Rush Limbaugh Calls Oprah Fat regarding her alleged Racist incident in Switzerland

Rush Limbaugh Calls 'The Oprah' 'Fat' Regarding Purse Purchase Incident - 8/9/13



August 9, 2013 - On his radio show Friday, Rush Limbaugh weighed in on Oprah Winfrey's recent brush with discrimination, wondering if maybe the clerk who turned away one of the richest women in the world was not being "racist" but instead just thought the media mogul was too "fat" to be shopping in her store. Much as President Obama recently revealed how he has experienced racism in the form of women "clutching their purses" when he stepped into an elevator, Winfrey this week told Entertainment Tonight a story about how she believes she was discriminated against in a Switzerland shop. She said a clerk refused to show her a handbag because, suggesting Winfrey would "not be able to afford" the $38,000 price tag. "I said, 'OK, thank you so much, you're probably right, I can't afford it' and walked out of the store. Now why did she do that?" Winfrey wondered.

After retelling the story to his radio listeners, Limbaugh said she's looking at it all wrong. "If I were Oprah, I'd be so happy I could go someplace and not be recognized," he said, adding, "we've all been insulted by retail people." Limbaugh found it hard to believe that race played any factor in the incident, saying, "Maybe it's because The Oprah's fat!"

"Maybe the judgement that The Oprah couldn't afford a $38,000 bag had nothing to do with her race, because aren't the Swiss enlightened in that regard?" Limbaugh asked. "There isn't any racism in Europe, right?"

Continuing down the path regarding Winfrey's weight, Limbaugh asked, "Don't most people think that the fat and the obese are poor and stupid? Where do you see fat people? You see them at places where things don't cost very much."

Rush Limbaugh denies the Rumors that Cumulus Media plans to drop his show

7/29/13 - Rush Limbaugh began his radio show Monday morning by addressing the news that Cumulus Media, the second-biggest radio broadcaster in the country, plans to drop his show from its stations by the end of the year. Limbaugh assured his readers that "nothing is going to change" in terms of their ability to hear him every morning. "There was another POLITICO story that ran last night on this program," Limbaugh began, referring to Dylan Byers' report. "Someday, I am looking forward to detailing all of this for you," Limbaugh continued, but for now he said he "must use proper business restraint."

"Suffice it to say, nothing is going to happen that you will notice," he reported. "Nothing is going to change. You will be able to get this radio program on as many, if not more radio stations down the road than it is on now."

Much in the same way that Mediaite's Noah Rothman laid out this morning why the host "is not going anywhere," Limbaugh said this story amounts to nothing more than a "public business negotiation."

"I just want to assure you," Limbaugh concluded, "everything's cool."

Notably, Limbaugh couched his language with enough loopholes so that if that report that Cumulus is dropping his show turns out to be true, he could still be right that "you will be able to get this radio program" on as many stations as you can now. As for whether listeners will "notice" the change, if other stations end up picking up his show, listeners will still be able to hear it, but they may have to program a new station on their radio.

Rush Limbaugh Slams Obama Economic Speech: 'There's Something Pathologically Wrong Here'

July 24, 2013 - RUSH LIMBAUGH: Oh, jeez. Folks, I can't react to this without... there's something pathologically wrong here. In the first place, "Washington has taken its eye off the ball, and I'm here to say this needs to stop." Now, I mentioned, I told you I heard that bite, I heard him say it live. He is Washington! This is the Limbaugh Theorem. He's articulating it himself. It's coming out of his own mouth. He's out there in Illinois claiming Washington hasn't been paying enough attention to the economy. They've been looking at the IRS. They've been looking at Benghazi. They have been looking into Obamacare, and they haven't been working on the economy, and (imitation) "I'm here in Illinois to make sure that they refocus in Washington," as though he has had nothing to do with it.

Rush Limbaugh Calls Into The Five: Praises Fox News, Battles With Beckel, And Slams Media Over Zimmerman

Rush Limbaugh called into Fox's The Five this afternoon for a wide-ranging interview that included open praise for Fox News, his thoughts on the George Zimmerman trial, immigration reform, and the future of the Republican Party.

