Rush Limbaugh: Obama WANTS to create an economic collapse leading to widespread looting and disorder

Rush Limbaugh is getting increasingly desperate in the magnitude of the smears he invents about Obama. Today Rush claimed that Obama WANTS to create an economic collapse leading to widespread looting and disorder.

First Rush constructs a dire scenario with impoverished Hispanics from central California descending on the affluent coastal enclaves, for a wave mass looting. Nothing subtle about this dog whistle.

RUSH: California is showing where we're headed in every which way. There are two Californias. There's the rich, the elites, the liberals that do well along long the coast -- and then there's the interior: Central Valley, San Joaquin Valley, where it is falling apart. The glue that keeps the culture together in the interior of California is falling apart, and on the coasts where the wealth is pretty stacked they're blissfully unaware.


RUSH: But everything that is happening in California is slated to happen nationally, from the unchecked immigration, to the massive indebtedness, inability to pay it off, rising taxes. And when push comes to shove, where are they gonna go in California? They're gonna go along the coastline where all the elites, suburbia, where all the money is. They're gonna start taking it. It's the only place there is any.


According to Rush all of this will result from Obama's nefarious plan to get even with America. According to Rush following his election Obama will deliberately and maliciously set in motion a plan to bring about an economic collapse.

He just says what he knows his audience want to hear. If he did otherwise, they'd shut him right off.

ESPECIALLY since he's been the President for FOUR DAMN YEARS!

If he wanted to do his crazy "tear down the country, force gay marriage, round up the Christians" lunacy, why did he hide it during his first term!?

They know they're in trouble so the haters are starting to panic and it looks like they're trading in their racist dog whistles for bullhorns.

They absolutely drool over the idea. If society breaks down, they imagine they'll be able to rid the country of everyone they don't like - minorities, non-Christians, immigrants (legal and otherwise), women who won't stay in the kitchen where they belong, educated people, you name it.

or he needs to be put on the appropriate medication. He's incredibly paranoid and flailing all over the place.

Of course, that could partly be in response to the slow march of advertisers away from his daily ranting.

Even the faithful have to be scratching their heads at some of this stuff. His ranting has gone completely over the edge.

If the Dems hadn't won back control I'd hate to think what shape we would be in now.
Like Obama said in his DNC speech, they want to blame him for not repairing all the
damage done by the rethuglicants any sooner than he has already done.

But the fools that tune him in have made
him stinking rich. He will never change. He
was a failure as a sports broadcaster, so here
he is.

He'll milk it as long as he can..

about another French Revolution, it would serve him well to read up on history.

If Rush lived back then, there is no doubt he would face the razor.

It isn't too late to stop pissing off the downtrodden.
