Motor Trend Bitch-Slaps Lush Rimbaugh

-=[ Rush Breathes Fumes ]=-

It is clearly apparent with anyone with a relatively functioning pre-frontal cortex that Rush Limbaugh is so dedicated to destroying Obama at any cost that he is doing everything he can to undermine the prospects for GM’s rebirth from the ashes of bankruptcy. The reality is that General Motors is gaining business and reducing the government ownership share. Nevertheless, that hasn’t deterred the Lush from beating the war drums against “Obama motors.” Politico reports:

Limbaugh told listeners that his radio program last year canceled an advertising campaign with General Motors because he “knew this was coming.”

Wow, Rush! Why not just actively discourage companies from hiring people, since that would help destroy what’s left of the middle class.

The fact is that GM’s plug-in hybrid electric car, the Chevy Volt, has been rolled out to rave reviews by car magazines across the board and was named 2011 Motor Trend Car of the Year. Motor Trend raved:

This is a fully developed vehicle with seamlessly integrated systems and software, a real car that provides a unique driving experience. And commuters may never need to buy gas!

… This automobile is a game-changer.

Now, you know this shit got the prissy-assed conservatives’ panties in a collective wad. In fact they went into their patented, feces-flinging act. This also forced Limbaugh to expand his attack to include the respected car enthusiast magazine. ThinkProgress has the story (and Motor Trend’s too-pretty counterpunch):

... Motor Trend announced that it had named the breakthrough plug-in hybrid Chevrolet Volt as its 2011 car of the year. Conservatives immediately picked up on the story and attacked Motor Trend. The magazine “awarded the Obama-approved, government-subsidized Chevrolet Volt its annual ‘Car of the Year’ appellation,” the Weekly Whore Standard whined. Referring the federal government’s auto bailout -- which turned out to be hugely beneficial for GM and the ailing industry -- conservative Washington Post columnist George Will complained about the government “spending some of your money” to produce the Volt. But right-wing radio blow-hard Rush Limbaugh was perhaps the most vocal critic. The Volt has been in Limbaugh’s sights for quite some time. His campaign against the innovative car was launched last August (!!). Staying completely in form, Limbaugh said of the Motor Trend award this week, “[O]f all the cars in the world, the Chevrolet Volt is the Car of the Year? Motor Trend magazine, that’s the end of them. How in the world do they have any credibility? Not one has been sold [and] the Volt is the Car of the Year.” Last week, one of the magazine’s editors, Todd Lassa, shot back at Limbaugh, noting that GM hasn’t sold any Volts “because it’s not on sale yet”:

So, Mr. Limbaugh; you didn’t enjoy your drive of our 2011 Car of the Year, the Chevrolet Volt? Assuming you’ve been anywhere near the biggest automotive technological breakthrough since… I don’t know, maybe the self-starter, could you even find your way to the front seat? Or are you happy attacking a car that you’ve never even seen in person? [...]

Rush Limbaugh: "I ... am not a racist. I dislike Mr. Obama's white half just as much as I dislike Mr. Obama's black half"

Well I'm so glad that he cleared that up because I was beginning to worry:


OK, so I have a confession: I laughed at his line as I always do most of the stuff he says. But this one, by far, has to be the best ever. No seriously, don't you see the comedic genius that is Rush Limbaugh at work?I'm willing to bet that Barack Obama listens to this stuff and cracks up from time to time like I do.

The Easter Bunny leaves racist notes in Michigan eggs

You know it's really hard to believe that it is already the middle of March; damn, where did the last couple of months go? The next thing you know Christmas is gonna be on us all over again. Speaking of which, you know if we all pulled together and pitched in I'm sure we could buy Rush Limbaugh a Toyota Prius for Christmas. Yeah, just a thought, folks. And speaking of religious themed holidays and thoughtfullness. Check out what the Easter Bunny has been up to in Michigan these days:

AUBURN HILLS - A number of African-American families in Auburn Hills, Mich., said they found racist messages inside plastic eggs left in their yards.

WDIV-TV, Detroit, said Monday the eggs found outside certain area residences Sunday included notes referencing the Aryan Nation as well as certain racial slurs.

Shamir Lyles told the TV station she saw firsthand the impact of the notes as a girlfriend's son opened one of the eggs and read its hateful message.