Limbaugh kicked off the conversation by answering questions about whether he told his listeners to "stop watching Fox." He reiterated what he said on the air Tuesday afternoon that he meant the remark towards particular liberal pundits on television. He chalked the controversy up to the media's "desire" to "drive a wedge" among two of the more popular outlets for conservative media consumers — Fox and Limbaugh.

The radio host then offered up his thoughts on why The Five has been successful: "It's real," he said. "You guys make the show because it's a personality driven and it's just real. It just happens and it's relevant, it's topical. And all of you are relatively intelligent."

Co-host Andrea Tantaros asked the radio host to explain the nickname he gave her: Angela Tarantula. "It's a sexist answer," Limbaugh warned. "I come from a long-ago era where men could be men and stereotypical humor didn't offend anybody. You are so dominant and certain and confident I wouldn't want to mess with you."

The group then talked news-of-the-day with Limbaugh, asking him for his thoughts on the media coverage of the Zimmerman trial: "I think the media, you all excluded, is invested in a guilty verdict. And they are invested in a guilty verdict that is racial."

On immigration reform: "I really believe the Democrat Party needs a permanent underclass. They need a permanent dependent class of people low-educated, low-wage, low-skill dependent on government. They need that. Now as Americans climb the ladder of success and elevate themselves through the middle class and are less dependent on government, the Democrat races to replace them. They clearly see 11 million votes here."

On whether the GOP is attempting to appeal to some of the Democratic base through immigration reform: "We got the greatest opportunity — the Republicans do — to contrast themselves with what the Democrat Party stands for and they're not using it. They're trying to be Democrat Party light. They're trying to echo the Democrat Party, be perceived by them and liked by Democrat voters. It's a losing game."

And on the recent NSA scandal: "They've been doing that for ages," he said before asking to come back and talk on that issue in greater detail.

Rush Limbaugh: Media Agitating For Race Riots In Regard To Zimmerman Trial\


 July 3, 2013 - Conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh declared on Wednesday that the media's coverage of the trial of George Zimmerman for the 2012 murder of Trayvon Martin is designed to instigate race riots in the event the defendant is acquitted. He expressed his disappointment over the state of race relations in America, noting that the election of President Barack Obama was supposed to move the nation close to racial harmony.

"I have been so dumb," Limbaugh began. "I've been so gullible and just too trusting."

"I really thought that one of the reasons that we elected and then reelected Barack Obama was so that there would not be any more race riots," he continued. "I thought the election of the first black president would end racial strife, and so did millions of Americans who voted for Obama on that basis."

"Now we actually have media people agitating for race riots in regard to the George Zimmerman trial because the prosecution in this trial is imploding," Limbaugh declared. "We have a media that is totally invested in Zimmerman being found guilty and handing and then electrocuted and then drowned and then shot and then cremated for whatever happened to Trayvon Martin."

"Such high hopes," he concluded. "I really thought it was going to be the end to all this."

Rush Limbaugh Blog : Fox News Ignored My Requests To Talk About Immigration

July 2, 2013 - Rush Limbaugh said that Fox News ignored his requests to talk about immigration during his interview on Tuesday. Limbaugh spoke on "Fox and Friends," where he talked to the hosts about the situation in Egypt, the relationship between Palestine and Israel and the politics of health care reform. Later on his radio show, he said that the number one topic he wanted to discuss was immigration, but that the network did not seem to want to get into it.

"Now I told the people at Fox that I wanted to talk about this today three or four times and they wouldn't do it," he claimed. "They were not interested in bringing this subject up. I wanted to talk about this in relationship to the current state of the Republican party and they wouldn't do it."

"I had to bring it up myself to whatever extent I did, and that by the way, is quite telling to me," Limbaugh added.

Earlier on "Fox and Friends," he had warned that the Republican party was getting "skunked" on the issue of immigration reform, and that if it continued to do so, it could lose the House in 2014.

"You think that's a possibility?" Kilmeade asked.

