Margo Howard Calls Rush Limbaugh a Fat Fool

Well, that didn’t take long. Obama’s been in office little more than a month and I am once more in banshee mode, alternately known as high dudgeon, about the Republicans (exempting a very few, like Olympia Snowe and Susan Collins). Republican leaders are calling it “irresponsible” to increase some taxes, along with the federal debt. Well, there is no choice! Why can’t these party hacks connect the dots and own up to the fact that these measures are necessary because George Bush, with Cheney pulling the strings, got us into this mess … mostly to help their big business buddies? Obama inherited this financial chaos. I assure you he did not choose to begin his term by rescuing financial institutions and printing money.
The putative golden boy of the Republicans, Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal, in a lame response to Obama’s address, beat the drum for tax cuts. Helloooooo. We had tax cuts, remember? And … the Republicans’ own George W. Bush, during eight years, ran up quite an eye-popping deficit himself.
I find it Kafkaesque that many Republicans embrace the wish voiced by that fat fool Rush Limbaugh that Obama fail. It is hard to imagine an American even saying that. Do these people not live here, too? Who in their right mind would wish failure on a leader just because their guy lost? This is partisanship on steroids, with a big dose of obstructionism thrown in.
But I have a wish, too, Rush: that when the Republican legislators battling Obama come up for reelection, they are booted out, in big numbers, with their constituents letting them know that singing the same old song is no longer acceptable. Not to mention that they were way off-key in the first place.

They panic when the truth is brought to light. Then they attack, not the stats….appearently the "fats".
The very most telling thing of all is that their fearless leader, OhBombUs is running scared of him. WOWOWOW! As he said of McCain during the campaign…don’t we have more important things to talk about here other than me?
Seems to me that OhBombUs should take his own advice, but then again, once a deceiver, always a deceiver.
Well "D C" it sure seems as if your whole premise is that Rush makes "hateful" comments….
I wonder how those that are weight challenged would take to your offensive observations?
Or how about that under educated remark? Maybe those that have not had the opportunity to attend a college would have a comment or two about that elitist attitude…
You see, when one person is singled out, like Rush the cards come tumbling down.
And if indeed "no one wants to hear that", then all they need do is turn the dial. Problem solved.
Make no mistake about it, we are on the road to unprecedented changes to our freedom of speech as well as our personal wealth. Like lambs to slaughter…like lambs to slaughter.
Well "Kelly" (SMH)….My comments were true he is ignorant. He speaks as if he has not passed high school.You can be smart and not have had the opportunity to attend college, however Rush is not the brightest crayon in the box.Furthermore, he is overweight. I didn’t lie. Thus my comments were not hurtful they were truthful.
If you even read what I said I listed that he was OVER opinionated, UNDER educated, and OVERweight. What I was stating is that he does not pass his opinions off as simply opinions, he states that they are fact. I’m sorry, they are not. He does not provide any proof to support his claims.He rants,raves,and screams and throughout it all does nothing but spew unsupported claims and speaks hatefully of others. If you are going to make a claim you have to substantiate it..and he doesn’t. And as far as the overweight comment…..he is…and thats a fact. For proof Google his name and look at his pictures….lol
I know, why don’t you two compare IQ’s?
Now that’s a good suggestion even if I do say so myself. That would most certainly put an end to this discussion…..would it ever…..
*sigh* DC, you prove my point…over and over and over again. Your comments are beyond biased and are baseless opinion. But that’s ok, if you want to remain in denial.
Although I do not follow Rush, he does offer up facts and is an effective speaker, otherwise Obama would not be so scared of him. You should ask yourself that question…why single Rush out Mr. Obama…why would you need to do so…what is your real plan…???
That in itself is the most telling…oh ya. Fear is a powerful thing and OhBombUs is obsessed with Rush.
Oh and Margo…you are indeed a foolish woman with dangerous wishes. If all of those Republicans that you so revile are "booted" out, the system of checks and balances come tumbling down. You will find this Nation a one party country, which means one thing; the road to a dictatorship.
Refute Rush…don’t hate him. As for the fat thing…irrelevant and just an attempt to take the focus away from the facts.
