GOP leaders have been loathe to criticize Rush Limbaugh -- but House Minority Whip Eric Cantor (R-Va.) is taking issue with Limbaugh's claim that President Obama's push for health care was comparable to Hitler's stranglehold on Germany.

Cantor obviously misses the point that Rush was trying to make.

This is what happens when citizens keep re-electing the same idiots and expecting different results.
I'm more in favor of congressional term limits now then I have ever been.

Keeping in mind that I unfortunately live in the district of THE most liberal congressman on the Hill, Lloyd Doggett I believe he KNOWS what the people want but he doesn't care.
At one of the town hall meetings he was asked if the people in his district told him they did NOT want health care pushed down their throats, what would he do and he answered "I'd vote for it anyway".
'Nuf said.

When libs protested on capitol hill about 5 years ago, they yeilded signs referring to Bush as Hitler - Rush and S.H. both went on record to say that the hatred displayed by such protests was extreme and immoral. What a hypocrite. And yet, you loyal followers can't get enough. Aren't you all tired of hearing these "shock jocks" (as I lovingly refer to them) shove their nonsense down your throats? Are you truly convinced these guys are "loyal americans" / "patriots" ??? Can't you see through Glen Beck's phony tears? I mean, the fact that people are still falling for the load of sh*t song and dance is unbelievable. Do you know that Glen Beck got started in conservative talk radio because his station manager told him that he had to in order to compete with their rival station. HE WASN'T EVEN A CONSERVATIVE at that point in his life. So what do Beck, Hannity, and Rush all have in common? It's not their ability to preach the good word of conservatism and their patriotic natures - It's that they all have the uncanny ability to BS and shock their way to a huge paycheck in the same way Howard Stern and Bubba the LoveSponge do - just a different topic. Here's a tip - COME UP WITH YOUR OWN OPINION!!! It's going to be tough to get a nation behind your ideals and ideas when your leader is a radio personality.

Oh look another troll. Goodie.

You've resorted to calling me a troll. Great. Could you please share with me the difference betweens libs calling Bush Hitler and Reps calling Obama Hitler? Why does Rush think it's immoral when libs do it but patriotic when Reps do? Any opinion on your end or just another name for me?

Says the troll with the seminar caller rant. :whatever:

Rush isn't our leader you dottering idiot. He's an outlet...a voice for how the majority of Americans feel and think...nothing more...nothing less.
And I'd rather have someone like Rush rally a nation behind a set of Reagan era ideals than a fu*king community organizer with ZERO experience in politics and ties to the most radical elements in this country.

I call it like I see it meathead. You show up here mocking the people on this board in one of your first posts.
You tell me.
Your reading and listening comprehension sucks as bad as Cantor's apparently.
Rush never called Obama Hitler.
But then you'd know that if you actually listened to the show instead of getting your misinformation second hand from Media Mutters.

LaRouche, LaRouche...why does that name ring a bell? Oh yeah--the guy has been running for President AS A ****ING DEMOCRAT since before I was born!
-
I have listened to Rush everyday for over 5 years. Argue semantics if you want but the comparison was there - but you're right - he never specifically said that Obama is a reincarnation of Hitler.

Sure you do troll. Sure you do.
That's why you think that we'd all automatically like BOR just cause he's on FNC.
You've formed your opinions of Republicans and Conservatives from your idiotic friends at Kos and HuffPo.

Kind of like Marueen...Dowd and her, "You lie, BOY!" column. Nothing like putting words in other people's mouths, is there?
-
to Rush - on my local radio station every day - yes - it's possible for a lib to listen - dont agree - but listen
Evryone is concerned with Obama's experience? WHAT ABOUT PALIN?? She herself stated that she knew foreign policy because she shares shipping lines with Russia! Are you serious???

She knew foreign policy better than Obama, and still does.

You can draw parallels between what Obama is doing and a few policies Hitler enacted. Can you between Bush and Hitler?
I'll be waiting.
Oh, and FTR, I prefer Neal Boortz.

Here's a tip - COME UP WITH YOUR OWN OPINION!!!
Uhh.... Radio personalities don't form my opinion for me. Now, if they happen to say things with which I agree, which is what happened with conservative radio, then to claim these individuals are forming my opinion is dishonest.
You might want to start over. So far you're batting .000, and it's getting worse.

NHSparky - Could you please logically explain to me how Palin is more experienced or better versed in Foreign Policy than Obama. You made a statement and I would really love to hear your reasoning as to why that is the case.......... I'll be waiting
-
Then I refer you to the specific qualifications based upon experience.
Prior to the 2008 elections, what experience did Obama have in dealing with foreign governments?
(crickets)
Prior to the 2008 elections, what experience did Palin have in dealing with foreign governments?
Hmmm...how about fishing rights with the Russians, Canadians, and Japanese, pipeline issues with the Canadians, etc?

