to our President Obama by saying he is afraid of me. I think he should stop smoking those cuban cigars...it's effecting us now.
Enough!
sarah/florida-naples
Hey Rush – go back to your EIB studio – have something more to eat – and SHUT UP!!!
Limbaugh is a piece of crap. A steaming, stinking pile of turd and nothing more. He is the scum of the earth, along with Bin Laden, Bush, child raping priests, meth crazed gay evangelist preachers, foot-tapping bathroom sex-wanting Senators and vile, cowering disease infested junkies. He is a drug addict who wishes the worst for America in order to further his own pathetic and miserable agenda.
To make anything this kook says into a "news" story shows a complete and utter lack of integrity and professionalism on behalf of cnn.
FLUSH RUSH.
I am just laughed...........laughed................laughed..............laughed.................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................and..............laughed
Obama is worried about Rush Limbaugh because Limbaugh will get the message out that Obama is what he is. Obama has used crack cocaine, and slept with a man according to a report that was hidden from most American's eyes. This man is going to change our country, all right. It will be changed from everything our forefathers set up up. He will sign bills that will ultimately control us, and stir up a racial war in this country that hasn't been seen since the Civil War. Obama needs to get out of the office, and I hope it is done soon, so that we can get on with things.
The mad mind of a drug addict. This is the voice/face of the Republican right? Rush......even the name implies drugs! Amusement does not constitute fear. People laugh at you. No one, especially not the most powerful person in the United States, is scared of you, you fool.
Limbaugh should be charged with sedition, he insights anger towards the government with outright lies...
Those that follow him without actually getting another data point to support his argurment are nothing more than sheep...
– former republican...
Osama Bin Limbaugh? The great patriot. LOL. Hes got enuf money. Maybe he just needs more drugs and wives.
rush rush rush.....
another sarah palin trying to say anything to stay relevent,
this guy should load his mouth up with some truths for once and do us a favor
people that listen to this garbage and believe it should follow suit
liberal haters ha ha
forget all sides the system needs to be scraped
Ignore this fool that's the only sure way he will fade away
Rush you stink like a piece of old french goat cheese rotting in the Riveria sun. Do us all a favor and gag it! Your opinions are formed from the mouth of a coward, who hides behind a microphone and has never contributed one useful, positive act to society–except getting arrested and going off air for a time. At a time when our country is smoking and the flames are about to erupt your windbag mouth fans the fires of dissent and hate, that is not what this country needs right now. Do something useful and retire, help other drug addicts get their life back together, at least you know something about that.
Major lack in Judgement by Obama to call Rush out by name. Rush might be full of it, but the President of the United States does not tell people to stop listening in another US citizen. It shows weakness.
I find it hard to give a former Oxycontin addict any of my time. How many times was this moron wasted out of his mind when spewing his drivel. Wake up folks, stop letting someone else tell you what to think. You too can examine the facts and come up with your own opinion. Rush, much like Michael Moore cash in on people's ignorance. They could care less what you think.
Hey Belinda,
McCain was born in Panama and Obama was born in Hawaii. That makes Obama a "naturalized" citizen and McCain not. Didn't every media outlet and even McCain himself make this CLEAR during the election. Wake up you automaton. You just proved the point that this man has you believing lies. How pitiful this makes your statement.
Don't forget it was the Bush Administration that flew the Bin Laden family out of here when no other planes were allowed to be up in our airspace without military approval, not Obama, and it is he who has a unique upbringing that allows him to see both sides of the fence from both a religious and racial point of view. Something you or I can not. This will prove to be the balance this country needs. Lets not forget we founded this country with the intent of freedom of religion.
Just because Muslims were responsible for 911, many home grown terrorists have done many horrific things. What about the wacco's in Waco should that make us hate Texans, Oklahoma City Bomber Timothy McVeigh was a Christian and lets not forget all the priests and ministers that have been caught groping our kids. WAKE UP!
Yes, Rush, the President of the United States is afraid of you. Has it occurred to you that Obama hasn't taken your bait because he considers you insignificant?
This man is need of attention.
@ Walter......
you can have 20 million idiots so what's your point???
Let's see if I understood this article. A sycophantic, narcissistic, megalomaniacal, Southeast Missouri State drop-out junkie worshipped by the fundamentalist sheep of the now-tattered Republican party thinks that a highly intelligent, articulate, Columbia/Harvard educated, solutions-oriented, physically fit United States President elected by 53% of We The People is afraid of him?
LMAO! My sides are splitting and snot is coming out of my nose! Oh, ow, my tummy hurts. Delusion, thy name is Limbaugh.
Hey, we are not living in medieval period, when fear was a tool of politics. President Obama is trying to relate the American peoples' dream with the reality and creativity with the self-confidence, not with the politics of fear. When these few will understand, this is the age of mutual respect, creativity, self-confidence, and unified efforts.
However, let them live in their fictitious and fearful world. We shall go forward for the better future.
Rush is suffering from illusions of grandeur!
I'm sure President Obama is scared of Limbaugh...who is not scared of a lunatic like Limbaugh. This person just wants to ride on with the popularity of President Obama.
Who is Rush Limbaugh?
Rush is on DRUGS again!!! Obviously he is losing his mind.........you do not fear IGNORANCE.
Walter, 20 million listeners? not quite. check those numbers, especially in the coming week's after Arbitron's PPM expands to more markets.
Actually, Rush, we are all a little frightened by you! . It's very common for people to be frightened by "extremists and crazies" From what I can see it's probably a good time for you to get back on your meds. Yep, it's a free country, God Bless America and God Bless our President and yes, God Bless you, you moron!
That's an easy one, Walter.
Idiots like you have nothing to think WITH, so you rely on the likes of Limbaugh.
Rush ROCKS!
Me doth think the Liberals and Dems are protesting too much. Rush must be hitting a nerve!
Saying that you want your president to fail is indirectly stating you want the whole country to fail...good one rush...why would people listen to this man's nonsense?
Oh my gosh, Rush, you are still alive. I thought you dropped deal already. How can you work for satan and sleep at night, oh you are satan. Tell your buddies, Dick, Karl, and Bush, hi for me.
Being afraid of Limbaugh is like being afraid of a slug in your garden. They are annoying pests.
Hundreds of comments and insults about Rush, no factual evidence of racism or stupidity. Left-wing playbook clearly states, when you can't compete in the arena of ideas, just call names! Look at all these posts for you proof.
i don't even like obama as much as everyone else, but he would destroy rush
well anyone with half a black heart would
Why should anyone afraid of an addict like Limbaugh...no way.
Scared Rush is going to eat him, maybe.
Do no thoughtful, principled Conservatives have a radio show?? Do they not get airtime? How come this joker gets to be appointed as the on-air voice of the right??
Couldn't we just stop giving Rush any media attention? If he wants the country to fail, that's his opinion, but giving him national media attention does not help. Absolutely no good can come of it. Obama will never be able to please everyone on every issue, so lets just stop bickering on single issues, and keep an eye on the big picture.
What an idiot this guy is and a drug addict that shouldn't have the platform to put out is hate from. Someone please show him the door and take him off the air
Reading some of these comments, it looks like a lot of the moronic, Kool-Aid drinkin' Obamaniacs mommies gave them their 5 minutes on da compooter tonight. Rush. Bad. The Chosen One. Good. LOLF! We have the biggest idiot since Carter running our country. Hang onto your wallets fools, this dude is coming for your $$$$$!
I'm sure a black man who's overcome many odds to become the President in these turbulant times.... a man who has people who hate him because he's American, he's black, and he's the President.... is afraid of a fat white bigot hiding behind the skirts of Lady Liberty and freedom of speech.
Rush needs to get over it. He's a poster child for why this country needs good healthcare and a top-notch education system. And a mama unafraid to box his ears! Isn't he lucky to have a President who swore to uphold the constitution that gives him the freedom to spout such rubbish?
Rush calls it like it is! Sorry the liberals don't like it! They'll have a RUDE awakening in about six months.
You know, Rush couldn't ever hold down a job until he got one where he spouted his mouth off constantly. I used to listen to him religiously and then I woke up in life. When I woke up, I realized Rush was a lot of hot air with little substance. I hope Rush fails! For the life of me, I don't understand Rush anymore. He's lost it! We've got a country that needs immediate help and by him blowing his mouth off like he does, he's not helping. He's adding to the problem.
Shut Up. You are not the radio and political god!
As a independent I must state that I agree with Rush that Obama is frightened of him. With that said, I believe it's safe to say that on November 4th 53 percent of Americans stated with their votes that they to are frightened of Rush and those that agree his philosophy of running the government.
I wonder if the little boys at the 'tours' Rush goes on get scared when they see him?
WALTER,
CONSERVATIVES WOULD BE ENTERTAINED WATCHING PAIN DRY IF IT WOULD SPOUT MORONIC CHATTER!
Let him talk. Like Sarah Palin, his extremism only serves to demonstrate the intellectual joke that is American conservatism.
Most of those soooo afraid of "socialism" don't even know the meaning of socialism. It's so funny to ask someone what is socialism? and they give all sort of answers, no one knows. Fear usually lives in the minds of the illiterate. So, educate yourselves, be curious, read so you can have an educated opinnion and quit repeating what others fear. As far as Rush, what is it, a person or an illness?
Rush, sounds like you need to lay off the Oxycontin...again.
Awww, maybe he should get back on those drugs he was busted for.....then, maybe he'll "mellow-out".
I don't listen to junkies Mr. Limbaugh. Enjoy your pills.
The reason his show is listened to by so many is that he is a sensationalist who keeps people coming back with his shock tactics.
lol Brian beat me to it!
why do people even listen to this stupid narrow minded druggie. He is a liar and doesnt care one bit about this country, only his own checking acct. Just turn him off!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hilarious how this slob really believes he is some how significant. Get over yourself Rush. America is wide awake.
Rush,
Take an oxycondin and call me in the morning.....
Rush is a fat old sissy man
Rush Limbaugh The pills are really getting to you Bud Limbaugh do the country a favor and od somewhere! Obama scared of him Laughable I guess his ego is as fat as his body!
Rush needs to get off the pillsl and then go back to rehab where MAYBE he can rejoin the rest of us in the real world. Nobody is afraid of that fat boy, ceertainly not the Prez..
Can we not get rid of this Plump, Self-Professed-Important....
Jerk?
So he wants Obama to fail. He doesn't care if million lost their jobs or U. S. economy goes down the tube. Why would anybody listen to this fatso is beyond me.
Everyone is scared of a frigging lunatic who thinks he matters
Rush- you are a joke, but not even a funny joke; what a waste of airtime. Wait, no what a waste of air period.
Limbaugh is an unpatriotic blow-hard, that cares more about the access to power he had with Bush/Cheney than this country. Often times what you say says a lot about you and in Limbaugh's case it has just confirmed what I have known all along. He is a sad case, for sure.
LOL!!! Thuggery...
Was Obama really warning them not to listen to him? He said they can't JUST listen to him and get anything done.
He's just saying the most "controversial" thing he thinks he can say right now for attention and publicity. He's desperate for both since the Republicans (or at least Republicans like him) keep fading away. Just another sad attempt to remain relevant.
Well we see some haters out their we are use to it! I am glad that President Obama knows his stuff and no one can touch hims suck it up and hush Yall!!!
Why do you think they call him Rush? Back on the hooch huh fat guy?
At the risk of sounding cold, Rush is an ice hole.
Limbaugh,
President Obama can take care of himself.
Here's my concern.
More, and more fans of your ilk are calling your counterparts to express their grief over day to day events as if you, and yours have validity to your mis-opinions. One caller expressed suicidal thoughts. Another expressed depression due to being fired today [01/26/2009]. If you, and your ilk continue in this vein irreparable harm could be done to many of your fans. And, how will you defend the rants of negativity if challenged in a court of law? We are all living on hope. Help those who need encouragement in these dire economic times.

President Obama has made one mistake since he took office: noticing that this fat, foulmouthed, pill-popping cretan exists. Actually I hope that the right wing loonies DO continue to pay attention to Rush. The more they follow his thinking, the more irrelevant they will seem to everyone else...who is, how do I put it? Normal? Rational?
7 words: Rush Limbaugh is a Big Fat Idiot.
(Which also happens to be a book by Senator Al Franken.)
Limbaugh says these ridiculous things because it gets people talking and listening to his station. He is the political Howard Stern. "What is he going to say next". Sound familiar? If people ignore this clown then he will go away. For him to actually want Obama to fail is for him to want this country to drown in the issues that are already plaguing it. Maybe that can be considered treason and instead of him being sent to a deserted island he can be shot. Thoughts?
You losers need to learn to use "spell-check". You speak of Rush being a "divider" & a "racist". What about a president who thinks it's humorous to have a preacher at his inauguration who tells whites to "embrace what is right" ??
No one is afraid of you, Limbaugh. You must have taken one too many pills again.
Limbaugh is delusional. Everything he stands for has been discredited in the past few months. He was fortunate that Bill Clinton had enough foibles and failings that he could stay relevant, but this Barack Obama could be the knockout blow that casts El Rushbo to the scrapheap of history.
If the Republicans ever hope to be electorally relevant again, they need to take the party in a very different direction. If they want to succeed, they would veer as far away from Limbaugh-ism as possible.
Limbaugh is a pig......I apologize, that would be a dishonor to all the pigs in the world. He's just a swine.
Rush LIMPbaugh is just a very angry person. If I had to pop pills to be a man, I would be very angry also. 20 million conservative people listening to every word this drug [prescription pill ] addict says... Quite funny
Why is it again, that a "junkie" is so self-righteous?
If I were President Obama not only would I not comment on anything Limbaugh has to say, I would strongly recommend that no member of my staff responds to anything he says as well. I would not give this racist, drug addict, wack job of an SOB the time of day. He is such a joke!!
Oh please this man failed out of college in his first year at a directional school (Southeast Missouri State). He has no credibility on any issue and it says so much about conservatives that a flunky is the primary feeder of their silly ideas/
First we had Operation Chaos. Now what is this, Operation Desperation?
"Rush Limbaugh : Largest talk show audience with 20 million listeners and growing!! How do you Libs explain that???"
Answer: We libs listen to it for fun. Just like we read Bill O'Reilly and Ann Coulter. They are amusing characters and when we turn off our brains they can be quite funny.
Let the history books decide who failed, Oh I'm sorry Limbaugh who?
Re: Steve NJ
Well, I must say that I am glad you have begun to pay attention, even though it appears to be your first go at it, due to grammatical evidence.
However, your very dear George W. was the one (along with the equally worthless Democratic Congress and Senate) that pretty much set the takeover of the banks in motion. Republicans have never acted so socialist as they have in the last six months. I would jump beyond that to totalitarianism. (look at Russia, run by scumbags, kind of like our own country. Money now rules the world-and there are a few people hording most of that money, and trying to make sure it stays that way.) Socialism is dead, for the most part. But, money walks, and people like Rush talk.
Oh, and Steve, I wouldn't tell people that you "don't think you are racist." You should know better than to say that. Everybody and their dog knows what prejudices that they have. When you say you "think you are not" you are opening the door to actually being one without admitting it.
Rush Limbaugh- if you read this, (and I think you are self absorbed enough to seek out as much info about yourself to do it), for God's sake, think of your parents! My mother used to babysit you and tells stories of what fine people your parents were. Your delusional ramblings discredit your family as well as your country not to mention driving away disgusted conservatives. When I see stories like this, I think of the photo my mom has of you at 4 years old, wearing a scarf on your head and holding a doll! If it wouldn't inflate you're ego more, I'd probably even post it. The irony of it always makes me laugh!
Keep up the good work Rush. I love ya! Some can't stand hearing the truth and especially when it makes their obamanation look like a rookie.
Believe me when I say that there are devils here on earth, Limbaugh is one of them. He's constantly spewing his venom. Poisoning the air waves. the envoirment, and all that is good. Obama have nothing to be afraid of, after all OBAMA is President of the United States, Limbaugh is just an idiot with a microphone.
Most of you just don't get it.
Since when does a president "warn" congress about listening to someone?
Bush never told people they couldn't listen to Air America.
What is Obama threatening to do?
Maybe Obama should put together a sound argument for his position and persuade congress rather then attempting to silence opposition.
Affraid of Limbaugh? The only person Limbaugh ever frightened was his illegal alien houskeeper. He forced her to get drugs for him. Limbaugh, you are a disgusting fat pig. Your sole motovation is publicity so you can keep feeding yourself Vicodin and cheeseburgers. Keep flapin' your fat lips Limbaugh. It's the best thing you can do for the democratic party. "Let him rave so that all will know him insane."
Afraid of Limbaugh? The great windbag of the right? The drug abuser who should have been jailed, but was protected by his friends in government? That Limbaugh? You’ve got to be kidding. A small rabbit wouldn’t be afraid of Rush. Why anyone who has two operating brain cells would pay attention to that over-rated moron is beyond me.
Limbaugh is a discredited hypocrital attention monger, packed full of hostility. I seriously doubt anyone is afraid of anything he has to say least of all President Obama. Limbaugh has a highly inflated sense of his own importance.
With 2000 radio stations and no "Fairness Doctrine", this is what it's all come down to...guys like Rush and John McCain just can't come to grips with the fact that the Reagan Era is finally over! He needs to go the way of Reagan...just go away!
So you got picked on a lot in school...
Let it go Rush You've got your Mansion so just let it go!
No Free speach, deport people you don't like. Nasty name calling.
( only thugs could come up with the names used here to discribe rush)My bet is 90% never even have listened to him.Russ did drugs like 10 years ago,but vote in a guy that was found with bribe money in his freezer (thats ok).I don't listen to chris mathew and I don't spend all my time hating him,my tv has a Channel changer.
Limbaugh – HORRIBLE FOR AMERICA AND ALL THAT WE STAND FOR
Limbaugh needs to be arrested for attemp to recrute people for terrorism. People listen , you keep listening to this creature, it promotes hatred, people start hurting others, that is TERRORISM and guest what , what goes around comes around. Don't start counting your blessings because there are no blessings to count. You wonder why your life is falling apart, your prayers fall on death ears, God can't hear you. 20 million Limbaugh listeners? wow !!! 20 million terrorist !!!
Its funny that liberals think drugs are OK unless Rush Libaugh or Cindy McCain take them. Its cool Obama did ya know. Looking at the comments here they attack a man for his weight. wow- I think most of us got past that in Kindergarten. No I know what they did with all those kids who got held back- they became liberal trolls and hang out right here on CNN. Here's to you guys!!!!! Cheers!
Rush Limbaugh has too much fat and not nearly enough brains!
Rush obviously has another drug problem which probably leaves him impotent leaving him dillusional!
Clearly Rush has had one too many percocets . He should really read about the side effects.
Rush is the biggest idiot out there! Just like Ann Coulter!! In order to make money they have to keep themselves in the public eye. Please, if no one listens to him maybe he can get his big behind to the gym!!!
walter January 26th, 2009 8:58 pm ET
Right Walter, thats why the GOP is in control, having done so well in the last 2 elections, and their ranks are growing! Explain that!
Rush is nothing but a big hot air bag.. I can't anyone listens to this joker!!
You should report on Rush's bipartisan plan for addressing the recession. That's the real news that came from his show today, not that he said Obama is afraid of him. He called for splitting the TARP TARP $$ 54/46%, the way the popular vote broke in the election. Democrats use 54% their way to help the ecomomy and Republicans use 46% their way.
Please folks, just ignore the drug addict!!!!
OHHH... RUSH.... BRRRR... YOU ARE SOOO SCARY! *lol*
Limbaugh.......you are a pathetic piece of non important trash
Given the challenges that we face for you to DARE to hope that President Obama fails show that you are still under the infulence of drugs...............We need to boycot anything that Limbaugh says .....In the words of the next Senator frmo Minnesota......RUSH LIMGAUGH IS A BIG FAT IDIOT..........................
I feel sad for anyone that supports Rush and his views.
This man is really full of hate and prejudice.
I don't even consider the vile rhetoric entertainment.
I hope that one day this man will just go away or open his heart and mind.
I do not want the President, his policies or this country to fail. It will take more understanding and tolerance from all of us, to get on the better side of our current crisis'.
Rush...he scares me.
Rush's listeners couldn't come up with an original thought if they tried, so they just listen wrong. That's why President Obama won in such a big way.
Rush Limbaugh is a mocker and a blasphemer. He wasn't brought up with good manners or faith. I cringe every time I hear him. I know he doesn' sleep well at night after a day on the radio. He is constantly having to make up some angle from the news he reads and comments on. What is the last book he read? I understand how people could revere this type of person. People that do parrot his exact divisve diatribes are not thinking for themselves.His show is way past being entertainment folks. I read this quote by Shakespere..."Rubbing the poor itch of your opinion, make yourselves scabs. He is scared of himself.
Limbaugh, you are lucky. America is the only place that would allow a jerk like you to exist. Crawl back into the sewer from whence you came.
I've seen this before...anything liberals are afraid of, they talk mess about. They don't seem to want anyone with a mind of their own. And these are the same people who scream about freedom of speech. It's okay for them to call Rush a "moron" but say the same thing about Obama or any other lib "fave" and see what happens. The hypocracy has got to stop. It's completely anti-American. Freedom of speech is for everyone, whether you libs like whats being said or not. Looks like Obama can't handle the truth, huh?
Obama's 'scared' of Limbaugh the same way I'm 'scared' of deliberately stepping barefoot in used cat litter. It's not fear, it's the very human reaction of disgust. Talk about full of himself.....
"Largest talk show audience with 20 million listeners and growing!! How do you Libs explain that???"
Explanation: There are far many more moronic idiots in America than anyone previously thought.
Hate breeds hate, even if that hate makes no sense to the normal caring people out there. Limbaugh knows no other way to live. President Obama afraid of him? I dont think so, I feel sorry for him, he will never be able to positively influence anyone in his life. Wow, can you imagine how he felt when he saw the inauguration and all the positive feedback. I, for one, don't want to go down to his level, no wasting hate on him, not worth it.
What a ridiculous human being Limbaugh has become.
I cannot decide who is crazier, Limbaugh or Blagojevich!
limbaugh and anyone who listens/agrees with him are nothing more than goofball idiots! it is truly unbelievable that so called intellegent
people listen to this clown!
come on people-no matter what party you support -this country has
got to get moving in the right direction-fast!
by the way,limbaugh-i doubt very seriously that the president is afraid
of a person like you! you can not intimidate a flea!
So the big fat liar is also a moron. Shocker.
In ref to comment by "walter" – Rush Limbaugh : Largest talk show audience with 20 million listeners and growing!! How do you Libs explain that???
**********
Those same 20+million people believe that Elvis is still alive
Limbaugh is such a loser. The comment that he wants Obama to fail is purely for his ratings. I think Rush senses that he is irrelevent and so now has to make nasty comments to get some press and convince everyone that he is still around. I don't think we as a people should ever hope that our elected officials fail. Limbaugh is beyond grotesque.
The era of divided is over... Mr. Limbaugh is taking a lonely road toward his grave.
Yeah, you're a freakin' Jerk, that's why. Thank goodness he won't wast his/our time like I am right now responding to this ridiculousness.
Rush doesn't wish Obama to fail, he knows he is going to fail because he is playing with the big boys now.
If I want the opinion of a drug addict, I will go to Keith Richard's web site. This wind bag is dead in the water. The ground has shifted under his feet and he is totally unaware. He is even less relevant than Karl Rove.
It is evident that Mr. Limbaugh does not want the country to succeed either!
This is your brain>>> Limbaugh is your brain on Oxycontin......
