Too Far? Rush Limbaugh Calls President Obama ‘Jackass’

audio
» 190 comments

At what point does political rhetoric turn to disrespectful vitriol? Some are suggesting that we found out today when conservative talk radio provocateur Rush Limbaugh ostensibly referred to President Obama as “you jackass!” Of course, calling out sitting presidents did not begin with Obama, nor President Bush for that matter. Perhaps the opinion media rhetoric gone too far?

Writing for ABC News Political Punch blog, Steven Portnoy reports

Derision of the president on his program is nothing new, but Rush Limbaugh’s tone today may have struck the ears of regular listeners as particularly disdainful, taking his contempt of the president to a new level.

The nation’s preeminent conservative talk radio host referred to Mr. Obama as a “jackass,” an “economic illiterate” and an “idiot, where capitalism is concerned.”

The rough stuff came during a monologue on the president’s position on extending the Bush tax cuts to all but the top two percent of wage earners.

There is no question that the vast majority of those listening to Mr. Limbaugh likely agree with his sentiment, but there is a legitimate question to be asked. Is it appropriate for an individual broadcasting over government regulated airwaves to call the sitting president a jackass? Or is he just looking for attention? Or both?

    Obama should all be like, “it takes one to know one!”

    That would teach him.

  • timzank

    First of all, he’s right. Obama is a jack ass, secondly, this shit happens all the time, like Harry Reid calling President Bush a loser.

  • The Real Royal King

    Lard Limbaugh is an indecent human being, so I don’t think it much matters what he says or he does. The people who should be held to account are the Republican hangers-on to this indecent human being. If you play with trash, you stink. Phew! I smell Newt coming.

    “there is a legitimate question to be asked. Is it appropriate for an individual broadcasting over government regulated airwaves to call the sitting president a jackass?”

    You can’t be serious. So you think the sitting president should determine what is appropriate? You think the government officials who work for the sitting president should determine what is appropriate to say about the president?

  • Bunny

    I’m in my 40s and grew up in an era when people were much more respectful of the office of President and would never make publicly crude remarks about one (I still never would); however, wasn’t President Bush called a whole lot worse than “jackass” by some media people?

    Not trying to say there should be tit for tat, only that it’s not cool to decry one instance and not another when your gripe is that it shows no respect for the office. To answer the question posed in the article, there’s nothing wrong with calling out a sitting president, but I do think calling a sitting president extremely derogatory or vulgar names is inappropriate.

    I believe we should thank Mr. Hall for this article. As it is, it has turned out to be a carefully crafted trap to expose the liberal hypocrisy. Whereas the vast majority of liberals were anything but respectful to Mr. Bush, Mr. Cheney and their families–in fact, most I’ve heard from were cruel and untruthful to the Nth degree–when a conservative exercises his or her rights of free speech, that right is by some means revoked.

    As for Mr. Limbaugh’s calling Mr. -0bama a jackass is concerned, I should think Mr. Limbaugh was being very compassionate toward the current occupant of the White House.

    Oh yeah. I seem to remember a douchbag motormouth named Olbermann who called then-POTUS a “jackass” and much worse on a nightly basis just two years ago. Tweety-bird Matthews much less so, but all the libturd commentators took nasty shots at GWB. Libturds don’t have a record to run on that they’re proud of, so they have to malign GOP and Tea Party candidates. Looks like the voters will be giving the libturds the “respect” they truly deserve.

  • Darn the Marn

    “Jackass” is taking it too far? Please, much worse things have been said about this president (not to mention many others). Either way, there is no “too far” when you’re talking about speech – this is America, where speech is free, whether you’re a homophobe harassing a gay college student or a venomous radio talk show host.

    I like how people come at this from the “you talked shit about MY president so I can talk shit about YOUR president.” Please – he’s the COUNTRY’s president. BUT, I think this highlights a particularly interesting characteristic of our nation – whether you’re liberal or conservative, you’re going to have gripes with the president if he isn’t on “your team.” So what should we do? Keep this cycle going? If recent history indicates anything, it’s that this cycle is become uglier and more divisive than ever. This site is a perfect example of what this breeds, and especially – I think – what our competitive political system breeds. If we can recognize it, maybe we can step above it. Or we can continue the race-baiting, the name calling, the childish tactics that don’t really add anything productive to the conversation. That’s not to say it starts with us – I think it starts up top, with the politicians (on both sides) who validate the use of such low-brow techniques to get people on their side. There’s no shortage of it, and when we see our politicians on high doing it, well then, we think, we shouldn’t we? Why can’t we? Well, I say we stop looking at them as models, as archetypes, and start thinking and acting and deciding for ourselves.

