Limbaugh: Mubarak Waited To Leave To Spite Media, Protesters All Organized Leftists

audio
» 53 comments

Obviously, today has been an absolutely huge day for the nation of Egypt. It will be interesting to see how everyone reacts to the enormous event or President Mubarak’s resignation. Up first is Rush Limbaugh who had some intriguing theories on why Mubarak chose to step down to day. He also joined in with Glenn Beck in believing that this revolution must have been organized by exterior forces.

Limbaugh’s explanation for why Mubarak resigned today and not during yesterday’s address is basically this: he just wanted to piss off President Obama and the media. He let them look foolish by falsely reporting for an entire morning that he was leaving and then pulled the rug out from under them. God, what a jerk that guy is.

Next, Limbaugh discussed the protesters in Cairo who brought about the end of Mubarak’s regime:

“I have had time to read all kinds of stuff about this group- I don’t want to call them a ‘mob’ – the protester bunch. And, folks, they are all leftists. They’re feminists. They’re avowed socialists, leftists, communists, environmentalists. I don’t believe this is coincidence that Tunisia then this thing springs up. I don’t believe that this is just spontaneity.”

Amidst all of this, Limbaugh also pointed out the one biggest piece of deception that’s been going by unnoticed in all Egypt coverage:

CNN Newsroom is the show, live in Tahrir Square, which is actually a circle…”

So true.

    HAHA, as soon as Limbaugh uttered the phrase above, I knew Mediaite would run with it.

    As Rush says, I know you like every square inch of my gloriously naked body.

  • paulmdoro

    Is he right?

  • Liberal Tormentor (formerly Seeing 2012 From My Window)

    Paul, I think it’s partially correct, but that’s not everyone who’s involved. Even the NYT admitted there is truth to what he said.

    . . . . .I was concerned to find that it appears to be operated by far Left radicals with an agenda for this country and the globe that most would find appalling. From their site (emphasis mine):

    The Riseup Collective is an autonomous body based in Seattle with collective members world wide. Our purpose is to aid in the creation of a free society, a world with freedom from want and freedom of expression, a world without oppression or hierarchy, where power is shared equally. We do this by providing communication and computer resources to allies engaged in struggles against capitalism and other forms of oppression.

    •We value, support, and engage in struggles for human liberation, the ethical treatment of animals, and ecological sustainability. We join in the fight for freedom and the self-determination of all oppressed groups. We oppose all forms of prejudice, authoritarianism, and vanguardism.
    •We organize on the basis of autonomy, mutual aid, resource sharing, participatory knowledge, social advocacy, anti-oppression work, community creation, and secure communication.
    •We work to create revolution and a free society in the here and now by building alternative communication infrastructure designed to oppose and replace the dominant system.
    •We promote social ownership and democratic control over information, ideas, technology, and the means of communication.
    •We empower organizations and individuals to use technology in struggles for liberation. We work to support each other in overcoming the systemic oppression embedded in the use and development of technology.
    In working towards their stated purpose, Riseup.net securely hosts email and many, many private lists for union, radical feminist, revolutionary, anarchist and communist groups worldwide, including many state socialist organizations. Just a few examples include the Communist Party of the District of Columbia, Houston Anarchists, (who describe Houston as the “stronghold of capitalists, fascists, flag worshipers and bible-thumpers; located in Texas, in the US-occupied territory of Native America”), Fellowship of Reconciliation (FOR), a socialist “social gospel organization, Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) Columbia University, SDS Portland, and a group calling itself Doomsday Engineering, who state on their sign up page, “Welcome, O our comrades, to a conspiracy whose center is everywhere and whose perimeter is nowhere.” These are but a few of many long lists of similar groups utilizing the resources offered at Riseup.net.

    When Rush gets off his fat ass and gets into the thick of, well, ANYTHING… Then maybe people might take his word for something. How the hell does anyone respect a guy who sits in the basement of his house everyday and pulls his opinion out of thin air. His motto… “Whatever the left says I’ll just say the opposite.”

    There’s truth in the statement that the protesters are all “feminists, socialists, leftists, communists, and environmentalists”?

  • Liberal Tormentor (formerly Seeing 2012 From My Window)

    There is truth that those groups are involved. I don’t think Rush thinks that is ALL the protestors. He speaks off the cuff 3 hours a day so I tend not to ananlyze every single word.

    USO tours don’t count. When I see him on the ground talking to the people of Afghanistan, Iraq, or Egypt then he can have an opinion. Quit trying to defend the indefensible. Because you worship Rush and Glenn bobblehead dolls every morning, and day, and evening, and overnight, doesn’t make you more enlightened… It makes you that much more dense and unknowing.

  • Stratdude

    Yes, God works in mysterious ways, so they say. He has picked a racist, uneducated, hateful sex tourist junkie to be able to read the minds of all the black women in the world and to know what hundreds of thousands of demonstrators in Egypt are thinking. Oral Roberts was wrong, Rush Limbaugh was the fourth man in the fire. And all along, many of us thought only uneducated, white teabagging rubes listened to him. Don’t fret, Limbaugh will inform us what is democracy and what isn’t, what a relief.

    I’m sure you voiced this same opinion of Keith Olbermann, right? Remember him? He’s the guy who used to sit on his fat ass and do little else besides talk shit about the other people who sat on their fat asses and talked about stuff. The only thing he ever got into the thick of was an enormous bubbling vat of self-admiration. So, we can assume that you think he’s a shithead as well, right?

