DISQUS

AMERICAblog: GOP leader Rush Limbaugh wants to change the word "dike" because it makes him uncomfortable when talking about the flooding in N. Dakota

    I suppose he never had a "gay old time" when watching the Flintstones either.
  • Roy · 8 months ago
    Yeah, and I don't like that Rush's parents named him after my favorite brand of poppers, either. But what are you gonna do? Life is just full of ambiguities.
  • JamesR · 8 months ago
    Yes, plus the ambiguous public service he provided by negatively associating "Rush" with Viagra...
  • Butch1 · 8 months ago
    LOL!!

    ..............saw a local billboard advertising Rush's show along with a local call in show...........someone had paintballed Rush is all the right places......................

    That person is a true American patriot!

    I doubt that gasbag is embarrassed to talk about anything. I wish he'd get uncomfortable talking period. Then maybe he'd shut up and make the world a better place.

    How typical of this complete fool who pulls the strings for the "Republic "party.
  • Indigo · 8 months ago
    One thing we can all agree on, Rush is consistently repulsive.
  • SouthernYankee · 8 months ago
    Yes, we can. He is saying those things just for attention. I am glad to see alot of people here are seeing right through it.
  • ChrisM70 · 8 months ago
    Rush has the brain power of a 5 year-old child.

    This is more idiotic than being offended by naked statues (like Ashcroft).
  • Colette · 8 months ago
    I didn't realize it was possible to be that stupid.
  • Scottsdalian · 8 months ago
    Are you kidding Colette? Every time he opens his mouth he re-defines stupid...lowering the bar each time.
  • Dave · 8 months ago
    ...because he just can't detach from his need make sure that the meaning of that phonic assemblage serves his hateful and homophobic aims exclusively.

    what a despicable dollop of protoplasm. reptile-brained piece of shit.
  • tlsintx · 8 months ago
    well, i'd like to change the words "fuckwad asswipe" but they're the only ones that accurately describe rush limpdick.
  • Macbill · 8 months ago
    Al Frankin was right. Rush Limpball IS a big, fat idiot.
  • SouthernYankee · 8 months ago
    Al book was really great. I laughed alot.

    Hey Fargo ND. don't you love this piece of Gangrene Fat-ass.
  • missime · 8 months ago
    I had to click on this thing to find out what it was all about. Now, I am totally disgusted. That goes to show you where Rush's brain is at. When he hears a word and suddenly his brain rushes to the gutter. Oops! Sorry, his brain is always there. Rush's to the gutter what the gutter is to the sewer!
  • Steve_in_CNJ · 8 months ago
    i don't associate dykes with a gutter unless you mean getting a new system installed on my house.
  • Dave of the Jungle · 8 months ago
    Rush Limbaugh is a big fat idiot.
  • Steve_in_CNJ · 8 months ago
    ...who would be irrelevant without the big fat idiots who listen to him.

  • duchessofbilgewater · 8 months ago
    I like it when the republicans best defense of him is, "he's an entertainer."
  • Butch1 · 8 months ago
    Typical republican mentality; they love Rush's school yard playground humour.
  • vkobaya · 8 months ago
    You knew this was going to surface someplace in the Republican party. Very, very telling that it is Rush that finally spoke up about it. The entire party has its pathetic, so-called mind in the gutter so Rush isn't the only one.

    Imagine, he would ban the great classic Han's Brinker from libraries because they frequently use that word. <g> Talk about an ittty-bitty, tiny, puny, little, one-track, gutter mind.
  • vkobaya · 8 months ago
    Just did a word count on Han's Brinker and the Silver Skates and it uses the word 'dike' 32 times. Oh my God! If Rush finds out about this, he will demand every library in the nation burn the book. And what is he going to say to the sovereign nation of Holland about their beloved story of the little Dutch boy who put his finger in the leaking 'censored,' and kept it there all night to save his nation. Oh oh oh! Nasty, nasty, nasty! Limbaugh has such a filthy, dirty, naughty mind. <g>
  • SCLiberal · 8 months ago
    I'm still waiting for Pat Robertson or one of the other "christian" leaders to tell us the flooding is the result of Fargo's wicked ways....
  • vkobaya · 8 months ago
    Yeah! Fargo is a very wicked, wicked city, as they have lots of immoral sinful 'dikes,' that the city fathers maintain and worked so hard to save.
  • Butch1 · 8 months ago
    What an ass. I wouldn't be surprised to see the republicans in Congress put forth a bill wanting a name change. He is their leader, you know?! ;-)
  • little davey · 8 months ago
    Dyke, Dick. Dick, Dyke.
  • little davey · 8 months ago
    Should it have been:

    Dike, Dick. Dick, Dike?

    conservative columnist in LA times says he's never heard limbaugh say anything racist, hateful or stupid. challenges "yellow-bellied" liberals to listen to him (for hours a day not just minutes) with an open mind. finishes by saying as a conservative he thinks for himself and so doesn't always agree with limbaugh. lol.

  • PeteWa · 8 months ago
    Why does anyone listen to that drug addicted, anal cyst draft dodging, out of shape, viagra child sex tour taking blowhard in the first place?

