Don’t You Know Black Guys Control All The Banks And Media?

@Mediahohoho: Yep, his microphone too.

Thanks I'll be here all night...

Obama owns everything, he owns the moon and stars and Rush's receding hairline.

@C-jacks1: this video, yeah?

@C-jacks1: Ha... haha... BAHAHAHAHAHA!

@rockandhardPL: You know what got us here? The 'Community Reinvestment Act' Carter enacted in 1977, Reagan banged it back down then it was ramped back up under Clinton - banks were forced to make loans to non-qualified buyers. Starting in 2004 Republicans in Congress saw the potential for total disaster ahead but the Democrat-controlled Housing Committee refused to allow regulators to come anywhere near their precious cash cow. They were personally making millions. Here they are - in their own words - denying that there is a problem:

P.S. - Capitalism works - every time - Baby.

@Go Like Hell Machine:

I have a suspicion that C-jacks1 is an Obama-lovin' liberal having some fun playing an unhinged right-wing paranoiac on the internet. His comments are just too comical not to be written in the spirit of parody.

@Nice Beaver:

Yeah, but you build up a tolerance pretty quickly.

ohgee

Has Rush been eating babies again? Whatta fatty.

@C-jacks1: Oh for fuck's sake, go away. Do we go over to WorldNetDaily and shout at you?

@C-jacks1:Also, how is this comment not joining the ranks of Comments of the Week. Richard, get on this!

He's never very far from his big gold penis substitute, is he?

@C-jacks1:Wow, where do I begin. Were you here for the last 8 years? Did you prefer that? One of the reasons our biggest companies are going bankrupt as are the people our government serves is because they must provide health care and benefits that other countries can and do take for granted. Canada, for example, is leaps and bounds in better shape than we are and no one would call Canada a socialist state. You are ridiculously paranoid and definitely even more so than Rush. I get it, its hard to pay for a lot of what Obama wants, but you and your lots response to just leave things alone and the market will figure it out...guess what douche, it doesn't. Had it done so, hundreds and thousands of people in this country would not be suffering right now. Same across the world. Go crawl back up into Rush's ass and die. Thanks.

@C-jacks1: Oh, that's right, I forgot the part where Obama went around seizing and nationalizing huge swaths of the American economy and is forcing everyone to swear loyalty to the state.

I'm just curious, do you actually shout at the computer screen when typing in all capital letters? Maybe scream it out a few times to make sure it comes out in a sufficiently accusatory, blowhardish way? Because that's what I picture when I see a comment that includes the following:
-All capital letters
-Socialist
-Liberal
-Obama

And then I see Jim Newell over at Wonkette laughing hysterically. At least, in my head.

@mossdale: It definitely is the best thing that's happened to them. I kind of wonder if the executives at MSNBC secretly wish Bush was still President.

Oh, Rush... Why so screamy?

@Mymoustache: I love how Obama's "destroying the nation". It's like Bush-Cheney, et al were never even part of the equation.

@C-jacks1: That's nothing compared to the reeducation camps we'll all soon be forced to attend. But considering the Obamas' good fashion sense, I'm looking forward to the stylish mandated uniforms.

Oh noes!

You mean that one ethnic group might potentially be keeping down the other ethnic groups in this country?

Why...that just UNHEARD OF!

Gosh, thanks Chancellor Limbaugh!

USA Uber Alles!

@persimmon: so big capital letters bother you? just wait for nationalized healthcare. you won't make it.

@Paul.B.Dodd: Aaahhh, you got boo-boo. i know... Truth hurts. Maybe later the nice President will smile at you through the TV & you'll feel allllll better.

@onebadclam: Dittoheads have no inside voice. Or unspoken "thought".

@C-jacks1: BYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE. Nice meeting you. Come again next time when your nurse lets you out, OK?

Paul.B.Dodd

@ArmCandy: arm candy - i'm just curious - can you please list the things that Obama has accomplished that you think are "SUCCESSFUL"??

@City_Dater: Do a shot of Jaeger every time he fluffs his golf shirt.

onebadclam

@C-jacks1: Use your inside voice, dear.

@Nice Beaver: you really should have known better. I'm tempted to revoke your internet privileges.

On the bright side, imagine seeing Rush cruising around in one of the pimped out rides we can expect from Obama's car companies. Gold rims for everyone!

onebadclam

IF LIBERALS HAD ANY BRAINS THEY'D BE CONSERVATIVES. WHOLE LOT OF PEOPLE HERE, COMMENTING ABOUT LIMBAUGH, WHO OBVIOUSLY DO NOT LISTEN TO HIS SHOW. YOU JUST WATCH & WAIT & KEEP DRINKING YOUR KOOL-AID & YOU'LL SEE - EVERYTHING RUSH SAID WILL COME TO PASS. IF ANY OF YOU THINK THAT OBAMA ISN'T ENACTING SOCIALISM AS WE SPEAK YOU ARE BLISSFULLY IGNORANT, PATHETICALLY DELUDED, AND DEFINITELY CLUELESS ABOUT WHAT SOCIALISM IS. READ SOME FREAKING HISTORY.