Rush Limbaugh Thanks Michelle Malkin & Megyn Kelly For Mentioning His Generous Charitable Donations



 July 1, 2013: Today Michelle Malkin and Megyn Kelly were discussing Alec Baldwin's latest hate-speech-freakout on twitter and the hypocrisy of the left in eagerly welcoming him back after he apologized, excusing it by saying that it had a lot to do with his charitable givings. But Megyn Kelly mentioned Rush Limbaugh and the millions upon millions he has given to charity and how it never helps him.

After hearing it Rush said this is the first time his charitable giving has ever been mentioned in the media and he thanked both Megyn Kelly and Michelle Malkin for mentioning it.

RUSH LIMBAUGH Annoyed at Piers Morgan Using Old Crossfire Clip to Promote Renewal of Series

Rush Limbaugh 6/28/13 - Rush Limbaugh is not looking forward to CNN's new version of Crossfire. The radio host took particular offense to the fact that the network appears to be "promoting" the new show by using archived footage of Limbaugh sparring with former Crossfire host Michael Kinsley all the way back in 1990. Piers Morgan played the 23-year-old clip on his show Wednesday night before inviting the four new Crossfire co-hosts--S.E. Cupp, Van Jones, Newt Gingrich, and Stephanie Cutter--to have their first on-air debate over gay marriage and the Texas abortion filibuster.

On his show today, Limbaugh played a clip of Morgan pointing out the "younger Rush Limbaugh" on the original version of the show. Though he notably cut the CNN audio off before Morgan made his next statement: "Tonight the great news is that he's not back on Crossfire. He's too old and too boring."

"Of course, I have nothing to do with it but there they are using me," Limbaugh said of CNN. Though he left out the more damning part of what Morgan said about him, he still referred to the CNN host as "tired and worn out."

"Anyway, I've got nothing to do with the program," Limbaugh continued, "but it's just the case that every network uses me to sell their warmed-over shows that nobody wants to watch." Pointing out the fact that every other cable news show has become more like the original Crossfire since it went off the air in 2005, he added, "You can see Crossfire every night, day, whatever, on any cable TV channel."

Rush Limbaugh: Supreme Court Gay Marriage Rulings Part Of 'The Disintegration Of The United States'

6/26/13 - Rush Limbaugh gave a calm, reasoned response to the Supreme Court's rulings on same-sex marriage on Wednesday. Wait, did we say "calm" and "reasoned?" What we mean is that he said the Court had contributed to the "disintegration of the United States." For a man who earlier said it was inevitable that gay marriage was going to spread across the country, Limbaugh sure seemed perturbed. He also said that the rulings represented "the visible fracturing by the judiciary of American culture and American tradition."

Funny--we thought gay people were a part of American culture and American tradition! Thankfully, Rush Limbaugh was there to set us straight.

Rush Limbaugh on why College today is a total waste of time and Money, especially as related to careers

Rush Limbaugh on why college today is a total waste of time and money, especially as related to careers
From "The Rush Limbaugh Show" (Thursday, April 25, 2013 edition)

What’s wrong with the college system

It creates corporate drones

Students today leave school with so much debt that they lose their independence and become pawns of whatever company pays them enough to help make payments on their debt.

What it teaches is out of date by the time students graduate

When I was in college, learning about the internet meant understanding how to search using Archie and how to browse using gopher. Archie and gopher were dead technologies the minute I graduated. That’s the problem with a 4-years school system that operates in a world that changes every 4 months.

It doesn’t teach the way people learn

I bet you that a college graduate learns more in her first year on the job than she does in all four years in college.
People learn by doing, not by sitting in a class and being lectured to.

Four years of information is too much to retain

Students end up cramming as much information about a class as they need for to do well on a test and they forget almost all of it after they finish a semester. On graduation day, most students can’t remember what they learned a month before. What they learned as freshmen is a fuzzy memory at best.

Its promise is a hoax

Colleges say that over a lifetime, graduates earn as much as $1 million more than non-graduates. But, as Forbes pointed out in an article appropriately called The Great College Hoax, “A correlation between B.A.s and incomes is not proof of cause and effect. It may reflect nothing more than the fact that the economy rewards smart people and smart people are likely to go to college.”

The truth is that college is one big party

The evidence of the massive 4-year party that college really is can be see all over Facebook.
Are there some students who study hard and learn a lot in college? Yes, but most of those students are learning despite the environment, not because of it.