    So, either way, the question posited by this article is absolutely stupid, and has a seriously easy answer (“No, he hasn’t, jackass” – this is something ALL AMERICANS WHO BELIEVE IN AMERICAN IDEALS SHOULD AGREE ON). But look at the conversation it has given birth to – I don’t think it’s something anybody can be proud of.

    See – you’re letting the actions of others dictate how you react to this situation. Why don’t you try stepping outside the cycle, take the high road it strive for something better. Though I’m not sure “teabagger” is derogatory – I may be wrong, but I thought it was the Tea Party that started using that ill-advised nickname. It is pretty funny tho…

  • VRWC Destruction Machine

    Limbaugh called Obama a jackass when it come to the economy. Limbaugh didn’t call Obama a jackass just to call him a jackass. Obama is an ignoramus. The president is not required to know every aspect on the economy, but it is up to him to have the advisors that will fill in the gaps. Obamas problem he has no one who has any real world experience in business. All he has is academics who advise him on theories they have on paper and in text books but not based on experience with real world applicaions.

    Obama is a jackass when it comes to the economy. Obama whines extending tax cuts to the “wealthy” will cost the United States $700 billion over the next ten years. What the jackass fails to tell us extending tax cuts to the middle class will cost the United States $3 trillion over the next ten years. Where’s the logic in that except to pander to his class warfare mantra?

    “Tax cuts” doesn’t take away money from the government. It means government get less money to waste.

    Well, I suppose if “fascist, war monger, liar, greatest terrorist, monkey, total failure, crack head, retard, brain dead, dumb f*ck, stupid, mass murderer, racist, and asshole” were ok names for public figures to call President Bush, it should be ok for Rush to call Obama jackass.

    By the way, I don’t think any of the slurs you listed, except perhaps “mass murderer” and only then in the proper context, are suitable for our discourse. I realize that, in your mind, President Obama is not White and therefore not entitled to respect or even civility, but not all Americans see these matter in your Black and White terms.

    You do understand, don’t you, Twit, we’re not talking about ordinary people on the street? we’re talking about public-owned airways and we’re talking about the self-proclaimed leader of the conservative movement in Amerika. Please, a bit of analysis here.

    AGAIN, IT’S CALLED FREEDOM OF SPEECH. that is EXACTLY what the First Amendment was directed at. Freedom of the press and in more modern times, the airwaves. Whatsmore, when did that every stop lefty Liberals from using the airwaves to call Bush names? When? When?

  • mardec

    Obama is the leader of the Democrats…so he is King of the Jackasses.

    You’re right, but they’re now trying to change it to look something like Obama’s symbol of a stripped oval or circle with a clear center and a big D in the center. Won’t work..the Jackass symbol is too embedded in the minds of Americans.

    Liberals don’t believe in Freedom of Speech, they believe in controlling speech…and this a good example. Remember how the Left kept saying that they could attack Bush because it was Freedom of Speech…but now are whining…lol

    All y’all complain about the same thing when it’s not your president in office. Defend the shit your president does, then complain about the opposing side’s president when he does the same shit. Where the fuck does this get anyone – call a spade a spade and stop being such mindless, tribalistic fools.

    Bush supporters: Bush enacted TARP, don’t paint Obama a villain for it. You didn’t complain about it until Obama was in office.

    Obama supporters: You complained that Bush shat all over personal privacy with the patriot act, but Obama has gone much further in waging war against privacy and, what more, is targeting American civilians for assassination without due process. When Bush was in town, y’all complained that IMPRISONING without due process was a violation of rights – do you see the double standard?

    Other examples abound, but y’all gotta realize how flip-floppy and flimsy your principles are, just cuz you consider yourself “right” or “left.”

    Remember Colby is a lib retard. He has never heard anybody say anything bad about Bush or Reagan. Jackass is a term of endearment compared to Obama being called a socialist and Marxist.
    Colby believes calling republicans names is okay because of course those names are accurate.

    Obama could not get a clear a background check from the FBI to work for the government.