@RheaPollstry: Don't be silly. It is the drugs that tell him what to say.

@theMoJo: Girth of a Nation

Hannity was silent for a whole 1:13 fucking minutes?
Rush is magik.

@kneetoe: I wanted to post a funny picture of a beaver urinating so I searched Google Images for "pissing beaver." "Safe Search" was off. What I just saw makes me think the terrorists will never win.

"If he succeeds it will take 25 years to roll it back." This kills me. Why would anyone want to roll back something that's SUCCESSFUL? Who listens to this pompous prick?

ArmCandy

Anyone else find it hilarious that a man paid to speak on the radio for three hours per day decided to have fake teeth so large installed into his top jaw that he can barely speak in clear sentences. He looks like my grandmother when the denture adhesive was on its last legs.

At what point do Limbaugh's listeners realize that he has officially fallen into a caricature of himself? He's been reduced to black helicopter type nonsense in light of this president's media acumen.

Ryan Danahey

@mossdale: Don't forget talk radio, of course, but also all the local papers all over the country that many people get, or used to get, their news/opinions from, the vast majority of which are right wing (alright, I should probably give a source for that, but finding one would cut into my work productivity).

kneetoe

@Nice Beaver: Wait, beavers piss standing up? Or is it only the nice ones?

kneetoe

@Nice Beaver:

Watching him with the sound off is a truly joyful experience -- pretend he's manically lecturing you, like that weird tweaker who lives down the hall, about Pauly Shore movies or what he had for dinner, which he no doubt also does with the same popeyed intensity he brings to the White Man Got Nothin' Blues.

City_Dater

@ShanghaiLil: I've pointed out the same, and got a response listing ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, "all the newspapers," NPR and such, as if the numbers of media outlets "on the left" collectively outweighed FOX's recent increase. Then, I see FOX crowing they beat out CNN and MSNBC combined. And this doesn't even take into account right wing talk radio, or the internets. It is clear the canard about the MSM is now officially bullshit. That said, I find it interesting, though not surprising, that FOX is really cashing in on Obama hate. Frankly, this election was the best thing ever to happen to them.

@rockandhardPL: i sure hope dupliciclaus got my note asking for a sean hannity gay sex scandal this year!

@Colonel Mustard: Ditto.

@Ken Green: Don't forget Glenn Beck!

squidbait

@Nice Beaver: Thank you! A friend of mine who's a hardcore gay conservative (I know, you don't have to tell ME!) was bitching one time about the liberal bias of the "mainstream media," and I finally interrupted him and shouted, "Fox News has the top cable ratings in the country! You don't get more mainstream than that!"

ShanghaiLil

@ambitious: Not the organic ones, that'd cut into his base.

kneetoe

@kjack: It's ALL OF THEM.

ambitious

I love this man for being so crazy! Mix his pain killers thing with O'Reilly's sexual harrassment thing, then watch them be all conservative and stuff and it just feels like hypocracy Christmas. Keep it coming Rush. Keep it coming.

@ambitious: I thought that was Karl Robe?

kjack

@Richard Lawson: And, in Rush's case, the weight of irony! Rim shot!!!!

New rule;

If you've eaten so many pain killers that you've LOST YOUR FUCKING HEARING, you no longer get to pretend you're the voice of reason.

EddieTheDane

@Nice Beaver: I'd say he was probably abusing large quantities of Adderall, if he didn't look like Jabba the Hutt. I mean, he is completely paranoid and tweaked out.

randomnessish

@Cheap Shot: Bravo.

In his defense, he's high as fuck on OxyContin. I can't even piss standing up after three of those, and this American hero eats about 15 an hour. Color me impressed that he's damn-near coherent!

People bitching about political zealots controlling the news media on Fox News is the height of irony.

Is that the typical right wing answer to everything? If you can't, you know, actually be right about something once in a while, or actually be relevant to most people, then, you know, it must be the Jews and the Blacks, running the banks and the Media. And Puerto Ricans controls the courts! Canadians control the music industry!!!! And Mexicans control....er....Univision! It's not fair, how is a bigoted ignorant white boy supposed to make it in this kind of world!!!

theMoJo

Puts a whole new meaning to the term 'Big Brother'.

I like how they're circling the wagons. Most of the rest of the GOP hates the fact that they are the "fact" of the party so they're drifting away. Which leaves this Rush-Hannity circle jerk. Even Cheney is trying to ease up with his "defense" of gay marriage. And Newt admitting he may have overreacted on Sotomayor? Rush and Sean ... standing alone ranting and raving.

Ken Green

Is that a Cochlear implant or a device for the aliens to tell him what to say?