    Oh yeah, because if you are a Republican, those are all things to aspire to...
  • CarolAll · 8 months ago
    Limbaugh sounds like a fifth grader who has just discovered a dirty word in a textbook! Jeez... For a conservative, family values kind of guy, Rush sure doesn't pass up a chance to make something innocent sound dirty. It pains him to use the word dike because it sounds like dyke? Give me a break! Why is it that men like Rush and Bill O. and Faux News in general feel it necessary to emphasize the sleaze factor? FNC never passes up a T & A photo or a sleazy story. Their screen often resembles a supermarket tabloid. Research shows that people in conservative states consume more porn than in other states. What is it with these people? Ick!
  • Personal Failure · 8 months ago
    Oh, hell, he wasn't "pained" that "dyke" and "dike" are homynyms- he was thrilled to have the chance to diss lesbians and use a not-really-dirty word repeatedly without having to apologize. After all, the lesbians and flood mad him do it.
  • doug · 8 months ago
    Rush feels bothered by the word because all of his wives and girlfriends turned out to be 'dikes'.
    How could they not be turned on by fat Rush who takes his Viagra vacation where child prostitutes are commonly available?
  • reflux1000 · 8 months ago
    Hey Rush does that mean we can't call Television's TV's anymore?,What about Ex-Vice President DICK Cheney and President TRICKY-DICK Nixon? and Rush if you go fishing on those trips to other countries do you like the "pole" in your hand?.
  • sparrow · 8 months ago
    Sticks and stones may break his bones, but names will never hurt him. They only serve to provide fodder to his ideological and oftimes bigoted and hate inspiring outrages and rantings... and sadly enough, to his bank oversized bank account. Faced with the string of inevitable and increasingly realized consequences and dislocations that lie ahead for mankind because of global warming and resource over use, I think that he and his audience will increasing become reduced to a marginalized fringe element much like the very small band of batshit insane religious zelots who presently flock around Rev.Phelps. By that time, however, I expect that Limbaugh will be long gone having retired to his rich self-agrandizing bubble to live out his remaining years in comfort, railing against liberals until the end, perhaps surviving only until the big heart attack prematurely takes his fat ass. Life ain't fair, but it is what it is. I am cofident that if anyone down the line even bothers to look back at his legacy, they will probably only find a small recorded footnote that for a time, he was the early 21st Century USA remake of Father Coughlin before he, like Coughlin, was assigned his rightful place in the trash bin of history. In the meantime, anything that can be done to move that process along for Rush, I see as a good and pleasant thing. He truly is a pilonidal cyst on humanity.
  • duchessofbilgewater · 8 months ago
    I hear that from now on, Rush doesn't want to call Richard Cheney "Dick!"
  • houstonray · 8 months ago
    Well, when I'm in a hurry to get someplace, I don't like to use the word "RUSH". It makes me uncomfortable because all I think of is a fat, drug addled gasbag, instead of just that I'm in a "hurry"...
  • RIPWAMU · 8 months ago
    LMAO, kudos!!!!
  • JustAnOldLady · 8 months ago
    Rush Limbaugh is a big, fat idiot.........
  • devlzadvocate · 8 months ago
    Too freakin' bad. Every time I look at that fat ass, I think of Ann Coulter eating Michelle Bachmann's ugly twat. That makes me uncomfortable . . . and kinda twisted.

    Very twisted.

    Psycho.

    I'm making an appointment in the morning.
  • houstonray · 8 months ago
    I think I just threw up in my mouth a little....no make that a lot!
  • devlzadvocate · 8 months ago
    Apologies. My husband was also unhappy with my comment. Apparently others were, too.

    I posted a qualified apology under another topic today.
  • cowboyneok · 8 months ago
    Okay, can you "rephrase that?" A wee bit to graphic. ;)
  • James K. Sayre · 8 months ago
    Gee willickers, the Royal Rush of Limburger feels a little uncomfortable having to say a certain word? This is extremely rich, as he has spent the last fifteen years of his public life trying to make other people feel uncomfortable with his continuous stream of hateful comments in calling people "feminazis" and "ecoterrorists." Time to man-up, Royal Rush of Limburger... Right-wingers love to dish it out, but they can't seem to take it...
  • Milli · 8 months ago
    Yes, Rush, "dikes" get more women than you ever will.
  • cwazycajun · 8 months ago
    I will also stop referning to oxylush limpballs as a douchbag cause a douchbag actually has a usefull porpouse and as far as oxylush is concerned there is no real porpouse for him well except to get the rabid riech wing a chubby...a chubby of ignorence
  • RIPWAMU · 8 months ago
    I wondered when one of those wing nuts would bring this up. Big bad Rush is scared of a word, what a surprise.
  • jiminportlandoregon · 8 months ago
    This guy is so twisted. I don't believe for a minute that he has stopped using Oxycontin.
    Does anyone remember a few years ago when Rush was detained by US Customs when he returned from a trip (it was either to Haiti or the Dominican Republic)? It seems he had prescription opiates in his possession but they were not prescribed for him. I never learned the disposition of that case and I have always wondered why he goes to Haiti/DR with his drugs for the weekend. It's certainly not for sunshine. He has a 20,000 sq ft mansion right on the ocean in Palm Beach. My guess is that it is something nefarious, perhaps twisted sexual encounters. I'm telling you, there's a story here and the media are missing it - probably deliberately so.