If I were President Obama, I would not respond to any of Limbaugh's comments and I would strongly recommend that no member of my administration respond to any of his comments as well. I simply would not waste any time or energy on this racist, drug addict, wack job of an individual. What a joke!!
My problem with this is why is the President if the US adressing citizens directly?if he wants to keep the spirit of bipartisanship he should of addressed the right wing nut jobs and the left wing nut jobs I have seen an equql amount of most on these blogs and on talk radio, both sides need to be addressed, you personalize it when you single out one individual, that is very un presidential.
Rush Limbaugh is an over-paid, over-rated egomaniac. He gets paid millions of dollars to spew his opinionated crap. He should run for president since he seems to have all the answers. Fat Rush and Little Hannity should run in 2012. We can call it the Egomaniac, Know-it-All ticket. They can hire Caribou Barbie to hold their signs and wink at the crowds. "Yeah, Ya Betcha!"
He needs to get a life. I don't think Obama can do any worse than Bush. That's why this world is so messed up now. I don't think Obama is afraid of him, he just does not have time to listen to a man that ignorant.
Why doesn't this fat pig just shut up and stick to what he knows best...Taking pills...
What is frightening is that there are so many people out there who are gullible enough to listen to and believe this obnoxious windbag... what a scumbag... he preys on the uneducated people out there who cannot think for themselves.. they are sheep waiting to be led over the nearest cliff by a smooth talking politician or fanatical religious leader... and Limbaugh? He is more than happy to accommodate them! In fact, happy to... he is getting rich doing so!
"Largest talk show audience with 20 million listeners and growing!! How do you Libs explain that???"
Lots and lots of stupid people.
That was easy.
Why must you give Lush Rum-ball any print? This idiot is responsible for hatred in the country then Bush!
Limbaugh is indeed a bg fat idiot.
Barking fat dog..nothing to do..eat bark ! eat bark !!! ..
Obama: educated, obviously intelligent, newly elected leader of our beautiful country who is loved, supported and followed by a sweeping majority of America and the rest of the world.
Lim-boo: fat-mouthed airbag whose significance faded long before Obama's campaign began, both within his party and beyond.
Come now, Rush. Are you serious, or are you still experiencing the side effects from all those prescription meds? Nobody cares what you think.
Limbaugh sounds more like he's fighting to stay relevant. Wake me when the show's over.
Limbaugh is a colossal POS and a waste of air space.
To my recollection, Obama is the first sitting President to:
1. Publicly attack a private citizen (Rush) for simply voicing his views. First Amendment, anyone?
2. Dictate to the public who they should and should not listen to. "Stop listening to Limbaugh" (and by extension, all conservative voices), he commands.
After this, that so-called "Fairness Doctrine" is going to look mighty Gestapo-esque.
Who is this Rush Limbaugh?
Limbaugh, now that is someone I trust! Let me see, which university did he graduate from? Just what this country needs, more of the same, a clown with a microphone. I suppose his high school education can save this country? Didn't think so!
Coming from a rep who voted dem this year Get a life Limberger! Your name should not even be mentioned in the same sentence as Obama. In 50 years no one will even know who you were ( were you ever someone?) Obama will be in history books till the end of time!
Rush needs to do himself a favor and check into a long term mental health facility
i thinkkkkkk he might have voted for mccain.... NOTTTT sure...
Rush Limbaugh's influence is clearly not what he'd like it to be–Obama has an 80% approval rating. Rush's bombastic swipes are an attempt to get attention for his waning cause. Obama is unlikely to sustain this kind of approval rating, but it appears that the conservative era may be coming to an end and that America's government is being returned to its people.
I must admit I AM afraid of Rush Limbaugh because he's infecting the minds of some real wingnuts with his egotistical blather. He's such an obnoxious joke!!
AWWWWW SHUT UP!
As far as Rush is concerned, I don't give him any attention, and that includes the time of day. As far as I know, he is still a coke head, and needs to get off the drugs.
What's this? Oooooohhhh!!! I know!!! An irrelevant voice echoing from the those dark days of the past...... Sad really.
Yes, I believe Obama is right about this guy and I can careless about Rush also. It sad to say you hate someone but I hate Rush.
People still listen to this jerk? Scary! What kind of self-serving person would actually want their country to fail. Sounds like a hater to me. He needs to be shipped off to a deserted island with Ann Coulter. Let them cackle at each other.
walter January 26th, 2009 8:58 pm ET
Rush Limbaugh : Largest talk show audience with 20 million listeners and growing!! How do you Libs explain that???
-----------
They can't - they just salivate and hyperventilate and keep drinking the Kool-Aid. How sad!
Obviously Limbaugh is scared he is becoming completely irrelevant. He knows saying outrageous things; especially about the President will get him a day or two of press time. Eventually he will crawl back in his hole, pop some pills and continue inhaling his cigar through his rec** before he puts it in his mouth.
If former President Bush told the democrats that they should not listen to Rachel Maddow what would you say? Hateful things! King Obama does it and people think it a great thing. It's a double standard.
Rush Limbaugh LIES regularly on his show.
If you listen to Limbaugh and take him serioiusly then
you are seriously deluded.
Rush – you're either for America or against it. And from the sounds of it, it isn't the former. You sound just like someone who could care less about the little guy on who's back you walk upon constantly with your "you guys" talk as if you're immune to it. What a biggot you are!
President Obama afraid of Rush L.? Yeah, right. Rush is a media moron who panders to the illiterate. Good luck, Rush.
I think Rush is forgetting who has become the president and is instead being color blind. He is juding based on the color of the skin and not on the content of the character.
And if Rush really wants Obama to fail then that means that the country would fail too.
So does Rush really love America or does he hate who is president so much that he wants the USA to fail?
Hypocrite Dumbaugh. Go pop some more pills, ya moron!
Well I guess, Mr.Rush is the dumb cheerleader for the failed republicans.I am NOT an American and I dont live in America,but I want this government to succeed,NOT because I support OBAMA.I just simply want my job back and America`s economy is a driving factor for that.No country in the modern history has got so much wealth and power that it affects people who dont even want to relate to it remotely.I like Americans but I dont like the mindless American policies that affects the rest of the world. Peace out.
GO LIMBAUGH!!! I LOVE IT!!! IT IS SO TRUE THAT HE IS SCARED OF YOU!!!! IF HE CANT HANDLE THIS THEN HOW CAN HE HANDLE TO RUN THIS GREAT NATION. OH WHAT A MESS OBAMA IS GOING TO MAKE. AND YES HE WILL FAIL. IT HAS ALREADY STARTED. WHERE IS MY STIMULUS CHECK? I STILL HAVENT GOTTEN IT...HAS ANYONE ELSE? LOL ......KEEP TALKING LIMBAUGH!!!!!
Why post it?
Because maybe "WE" as a group might just write, call, email, or boycott the station that airs this freak-show, and his advertisers????
NO?
I can't believe they still call Limbaugh a "CONSERVATIVE" with all the drugs he's being hooked on and had to get into recovery for.. no wander all the crap he is talking, like if the president needs to be afraid of a crap talking drug addict.. Go do some more rehab RUSH.
Limbaugh spews evil and hatred.
I didn't HOPE that Bush would fail; he just did. I wish CNN would stop wasting our time reporting on idiots like Rush Limbaugh and that vicious, brainless Ann Coulter.
Rush Limbaugh is an absolute jerk. Can there be any doubt that an attitude such as his is the main reason why the country is in such a mess, morally as well as economically. I cannot believe such a cretin is listened to by so many people. Just goes to show you how many morons people the USA!
Save the planet!
I never knew Rush was a comedian in addition to being a bloated has-been radio jockey. I didn't even know Rush was still alive, he's like a turd that won't flush! Go away Rush, get back in your time machine and return to your Nazi brethren.
Limbaugh is just grabbing at straws and trying to rally the 5 extreme conservatives left in his dwindling outdated party!
I don't know what's more surprising...people who listen to Rush or people who still listen to AM radio.
He just likes to hear himself talk that's all folks. He's nothing but hot air.
Told ya Stop swallowing these pills and get a life
Walter, It's easy to explain! Rush Limbaugh's followers don't care about the facts. Please, sir – listen to 1 hour of Rush and then fact check his numbers, his comments he says other people said, etc. It's about 40% true! It's like Karl Rove said, "Americans, if doing well, will always vote Republican... unless they are educated."
Looks like Rush is running scared. With a true "unifier" like our new president, the hate mongers will lose their audience (hopefully.)
Limbaugh is a big fat, loud mouthed, pill poppin druggie who should be behind bars!!
Limbaugh id full of HOT AIR!!!!He has nothing better to do than to tear people down.Now I know why as a Republican I voted for OBAMA!!!!
Anne,
I am not a liberal. He said he hopes he fails. If Obama fails right now we all fail. Are you a idiot!. This country is on the verge of disaster. He HATES Obama that much, that he wants his administration to fail. At this time I dont care if Bugs Bunny is in the white house. I want a successfull administration. I need to sale more homes and replinish my 401k. I know, you are to ignorant to understand that!
Hey Rush the only thing the President of the United States and Leader of the free world is afraid of is your continued Drug Use and the affect its having on your brain. Well I guess you can call it a brain. Your a complete washed up, has been , IDIOT. I noticed how a few times a week your in the news, sounds to me like your scared and trying to hold on to your job, What are your rating numbers? Idiot
Limbaugh is no loyal American. He is devisive and meanspirited with an ego bigger than him. NO one should pay any attention to someone who has such an evil agenda and who would wish failure on anyone, let alone the President of the United States. Limbaugh is a joke.
What a joke.
Rush needs lay off the crack!
I love the idiots on here that say Rush is not important. He really isn't that important but here is what's REALLY funny. The LIBS LOVE TO BASH HIM AND TALK ABOUT HIM! So knowing this, he must be important to some degree or we wouldn't all be "talking" about him now, would we?
Blessed are those that go in circles, for they shall be known as big wheels.
Rush is mad that he is going to be out of a job. So the best way he can do this is by stirring up useless controversy.
Mr. President,
Mute is the best answer.
Rush Limbaugh is a dieing breed in the U.S. an his follower.
OBAMA SAY THESE WORDS GET THEE BEHIND ME SATAN!!!!!! THEN HE WILL GO AWAY!!!
Every time Rush Limbaugh blurts out something out of his mouth, he make a fool out of himself. He is like a 20 year old disillusioned dog that keeps barking and gets annoyed that nobody is taking it seriously anymore...
This guy is a stone cold Racist. Honestly anybody who agrees with his views are crazy. In a time like this, with a economy on the verge of total meltdown, everyone reagardless of who you voted for should be behind this President. After 8 years of division and complete ignorance by the previous administration, President Obama cannot do any worse. Idiot, thats all I have to say about Limbaugh, Idiot!!!
The only person who should be scared of you is "you." If you had the intelligence of President Obama, you wouldn't know what to do with it. We don't expect you to give him a chance, and I doubt he is losing any sleep over it. The only really nice thing is that you are routinely on radio vs. TV. Thus, we only hear your annoying voice and are spared your disgusting face. Maybe you should move to Mexico. We know from only a few years ago of your contacts with that country.
Lemme see I understand this: a bloated, convicted felon drug addict thinks the President of the United States is afraid of him? Hey Rush, do us a favor, *rush* towards Obama in a crowded or empty room so the Secret Service can finally get rid of your oxycontin self-absorbed delusional self. Then we can have another round of parties.
You know who Rush is afraid of: ME!!
By the way, is it true that Rush's oxycontin supplier was Sherri Johnston – Bristol Palin's baby's daddy's momma? Please get these folks on Jerry Springer ASAP! And bring Rush-boy and fellow rehab member Cindy McCain with them!
)
If nothing else, Rush is the poster child representation of the REDs (really expensive dunces).
Nooo..you are afraid of Obama Rush. You are very afraid.
Isn't Rush Limbaugh a drug addict? All his diatribes seem drug addled, and a little cooky. Rush: Lay off the pills, dude
Is there a bigger moron in our country today than Limbaugh? Who else would wish for the president of this country at such juncture in our history to fail? Maybe, just maybe the problems of GOP is that people like him have taken over of once a proud party.
Rush is a god!!!!!!!!! if only Ted Nugent and Rush would run in 2012 there might be a hope to save this country. biraq Insane osama is the beginning of the end for this once great country. As soon as any politician speaks out against him, they will be labeled racists. It will be political suicide to disagree with the president from now on and it's going to be a rough 4-8 years with this nit wit at the wheel. I'm thrilled the smallest percent of the population has one of their own for a president, just wish it would have been someone with a clue and a real grasp on change for the better. I hope he can at least get my real estate value back up, so I can sell out and move to Mexico. Viva la Mexico!!!!!!!!!!
GO LIMBAUGH!! YOU'RE RIGHT ON EVER POINT!! THE LIBS ARE AFRAID OF YOU BECAUSE YOU TELL THE TRUTH. OH COME ON LIBS, ADMIT IT!!
No Rush, maybe the President isn't afraid of you. Maybe he just finds you irrelevant.
What a dis gusting excuse for a man. Limbaugh is re pulsive.
Lexie January 26th, 2009 8:58 pm ET
Oh please! What a pompous blowheart!
----------–
You mean like Obama!?
HAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!! he IS afraid!!! he knows Rush would call him out on all the holes, lies and reverse discrimination that he got elected on!!!!
take that democraps.
why is the most powerful person in the world scared of you again Rush?
Limbaugh is a drug infested clown. He should go somewhere out of the country and never return again. He has serious mental problems, it's unfortunate he's able to get so much attention. Send him over to Iraq to help fight in the war. Maybe he'll come to his senses.
Rush do not fool yourself. you are just vying for attention like a 2 year old. Obama should ignore you and not waste his time.
Good ole Rushy must be on drugs again. That fat, right-wing extremist slob is definitely in love with himself. Sorta reminds ya of Sen. Boehner and his foolish buddies.
We are ALL afraid of Limbaugh! How about finding a lonely atoll (he doesn't even deserve an island) for him and Palin to rule -
If anybody needs to fail right now in this moment in time, it is Rush Limbaugh. Thankfully the day of this kind of rhetoric is done. Rush is a washed up has-been and apparently he knows it. If anybody is frightened of anybody, it sounds like it just might be Rush who is frightened of Obama. He should be, at any rate, because if Obama is successful in bringing our nation together again, then there will be precious few people interested in wallowing in the verbal vomit being spewed by foam-at-the-mouth neoconservatives like Limbaugh.
Rush – should be in jail, and with a new justice department, perhaps he will be – druggie jerk!
>>>> Rush Limbaugh : Largest talk show audience with 20 million listeners and growing!! How do you Libs explain that???
I'd explain it by noting that there's 20 million idiots listening to the radio. Of course there's also over 35 million smokers in the US ... with numbers THAT big, must be the right thing to do LOL!
Rush Limbaugh is a joke. He should be placed in jail for messing up the economy with the Republican Party.
Rush Limbaugh has always been full of himself but up until Bill Clinton became president in 1993 he still had an interesting show and I always loved tuning in to listen to the different topics being discussed.
During the time the Clintons were in the White House Rush Limbaugh became more and more bitter. For some reason he is afraid of Bill and Hillary Clinton and even now as he speaks of them you can hear the frustration and fear in his voice.
It is sad to see how uninteresting his show has become over the years. Once in a while now I will tune into his show, hoping I will hear a spark of how it was in past years, only to turn it off after only a few minutes because it is the same old mess day after day.
If the truth were to come out I think Rush is really afraid of Obama.
Hey liberals, osama obama won the election so why should you be so concerned with RUSH? I forgot, you only want freedom of speech for certain (socialist American haters) citizens. The fact that this "pill popping loser" as so many of these people like to call him and yet he makes national news by a few comments speaks volumes about his influence.
How much change will we see? Who knows, but think back to 2000 and 2004, did any of you want Bush to succeed with ANYTHING? You know the answer to that.
Rush Limbaugh thinks much too much of himself. I cannot bear to listen to anything that he has to say. In my opinion, he is the most hateful, racist person I have ever heard. There is nothing positive that comes out of his mouth.
Why this guy is still even on the air is a true mystery. How about all the pill popping this fool did. Obama is not scared of this guy, this guy isn't even in the same league as Obama. He is just some want to be shock jock that is looking for ratings. How sad is the state of the republican party when people like limbaugh represent their party.
Oh Rush......Please get over yourself.....most of America has...witness the 11/4/08 vote!!!!! You are not that important.
Rush has to go. He is beyond freedom of speech. He attack our president without cause. Calls him a coward and accuses him of being afraid of him. He is worst then Bin Laden. Rush has to go. Rush has to Go! Rush has to Go! He's only going to get worst if no one stop him. Then others will follow.
We should all take comfort in knowing the majority of US citizens stop thinking that people like Rush are important. Thank goodness for free speech and that we are all Americans...even those that are not nice! We should feel sorry for Rush and his followers. They live in a nation where the President's name is Barack H. Obama. Rush has to awake each day knowing that his President is not white. He has to live with the fact that his party of choice was wrong. That has to hurt and make him angry and bitter. You have to love this stuff...this country! Amazing! Barack-on! Let's just pray and laugh at Rush! I know I am>>>>>
Who's Rush Limpbob?
Both Limbaugh and Hannity are nothing but big cowards. They can get behind a microphone and spew their hate but I bet they won't go out in a public group and do it unless it's a room of right wingers. To prove this a few years back when Rush made his stupid comment on Monday Night Football, instead of staying there fighting for what he believed in he tuckd his tail between his legs and ran away. Yet behind the mike he was the big man. I bet even Michelle Obama could whip Limbaugh's behind in a one on one fight. He's a wuss.
yeah, afraid you might eat him
Most minorities are scared of racist bigots
Anyone who loves America is also hoping that Obama fails..........that is, fails in doing the many insane, harmful, and stupid proposals he has made while running for president. (If someone was trying to burn down your house, wouldn't you also hope that they fail.)
Walter .... There is a logical explanation of the 20 million that watch Fox and the Limbaugh show. People LOVE comedy.
People – It is important to understand that Rush is doing in this situation what anyone might do who finds that their opinions, beliefs or philosophy are no longer relevant. He is grasping for straws through the absurdity of his message(s) – anything to "shock and awe" the public in hopes that the limelight will remain on him. In these cases, it is always best just to walk away from such childish behavior – ignore it and he will go away sooner. Again – his message of inciting hate and divisiveness is no longer relevant.
Limpbough is a bloviating gasbag
Obama is scarred of Limbaugh, that makes sense...
Hey Walter there were 125,225,901 votes cast. Who really cares if 20 million outdated Americans listen to Rush Limbaugh. Its called the far right and your becoming less consequential every day. That's how Libs explain it.
I think its time for Limbaugh to dissappear. He should be ashamed of himself for expressing such strong views in wishing Obama failure. I've been Republican all my life and its idiots like him that are killing this party
Obviously, Rush's problems with prescription drugs impacted not only his brain. His ego has also suffered as a result of his dependence on prescription drugs that once gave him the high he craved.
Rush is trying to recreate that high by making remarks like "Obama is frightened of me" it makes Rush feel powerful and important, despite the fact that he is neither powerful or important.
Well you people said it all.
There nothing else to say about the fat addict.(Rush L.)
LIMBAUGH LIVES TO SPEAK HIS OPINIONS!
FREEDOM OF SPEECH
HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA
Let me get this strait: Our new President who is a well conditioned athlete for his age, a first rate intellect who was Editor of the Harvard Law Review, and the most powerful man on the planet.– is afraid of a former drug addicted, bloated, loud-mouthed, knuckle-dragger with a third rate radio show?
HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA
Obi Wan knows the dark side !!! lol He should be freightened of anyone who tells the truth.
Can someone please shut this fat pig up?
This just gets Limbaugh pushed further to the fringe where he belongs
It time for Rush to take UA oh probably doesn't have to with his job.
Limbaugh * Coulter * Hannity
Kinda makes you wish that the female of the species would on occasion eat the big mouth of the litter.
Murf
I hear Rush is a commie
Limbaugh is just another drug-crazed so-called conservative idiot!
Limp-Paw's ego is astounding. This person adds nothing of any value to the world or American society. Of course he doesn't care if the current administration fails he still get his overinflated paycheck from the idiots who employ him. But afte rall everything about him is overinflated.
Don't care that much for obama but I will say this I think the blow hard Limbaugh is the one who is scared. obama seems to have the spine to tell this guy where to get off at and it is about darn time some body did.
Rush does have value. As I went door-to-door campaigning for President Obama, if my energy and enthusiasm flagged, I would turn on Rush and a wonderful infusion of adrenalin pushed me forward. "It's an ill wind(bag) that bloweth no man to good." (Heywood)
Limburger is becoming irrelevant and those who still listen to him are the reasons why this country political system is failing. Although I do owe him gratitude because he is the reason I left the republican party years ago.
Rush, why don't you just go somewhere and "cuddle up" with Sarah Palin??!! You two deserve each other!! If you think President Obama (THAT'S RIGHT!!!.......GET USED TO IT!!!) is scared of you and then to say that you hope that he fails, then you MUST be still taking one of those drugs that you were taking a couple of years ago!!! That just goes to show how MUCH (or in your case, how LITTLE) you care about your country. Because if he fails (which I pray with ALL MY MIGHT that he WILL NOT!!!) then we as a nation will fail (that would include YOU as well "birdbrain")!!! I take it though you've never heard the statement: "It is better to keep silent and thought a fool, than to speak up and remove all doubt." You sir, are the meaning to the phrase "ignorant moron"!!!
I find it funny that most of the people insulting Rush about how "stupid" he is can't seem to spell. LOL.
Hey Walter,
One word...IGNORANCE.
only in his fantasies ... what an idiot!
Rush is a sad joke. Any one who listens, let alone agrees with, him is a dangerous fool.
You want facts? Here's the facts, conservatives:
When Bush took (stole) office in 2001, this country had a SURPLUS. By 2000, the surplus was gone. We now have the highest deficit the U.S. has ever had. Unemployment is the highest in 30 years, and Bush left office with the lowest presidential approval rating EVER. Four months ago people could barely afford to buy gas to go to work. The gas prices suddenly came down during the elections, much to our astonishment – how ironic.
Miraculously, after all the mayhem that's went down during this administration, Nancy Pelosi proclaimed that impeachment is off the table (What? Payoffs?). No one in the administration's had to testify, claiming "executive privilege." This is the first time anyone's ever heard of "executive privilege." My GOD, people!
Someone explain to me how this man isn't at least as crooked as Nixon was. He's used his presidency to further the monetary growth of hundreds of his crony businessmen at the expense of the United States, and you conservatives have the GALL to accuse the Liberals of being un-american. Shame on you.
Lame commente from a lame person.
Rush is in the entertainment business, if you comment on anything he says or does he is getting where he wants to go, funny so many people that consider themselves conservative listen to a drug deal/user on a daily basis on the radio. I mean come on people this guy is so old news, and i am not even a democrat...... Find someone with a good moral image that is a true conservative to be the voice of the Rep., not this guy...
LOL, you got to be kidding me! This lush drank his own kool aid!
Exactly who does this oxycontin moron think he is? If he can do a better job than the elected officials we have in office , why doesn't this Pillsbury dough boy run for office? The Republicans are paying him millions to be the silly hick he is just to keep him off of any Republican ticket as a candidate for any elected office.
Whew, I have finally stopped laughing long enough to finish. President Obama afraid of him? LOL
Hey Lush Dumbaugh, do us all a favor – DON'T REPRODUCE!
Now remember, you are being paid to be the village idiot so you won't attempt a serious run for office on the Republican ticket. Psst, they really don't want you around.
