Rush Limbaugh On Chris Matthews And Al Sharpton: ‘A Bunch Of Parasites’

Audio
» 58 comments

Rush Limbaugh enjoyed the fact that he was getting under the skin of many media commentators, particularly Chris Matthews and Al Sharpton. Rush argued that for “many on the left, Obama would have been a stunning, overwhelming, resounding success if it weren’t for me” and the fact that MSNBC hosts can’t stop talking about Rush is evidence to him that he’s reached a “new level of effectiveness.”

Regarding Matthews, Rush stated “I don’t know if he’s lost his mind,” since Matthews claimed Rush wants to “rollback Harry Truman’s integration of the U.S. Army.” Only problem is that Rush apparently never made that statement. Rush predicts Matthews is simply looking for attention like fellow MSNBC host Sharpton who said he purposely set bait for Rush in order to reach Rush’s audience. Rush couldn’t stop laughing at Sharpton’s statement, responding:

“He wants to preach to my choir, well who wouldn’t want this audience? The problem is none of them has the ability to go out and get it on their own, they haven’t the slightest idea how. They’re all a bunch of parasites, every one of them.”

Potentially even more damaging was Rush’s assertion that liberals in America are so confused about what to say or do because “they realize it’s their policies that have done all of this” to our economy. Rush chuckled that Obama supporters are now asking themselves, “is my kid’s future worth supporting this guy” and he concluded:

“Chris Matthews and the media, they are very close to the rioters in London in terms of anger, disappointment – this is not how it was supposed to be. We were supposed to have utopia. This was a new kind of politician. And the politics of old was supposed to vanish.”

In the end though, Rush couldn’t resist one final parting shot that “MSNBC not seeking help for the troubled Chris Matthews – that’s about as low as they can get.”

    MSNBC has got to have a psychiatric team on the grounds at all times for insurance purposes .

    3…2…1…”Limbaugh has THREE HOURS EACH DAY to say what he wants and WE have NOTHING!!!”

    Rush is right; Lib Media Hacks are in a perpetual state of self-immolation…a whole 180 degrees away from those ‘perpetual Democratic majorities’ that one Lib Media Hack (Carvillle?) ‘declared’ would be the case once they ‘Crowned Their King.’

    I was going to say, ‘Crowned Their Boy,’ but decided against it.

    Rush better watch out or Big Al “Tawana” Sharpton will be his boys from the hood to “counsel” with him.

    Chris was referencing that Rush said the GOP may get to roll back “every Democratic program going back 65 years”. That would include integration, Voting and Civil Rights acts, and Medicare. I don’t see how Matt could know how Rush phrased it, but not how Chris did.

  • Texan

    Well, you just proved yourself to be a liar. ;)

    Gregg, you should be embarresed you even posted a remark that damn stupid.
    Limbaugh makes about 80 million annually and has an audience of about 20 million a
    day. You think he needs a pissy little TV show with no viewers ala MSNBC?
    He has a platform to RAM it to you Libturds for three hours daily. He does and I love
    the effect it has on Y’ALL. You bite EVERY TIME!

    Ever been hired a a local shop owner who’s upper middle class? What’s with you Conservatives contention that so-called “Job Creators” are accorded some extra Constitutional Rights or respect? If there’s some where in the Bill of Rights or Constitution that addresses and gives greater rights, please point it out for me.

    Rush said:  “MSNBC not seeking help for the troubled Chris Matthews – that’s about as low as they can get.”
    I’ve made two or three comments in the past about the reprehensible exploitation of Chris Matthews personality disorders (plural). Phil Griffin and the others at MSNBC/NBC have no conscience at all if they have  not insisted on or provided Matthews some help.
    Maybe Matthews and Sharpton aren’t the biggest parasites but they obviously champion the causes of those who are.

