Rush Limbaugh is taking responsibility for Mitt Romney losing the election, but he hasn't accepted responsibility for bankrupting Dial Global, the latest company to suffer from the obnoxious radio host's comments. Dial Global is removing itself from the NASDAQ. The hatred spewed from Rush and the extreme Republican party has hurt a slew of radio companies in advertising dollars. The Sandra Fluke comment is cited as being the reason that many advertisers went elsewhere. If Republicans want to point the finger at a reason for businesses going bankrupt, they need look no farther than in the mirror.
The narcissistic radio host told Republicans earlier this week the he was the "primary reason" Mitt Romney lost the election and that the media will never let them be seen as pro-immigration. He calls Republicans "incompetent" if they believe themselves to be pro-immigration. No wonder the Republicans on Gather resort to name-calling as their first line of defense. Their oracle does it on a daily basis. Calling a girl a "slut" and a "prostitute" for wanting birth control pills, he also attacked Dolores Huerta earlier in 2012, calling her a "Marxist." And he goes on to slam her for 10 minutes about her statement that "Republicans hate Latinos." The king of hate is criticizing someone who uses the word hate?
Limbaugh goes on to say, "And I am, by the way, the primary reason the Republican Party will keep losing, until I am denounced by the Republican Party." He certainly thinks very highly of himself. Wonder if he learned that in rehab?
Any decent Republican should be highly offended at any association with Rush Limbaugh or any implication that he speaks for them. Even if Rush retires and resigns from his role as the mouth of the extreme Republicans, is it really going to help the party? Perhaps, but it's likely too late for Dial Global as they also posted losses this last quarter. It's not Obamacare that is hurting business, it's extreme-right, hateful Republicans.

But, alas, he can't help himself: His mouth works over time. When it's not blowing hot air, it's devouring spicy foods.

The nation is 50/50. Nobody cares what Limbaugh thinks except for you liberals who obsess over him. Next week it will be Sarah Palin with you guys.
You don't know what you're talking about.
Give up the ghost, my friend. Your tent is folding up and YOU can't face it.
Congratulations....it is our fervent hope that you languish in obscurity.
It's....about....time.
Why did you point out that he's black? Are you obsessed with race too? They called him Barry in high School not Bammy. His middle name is Hussein.. Your point?
The difference is the president effects our lives through policies and legislation. Everybody has the right to debate, disagree, and protest when out political leaders move in a direction we don't like. Just like you guys did when Bush was in office. Obsessing is being freaked out over people who have no influence in your life whatsoever except for the conspiratorial delusional influence manufactured by your paranoia.
You guys went on and obsessed over Palin for 2 years after the 2008 elections and when you sobered up you didn't have a filibuster proof super-majority anymore. Well done!
""Congratulations....it is our fervent hope that you languish in obscurity.""
You've been saying that since Clinton won in 1992. You thought it was confirmed when Obama won in 2008 along with a filibuster proof super-majority. Correct me if I am wrong but I don't think you have that anymore. What comes around goes around. I am from Wisconsin and republicans took back all the power they won in 2010 and more on November 6th. Even after the capitol defiling hussy-fit you guys threw in Madison for a whole year. I have nothing against wishful thinking but...
""If Limbaugh weren't reaching dull-dittoheads for decades, he would have been off the air, years ago.""
Paranoia will destroy ya.
Conservative idiots, in the real world and on Gather, respond with a barrage of ridiculous claims that Obama must act on these petitions and that the prtitions have any significance beyond the whimpering of Tea-bagger sore losers.
This is a leftist "obsession"? Hysterical.
Paranoid:
Exhibiting or characterized by extreme and irrational fear or distrust of others: a paranoid suspicion that the phone might be bugged, conservatives are trying to starve children, put blacks back in chains, throw grandparents off cliffs, fire you, etc. etc. etc...
Thanks Rory for the free case study.
R.F. I am not a sore loser. You don't see me or other conservatives taking over capitols, sleeping in tents, accusing confusing ballots for the loss, claiming that those who beat us have the power to disenfranchise people and keep them from voting by giving them funny looks, accusing your side of making phone calls saying the day to vote changed to Wednesday. I say to you, congratulations. Obama ran a better campaign. See how easy that was? No riots, No dividing America. What surprises me is that you guys never want to stop fighting and campaigning, spinning truths and intentionally taking things out of context like there is actually a secession movement in America. For the love of God, take a break!
Yes Peter. You guys are obsessed with conspiracies. and fighting fictional acts of injustice. It's your behavior that made ration lefties claim to be "progressives", not liberals. That wanted to make it clear that they weren't wide eyed like you.
I don't like Baldwin and Thompson was a bad pick. But republicans took back total power of the state legislature which is actually more important than national elections. Scott Walker is more powerful now than ever. The state can take more money out of your wallet than the federal government can so the elections weren't a total loss for me.
They wouldn't have to if your 2 non intellectual large voting liberal blocks were into knowledge.
Gore makes enough off the global warming scam. He will be ok.
package. The $80 to $90 billion worth of government investment in green
energy has helped to grow many of the companies Gore and his renewable
energy-based hedge fund Generation Investment Management have put the majority of their money in. In fact, nine of 11 companies that Gore endorsed during a 2008 presentation on fighting climate change received government investment, WaPo reports.
Thank you Ted
His daily rantings perpetuated the insular bubble that prevented fundamentalist extremists from apprehending the changes that are occurring in the nation.
If the newly-sober GOP (Rush is still the drug-addled blob he always was) is serious about Immigration Reform, they may work to reduce the infuence of the big gasbag.
America's Death Certificate will read, "died as a result of too many deadbeats."