I hope Limbaugh pops so many oxycontins that he will never be able to do his radio show again. The day that there is no more Limbaugh on the airwaves is the day that 90% of all the crap on the airwaves instantly vanishes and becomes a near memory. Oh how I yearn for such a day.
YOU have got to be kidding me. This self serving piece of doo doo thinks way too highly of himself.
Please...gimme a break. The only people afraid of Limbaugh are all you can eat buffets.
I am a lifelong conservative, and Rush does NOT represent me. I have over 20 years of military service, several combat tours, did not vote for Obama. I now support him completely, because he is my president. If he fails, then the United States fails. I will hold President Obama accountable for his mistakes, but I dispise any un-patriotic blowhard like Rush who wishes ill on my country. The man does once had some good comentary on the problems of the Clinton era, but his fame has obviously gone to his head, and he does not represent the views of most conservatives.
When you pull the cover off the fat man you discover a draft dodger, college drop out, drug addict, selfish greedy individual who can not stay married. If the fact that he makes 100 million a year spewing his hate on the air is enough for good people to forget about everything else, we are in far more trouble than we think. This man is a traitor no less than Benedict Arnold, when he says "I hope he faile". If the President fails, then the country will fail. Send Rush to Gitmo and keep the place open.
test
It is pretty simple...
If Obama becomes a transformational President, and creates an ideological shift towards progressive politics, bi-partisanship and unity over division...if this happens, then Rush Limbaugh's career is over......
The only one afraid of ol' Rush is a jelly donut.
Rush should have his picture in the dictionary next to the word idiot.
Can 20,000,000 listeners be wrong? Yes. History has proven time and again that lemmings do exist. Rush is drunk on his own ego. Conservative live in the past. The conservative of today would have been the radical liberal 100 years ago. They just don't want anyone to shake up their world. Barack Obama isn't frightened of Rush. Rush would soil his diapers if he ever got a call from our new president and had to debate him.
Rush loves golfing with big oil executives. He loves slandering people. he loves being a celebrity and a blowhard. The trouble with him, and his followers, is that they are so anti-American.
Finally. CNN responses to Limbaugh reflect the polls.
Nearly 90% of Americans approve Obama, 10% don't.
When Limbaugh is compared to Obama on CNN,
CNN's responders are 9 to 1 for Obama.
However, it is a little scary that even 10% support such a fearmonger as Limbaugh.
Personally, I can't tell when he's on or off his drugs.
Always the same ideological, fear-driven rant.
Why can't he just enjoy the Honeymoon,
And find something nice to say about Obama?
If he did, he might be more credible in his negativity.
rel
Part of what is seriously wrong with this country. That this person has a forum is fine with me, perfectly within the boundaries of the First Amendment. That this person has an audience is what "frightens" me.
walter
How do I explain rush's 20 million listeners. That's easy, out of 300 million people it's easy to find 20 million fools.
Fat, ugly, full of crap and a prescription drug addict. The perfect republican spokesperson? I think so
It seems as though ol Limbaugh fell off the wagon with the prescription pill addiction again...keep listening fair league of ingnorants...I mean, far right conservatives.
Who would care what an oxycontin user has to say about anything! He is irrelevant!
I obviously made that comment based solely on the original article, not on prior responses; that someone would support the significance of views based on audienceship, which isn't necessarily a consistently accurate measure of support (need we reference those who made the opening of Moore's films simply to say that they opposed his positions?) is a rather minimal statement of that position in itself, and further a reliance on false hope rather than the reality that, unlike Bush, Obama won both the popular vote and the electoral college. I've listened to that particular voice of unreason, in the hopes of understanding the perspective of anti-logic and self-supporting ignorance, not to prop the points of view. I AM one of those audience, if only to know enough to say WHY I disagree, aside from not having a white penis and being an intelligent, self-thinking, patriotic American with enough moral fiber to stand up for moral values rather than monetary glorification. Or wait, does that make me a feminazi? Are we still using that word? And wait, is my referencing this only garnering greater power for that which I'm opposing. Thank goodness I'm not a hardline democrat and afraid of offending hardline republicans, because, ultimately, at least from my education, being American means valuing EVERYONE, respecting the rights of everyone, and promoting the belief that individual accomplishment or works, and not the accident of being born with a certain skin color, genitalia, familial belief system, intellectual acumen, sanity, or sexual orientation, is what defines a person.
Ahh, shutcher pie-hole, Limbaugh.
Shut-up Rush and go back to your drug-induced haze. Oh wait, you must be back on the pills to continue being so arrogant. Obama has done more for this country in one week than you have done in your 20+ years on the air. So just shut up you college drop-out, three times divorced, druggie!
People should be scared of you!
Rush is such a boring typical polemicist. Always blabbing about what he thinks is wrong... What exactly are his ideas to help the economy, environment, terror etc.? Oh, wait, he doesn't have any. His only skill is being pseudo-controversial and partially entertaining at both of which he isn't very good. Yeah, he has an audience (it ain't 20 million) of idiots who enjoy lazy thinking and resistance to change. If they keep this up there won't be a Republican party in 20 years.
Mr. Limbaugh is a sad pathetic man who makes a living coming up with wild and provocative comments and lies based on false arguments and information. It is sad that he can con so many people into believing he actually has any substance or merit to his point of view. He is the modern day equivalent of a snake oil salesman. It is also comical to watch how he and Drudge feed off each other and the same distortions. The only thing positive I have to say about him is that he is a master at creating media controversy about nothing.
Uhhhhh! He is scared.....Uhhhhh. Give me a freaking break. Lame
I think Obama is "scared" of Rush like the average person is scared of picking up something from a public toilet when the paper covers dispenser is empty. You have to go but there's no other option. Rush is frightening in that way.
no Rush...you are inconsequential.
Anyone who loves America is also hoping that Obama fails……….that is, fails in doing the many insane, harmful, and stupid proposals he has made while running for president. (If someone was trying to burn down your house, wouldn't you also hope that they fail?)
Lintball has 20 million zombies in his pocket – no surprise – 51 million smooth brains voted for Dubya after he proved his worth in his first four years of failure.
How could Obama could be afraid of someone who is a known
cheater, known drug addict and a known liar. The reality is,
Limbaugh is the one who's jealous in seeing someone he
could never measure up to.
Frightened by? No.
Nauseated by, yes.
It's laughable how badly Rush wants to stay relevant. Obama is so far out of Rush's league, it's an insult to our new president to use their names in the same sentence.
Rush is a symbol of an old, tired, worn out political dogma. Those who wish to put the politics of hate and division behind them would do well to realize that the old tired dogma is all that Rush represents. He claims to love America, but clearly hates Americans. He'd rather see America fail than see Obama be successful.
The Fact is that OBAMA won and All People like this Racist, Immigrant hating, Warmongering Fathead are Ticked that their era has come to an end.
Remember...first and foremost...Rush is an entertainer....he needs to entertain and fire up the listeners. Like Stern or Coulter, it's all about the shock value. He's not part of the "real" America any more.
AHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
I think that Rush has got it backwards. It's HE who is afraid of Obama. That's why he's crying and foamin at the mouth.
Fat boy has been hittin up the medicine cabinet again.
I wish the media would quit mentioning this guy altogether – his paycheck is based on how much far out there crap he can spew everyday. Obviously to keep people listening he has to keep them interested. To keep them interested, he has to get more and more outrageous. Just ignore him and he'll go away, kind of like the kid that always throws the temper tantrum.
Rush needs the FCC to knock on his door and shut off the radio waves. He would rather see this Great Country go to hell, to make a point. People need to shut him out, write to their sponsors and tell them we will not be buying your products because of this un-american, Limbaugh.
No one if affaid of you you stupid fat pig !
get over yourself and so thing constructive and stop making stupid comments
get on a diet and go out and help someone and stop eating no one wants to listen you anymore so keep your fat mouth shut
My ex-husband is a huge fan and supporter of Limbaugh, and thinks he's the only guy in the media who makes sense.
For the official record, my ex-husband is also a medically diagnosed paranoid-schizophrenic.
I'm seein' a correlation between Limbaugh and the type of listener he draws in.
What about rushing Mr. L to Gitmo as long it is still open ...
Rush is to politics what professional wrestling is to sport – a fake spectacle. One of these days the ditto-heads will wake up and realize they've been following and ad campaign. I'm just sorry that the GOP seems to have hitched their wagons to this self-destructive ego-maniac.
When it comes right down to it, this guy is selling ads and saying ANYTHING the can go get you to listen. It's just sad that he sounds so desparate in the process.
Rush you are a terrible man, I can not believe that North America has someone like you who is suppose to represent us. I can only say I am sorry for you and hope that someday you will find peace and love within yourself. Search deep and maybe just maybe you will find the answere
limba'
pt barnum of barnum & baily circus fame said "nobody ever went broke underestimating the american public".
lets see– 20 mil/300 mil= 15% and some of them may vote while the rest sit around and piss and moan.
if they would redirect their contributions to remedial reading for their children it could be an improvement in knowledgeable voters.
If Rush Limbaugh is so GREAT why did the Republicans lose the White House and Congress?
Limbaugh's got a great point. Obama is little but a pretender to the throne and he's shown it by making his own unabashedly partisan stand in attempting to marginalize conservatives in general and Limbaugh in specific.
Let's face it: Obama's doing nothing but trying to pull the age-old partisan trick of "My Way or the Highway." And in trying to demonize Limbaugh, Obama's truly shown what an empty suit he truly is.
I'd be afraid of you too. You constantly lie about stuff you don't have to. Not to mention you're just scary looking period. You really don't frighten people in a fearful manner. I mean all we would have to do to get away from you is run. But your demeanor is scary. Seriously, I highly doupt that the President of the U.S. is afraid of your intelligence or lack thereof. He's got bigger fish to fry. What you have to say means nothing in comparison to what the leader of the free world has to deal with. It's okay though dude, keep thinking you're cool there sweet-meat.
I'm going to tell you like my foot ball coach told me "You can't make chiken salad with chicken shhhhhhhhh. Talk is cheap Limbaugh. Did you ever think that maybe you're not worth his time.
Obama! Obama! Obama!
Rush: 2 million listeners...!!!
Obama 300 Million Listeners and 70 Million Voters..!!! ..Hmm lets see...who should fear Who...Hmm..!!!
I'd be scared of him too. I mean a drug addict on National Radio and TV pretending he knows everything?!
Rush didn't say he wanted Obama to fail. He said if Obama's agenda was moving us closer to Socialism he wants him to fail. CNN is manipulating words to fool those who don't investigate the truth. Watch the interview. CNN is being dishonest which isn't anything new.
Limbaugh is the devil in disguise.
it seems like most of you who are commenting on here have no clue what you are talking about and you are just backing Obama because you believe in him which is your right. However, if you actually listened to what he said or read the dialogue of the conversation you would realize that he said he wanted the socialist ideas to fail. Which if you who are supporting Obama knew anything about the socialist ideas I guarentee you would be agreeing with Rush. He does not want Obama to fail he just doesn't want this country to go socialist. The reason you have the right to say what you want on this page is because this country isn't socialist so start thinking about that.
Scared of you Rush?? You are truly delusional at this point. Ask not what you can do for your country because it would be to keep your pie hole shut while we try to patch the economy. I say we sell tickets to a Rush vs. Olbermann celebrity death match and use the proceeds to fund then next bailout.
Rush ROCKS! Love his totally pro-American commentary. SOMEONE has to call it like it is.
Of course, CNN won't post this!
He's only frightening because others blindly follow him, and many of us see him as merely a hate-monger. Why are there so many haters? He wants Obama to "fail" within the context of socialist ideas, but Business Week has referred to the bailouts that the Bushies put through as "Lemon Socialism." Face it people, all societies have shades of socialism. Pure communism and free market do not exist! Let's get a shade of socialism that benefits more Americans and not the fat cats. May a bad karma Rush puts back come back on him tenfold!
It time to find out who his sponsors are and stop buying their products then Rush will know what real fear is. Get Rid Of This Bum and get some real talk radio host.
Okay, so the story may be old by now but I am not very bugged by Limbaugh. He is like the character Lonesome Road, played by Andy Griffith, the first of this ilk, drunk, or pill high, with his own grandeur of opinion. His hope of our President failing shows Obama has hit a real sore spot for this arm of the 'Publican party. They represent the 17 to 20 percent of those who think Bush was god's prophet and they really lost the election. As long as Limbaugh has so little a minority listening to him he is no threat. Let him think he is someone to fear in his oxycontin haze and Rolls Royce ride. For everyone else it is drugging for him is just, well, hell, no one knows.
As to the personal attacks against him, STOP. It just feeds his ego and that of his ditto heads. He is a professional entertainer and deserves that and nothing else.
He is Hollywood all the way and deserves no more vitriol or oppobrium than that. He celebrates the FIrst Amendment and has a right too. Remember Lonesome Road self-destructed and Limbaugh will also just like his much vaunted ultra-conservative ditto heads.
As it is I want Obama to succeed because he won and Limbauch can't stop the American vision and he knows it. Go, Obama, go. Time for America to advance and no oxycontin narcs are worth paying attention to.
I think "terrified" is more appropriate. But, in true Fidel/Hugo style, Rush will be silenced under this regime.
I think Rush needs to take his meds, his bipolar god complex is so out there. He must still be on drugs. At least Obama quit.
If Limbaugh had any sort of consideration and sympathy for the condition in which our nation is currently finding itself, he would refrain from making comments that divide. 20 million listeners? Take some resposibility. The solution to our problems is not pointing a sour finger, but rather making intelligent observations, commenting and discussing productively.
God Bless America
Last I heard obama was crack addict himself. And for all of you left wing nuts if Rush didn't matter you all really do talk a lot about him. I'm am part of the right wing conspiracy who hopes Obama does fail because the second he took office we became less safe. I also do not want my money to go to some bum who didn't make the right choices and didn't work hard to get it.
one word – TRAITOR ! ! !
We are all frightened of the mentally ill. Limbaugh is the most un-American, treasonous and corrupt human being that I have witnessed in my 60 years on this earth. He should be forgiven because I doubt that he has the mental capacity to comphrehend half of the gibberish he spews. It is the people that listen to him that concern me.
The Left on this post is an extremely hateful group of people. Hateful and poorly informed.
Blogevich and Limbaugh. They'll talk us out of a recession................
Do you actually look around to see the suffering of millions of Americans who lost their homes, jobs, pensions, and everything tthey have worked for all their lives when you wish Americans more failure? How do you live with yourself?
So the President of the United States is afraid of an insect like you? Man, I think you are back on drugs again.
Michael West January 26th, 2009 8:55 pm ET
It amazes me how these pathetic people get behind a mic, gets a platform, and talk as if theyre the baddest thing walking the streets. Place them in the streets and see how bad they are; RUSH, you're a joke !
Oooooh, I thought you were talking about Obamessiah, my bad.
All sarcasm aside, I think Rush Limbaugh should be on terrorist watch list.
"'Tis better to be silent and be thought a fool, than to speak and remove all doubt." –Attributed to Abraham Lincoln
Rush Limbaugh you are bad for America. You are a bad American, and your FAT

GO EAT ANOTHER OXYCONTIN.
"Rush Limbaugh : Largest talk show audience with 20 million listeners and growing!! How do you Libs explain that???"
Pretty simple really, those are the same idiots that gave us W for two terms.
and as a consequence we now have the most liberal government in our countries history. Way to go "ditto heads"
walter January 26th, 2009 8:58 pm ET
Rush Limbaugh : Largest talk show audience with 20 million listeners and growing!! How do you Libs explain that???
===============================
um, that's 20 million of the 50 million that voted for McCain...who lost!
President Barack Obama: Elected President of theUnited States of America – the most powerful country in the world – with 66 million votes and the support of the OTHER 2 BILLION people in the world!!!
Who is paying Limbaugh's salary? Who are the big sponsors of his radio program? These corporations want President Obama to fail.
In case you pin-head liberals didn't get the message, Rush isn't hoping the country fails, he is hoping Obama's socialistic and Marxist policies fail. Though I'm not surprised, if you actually READ something for what it was instead of twisting it around into whatever you want it to say, you might get the picture.
Rush is a brilliant man, and though he has made mistakes, let's not forget the 'brilliant' people your messiah has appointed. Look to your own party and do justice there before you knock Rush of his #1 radio spot
How many dem's/lib's can say that?!
No one is more anti-American than Rush Limbaugh.
Rush, you are nuts! Swallow some more oxycontin!!
The ONLY people afraid of Rush are the folks that own the all you can eat Buffet down the street from his office. He is a pant load, everything he says is bullcrap. Its only a matter of time till he gets thrown off the air, remember the Donovan McNabb racist comments that got him in trouble? He will put his foot in it again. Maybe him and Imus can team up sometime.
RUSH ROCKS!!
cant we all just get along
To hope that the President fails seems to imply that Mr. Limbaugh hopes that the country fails, which seems very unpatriotic at the very least.
I am beginning to think that it is time for all good Americans to put the donky and elephant back in the zoo! We as a people need to be united, and do not need to hear words that belittle our military men and women in uniform; the terrorists must love this guy. I just try to keep in mind that Rush does what he does because it is his JOB. More waves in the water puts more money in his pocket, and he is sloshing his way to the bank. Turn him off. Flush Rush!
"walter January 26th, 2009 8:58 pm ET
Rush Limbaugh : Largest talk show audience with 20 million listeners and growing!! How do you Libs explain that???"
We liberals and conservatives with good, common sense explain it like this: There are 20 million+ individuals (grown ups mind you) who suffer from very low self esteem; lack post high school education; can't read with comprehension so they listen to the radio or watch TV that air programs that appeal to their low intellect. Yep, 20 million+ kool aid drinkers. "Rush says hate; Rush says be fearful; Rush says the world is square". Limbaughtown, USA! LOL
why do we even listen to a man who is a drug addict. what do that tell of people who listen to him...he did say all drug addict should be put into prison...I guess that doesn't apply to him...only in America!!
Let me explain something very simple to the haters blogging out there: stating that millions listen to Limbaugh, guess what , we Libs listen to him too, and while he is slipping and sliding in his seat we laugh at the ridiculous things that are spewing out of his nasty mouth. Half of his audience actually listen to him to be entertained & laugh at him. WE DO not to heil him as our new leader.
Got it!!!!!!!!
Hey Limbaugh, I hear the Bush's have an extra room down in Texas...Get to steppin'!!!! Plenty of beef down there for you to add a few more much needed pounds!!
Limbaugh is out of his mind. The only thing that could shake Obama is the terrible mess that the conservatives with which Limbaugh includes himself have done to our country. He should be deported like all other conservative pieces of trash.
Honest Obe is clueless. What a mess we have gotten ourselves into.
You country cornbread. Don't you know that we fear nothing but God. Your rambling just shows the world what a sorry human being you are. What have you done lately to help out? NOTHING. You only speak hateful and foolish things.
Vengence is mind said the Lord! You had better watch out.
Also, you need to be very careful what you wish for silly because if the President fails – guess what – we all fail – you included.
Have you not learned anything from your ex President Bush?
Hey – be honest Rush – you make all this fuss so people won't think you are mixed but almost everyone is mixed these days and you just might not be as blue blood as you may think or want to be. smile – Now that would be a treat for all.
If Obama and the Obamites aren't actually fearful of Limbaugh, then why such a HARD liberal push to change the existing Constitutional Amendments to limit free speech and restrict and/or remove him – and other conservative talk show hosts – from being able to freely broadcast? THAT, my fellow Americans, IS fear! And, in case anyone has more than a 6th grade education out there, it is also a precursor for worse things to come.
I would be scared of him too, he can't feel pain. Haha
And Rush will be proven correct. NOBAMA will fail. His towering ego will dislodge his menial accomplishments if he has any and he will fail miserably. And then his supporters will sink into despair.
Hey Rush can you say turd sure you can give it a try. Y0U certainly
are one.
Its funny watching you Obama sheep. Rush is a shock jock much like Howard Stern. Why do you care what a radio personality thinks? Hes not in government. He is on the radio. Keep drinking your kool aid sheep.
There is nothing wrong talk like that but you know Limbaugh barking dog is not bite. Next two or three year you are out of job. Why no body will listing to you. Limbaugh be careful what you wish for.grow up. May be you drop out high school from home school.
Walter I will explain it
20 million people are stupid

Oh please! What a pompous blowheart!
-------
You mean like Obama?
why do people even bother to listen to a convicted drug addict...that tells you allot of his listeners.....only in america
afraid of rush limbaugh??? HA HA HAHA HA Truth is, I will bet that he doesn't want to waste time on a negative, egotistical addict that happens to be on a radio show because he forced his way there. Wait, Rush who? Haven't even thought about that show since 2000
Yes – afraid Limbaugh will eat him. I'll listen to Rush as soon as he stops talking with his mouth full.
The only thing afraid of Rush Limbaugh is the buffet at the Mirage in Vegas.
Does anyone actually take this guy seriously anymore. He just signed a deal worth $20 million. He needs to maintain his ratings so baiting the President is not that surprising. What is surprising is that Obama is taking the bait. He is the President and needs to rise above such "childish" behavior.
Re: Rush's 20M listeners. That listener base is 10M brainwashed freaks. The other 10M are rubber neckers tuning in hoping for a train wreck. I'm one of the latter 10M. This guy is interesting to listen to in the same sick way the Hitler must have been in the '30s...
"Tom January 26th, 2009 8:57 pm ET
Obama Voters are racists. They ran Bush out of town and now the black guy gets excuses for this man. He does not even know what he is signing. If Bush did this they would be shouting out loud. Obama does it and he is soooo smart"
Hey Tom, weren't you and Jethro in sixth grade together? Wasn't Jethro the validictorian? LOL
rush limbaugh is one of the most irrelevant voices in american politics that i can think of.he is so biased i dont know why anyone who can think for themselves would ever listen to his hateful and negative diatribes.it is well known that he will not accept phonecalls from dissenting opinions.he should follow king george back to texas and let a more intelligent and honest american finally lead this country back from the abyss that the gop has lead us to.it will take a long time to fix what the criminals in the republican party have done to the constitution.bush and his cabinet are war criminals and need to be brought to justice.i can only figure that limbaugh is still high from oxycontin to still beleive bush's crap.
GO RUSH!!! i agree 100% w/ u! Maybe "obama will get impeached"
president BUSH was awesme! we miss you g.w. bush!
we cant wait till ur GONE obama! u reallyy stink!
heehee, i am sure u all crazy people will say i am childish... but i dont care!
Rush, Stop taking the drugs and join Bush and Cheney in retirement. The country is tired of your load mouth spew.
All I gotta say is the Limbaugh and now Al Queda are having trouble finding fault in Obama. So Limbaugh's and Al Queda's recruitment of evil will dwindle. Finally there is a GOD!
Sounds to me like Rush is back on the OxyContin again.
rush who?
Limbaugh is a whacko, which is one of his favorite words to call others. He must really think he is hot stuff because it is totally laughable that Obama is afraid of HIM!!! It is best not to listen to crackpots like Wimbaugh, misspelling fully intended, because it is healthier to listen to people who are healthier than he is. We get rid of bug, we get rid of germs, we take out the trash, right? So it is best to take out the folks like him, who stink up the place. Anyone who would hope the new President would fail in this economy it telling. Rush Head, and his Ditto Head followers are the very one's who brought this entire mess upon us. He is a sordid joke and I totally recommend that you turn him off for your own health. He is nothing but a whack-job. A total waste.
Dream on, buddy.
Why is this Boy given a platform??????????? whaat a hater he is
get a life Limburger. ps one without proscription drugs.
Too funny–Rush rocks.
I just want to stuff a huge Italian sausage in his ugly mouth so he shuts up...do people actually care about what this tool says? Get a life.