     No more constitutional rights than you but maybe some respect. That shop owner puts up his money, his time, his passion, his risk and if he fails, he loses. Nobody bails his ass out. All the skin in the game is his.
    THE GOVERNMENT PUTS UP OUR MONEY AND IF THEY FAIL THEY JUST TAKE MORE. 1.2 Trillion,(STIMULUS PLUS INTEREST) QE1,QE2, 9.1% unemployment rate, no growth, and the 1st downgrade in U.S. history.

    i love hysterical liberals

  • waiting for 11-2012

    He doesn’t have a TV show because the networks wouldn’t give him the time slot he wanted.   His show was consistently in the top 10 neilsen ratings.  I don’t even listen to the guy — but he sure has the lily-liverals in hysterics.  The truth hurts, i’m sure

    Wow — that was almost witty, Jboner lover — well — more like half witty.

  • Snake5875

    That’s right Rush is the biggest parasite couldn’t finish college scared of Vietnam “OH I HAVE AN INGROWN HAIR ON MY *SS  COWARD” and has legions that listen to him Like Mao,Hitler, etc. and sucks on something long and brown. And speaking of parasites how about teabaggers favorite corporations putting up nets to stop the suicides of despondent workers, locking children in sweatshops while they burn to death boy that is the American way remember the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire can’t wait for those days to come back to America and they will if the GOP gets all their deregulation anti-worker bills through

  • Snake5875

    Kind of right he should be “fired” and get a job worthy of his education McDonalds tending fries he’s not qualified for the counter though

    It sounds Rush is scared that he’s loosing his audience.  

  • Popcorn2525

    I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW HOW MUCH RUSH PAYS THIS SOUNDING BOARD TO BE IN IT DAY AFTER DAY AFTER DAY. TO ME HES  SAYS NOTHING OF INTERESTS HES LIKE A GOSSIP PAPER LIKE ANY OF THE RAGS PAPERS. WELL HE IS LOSING HIS AUDIENCE FOR SURE. ONCE A DRUG ADDICT ALWAYS A DRUG ADDICT.

    I heard Limbaugh believes in affirmative action when he is in the Dominican Republic.

     

  • http://profiles.google.com/uniteusnow Charles B.

    It’s true Rush has tried TV and failed more than once.
    He signed a big fat 400 million dollar with Clear Channel.
    Then Clear Channel laid off 3,000 workers.

    Mediate,
    Where is Al Sharptons response to Limbaugh.

    Fact: DERP

    But, Rush..if we were to get rid of the PMSnbc crew, i.e., Chrissy ‘Tingles & Thrills’ Matthews and Al NOTsharp@allTON, along with Lawrence ‘Always Angry & Unhappy’ O’DON’TknowNutin’ell, Randy Madcow and the overfed redhead Ed Schultz we wouldn’t have anyone to laugh at.

  • Dan Cleary

    Wow!  How did snake escape the asylum? 

  • john.kliber

    The reason Limbaugh is so effective is that the average liberal would be in an insane asylum in 1965. To say that rats have crept out of the walls and taken over our gov’t's policies is an understatement.

    Let’s face it, all Limbaugh has to actually do is show liberals doing what they actually do. There is no irony or satire required. One doesn’t need an “Animal Farm” to show what liberals “really” do, just eyes and a head to set them in.

    Politifact has evaluated 35 of Rushbowels statements. 6/35 are mostly true or true. He has more pants on fire 7/35 plus 10/35 false or flop ratings. The balance equally divided betwwen mostly false and half true. He is a court jester, not anyone that need to be taken seriously.

    Limbaugh is way to kind to these left wing losers. They are more the stinky, steamy pile of excrement the liberal parasites thrive upon.

  • john.kliber

    Gay people have such favorite corporations? It’s hard to tell exactly what you’re saying and about who given your vulgar slang but it seems as if you’re angry at someone.

  • john.kliber

    Another vulgar short essayist who has something against gays. Is there some kind of dust up over there at the Rainbow Coalition we’re not aware of?

    How is telling the US your President will fail a positive start to this fantasy utopia?

    Own goals make the whole point of Limbaugh’s bombastic verbiage largely irrelevant these days. ;)