"He was shocked. He didn't know what it was, he thought it was the Easter bunny," Lyles said. "I was really shocked. I mean, you know the feelings are out there and the thoughts are there, but to just be openly displayed like this ... I was really kind of shocked this happened in our area."

WDIV said the incident is under investigation by police.

Damn, what ever happened to the good old days when toilet papered a house, throw eggs at it, or burn a cross on the front lawn? Something tells me that somebody in Michigan at least, is taking this "Jesus was a black man," thing too seriously. Yep, especially when they killed him on a cross some 2000yrs ago, only to wake up three days later and eventually become the president of the United States. But then again, he was handing out money to Negroes in Detroit not too long ago....

Don't Let The Door Hit Rush Limbaugh's Fat Ass on His Way Out!

You know what would make my lifetime, aside from seeing my kids graduate, get married and live a happy, productive, life? Seeing Rush Limbaugh pack up his shit, drama and venom included, and just bounce out.

Now, I am distressed because Costa Rica is Panama's neighbor to the north, and that's too close for comfort. I don't want him any closer to my family than necessary. I would KINDLY pay for his one-way ticket to the northernmost area of the North Pole.

I also spotted this featured comment over at ThinkProgress:

Public Health Care – Caja Costarricense de Seguro Social (CCSS)
The Costa Rican healthcare system is rated very highly on an international level, and the country’s citizens enjoy the health and life expectancy equal to that of more developed nations. These accolades come courtesy of strong, universal health insurance and excellent public and private hospitals.

Costa Rica’s public health insurance system, commonly known as the Caja, is available country-wide to all citizens and legal residents. There are ten major public hospitals – four in San Jose, including the Children’s Hospital – affiliated with the Caja. For non-emergencies and everyday medical care, small clinics, known as EBAIS (pronounced ay-vy-ice), are located in almost every community.

What I find absolutely mind-boggling about venomous, hypocritical snakes like Limbaugh (and the Queen of Idiotic Mouth Breathers Sarah Palin) is how they so casually spout of said hypocrisy and go unchecked by the droves of morons who follow them and take their words to heart.

Even if Rush Limbaugh did NOT know about Costa Rica's health care system, I find it insulting that he's talking about going to a country he knows NOTHING about (because EVERYONE just wants to have shitty health care like in U.S.A), but saw fit to make assumptions about.

I know Costa Ricans enough to know that Limbaugh is not welcome there. With that said, I'd rather they beat his ass and throw him in the jungle handle him, than us.

Matter of fact, sign me up to be his stewardess. I'm giving that little viper everything he needs on his flight to nowhere.

Here's to hoping the bill passes.

Oh so he's the "Professor in Chief" now, huh? Yet another way to disguise the obvious

I don't know, but maybe the sight of all that snow on the east coast in recent days has driven Rush Limbaugh to relapse. I could be wrong but seeing all that "white powder" piled high at every turn could be the very thing to force an addict to pick up a crack pipe I suppose. A well known one-time drug abuser, something Limbaugh said on his show today has me thinking whether somebody needs to drug test him before each episode. Personally I say screw the piss test and take him off the air, but that would be too much like infringing on his right to free speech.

So anyway, Conservatives being their racist conservative 'selves have been pulled another label for Barack Obama out of their "Post Jim Crow But Not Really" trick-bag. My guess is they're tired of the "Nazi" talk and now they've found that through the results of much research by their xenophobic public relation think tanks. That maybe calling him "Professor" may be more, how should I say, politically correct. Posted at InsideHigherEd.com, Harvard Professor Charles J. Ogletree weighed in on the use of that word and noted said racial/racist undertones. Ogletree's argument was that "professor" was a coded way to call Obama "uppity".

And of course Limbaugh disagreed:

I'm calling bullsh*t on "The Man" for giving Wyclef & Yele Haiti negative publicity with accusations of fraud

Now see, that's that bullsh*t! Every time a brother tries to do something good somebody has to come out of left field trynna shut him down. I read the following story about Wyclef and his foundation - the same foundation that is kicking ass raising funds for Haiti, his native home - over at The Smoking Gun:

JANUARY 14--The Haiti earthquake has already triggered hundreds of thousands of donations to musician Wyclef Jean's charitable foundation, which expects to raise upwards of $1 million a day in the disaster's wake. However, Internal Revenue Service records show the group has a lackluster history of accounting for its finances, and that the organization has paid the performer and his business partner at least $410,000 for rent, production services, and Jean's appearance at a benefit concert. Though the Wyclef Jean Foundation, which does business as Yele Haiti Foundation, was incorporated 12 years ago--and has been active since that time--the group only first filed tax returns in August 2009.That month, the foundation provided the IRS with returns covering calendar years 2005, 2006, and 2007--the only periods for which it has publicly provided a glimpse at its financial affairs.