It is amazes me that in this day and time that radio still has Rush on the air. The election clearly showed that the majority of Americans are beyond the likes of Rush, Cheney, Jess Jackson, etc. We are tired of the old way and we are a generation that has moved beyond them. It doesn't matter whether they are right wing or left wing. A new generation of voters has stepped up to make this country and the world a better place. We are not just making change with our votes by also by actions. Look around your towns and cities you will see us – we are the ones making packages for soldiers, we are the ones who are helping clean up neighborhoods, we are the ones volunteering all over communities in this great country. We are not going away – and our generation is done with Rush.
Yes, Limppaw, keep up your mindless, drug-induced jibberish. You alone can ensure another trouncing of the Republicans in 2012. You and Palin are the best things that ever happened to the Democratic Party!!! We REALLY appreciate you! Keep up the great work! Flabby moronic dimwit. You and Billo The Clown should get real jobs sometime. Oh wait, there are no jobs, thanks to your repub foolishness.
Thank god for FREEDOM OF SPEECH in the USA.
The minute you stop posting this idiots rants, the minute the world stops caring. Do us all a favor, let him fade away....................
Hopefully, the new President doesn't even know you're alive. I certainly wrote you off as dead about the neck long ago.
CNN you have done it again! I never thought you would stoop this low, putting this mess on the ticker. This nut is an addict, and should be in prison. Anyone who takes him seriously is a nut as well. People need to concentrate on helping each other through this recesseion and not listen to this mess. This man is a total nutcase.
Ruch Limbaugh is an idiot! Why does anyone listen to his anti-American jibberish?
I, too, am scared of Mr. Limbaugh after hearing his inane comments during and after the President's inaugural speech. Insane people left to freely walk our public streets should scare us all. I probably shouldn't have used the word, too as it seems to indicate I believe Mr. Limbaugh's comment that the President is afraid of him. This I doubt, so let me just say I am scared of Mr. Limbaugh and the idea that people think he speaks truth.
How true! Obama is just TRYING TO ISOLATE CONSERVATIVES! Conservitives unity send the liberal messiah back where he came from, Chicago. lol
Mr. Limbaugh, you are an extremist. Beware of extremists. The GOP is too big for someone like you. I did not vote for Barack Obama but now he is our President and I hope he succeeds. That means we ALL succeed. Understand? Get the point? Or is it that your extremism doesn’t allow you to tell right from wrong?
Rush Limbaugh is an idiotic, drug abuser. His brain chemistry has been altered forever and he cannot think rationally. In other words he brain ids fried. An ego maniac. Is he God for the President to frightened of him. Limbaugh just makes noise to get the attention. people who listen to him do not have any better thing to do with their time. john
Rush is a great entertainer and he sure knows how to "play" his audience of morons.
I still find it hard to believe that Limbaugh is actually paid to sit in front of a microphone and spew that garbage he speaks out of his mouth!
Rush, I'm afraid of you and I'm a Marine who served in Vietnam. I'm afraid of your beliefs and the fact that some radio exec's who want to fill their pockets with money continue to allow you to spread your conveluted logic over the airways. as far as I'm concered you genuenly are a threat to our country.
I'll tell you walter: people are stupid.
Obama knows better than to wrestle with a pig. You both get dirty and the pig enjoys it.
Rush offers no solution. He wants the president to fail. Is this love for country? I think not. I can only hope we will soon stop giving this guy air time to spew his hate.
what a self-important jerk
"walter January 26th, 2009 8:58 pm ET
Rush Limbaugh : Largest talk show audience with 20 million listeners and growing!! How do you Libs explain that???"
All you are implying here is that there are at least 20 million idiots in this country! How dare you, Mr. Walter?
We are struggling right now and we have this idiot wanting the president to fail. This guy is a joke, has always been a joke and it will never change. I cannot believe people still listen to this coward, its unbelievable.
It would seem that if Mr. Limbaugh were ignored, he'd eventually go away. You guys keep him in business. By the way, why does he have so many listeners compared to, say, Air America? I know, everybody that listens to him is a "moron" and the two or three AA radio listeners are enlightened. Remember, free speech.
What's he afraid of? That Rush might fall on him and crush him!!
Libs can explain it, easily. The 20 million and growing are the same people who want things the way they were, after they destroyed what was.
Makes no sense to me why anyone would want to destroy what they love, but then again, more proof why we are where we are today.
You folks don't get it, simple as that. He and his cohearts only laugh at you who listen when they head for the bank. He doesn't give a D for any of you who listen. If you have any sense at all, you would turn the DF off and walk toward something a whole lot better.
You call yourselves DITTO HEADS!!! THINK ABOUT IT if you can.
How sad it is that there are people like Limbaugh who are trying to weaken and destroy our country by dividing it, and even more sad that anyone would listen to him and take him seriously.
All you know is how to divide our country, and you call yourself a patriot. I would love to take you behind the wood shed and teach you a lesson in manners. PUNK!!!
Walter, 20 Million listerners? You must be addicted to the same pain killers as Rush. If he's so great, how come he lasted one day on ESPN?
Limbaugh is a poster child of a right wing ideology that confuses idiocy and mediocrity for par excellence. And the fact that millions actually listen to this man only proves that ignorance seeks its own level.
The man is a blow-hard noise polluter ad nauseam...the "jerry springer" of republican right wingnuts.
What a sad little man that he has to puff himself up & suppose the our new President is fearful of him...
Rush is an idiotic buffoon. Here is a guy who was addicted to "hillbilly heroin" (i.e. oxycontin) and did many illegal things to obtain said drug and he has the nerve to say Obama is afraid of him? Please. Rush, please go away. No one with half a brain could ever take you seriously and you're giving us (intelligent people that want to make this country a better place to live) a major headache!
I used to be a Republican, people like Rush and OReilly have destroyed the Republican party. The party used to try and take the moral high road but now due to the Muckraking of the CONservatitive rock stars like Rush the party of Lincoln is a shell of its former self. To say that is wants the President to fail, to say nothing of claiming he is afraid of almighty RUSH, is not only ludicrous but it is criminal! For crying out loud the country is in serious trouble and we wants our leader to fail in his attempts to try and save us? Its easy to act like a spoiled brat when you have tons of money. Rush you claim to represent the common man but you dont want the common man to have a home or a job [which could very well happen if the President fails to restart the economy]. Also wasnt Rush one of those who called people traitors for not SUPPORTING President Bush about 7 years ago? There is a very good reason why the Republican party lost the last election: the best part of the McCain-Palin team up was Palin was a media Diva... Which is NOT a good thing. Rush please grow up and practice what you preach: Support the President!
Can't you see Rush Limbaugh and Ann Coulter as a couple.....one rotund the other a skeleton.....both egotistical less than intelligent blow hards, talk about an American nightmare.
If Rush Limbaugh wants to see Obama fail and thinks he is scared of him. He must still be on drugs. It's a disgrace that he would like to see our country fail. If Obama fails our country is going to fail. Maybe Rush should try comedy because is a pathetic joke.
Rush Limbaugh is a perfect example of whats wrong with politics in this country.
Obama is 100% right.. NO ONE should listen to this clown.
Mr. Limbaugh... Just go away. And please take Sean Hannity, Bill O'Reilly, and Anne Coulture with you.
Limbaugh sounds desperate to me. He needs to generate controversy to keep his own coffers filled, likely prompted by his agent. After all, that's his living. He's an entertainer. This is hubris to think anybody of importance cares what he says. Obama has a lot more important things to be afraid of than this fool.
It's the likes of people like Limbaugh that make me ashamed to be white. I place him in the same category as what is referred to as "white trash". Had you been a common citizen when you were had your addiction to oxycodene, you should have done time just like the rest of those who got caught. It would do you some good to see how the rest of the world lives behind bars, then perhaps it would knock that chip off your shoulders. What goes around comes around, and you will be knocked to your knees one of these days, but it will be by your own doings and not someone elses.
Rush is one of those cynics that Pres. Obama mentioned in his inauguration address when he told them that the ground has shifted beneath them and they haven't recognized it. Rush needs to get with the program if he cares anything about the country. Or could it be that he is only interested in his ratings
if you say so Rush!
You Democrats are fools and are blindsided by the lies these polititions tell/promise you, but your to stupid to see what is really happening to this great country of ours. Rush points out the obvious and sometimes the truth hurts. You rationalize your own twisted reality on the things that you want to believe as true when it's wrong and you forget when you were wrong about a politition because you can't face the truth, you elected these officials that have put us in this horrible state of recession.. You will have nobody else to blame it on but yourself, oh but you will blame it on everyone else but yourself.
My brother went to high school in Cape Girardeau with this pathetic looser but never said one word about him until one day I asked him what he thought about Rush. He said that Rush was a big loudmouth that made up crap to get peoples attention just like he does nowdays. His grandfather was a great man of the community but he should have stopped the gene mutation from coming along.
It reminds me of the old Emo Philips' line, "I'm a great lover, I bet." If you have to announce that you are good at somethig or, in this case, announce that the Preident is scared of you then it is clear that word are more important then actions to Rush and the true fear is his own fear of a declining number of listeners.
Walter,
We also have a lot of people who watch reality shows like Rock of Love 3 and Real Chance of Love. So, what's your point?
I know.. the left hates hearing Rush. Now you know how I feel with all the Bush-bashing. Blah blah blah.. Bush this.. . Bush-Cheney that. Grow up. Face it, the Lefties don't like anyone speaking unless they agree with them.
Rush doesn't scare me, but he definitely concerns me. Any person who is so blatantly racist that they can't see that they are racist concerns me, and someone like that who has people who will listen to him and take him seriously concerns me alot.
I am glad that the fact that Obama was elected shows that these type of people in America are finally in the minority.
Rush Limbaugh is a big fat idiot who has yet to realize how irrelevant he is.
Rush is very, very manipulative and this is just another of his ploys.
He wants our President to fail. The President that was voted into office by a majority of people. The President who entered office with an approval rating above 80%, which includes Republicans. The President that inspired hope in a time when we have a Economic Hurricane Katrina on our radar screen.
And in this, Rush wants President Obama to fail. If President Obama fails the country fails. We have something very, very serious happening and we don't need to play around. Rush is wealthy. What does he care about me or about anyone making comments here. Nothing.
Rush is one of those people that can't create anyting positive on his own. His power comes from attacking others who are doing their best to make this world better. It's very easy to criticize. It's not easy being the one who takes the risk to step up and takes action.
Why in the world do you even give this nut Limbaugh an additional platform with your coverage? People know he isn't doing any of his talking to make any sense, just to make money for himself, so he talks nonsense all day long. Only the people who listen to him and take him seriously are falling for his con, all the rest of us live in the sane world of reality. Don't put this modern-day radio Barnum in your mix of news, for its not news. It could, however, be considered an item for your "Odd Topics" or, of course, "Humor". However funny his batherings are to those who see through him, I worry about those who take him seriously. Please at least present him in the correct manner or, as he himself might say in the "right light". LOL!
Of course Obama can't unify everyone. It is impossible to unify drug addicts or people who thrive on the fringe.
I thought one of the rules on this section was that you could not attack a persons character!
The trouble with Limbaugh's bloviating is that it is interpreted by many in his audience as a confirmation of their hateful dismissal of the way the citizens of our contry choose to excercise their freedoms. The far right touts the American way of life and the implementation of our constitution in a manner so filled with elitism, racism, misogny and xenophobia that it excludes the majority of people from their rightful pursuits. Afraid of Limbaugh? I think not. Afraid of the simpletons who subscribe to his philosophy? Perhaps...
This is an impressively written story by CNN. It reports the words and facts in the context in which they happened. Plus, there is no extra commentary from some "expert". This is news reporting Great Job! And in the context of the statement, Rush is Right! Why can't Republicans listen to conservative radio? I bet Democrats watch CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, or NBC.
HA HA HA AH AHA HA HA AH HAA!!!!
That's the funniest joke I've heard yet!!!!
Rush is a BIG FAT IDIOT. What a waste of a human. Suck it up big boy your team lost now go cry in a corner.
Rush limbaugh is the most dangerous kind of person. A closed minded idiot with an audience.
"Rush Limbaugh : Largest talk show audience with 20 million listeners and growing!! How do you Libs explain that???"
And you wonder why Republicans lost so badly?
It's finally happened!!
Drug user "Rushed' Limbaugh has begun hallucinating from the overuse of the ILLEGAL drugs that he loves so much, and the drugs may have helped him to reached this empty conclusion.
Uh....Rushy...., didn't he send his poor immigrant housekeeper, outside to pick up his ILLEGAL drugs when his drug dealer "popped" by? If he hasn't got the guts to score his own supply, he'd hardly make anyone afraid...unless.... he was threatening to get someone in his employ deported for being unwilling to be his drug mule.
Rush is a coward. And a clueless clown. What a pity.
I would like more details about how the racist Obama voters, a/k/a the majority, "ran Bush out of town." I thought he was limited to two terms, which he completed.
I do agree, though, a Palin/Limbaugh 2012 ticket would be most desirable.
I did not know who Rush Limbaugh was till Obama mentioned about him last week.
I did google him, and to my surprise, he has a huge base of listeners. Now, I do not think they all are "morons" as some of my fellow bloggers here think.
walter wrote: "Rush Limbaugh : Largest talk show audience with 20 million listeners and growing!! How do you Libs explain that???"
Easy. 20 million idiots.
Well, well, well, the nation's preeminent gasbag has struck again. The gall of this man to say on his radio show that Obama is "arrogant" and then say he has "talent on loan from God". Talk about the pot calling the kettle black. It's an absolute shame that people still tune in to his bogus comments. Let's not forget the credentials this man has: a high shcool diploma and being a former dj on Top 40 radio. Now that's the kind of resume that makes me want to blindly obey his political advice like those conservative sheep that have made him, Bill O'Reilly and any other blowhard a household name.
Irrelevant.
Moderate Republicans won't stay with the GOP if Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Ann Coulter and Michael Savage are the spokespersons for the future of the Republican Party.
The Republican Party is in danger of becoming some Lunatic Fringe Cult – and not a political party.
This man is just a plain idiot, if President Obama is afraid of anything, it is that Limbaugh is breathing everyday. The big fear and insult to people with brains is that there are still people who listen to this fool and believe his world of fantasy. How he keeps his job is totally incomprehensible to anyone with any sense. Those who do listen to him rate a long side rocks in intelligence. Sorry I just insulted rocks!!!!!
IF YOU PUT RUSH LIMBAUGH,GEORGE BUSH,DICK CHENEY , DONALD RUMSFELD AND KARL ROVE ON AN ISLAND ,WHAT WOULD YOU CALL THE GROUP? YOUR ANSWER--DANGEROUS TERRORISTS.
It's finally happened!!

Rush is a coward. And a clueless clown. What a pity.
Rush wants Obama to fail because it's all his career has left since he has been wrong about everything he spews up untill this point. He sure is a Patriot.......Moron would rather Obama fail and the country suffer for the sake of him being right. Rush doesn't care about this country, its all about himself. What a loser.
Does anyone actually take what Limbaugh says seriously? It's people like him that give Americans a bad name.
His sole objective is to further his career, and this back-and-forth between him and Obama and his supporters (aka progressive, rational Americans) is all about making himself and his listeners feel special.
His audience is composed of racists and bigots, and the day he dies the world will be a much better and safer place.
To continue –
...that his need to feel important is so great that he has to claim that the President is afraid. He talks like a young kid, strutting around the playground.
Rush Limbaugh is full of himself and his credibility from my perspective is somewhere between Osama Bin Laden and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Sadly, for many years I actually respected what Rush had to say but now he is a ruse, and vapid in his comments.
Rush, do us all a favor a go away!
Rush Limbaugh is a representative of sick Americans. Its amazing how any broadcasting company with any sound judgement would allow this baffoon any airtime.
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha! Obama scared of Limbaugh?! Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahah! Nobody is scared of Limbaugh except the people who believe his crap and/or have to deal with him on a daily basis.
Rush, do us a favor and please go away!
The libs are sure coming out of the woodwork on this one!
I listen to Rush when I can, partly for entertainment, partly for his commentary on stories that the drive by ignore.
I don't agree with him 100%, but he does have some interesting points on any number of things... I think he want too far in saying he hopes Obama Fails, but I can completely understand why he said it. The sucess of Obama means the triumph of socialism. Instead he could have said he hopes he doesn't succeed. Parsing words? Probably, but still gets the point across.
I just think the Libs are mad because Limbaugh is voicing his dissent - something that wasn't supposed to happen once Obama rook his throne.
Mr. Limbaugh is a perfect example of the evil that plagues this country. He breeds hatred, bigotry, and intolerance – all masked under the thin veil of "conservative values." The truth of the matter is that the ideals he pontificates are (thankfully) the way of the past. A NEW America has spoken...a NEW America which will again be the leader of the world. Mr Limbaugh and his fat, white, rich, lazy followers will be trampled under by progress and success.
Theres no doubt that obama will try to silence you Rush with the Socialist Fairness Doctrine. Comrade, we must have the same amount of time spread equally among liberal and conservative talk shows even if we have to pay for the liberal talk show because no one will advertise on it. Rush, keep doing what you're doing because its guys like you, Dr. Savage, Hannity, Glenn Beck that keep some of us from being Sheeple and not following the feel good touchy feely left that is ruining this country. May God bless you and this country in these dark days ahead. I hope I dont get in trouble for believing in God.
Anyone who says that Obama "doesn't know what he is signing" is an uninformed twit. Everything he's doing now was spelled out in "The Audacity of Hope" and that was authored in 2006. I'm not saying it will work but to say it is being done blindly or without reason is ignorant.
@billy bayou, you seem to enjoy drinking your limbaugh flavored kool aid. What flavor did you have today? Was it "pill popping strawberry", "I flunked out of college lime", or "fat boy grape"? LOL
Don't forget the day Rush said you all tto drink the "special" blend so you all will wake up where you will be free! LOL
For all her shortcomings, at least Sarah Palin has run for office and thereby taken the risk that she would be defeated. And she has had success in elections until her latest run, where she had no national appeal outside the base. But when has Limbaugh ever been willing to run the risk that he would be rejected by the voters? Easy to talk tough and attract fans on the radio. Hundreds of idiots do it every day. Limbaugh is for entertainment purposes only, for those easily satisfied.
Limbaugh – Be part of the solution or get out of the way!!!! Your sniping from the sidelines is of no use here!
I fully expect Limbaugh to be the next fat,white alcoholic bigot to join the Fox News team.You tell 'em Rush.
An individual who believes in his country and loves his nation will put America before party agendas, partisanship, and narrow ideology.
Rush Limbaugh obviously is not such a man.
Rush Limbaugh ain't never run anything but his mouth. He is an authority on nothing and he soils any topic on which he comments. Ignore him – with his extra large ego that's what Rush fears most.
Rush Limbaugh is the biggest idiot i have ever seen, i cant believe people even listen to his show, but he dont care he made $31 million last year, so he just runs his mouth By the way does anyone have some oxycontin
Walter said:

Walter, because conservatives need something to attach themselves to desperately. Despite all the failings of the politics of "heedless self-interest," they look to this man as an icon, yearning for another era of greed, hegemony and irresponsible economics. With the flapping of his gums, Rush triggers the egoist delusion of these 20 million people.
This is one of the more ridiculous statements that this uneducated, idiotic man has made lately. How in the world could he figure that Obama is "frightened" of him? He's just a bully-mouth. If Obama would ever be frightened of someone, it would be someone who matches his intellectual level.
Limbaugh is a coward that should be taken off the air! What the President said obviously put some heat on this blob of humanity with the brain of an ant as he certainly sounded as if in the statement he sent out to CNN he was backtracking on what he said per wanting Obama to fail. He said he didn't say this, which is a lie, he did say it!! Then the man doesn't have the guts to go on Rick Sanchez's show to discuss the matter with him. Again, he's a coward! Of a certainty if President Obama invited this coward for a face to face at the White House he'd likely not go!!! He hides behind that mic on the radio and blows-hard! That's why he screens who can and can't talk to him on the air. That is the only playground where he is safe to be the bully on!

Rush Limbaugh : Largest talk show audience with 20 million listeners and growing!! How do you Libs explain that???
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Whether or not your numbers are accurate, perhaps one reason why Rush Limbaugh enjoys a large audience is because some of his listeners are beginning to realize, in 2009, that there exists a whole world beyond the parking lot of their Wal-Mart and it scares them because they don’t understand it; so Rush offers them an answer.
I am afraid of Rush Limbaugh...I don't blame Obama.
Goog Lord.. His world as he know it is coming to an end......
Mr. Why don't you mix yourself a cocktail with arsenic... I promise it will do you some good. will calm down your nerves.. promise...
"Rush, the only thing scared of you are cheeseburgers" that is funniest I have read on this blog. LMAO
Limbaugh is afraid of the truth. We have a true leader in President Obama and Rush is running out of hot air. Limbaugh take an 8 year vacation. One way ticket.
Rush Limbaugh – Powered by Oxycontin and rage.
Why do you say such idiotic things? Is it to get publicity like Ann Coulter. What are we going to hear next, that the Holocaust didn't happen? You thrive on sowing discord and hatred among the people. SHAME on you and all other such Nazi agitators.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
I needed a good laugh today!
Rush has fooled some of the people all of the time but right now that the sum of that some is less important than in the past which makes his craving for attention even more bizarre. He doesn't know the difference between being marvelous and marble less and he's definitely lost all of his to drugs and delusion.
Please. President Obama is showing more courage addressing our global challenges than Limbaugh could ever understand from his simple mindset of radio partisanship.
I would advise everyone to please watch President Obama's respectful interview with the Arabian community. It is truly inspiring what our new diplomatic leader says.
why wouldn't he be afraid? i've always been afraid of the anti-christ....
Rush who?
I used to watch Limbaugh in the 80's, back then I thought him a comedian. Today Limbaugh is just sad to listen to. I am a republican and in no way does this man (Limbaugh) represent much of anything I hold dear. This has nothing to do with what Obama is trying to accomplish, it has everything to do with a selfish bigot. Oh yea and I'm white.
Rush must be hitting the happy pills heavily now because some of the things that he says is just way out there.
Rush Limbaugh is [still] a big, fat liar!
Linburger is just an entertainer and everyone knows it. He is just a fat version of Ann Coulter. He knows if he does not do the "windbag" thing, he becomes more insignificant than ever. BUT......to wish our President to fail ???? Our President is attempting to bring relief to this country. How would anybody that totes as much Americanism as Linburger wish for failure? For a man that gets paid to talk, he has nothing intelligent to say.
Limbaugh should go back to what he does best...abusing painkillers.
Who is Rush Limbaugh? UVA '06
Fantasy = (Limbaugh's) EGO
Sorry, sweetie. Nothing to be scared of here.
We should all be afraid of him. He's a frickin lunatic.
How sickening. The only thing that people should fear about Rush Limbaugh is whether or not he's going to sit on them...
Mr. Limbaugh is clearly hallucinating on some kind of drugs. Unfortunately, it has come down to personal attacks from him to anybody who is not a republican.
It is a shame that radio stations keep syndicating his show.
Hmmm.
Rush is a perfect example of why some species should, and do eat their young.
It's so that they won't grow up to infect their colony! Too bad he isn't from a species that would have gotten rid of this rotten apple... Clearly, the fatty foods and, the illegal drugs have destroyed his gray matter!
Walter- It's easy to explain. It's a lie, just like everything else you hear on his show. I just spent 2 minutes doing a Google search to find out that his audience was once 20 million but has been on the decline for years. You should question your sources from time to time.
