Rush Limbaugh: Harry Reid Is The Lucifer To The President’s ‘Imam Obamadinejad’

audio
» 35 comments

There comes a point when listening to Rush Limbaugh that one wonders how people like Jon Stewart stay in the business of satire when it’s impossible to parody the real thing This one takes a little bit of work to keep up with, but it ends with “fallen angel” Harry Reid squaring off with “Imam Obamadinejad,” so the topic seems to be fairly plausible Election Day predictions.

The event that set Limbaugh off this time is the fact that Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid claimed that, “but for me, we would be in a world-wide depression. “But that’s Obama’s line!” Limbaugh protested on his show, citing his supreme confusion and distress at the fact that Sen. Reid would try to take credit that Limbaugh felt was wrongfully Obama’s. It was a clear overreach of his position in the Democratic Party as Limbaugh understood it. In fact, Limbaugh was certain the quote was President Obama’s, something he said “while meeting with Steve Jobs” (?), but, instead, Limbaugh got the “second biggest disappointment in my life.”

But then Limbaugh started thinking about the President’s reaction to the quote and was suddenly less distressed. He bets President Obama “chewed him out good,” since “it was the president– the president only– who plugged the hole, who lowered the seas, who healed the planet, who cured the sick, who saved the planet from depression.” Then he continues to explain that “it’s almost like the fallen angel challenging the Messiah, Imam Obamadinejad.”

Considering everything else he calls President Obama– “nation’s first anti-American president” or “jackass,” for example, calling him the Messiah a week after calling him “demonic” isn’t so bad.

    Limbaugh often steps over the line. Reid has been a poor Senator, but I think Lucifer’s job is a few steps above his pay grade.

    ORLANDO, Fla. — Seeking any advantage in their effort to retain control of Congress, Democrats are working behind the scenes in a number of tight races to bolster long-shot third-party candidates who have platforms at odds with the Democratic agenda but hold the promise of siphoning Republican votes.

    This has honestly got to stop. Limbaugh doesn’t cross the line, he tramples on it. You can disagree with President Obama without resorting to this childishness and fear mongering.

    Seriously, why are you “outraged”? Do you think his audience is made up of “undecided” independent voters? He’s throwing red meat to his base and entertaining them. It’s not like he said Obama can turn his “negro dialect” on and off or something, ya know like Harry did.

    Good point. Just a question (so don’t yell at me!) – If both sides can say dumb stuff like this to their bases, do the undecided listen to Borat?

    True, but then again I rarely hear the brain stems “chastise” Beck, Palin, Limbaugh, and the usual brainiacs.

    Ted, as soon as I think he crosses the line, I will. He’s being satirical here so I won’t. Btw, he actually didn’t come up with this, a called did so we should give credit where it’s due.

    Rush Limbaugh; chum burglar, pederast, drug abuser, verbal anarchist and hero to the like minded.

    Rush is a funny guy. Keep in mind he has years of being a boss jock in his radio days. Mixing politics and humor comes naturally to him. Some of the stuff he says might be somewhat wild but most of what he does is funny.

    Keep in mind the Dems are the gift that keeps on giving for him. If you think someone like O Donnell feeds the lefts frenzy. Obama shooting himself in the foot constantly, the ineptness of his czars, Barney Frank and Pelosi are just what his doctor ordered.

    I’ve read analysis by Paul Waldman and heard on some show that this next Congress will be more divided than the one we have if the Republicans take over there.

    There is only one better argument for voting for Democratics than to realize that no domestic issues will get resolved if the R’s control Congress. Instead progress already made will get defunded, they will attempt to shut the gov’t down and some moron or two will want to impeach Obama because he hasn’t personally shown some Tea Party Congressman from the state of Dumbfukistan his birth certificate. Everyone who wants a dysfunctional government should vote Republican Nov. 2nd.

    The biggest reason to unseat Republicans is because of the Dred Scott decision of our time, i.e. CU v FEC. Everyone who wants to have a government of the rich, for the rich and by the rich (plutocracy) should vote for R’s this November. That’s the overriding issue of this and probably the next elections. The Party of Lincoln has become the Party of “Don’t tax the rich” and to hell with the middle class.

    Spread this far and wide. Take 10 minutes. Using e-mail, FB, Twitter, etc, please share this URL with every undecided and independent voter you know. Have them share it. “Populist” Glenn Beck was caught hobnobbing with the plutocrats. Share this URL:

    Why are you still posting here? Everyone now knows you are a liar. You have made a fool out of yourself trying to intimidate people with a lawsuit. LOL. You should put your tail between you legs and go away.

    Limbaugh was very funny today and everyday. Libs never get it. He did not and has not gone over any line.

    Rush Limbaugh is one of the worst creatures that is a legal American citizen. He is a liar, a coward, a draft dodger, a joke when it comes to family values, a drug abuser and a bully. I gag when I have to defend his right to free speech. He is the epitome of what is wrong with this country. This country is so divided because of people like Limbaugh and Olbermann.

    Oh, BS. That bullying coward has been hiding behind that excuse for years. He says whatever his hate-filled base salivates to hear, and when it backfires on occasion, he pleads that he was just being humorous or satirical. And as for his callers: He and his backroom stooge handpick the syncophants they want on the air. And he usually only selects around eight to ten in a three-hour period. The rest of the time, he rants and raves, lies, blathers, and bullies people.

    Rush Limbaugh is an example of great minds gone wrong. The prisons are full of great minds gone wrong, however; Rush escaped getting caught doing anything wrong and became President of the Rabble-rousers Association from inception at a early age. The income was so go he stuck with it. Bless his heart.
    We understand from the News Media, Iran has been owning many politicians in Iraq from this ingenious idea of over paying people to do things. I think our military should lay down their guns and start throwing money at everything they want done. In this day and age it seem to be working better than anything else.
    Everyone must be copping this idea from Hitler and his quest for world power in WW 2, Hitler had everyone doing everything he said to do. We found at the end of the war, he did it with money.

    A 100% correct reading of the cowardly lying drug addict Rush Limbaugh. CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW, RUSH?

  • Seeing November From My Window

    You libs hate Rush for the same reason you hate Palin, Beck, and FOX. You CAN’T get rid of them and it drives you crazy!!

    Rush Limbaugh could have been a great Shakespearean actor. He could have played a very important part in the play called Macbeth. He could have said, ‘Live is but a walking shadow, a poor player, who struts and frets his hour upon the stage and is heard no more.’ Rush has been acting this part all his life, I’m sure he would be the best person for this acting job. He would not make as much money but we could all see him on Broadway and that would be cool.

    i think RUSHBLOWER and GORDONBLOWER are the same anal sphincter …..lol

    Typical pathetic response. If Rush says something “smart and intelligent”. it’s “Rush is Right”. But WHEN rush says something obviously wrong or says a racist and/or bigoted rant, his dumbfounded listeners claim “He’s just joking, He’s just joking”. Werid since his followers wouldn’t know jokes of funny if it ran over them and they survived. The drug addict’s defenders try to justified fatty’s racist rant against Obama as the truth just as people who believes these bs rants are possibly bigots themselves.
