My dad listens to this clown only to mock him and I happen to catch this babbling idiot tell his listeners that he would pack up and move to Costa Rica (a country that has universal health care) if the Health Care Bill passed. Well it passed (although I agree that it needs some revisions and amendments) and he's still here! I'd be willing to help him pack! What's he waiting for?

  What Rush said was -
  
  “I’ll just tell you this. If this passes and its five years from now, and all that stuff gets implemented, I am leaving the country. I’ll go to Costa Rica.”
  
  He later retracted and modified - but the original offer was to MOVE.

  Rush Limbaugh Chooses Costa Rica for Health Care
  Aug 23rd, 2010 | Category: Health
  Coming from a conservative icon, this is a great compliment for the Central American nation.
  
  In March 2010, Limbaugh stated on his radio show, with listeners in the tens of millions, that he would go to Costa Rica for medical treatment if Congress passed the reforms to the US healthcare system, commonly known as Obamacare.

  Regardless, if he's going to get his health care in Costa Rica, he's going to be treated by doctors trained and paid for by a medical system far more socialist than anything that was ever even proposed in Obama's health care reform efforts, let alone what eventually passed.

  Olbermann Suspended From MSNBC for Campaign Donations
  By BRIAN STELTER AND BILL CARTER
  Keith Olbermann, the top anchor on MSNBC, was suspended on Friday after the channel discovered that he had made campaign contributions to three Democrats.
  
  The MSNBC president, Phil Griffin, issued a statement saying, “I became aware of Keith’s political contributions late last night. Mindful of NBC News policy and standards, I have suspended him indefinitely without pay.”
  
  No one at NBC News would speculate about what this might mean for Mr. Olbermann’s future, though one NBC executive suggested this was not a step toward firing him.
  
  Politico had reported Friday morning that Mr. Olbermann’s contributions were in apparent violation of MSNBC policy.
  
  Mr. Olbermann hosts the most popular program on MSNBC, “Countdown.” He worked at MSNBC in the late 1990s and re-joined the channel in 2003.
  
  He has long been a volatile figure inside MSNBC, in part for his polarizing points of view. He has sometimes clashed with Mr. Griffin and other managers over editorial decisions, and he has been publicly critical of some of his former bosses.
  
  Mr. Olbermann did not immediately respond to a request for comment after the suspension was announced Friday afternoon.

Here's what the Costa Ricans would no doubt say about Rush coming to their country. They would refer to him as:
Ma'e, used akin to the English word "dude", although literally meaning something more like "idiot". Generally spoken among friends. It's pronounced 'my'.

Rush on drug addicts:

Dec. 16, 1994: "So we're not going to get on -- we don't fault these
animals for a lack of discipline, but we get on human beings who are fat
for lack of discipline and you know it and I know it. But here's the
thing that struck me about this. We have alcoholics and drug addicts in
our society, don't we? And what do we say about them? Well, they can't
help it. Why, it's genetic. Why, they have a disease. Why, put one
thimbleful of scotch in front of them and they can die.' We totally
exempt them from any control over their lives, do we not? Some athlete
will spend two years snorting lines of coke. 'He can't help it.' You
know, it's -- it's just -- it's not -- it's -- it's genetic. These
people -- they're predisposed to having this addictive syndrome. They --
they can't help -- yeah, like that line of cocaine just happened to
march into the hotel, go up to the athlete's room and put itself right
there in front of him on his blotter."

Even better:

Jan. 15, 1996: "... there were a couple of drug convictions out in -- I
think it was a Colorado court. And these guys had -- had done some
really bad stuff, and there were mandated federal sentences for the
crimes they had committed. And the judge apologized to the criminals
while sentencing them because he thought it was too severe. He
apologized and the community was outraged. So we've gone from a judge
sentencing a mother who makes her child beg six months in jail, to
judges apologizing for getting dope dealers and crack dealers and drug
salesmen off the streets with too severe a sentence."

Remember how he was crying that the gvt was unfairly targetting him for Doctor Shopping?
Ooooo, then it was too severe for him, but of course, not for a mother.

  Actually, LMC, the president is going to India to talk about trade. More outsourcing. The study of global economics and global sourcing tells us that in order to maintain a status quo among nations, to elevate less priveleged countries, we source products from them even though we can create the same product at home. We pay tariffs, have trade deficits, impose embargos, etc. all in the name of fair trade, to put it simply. Many corporations outsource (have business in foreign countries) because it is cheaper to do so. They pay little or no tax until the product is exported back to the U.S. Ironically, it is still cheaper for them to do business this way. If you owned a business, I am confident you would find the most cost effective way to do business. I could be wrong though. Maybe you are a true idealist and would simply give all your money to the poor.

  he wants to Tax Corporations that take their profits from Operations outside the U.S. he is actualy trying to stop it, not help it.
  
  I do not agree with everything he does, but he is not out-sourcing us at all.
  
  He spoke today about a raw goods export deal, and possibly making that tarrif friendly in order for us to do that, it increases Jobs and exports.
  
  he also spoke of Market opening negotiations to. He knows we need to sell to be able to produce, and have jobs.
  
  India wants a trade deal with the U.S. and also Military upgrades to be added on to it, specificaly The F-18 Hornet. to update thier French based out dated air force. France can not support the up-keep of the planes with replacement parts.

Really, this thread has degenerated into "You lie" and "Rush is dumb?" Is that the extent of reasoned discussion here? Rush Limbaugh is an extremely talented entertainer and a clearly and honestly partisan political analyst.

There are plenty of entertainers we are expected to elevate as examples of wonderful thinkers and reformers. George Clooney and Bono leap to mind. We are supposed to accept the political analysis of talking heads on MSNBC, CNN, NPR as objective and non- partisan. The only difference between Rush and these people is his political philosophy.

If one were to spend anytime reading about the recent history of the radio broadcasting business they would quickly understand that Rush almost singlehandedly rescued the AM band. His syndication model opened radio broadcasting up for thousands of radio programs many of which are not political. As a radio pioneer on a new frontier of broadcasting he has been very successful and not because of who listens but rather that they listen.

  Actually, LMC, tax cuts don't balloon the deficit. Spending does. If I understand you correctly, you want more money taken out of your paycheck?
  
  I'm not in the same universe you're in. Of that I am sure.

  No I do not. I can barely survive as it is.
  I want more taken out of the Uber Rich, since Bush gave them such a good deal when he was in charge.
  
  Time they pay the piper, which the rest of us have been playing in order for them to Jump in income beyond measure.
  
  Look at the income gap....do you think that happened by accident?
  No--it was public policy that did it. Cheney; "You are our base, and we will support you."
  
  Enough! They can pay to live here and contribute like the rest of us....many of whom work our butts off simply to exist.

Rush Limbaugh calls it like he sees it. He is a brillian political analyst and chastises both parties equally when called for.

  The McCain-Kennedy Immigration Bill, the medicare drug benefit, the steel tariff, McCain-Feingold Bill and George W. Bush signing it... there are several times when Republicans and George W. Bush supported policies with which Limbaugh disagreed that he spoke out against them. As for speaking out against the Tea Party Movement - what policy that they support would not be supported by Limbaugh? If there is one I do not doubt that he will speak out against it.

Did he personally insult Bush, or just insult the policies?

His insults on Obama, and Clinton are and were purely personal, and nasty.

Did he do the same to Bush and McCain? Feingold, I'm sure he must have insulted personally.