Rush is so anti-American. No sane minded person would hope their government would fail and call veterans who happen to be democrates or independants fakes. As a retired veteran I am insulted that he is given air time and that people listen and believe this venom. If he wants President Obama to fail, he wants America as a whole to fail. We have people who have lost jobs, who are about to loose jobs and there are so called experts who can't even figure out what to do to get our economy back on track. That is what our government needs to concentrate on, not childish people like Rush. He needs to be quiet and pray that hard working Americans can get back to work.
Rush has a huge following because a lot of people want alternatives to the "news" organizations that skew their presentations to left of center political agendas. His popularity will wane when the mainstream news media stops its bias for liberal values and politics.
He already is on one; its called Palm Beach.
The only thing scared of you, Mr. Limbaugh, is a ham sandwich.
AND WHAT IS WRONG WITH SOCIALIZED HEALTH CARE? IDIOTS. YOU THINK HEALTH CARE IN THIS COUNTRY IS SO GREAT AND IF YOU SOCIALIZE IT, IT'S COMMUNISM? MORONS. TOOLS OF THE RIGHT. FOOLS. GO MOVE TO RUSSIA OR CHINA – YOU WILL LOVE THEIR BRANDS OF CAPITALISM.
Go take some more pills, Rush. You're a friggin' moron. NOBODY wants to hear anything you say! JUST GO AWAY...FOR GOOD!!!
What an idiot! The only thing bigger than his ego is his capacity for stupidity!
Who ISN'T afraid of Limbaugh and the garbage he spews? He is terrifying, mostly because he actually believes in the stupid crap he says. The one thing he's good for is a gooooood laugh. Seriously. What a pompous jerk.
There are not enough words for me to show my disdain for this character Rush Limbaugh is divisive and absolutely the last thing anyone should care to listen to in this country especially now. In my eyes, you are the fuel for hatred that could lead weak minded individuals who actually believe what you say to foolish acts of aggression. i believe in freedom of speech of course, but with clear messages. Not one in which shows a hidden agenda beneath it. The world can be a better place based on ground breaking events over the past year. Our president has not even had a chance to prove himself yet and your already riding him. We just finished the term of a president who drove our country to the ground and we are on our knees, and this is who you supported Rush? Says something about your judgement and stubborn nature. In addition Obama is not scared of you, Im sure he is thinking of a way to silence people like you and others who stretch freedom of speech to the realm of hate.
I'll bet the name Limbaugh has not even crossed a single synapse in Obama's brain since Nov. 4th or before
Rush, when are you going to learn that you are nothing to 99.99% of the American populace.
Although Rush has been over the top and trying at times... he is a breath of fresh air after all the leftist lunatics we have to deal with. Obama and his thugs are a disgrace to mankind. No civility.
Rush.. keep it coming.
Americans have better things to do than go NEGATIVE! I agree with the President. Stop Listnening to Satan!!!
Given CNN's multiple mis-characterizations and out-of-context reportilng of Limbaugh in the past, I have difficulty believing this piece. What other reports are skewed?
The way that Rush has been fapping over Barack Obama for the last year and a half? I'm thinking that Rush is more terrified of Obama than Obama could give a crap about him.
The only worry that Obama should have in regards to Mr. Limbaugh is that his constant stream of hot air will radically increase the rate of global warming.
This limbo freak is so racist and so ignorant. I cannot believe anyone would give him the time of day. By the way, I know exactly what his name is. I just think the term limbo is more suitable for someone with his obviously low level of mentality.
rush limbaugh is an idiot
Talking all that crap about the president.... all I have to say is I hope his taxes are intact.
Rush better be scared of Obama. Rush needs to be taken down/off radio - promoting nothing but hate and praying on mental ill people.
Casting aspersions.
Those nasty conservatives!
Rush gets his hook caught.
And the Republican party would still like to know why the voting public kicked them to the curb. With idiots like Limbaugh on their side, you would think they will eventually get the picture. This is a time for unity, not hatred.
If Limbaugh has 20 mil loyal fans, that is terrifying, even for some conservatives. That does not indicate the level of convervative values in this country, it explains alot as to why most so many Americans really are NOT as smart as a 5th grader!
Rush makes me gag...
This drug addict is still on the radio? lol I thought he went away in the 90s. What a joke he is. He'll probably get higher ratings now that their is a democrat in office.
Pitiful, chubby Rush. Little man. Small brain. Loud mouth. Thought we got rid of the likes of him.
Those wondering what happened to the Republican party over the last 2 decades need look no further than this man. The more he talks, the more polite society (and voters) recoil. Funny that the right wing can't see that, isn't it?
I DON'T BLAME HIM, I BLAME THOSE WHO SEND HIM MONEY TO SUPPORT HIS HABITS!
Hey walter... I can't hear you over the sound of your banjo. You heading out Californee-way this sewing season? Da-da-der-der-der-der-der-der-der.
Rush is Right.! Liberals only know how to call names and hurl insults. Just look at these comments here! Liberals are like immature children that have no ability to deal with logic and reason. Liberalism(i.e. Socialism always fails in the end in all of World History because it is based on faulty principles that destroy a society) Rush will get the last laugh! Carry on with your childish insults!
P.S. Obama will greatly disappoint most of you liberals in a year! This will be fun to watch your great liberal disappointment while Obama wrecks the country!
Rush is a good example of a person who talks loud and says nothing.
Who pays to keep this lunatic on the air?
Doesn't he get that everyone is moving on – or at least trying to move on – to a new place in our socio-political dialogue?
George Poole – where exactly is "Kanada"?
God Lord, here we go again, Rush want his President to fail um, only his rich fat can say that which in other word traitor, many American are praying for food and job securities, many losing job, left and right, he doesn't care about Americans but him self.. I never heard him saying I want Bush to fail even with his failed policies, I guess morons listing to him are bird of a fethers.
No, Rush. Obama's not afraid of you. It is, however, just the opposite. You see, you can't even keep up with Obama in a simple statement, which said "people shouldn't just listen to Rush Limbaugh", meaning: people should listen to several sources to gather information in order to make a decision. Had you not flunked out of college, you'd probably be better at reading comprehension and listening. That's also why you keep confusing Centrist policies with Socialism. Yep, we get it now. You've decided to harp on the Socialist idea because you heard your girl and that plumber guy accuse Obama of socialism. Most of us know that you’re hiding behind the socialist agenda theory which is in fact your hooded robe. You may have a sense of humor, and maybe sometimes you might even make sense, but who you really are shines brightly every time you open your trap full of brimstone. The day that you become a faint whisper is soon to come.
Over 500 comments about this article. Rush is loving this.
"Rush Limbaugh : Largest talk show audience with 20 million listeners and growing!! How do you Libs explain that???"
Lots of Americans are really dumb?
Republicans are TERRIFIED that Obama might be a great president. Absolutely terrified.
Walter: what I make of it is that the population of idiots in this country is 20 million and growing.
I do NOT understand why our President would have a debate with a
drug addict. "Windbag" does not have the ability to bring credit to the
Conservative cause. He is a JOKE. He is in love with himself and
understands NOTHING about politics unless his "handlers" give
him the "Bait" to tear down someone at their expense.
I think our new President has greater concerns than Rush!! Yet Rush is only concerned about himself and his ego. Rush wants the President to fail.
This must be the male ann coulter...ugh!
Everytime I read a new report that estimates the mental illnesses rampant in the American people, I count them as probable followers of Rush, the poster boy for psychosis.
rush
get over yourself!!!!! what a laugh that he believes that obama
is afraid of him
people like this dont belong on the air for all they do is spread
inflammation instead of something productive
what an egomaniac
I'm neither Democrat nor Republican I do listen to Rush often along with several other talk show hosts of every party. I don't always agree with him, but so far with Obama he has been dead on. All you people who bash Limbaugh should actually listen to him before you make rash decisions. Most of you people hate the guy because you're told to not because you actually know why you hate him.
Rush is a vile, fat little toad that needs to realize that no one is afraid of him – not his Dominican boy toys nor his drug dealers let alone the most powerful man in the world.
Rush is as obsolete as the GOP!
I don’t care how many ways you look at it, you can’t justify Rush Limbaugh’s words and actions.
Rush… If you are so PATRIOTIC, why don’t you stop picking fights with the President and give us your idea of what plan you think will help our country to succeed.
Why don’t you SHUT UP and PUT UP some action toward a solution. 71,000 jobs were lost TODAY. Unfortunately, YOUR JOB wasn’t one of them.
Since Rush Limbaugh has all of the answers, and is the voice of conservative truth and wisdom, perhaps he should do us all a favor and run for President in 2012.
Rush,
I am not scared of you. You are a blithering idiot.
I don't know why anybody would listen to a guy that was arrested and charged with a drug felony. this guy attacks druggies and then turns around and does the same thing himself.
what an egotistical, self righteous, pompous, piece of crap.
The only one that is afraid of him, looks right at him from a mirror.
he's his own worst enemy
I don't blame This Rush whatever. I blame those who send him donations to keep him on air to be spewing out garbage. What a shame to his mother.
Keep it up Rush!!! You are one compelling reason for people to polarize Americans against the neo-con right-wing zealots . Maybe the Dems should have you on their payroll...LOL.
I think this thing (Limbaugh) is losing contact with reality. If he is such a powerful thing, why don't he stop talking trash and run for president. It'll be funny to see a Joker like him. He is simply a big mouth as Koulter is.
I thank God for RushLimbaugh, because I can look in the mirror and say Thank you God that you made me so much better than him. Rush you'll a prime example of a misfit. If it wasn't for the drugs you wouldn't exist. Dumb Junkie.
What a jerk!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Anyone who would believe this is a complete fool. Of course, fools are the only ones who listen to this pill popping loudmouth...and people wonder why no one wants to vote for the republicans.
Why do people listen to him??? Geez, ignorance is NOT bliss, it only breeds more ignorance.
what true and shining examples of tolerance here
if you don't like Rush, don't listen to what he has to say.
HOW DARE YOU TRY TO SILENCE SOMEONE, simply because they don't agree with you.
HOW DARE YOU.
SHAME ON YOU.
Rush,
You are politically inert as far as I can see. Shut up fat boy and take some pills!
Limbaugh Hannity and O'Rielly are the faces of Republican party.
Not a pretty sight.
Wow. A whole lot of name calling...i guess you have to go on the attack and get nasty when you have failed ideologies and no substance behind the arguments. the nice thing about all of this is you don't have to listen. you can turn it all off and continue to live in your 'i'm smarter than you all and i know what's best for you' world.
Rush Limbaugh : Largest talk show audience with 20 million listeners and growing!! How do you Libs explain that???
20 million, bigoted, backward- thinking, small-minded, not all that bright conservative listeners. That's how!
The one way to shut Rush up is to BOYCOTT his sponsers...simply don't buy anything that sponsers his show..
The other way is to just say NO and turn him off..as I did years ago..
So Rush thinks these policies are bad for the country. And how would he know that? This is like taking anger management courses from WWE wrestlers. Or dieting tips from Sumo wrestlers. Or dieting tips from Rush.
Rush is an entertainer. Not a good entertainer, but an entertainer. His words should not be taken as fact.
As for all you "conservatives" out there – hey, it is someone else's turn to drive. Get in the back seat and shut up so we can steer out of the ditch you got us into.
Pop about a dozen OxyContins, Rush.....please?
No, he's not scared of you Rush... he's scared of how many people listen to you. You pump garbage into their minds...
Why don't you just HUSH Limbaugh
Limbaugh is a coward. His playground to be a bully on is that radio studio he broadcast from while he sits behind that mic, and screens his calls I might add! He said he didn't want President Obama to be successful. The President tells people they should stop paying attention to him. Limbaugh probably started catching heat for it, because he comes out today and attacks Rich Sanchez of CNN saying he didn't say it, though he is on tape with all of America hearing that he did! I mean even if you didn't vote for a President, you shouldn't want him to fail, because that means you in essence want for the country to fail. So Rush probably caught heat for saying that, so today he lies and say that he didn't say it. So not only is he a coward, he is also a lier. The President scared of him? Why would he be?! If he invited Rush to the White House for a sit-down, it is likely that Rush wouldn't show-up, just as he didn't return Sanchez's call today when asked to come on his show for a sit-down!
Ross Lintberger, you're an idiot...blah blah blah...delete!
This guy really has some issues, that's why he abuses drugs like oxycotin, he should just OD on the pills he gots.
Let Limpbough spew his flaccid twaddle to the intellectually stunted lemmings that form his audience. History is full of propagandists ranting about anything they can to induce fear into the weak and unwitting – without any constructive ideas or solutions for what bothers them.
All intelligent Republicans should see Rush as a boil on humanity. They should denounce him. Uh, I do believe there are some intelligent Republicans out there.
Rush Limbaugh is a disgrace. To say that he wants President Obama to fail is saying that he wants America to fail,..us as a nation to fail. As a servicemember in the U.S. military, to me, a president is one that is our Commander-in-Chief, one that leads and we support and follow, regardless of party affiliation if we voted for that individual or not. In this apparent worsening economy, one is either part of the solution or part of the problem. Rush Limbaugh has shown that he is blatantly part of the problem and lacks true patriotism.
Rush Limbaugh is one of the most divisive individuals in America. On a daily basis, his words if acted upon by unknowing individuals would result in civil war. Why do we continue to listen to the sliver of truths that line his outragous and cancerous words?
TO WALTER:
That means that there are 20 million plus narrow-minded idiots who can't figure out that this kind of rhetoric is why the Republicans were hammered in the election.
People who are insecure spend their life cutting others down in order to increase their own self-worth. Rush claims to be a Christian. But the Bible, the standard of right and wrong for Christians, makes it clear to "esteem others better than yourself" and to "speak evil of no man." Rush, like everyone else, your need to grow in grace.
Geez, I guess Hillbilly Heroin really DOES rot your brain
He's afraid you'll sit on him
Rush, GET OVER YOURSELF!!!!!!!!
People are so intimidated by common since ,when the only thing they are capable of understanding is idealistic concepts.
Poor Rush, he's desperate to be relevant, and he's not–at least to anyone who cares about this country.
No doubt. Obama is afraid of his shadow. What a lightweight!
Oprah's 'Chosen Loser!'
Dear Rush,
I am sure your alcohol and drug addled delusions are all very real to you. Why don't you go have another drink, pop another pill and shove a couple dozen more twinkies into your fat mouth.
Most living creatures dread Limbaugh opening his mouth....fearing they may be eaten.
As far as finding him a threat in any other aspect...Limbaugh is a bufoon and clearly he and Blago have delusions of grandeur in common.
I, TOO, AM AFRAID OF DRUG ADDICTS!!!!!!
Glad to see all of the lunatics come out of the wood work from the right and left sides of the country. Rush is a drugged up buffoon, problem is so are most of the people in this country. Anyone wants to see the true failure of this country all they have to do is look in the mirror. The problem isn't Rush or Obama, it's the American people for being blind to what is going on in this country. If you can, imagine what the world will be like in 1000 years, bet you can't. WE ARE ALL SO SELF ABSORBED WE CANNOT SEE 10 YEARS AHEAD. The end is near. Thank god we can turn the lights out on this disaster.
Limbaugh told his sheep that he had "carried water for people who didn't deserve it" and they never figured out that that reflected on Limbaugh's truthfulness and their gullibility.
limbaugh ,you are a disgrace to America....i don,t know if we should feel sorry for you or dislike you immensely.....
you want our president to fail...wow.....how ignorant...
obama afraid of you ..you must be delusional...you need psycotherapy.and not some dope pills
I'll have to find Limbaugh's exact words on the ideas that he wants the new president to fail and that Obama is afraid of him before I judge on those. From what some people who apparently listened have posted, Limbaugh just wants the policies he doesn't agree with to fail. If this is the case, everyone here getting mad shares the exact same opinion: you want policies you don't like to fail. In any case, whatever he meant, there isn't any need to insult him and wish terrible things onto him. All that does is make you look two or three times as immature and hate-filled as you claim he is, and that discredits you.
No need to post all the hate, people. You can disagree with someone and think they went too far without the hate.
Oh no! Rush is going to bring down Obama's presidency just like be brought down Clintons!
Wait a minute...
Never mind, he actually made Clinton more popular. Go for it Rush.
Hey Rush, it sounds like you've forgotten to buy your oxycodone!
you have got to be the most dillusional being i have had the displeasure to hear....you are the main reason i do not listen to public radio, it has proven to be nothing but a money maker for the stations who employee people of your caliber, a pontificating blowhard who is rewarded for your bad behavior and trash talk. obama afraid of you, indeed, what is there to fear? a fat , cigar smoking loud mouth who believes his own drivel; please, keep smoking that nasty cigar and let it do its job...
Anna Smith you and Rush are made of the same cloth.Racist bigots.You both are unpatriotic.. And those that try to defend the pill popping Limbugh he clearly said that he hopes Obama fails and did not say his policies fails.Ann Smith you commented before that you don't like Obama and will never like him....Changing your name with you comments doesn't help your ignorance about a sitting president and now to you Walter just because he have 20 million listners doesn't mean they like him it only means that they like listening to him making a fool out hisself...Oh and Tom the Obama voters didn't run Bush out of town I think his administration and the republican party did a fine job of that themselves even though his term was up ...but guess what I bet he's now living better off than you are and if by chance you do get a stimulus check since you seem to hate Obama so much let's see if maybe you can donate your share to charity or just return to sender because there are people that are more worthy of it than the likes of you all.Also let me be clear to all three of you including Rush..name calling or lack of confidence will not run PRESIDENT OBAMA anywhere so you can suck it up or go straight to H*ll
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAAHHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
and one more thing, President Obama (I love writing that!) and the rest of us should ignore Rush, since he is completely irrelevant.
One more thing,
The dreaded sociallist word. Why isn't it socialist to take so much money from Americans and give it to the military to spend? Why isn't some of that money going to the military being spent to deal with the war on you own country, the gangs that have taken over, for example, areas in and around L.A.? Is it socialist to take money to spend on public schools (not enough)? How about ensuring roadways are improved, infrastructure? Why is it so negative to have a medical system where citizens can be cared for, a system they can use and afford? Millitary spending is okay but spending on the health of one's people isn't? The whole capitalist system is obviously not working when selfish individuals care more for themselves than the good of anyone else – which is rather what Limbaugh is doing – trying to garner yet more attention by trying to undermine Obama. Perhaps labels such as socialism shouldn't be used at all and just good policies implemented that are for the good of society. How sad that such a promising country has been taken down by self absorbed individuals and where the appearance of having money was thought to be the height of success. The whole reverence thing ref. movie stars and famous people is another thing – Good God! If most people were paid a million dollars they could act. At the same time as the Oscars are being held there should be a split screen where those such as doctors who volunteer to help others or anyone doing such good works are named and a number listed for donations – acknowlegement for those who don't garner the attention movie stars do, but should. They should also receive more attention than someone such as Limbaugh.
Rush has not realized that he is completely irrelevant now and is grasping at straws. Wanting the president to fail, means we all fail.
"Rush Limbaugh : Largest talk show audience with 20 million listeners and growing!! How do you Libs explain that???"
In a nation of 300 million + where 15% of the population thinks Obama is somehow a Muslim, and 25% still supported Bush in the dying days of his awful presidency...it's pretty easy to explain.
Limbaugh is the one, constant, bright spot, in an otherwise Liberal,
Radical BHO Administration that is NOT getting off to a great start!
BHO doesn't need the first 100 days to ruin his next four years!
It has only taken LESS than a week!!!
Rush, you wished!! Get a life and shut your mouth!!
Where is freedom of speech, Mr. Obama? Why bother if Limbaugh talks, unless, there are something truth to what the man is saying. This is America land of the free not of communism and dictatorship. Let everyone speak and express opinion.
Something is wrong with this man. Everything he has says is not only scary, but it's sickening. It's scary/sickening because of his reported following who blindly follow him – and those like him.
One of the 4 "loud, not ever letting their guests speak, only one side, nobody else's side is ever reported" reasons I don't watch F*x is because they keep conversing with him as if he's a reliable source, with credibility. Yet, we hear he takes suspicious trips outside the USA, to suspicious seedy juvelent locations. Oh, and he also not only did drugs, but wasn't he getting them illegally? Yet, he's still in the public eye, and he's free to roll about like Mr hot biscuit (didn't he get caught multiple times? wow, in my neighborhood you end up in jail for that).
I didn't vote for Bush, but I sure as heck didn't pray that he failed. what kind of person would want the leader of your country to fail? If your leaders fail, how do you benefit? How does your family, neighbors, friends, etc benefit from that failure???
This man has a suspicious way about him. You see it when he's filling up your screen. And I have a big TV. Now that's scary!!!
Peace.
Obama is the great unifier. You Rush Limbaugh are the great divider with all your jealous remarks.
Obama afraid of a blowhard drug addict? a ha ha ha ha ha !!!!!
Puh-lease!! Rush the Comedian is an overblown pompous hot-air windbag.
He isn't fit to tie Obama's shoe...
Calm down people... Limbaugh meant that Obama is afraid of him because he is one of the few in the media and politics who is willing to oppose Obama's decisions and opinions.
It's amazing how few seem to understand the meaning of context today... I suppose ignorance and immaturity is in.
Mr. Fat Head is indeed the face of the Republican Party. No wonder they lost the election. In fact, they shall not regain power again until these fools perish. It is sad that so many Americans buy into this racist hatred. I guess the ol south is still trying to resurrect itself.
Here is a man that does not have a college education attempting to challenge one of America's best education individual. A Harvard Law School grad. Mr. President, please do not lower your dignity to even address stupid Rush and his backwoods followers. Yes, they will continue to rant and rave and we will have to put up with their annoyance. But, I am encourage because the large majority of Americans are progressive and the numbers continue to grow. Just like many of us could not imagin a Black President – and it happend . . . there will also come a day when Rush, Hannity and rest will be silent. Peace!
How could any person who calls himself an American, wish that the current President fail when he has'nt even began to sink his teeth into this mess that was left behind from Mr. bush. I don't care which party you support, you don't wish failure on your incoming President, especially during the hard times this country is going through.
RUSH limbaugh, please RUSH to rehab. YOUR JUST TRYING TO GET SOME ATTENTION AWAY FROM OBAMA, ALL THE ATTENTION OBAMA IS GETTING! YOUR SO JEALOUSE!
RUSH limbaugh= pathetic, anti-american looser!
Rush is speaking for some big wigs behind the scene. This are the people that keep you poor and make your poorer. Rush is speaking for them. He is depressing and we are in depression. Have you ever asked yourself why he is paid a lot money? Think outside the box.
Why would you want the President to fail? If he does, so does our country. No matter what your party affiliation is, I'm sure you would want our country to prosper.
Limbaugh is a right-winged preacher of hate! This is exactly why the people voted for change. This jerk should not be given any media attention whatsoever!!!
Contrary to the person that stated Limbaugh has 20 million viewers and growing, according to Limbaughs own press, he has 14 million conbined viewer/listeners, down from 20 million in 2003. Looks like Limbaugh is losing viewers and resorting to tactics to try and get him more attention. But of course porr Rush is not to blame. It's all the pills this addict popped which are affecting his judgement. How many conservatives ditched him becuase of his drug addiction? He is an obvious embarrasment and the best way to hurt him is finacially. Stop giving him attention and he will eventually go away.
Rush must be a closet liberal because his actions make Obama look sweet
Rush must be back on those pain meds again.... too bad he's too full of himself to see beyond that fat ego of his. Enough with the rhetoric Rush, time to move beyond playing games for the conservative electoral losers who put us where we are today. broke and hoping for a better future.
