Rush Limbaugh is the real joke here

  • Follow Letters

Do you know what's funny? Chastising Wanda Sykes for her organ failure joke ("What's so funny?" May 14). Wow! I thought we were in a recession, and this is all The Augusta Chronicle can come up with for an editorial? Especially one aimed at Limbaugh?

I remember hearing him on his radio program a long while back, espousing disbelief in his medical condition concerning degenerative hearing loss. He was dumbfounded about his sudden inability to hear. Apparently, this genius never made the connection between massive opiate ingestion and loss of hearing. All the while, he opined about locking up drug users and throwing away the key!

The only thing more ironic and pitiful about this slothful, gluttonous hot-air bag are his listeners who take him seriously. Way to go, Wanda.

laking, I believe you started the name calling in your first "hate filled" post. And if think Limbaugh audience is in the South only, you are not only a hypocrite but a naive one as well.

He's well on the way to

He's well on the way to becoming a billionaire selling his hateful rhetoric to the most marginalized, the most uneducated, the most racist of his audience who happens to be here in the deep South daily blogging to this paper LTE.
Posted by laking on Mon May 25, 2009 1:41 PM....laking, I listen to him daily and I bet I am far more educated than you, dissman, Copperhead and your other leftist ilk. In fact, it has been proven that it is the more educated that listen to both Rush and Hannity. Unlike you, they, like Rush are the successful folks that truly worry about where this socialist closet Muslim is taking this country from which even our grand children will not be able to recover from unless we kick the DIMs out in 2010 and his azz in 2012.

Confederate Americans, lets

Confederate Americans, lets talk about the vestiges of slavery, the questions that people like you don't want to address and then maybe we'll see the real advances of civil rights(voting etc.)even in your life time. Were you borned with the right to vote? I wasn't. Don't portray yourself as someone that can identify with the oppression of the descendants of slaves because you can't. You always had a privledged life and will try to deny those that doesn't look like you the same opportunities that you and your descendants were accorded by the Constitution and I was not.
Posted by laking on Mon May 25, 2009 3:17 PM....I am white and no, I can't see life through a black person's eyes. HOwever, slavery ended over 100 years ago, Brown vs Bd of Ed was decided in 1954, blacks and other minorities were made "special" citizens under the Civil Rights Act and accompanying Affirmative Action (government sponsored discrimination) about 4 decades ago. If you ain't made it by now, it is YOUR fault, no one else's.

Maninthe mirror, Limbaugh

Maninthe mirror, Limbaugh FREQUENTLY states he wishes EVERYONE the same fortune he has enjoyed. However, he doesn't feel sorry for those who made poor decisions in life, nor do I. You make the bed you sleep in. I came from a poor family of 8 of the depression era, but was taught NOT to be satisfied with that bed, as I didn't make it.

Bet you know how to build your survival system as well, southern. Niko, you need to stop berating people who are different from you. I don't like your attitude. I don't believe you can find anywhere that I have berated people who come from your neck of the woods.

If there was truly a God and he was on the net and read the posts on this forum, he would wonder how a person, his wife and his clan (that hate our country) could actually be in the White House. I'm sure he would hate to see what's happening to our country now and why people are so easily led to the slaughter; while smiling all the way. He would wonder why people are so anxious to be taken care of and not willing to take responsibility for their own lives. He would want people to stop blaming eveyrone else for their problems. It would probably remind him of the days in Germany.

"I don't like your attitude. I don't believe you can find anywhere that I have berated people who come from your neck of the woods." Well KSL perhaps its high time you did. Kind with kind. Tolerance with tolerance. Perhaps waterboarding. Naw just kiddin. hee,hee,hee. I find the kritical thinking skills and the Karl Popper debating are truly exhiliratin'. As an aside Popper was an interesting fellow.

Well I think Rush Limbaugh is

Well I think Rush Limbaugh is an unbelievable rags to riches story-and what middle-aged, overweight, drug addicted (alcohol or prescripts) man wouldn't want to be a millionaire with a huge audience of fans. Man, sign me up. Most of you are just middle- aged, overweight, drug addicted men. Why not be rich and famous too. He probably is a radical liberal at heart and just makes up this crap to make money and appeal to conservatives. Stranger things have happened. Ya know-Wag the Dog.

laking, only a very small

laking, only a very small number of those who fought for the south/Confederacy owned slaves. Slavery was NOT the issue that led to the war, but the heavy handedness of the northern states's congressmen who attempted to curtail the southern economy (agricultural). Lincoln made slavery an issue to obtain the support of the abolitionists in the North (and some in the South) for the war. In case you didn't read it in your "history" book, the two largest slave owners in he US at the time wer BLACks in Louisianna who owned large plantations. I agree with CA, you need to read some real US history books and not the revisionist crap in our schools and colleges today. BTW, this has nothing to do with the LTE.

There you go again folks,

There you go again folks, just worrying about others and not so much about yourselves. Continue to live in the fear of the world prescribed by the GOP base. Stay fearful my friends! For me, I will stay thirsty and drink Dos Eqquis. Stay away from that CSRA Mexican food though because it will put on the pounds.

Part of what makes a good

Part of what makes a good school is the quality of students attending. My father's father didn't think much of northern schools in the 20's and sent his 3 children to private schools during the depression.

GACOPPERHEAD after this ill

GACOPPERHEAD after this ill received stupid comment: "Rush Is the obese, drug-addicted idiot the he proves himself to be every time he opens his mouth. It also says a lot about those who listen to his narcissistic ravings. He is TRULY a legend in his own mind......" Please post a picture of your puss gutted self so the rest of the posters may comment on you. I feel certain this is a mild Comment on what yours would receive

Well laking.....I can't talk

Well laking.....I can't talk Reconstruction but I was around when Seperate but Equal was coming to an end. All of the old hard core racists I knew back in the 50s during desegregation said: "We will have rampant black crime (well they didn't say black) . They will defile our women and leave us with a bunch of mixed race babies to be raised on welfare paid for by the taxpayer (I know, that was just a sexual insecurity thing). We will have a bunch of "hop heads" (I think they meant drug users) robbing and raping and murdering. If they integrate the schools America will go from number 1 in the world for education to the bottom of the list. The next thing you know they'll be wanting to elect one president." Now I was just a kid back then and didn't pay them much attention. But I do remember one other thing. They were ALL staunch Democrats. I'll bet they would be ashamed of themselves if they could see how well things turned out 50 years later.

laking: while you are

laking: while you are castigating the "slave oweners" of yesteryear, you should also remember that BLACKS OWNED MANY MORE SLAVES THAN WHITES. Furthermore, BLACK OWNED INDENTURED SERVANTS WHO WERE WHITE. Get your facts straight and learn some history...its in the archives of many states. So you don't like anyone who speaks a different political tone than your stunted views......too bad, we have rights too.