Rush Limbaugh ~ America is Dying

"We are living in a dying country": Rush Limbaugh 4/5/12 opening monologue on Obama economy

Why isn’t all of the States Reps demanding for a Audit of the Federal Reserve Bank? Why isn’t there a review or Audit on the Wall Street? where is the Ethics and Appropriations Committee? Where is the Checks & Balances to all this Hijacked insanity? and all on the Federal level? and gaining speed in the State Levels and now trickling down to the private sectors, you know as they say Shit roll’s down hill….Just a thought….We need more Politicians with a set of ball’s….and stop all of this stupidity………..

Rush Limbaugh on McCain And Graham Opposing Rand Paul, Dining With Obama: 'Who Are They Siding With?'

3/9/13 - Rush Limbaugh took a call from a listener Friday that set him off on a rant against Senators John McCain and Lindsey Graham for their opposition to Sen. Rand Paul's filibuster. The caller demanded that McCain and Graham make a public apology to Paul on the Senate floor, and Limbaugh agreed. "This incident, the Rand Paul filibuster," Limbaugh said, "has turned things upside down in Washington." He tied the older senators' backlash against the younger Paul to the dinner they had with President Obama Wednesday night. Limbaugh expressed his outrage over the fact that McCain and Graham were lobbing insults at Paul while at the same time sitting down to dine with the object of Paul's scorn. "Who are they siding with?" he asked.

Echoing Shepard Smith, who set off McCain by calling him "interventionist" Friday on Fox News, Limbaugh said, "There is a fear among McCain, Lindsey Graham, and others who favor an interventionist foreign policy." Specifically, he said, old guard neo-con Republicans fear that Rand Paul is following in his father's "isolationist" footsteps. "That's why they're calling Rand Paul a wacko," Limbaugh said, "because that's what they thought of Ron Paul."

Limbaugh appears to be using his massive platform to stoke the latest rift emerging in the Republican Party, between those who support Rand Paul's broad stand against military intervention and those, like McCain and Limbaugh, who would rather not disrupt the status quo.

Rush Limbaugh Wonders If Every Time Obama Says He's 'Not A Dictator' He's Really Wishing He Was

3/4/13 - During his show Monday, Rush Limbaugh used President Obama's assertion that he's "not a dictator" from last Friday's press conference to question the president's real motives when it comes to running the country. Limbaugh argued that President Obama "has a chip on his shoulder" about the country, believing that its founding was "unjust" and "immoral" and that the Constitution is an "obstacle" to him achieving more power. "Every time I hear him say he's not a dictator, he doesn't complete the statement, 'but I wish I was.'" But, as Limbaugh explains, that's no reason to think he doesn't mean it.

He went on to say that "the 230-year-old engine of prosperity in this country is under assault" and that it's "undeniable" that the economy is on a downward trend. When Limbaugh really finds remarkable though, is that the American people seem to only want to blame Republicans in Congress for their economic troubles, not the president.

Limbaugh is certainly correct about this phenomenon when it comes to the sequester. A Washington Post-Pew poll released before Friday's budget deadline came and went found that 45 percent of Americans would blame congressional Republicans for failing to come to a deal wheras only 32 percent would blame President Obama.

Rush Limbaugh Rips Obama: He Enjoys Reciting Pain Americans Will Feel From Sequester

3/1/13 - With no deal ahead of the deadline for the automatic spending cuts to take effect, President Obama held a press conference on Friday — during which he continued to point the finger at Republicans, holding them accountable for lack of progress. Rush Limbaugh grew tired of this reasoning, during his show, criticizing Obama for feigned concern.

The presser and everything Obama said leading up to it has been "narcissistic" and "self-indulgent," Limbaugh asserted, adding, "I've never seen this kind of self-absorption."

"This president stands up there today and he enjoys, folks, reciting the kind of pain Americans are going to feel," he continued. "He is supposed to be doing things to prevent all of this, and yet not only is he not doing things to prevent it, he is encouraging these kinds of hurtful, harmful things to happen so he can blame the Republicans for it."

Contending that Obama's objective is to rid himself of political opposition, the radio host went on to say the president "benefits, politically, career-wise, he benefits from this pain" — so long as the blame is pushed onto someone else.