In 2006, Jean's charity reported contributions of $1 million, the bulk of which came from People magazine in exchange for the first photos of a pregnant Angelina Jolie (the actress reportedly directed that the publication's payment go to Jean's charity, not her personally). As seen on the following pages from the foundation's 2006 tax return, the group paid $31,200 in rent to Platinum Sound, a Manhattan recording studio owned by Jean and Jerry Duplessis, who, like Jean, is a foundation board member. A $31,200 rent payment was also made in 2007 to Platinum Sound. The rent, tax returns assure, "is priced below market value." The recording studio also was paid $100,000 in 2006 for the "musical performance services of Wyclef Jean at a benefit concert." That six-figure payout, the tax return noted, "was substantially less than market value." The return, of course, does not address why Jean needed to be paid to perform at his own charity's fundraiser.

But the largest 2006 payout--a whopping $250,000--went to Telemax, S.A., a for-profit Haiti company in which Jean and Duplessis were said to "own a controlling interest." The money covered "pre-purchased...TV airtime and production services" that were part of the foundation's "outreach efforts" in Haiti. No further description of these services was offered, though the return claimed that "the fees paid are below market" and that the use of Telemax was the "most efficient way of providing these services." The group's tax returns also report "consultant" payments totaling $300,000 between 2005-2007, while the 2006 return reported nearly $225,000 in "promotion and PR" costs. These expenses are not itemized further in the IRS returns. (6 pages)

You see this sh*t?! A n*gga can't even do good deeds without being scrutinized and receiving negative media bullsh*t. Obviously Wyclef is doing something right the way he has exhaustively put in work not only over the years for Haiti, but more so in the last week because of the earthquake. I find it very peculiar that this all comes out now, and not before which makes me suspicious. Sounds like typical hater/hoe-sh*t to me that came with great timing and malicious intent. People are in need of help desperately in Haiti and this is what hits the airwaves? But no, instead some asshole is worried that his $5 donation is going towards funding another Spiderman leather motorcycle suit for Wyclef at another Funkmaster Flex car show.

The question is, who's the clown that dug this up? A part of me wants to think it's former Fugee, Pras, with whom 'Clef has had beef years ago. But then Pras is too himself of Haitian descent so it's hard for me to be convinced that this is all his doing especially since he like 'Clef are encouraging people to help. Lauren Hill maybe? Naah!! I dunno, but my inner conspiracy theorist is telling me that this has Rush Limbaugh's grubby fingerprints all over it. Why not, after all, he's been trying to discourage people from donating to Haiti anyway. Well, if not him then some other like-minded knuckle-dragger then...

Look, Haiti needs our help, and you don't have to donate to Wyclef's foundation Yele Haiti exclusively - there are many organizations to whom you can donate to. Yes there are a number of scams as far as Haitian fundraisers are concerned, but please believe this isn't one of them. In my opinion, and having worked with and for 501(c) Charitable Organizations where as little as 6% of donated funds go directly to the charity people support. I trust Wyclef's Yele Haiti above all right about now and I encourage you to support his efforts not for him, but for the people in Haiti who need us right now.

Shout-out to Wyclef and all the "refugees" the world over:

Please God Forgive Me! I ALMOST Wanted Rush Limbaugh Dead

(Slim here!  I'll be blogging for my Blogfather Rippa while he's out.)

As you may have heard by now, Rush Limbaugh was rushed to the hospital yesterday with chest pains (and is now resting comfortably).  He was vacationing in Hawaii, when paramedics were called to his room.

God forgive me, I almost wanted him dead.  Damn it, part of me had resolved itself to not giving two damns if he croaked.  And I feel bad for it, because I am a Christian (not perfect, just Christian) and a human being.  I know it's not good to wish ill on others, but damn it if Rush Limbaugh wasn't reaping what he has sewn last night.

I don't know if that was God talking to him last night, urging him to get his life together or it will end, although I believe that was mostly it.  I do hope that he emerges from this a changed person, willing to bring people together, not set them apart.