I will, but first you have to explain to me how Obama was qualified for, well, anything.
Do you want to also talk about who was more qualified to be CinC? Head executive?
-
That whole question was taking out of context. Rush was responding to Pelosi lickening the tea party protestors to Nazi. Canton SHOULD'VE have told that reporter to go **** himself.

How about the fact she's been a mayor and governor?
Her state does business with foreign countries because of their oil terminals and fishing industry
She has more foreign policy in her little finger than Obama has in his entire body.

Are you trying to compare a GOVERNOR of a US State to a chicago slum community organizer? :lmao: Try again rookie.

Huge difference....... Palin wasn't running for POTUS !!! And, besides the point, what the others have said stands true. Hmmm.... Community Organizer (or State Senator that voted "present" most of the time, you pick) vs Governor ..... I dunno.....

No. He's right.

No dipshit, he's wrong. People don't quote Rush here. They quote lib talk show hosts like Malloy, Maddow, etc. at DU.
We only listen to talk radio because it falls somewhat in line with what we believe. My favorite is Boortz, though I disagree with him at times. I disagree with Rush as well, on a greater scale. I'm fiscally conservative as hell, militarily don't **** with us, and socially libertarian. I started this site.
Now, what say you, single cell?

My response was quick and lazy. I probably should have said that I agree with much of what he said. He did overstate things a bit. I would call Rush and Beck entertainers, however, I think they are true believers.
I've listened to Rush, on and off, since 1992. As much as I like Rush, I think he slips into demagoguery much of the time. He can still be funny as hell.
I can take Beck for only a few minutes at a time. He's too super-caffeinated.
Hannity is a different story entirely. He's totally devoid of original thought. The fact that his radio and TV talk shows have large audiences is a mystery to me.
-

He's not a bad person. He has a different point of view.

I've been on several boards over the years. I find that quite a few people put great stock in what a radio talk show host says. I'm willing to admit that I may have unfairly thought that of the people here.

I've never listened to Rush with the exception of walking through an area at work where someone listens to him, or listening to an occasional clip online.

Given the fact that I could be anywhere in the plant at any given time, and streaming is a big no-no, my exposure to Rush is pretty much nil.

I didn't look at Hutch's posting history last night. I just now did.
It looks like he's a lib. I wouldn't call him a troll yet, though. I think it's interesting to hear a person with an opposite point of view and debate with him.

I suspect that the membership is reacting to the fact that we have had an influx of "seagull" posters lately of the liberal persuasion, who, without really taking time to announce themselves in a welcome thread, just jump in, take a dump in a discussion, and fly away, or hang around for a few days starting several threads to stir up crap, and disappear when confronted......nothing personal.......
We have these little invasions from time to time, usually when school is out, or during "teachers meeting weeks", when the adolescents have extra time on their hands.......

Rush was dead on with the Hitler comparison. However, he would have been more accurate if he had said Obama and democrat party. The platform of today's democrat party reads like Hitler 1920 NSDAP platform.

Let see. Obama was a community organizer and a lecturer. Not a lot of real world experience. Also, he ran as President.
-
So you've claimed you've listened to Rush, Hannity, AND Levin every day for five years now.
Nine hours a day, five days a week?
I call bullshit.
I've done it for years. WMAL 630am radio here in DC! Rush and Hannity from noon to six and Levin on my drive home. I am not glued to the radio but the shows are on and I listen. You don't think an audience of 20 million(Rush) and an audience of 10 million Hannity and an audience of 7 million don't overlapp???
-
I didn't say the audiences don't overlap, genius.
Nine hours a day? And you can spare the time to listen while you work? Damn, must be a nice, cush job.
And frankly, Hannity bores the shit outta me. Guy has the same points every single time I try to turn him on. He's listenable for about 15 minutes at a time, tops. Rush, a bit more, but I don't have the luxury you do of sitting on my ass all day.
-
I'm retired, so I can listen all day long if I wish. But sometimes it gets to be too much.
Right now, I'm into my sixth week of detoxing from talk radio. I'll probably start listening again in the future, but at the moment I don't miss it at all.

Agreed concerning Hannity. I listened for about 5 minutes this morning and it was pretty lame. He doesn't lay out arguments very well, preferring to jump from talking point to talking point. Rush is funny in my opinion, but I've probably listened to him for a combined 35 minutes in my life, more or less. I think I'll just stick to the bluegrass channel.
-
That's what Sirius is for. 100-plus channels.
-
I recently started listening to Rush and Levin during my commutes...( I work evenings) Both have loads of commercials, so I often switch to music.
I prefer Mark Levin...but Rush hits lots of good points....
I watch FOX when I get home from work, and Hannity is usually on.
I read and post on here during my slow time at work.
Oh dear, I guess I'm a bit of a political junkie... :shucks:
