Rush Reads Mediaite, But Oh, No! He Struggles To Say Our Name!

» 84 comments

Say what you want about us, Rush, just pronounce our name right.

Radio giant Rush Limbaugh spent some time on his radio show Wednesday chuckling over a Mediaite story by Tommy Christopher that says this of El Rushbo: “(he) is not only a race-baiter,
he is a coward.

Telling his vast Army of listeners that the “American left is in a tizzy today” Rush discusses the story, but goes on to stumble over our name–twice. Nooooo!

“This is from Mediaite…or Media-ate,” Limbaugh says, and then later settles on yet a third way of saying the site’s name:

“This is on Mediaite…or Media-ate. Mediate! Yeah, that’s what it is. Mediate! It’s a blog that Dan Abrams, used to be on MSNBC, started.”

Listen to the segment–and all the ways you, too, can say Mediaite–here: (h/t Judy Fox Fair)

    Fat and stupid is no way to go through life, Rush.

    I first heard of Mediaite from Rush several months ago….maybe he should bill you for promoting your blog.

  • Seeing 2012 From My Window

    Hey Mark, he was making fun of you.

  • sarainitaly

    I didn’t realize black people were the only people who were in gangs, and tagged….

    isn’t it kind of racist of Tommy to make the link between *gang* and *tagging* and black people?

  • Moderate

    You should be nice to Rush and Fox News, they could be your best source for new eyeballs. Tommy Christopher may not like their audience but f**k him if he resents the new people.

    Mush uses childish wordplay to mock his more sentient observers . . . and demonstrate his ignorance.

    The mental five-year-olds who listen to him are delighted and amused by his antics – even as he lies through his teeth at them.

  • redleaf

    Rush mispronounced the name because that’s his way of being dismissive of a site run by a former employee of MSNBC. The idea being Mediaite is so unimportant and beneath him that he can’t be bothered to learn its name.

    If Mediaite were run by Andrew Breitbart, do you really think he’d have trouble saying the word?

  • http://www.mediaite.com Mark Joyella

    I can only hope–and I may light a candle on my way home tonight–that Rush spends some time on his show stumbling over my name. In fact, I dare him! Double dare him!

  • Seeing 2012 From My Window

    Well, to be fair, Breitbart wouldn’t write the race-baiting piece, so your point doesn’t really apply.

    Tommy Christopher needs to use Rush’s hearing aide when he listens to Rush. He has that liberal gene that distorts what any conservative says.
    Rush has NEVER said anything racist. If a conservative says, “I have a black car.”, they would say that was a racist statement. Anytime a conservative says the word black, that would be racist.

    The American people have wised up to that act. It won’t work anymore.
    Now we can tell the truth about people like Rangle and Maxine Waters.

    I understand your desire to shoehorn in a snarky remark, but it doesn’t address the question.
    Rush mispronounced the word Mediaite because the wordplay implies the site was beneath him. If the site were run by a conservative, he would have made a point of pronouncing its name correctly. Now, I guess you can follow up my comment with another off-topic liberal criticism. But that doesn’t change what Rush was doing in mispronouncing the name of a site run by a liberal. If you’d like to address that charge, I would eagerly await your answer.

    Gordo, you really need to ease up there. All your personal heroes seem to be racists… Rushy, Annie, Glenny, and BillyO. All of whom are dismissive to the African American community because they are in the minority. In fact, dismissive to all minorities and LGBT’s. Money, and the ability to make your employer money, may make some successful and too big to be fired for being an absolute ignorant ass, but it doesn’t change the fact that there is an ever growing population of people who DON’T GIVE A SHIT THAT A PERSON IS ANYTHING BUT HUMAN!!!!! He can keep on playing to the part of the country that never got over the civil rights movement. They won’t be around that much longer.

    If having the liberal gene, as you call it, means I have a conscience, a soul, a willingness to help people, a want for a better world, then I will take that sickness anytime over whatever it is that you describe what you have.

    Also, I’m still not using my real name Gordo. Hope that’s not too painful for you.

    Our entire government is based on taxing it’s citizens to pay for running this country and the 50 states within it. Has nothing to do with being liberal or conservative. Helping others is the price we pay for being the most powerful in the world. 200+ years ago our country was helped financially when it was desperately needed… It worked. If we opened the books of the entire government going back 100 years, through all presidencies, I’m pretty sure we’d find a reason to hate them all even more.

    Government is the only institution in the country that can do that. The military is there ti help secure the country – it’s done with other people’s money.

    If you look at other industrial democracies with stronger government intervention and social programs, they have larger middle classes, zero bankruptcies due to medical costs, less poverty, no issues with college debt, etc. Government using taxes to make a better society is a force that can be used for good. The main problem we have with this country is that half of the population says government sucks, and then when they get into power they prove it.

    The majority of this country, the vast majority, make the richest 2% of this country richer and richer. Why? Because they pay themselves more and more while the rest worry about whether or not they will have a job the next day. 25 years ago the the richest made 40x more than the average worker, now they make over 400x more than the average worker. It is greedy… it is evil… should Steve Jobs make over a billion a year? Maybe. But, should the people doing the programming that make the Ipad, Ipod, and Iphone make just as much?

  • cjd ohio 1

    but this country was not set up that way, government only has certain rights, it is set up to be a cluster fuck so that cant do too much damage, but times do change and i understand that, but sometimes things go a little too far

The main problem we have with this country is that half of the population says government sucks, and then when they get into power they prove it.

    These industrial democracies as you call them are almost entirely made up of smaller nations by both size and population, with relatively homogeneous populations politically, ethnically, racially and religiously. They have traditionally placed so many restrictions on immigration that they, like Europe and Canada, have been forced to import lower classes to do the labor the spoiled, mostly white, middle classes will no longer do because they take 3 months of vacation each year and retire at 55. Those European countries are rapidly now being overwhelmed by those imported lower classes, and are going broke as a result. Europe opened their doors mostly to Arab and African Muslims, who, once they arrived, decided they weren’t going to work. Instead, they’ve (purposely?) overwhelmed the social welfare systems of those systems and are reproducing at a rate that will bankrupt and colonize those countries in the next two decades. Those countries are now rapidly developing the same problems you criticize this country for having, and it’s hitting them like a brick wall.

    It has nothing to do with fair. It was designed to hopefully make sure that people wouldn’t be left in the streets. I don’t want to take anything away from anyone. I guess I’m just someone who believes in helping others in any way I can. I wish we could vote them all out and start fresh. Start with people who are not corrupted by people who have more than others, and who do not look to protect this nation, just their own interests.

    It’s great how conservatives, who bow down to a man whose job is to talk for hours a day to millions of people, are okay with the idea that Rush cannot pronounce a simple four syllable word. So either you worship someone who’s not as bright as you think or he mispronounced Mediaite for manipulative effect and his listeners are too drunk with Kool-Aid to understand.

    Either way, it is to laugh.

    Tommy Christopher is the most PREDICTABLY deranged of the Mediaite writers, and will probably croak soon if he doesn’t let go of his leftist fantasies and man up. Glynnis and Colby and the soon-to-be-gone Steve Krakauer at least will keep you guessing as they do have functioning frontal lobes attached to their cerebral cortex. TC evidently got his lobotomy before middle school and is now languishing in pre-school daydreams of “yes, you can” childish silliness, including imagining that you are “fair.” ‘Unfair and unbalanced,’ that’s TC’s mantra.

    Wow, they are really exposing themselves today. The guy really believes in class warfare. He is total economic ignoramus. What the rich make has no relation to anything anyone else makes. That guy making millions is not keeping me or anyone else from making millions. Taking away his money does not help me or anyone else. The government did nothing to help me make a dime. They don’t deserve ANY of my income. There should be NO tax on hard work. Tax consumption and the people that have more money spend more money and then they are taxed more. Save the regressive tax nonsense. Tax on essentials can be eliminated. If you are poor you can buy food and essentials and pay NO tax. That would be fair.

You want to believe they are racist but you want to believe everything he says is racist. I don’t have to defend him since he is not threatend by people lying about what he said. He can defend himself and does when he has too. He always wins.

    Sara, good job slapping that silly RRK around the head and shoulders, but he’ll never grow a spinal cord or a functional frontal lobe—-just the limbic liberal looking up his notable quotes on Puffington Host and other Soros-funded propaganda machines. RRK can’t be doing a labor of love, so what’s his motivation, if a reptilian mind can be motivated beyond fear and greed?

We could hand you a video tape of Rush calling people the n-word and you still wouldn’t believe it. You coud literally see him killing a man saying he only did it because he’s black and still not believe it. How do you say racist shit in context? Take the bone out of your nose? You can’t be this much of an intentionally blind idiot.

    Wow, they are really exposing themselves today. The guy really believes in class warfare. He is total economic ignoramus. What the rich make has no relation to anything anyone else makes. That guy making millions is not keeping me or anyone else from making millions. Taking away his money does not help me or anyone else. The government did nothing to help me make a dime. They don’t deserve ANY of my income. There should be NO tax on hard work. Tax consumption and the people that have more money spend more money and then they are taxed more. Save the regressive tax nonsense. Tax on essentials can be eliminated. If you are poor you can buy food and essentials and pay NO tax. That would be fair.

    Gordo, you don’t understand… You don’t get to lecture me. You don’t get to lecture anyone. You’re a professional hate monger who collects social security, and medicare. You take the worst parts of the pundits and entertainers that you envy and you make them your own. It doesn’t work. You’re not allowed to tell me my feelings. Do I believe in class warfare? No. The reason I don’t is because there is no war. The rich have won. The middle class and below have no say. We don’t have the money to have any say. There is no war. Putz!! What I believe to be racist is what everyone who isn’t a racist believes is racist. Putz!!

    You’re a poor excuse what you think you are. Just because Rushy read a letter from an old, white, right wing putz (you) we’re supposed to believe you’re a renaissance man? jeez.

    Kook, are you really trying the McNabb gambit? Have you seen the man play? Did you happen to catch Monday Night Football?

    McNabb, by all accounts, is a good guy. He’s also a relatively solid quarterback. But he’s just not a football star, and he never has been. Limbaugh was right, and he wasn’t talking about McNabb so much as he was talking about the media.

    He is one of the most talented athletes in the NFL, but that talent has not translated into greatness as a pro quarterback.

    McNabb has started for the Eagles since the 2000 season. In that time, the Eagles offense has never ranked higher than 10th in the league in yards gained. In fact, their 10th-place rank in 2002 was easily their best; in their two previous seasons, they were 17th in a 32-team league. They rank 31st so far in 2003.

    In contrast, the Eagles defense in those four seasons has never ranked lower than 10th in yards allowed. In 2001, they were seventh; in 2002 they were fourth; this year they’re fifth. It shouldn’t take a football Einstein to see that the Eagles’ strength over the past few seasons has been on defense, and Limbaugh is no football Einstein, which is probably why he spotted it.

    The news that the Eagles defense has “carried” them over this period should be neither surprising nor controversial to anyone with access to simple NFL statistics—or for that matter, with access to a television. Yet, McNabb has received an overwhelming share of media attention and thus the credit. Now why is this?

    That’s Allan Barra writing at Slate back when those remarks were made.

    Edit that to NFL star. McNabb was a stud in college. In the NFL, not so much.

    Rush is smeared as a racist ALL the time because the Left is threatened that he has such a strong audience and powerful voice. I used to believe the bullshit that he was a racist, and would just read the little snippits of *racist comments* attributed to him. NOW I know better – and I read the context of the show, and what he ACTUALLY said – and it isn’t what the left reports AT ALL.

    You can’t take hours upon hours of dialog and pull a tiny out of context snippit and smear someone a racist. The bone in the nose comment was from 40 years ago. FORTY YEARS> Have you never ever said ONE thing that you regret in your entire life? Ever? Look at your nasty little screeds above. You don’t think Rush ever has a bad day – gets fed up, says something he regrets?

    His shows are mini-stories, consisting of subtext, pretext, confrontation, exploration, dialog….you can’t pull one little tiny thing and use that against someone.

    Rush has been in radio for over 40+ years and the best you guys can come up with are a handful of unsourced, untraceable, unproven mystery quotes, or out and out lies. Or full on misrepresentations and out of context snippits intentionally used to smear him as racist.

    Forty plus years and that’s all you can come up with….lists that are just copy and pasted all over the internet, over and over again, full of holes.

    And yet, in one day, you’ve said nastier things in just one thread.

    Critiquing McNabb’s abilities – or lack of same – is fine. Dimbaugh shot himself in the foot – and crossed a line – by implying reverse-racial motives to the NFL that were not in evidence. The only color team owners care about is GREEN. He either did this to get publicity or he’s a fool. I think he’s a creep, but I don’t think he’s a fool.

    On the other hand . . .

    gordimshamshow: “The government did nothing to help me make a dime.”

    Another chest-thumping, empty-headed, baseless assertion. For one thing, they built the roads you drive on to get to your job to make those dimes – unless you happen to pay tolls at every corner.

    I forgot – you “work” in your mom’s basement. Never mind.

    “When people read my comments they say, Gordon really told that guy off, because they can read MY REAL name.”

    Does your arm hurt from patting yourself on the back so much?

    You don’t tell “that guy” or anyone else anything meaningful. You spout right-wing dogma without rationale or context. You expect intelligent people to blindly accept anything you spew merely because YOU say it. You never give tangible reasons WHY we should lend your vacuous bleating any credence.

    You only use your real name to flack your equally vacuous “show” (“live” from mom’s basement).

    Just because your pagan god, Limbotch, successfully deludes a bunch of clueless listeners doesn’t mean YOU can.

    It’s sort of the bizarre political paradox. Many on the progressive left like to try and label everyone in groups so that they’re all “the same”. Identical cogs in voting blocs. They seem more willing to let someone’s skin color, religion, sexual orientation define someone’s entire identity than someone on the right (who will probably let their job define them, if I’m being fair).

    The right will be accused of trying to do this through religion, where the left will be accused of doing it through government.

    I don’t know, my thoughts typically wander aimlessly. The attacks around here are so vicious anymore that I’m tentative to really say much of anything.
