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.
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.

(14,856 posts)He just says what he knows his audience want to hear. If he did otherwise, they'd shut him right off.

(4,404 posts)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!?

(18,672 posts)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.

(14,856 posts)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.

(111,255 posts)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.

(42,757 posts)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.

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..

(2,424 posts)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.