    Hey Twit for brains, why don’t you spend five minutes on google and research the sources of those name calling examples. I will give a clue – they are all from Politicians, including elected leaders of the Democratic party, News reporters and celebrities on TV during live events and directed at the former POTUS.

    You call me a twit, and makes comments like this: ” I realize that, in your mind, President Obama is not White and therefore not entitled to respect or even civility.” and just yesterday accused me of being immature. Well, how very immature and racist of you to assume Obama should not be criticized because of his skin color. You’re a racist, RRK, you are obsessed with Obama being black.

    I’m in my 40s and grew up in an era when people were much more respectful of the office of President and would never make publicly crude remarks about one (I still never would); however, wasn’t President Bush called a whole lot worse than “jackass” by some media people? Not trying to say there should be tit for tat, only that it’s not cool to decry one instance and not another when your gripe is that it shows no respect for the office. To answer the question posed in the article, there’s nothing wrong with calling out a sitting president, but I do think calling a sitting president extremely derogatory or vulgar names is inappropriate.

    It was a daily Bush bashing festival for 8 years. Liberals still belive the myth of a “stolen” election.

    Gordon Bloyer has been called an assman by Ronn Owens of KGO radio in San Francisco. Rush Limbaugh read from a letter by Gordon on his national radio show while beating off to it. President Ronald Reagan invited Gordon to the White House to thank him for his hairpiece. When Gordon speaks people vomit. He has appeared on numerous radio and television shows and was never asked back. His letters and articles have been banned in many publications including the San Francisco Chronicle, San Francisco Examiner, Washington Times, USA Today, Monterey Herald, San Mateo Times, San Jose Mercury, Gary Post-Tribune, Hammond Times and the San Francisco Progress.

At worst, sir, in the deaths of 9/11, you are negligent.”, “Cheney privately hopes for another attack”, troll,…and I seem to recall a few radio and tv personalities hoping for his death, talk about ripping out his heart and stomping on it, and tell Liz Cheney to go home and start planning his funeral.

    And again, these are from high level Democrats and members of the media. So…again, I think given these examples jackass should be ok.

    Is it appropriate for an individual broadcasting over government regulated airwaves to call the sitting president a jackass?

    Gov’t Regulated? When the Constitution states “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”

    Does it mean that Federal Agencies operating outside of Article 1 Section 8 can abridge the FREEDOM OF SPEECH

    Has the Internet been abridged by the Almighty Federal Gov’t yet? Barrack Obama and most of his Cabinet are a bunch of Jackasses. You can include ALL the Representatives who think the Constitution is a ‘Living’ Document as well.

    He is adept at remembering “I’m the President”, but as far as a Constitutional Scholar, Obama is to the Constitution as Dr. Mengele is to the Hippocratic Oath.

    BTW Colby, why is the Gov’t Regulating the airwaves?

    >>>”I don’t know any economists,” said the president, “who think we are likely to get a bump in aggregate demand from $700 billion of borrowed money going to people like those of us around the table, who, if I suspect want a flat-screen TV, can afford one right now and are going out and buying one.”

    Limbaugh said he found it incredible that the president believes purchases of flat-screened televisions could bring about an economic recovery.

    ~~~~~

    Limbaugh obviously did not listen to what the president said. Obama is saying reducing taxes on the rich is not going to make people such as those he is with run out and start buying things. They can already afford to buy them. Limbaugh is a jackass.

    I find it an interesting word that he used because it is in fact loaded with apt connotations – the main one being that mules (jackasses) are the most stubborn of creatures according to American folk lore. That, to me, is one of the President’s psychological characteristics. He is stubborn beyond belief and it is hurting all of us that he seems to be unable to even hear out opposite points of view from his. By being that way, he does seem to be tone deaf not only to the people of this nation but also there are more and more times when the basis of our country’s law as written in the Constitution are also being ignored so he can have his way. Try the Tzars, the executive orders, the endless fixation on having to blame others rather than looking inward as well and the personally tainted choice of which laws will or will not be enforced.

    Now did Rush Limbaugh who certainly knows how to throw words around go too far? I don’t think so. It isn’t one of the formerly banned Carlin seven words and the First amendment gives all of us the right to say what is on our mind. It also gives people the right to read what they want and also to listen to what they want.