Rush is one to talk about someone being afraid of him. What can he possibly do to someone besides talk about them on this show? All the power he has is behind a microphone. Only fools follow him and he will lead them to destruction. He is probably high on pills again. It simply amazes me how someone so self serving can get paid so much and provide so little. I will continue to pray for Rush and those of his kind.
I think Limbaugh have lost with balance of sense and is trying hard to find some foothold for his rethoric. He however makes himself look more foolish that anything else. He is really naive in making comparisons between Obama and himself. What has Limbaugh achieved in life that is worth mentioning? May be he should learn a couple of lessons from Obama. Limbaugh is trying hard to gain some attention with his frivolous and nonsensial comments. Limbaugh, can I ask you a question? Have you ever even seen Harward in picture? Uneducated people like him should be banished from the media.
I fully respect freedom of speech so I will always protect the right for people like Limbaugh to voice their opinions. However, if Limbaugh thinks he has all the answers to everything that ails our country, then why doesn't he shut his pie hole and run for office. Put your money where your mouth is!
Well, if Rush thinks Obama is scared of him, then I'm sure he wouldn't mind a little mano e mano out on the sidewalk. Barack would kick his fat fanny so hard, his family back in Cape Girardeau would feel it.
Limbreaker is a big fat idiot. Anyone who pays homage to Mr. Pillpopper doesn't know how to think for themselves. He is merely a mouthpiece for the Republican National Committee. Which is why he (honestly) said he hopes Obama is a failure.
we're all scared of you, rush. you're crazy. and not in a lets-have-a-kegger-before-finals way.
Limbaugh is nuts just like his former president. Just hot air. Remember to take your pills!
This man Limbaugh is so full of hot air, someone needs to puncture his balloon. Unfortunately for him, he is outnumbered by the majority of reasonable, peace loving Americans who are sick and tired of the politics of hate and divisiveness. (Check out the stats at Pres. Obama's inauguaration) He should give peace a chance, he just might like it and find solace in it rather than in illegally obtained, mind -altering prescription drugs which osbcure his mind and cloud his judgment.
Should be afraid of him. More people should take there heads out of the sand and listen to him. Good luck rush.
The Supreme rules years ago the one does NOT have the freedom yell "Fie" in a crowded theater. By logic extension one doe NOT have the right to yell "FIre" in a theater that is not on fire.
It is a criminal offense. By logical extension Rush is guilty of hate crime. He should be arrested and put away. He is a threat to society, not a spokesman for disgrunted or disenfranchised white folk!.
Rush Limbaugh would scare the devil. He is a cruel, mean spirited , evil man. I think he hates himself and should be knocked off the air. Who owns the station and pays his way? Dick Cheney? He is spreading a lot of hate and there are people stupid enough to believe him. I don't know who drools more venom.......him or Ann Coulter!!!
Why did Obama give his first Broadcast Interview to Al-Jazier tv?
CNN, WHY DO YOU EVEN BOTHER WITH THIS INSIGNIFICANT STORY! RUSH'S COMMENTS ARE NO WHERE WORTHY OF BEING TALKED ABOUT, HE IS A JOKE!
What is Rush going to do run for public office? He doesn't have enough testosterone in his system to do so. He is better off sitting in a corner, taking his pills and getting hight legally.
And of course, said best by Al Franken:
Rush Limbaugh is a Big Fat Idiot
Rush Limbaugh, "Get over yourself." The only think frightening about you is your face!
Rush thinks way too highly of himself.. maybe he' s on those pills again..
Obviously based on these comments the liberals do listen to Rush on the radio. If they didn't they wouldn't know he exists. If you listen carefully to Rush he really has a truthful story to tell. That's why the liberals are afraid of him. They don't have anybody that can rebuttle him.
"It seems that all the left can do is continue with their childish ways, attack people they don't agree with by calling them names. If you felt that those things that Rush has said are false then prove otherwise with FACTS, not namecalling."
I'll go ahead and do that just as soon as you and Rush start showing some FACTS (why all caps anyway?) of your own to prove that evil left that you are so afraid of wrong.
Rush Limbaugh is a disgusting human being. Not only does he want our president to fail (thus, our country to fail), but he is a narcissistic b*stard that thinks the majority of the country listens to him.
News for you, Rush. You lost. Your party lost. YOU were/are part of the problem.
Rush Limbaugh is no longer pertinent. I doubt Mr. Obama is any more frightened of Mr. Limbagh any more than we old time Republicans are of Franklin Roosevelt.
why even publish what this ignorant, selfloving fool has to say about OBAMA! hey, you know, the right guy won and the rest of America will be better for it. maybe all of your sponsors will go bankrupt thanks to bush's screwups and you'll be off the air, because they can't be too smart to be sponsoring you, dare we dream....as politely as i can say, sit on a tack!
well, if this guy means what he says, then if you believe this is America DON'T LISTEN AND KICK HIM OFF THE AIR. if it actually is America BE DONE WITH HIM. brainwashed either way, I'd go with Rush. Everyone else drools way too much over Obamano
Always wanted to say something to Rush Limbaugh. Nows the chance. Crawl in a hidey hole and pull the cover down with you.
"Oh... I see", People Of The left just can't handle it when their Ox (Obama) is being goored. Wa..Wa. Well, get used to it, because it's your turn now. Wake up, People Of The Left, he's niether a god nor a savior (even though you might think so). So, take a chill pill and don't get your panities in a wad.
It's funny how you People Of The Left always tout yourselve as being the most tolerent, caring, inteligent and free thinking of society, but yet you're really the most vile, hateful and miserable group of people one has ever met.
Especially when others have opposing points of view. Have you read any of these other delightful comments?... I rest my case...
People Of The Left, we see you for what you "really" are...
Rush Limbaugh is more of a liberal than he is conservative. Hes never shared my values and interest and he surely hasnt gained my respect. The guy has a belly full of opinion, yet he doesnt bother to look within before speaking. The best thing that could happen is that the federal regulators come in and seize his radio station, simply to shut his devisive aus up. Limbaugh has never been one to unify our political parties. Hes as crooked as the president who ceded office. I would hope that President Obama launches an investigation against the Bush administration for potential violations of the Geneva Convebtion, war crimes against innocent civilians. If the President would just sock into his fat aus gut, Id be one gracous democrat.
One day you haters will morn capitalism. Just don’t say Rush didn’t warn you while you busy sniffing Obama's farts.
If the GOP keep feeding into this type of talk they wont be in the white house or anywhere else for a generation or two. when they talk its not even constructive criticism, how about these talk shows offer some ideas that "MOST REAL" Americans what to hear
Who listens to this vile man? What idiot can honestly believe in anything this fat, greedy man who doesn't care about our country says – why are these people listening to him and allowing him to live in a multi-million dollar complex in florida and earn over $50million per year – I don't remember how much he was signed for.
Don't these ignorant insane listeners realize that he spouts out his vile just to keep his life style in pace? He has 3 failed marriages, he is a former drug dealer and dropped out of college.
This baffles me no end.
"it's funny how so many educated people listen to a man who couldn't succeed at a 3rd rate school.
"
Well, anyone, even educated people, can get into a herd mentality where they take comfort in someone reaffirming their hatred and fear of others I guess.
WHAT A WINDBAG!!! Please tell me when semi-intelligent people will stop listening to this moron? He is a hate spewing, only talks to hear himself speak, drug addict, without an intelligent opinion, bafoon that moronic white males listen to. The only difference between him and Howard Stern is that Stern can actually have an intellectual opinion about some things. For the most part, these two need to be packed up and sent off to a desert island so nobody ever has to hear from them again (with the exception of Stern's "Stump the Booey" bit which I love).
Listening to the opinions of old grumpy white men (Jewish or not) is sooo yesterday (Yawn). Hang it up boys! There is a new game in town.
Why, exactly, should we care what Limbaugh has to say? I choose not to listen to his radio show, and I find him irrelevant.
I can't believe you are that ignorant to believe that Obama is afraid of you? I guess if you fell on him, I could see that. Go take some of your drugs. Who is buying them for you now? You are so pathetic. And did I say ignorant. Amazing.
At least we have the freedom to post for FREE on this site. Rush is so protected that the only way anyone can comment to him directly is if they pay $59.90 PER YEAR plus $6.95 S&H. So, I guess freedom (of speech) isn't really free. The good news about this is that the economy is SO bad that the rednecks who actually pay for this garbage won't have the money to renew their subscriptions. So long, Rush. Your days are numbered.. 1, 2, 3....
The libs just don't EVER want to hear the truth. Of course, NO ONE having ANYTHING to do with CNN would EVER want to hear or admit a true word from Rush.
RUSH SPEAKS THE TRUTH, it's just, as always, the HORRIBLE, LIBERAL media doesn't want to hear it. TRUTH HURTS.
Even after only 4 business days, as of Monday night, President O'Bummer is making bad waves. I think this country will be VERY sorry, especially after 4 years with this dude as prez.
RUSH, YOU'VE GOT IT GOING ON MY MAN!! KEEP IT UP, THE LIBBERS JUST CAN'T TAKE IT.
) They're having their fun now, but, not for long.
PRESIDENT O'BUMMER CAN'T CONTROL, EVEN THOUGH HE WANTS TO, WHAT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE THINK OR DO. THAT IS CALLED COMMUNISIM AND IT WILL NOT FLY IN THIS COUNTRY!!
GOOOOOOOOO RUSH!!!!!!
What's with the bickering and vitriol? Obama voters, you won, what do you care what some guy on the radio says? Stop hating on us conservatives and show us how to run a peaceful loving world already!
Rush Limbaugh = Howard Stern
He's a shock jock and nothing else.
He loves the attention.
The fact we're even talking about this guy says a lot.
DON'T FEED THE TROLLS!
Only idiots take Rush seriously.
rush ,please rush to rehab again. you're a pathetic looser and an anti-american. don't call yourself an american ever!.
you want prisedent obama, our first african- american president to fail? how pathetic are you? and please obama is afraid of you? ha !ha! ha! where are you living? in the moon?
that's why people like collin powel adviced the republicans to stay away from you. you don't represent hte republican party and obama is saying the same thing. don't listen to that idiot RUSH RUSH!(YOUR NICKNAME)
#44 took the bait; hook, line and sinker.! Good job Rush!
CNN why did you not approve my comment? Because it wasn't one of over 500 negative sayings about Mr. Limbaugh? Perhaps you should actually listen to his show rather than commenting on something you know nothing about?
Not one brain among all those democrats and those who voted for them.
The Democratic way: IF WE SAY IT, IT IS SO, IF WE SAY IT OFTEN ENOUGH, IT IS TRUE, IF WE SAY IT LOUDLY ENOUGH, IT IS TRUE FAST. so, we say we will have energy independence so we will have, even if WE HAVE NO JOBS, NO GOODS TO SHIP AND THEREFORE NO ONE NEEDS ENERGY BECAUSE WE HAVE THE POOREST NATION ON EARTH!!!!! The democratic way.
You have to admit that was childish of Obama to say that.... makes everyone stand up and pay attention as to what was said...but if its the truth keep it comming we want to hear all sides
What's with the bickering and vitriol? Obama-voters, you won, what do you care what some guy on the radio says? Stop hating on conservatives and show us how to run a peaceful loving planet already!
If Limbaugh could learn how to read maybe he would find out what the american people actually think of him and fade away...until then we will have to put up with this bafoon...someone call a scientist...I think he is the missing link
I've been afraid of Rush ever since I first heard him on talk radio.
Give microphone to a pig...its still a pig!! Ha! Ha!..i love this
today's tom sawyer? rush? i love rush, saw them in concert in 82...
I'm trying to remember if Bush called out any particular commentators on the Left. Nope, I don't remember it. I guess none of them really mattered enough. Not even Franken, who resorted to calling Rush a "Big Fat Liar". Looking at some of the earlier posts it looks like name-calling from the Left might be either a debate technique or just evidence of a lack of a cohesive argument. In any case, Rush ought to take it as a compliment (I am sure he does) because it's not every day that the president calls attention to an individual citizen. Heck, Obama should be buttering Rush up, after-all he is going to need Rush to make as much money as he possibly can so that the effects of Obama's tax increases on people in Rush's income level will be realized in increased revenue. Afterwards will Obama thank Rush and his fellow-rich guys for their "Patriotism" and "Sacrifices" that PAY for Obama's so-called bailouts and stimulus packages?? I doubt it. Remember, if you get all of your withholding returned to you in the form of a teax refund, that means you didn't pay any taxes. If you get all of your withholding back AND receive a check from Obama that means you are on welfare. Enjoy it while the rest of us pay for your personal bailout. Don't complain about us.
I am so tired of hearing so much hatred towards the GOP. Anything said that doesn't agree with the Democratic agenda is called "hate speech" or "ignorance." One of the joys of living in America is being able to have your own opinion and express it...now it seems that you can only share your opinion if you're a Democrat.
Limbaugh frighten me.. How can Obama scare him when we just had 8 years of Bush?? He watches to much Fox!!!
Rush is a mouthpiece for proven failed polices that got our nation into this mess in the first place.
Please restart the Fairness Doctrine so we can shut this dissent up! We only need ONE voice speaking in this time of crisis!!
I just LOVE how CNN doesn't open up for comments to the story about the new treasury secretary was sworn in today – you know – the guy who's gonna run the IRS – the guy who hasn't paid taxes in YEARS!!! How in the world can the mainstream media and the President ignore this? Can anyone – ANYONE? explain this? If this were a republican – the nomination wouldn't have lasted 1 day. This goes to show what kind of ObamaNation we're in for..
Rush Limbaugh is just a flat out racist. Why give this guy a platform? Anyone who would listen to this garbage clearly needs to look themselves in the mirror.
What?????? Is he joking...Limbaugh is also one of the reason why Rupblican lost...get rid of this kind nonsense....
Mr. Rush should support any president in office. If not then he is UNAMERICAN, please leave the country MR. Limbaugh.
If Rush really wants our President to fail at this point in history where the very future of our country depends on the President's success, what does that say about Rush? Aside from the fact that he is a pompous blowjhard, of course. It says that he is an unforgiveable traitor, and no fate will be too awful for him.
And mark my words, he will suffer an awful fate one of the these days. i only hope I'm here to witness it.
We need to throw all these Conservatives in prision. They are hurting our country in this desperate time!
In addition to oxy & viagra, this guy needs some immodium... to stop his verbal diarrhea.
Getting busted with viagra by US customs........ priceless
as am i scared of chicken pox
Good has triumphed over evil. And Rush doesn't like that.
How many people on here who criticize Limbaugh for his choice of words about Obama were fine with left-wing talk show hosts bashing Bush? It works both ways, both are disgusting but each said only calls each other out on it. Fix yourself first before you throw the first stone.
Hahahahaha...oh Rush, you're hilarious. You and your kind are gone...gone with Bush, Cheney, and the other fear-mongering GOP cronies. Do us all a favor and OD on the pharmacy in your bathroom.
Dear Rush,
As a member of the GOP I can only say that you are an out of touch cynical old man. I could go on and on with your short comings, but in stead, I will simply change the button on the radio and you are gone. I do not have to hope you will fail, that’s a given. I do not blame our party for the mess we are in but we are in one. Your desire to see someone fail is a self serving hypocritical thing to say. Your not a thinker, your an entertainer and like any lame radio show, you will fade away in time. While I have not liked the Democratic Party, and have paid millions in taxes, I would like to see the new president succeed in his endeavors even at the expense of saying I was wrong. I voted for John Mc Cain. If for some reason and the chances are good that President Obama does fail, it won’t be because you’re some brilliant clairvoyant. Find a new job, maybe you could provide a real service to our nation. Get off your big butt and pitch in.
Limbaugh's lunatic rants are the result of way too much drug abuse, even if it perscription drugs. His biggest problem is that he killed most of his few brain cells. Maybe 1 or 2 are left and are defective.
Pay no atteneion to this worthless piece of crap, and maybe he will evaporate into nothingness, where he belongs!!!
He is just mean, venomous, toxic, and to be ignored.
There is a horror movie called the puppeteer where a man in a big black hat and trench coat would let loose his puppets. Limbaugh is just such a character with sinister motives and if John Boehner was one of his dolls he would name him "Chuckie". "Chuckies back"
Boooooooooo'oooooooo'!
Limbaugh is a racist, lying, drug addicted, hypocritical gas bag! Why would anyone with a half a brain listen to him....it...that!?
Rush Limbaugh is just another Village Idiot.
You can tell by these comments its all democrats...if only you had 1/2 the brains you think you do....I want to hear what someone has to say...hell I don't like my tax dollars going on killing babies and I'm against it...I don't like the governent telling me what to do I have a brain and know whats right or wrong...I have met so many people that now say they think they voted wrong this might just be a 4 yearer
Limbaugh is irrelevant, along with the rest of the pundiocrity. Your brand of government lost, move on, and be gone.
I love the die hard supporters of Bush and Rash; these folks are typified by joe "the not really named joe and not really a plumber and not really a journalist" wurlzpuke who admits his quality of life, income, and potential opportunities will all improve under Obama's tax plan, yet votes against his own interests anyway. Just like limp-barf's latest "I hope this socialism fails because that's bad." comment. Great circular idiocy. Wait. Which bad are we talking about? Failure or Socialism? So failure is good as long as we call it socialism, and success is bad. But economic collapse is good, as long as we call it capitalism and stick our heads in the sand. Got it.
come now emma you ever heard of free speech? don't let the rush make your president sweat..... with all of the new policies your homie is putting into place in the short time in office, don't fret his approval rating will be below BUSH'S in the first 6 months...... too bad for his bid in 2012 lots of voters who actually admit that they made a mistake by voting the crook in has already pledged not to make the same mistake again...... cheers baby
The Rush Limbaugh Show – 20 years on the radio, someone must be listening.
Who wouldn't be frightened of you with a face like that!?!?!?
No Rush, Obama is not afraid of you. You are an entertainer to your listeners and irrelevant to the educated thinkers of the rest of world. You appeal to the "Joe the Plumber" mentality.
Ol' Limbaugh thinks too much of himself.
In your dreams Limbaugh. He probably thinks you're a joke like every other rational American.
Dear Rush,
Get caught with any illegal prescription meds lately?
Hey Rush, its time for your thorazine!
Is that the Oxy Contin speaking or did he OD on Viagra?
Seems his show is not receiving the audience he expects, that it is why he has nothing else but to pick on something new. Indeed!
It is not worth it to spend energy and time on individuals like this, which what they only do is damage the public image.
Limbaugh, O'Reilly, foaming at the mouths conservatives, not relevent anymore
Remember this. Rush Limbaugh is a television actor who plays a character named Rush Limbaugh..it works for him so don't expect any changes to his "act".. Its called Show BusIness. Limbaugh is only in it for the entertainment and the big payoff. His real threat is the new "Obama" act playing down the street. This will be fun to watch for awhile and them I'll get bored wth it.
Darko, ... Really? Haven't the typical Republican economic policies affected employment enough already? Yet you still truly believe in them? Really? ...Wait, really? ... REALLY?????!!
He's such a loser. Even my racist, 82-year-old Republican mother who lives in his home town and used to attend funerals with his mother (before she died) doesn't listen to him anymore.
most people are frightened of Idiots. so what is new?
Frightened of Limbaugh??? Rush's influence failed miserably in this election process and he, himself, is a failure as a human being.
America, thankfully, has gotten past the Limbaugh thought process of fear and division. He is over,done, and a thing of the past. Long live and thrive the New America that has turned the page!
Goodbye, Rush.
"Feminism was established so as to allow unattractive women easier access to the mainstream of society."- Rush Limbaugh, Oct 26, 1992, Time Magazine
Humm i think he already stop taking his oximoron... i meant oxicotryn...what a clown...
It is difficult to unify those who don't want to be unified. Rush is one of the leading causes of the divided nation – and then he has the audacity to blame it on Obama. What a tool...
Limbaugh rhymes with BlahBlah
To the poster who claims Limbaugh has 20 million viewers–can you prove that? I mean, it's radio...how can you count? Sounds nice, and I'm sure conservatives love to think they exist in these huge numbers, but where were they in November? Not voting for Ms.Conservative"Real America" and Mr. Healthy Economy, were they? Now they can't wait to bash the new guys before they've had a week in office.
But hey, have your fun while Obama works for all Americans, which is more than your hero GW ever did.
To think that Limbaugh still has a job, but News and Notes got the ax...UGH!!!!!
I am afraid of you too, Rush. Afraid that you will drench my soul in gravy and eat it.
Rush, are you hallucinating again?
Al Franken was right, Rush Limbaugh is a big fat idiot. Also a drug user.
I suspect that Rush will earn a place in history. Right next to Spiro Agnew. I suppose that Rush will be proud of that comparison.
Such a sad, sad man. We should pity him and then forget about him.
Oh, yeah. I'd like to see Obama go three rounds with Rush. There wouldn't be anything left to pick up. Obama could mop the floor with Rush and still have plenty left to take down that other loofah-loving, bloviating gas bag, O'Reilly. Yeah, I'd pay for view BIG TIME to see that.
Obama is frightened of Ann Coulter, however, because out of the three of them on the card, she's the only one with XX chromosomes. She's diesel, that one. Hannity can wear a bikini and hold up the round cards, since he's too nelly to actually get in the ring.
right Limbaugh does ryhme with Blah Blah Blah.
Limbaugh, O'Reilly, just not relevent anymore...People don't want to hear that anymore...As Niecy says Limbaugh is a "hot mess"
Limbaugh is an "attention seeker". somebody call his mommy.
Rush is attempting to imply that Obama can't be a unifier and usher in a spirit of bipartisanship, but if he can't it won't be by any fault of Obama's. He has gone out of his way to reach out to republicans, however bipatisanship is a two way street. You can't be disagreeable and then get mad because someone is unable to force you into acting reasonable. Like Obama said it's time to be a man and put away childish things. I guess people like Rush wouldn't know anything about that.
Limbaugh's audience is larger than the fan base of Congress so his politics must be closer to the center of American ideology. If you still think that Clinton was a good president, you'll love Obama. For those that know the truth about Clinton, take heed and watch out for Obama. And Bill . . . IS means IS . . . unless you're a pathological liar!
Nancy asked what kind of American wants their President to Fail – the HateBush years should answer that one.
Hey druggie, I mean Rush . . . you have it the other way around, you are afraid of Obama because he is going to fix the mess that crooks like you created!
who is this idiot named Rush Limblah?
Tom, you give no argument as to why us voters for Obama are racists. So you're saying that 53% of the American people are racists?
People who keep throwing stones at Obama with no facts to back it up, are just another example of the King with no clothes. You spew your hatred of the man and those who would vote for him, and have nothing to back your hatred but false accusations.
Please, go buy some books and start reading, and not just those written by Rush.
Someone please exile Rush and Blah-blah-go up to Little Diomede, that island in Alaska that 'on a clear day, you can see Russia' and make Palin go out there so they can see which one out-spews the other. It will be the War of the Narcissists! Confine them all on that island with a 'border fence' and just give them three karioke machines with mics. And please, please, no media allowed because I don't ever want to see these three egomanics in the news ever again!
Why would Obama be afraid of some drug addict?
Just WHY would Obama be afraid of Rush Limbaugh?
I can't think of a single reason. With all the real threats in this world, Rush Limbaugh would be the least of his problems.
Limbaugh is obviously delusional. Perhaps he stopped taking his med..??
Yea, that is right. Rush should change his name to Rush Limblahblah!!!
walter...
Very easy. There are a lot of disenfranchised people in this country who want to blame someone else for what is happening to them.
Rush is there to vilify others for them.
Now, the drug-addled idiot can claim to have the President on the run! Wow, isn't he cool? Maybe the right wingers were right...maybe Obama should have left Gitmo open.
