Media Matters for America

Rush Limbaugh opened the show by repeating the story of a Florida doctor who says he won't treat people who voted for Obama. Rush then dubbed himself "the troublesome Rush Limbaugh" in response to Obama's comments about him and Glenn Beck. Rush ranted that Obama had no right to complain about the alleged "troublesome" attacks of others when he didn't complain about Rev. Wright for 20 years and has "domestic terrorist" Bill Ayers as one of his "best buddies" (not so much). Americans aren't anxious about the country, Rush insisted, they're anxious about Obama and his agenda. In between repeating his longtime claim that Obama is governing in a divisive way to keep Americans in a state of chaos and to provoke his critics, Rush played a song he said reflects his current situation: Lindsey Buckingham's "Trouble."

Rush went on to blame Obama for the vitriolic state of today's politics, playing several clips of Obama speaking in an allegedly vitriolic or demonizing manner. Rush agreed with a caller who claimed that the restructuring of the federal student loan program means that Obama will be able to manipulate doctors. Rush also discounted the news of better unemployment numbers, because a large chunk of those jobs are temporary census jobs, and complained that 16,000 IRS agents will be hired to enforce health care reform (again, not so much).

Here are some highlights from today's show:

Limbaugh dubs himself "the troublesome Rush Limbaugh"

Limbaugh: Obama "willingly, purposely governs against the will of the people", "oversees the destruction of the private sector"

Limbaugh asks: "Who has called him [Obama] a Nazi?"

Limbaugh: "I will not consider my career a full success until I am called out" by Speaker Pelosi

Limbaugh: "I inherited a vitriolic world the minute this guy [Obama] was elected"

Limbaugh: "Our country is being overthrown from within"

Rush Limbaugh uses Rage Against the Machine song as bumper music

Limbaugh: "We no longer have an administration, this is a regime"

Limbaugh: "Storefront", "factory", "worker" are "Marxist-Leninist terms"

Limbaugh on doctor who won't treat patients that voted for Obama: "I love these people who don't conform"

Limbaugh: Rep. Alan Grayson is "an order of fries short of a Happy Meal"

In the latter half of the show, Rush obsessed over a statement in a speech Obama gave in North Carolina, in which Obama said that "no company is going to make investments for the public good." Rush claimed that residents of Republican areas are not receiving census forms and that Obama peppered his speech with "Marxist-Leninist terms" like "storefront," "factory," and "worker." Rush also dropped another reference to Obama's brother living in a hut (not the whole story). Rush took more calls, including a college student who claimed that he has a professor who favorably analogized Obama's economic policies to Lenin's. Rush complained that Obama short shrift to flooding victims in Rhode Island, suggesting that he dropped in to visit only after he attended fundraisers in Maine. Rush then returned to the story of the doctor who's saying he won't treat Obama voters, adding approvingly, "I love people who don't conform." Rush took some more calls, and argued with a liberal caller who used the term "teabagger" to describe tea party protesters.
