Why does Rush Limbaugh hate America?

Obsolete, hypocritical bigot panders to minuscule, racist fan base

Some loud mouth rabble-rousing drug addicts will say just about anything to persuade themselves that they're relevant to the national discourse. Funny how critics of Bush's obvious and compound mistakes were, in Limbaugh's mind, evil, anti-American folks, but it's patriotic, by his reckoning, to wish for the current administration's failure before they've had a chance to do anything? Yes, that's what he said. Rush Limbaugh "wants" Obama "to fail."

Can we break that down? Rush Limbaugh want unemployment and bankruptcies to rise while American businesses shut their doors forever? Rush Limbaugh wants millions of Americans to lose their homes to foreclosure? Rush Limbaugh wants veterans and civilians alike suffering for lack of adequate health care? Rush Limbaugh wants the continued suspension of Constitutional rights and American freedoms? Rush Limbaugh wants America to pour billions of dollars and the lives of young Americans into the bottomless sinkhole of an unwinnable war? Rush Limbaugh wants to garner the animosity of every other nation in the world?

Does Rush Limbaugh get a paycheck from the KKK? Who are these people who continue to encourage this hatemonger to speak publicly?

And, of course, the subtext: Rush Limbaugh wants to return to the witch hunt mentality of the 1950s HUAC red scare, and will point to the bugaboo shadow of "socialism" in a vain attempt to foment fear of change while stamping out the possibility of hope.

Or does Rush Limbaugh want the title of "Most Ignorant Person in America"? He's got my vote. I hope he succeeds. Here's a note, Rush Limbaugh: the majority of thinking Americans do not fear the word "socialism" because we know that's your shorthand for "more equal distribution of resources." It's only a frightening concept for greedy xenophobes. If Bill Gates and Warren Buffet aren't afraid of it, what's your problem?

We're going to file this one under "comedy" and move on.
