OxyRush is now flip-flopping big time on his HRC "aging" comments.




I had his hatemonger hour on long enough to hear him deny he said anything disparaging about Hillary getting less attractive as she grows older. According to him ... he was "... just pointing out how the American public would see it". :rofl:

What a lying weasel. Apparently it occurred to him after he said those remarks how much flak he (deservedly) received when he made his notorious 'feminazi' comments and decided he'd better back-pedal before it was too late.

I honestly can't see how such a spineless lying piece of excrement can even look in the mirror without gagging. Even if he was impaired, as usual, on an overdose of Oxycontin he's still a lowlife SOB and that will never change.

1. And how come the attractiveness
of Hillary aging is important?

She's not my first choice but I could care less what she or any of the candidates look like as they age.

5. She's a woman, dur.
Women are judged first and foremost by appearance.

I thought everyone knew that.

2. I'm no bigot - says Rush - I just understand how bigots think.

and talk like bigots talk,

and feel what bigots feel,

and carry water for bigots.

but I, myself? Nevah!

32. toss him in a wok...
sorry,

seems like the appropriate rhyme to complete the thought.

Though I am at a loss to decide what we should do with him when peak oil hits.

should we eat him, or use his lard butt for fuel?

Guess we'll have to wait and see...

10. Although he singled out Hillary, every woman in Ameirca should
be offended by that remark. It really shows how Rush and his dittoheads really feel about women.

13. That's the first thing I thought of.
A large number of his own listeners are over 50 females. He just insulted his own audience big time. This is the real reason for any genuineness in his back-tracking.

18. And he's forgotten who are
the most reliable voters - that would be women over 50. Such a schmuck. If the dems had brains they would use this to paint the pubs as anti-women in general and make them disavow rush.

11. I know that this story
is all over the news and stuff, but why, why, why, why, WHY are people listening to him when they disagree with his politics? Why anger yourself? Why do it to yourself? Is it an exercise in self-flagellation? Seriously, I never understood why some people enjoy riling themselves up by listening to him and other people of his ilk? (Hannity, O'Reilly, etc.)

12. He did his job.
He got it out there. Like when an attorney says something to the jury, the judge says that not allowed, and the attorney withdraws the statement. Too late, the taint is already there, which was why the attorney said it.

Also, if anyone actually believes in his back tracking, I've got some Oxycontin for you. They just look like chewable vitamins, but trust me.

14. Why is it that every time you expose this guy's hatred IN CONTEXT,
his sycophants all of a sudden get their panties in a bunch over "taking someone out of context", which is 180 degrees from the truth?

Here's a guy who owes almost his entire career out of taking Dem statements out of context and turning a pencil line into the Matterhorn ...

16. That explains his flip-flopping.



The last thing he wants to do is alienate his base, regardless of what his real opinion of them may be.

17. I don't see how he can function on Oxycontin
I got one from a friend a couple weeks ago. Just wanted to see what it was like, and damn, that shit fucked me up and I'm no lightweight, I have taken my share of drugs over the years. I imagine if he ever gets in real trouble he'll blame it on the meds...

21. Rush wondering about how one could stand to watch a woman aging
day after day. Kind of explains why he's been married umpteen times. I've never heard that any of his wives have ever spoken out about him. He must pay them to agree to a gag order.

22. HRC
HRC will be judged differently, not only on her looks, but also the first time she has the opportunity to act as commander in chief. The whisper campaign will be, "is she tough enough". And of course the answer will be "no", as it will always be no for some people and they will be the vocal minority, whom she will have to constantly ignore. The press will constantly focusing on such crap like her hair and clothes, and not the important things.

My only hope is she will not do anything to appease the war-mongerer's because of some focus group's imaginary public perception her handlers are worried about.

26. I listened to the original broadcast...
...where he was talking about Hillary getting older. Apparently he got the idea from a drudge report story. He said before he started on it that he would catch some flak for it...so he knew what was coming. While I agree that he probably had alterior motives for even commenting on it, his comments were put in the context of how Americans view aging women who end up in the spotlight. While HRC was his example, he ended up mentioning aging women actresses who struggle to find roles while aging men generally don't have that problem.

I have to agree with him on the social commentary part, but I don't remember him ever saying that her looks had anything to do with her ability to lead...just about how it would appear to shallow Americans.

27. There was a thread on this the day he said it.
Here's what I said then:

Just reading those words (in the Original Post), it could almost pass for someone who is lamenting the state of modern society with respect to women and aging. But knowing who it is saying those words, I know the real reason he said them is to get in a dig at Hillary. What does this say to your brain dead over 50 female fans Rush? (post #52)

might say" about aging women. And, then loop it right back to Sen Clinton.

He has zero credibility as an impartial observer or as a scholar of American mores and cultural norms.

His remarks are designed for nothing more than insulting those whom he deems unworthy of sharing the globe with his esteemed self.

36. Rush is milking this for all it's worth
And that ain't much. This is a pure Drudge-Limbaugh production.

He LOVES the spotlight. We all know this is s BULLSHIT issue.

But I make a point of listening to his show. Have been since the mid-90's.

Trust me, this is ANOTHER one of Rush's BIG CHANCES of being in the news on his own terms. Store-bought relevancy.

He's even mentioned foreign news accounts on this "issue" (Australian, BTW), calling him a "misogynist".

He's loving this.