For those people bitching about people "wishing Rush Limbaugh dead", I just have to say two simple words: Fuck off.

Guest Blogger: Rush Limbaugh done picked the wrong ninja to eff with! (by Max Reddick)

(Editor's Note: I've had to opportunity to sit at a table across from Max Reddick over dinner and some spiritual libation. He didn't pick up the check but he's still cool with me. Ladies and gentlemen, do yourself a favor and ad the blog soulbrother v.2 to your daily reading and get to know this man as I have. And be on the lookout for big things to come from this brother if you will.)

RiPPa told me that anything goes over here, so I should just drop my usual aplomb and get buck wild. So I am typing this post butt naked. I did put a towel in the seat, however; I didn’t like how the leather felt on my naked behind.

But let me begin.

I am not necessarily fans of our favorite two uncles, the Reverends Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton. As author Norman Kelley recently wrote, the two have become incessant headline chasers. And over the years, they have become very adept at the use of images and artifice; they know black folk really well, and they know just what buttons to push to incite them. Additionally, the two of them know how to gain and hold the spotlight. However, I believe our two uncles are still useful to us. If I might use comedian and activist Dick Gregory’s washing machine analogy, their greatest usefulness is as agitators. Gregory writes that the agitator is the working mechanism in a washing machine that cleans clothes as it moves back and forth. Without the agitator, the clothes would not come clean.

In our society, the activist is the agitator. If we did not have activists, if we did not have agitators, the powers that be would just plow over us. And that is the function our two uncles perform; they are professional agitators. After making a statement or taking an action that in anyway can be construed as racist, who wants to hear that dreaded phrase, “Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson are out front, and the media would like a statement”?

And in the last week or so when racist rhetoric king extraordinaire Rush Limbaugh decided he wanted to become part owner of an NFL franchise, who was the first to step up and shut that foolishness down? That’s right! None other than our favorite uncles, Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton.

So what if Rush Limbaugh wants to own a few Negroes in the NFL...

Awww fuckit! What's the big deal if Rush Limbaugh wants to be a co-owner of the St. Louis Rams?!! Who gives a shit, let him have it; this is America, can't a man make a dime? I mean, that's only if he's White that is. I mean come on, who worries about a Black man making any money in America; shit, most of professional sports teams in this country are owned and donate considerably to the Republican party anyway. I say let Rush have at it and be the one with the big balls running around the sideline like Jerry Jones down in St. Louis.

"Look, let me put it to you this way: The NFL all too often looks like a game between the Bloods and the Crips without any weapons. There, I said it." - Rush Limbaugh

So what he'll have a large number of Negroes working for him on the field every Sunday; it's not like they'll go on strike, walk away from their multi-million dollar contracts, or stop dating White chicks. The NFL or professional sports with the exception of Hockey is the modern day plantation, and the man is entitled to a Jimmy The Greek moment. Shit, if you wanna get me fired up, lets talk about getting some Black or minority owners; last time I checked there were no minority owners and hell they just started getting Black coaches. So until Louis Farrakhan wants to buy into an NFL team and petition the commissioner to keep brothers away from the pigskin, there's no controversy here folks.

Yeah, please go sit down somewhere Rev. Al Sharpton; wrong issue bruh.

So let Rush do his damn thing and spend his money where he pleases. He renegotiated his contract last year for his show to the tune of $400 million dollars - g'head, let him buy a nigger or two. I'm sure he'll be welcomed with open arms by the members of the Council of Conservative Citizens based in St. Louis as they continue their fight for White Civil Rights. Fuckit, let 'em all have their fun before the ball drops on the new year that is 2042 when the Negroes and Wetbacks take over.

Besides, the Rams suck...

Now watch this video and see the St. Louis welcome wagon:

Trust me, Rush Limbaugh is the least of anybody's problems.

Rush Limbaugh:The 20th Hijacker - Just One More Reason to Love Wanda Sykes

"Maybe Rush Limbaugh was the 20th hijacker but he was so strung out on Oxycontin he missed his flight." - Wanda Sykes

Yup, that's what comedian Wanda Sykes called old fat boy Rush Limbaugh last Saturday night at the White House Press Correspondent Dinner. I'm not gonna lie, that was one of the funniest lines I've heard in a long time. I did a blog a while back on the 2oth hijacker, and that's also why I had to laugh at that line.

