New York – Rush Limbaugh said on his July 2 radio show that he believes Obama tanked the economy on purpose, both as “payback” for 230 years of racial oppression and because Obama simply doesn’t like America.

He railed: “Who is Obama? Why is he doing this? Why? Why is he doing it? Is he stupid? Is it an accident? Is he doing it on purpose or what have you? … I think we face something we’ve never faced before in the country — and that is, we’re now governed by people who do not like the country, who do not have the same reverence for it that we do. Our greatest threat (and this is saying something) is internal.”
Limbaugh went on to compare Obama to the Black Panthers:
LISTEN to some of Limbaugh’s comments below:
Well the guy does get paid millions to say dumb stuff – and if he believes what he is saying (not just saying it because he gets paid for it). then he is just as dumb as the things he says
Hey Rush , Is this the best you can offer ?
Sounds pretty silly stuff .
I think it’s time that people stop listening to this Republican Part apparatchik and start listening to Michael Savage the only voice of sense in this world
Only problem was that it was Bush who tanked the economy
How sad
Rush is quoting j christian adams who was quoting people in the justice department. CLEARLY, there are people who work high up in the govt who believe the things that Rush is saying. If this is the opinions of those in govt then it really frightens me that Obama is our president.
Media Matters (who posted this clip) is the most vile Anti American group out there…Let them join PETA and let them both go to hell once and for all…
Obama tanks the economy and throws the middle class into chaos. All of a sudden you have a surge of Caucasions requesting government programs as they lose their jobs, their houses and any chance to pass the American dream onto their children. Affirmative action has invaded every aspect of American life so that Caucasions are the last to get seats in Universities, government jobs and small business loans. Next he shoves Obamacare through the Congress to control 1/6th of the economy and all of those trillions of dollars and his Marxist beaurocratic minions get to decide who gets to have surgery, who gets the organs and who gets a hospital bed (minorities get “special priority”) and this starts to look like one heckuva conspiracy. Thank you Rush for your service to the American people.
When George Bush took office, the Dow was at 10,600 and unemployment was 4.7%. When George Bush left office 8 years later, the Dow was at 8,000 and unemployment was 8.5%.
When Obama took office, the Dow was at 8,000 and unemployment was 8.5%.
Today the Dow is at 9,900 and unemployment is 9.3%.
Based on Limbaugh’s thesis, it is in fact George Bush who was attempting to “pay back” –whatever that means — the American sheeple.
I think Limbaugh should stick to doing drugs; at least he’s good at that.
Rush Limbo is a briiliant man with tremendous insight into current events. He tells it like it is. He is a oyhev yisrael and Obama is a soyne yisrael.
I heard recently that there is an official Rabbi of the EIB network. Does anyone know who it is.
scary he is 100% right
Does anybody know a way that I could listen to rush not through radio? (Due to very poor radio connection in my area) thanks.
Yeshar Coach Rush. I wonder which counrty Osama is trying to destroy first. Of course with med school rejects like CH giving him cover , he may succeed.
I wouldn’t agree with him on the black issue, but i would agree on the part that he doesn’t like this country. poor now the FCC, FAA and the EVD will get on his back and make him trouble, than the libs will rub there belly that they finally did it! but that might mean that who knows who is next and before you know it every thing will be cover up and he will lead use in to communism will Hillary leading right behind him. Rahm yes Rahm , all Communism started by Jewish people. Nebach on us.
Here’s where the VIN commentariat yelps, “Right on!”
Just because this man is pro Israel does not mean we should support these statements…like how he blamed the left for the oil spill, ridiculous conspiracy theory!!! (that way he has to take no responsibility for supporting big business) Don’t forget his “no mercy” take on drug addicts when he himself turned out to be one…(that’s when he wanted a little mercy) Like the anti-gay lobbyists in the republican party who have gay affairs…me thinks that thou dost protest too much.
Obama uses the Black Panthers to make sure only minorities vote to ensure he stays in power, then he uses his legislative bullying tactics to pass bills that ensure the wealth is distributed to his special interest groups (namely people of African and Muslim ancestry).
May I remind the conservative commentator, whom I respect, that the economic downturn began under the Bush administration. This can’t be blamed on Obama.
Why are people in the normal world even report on his dumb stuff. This guy is insane, and is just so happy to see how they qoute him. He was thrilled to hear Obama relating to him….
All he is-a bigget.
I like Rush and agree with a lot of what he says, but this is pretty dumb. Obama is simply incompetent, nothing more or less.
Wow! Does rush believe the things he says?
Rush has been on the air since 1988. He a true American, unlike Oboma who goes around the world bowing and apologizing for our country.