The only one I can think of more full of it AND of himself other than Rush Limbaugh, is Blagojevich.
Why doesn't LIEbaugh just die already?! And take his ditto heads with him! We could do without yet another lying, greedy, racist pig, hypocrite Republican. He should go climb up Palin's @ss and stay there!
I think it's important to note that Rush has never solved anything or contributed in any positive way (except to his pocket). Nor is he paid to do so. He is paid to pontificate without debate. And he has a lot more to do. He recently signed an 8 year $400 MILLION contract. He knows what side his bread is buttered on. It must be sweet revenge for someone who wasn't much liked as a child, has never had a lot of friends, 3 failed marriages and couldn't hold a job until this gig. A lot of anger just under the skin.
Somebody needs to put a gag on Rush. He's been spewing hate since Clinton was elected and the stupid party-line GOPers buy it. Since you can't fix stupid, somebody needs to shut this guy up!
good pair. the cnn comment deleters. and the rush limblah windbag. two of a kind.
President Obama invites Limbaugh to the White House, and gives him the public dressing-down of his life. (Think Martin Sheen in "Midterms" episode of "The West Wing.")
I find it almost sad that Mr. Limbaugh is so obviously out of touch with the citizenry of this nation. He is, in reality, little more than a political comedian with a niche audience. He holds little influence over independents nor really anyone honestly looking for knowledge and information. For this reason, its hard to really be upset by his comments, but they are still so very misguided.
Is this guy still speaking?
what a jealous pathetic high school girl he is. retire already.
Dear Mr. Limbaugh,
The average person dreads being alone in your presence, and being in your presence at all for that matter, contrary to the your deluded pompous, and juvenile belief that you have the ability to cause people fear, it is not because they are afraid of you, it's because they don't like you. You are an obnoxious, obscene, and arrogant individual, without the least regard for your fellow Americans, and much less your country. Bipartisanship is not equivocal to wasting time with people are not willing to put pettiness aside and act on the behalf of their country, in fact it is the exact opposite. Someone who wishes for their commander in chiefs failure, and, as such, the failure of their country, is not only unpatriotic, they are a disgrace to the United States of America.
Kelly (New Hampshire)
You big, fat, ugly oxy pud!
Rush is just looking for headlines because he has become irrelevant – again. Still.
Don't listen to this bigoted drug addict. When his ratings fall, he will go away.
Please.
Doesn't Rush have some Vicodin he needs to buy? Maybe he's getting testy because he needs his fix.
Rubish Limblah. You got it.
Whatever it takes to keep your radio audience entertained, Rush. I understand people wanting an escape from reality, and in that you seem to provide a public service for many. In your dreams, dude!
Three words:
What. An. Idiot.
rush is the scum of this country and the best thing to happen to the Democratic party. Thank you rush!!! Go OBAMA/BIDEN
Rubish Limblah.
walter
The 20 million are ignorant people like you. Please read – ignorant does not mean uneducated (like Limbaugh) or stupid just having your head stuck in the sand. Unfortunately the Limbaugh crowd and the ultra-religious right have taken over the Republican party. It’s time to take it back. Hopefully Limbaugh, Coulter and the others of their ilk have run their course and will just fade away.
Unfortunetly
ok...move along...nothing to see here...
Just some weak-minded individual still looking for his next hit...
Dope fiend ***
CNN needs to not try to make news where there isn't any. I blame CNN. Is this a ratings issue? I don't see any ads on this page... Are eyeballs that important and why? What is the point? "We remain a young nation, but in the words of Scripture, the time has come to set aside childish things."
Is this true, CNN: "What the cynics fail to understand is that the ground has shifted beneath them — that the stale political arguments that have consumed us for so long no longer apply." LIVE IT, CNN. Send Rush back to the 90's where he belongs. Shame on you.
Let the pill popper keep on flappin his jaws. He's a terrible representation of conservatives and most importantly of Americans.
I sometimes listen to his radio to laugh. For me he is a totally ignorant who belongs to the old generation of thinkers who has no place in this century. Its fun to listen and realize that there are those who ignorant like him. There may be many listeners for him. But American will evolve and reject that type of comments. I do not see any reason why Obama has to even be concerned about him.
Nuwan
...click, click, pull...
Well, Rush's gotta do something to keep himself relevant. The crazier the things he says, the more attention he gets, and no matter what he's saying that's always a win for him.
The only thing worse than Limbaugh's (insincere) claim that he frightens President Obama is the news judgement of the responsible person or persons at CNN who published this story to a national audience. CNN readers expect more (and deserve more) from news professionals than they do from Limbaugh. Shame on you.
Limbaugh is a pathetic excuse for a Republican. Republicans who aligned themselves with Bush are not true Republicans. They are advocates for religious despotism and goes against the very meaning of the word 'Freedom'.
Limbaugh needs to stop popping his crazy pills and crawl back into his self-righteous little cave of ignorance.
Liimbaugh is an uninformed, irrelevant clown. Conservative ideology went the way the way of the dodo back in 2006 The only thing that's been afraid of Limbaugh since then is the buffet table.
I hope Rush Limbaugh keeps talking, because he is a large part of why the Republican party is faltering. He uses his air time to pin-point blame on any given issue to Bill Clinton or someone else on the democratic side. Now that Obama is in office, he will become the butt of his blame game. Who is served by degenerating every issue into a democrat versus republican issue? He's too concerned about defending the Republican party, rather than analyzing what is good for the country. It appears that the success of Rush Limbaugh is inversely proportional to the success of the Republican party. Go Rush!
Limbaugh did not say he wanted Obama to fail – he said he wanted Obama to fail to get his policies put into effect. And I for one agree – I too don't want this country to go another $1 trillion in debt and I don't want the government to begin to take control over the entire private sector and free market – that approach was tried, in Russia after 1917, and it didn't work. And it was tried in Communist China and it didn't work and the Chinese realized it and they are beginning to convert their country to what this country used to be and they are beginning to blow our socks off.
Who cares if somone is a liberal, conservative, or an independent. I listened to Limbaugh when he first hit the airwaves and realized very quickly that he was not a positive individual and has to say whatever it takes to keep a controversial "tone" beating. This has made this individual very wealthy and he's concerned now that he's losing a little steam and in time will fall out of favor. Its long overdue and I'm astounded that so many listen to this guy..grow up and think for yourself and do something productive with your time..Bill in Idaho
you want to know how to pi$$ him off? ignore him! its so weird how we always say we value free speech, yet our radio and our tv and movies are all censored. by the same idiots who follow this man, but yet think its okay for him to preach hate and ignorance. like previous poster why would you want your president to fail? we are in our toughest times, and it will take all of us to pull through it.
UNITED WE STAND! DIVIDED WE FAIL!
Hey right wingers...you're right, Rush did say he wanted Obama's socialist policies to fail. Like we are going to become Cuba or something. He did not say he wanted Obama to fail but his half-truths show that he is not going to support any change in this country either.
However, later in that same program he DID say that voters chose Obama "because of his black father". This is not the first time he has gone down that road and Obama is not the first black he has disparaged in that manner. The issue with Rush is he is an intolerant racist. And if he speaks for you right wingers, as so many of you here claim, then we have much bigger problems in this country than some drug addled idiot.
Limpburger ....no one is scared of you. First of all you don't have half the mental intellect to qualify you to even be in the presence of your New President...... you bigoted back biter...you are absolutely right – the days of the racist bigots like yourself, is numbered. So you can continue to spread you simple minded racist ideals to the rest of your racist, ignorant followers for their days are numbered also. You are going to need to contact your drug dealer...those pills will be needed or you may just jump off the nearest high rise. Which probably won't be such a bad idea.
Yeah......right.I'm sure that President Obama is scared of Rush Limburger.This man is an idiot and I can't believe anyone takes him seriously.
why would the President be afraid of a big,fat liar?-go score a valium
WAY TO GO RUSH. YOU ARE DOING A GOOD JOB, KEEP IT UP.
The only thing that Rush should "fear" is Rush himself!! You will loose Mr. (don't deserve the Mr.) Lembaugh, and all we have to do is sit back and wait and watch. Shouldn't be long. Ah, a day to celebrate when they finally remove him from the air waves!! It will be like a breath of fresh air. Like going on vacation. Like a piece of apple pie.
I'm thinking President Obama is more man than you'll ever be and you might be a little jealous?
@walter: It is very easy to explain. He does not have 20 million listeners. Just because he says he does does not mean it's truth. In fact, now that radio listenership has started being measured factually with devices that note what the listeners ACTUALLY tuned to instead of what they say the tune to, my understanding is that Rush's audience is being measured at less than 1/3 of what was previously believed. So try again Dittoheads–you are a much smaller force than previously believed. As such you should not really be heeded.
I hear Obama will name Limbaugh as Secretary of Energy, realizing that such a hotair windbag could probably affect global warming
Limbaugh and his minions hate everybody that doesn't agree with their insanity. We have had enough and are coming together to put an end to those days. This country is going to change whether you people like it or not. I am not afraid of you Rush or your minions. I already know you're end is near.
Why does anyone even pay attention to this drug abusing hate monger?
Rush,
Stay off the pills man!
Limbaugh is a blank slit tabula rasa, who thinks by drawing parallels with the president is a sign of power and traction with ill thinking conservatives like him. he is aloser who thinks he knows whats good for american............stupid neocon
Walter, you and the rest of Limbaugh's followers who can still breed are the ones we should REALLY be afriad of....the world doesn't need any more morons.
Please boycott products advertised on the Limbaugh show and website.
nobody is frightened of a pill popper lunatic. Although he is afraid of me
Rush is going to start saying more really crazy stuff because he is dying. He won't last 2 more years. Good ridance.
WALTER: Liberals explain it the same way that they explain the election on Nov 4th. The Republicans got, what, 48 million votes. Guess what? Those votes were go enough for a second place finish.
We explain it because some of us libs listen to him for our daily comedic dose (not me, but I know many who do).
I think President Obama should take Rush up on his offer. If Rush Limbaugh shows any DISRESPECT for the OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, well, that's his choice and he should be permitted to eat that cake, too. Mind this, Rushbots – People are hurting mighty bad, and you seem to be preoccupied with seeing things go much worse. Another sad observation – Day Five of the Obama Administration and Rush Limbaugh is already talking trash. It seemed that Former President George Bush had significantly more time to prove HIS worth.
You know I been reading through these comments and I'm amazed by how many people have constantly reminded us about Rush using pills before.....but have read none about all the coke Obama put up his nose???
I didn't read any part of this article. It confuses me that CNN and other media outlets choose to air an openly racist persons point of view. I feel really good about recently cutting my cable.
Poor Rush. Is that all he has?
I'm trying to figure out why Obama would be frightened of Limbaugh. Rush spent 2 years slagging off Obama to his listeners, yet Obama still won. So why would he fear Limbaugh now?
Rush seems to like to spin things with himself at the center.
Yawn...
Rush,
Why don't you go and get a oxycon fix!!! Your getting Fat again... But really this guy is just really full of himself to think he can shape policy
in this country.. Why dont the big dittohead run in 2012??? Come on
Rush let your true love of this country play out . Run or shut the bleep
up!!!!!
To the people that say he has 20 million listeners and this proves a wide margin of people believe what he says I say your argument is fatally flawed. You could also say that 20 million listen to him BECAUSE he is an idiot not because they believe him. Its like BillO, good entertainment because they are so crazy. Hence they dont listen to him because they believe him but because his idiocy is entertaining. Many other possibilities also exist, that is merely one.
i was right @ 8:20
4) and a whole bunch of anger from a bunch of rednecks who think someone stole "their" country
Discussion is healthy right wingers but your rants are laughable at best.
Rush Limburger couldn't carry Barack Obama's jock! He is the scum of the earth and is the only known afterbirth to survive. Let's all send him some peanut butter crackers to feed the fat mouth of his.
Lay off the oxycontin Limbaugh! I'm sure Obama lay awake at night wondering what idiotic thing you will say. You are soo full of yourself, that you would even consider something soo rediculous. You are a perfect example of why you shouldn't do drugs while you're pregnant! You might as well face is old boy, he is your President. Now say it with me, President Obama, sir.
Why do we even give time to a moron like this one. Did he had drug abuse problems recently?
Now take a good look at an ego-maniac realizing he is totally irrelevant. The pathetic aspect of the human existence...
He had to make some sort of sensational comment, because he is rapidly becoming irrelevant.
Hard core drug users like him have lost the higher reasoning portions of their brains.
Ah, yes. Obama holds the most powerful position in the world. Limbaugh doesn't even have the power to put down that 4th doughnut. Obama will be a part of history. Limbaugh will be forgotten by it. The only people who can be led by Limbaugh's pontifications are those that didn't vote for Barack Obama in the first place. Obama doesn't NEED Rush's stamp of approval, and his legislative decisions can't be controlled by Rush. So, what has Obama to fear from this little man with the ginormous ego? NADA.
Rush is sounding a little fanatical...Him & Al-Qeada are both nervous.
Limbaugh is so obsolete. The Republican leaders should tell him to shut up – he's only hurting them by speaking. No wonder why the Democrats won by such a wide margin, with a 'genius' like Limbaugh mouthing off. LOL
this is the racist ignorance that has destroyed so many american lives
it's really sad that we all give them the time even me by commenting
Limbaugh is a hate monger. If he didn't have someone to spew hate and lies about, he'd have to crawl back under the rock he came from.
He's a shock jock and those who think he's great need a brain transplant.
Oh please. Limbaugh is a fool, and he confirms that every time he opens his mouth to spew his vitrolic and distorted view of the world. I for one don't think that a bigoted and drug addicted college dropout has much to contribute to our political dialogue. His oversimplification of issues, adherence to blind ideology, and transparent attempts to paint people who don't agree with him as villains, all appeals to the basest instincts of those in society who can't think for themselves.
Dear mr. oxycontinrush
DREAM ON! Err, should I say HILLUCINATE ON!
Bwhahahaha.
in your dreams fat boy...
"Rush never said that he wished for the country to fail, he only hoped that the policies that Obama pushed for that were socialist ideas to fail."
Surely you must see that if Obama's plan fails, then the economy doesn't get better, it gets worse. If the economy gets worse, then you and I would be that much more likely to lose our job, or perhaps lose our house (not me, I own outright).
So hoping Obama's policy's fail *is* hoping that the economy fails. I can certainly see where he would say that he thinks they won't work; that instead Obama should do this or that. That's all fine. But hoping that Obama's plans fail means that the economy gets no better, only worse.
I'd say Rush is quickly becoming irrelevant and we're hopefully moving on to a new age of bipartisanship and constructive dialogue not just knee jerk from-the-hip bickering, for the sake of bickering.
Not sure we can make it happen though. Hopefully we could all grow up and focus on sensible dialogue on the issues, not childish attacks on people.
I'm afraid of drug user also....actually in the state of Florida you should be doing a mandantory 25 years for your drug involvement. Bad back and all......
Limbaugh complete your education,and check back with us meaning America in about UMMMMMMMMMMMMMM 4 years SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. Be quite we're running the country.
I don't respect Limbaugh, but sometimes he is so right.
AMERICAN Terrorist
What a PUNK!!
This pill-popping pig has the audacity to call himself a patriot, and got a kick out of calling anyone who didn't agree with G.W. Bush unamerican, traitor, terrorist, etc, and telling them to "Move to (insert screwed up country)"
Rush ought'a follow his own advice and OD himself in some third-world hellhole...
I wonder if Rush is off his meds again.....or on them. I can't tell. He's a joke, no one is afraid of him!
Who is Limbaugh?
people like Limbaugh are the reason we have so much hatred in the USA
Oh that's a laugh. The guy with brains is afraid of the guy with none? I think not. The neocons are dirtying their diapers 'bout now.
RUSH IS THE BIGGEST PC OF CRAP AMERICA HAS EVER PRODUCED. HIS NEED FOR ATTENTION IS DUE TO THE FACT THAT HE NEEDS TO HIDE HIS DRUG USE. HE REALLY NEEDS TO LOOK IN HIS CLOSET MORE OFTEN BEFORE HE OPENS HIS LARGE OVER RATED IGNORANT MOUTH.
Everyone should be scared of Rush, because he continues to spread his lies and hate. The scariest part is there are people who actually believe his lies. He's already been saying he wants Obama to fail, which for the rest of us it means our country fails. I guess, Rush can just take all his money and drugs and move away. The heck with America for him. The rest of us actually care about our country and want Obama to succeed.
I didn't know this guy was still on the air. He is the Morton Downey Jr. of Radio!
Limbaugh/Coulter – 2012!!!!! (both losers)!!
Obama, our president is afraid of no one...and Rush you are a joke and anyone can be a critic, wake up some day maybe you Rush will get a real job instead of running your mouth and nothing comes out cause no one is listening.
Rush Limbaugh, who are you to say someone is afraid of you. You don't even have respect for the President let alone yourself. Anyone in their right mind would not publicly say for all the wrld to hear that you wish the President fail. What a thing to say about and to the GREAT
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. Because when you say things like that, think about it He is representative, leader, and the Commander in Chief of The United States of America. You know, whether you like it or not, HE IS STILL YOURS AND MY PRESIDENT OF THIS GREAT COUNTRY. I was always taught, if you can't say something good about someone, keep your mouth shut!!!. I realize you have an image to maintain, just don't do ti at the expense of our now newly elected President. A winner never looses, and a looser never wins, know what I mean. Have a nice day.
I'm liberal. I couldn't stand Bush. And I can't stand Rush. I voted for Obama and am overjoyed that he won. Nobody wanted Bush to fail. Nobody wanted his policies to fail. No one came out on their bully pulpit and said that they wanted that. But they did time and again. All by themselves. No one had to wish it or will it to happen.
The truth is Rush is afraid of Obama. He's afraid that he will be made obsolete. That he'll be left behind. That he won't matter anymore. Well, he never really did. At least not nearly as much as he thinks he does.
"Socialist policies." Those of you who rail against these things forget that unless you were born before 1930, you've lived your entire lives in a socialist democracy.
True Republicanism died under Andrew Jackson. That's nearly 180 years ago. Get with the times, please.
Man these media guys are so full of themselves. Like the president even cares what he has to say. CNN needs to stop posting stories about this clown, I mean come on there is news going on somewhere is'nt there?
Emma, Rob, et al... you poor simple-minded fools ... what are you afraid of? You fit the profile of the typical people liberals like to recruit: complete idiots. Do you hug trees on weekends? PS Rob .. your breath is "feculent odium" nice use of the thesaurus, douchebag
screw the gop party full of facists and also screw fat boy and all republicans
Same as Glenn Beck and Ann Coulter. They are ALL home grown TERRORISTS, who want nothing more than to see President Obama fail at his job.
Limbaugh and all those other White Supremist Christian Right Wing Extremists are in the SAME CATAGORY as Bin-Ladin and other terrorist. The ONLY difference is, they are HOME GROWN.
Rush please join the 21st century and come out of the Civil War , stop takeing those crazy pills man. There is no one on the planet who fears a drug abuser like you except children get real.
Rush is a NF (non factor for all you non gaming folk)
screw the gop party full of facists and screw fat boy and all republicans
This is just what we need. The economy is in a tailspin, and Limbaugh wants our new President to fail. Guess all those millions prevent him from seeing that the American people are really hurting.
Why are people still listening to this guy?
I don't think so! You are truly making a fool of yourself and your supporters. You need Jesus in your life!
america will fall just like all empires in the past
The only reason Obama warned the GOP off Limbaugh is so that they may actually try thinking for themselves. Instead of being an idiot driven collective.
And you wonder why no one wants to swim in the Republican pool anymore...YOU'RE IN IT!! Hey Fat-boy, maybe if you had a more constructive approach and less of a megalomaniacal one people might take you seriously. Honestly, like Ann Coulter, the only people affraid of you are Republican politicians. Ever time you open your mouth, you make us Democrats look better and better.
And if you think you've got all the answers, maybe you should run for president. Somehow, I don't think that's going to happen.
This guy still matters?
So the most powerful man in the world is afraid of a large biggoted close minded fool. Right.
Does anyone still care what Limbaugh says? Does he ever say anything new?
Rush, you are your BIGGEST fan. No one is scared of you. I promise you. We all just wish you would go away.
The simple fact that President Obama mentioned Mr. Limbaugh by name is sufficient to demonstrate that the President does indeed fear Mr. Limbaugh or at the very least feels the need to marginalize him. What I find astounding is that someone as intelligent as the President is alleged to be, must surely know that attacks on Mr. Limbaugh will serve only to strengthen the resolve of those opposed to his ideology. The President and his advisors would do well to remember that 58 Million Americans did not want him in the White House.
Why would Obama wish to silence a voice? The greatest thing about our country is that we can and should listen to voices from all over the political spectrum and then make decisions about how to vote. Agree or don't agree with Limbaugh.. fine. The fact is, there must be something to what he is saying otherwise he wouldn't have one of the the most popular talk radio shows on.. Attack his ideas.. not the man for having and promoting them. If you listen to him with an open mind (aren't libs supposed to be open-minded?), you might find there is actually a lot of truth to what he says. And if there isn't, why be so threatened or outraged?
Rush Limbaugh,
How can a man that has so many ideas about our country say that Obama is frightened. Limbaugh why havent you ran for office and put your ideas in motion. Mr. Limbaugh answer this question, for a man that has years of reporting over the state of this country and knows truly what will work and what doesn't by following the trail of history, how about you on the air, tell the United States what will be the answer to every issue that the world has. Remember get it right, and don't be frightened of the U.S. listeners. You have to understand, The President is trying to come up with a solution to everything and we all have to help in any kind of way that we know how. Unlike you, we the people don't want him to fail.
Rush Limbaugh who? That's exactly what Obama is asking. Obama has the world weight on his shoulders and WE including Obama don't have time for Rush LimBAUGH. Go eat another pound cake!
Bottom line, he's our president...ACCEPT (or NOT) it and shut up. CNN please stop giving him air time, blog time or any kind of time...I can think of 101 more interesting topics to report on.
May God Bless America & Obama.
Rush,along with his half brother Carl Rove,should be in gitmo.Rush called for riots and bloodshed at the Democrat Convention.I remember it.
Proposal: The Obama-Limbaugh Bipartisan Stimulus Plan of 2009
Check it out on Rush's homepage, might learn something
This guy gets more pathetic each day and his followers seem to hang on to his every word like little children. Unfortunately this convicted felon still does not get it !!! American's have overwhemingly rejected his brand of logic.
BTW I am not a DEMor GOP follower; I am an independent thinker. If Blow-bag is so smart why doesn't he run for higher office obvisously he knows everything. His running mate could be that know-all Hannity
Sick of negative commentators.
Too wish that the President fails, is to wish that America fails. How anti-american! Rush should go do his show in Afganistan or Iraq, where his freaking comments would be valuable. Our President is afraid of no one. All of our Presidents are great men of strength and integrity. Did all of them make the right decision? No but all of them did make decisions on the best interests of America. Rush Limbaugh isn't practicing conservatism, he is practicing hate. I wouldn't be amazed to find out he is in the Klan.
Rush Limbaugh. I did not realize he was still around til recently. And still a totally incendiary, showboat....who I wish would just shut it. Maybe one day...he will just go away.
Rush rhymes with Flush. And you know what that means.
Oyxcotion moron...why listen to his crap any more! If ever...conservatives keep doing this and they believe their crap...but do the things they PREACH against...Jesus was a community organizer... not a decisive human!