    For anyone to put this on the level of a legal issue, is ridiculous. Tasteful, maybe not but boy name me any commentator who is these days. We are living in rough times and frankly Rush Limbaugh’s choice of words is a joke if you listen to the songs being written and the words being said about any and all subjects in every form of media. The founding fathers and most especially George Washington himself, were insistent that the Presidency NOT be turned into a position that royalty had taken for centuries. He was at his own decision, not one to accept the notion that he should be called or treated as “his excellency.” Most Presidents have continued that tradition and the current administration by being a bit bull-headed is making itself a target for much stronger language than that of Rush Limbaugh.

    So live and laugh during these very stressful times and I find many things as I age difficult to adjust to from clothing worn to words used to film contents, but because of all this change we really do need folks out there commenting away on things so as a society we can try to arrive at some sort of mutual agreement as to what this nation is all about and where we want to see it headed.

    There are horror scenes coming at us from all over the world. Really look at our southern border and how the Narco kings are turning into mass murderers and realize that that and the two wars we are in are much more important than one guy’s use of what used to be an everyday word. Maybe there is a generational gap going on here but Medialite ought to find more worthwhile topics to headline!

The Libs have tried their earnest to come up a Rush Limbaugh imitator to no avail and no one has even come close. Rush has doing this for twenty-five years which is eternity in the competitive world of radio broadcasting.

    That anyone could get exercised over a radio personality calling Obama a “jackass” evidences an underdeveloped or absent sense of irony in a time where we have just come off of 8 years of people more highly placed than Limbaugh calling Bush everything from Chimp to Hitler. The typical over/under number on criticisms of Obama is 12 hours before one of the usual suspects decides jackass is now a racial slur. (If it already hasn’t happened.)

    Mr. Obama, tear down that teleprompter!

    If it were’nt for this article, I would not know what Rush Limbrain said. He is a jerk. And jerks do things to shock so they can get headlines and make money. I really don’t care what he has to say.

  • J Baustian

    It seems to me that Keith Olberman said many hurtful things about George W Bush — much worse than “jackass”. And Lawrence O’Donnell… well, that was a long time ago but if we’re going to talk about vicious insults…

  • BatBoy

    My list of words that Liberals own is growing…..and they are taking them away from the language of the Conservatives!

    I just added “Jackass” to it.

    Listen to the liberals laugh and laugh and laugh when Obama called Kayne West a “Jackass” just last year.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=078BGtKNL1o

    Did “YOU PEOPLE” who felt Rush was out of line laugh with the President?????

    Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!

    “Accordingly, I shall not seek, and I will not accept, the nomination of my party for another term as your President.”
    In a speech to be delivered by Barack Obama on or before March 31, 2012, Original quote from LBJ’s, 3/31/68 speech to the nation!

    Michael Moore did an ENTIRE MOVIE basically calling George W. Bush “an idiot,” and Oliver Stone made the movie “W” which was so OFFENDED those close to the former president, they COMPLAINED about it. So Rush Limbaugh called Barack Husein Obama “a jackass,” so what? Anyone remember the CONCEPT of “free speech?” Free speech is NOT about hearing stuff you LIKE 24/7, free speech INCLUDES stuff you do NOT want to hear!

  • motleyb

    When Barack Husein Obama speaks about the rich person’s money, he’s so DISMISSIVE about how the rich should spend their money! It is NO ONE’S business how anyone spends their money! All of the juvenile jealousy about how someone having more is TIRED! The rich will NOT spend if they feel like their odds of losing increases too much! The way you make the rich man spend MORE is to make him feel comfortable! Low taxes, curb excessive regulation, ramp up oil production in the USA to drive DOWN oil prices! Low fuel prices INCREASES financial activity! Before oil prices EXPLODED, the economy was fine! Barack Husein Obama KNOWS this stuff, but he’s a SOCIALIST! He wants to LIMIT the amount of people becoming wealthy! Socialists BELIEVE in a VERY LARGE poor working class and VERY FEW wealthy! He wants to SHUT OFF the engine which made HIM rich from others, and THAT DOES make him a TOTAL jackass!

    Reading the infantile bile spewing of the ignorant libs is so utterly predictable its boring. From Alinsky’s playbook, and Hitler’s for that matter, “when the facts (massive deficits, terrible economy, badly drafted legislation, unpopular policies) don’t support your position scream insults such as , racist, ugly, fat , loser so as to drown out your opponents with emotional zeal.

