For all Rush Limbaugh fans

Taken from a segment on Countdown on Wednesday. Laurence O'Donnell speaking about MSNBC and Keith Olbermann's involvment in the free health clinics that are being set up all over the country. The comparison between Keith Olbermann's personal contribution and Rush Limbaugh's over so generous contribution of a product he didn't even pay for should say it all. I guess the $400 million dollar man can't afford to give something personally . . . .

O'DONNELL:

"It was on this program where many of you learned of the good and important work done by the National Association of Free Clinics. Through the generosity of people like you providing free health care to the uninsured, giving hope to thousands who haven‘t seen a doctor in years. But progressives have no monopoly on generosity, such charitable impulses as those that drove our own Keith Olbermann to put his money and passion into the free clinic program occur all across the political spectrum in this country.

Hear now the compassionate conservatism of Mr. Rush Limbaugh when confronted today on his radio circus with the harsh realities of the nearly 16 million unemployed in this country. While speaking to an out-of-work listener, he was moved to do something. Not a jobs fair, no large scale approach. Rush offered, not a job, but something he thought the 49-year-old man would like even better. Of course, the unemployed man had to pass a political test first."

RUSH LIMBAUGH, RADIO TALK SHOW HOST: You didn‘t vote for Obama, did you?

UNIDENTIFIED CALLER: No. No, I didn‘t, sir.

LIMBAUGH: All right.

UNIDENTIFIED CALLER: And I couldn‘t imagine voting for him. It just kind of—you know, more of a gut feeling than anything.

LIMBAUGH: You know what I want? I want to give you something. I want to give you something. I can hear the stress. I can hear the nervousness. I‘m going to give you a much of HoMedics massagers. I am going to send—they are one of our best sponsors here. They‘re Snerdley‘s favorite sponsor, and they are fabulous, and the price is not that expensive at all. They start at $29.99. Hold on to Snerdley to get your address. At least while you‘re looking for a job, you can get a massage at the same time on us.

Wow, that kind of compassion is so heart warming . . . . brings a tear to the eye

You must have not read her post. Her very first sentence (sm) - Nikki

reads as follows below, yet you somehow come to the conclusion that she listens to Limbaugh. Please explain how that could possibly happen unless you simply didn't read it. And before you arbitrarily dismiss MSNBC as not being a reputable source, I saw the show that night, and this transcript matches what I saw/heard. Here is the video of that segment that contains Rush's "generous offer" to his unemployed caller. I don't expect you to listen to it all, but the audio of Rush begins at around 6 minutes. I also was aware that Olbermann was heavily involved in donating tens of thousands of dollars for setting up free health clinics, particularly in the states where the politicians are likely to vote no on healthcare reform ($10,000 per clinic, as I recall).

The video can be found at: http://critterscrap.blogspot.com/2009/11/rush-limbaughs-solution-to-joblessness.html

There is a STORY here, a good story. Too bad you didn't read it.

(First paragraph of post that has absolutely ZERO reference of the poster being a Rush listener:)

to his knees. (probably needs help getting up.) I seem to remember him saying he would never apologize. The apology was inadequate though and I hope he continues to be hounded. He apologized for inappropriate wording and said it was not personal. He said things about this woman for 3 days -- including asking for sex tapes, saying her parents should be ashamed of her and saying she could barely walk due to over-sexing, and he apologizes for 2 words.

He was seen golfing at Waialae Country Club earlier this week. The country club is next to the Kahala Hotel and Resort.The radio show host had been in the islands during the holidays. Coincidentally, his visit comes at a time when two of the nation's most powerful Democrats, President Barack Obama and House Speaker Nancy ...

By David Edwards and Daniel TencerMonday, January 18th, 2010 -- 10:54 am Ann Coulter is jealous of the attention Rush Limbaugh has been getting since making his comment about the Obama administration wanting to exploit the Haitian tragedy to "burnish" his credentials with the black community. So she's making a conscious effort to out-controversy the controversial radio host, and on Fox News on Sunday, she didn't make much effort to keep that a secret. "Stop asking about Rush's ...