To Whom This May Concern;
Mr. Limbaugh has long suffered the illusion that he is the grand pu-bah of the Right and the Conservative Republican Party in general. His commentary has always been hateful and one-sided. This is typical of the type of small mind that inhabits the body of an adult who can't get over loosing whatever contest he's in.
His remarks about wanting President Obama to "fail" are similar to his remarks about the, ".........White House being held hostage." during the Clinton administration. But what Mr. Limbaugh may not have taken into consideration is that his remarks also indicate that he would like the American people to "fail" as well! Maybe he just doesn't get it. All of us are in this situation that his "hero", George W. Bush allowed.
If you don't like the present situation or our countries new President Mr. Limbaugh, maybe you should go somewhere else to live and spout your hatetred there. I'm sure you and the Iranian, North Korean, or other "goose stepping" cultures can find a ready made audience behind the barbed wire.
I don't like Rush in particular, nor Obama – but Rush is right...
Obama will be proven a hypocrite for his rhetoric
It is amazing how for the last 8 years it was OK to call the President of the United States anything and everthing. But, don't disagree with Obama. Or speak your mind, because no one can say anything against him. Some of us haven't drank the koolaid.
I hear name calling from all sides. "Love" Rush or "Hate" Rush isn't none of my partaking. His rhetoric is irelevent. My concern is the ability of the people is to see such rubbish and press further. The luxuries of recent glory has faded. Work and perserverance has fallen, like past generations of American past. So the expressions and self-righteosness of one guy, who chooses fearful and divisive tactics to empower his thought, shouldn't derail the need to advance American enlightenment.
WHO?
RUSH, two words.......HE WON!
I have no idea why Rush Lim"baster" thinks he has something of importance to share with the American people.
Apparently he loves to hear his own words, whether he has anything meaningful to say or not, it doesn't matter.
Most of his rantings could just as well have been written for the Enquirer or similar type , so called newspapers.
The shame of all this, is that here is a commentator being paid millions for absolute crap while others are losing their homes, jobs and livelihood.
What a terrible waste of time to listen to this drug addicted piece of fecal material. Limbaugh contributes nothing to society but hatred. He is proof that there is a devil.
If this man is indicative of the voice and reasoning of the Republican Party then it is very understandable their lose this election time. It also shows his self-centered un-American ways. I did not vote for Mr. Bush but when he was president he was my president and I wanted him and America to suceed whether I agreed with his policeis or not. This man is truly a racist and as un-Aamerican as any one can get.
Charlie from Maine can't spell, and, like most of the lib commenters on here... he must be a pill-popping clown that eats too many cheeseburgers, hence he is fat, and he will go to hell, is a loud mouth idiot, a gas bag, venemous, a drug addict, unamerican, and likes to spread hatred. I don't see Charlie on any ballot for president or any other office. Obama is not afraid of Charlie! Charlie is a tool! Charlie is an ignorant, red-neck, gun-totting, Bible thumping yokel. Charlie is a loud mouth narcissist SOB. Charlie is s unamerican and a traitor to this country. Charlie is in extinction, Rush is still thrashing around in the sewer. I just wish the alligators would get him. Even more sad is that there are people out there who still think he has something to say. That's more scary.
Limbaugh is a joke! His ego is that inflated he believes that the leader of the free world really gives a rat's ...about him! Obama may be concerned about Limbaughs NAZI sympathies though. Or didn't you know?
I doubt Obama is afraid of Rush, but it is definitely plausible he is afraid of dissent against his policies. Woe to anyone who dares to question the pronunciations of "fact" from this Administration: you will be branded as either racist, un-American, or be subject to the rude and idiotic comments of far-left partisans (see below)
Is Rush back on the pills?
I love Gibbs resopnse to this! Tell him "hi" which in this case has a lot of meaning. It tells Rush and everyone else that agrees with him that Obama doesn't care what he says otherwise he would make his case against him.
Doctors have speculated that drug abuse fries brain cells ... And there you have it ... No more speculation
Hannity+Rush+Beck=Palin
Limbaugh must still be taking Vicodin.. Now, didn't we just finish with a Republican administration that has left us in the mess.

Rush Limbaugh : Largest talk show audience with 20 million listeners and growing!! How do you Libs explain that???
-------------------------------–
20 million people who are either stupid and/or only get one station on their radio?
Why am I not surprised that in this article and like everywhere else Limbaugh's words are taken out of context. When asked if wanted Obama to fail he said, as a conservative, that he hoped Obama's liberal policy fails.
Any Liberal would want a Conservative President to fail in policy, so why the outrage with Limbaugh's words?
Keyword here, POLICY.
How do liverals explain that Rush Limpbaugh has 15 million viewers. Simple enough. 15 million idiots in this country. Plus the big fat one?
Limbaugh is getting paid about 10-15 million dollars a year to keep people stirred up – so is Sean Hannity.
They are the voices for the idiots.
Anyway, those 2 caused millions ofpeople to flock to the polls to vote for Obama, me being one.
So, let them spew their filth – theres another election coming up.
Poor Rush. He's a legend in his own mind.
Any one would be afraid of a raging drug abuser out on the streets
The only reason I stoped listening 740 AM, is because of this old ignorant idiot, boicot his network until they kick him out, and then, where is going to have the money to buy his drugs ? poor bastard
as far as i am concerned,rush limbaugh just wants to hear his name heard alongside Barack Obama.rush limbaugh is such a sad case.wow
Yup. Obama is definitely afraid of a prescription drug junkie, alright.
First, I am not Democrat or Republican, but a true conservative, It is easy to see in these comments, you Democratic/Socialist types refuse to look and listen to opposing points of view whatsoever. I want our country to get through these trying times and return to prosperity. You would do well to monitor all the "change" coming up that you voted for, and take some notes, so that in a few years you will be able to track the erosion of your first and second ammendment rights, blatent disregard for the constitution (already has taken place) and just how detrimental socialism is for a democracy.
Peace and Love to all!
THE MOST POWERFUL PRESIDENT OF THE MOST POWERFUL NATION OF THE WORLD, CANNOT BE FRIGHTENED BY LIMBAUGH POOP EATING COCKROACH.
I am glad that Limbaugh is speaking out, as radical and boisterous as he may be. Why? Because I feel I am witnessing a sleepwalking America that has given up its critical faculties in the wake of Obama's arrival. His inauguration speech was...a speech...I yawned at the cliches. More telling, his nomination of Geitner as Treaury Secretary was abominable and hypocritical. What a start...to nominate a guy who "forgot" to cough up $34,000 bucks on his federal taxes. Ah, but we can overlook that, right? Congress is about to. You see, Obama is now your emperor. With fear, he will sway U.S. suckers to print a TRILLION dollars on an economic plan that major economist imply is either a shot in the dark or a waste of money. Ah, but Obama will save us, right? The banks got their money...but still are not lending to qualified people. A year from now, you will find Americans more cynical about their government than ever before. Good for you, Limbaugh...perhaps you have made at least a few souls step back from their hypnotic trance. I understand you when you say you hope "he will fail." His bipartisanship is a smokescreen...and this green (black) ideologue is shooting in the dark. Let us hope that there will be some souls in Congress who will have the courage to challenge the current economic "solution" which is sure to see the taxpayers dollars (along with who knows how many millions of newly printed bills) do little more than try to appease the public for a short while.
From an Independent's perspective, it is unfortunate that the extreme fringes of the two main political parties will continue to tear down the other side without understanding the (positive) core values of each political party. In the case of Mr. Limbaugh, I wonder what Bible he reads and/or religion he practices? Could it be the way over to the extreme far right? I wonder... Fortunately – I believe – an overwhelming majority of voters spoke loud and clear – YES WE CAN!
Poor pathetic Limbaugh.
Here's a word of advice to Limbaugh. Give it a rest. If you are not happy with the way things are in the United States, then move! It's really that simple. Can we please move on to bigger and better things than having to deal with this guy's constant whining? Can I get a "ditto"?
I just want someone to tell me what a blowheart is.
I think it's time for the IRS and the FBI to check up on humpty dumpty and his personal holdings... As tax payer you have my blessings and permission…
Talk about being desperate. Rush, is the most desperate. Too bad you racist.
STUPID! DICTATOR!
The President is telling people not to listen to a radio host!?!
Will the President tell people not to listen to the local guy on the corner every Tuesday afternoon? Why not a CNN host or local TV station? A president stooped to this level – stupid.
Essentially, the President chided them that if they listen to idiots they wll act it. If you want to get along with US, you must think and do like US Dems. Where's the rationale? Ask this: Why can't Dems try to get along with Reps and why can't Reps be Reps and not Dem-lites?
This guy is the real domestic terrorist.
Limbaugh is a tool. Mr. Obama is about as afraid of Limbaugh, as Limbaugh is of eating a donut or taking drugs. Sheesh, Limbaugh needs to just simply shut his fat yap yap for awhile. There's nothing of relevance coming out of it, only more useless hot air. He needs to grow up, and he's jealous of the fact that someone of more color other that Limbaugh's pasty white backside and of more substance got elected. Limbaugh just wants more of the same, which is why the US is in the economic situation it's in.
Limbaugh = 20,000,000 listeners (how many agree with him?).
Obama = 69,456,897 votes.
No wonder Rush is scared and takes Viagra to the Dominican Republic.
Washed up and strung out.
Talkin' loud and sayin' nuthin'.
Obama just took on the wrong guy!!
Question, Whats the difference between Limbaugh and Blagojevich....................Nada! ;-}
Silly old Lamebaughls is the one afraid. He's just having a little conservative-style tantrum because he can't handle the public actually listinening to something not totally pro-corporarate and anti-people.
Obama just took on the wrong guy!!
Rush get lost. You are no good for our country. You are a selfish shameless cocaine user. We may have to organize boycott on you so that you know the power of the people.
Let's see, Obama is a heavy weight boxer.
Limbaugh is a skinny 20 year old nerd.
McConnell is a 5 year old.
Yes, I would say that Obama would be more justified in being scared of the 20 year old skinny nerd than the 5 year.
Limbaugh's comment on President Obama being "afraid of him" was really sad, but, if you think about it,we all should be "afraid" of Limbaugh, he is not a sane person!!
His comment that he wants the President "to fail" just showes that he is not aware that he(Limbaugh) is the one, that has failed himself and his Country!!
What's the matter Rush, have you become so insignificant that you need to create press?
Time to move to Crawford with the other unimportant Republican and retire.
*** He, Limbaugh, sounds like he has PTSD ***
Rush you're just not that lovable. It's fun to watch you flatter yourself so much though. Rush and Blago=twins separated at birth?? LOL
Rush is the one that is afraid. If he doesn't get his Oxy., he might remember that he is the scum of the earth.
Limbaugh is right. Obama also said that people like Rush could stall things, which could cause him to lose re-election.
Hey Rush. How many drugs have you been taking? I think all that valium, viagra, celebrex, and oxi has really gotten to that tiny brain of yours. What's wrong bubba? Run out of things to say? Must be tough to not have your favorite bungler in the White House anymore. Tell you what. Why don't you apply that great American characteristic (and I really mean this) and LET IT GO YOU MORON! YOU LOST! MOVE ON!
SO HERES ONE FOR YOU.
DO YOU ALL BELEIVE INTHE CONSTITURION?
IF YOU DONT LIKE RUSH–DONT LISTEN
BUT I DARE YOU TO FIND A LIBERAL TALK SHOW HOST
WITH AN AUDIENCE OF 20 MIL AND GROWING. THE NUMBERS DEFEND THEMSELVES.
HERES AND IDEA–GET AL FRANKEN BACK- IM SURE HELL DO YOU AL JUSTICE
Rush is a joke, he knows nothing and is an unpatriotic racist scumbag!
walter I would say a lot of people that listen to him hate him. He is so crazy that its Entertaining to listen. If you actually take truth in anything he says, you need help...
Rush, you are the king of stat twisting. You love to manipulate the minds of naive Americans, but slowly but surely you will be proven wrong once after all. If this election isn't a statement in and of itself, I don't know what is. Shame on your for playing a major role in dividing America.
Your brand of divisive, hateful conservatism is dead. With all due respect, much of America won't be sad when you're dead.
Good riddance in advance.
PS I'm ashamed to say you're from Missouri. You surely don't represent my views. You're pathetic.
Big mouth don't make a big man.
Limbaugh said he wants Obama to fail.
Obama = Socialism.
Limba wants Socialism to fail.
And it will... just like every other Socialist country.
If Obama is to succed, he needs to embrace free market capitalism.
This is why Limbaugh want's Obama to fail.
What a Great American .. Limbaugh I mean.
Nobody is afraid of Rush...all he has is his ego and the ignorant people that listen only to his show and not others...think for yourself...this guy is an idiot...maybe he should take some Oxy and hang out with his maid...
Hey fat boy, Im not afraid of you, Wanna get together? I put my life on it that most of the things you say behind that mic, you wouldn't say to my face. Let's see who's afraid.
Going by the guys double chin I think he meant "Cheeseburgers are rightened of me".
Actually, I'm kind of scared of his followers. I was also scared of those who followed Jim Jones. And those who think Osama bin Ladin is too cool for words. I would have been scared of Hitler's fans, too. They're scary... well, I don't need to explain, do I? This twit is so obviously narcissistic and so obviously negative, as he tries to engrandize himself. Follow him, & you're just like him.
In your dreams, Limbaugh!
The liberal left seems to be overpopulated with people breaking the bank with IQ. From what I have read, Obama may actually be the most intelligent person that has ever lived. Why does intelligence/high IQ combined with liberalism equal broke.? Obama, a little more than one year ago was driving around in a rust bucket car, and still had outstanding student loans, is the presidency his first paying job? Rush, a dropout dufus, will earn more money this year than Obama will in his entire life, even at the Clinton post presidency rate of $1 million a speech. The smartest people in the world have elected a president with no clue as to how to make a profit in business, and entrusted him, and his tax cheat treasury secretary to solve our economic crisis. God help us all!
why doesn't rush enlist in the army and go to iraq? practice what you preach dummy! i just don't get these republicans that went after anyone who even 'disrespected' bush and calling them un-american, and yet, they're doing the exact same thing to our president who's a democrat. rush limbaugh is a drug addict who needs even more meds and i hope he gets taxed to the fullest. he's just mad that bush's tax breaks for the wealthy will be reversed and that he'll have to start paying taxes again like the rest of us.
Delusional much Rush?
No one's afraid of you, except maybe your dealer if you get arrested again.
The sheer amount of hate comments on here is a compliment to rush.
he is putting extreme amounts of fear into all of you socialist liberal democrats. The fact that so many of you are so annoyed and irritated by his comments tickles my belly. Im glad socialist don't agree with him, other wise i might stop listening to his radio show. 20 million strong.
Limbaugh is a chunky junkie.
All Rush needs is a swastika. He reminds me of Joseph Goebbels, Hitler's propaganda minister. Goebbels kept telling lies until the German people started believing them.
Limbaugh does the same, spewing his line of hate, lies, deceptions and exaggerations day after day. The ignorant, the racists and the rednecks of the world want to believe him. They're stoked up on hate and, unfortunately, inaccurate religious beliefs.
This egotistical FREAK OF NATURE needs to go away like his bro Dick Cheney did-He is repulsive, anti-American, and WRONG all the time---wait-maybe he IS Dick Cheney!!
Who wouldn't be frightened of someone that ugly?
You guys down there have got to get a grip! Stop letting celebs like Limbaugh, Winfrey and O'Donnell do your thinking for you. Unite as a common people and put your country back on track. Get back the respect and admiration you've lost from the rest of the world.
give him more drugs!!!
I'm no fan of Barack Obama. I think hero worship is a fool's delusion. But I can't imagine anyone – especially President Obama – being afraid of Rush Limbaugh. Let's face it. Anyone who calls his audience "ditto heads" has a problem dealing with real humans.
It's a good thing this racist jerk can't produced children, when he is dead and gone he will truly be gone with no legacy
As a Libertarian who voted for Obama I urge folks to do their own fact-checking and actually listen to all sides before ranting. Maybe even listen to those you think you know all about. CNN should tell the whole story! Rush said he wants our country to succeed, but if success for Obama means the Socialization of our country's economic policy then he doesn't want that to succeed because it is against Conservative economic policy and the core set of ideas this country was founded upon. Learn your Constitution and see that the founder's intent was to give the power to the States, not a large powerful Federal Government which was what they were fleeing. Folks hate him and ignore the fact that he stands for our founding principles. There are too few readers in this country.
The big question is where does Rush get his "extra" millions from, people. Think about who it is that profits from his hate speak. To even suggest he says anything worth responding to really isn't the point. His history of drug use is primarily so he can stand being himself. Think about the self-loathing Rush has to stomach every day. But, he does get paid for all that hate speak. Time to take that trip down the yellow brick road and pull back the curtain in the Emerald City.
LIMBAUGH...... LOOK AT YOU FACE IN THE MIRROR...... YOU LOOK LIKE A PIG'S TESTICLE......
Rush is just trying to stay relevant. If we enter a period of bipartisanship and it works Rush is out of a job.
Limbaugh is pure entertainment at its lowest common denominator. Remember, this is the guy who on his TV show made a point of boiling a lobster to get a reaction(?)....can we take anything this guy says seriously. He should thank Obama for keeping him employed.
At this point the man seems desperate. People close to him should watch closely. He could be heading for a relapse. Oh, that's right, he's also someone who has dealt with addiction to pain meds.....
To Aron in Ohio, Man you took the words right out of my mouth. The words that was spoken by limbaugh do sound like words of a traitor.
If this man had any decency, he would use the air time to help build back up our beloved country in stead of spreading venom like he is doing. I don' t get into politics, but I had to voice my comments on the behalf of our great country. I still can't get over the fact this so called man want to see our President and country fail. What a shame in this day and time we still have people thinking the way this racist, bigot and hate monger think. You know, I wonder what he would do when the time come for his demise and is buried next to a democrat and some how he will have a way of knowing it (surprise). Aw shucks, now he might want to be cremated. Limbaugh, are you getting the messages from all these people that are responding to your foul mouth, people are fed up with the hatred you & others like you on these talk radio shows that vomit out this kind of garbage. Sponsors, save you money I believe you are going to need it after what was said by limbaugh. Remember the economy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Even Gov Arnold in California – A Republican called Limbaugh IRRELEVANT. He is nothing but a shameless junkie with a mic., He deserves to be in jail for drug fraud. Only in America could a moron like that remain on radio
deport rush to iraq!
Obama is the best thing that could have happened for Limbaugh. He now can be against something again. This is how he makes money. He has no real answers, wields no real power, and harms rather than hurts our nation with divisive and bombastic speech designed to fatten his wallet.
Two things:
1) You can't blame a guy for being leery of a drug addict – you never know what they're going to do in their desperation.
2) We should investigate whether Rush might be an al Queda operative. He wants the president and thus, the nation to fail. He is the most un-American person I have seen get news since Osama bin Laden.
Some people need to just shut their fat,stupid,balding,ignorant,nasty and ugly mouths up Limbaugh makes me want to puke at the slightest sound of his voice
Rush you're an idiot. Please rename your talk show, Radio for idiots without brains.
I'm pretty sure Obama is worrying about "big boy" problems, and real politicians, and not a shock jock like Limbaugh. Limbaugh should feel honored that Obama even knows his name. Know your roll Rush, go back to Hollywood and let the real politicians run Washington.
Most people who listen to Rush are crazy, who in their right mind listens to this cracker jack ,who pops pills to keep his sanity, anyway?my suggestion, CNN report on the real issues, so that Americans can be more educated about the governments as democracy is useless when people are illiterate or stupid.
To that effect, CNN might want to look at Financial times or even BBC which stay away from sensationalized nonsence and stop using media for divisiveness.
I think that Obama's actions with the GOP will speak louder than Rush's unpatriotic words. I'm not sure what is motivating Rush – publicity, anger, whatever, but he will be proved to be the fool and left behind as this nation unifies....
I like obtaining different sources for information/news because the local news can be extremely lopsided and limited.
If you do not like what a person says, discuss the matter if it's worthy of your time or don't listen. There is no need to put down or call names; you lose in rationale and debates if you do.
Does Obama want to kill free speech on the radio just as Pelosi does? Will Obama next tell Rush, "You can speak all you want, but is anyone listening?" Liberal radio keeps kicking the bucket,; Rush did'nt. Who else is to shut up? What issues can't be discussed?
Obama just put others down to prop himself and others up. This is called bullying and puts everyone down.
I've been listening to Rush since he was on radio. I've seen him go from a very information man to a weak minded blowhard who should just get his stupid cigars and go sit on the beach and rot!!!!
Of course he wants Barack to fail...
Cos'...what if he succeeds ?!
Hush Rush, I doubt that Pres Obama has time for your nonsense. He knows you are looking to get back in anyway you can!.
Quote from: walter January 26th, 2009 8:58 pm ET
"Rush Limbaugh : Largest talk show audience with 20 million listeners and growing!! How do you Libs explain that???"
There really is no explanation for how 20 million people can be so dumb.
And he is afraid of a Pharmacist.
Limbaugh makes money by making outlandish overstatement and half truths to get attention. It saddens me to hear that there are so many naive and gullible people in the US willingly to support his habits. My guess is our president is as frightful of Limbaugh as a barking dog! On second thought, I don't consider him as an American.
The President was not warning the Republican leadership out of fear of the man but of fear for the country. The United States does not need our leaders to take advise from a fool, whos facts are often fiction and who has stated that he wants the President of the United States of America to fail. He doesn't say this for the good of his country, but for ratings, for himself.
The American people desaerve better and our leaders know that. The President is asking these men to put our country above themselves and not do as some have done, putting themselves above their country.
I'm not a fan of Rush, but this is exactly what he wants. All of you have commented both favorably and unfavorably about this dude. The bottom line is that we really need to move on. Rush is not going away any time soon, and as long as you fuel his fire, he'll be lit up forever.
President Obama, I salute you on your efforts for trying to usher in a bipartisan effort. After all, everyone really wants the same outcome. There are just different opinions of how to get there. Keep pushing for it and you won't fail.
Rush & Hanity = Extreme Fanatic & Lunatic Right wing Racist Neo-con.
Everyone should be scared of them.
Rush, go back to Kansas City
Rush – You are narrow minded person, you have no vision and you will see What Obama will do in 1 year will be more than Bush in his 8 years.
Obama is a man of his words and he will be a President we all will be proud of like Clinton.
Rush is a far cry from an intellectual heavyweight. No one is frightened of him, with the possible exception of his housekeeper should she fail to bring back his "cabbage". A Rush suffering from Oxycontin withdrawl is probably something one would want to avoid.
Mr. Limbaugh,
You must be a member of a the Nazi left over era. You are dispicable member of our society. Shame on you.
Mrs. Sturgill
The guy has not even started to work he has all kinds of negative comments to say about him. I don't get this we're telling other country how they need to love each other and make peace and we've got a guy who does not have a college degree, a drug addict with no moral telling people what to think, how to behave and how to react. Seriously people whether you are a democrats or republicans please stop thinking they way Rush think nobody wants to divide this country again. Limbaugh does nothing for this country besides running his mouth trying to creat division and making lots of money. $30 millions a year people remember this is what he gets plus bonus. All he does is sit in his little room and spread hate and anger. Anyone who listens to that fool is an idiot just like him. Sorry Limbaugh we are smarter than you. Obama is not affraid of you. Obama is telling the world to make peace something you don't know how to do or at least have the knowledge to think like a educated person. Shame on you! all you care about is money and your drug. you don't care about this country.
You wish Obama was frightened of you, toolbag.
rush? paranoid idiot.
paranoid idiot.
Rush has been getting high every since jan 20th. This slob will hit bottom real soon. I'm wait for him to kick away the chair