    Actually, I do think Olbermann is self absorbed, but he calls out the hypocrisy of others that wouldn’t live up to what they preached. When I see people hang on every word that Limbulb and Beck spew it’s frightening. I will disagree with Olbermann when he’s over the line or doesn’t make sense, and I will agree with Beck and Limbulb when they do make sense. But I NEVER see many on here EVER disagree with them. Not on the basis of truth or anything fundamental.

    BarneyFranken said:
    http://www.nytimes.com/2011/02/10/world/middleeast/10youth.html

    I suggest everyone read this article. Here’s a quote:

    They are the young professionals, mostly doctors and lawyers, who touched off and then guided the revolt shaking Egypt…..In the process many have formed some unusual bonds that reflect the singularly nonideological character of the Egyptian youth revolt, which encompasses liberals, socialists and members of the Muslim Brotherhood.

    “I like the Brotherhood most, and they like me,” said Sally Moore, a 32-year-old psychiatrist, a Coptic Christian and an avowed leftist and feminist of mixed Irish-Egyptian roots.

    Many in the circle, in fact, met during their university days. Islam Lotfi, a lawyer who is a leader of the Muslim Brotherhood Youth, said his group used to enlist others from the tiny leftist parties to stand with them in calling for civil liberties, to make their cause seem more universal. Many are now allies in the revolt, including Zyad el-Elaimy, a 30-year-old lawyer who was then the leader of a communist group.

    The seeds of the revolt were planted around the time of the uprising in Tunisia….By the time they occupied Tahrir Square, she and her friends had enlisted the Arab Doctors Union — many of whose members are also members of the Muslim Brotherhood…

    Most of the group are liberals or leftists, and all, including the Brotherhood members among them, say they aspire to a Western-style constitutional democracy where civic institutions are stronger than individuals.

    well, at least as far as who they are, Rush appears to be right.

  • paulmdoro

    Most are liberals and leftists is not the same as all are feminists, socialists, leftists, communists, environmentalists.

    As a leftist, liberal elitist, communist, socialist, Marxist, environmentalist (he threw that in for the Koch Bros.

    I mean, it’s not like we have the Koch Bros. to BUS us to town hall meetings to disrupt local discussions or bus us to Washington on behalf of the Health Care Industry; Republicans love “democracy” – if they can control it and put their dictator in power. They hate when the people rise up for themselves. What morons.

    There is a difference between the propaganda an lies of Fox (your brainwashing indoctrination into stupidity) and Keith O whom voiced what we find fairly obvious – Fox intentionally lies about everything from “Fair and Balanced” – to the fact that Bill O’Reilly is the #1 Cable News program (he isn’t news – newsflash – he’s a talk show opinionator spinning the lies of the Bush Administration and the GOP/Boehner now). The difference is, we have uneducated blind faith chicken hawks whom have a political party they way they have their religion – not because they are knowledgeable about either subject, but because they were BORN INTO IT. That should make you embarrassed. You’re being misled in ignorance – Keith was trying to get your attention – deprogramming brainwashed sheep is very difficult. Goebbels and Adolf brainwashed the willingly ignorant – sold them on a common enemy in false patriotism and faux religious dogma – just like the Republicans – be upset – it’s just the truth. You have one voice, one opinion and it’s tied to Reagan, Murdoch and Falwell. You’re a sheep. Baaaaaa!

You want to bring up Iran and the deposed Republican dictator Shaw of Iran? Your party of idiocy backs the wrong horse in so many races, I was surprised you would bring up the above failed clandestine operation – that you ended up ARMING TO THE TEETH, as well as Iraq and Afghanistan. Or does your history books only have writing on just the “right” side of the page? You deny truth as if you might die from it – truth is – you probably will.

    Rush does know squat. None of us do at this point, but I think if I were working for a dictator and being paid peanuts for 30 years I would be out there throwing bottles of gasoline myself. It was just a matter of time before this area exploded. Who led the revolt is not even the issue, its who will win the power struggle. That is the issue you need to worry about.

    If Rush was around during the US Revolutionary War he would think the people rising up against the King were leftist and he would’ve been on the wrong side of history.

    The order has come down to the right wing echo chamber that the protesters are a bunch of leftist and that the dictator Mubarak was good for Egypt, but if this happen on Bush’s watch then it would’ve been seen as a good thing.

    It figures Fascist Rush would be on the Side of the Fascist Dictator Mubarek in Eygpt and against the people. If the USA would have the same thing happen here HE (the Fascist Rush) would be out of a job, and no longer making the 40 million per year the makes. I completely understand why he takes the point of view he does. It has NOTHING to do with the truth but EVERYTHING to do with his money. (same as Mubarek)

    If I could buy Rush a sauna, I’d harvest his sweat for a year so I could bath in it then drink it like wine! The bouquet would surely be one of musky social darwinism, the first notes would be woody, fruited contempt for the middle class, and it would finish with a divinely divisive rhetorical racism!

    “Limbaugh: Mubarak Waited To Leave To Spite Media, Protesters All Organized Leftists”

    I don’t think so. What actually happened is that murbarak thought he could join the ranks of the Puppet Masters that now dominate governments around the world, and simply manipulate a powerless stooge in “VP” suleiman, who he made the figurehead for his government.

    Certainly, mubarak had good reason to think this structure would work in egypt as it has in :

    Russia: puppet master putin controls puppet president medvedev
    US: puppet master crazy pelosi, along with the unions, controls puppet president “You Lie!” hussein

    Unfortunately for mubarak, too many in eqypt saw through his game.
