Be skeptical when Limbaugh seems to be saying something blatantly (in your mind) racist, chances are you are being tricked.
Let me get this straight: you mean - Limbaugh is just pretending to be a bigoted, hateful gas-bag? In order to be worshipped by ditto-heads? Who apparently admire bigoted, hateful gas-baggery?
Yeah, someone as been tricked and 'tweeted,' alright.
Beksbks / Bizzbee,
In truth, I just don’t think you are able to understand. I don’t mean that as an insult in any way, just an observation. It has nothing to do with intelligence but with your experience and current worldview.
As for Rush Limbaugh, when I say he likes to tweak, I mean he likes to agitate, piss-off, disturb, annoy etc., and his audience is not his target at all. His audience is not tweaked, they largely agree with much of what he has to say, it’s the media and those of a staunchly liberal mindset that he tweaks, and quite well I might add. Since his last tweak, he has had several media outlets talking about him non-stop (free publicity for his show). People get curious, they tune in to his show, his ratings go sky-high and he get’s to have a 50 million dollar a year salary.
Rush wins.
Here is a quick quiz.
Which of these statements are the most racist?
a.) Black people commit substantiality more crimes then white people.
b.) Black girls have substantiality more illegitimate children then white girls.
c.) Black men abandon their own children at a substantiality higher rate then white men do.
Answer: None of the above are racist statements at all. In fact they are 100% true.
He uses stuff like this all the time to trip people up; he knows which buttons to push!
Get the point; he is a master at this, and you are playing his game on his turf. No disrespect meant, but most people of a liberal persuasion are simply outgunned.

Rush wins.
So when Limbaugh accuses President Obama of exploiting an earthquake that has killed upwards of 50-100 thousand people and indescribable suffering of hundred of thousands more for political gain, you're saying that it is actually Limbaugh who is exploiting this tragedy for free publicity in order to maintain his $50M annual salary?
And you're saying this does not make him a despicable ass?
To bad Coakly doesn't have ACORN to give fraudulent votes for her like OBAMA did.
I've got to agree with freeman on the Rush comments. I believe that if he lost his job and a liberal station offered him a new job a few years down the road when he had spent all his money on oxy he would be singing the opposite tune. It is his job to stir up the pot...it is what gets the ratings. Not to say that he doesn't want to make me puke but more for the poor people that actually hang on every word.
Limbaugh does what Limbaugh does. His salary is based on the fact that he is the best at what he does, based on the revenue he generates, he certainly deserves it 50 million.
I’m not saying that it is actually Limbaugh who is exploiting this tragedy for free publicity in order to maintain his $50M annual salary.
First it’s not exploitation; it’s a consequence of his high ratings, which folks like you make possible.
Second, you may find it deplorable that he is accusing the president of using a tragedy for political gain, but the fact is if the president can use it to his advantage, he will. What about this person would make me believe otherwise?
Obama didn’t engineer this tragedy, he didn’t wish for this tragedy to happen, however if you think the Whitehouse think-tank which includes the president himself isn’t considering all the political angles involved and how best to use them, then I have a bridge in Brooklyn for sale that you may be interested in. That’s Chicago style hardball politics, it ain’t pretty, I find it loathsome myself, but its reality, politicians do/say/think politics 24/7.
Limbaugh calls them just like he sees them, and he makes a lot of money doing it with talent on loan from God, I call them as I see them too, and sometimes it gets me in trouble; and I doubt God is involved at all.

Somewhere a junior high school is short a couple of ass clowns today.
Somewhere a child is learning that ad hominem attacks are poor substitutes for a persuasive arguments based on logic, reason and facts.

The rules of argumentation do not apply here. This is just an exchange of opinions, clearly having nothing to do with logic, reason or facts:
My opinion is that ditto-heads are gullible morons. Nothing ad hominem about it - it is not part of any argument.
"O 'Bama, Hey 'Bama,
"Bama, Bama, O,
Barry Hey Barry O 'bama!
Hey O B, O B won't you smile at me?
Barry O Bama Hey Superstar!
- from "Barry Soetoro, Superstar"
Rush was taken completely out of context. What he was saying is that the White House was inserting itself in a situation where it was not needed.