How sad you people who love obama he’s a pathetic loser
Rush is the most pro-israel/Jewish talk show host out there don’t attack him Obama is the problem Rush is obviously exagerating but he’s making a good point
Rush is right. the economy may have started to tank under Bush, but It is Obama who has failed to fix it and thereby is responsible for this extended recession. Instead of stimulating the economy with tax cuts and gov’t spending cuts he is adding more and more govt. spending, taxes, rules and regulations. No jobs? Of course not, it is too expensive to hire people, especially after passing the health care bill. even the Europeans told him we aint spending anymore, time to cut while he was on his mantra of spend, spend, spend. That is my money he is spending. I paid $15,000 i taxes this year and I am not rich, I am struggling. If the government would not have taxed my money away from me, I would have had enough money to hire a worker and grow my small business thereby benefitting everybody.
Did anyone commenting here actually listen to the clip on this page? I don’t hear him say anything remotely close to what this article claims that he said. I didn’t hear him mentioning anything about the economy.
rush is the best friend we have as jews and for israel
look at the things obama did ofr us
NASA it mission is to improve relations with the muslims
DOJ not to prosecute black panthers
IRAN does nothing to stop nuclear weapons (oh but attacks israel to sign NPA)
N KOREA bomds our allies ships and we do nothing
ECONOMY a crisis so he takes advantage and gives out money like crazy now we are broke. oh dont forget healthcare and all his other social programs…
yes that is good for those that are FRUM (Food stamps etc etc Medicaid) but for those us that work and pay taxes obama is a disaster
RUSH IS RIGHT
He’s a terrible president, but common sense people! How could he have engineered a recession that began A WHOLE YEAR BEFORE he was even elected? Did he make things worse? Sure. Is Bush to blame for the recession? No, I think Clinton’s disastrous economic and foreign policies set the stage even though it didn’t happen till a decade later. That so many people believe this utter stupidity coming out of Rush only makes the whole Republican party look like uneducated morons dominated by group-think. If we want to take back Capitol Hill in November, making up outlandishly ridiculous conspiracy theories are not very effective.
That’s just Rush trying to sound like Savage, but there is only 1 Savage Nation.
All the liberal idiots trying to deny this and pretending that it was a dumb thing to say, are ignoring the FACT that Obama’s appointee Julie Fernandes instructed the Voting Section of the DOJ’s Civil Rights Division to bring no cases against anyone from a racial minority. They ignore the FACT that Michelle Obama said she had never been proud of America until her husband was elected. They ignore the FACT that Obama is a personal friend of unabashed terrorists, Marxists, and PLO members. They ignore the FACT that he appointed Maoist Anita Dunn as his communications director, and communist truther Van Jones as his “green jobs czar”. Is any of this consistent with someone who is NOT trying to punish America?
He is completely right many blacks are angry at the US, and want to get back at America for racism, Obama is part of this mentality.
! don’t think that rush is right on this but what i do know is that Obama would love to do some kind of a payback!
Why are we still talking about this guy? Lets just face it democrats, the people that listen to Rush Limbaugh are NEVER GONNA SEE THE WORLD THE WAY YOU DO!!!!!!! Just stop, its making you look as dumb as they look. Ever heard of “Don’t teach those who don’t want to learn”? Those of us who read more than one source and attempt to understand other peoples point of view in politics will never understand those that only understand one point of view, and have nothing to back it up with. Those are people that listen to Rush and agree with him. They are fearful of the “liberal agenda” and they believe that we(liberals) are “Unamerican” because they disagree with our viewpoints. They think we want to destroy america because we want to change policies that they think are good and we think are bad. These people will NEVER agree with you.
No, no, no, Rush… it’s called “Payback Time”. It is called “Projecting”…. as in “projecting your own thoughts onto others”. That notwithstanding, something tells me that, you, like many others in the toxic-talk radio business, don’t believe half of the nonsense you spout. You gotta keep it up however because you are in the business of upping the anger of your stupid listeners for the advertising dollars. And, there lies your evil genius.
Somebody had to say it. Limbaugh is exactly right. This is a central theme of Obama’s basic “spread the wealth” philosophy, of “giving back” America’s wealth to it’s rightful owners. Obama’s aim is to crash the US economy and replace it with his own big government version of total citizen dependancy.
Rush like always says it the way it is. Keep up the great work.
The facts are tax cuts and spending cuts are the only way to help the economy, even socialist europe doesn’t agree with Obama. Obama is just spending money until he bank robs this country. Why can’t you liberals wake up. Obama is turning this country upside down the reason is he hates it.
He is the modern day Father Coughlin. Just substitute the word Jew for Democrat or Liberal in his rantings and see for yourself.
Limbaugh serves a purpose…he is the national “clown” and everyone needs someone who is clearly such a low-life that they can look down at.
Apparently Rush Limboy is ignoring the fact that minorities are being disproportionately hurt by the recession. So, not only did Obama NOT start the recession as “payback” to whites, it’s ludicrous to suggest that whites are hurting more.
As a conservative I find Rush’s remarks so wide of the mark as to be ludicrous. I’m no fan of Obama, but I’m ashamed of those Jews spouting racist drivel about the president. They are on a par with the”white trash” remarks that liberal Jews snickered at, describing Bush. Just what the country needs: “nah-nah, nah nah-nah” playground politics.
Rush for president 2012!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Then America will be truly safer
