Flashback: Obama Wanted to Charge Wounded Veterans for Treatment May 22, 2014, by Rush Limbaugh BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: Ralph in Omaha. Welcome to the program. Hello. CALLER: Thanks, Rush. It's a real honor to be speaking with you. I'm calling because I find Obama's outrage over medical care for the veterans IS MORE THAN A BIT DISINGENUOUS.I recall when he first was elected to office, that it was his thinking thatsince the military were all volunteers anyway,that they should be buying their own medical insurance.And if this was his thinking then, I don't see it being changed now. RUSH:...

Traveling down I-95, headed home to Florida from visiting Mary and my parents in Maryland and West Virginia, I found myself yelling in frustration at my radio. Rush Limbaugh asked: Who gives the left power to silence opposition, control speech, and get people fired or ordered into sensitivity training? Rush rattled off numerous examples to prove his point, including a mere 50 leftist student protesters at Rutgers successfully forcing Condoleezza Rice to back down from giving their commencement speech. Who gives the left such power? I yelled, “We do!” By the way, while in West Virginia, I attended Mary's dad's...

Liberals across America are up in arms about Rush Limbaugh being awarded “Author of the Year” by the Children’s Book Council after the group held an online vote premised on it being restricted to kids. Interestingly, several leftists of MSNBC’s ilk attempted to get the book banned from the election process, knowing that the hot-selling children’s book was a candidate to win the title. Reverend Al and his panel of unremorseful left-wing zealots splashed as much haterade as possible, spewing as much denial and contempt as they could on Rush winning the award.

EW didn’t receive a review copy of this book, so we have not actually read it (consider this top of my weekend to-do list), but here are some reactions from other critics:

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: A lot of people are really all excited about what happened to Jill Abramson yesterday. Jill Abramson, what was she, the managing editor of the New York Times, the first female managing editor of the New York Times, and she was fired. They tried to talk her into going along with the idea that she resigned. They asked her to show up at the meeting with the staff where they announced her replacement, the first African-American managing director, Dean Baquet, but she wouldn't go along with it. She got canned. You wouldn't believe the Stack of Stuff...

DRUDGE FLASH: RUSH LIMBAUGH WINS 'AUTHOR OF THE YEAR' FROM CHILDREN'S BOOK COUNCIL

<p>Jon Stewart took on Boko Haram and the #BringBackOurGirls campaign, but took an aside to issue a strong “f*ck you” to Rush Limbaugh for mocking and belittling the hashtag activism over the kidnapping of hundreds of Nigerian girls.</p> <p>Stewart tore into Boko Haram and said that #BringBackOurGirls actually proves Twitter can be more useful than you might think at pressuring people to do something. And so in reaction to Limbaugh rolling his eyes at the hashtag activism, Stewart came up with a new hashtag for people to use: #F*ckYouRush. Stewart even contrasted the people speaking out on the girls’ behalf with “that f*cking guy” Limbaugh to show what the two sides are in this argument.</p>

Conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh slammed the Twitter hashtag campaign, #BringBackOurGirls, which is drawing attention to the kidnappings of schoolgirls in Nigeria, calling it “pathetic.” “I just think this is pathetic. I’m just stunned. We got 300 Nigerian girls kidnapped by an Al Qaeda group, and nobody cared or talked about it for a while, Hillary [Clinton] wouldn’t call ‘em a terror group. Now all of a sudden, for some reason, we’re on a big push to get ‘em back and this is how… ?” Limbaugh said Thursday on his radio program, according to a transcript.

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: How many of you believe that eating eggs and mayonnaise and steak and other high fat foods is a no-no, shouldn't do it. It's gonna lead to obesity -- fat, if you're in Rio Linda. It's gonna lead to cholesterol. It's gonna lead to clogged arteries. It's gonna lead to your death, prematurely. You shouldn't get anywhere near it. How many of you believe it? I would venture to say almost everybody believes it, even the people who eat the stuff and they're willing to take the risk. I think probably everybody simple because this has been...

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: Look, folks, we're gonna get into Benghazi today and we're gonna turn it upside down and inside out.  When I finish you're not gonna have any questions remaining.  Everything is gonna be explained to you, and it's pretty much gonna confirm our original instincts and suspicions --massive lying at the White House. Jay Carney is continuing to lie, and he's not very good at it, which distinguishes him from other White House press secretaries.  They're normally good at lying for liars.  He's not.  But it's gonna confirm most everything we've always thought. It's gonna confirm...

Full title - "Are You Kidding Me? With Obama in Freefall, GOP Prepares to Give Him What He Wants on Obamacare and Amnesty" RUSH: This is from National Journal. These are the people that do Hotline. This is a left-wing typical mainstream media organization. Nothing really new here except that it's all bad news for Obama. Do you remember the 2012 exit polls? I saw the first wave of exit polls at five o'clock. You might remember I mentioned this to you. I saw a question and the answer that made me realize Romney had lost, at five o'clock. There...

WELCOME To The NO Rush Limbaugh Show, Erick Erickson Subs!

RUSH: Virgil in Columbus, Ohio. It's great to have you on the program, sir. Glad you waited. CALLER: Thanks a lot, Rush. How are you today, buddy? RUSH: Just fine. Thanks much. CALLER: It's wonderful to talk to someone with a backbone. I don't have a question or anything. I just want to tell you that I sent my son to school one day for show-and-tell with your book, Rush Revere. RUSH: How old is your son? CALLER: The teacher was against it. RUSH: How old is your son? CALLER: Nine. RUSH: Nine. Okay so you send your nine-year-old son...

(Snip) At long last, it appears that Rush Limbaugh has run out of steam. I have to acknowledge that I have sensed Rush getting by on fumes for some time now (yes, I tune into his show from time to time to enjoy his broadcasting skills if not his message). However, it was only recently that the world of Limbaugh crossed that thin red line from partially serious to total self-parody and audience deception—a line crossed from which there is often no return. It happened on the occasion of Stephen Colbert’s appointment to fill David Letterman’s soon to be vacated...

RUSH:  I understand, ladies and gentlemen, that my occasional usage of the word "concomitant" and "concomitantly" is irritating Freepers at FreeRepublic.com.  "Yes, and if I hear that word and his pronunciation one more time, I will scream!"  I guess some prefer "con-com-i-TANT-ly."  At any rate, I was watching a show, a BBC show -- a fascinating show, by the way.  I hope it's made available in America. It's from the BBC, about Kim Philby.  It's a two-parter. I think it's an hour and 45 minutes each, whatever. It's an hour, hour and a half, maybe it's two hours. So there...

LOLOLOl...

CBS’s decision to replace David Letterman with comic Stephen Colbert is an open act of contempt toward ordinary Americans, Rush Limbaugh says.

Listening to Limbaugh at the moment, and I have got to hand it to Rush. He is going off on the left, for what happened to the former Mozille chief. Way to go Rush. Well said.