I can't believe Rush can't find anything better to complain about than an awareness campaign regarding over 200 kidnapped girls. It was a South African activist who started this campaign (although the misinformed are claiming Michelle Obama started it) and these days, Twitter campaigns have played a leading role in spreading information in a world where people seem to have technology-induced ADD. Not to mention the fact that the President caught flack for sending assistance to Nigeria ...

By Rachel Rose Hartman rachel Rose Hartman Radio host Rush Limbaugh poked fun at Michelle Obama's waistline Monday; the latest entry in a string of conservative attacks on the First Lady's anti-obesity campaign.

Rush Limbaugh is confused. He just can't understand why the Republican Party has so much trouble with blacks, Hispanics and women. Here's how he put it on his nationally syndicated radio show, channeling the way that a lot of conservatives are feeling after looking at the demographic breakdown of Election 2012: We have achieved, brilliant, highly accomplished African-Americans, blacks, Hispanics, you name it, throughout the Republican Party. They serve in office. Many of them ar ...

of Fear the Walking Dead? I've been wanting to ask all of you at the end of season one, but thought it was way too soon. With the first part of season two behind us and the rest of it starting on the 21st, I would like to know what you think? It is supposed to take place about 3 weeks before Rick wakes up in the hospital, so things went into the crapper pretty fast. I do think they need a Daryl Dixon type. ...

Not only did she call Sharron Angle a "b" but she said she was going to he!!. When people heard this they got angry and sent money donations to Sharron Angle. When Sharron Angle sent flowers and a thank you card, Joy again called her a "b" and told the audience that the flowers were cut by illegal immigrants. Joy is a hateful, spiteful woman and I can't stand to listen to her. Joy Behar is the very definition of a left-wing nut job. ...

The lobbyist's latest public temper tantrum. I wonder how much money they've dumped into their anti-Obama campaign in the last five years? They might as well be flushing it down the toilet--although they've done a super job of making themselves look petulant since Sandy Hook, so I hope they keep on keepin' on. ...

I'm mid 30s and this may sound a bit juvenile, but I LOVED the Twilight series. I could not stop reading them! I read when I get on the treadmill, so it worked great that I would want to read chapter after chapter. Someone recommended the True Blood series to me, but I couldn't really get into it. Someone then recommended the Vampire Academy series and I have just started the first book, but it seems a bit TOO juvenile for me. Please help, lol, my butt is ...

Of course, Trump sold out the arena that can hold 8,000 people. The polls may be saying one thing, but this turnout says quite another. Scroll down past half page to see ...

"important" to the republicans are misinformed. The whole party is very afraid to make him mad. There have been several occasions in the past where an elected republican disagreed with him on an issue and then was pressured to go on his show and "apologize" As the defacto leader, he must be held to responsible for his words. If your husband or father heard him calling YOU the names he called Ms. Fluke, would he not have his teeth knocked out? As far as Limbaugh ...

Updates: Rush said woman was "having so much sex" she could not afford her birth control pills. Obviously he knows his listeners are dumb enough to believe that you need one pill for each sexual act, thus she is running out. Limbaugh mocks Obama for calling the woman in question in support. Yellow Boehner wimps out with his forced response. Woman in question was talking about a friend who needed BCP for ovarian problems. Liar, liar, by the way, lives in personal moral sew ...

Tony Gwynn, AKA Mr. Padre, passed away today, 06/16/2014. Our mayor, Kevin Faulconer, said something that will resonate for the ages: "Our city is little darker today without him, but immeasurably better because of him." Rest in peace, Mr. Padre. May God bless your soul and heal your family's sorrow. There is a beautiful statue of Tony Gwynn in front of Petco Park in downtown San Diego as seen in the below-noted link.