  • kidnathan

    Those on both sides of this issue are behaving like children. Sticks and stones…..Shame on you!
    Rush Limbaugh represents one thing – Rush Limbaugh. He is NOT a republican, he is a “Rush Limbaugh-ite”, laughing all the way to the bank. Most likely those banks are in the Caymen’s where his money resides in hidden accounts so he can avoid paying taxes. Rush is not trying to have a reasonable discussion about real problems. He is attempting to incite anger and divisiveness. He knows the more outrageous he is the more dollars he can funnel into his pocket. I hope no one really thinks he is trying to bring about positive change. To be fair, I’m not happy with any of our politicians either – republicans, democrats, or “other”. The main concerns in Washington are getting re-elected and covering their a**ess. All their actions revolve around those two goals. They could not care less about doing what is right for our country. I heard somewhere (I can’t remember where) that unrestrained democracies self-destruct after about 200 years. When I listen to our political discourse, I fear we are heading for self-destruction….

    Wrong again. I count 6 in one short post. Not just typos, but omitted or misspelled words and grammatical errors. Ordinarily, I wouldn’t care, but you are ALWAYS condescending and insulting other poster’s intelligence because you read ONE book. (Note: when using caps for a word, use them on all letters in that word).
    Now you’re calling everyone a “prick”. Is that supposed to hurt coming from you?
    No apologies here, not now not ever.
    You’re still on my Christmas list though, I’m buying you a dictionary. I hope the Christmas reference doesn’t offend you, I know how lefties can be about being politically correct.

    That anyone could get exercised over a radio personality calling Obama a “jackass” evidences an underdeveloped or absent sense of irony in a time where we have just come off of 8 years of people more highly placed than Limbaugh calling Bush everything from Chimp to Hitler. The typical over/under number on criticisms of Obama is 12 hours before one of the usual suspects decides jackass is now a racial slur. (If it already hasn’t happened.)

    But it’s different when libs do it; it’s justified.

  • Heatshield

    What’s the big deal? BHO called Kanye West a jackass didn’t he? Rush says Obama’s a jackass and guess what? They’re both right.

    Also where were you guys when the media ripped President George W. Bush every day for his entire two terms?

    Only when someone is acting like one. For Gordon, that’s his method of communication.

    Because I read ONE book? How can you pretend to know what you’re writing about and then pull “facts” out of your ass like this and then turn around with arrogance and declare: “No apologies here, not now not ever?”

    Another point of ignorance: you declare that I am “ALWAYS” condescending. No, not always, StandUp, just to the reactionaries willing to believe the lies coming from a certified hypocrite like Glenn Beck…like you.

    Please, by all means, Stand Up, give me more opportunities to demonstrate your arrogant ignorance. (I’m sure that there will by typos along the way because as I wrote, I’m human, not perfect. I hope your panties don’t get too bunched up from them.

    You do understand, don’t you, Twit, we’re not talking about ordinary people on the street? we’re talking about public-owned airways and we’re talking about the self-proclaimed leader of the conservative movement in Amerika. Please, a bit of analysis here.

    You do understand, don’t you, asshat, those comments didn’t just come from ordinary people on the street? From Air America to people right there in the United State Congress, I’m sure you had no problem with the childish insults hurled at a Republican for eight years. You only care about what does out on the “public owned airwaves” if you can come on here and say something stupid about it.

    In a related note: Do you keep your head buried up your ass for the smell or the warmth? Don’t bother answering. I have much more important things to take care of than wait for your response. Like clipping my toenails or watching the grass grow.

  • bobbimc

    To get respect you must earn it. Unfortunately, Obama and his pals have yet to earn it. Where is the respect for the American people. He laughs at us. The puppet that he is. So here’s the bottom line. Taxes are being raised at the town, county, state and federal levels. Who’s going to have any money left. The middle class gets poorer. Who’s going to take care of all the gimme monsters. The Federal Government. Wow! doesn’t that make us all feel safe and secure. While this is still the United States of America, let it fly. Freedom of speech is still here, but probably not for much longer. The truth always wins in the end. Although it may be a very long end.

  • Snidely

    President Obama IS a Democrat, right? The donkey – jackass – IS the symbol of the Democratic Party, right? So, what is the problem?