(CLICK HERE TO CHECK IT OUT)

Sadly, it would appear that there is a segment of the population who thinks her routine was over the top. I suspect that they are all Republicans. I mean, had she not said anything about Rush Limbaugh the leader of the party, Dick Cheney, Sean Hannity or allude to failures of the previous administration, would they be upset?

Probably not, but hey, I understand why those people are a little bit shitty. Yeah, I get a little upset when someone talks shit about my favorite NBA team which happens to be the New York Knicks. But like me, they should be able to take what they dish out. After all, I can't stand the Dallas Cowboys and I spare no moment to give their fans hell when I encounter them. That said, and me being a fan of comedy, I enjoyed Wanda Sykes' entire routine. Whether you're a Democrat, Republican, or an Independent, you couldn't have helped to laugh. Lets be real, it's not like we were watching a re-screening of Pootie Tang....

Funny is funny for crying out loud, and its exactly the reason every time the 20th hijacker speaks I laugh. Of course I'm not laughing at what he says as being funny, but instead laughing at the fact that he's been able to hide his mental retardation from radio executives. An astonishing act which has led to him being on the air.

Ok yeah, so maybe I was out of line to say that. Yes, maybe what I said was insulting to the mentally challenged among us. For that I apologize. Yes I do, because putting them in the same class as Limbaugh is very disrespectful to the many mentally challenged who live among us. At the end of the day, why even get mad at Wanda Sykes?

I mean after all, isn't she an entertainer just like Limbaugh?

QUESTION:Do you think she was over the top and or inappropriate?

Rush Limbaugh is a Brainwashed Nazi (so says fellow republican)

Hey Michael Steele, listen up. Remember when you did the whole “get on your knees” thing when you sucked Rush’s dick genuflected and performed an act of fellatio on Mr. Limbaugh after he put you on blast a while ago? Remember that? Yeah, you were the talk of the town, and laughing stock of Negroes like me. Well, Money Mike (can I call you that?), it seems like you needed a few more lessons in Blackness. So, in an attempt to school you, I’ve come up with the Blackest republican from whom you should take notes. Uh huh, if you listen to the following audio, its an exchange from one of your own as he called in to Rush Limbaugh’s show yesterday.

Pay attention:

Did you hear that Mike? You see how Charles from Chicago represented? Ok yeah, Charles isn’t Black, or at least sounded like he was. However, did you noticed how he pulled Rush’s card? Yes my friend, that’s how real men do real things. Real niggas like my man Charles stand up to fools like Limpballs and tell the truth. We don’t grovel and get on that yessum massa bullshit. We speak truth to power especially when we’re the ones in charge. Charles sound like a pretty cool old dude who loves his country in spite of his political affiliations. And you know what? I could hangout with people like that, and so too can Barack Obama.

I don’t care what or who you believe, as long as you’re able to tell the truth, you’re fine by me. Did you see how Rush cut him off and blasted him for telling the truth? Noticed how he called him ignorant? That’s what happens when the truth smacks you in the face. Usually when one is hit with truth, he has no recourse but to resort to the childish tactics the likes of 5yr olds on the playground. Charles is right, most of these talking heads in the media that represent the right-wing are brainwashed fools much like the Nazi’s of Germany. And sadly, they are responsible for much of this paranoia circulating in America today.

"Barack Obama is president of the United States today because of stupid, ignorant people who think like you do." – Rush Limbaugh

Well Rush, seems like you’re wrong again. This is what he said to my man Charles. Obviously he wasn’t paying attention or his selective memory kicked in. Charles clearly stated that he voted for McCain. Oh well, maybe the pain pills affects the brain or hearing; the hell if I know. I do know that the reason Barack Obama is president is because, well, people were sick and tired of the last 8yrs of the leadership of the Bush regime. If that makes people like me or the rest of the majority who voted for Obama stupid and ignorant, well, as we say in the hood: “I’ll be that.”

I don't know if you agree with what my man Charles said, but I do know that torture sure as hell isn't the way to go. More importantly, I do agree that much of the negative talk I hear from consevatives on the anti-Obama train do amount to nothing more than soured grapes. The republican party needs new leadership, and maybe Charles is it. I don't know if he is, but, I do know that true leadership requires one to be honest and admit his wrong doing.

What do you think?