"There is no real concern for people and their lives," he said. "That's feigned."

Obama's 2012 interview with the Des Moines Register foreshadowed this despite his insisting the automatic cuts weren't his idea, Limbaugh continued. Specifically, he cited the quote in which Obama said: "So when you combine the Bush tax cuts expiring, the sequester in place, the commitment of both myself and my opponent...we're going to be in a position where I believe in the first six months we are going to solve that big piece of business."

Yet he said the sequester wouldn't happen during a presidential debate, Limbaugh noted — and both statements can't be true. In the Register interview, he concluded, Obama meant what he said.

Rush Limbaugh: Government Targeting Your 401K

401k is a huge ripoff and a ponzi scheme! 401k are scams. after inflation, taxes, and fees you basically keep 10% percent of your money while you take all the risk and the wall street criminals get all the benefits. I foresee those who are investing in 401k's and bonds are going to lose big time! Due to the enormous debt that the government owes the federal reserve, they are going after to suck up by taxes, penalities, and hidden pension fees in order to suck up a person's investment money out of their 401k's , you should cash out your 401K and invest that money in physical gold and silver , Every time you buy Precious Metals or other assets, you are declaring your independence from Banks and Governments. You are taking wealth out of their hands and putting it into your own. This isn't advice, just what I've done. It's a tough choice, but if you decide to do it, do it soon while it's still legal, and before the government decides to seize your 401k for "the good of the country."

Rush Limbaugh explains his "I'm ashamed of my country" comments

Broadcast Rush Limbaugh Show 2-22-13 ,Rush Limbaugh Explains 'Ashamed Of My Country' Comments: 'The Left Has Beaten Us'

2/22/13 - Rush Limbaugh knew that his radio show ratings would be up after his controversial comments from Thursday about being "ashamed of my country" for the first time. He welcomed his new listeners by saying, "I realize that many of you tuned in today wanting to hear more of this... You wanted to hear more about it, and I haven't really discussed it yet and you're probably angry, and I want to tell you why." He went on to explain that he "didn't say this yesterday to generate attention, interest, or whatever. I don't do that. That's not the reason I say anything, any day." But he did admit to waiting until the later part of his show to address the comments because of "the old broadcast trick of hooking you in and keeping you waiting." Limbaugh then spent two minutes replaying the essence of what he said on Thursday's show, which has ironically drawn similar criticism to what First Lady Michelle Obama said in 2008 about being "proud of her country for the first time." Once the excerpt was over, he began to clarify what he had meant, in order to fend off accusations that he's "ashamed" of himself. On the contrary, Limbaugh continued to insist that he's "ashamed" of the liberal direction in which the country has gone, despite his best efforts to "inform" the people. "Anyway, my point with all this is that for 25 years, folks, we've been dealing with the same premise: "Unless we spend another dime, the country is going to cease to exist," and for 25 years I have responded to each premise on what I call an intellectual, point-by-point basis refuting every claim. The purpose of this program has been to create as large a body of informed voting citizens as possible. While we've been largely and profoundly successful at that, the left has beaten us. They have created far more low-information, unaware, uneducated people than we've been able to keep up with. We've had a profound impact in improving, increasing that universe of people — citizens — who are in the arena of ideas now, who are informed and educated. I've always had a Civics 101 view of the country: People get what they want, they vote what they want, and they get the way they vote. And if a majority of people are educated and informed and know what's going on, liberalism — and these powerful forces that have ill intent to the country — can be defeated. Yet despite overwhelming success in creating more and more people who are informed and active and involved, the left has control of the education system — control of the pop culture, movies, TVs, books, music. We've just been outnumbered." Limbaugh spent several more minutes making his point, but the gist of his "shame" is summed up by the three paragraphs above. By the end of the segment, there was a real sense of resignation in Limbaugh's voice, a feeling that his brand of conservatism may have hit a wall. "I'm fed up with it," he said. "I can't do it anymore." He concluded by reiterating the sentiment that has drawn support from Sean Hannity and Herman Cain among other Republicans, saying, "The whole thing is shamefully absurd. I don't know how else to say it."