David Carradine dies a half a world away for nothing but a quick rub out, and yet this waste of oxygen and space still lives. There is no real justice in this world :(

theMoJo

@Mymoustache: Way to hit the nail on the head. It's all sound and fury from them, but no *real* answers or alternatives other than "let's be an angry white nation again!".

theMoJo

I like that he encourages Al Qaeda to hurry up and attack America at the end there. You stay classy Rush!

TheCaliDude

@Darrone: I hate to argue, but I think his forehead untreed is reflecting serious amounts of heat back into space, so we're better off leaving it alone. Now if you had said planting some axes . . .

kneetoe

Fuck. I wish the government would buy *my* company, because then maybe I wouldn't be facing unemployment within the next few weeks. Also I'd finally start getting benefits.

@HiredGoons: Who wants to tell the educated minds of young Israel*?

Obama's also injecting AIDS into our chicken McNuggets. Which is even scarier to me, personally.

ambitious

@Mymoustache: A home? I think we can take a lesson from the Inuit and put this bastard on an ice floe.

Well, at least we know we can always solve global warming by planting some tree's on his forehead.

Darrone

I don't have a problem with the bitching from the right - that's the opposition's job. I think it's pathetic that they offer no solutions or alternatives to dealing with the issues faced by this country. The GOP is looking more and more like an aging parent with dementia - keep it up Rush and you are going to a home!

Mymoustache

Black is the New Jew!

It should be noted that C-Jack-hoo-ha for all his/her crazy eye yelling is correct. Carter, and then later Clinton pressured Fannie Mae into the housing loans that are now what we are terming "high risk" and attributed to the housing bubble bursting. They did indeed deregulate.
Google Clinton and Fannie Mae.
I am a liberal by the way. I think it is important not to get lax no matter what party is in power. The Democrats held sway in Congress for 40 years before they got corrupt and it swung around during the Republican Revolution in 1995. Now that it is Democrat again doesn't mean its all "good." I mean, they are politicians...

I just want health care reform, re-regulations on banking, and better agriculture. Already the health insurance lobby is altering promised reforms... And they are doing it by pressuring the Democratic majority congress...

pony_express

@C-jacks1: I think you need to read the quote again.

@C-jacks1: If I had to listen to what Rush said, I probably would shotgun the kool-aid. I guess it was that socialist public school that I attended that gave me these strange ideals and views...

alexadolan

I TOO HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY AND ALL-CAPS IS THE WAY TO SAY IT!

@C-jacks1: He won! So Eat It.

@mossdale: As long as their constituents just sit on their asses in front of the TV forever, I'm fine with that. It's when they leave the house that life gets ugly.

He's 100% right. You'll see how funny this is when it actually happens.

Almostbanned

@C-jacks1: um, you might want to try writing in lower case next time. you'll seem a lot less like a raving douchebag that way...no disrespect to the raving douchebags of the world...

@persimmon: At first, I thought you might be right. And then it persisted. With links! I'm back to believing it's just a common, garden variety troll.

@C-jacks1: Banned for all caps.

@C-jacks1: FFS, people, obvious troll is soooooo fuckin' obvious. Why are these tards allowed to post on Gawker?

Moriturus

@C-jacks1: So - "Democrats against regulation??" Watch this video - it is the Democrats saying Fannie & Freddie (ever hear of them??) do not need regulation. IN THEIR OWN WORDS. type in the URL: http :/

+ Watch video

@franimaljones:

I think Limbaugh might be onto something. And I'm looking forward to this new socialist America run by women and black folks, with free health coverage for everyone and no more jobs. It'll be just like being back at high school.

Hyperdelic

@franimaljones:I actually think it's completely a wingnut hi-jacking gawker. The New York Times has a great article about how Bush promoting home ownership strongly contributed to the current mess. It simplifies things, but for C-jacks1 to insinuate that this is a Democratic problem is just a lie.

Further, I would love to hear people like this tool explain defense spending for the last 8 years? Or Reagonics with its precious trickle down theory which is actually not true because the wealthy are more likely to save and hoard than to spend. Not that I think we need to be giving money away (I am hardly a fiscal liberal) but let's not talk out of our asses C-jacks--who is more likely to spend and stimulate an economy that is based on consumer spending (or at least 70%)? Do you think it will be the wealthiest top percent or the poor lady who needs to buy diapers for her kids? It is too complicated a mess to ascribe blame to one party, but you have to agree that the shitshow that would ensue if Obama were not trying to put at least a few safety nets in place would be horrid. It happened before. Want to join a breadline?

I like how a moderately obese, uneducated, thrice-divorced pill-popper is the moral imperative for one half of the this country.

@C-jacks1: .."banks were forced"... hahahahahah - by Congress?? ...2004.... Democrat[sic]-Controlled" hahahah. Wrong on both counts. No has controlled anything bank-wise for a decade or so. Where are you getting your information from?? Democrats against regulation?? You're funny. This does sound like a Rush Fantasy for sure. Did you do a cut-and-paste from a wingnut site?

franimaljones

@pony_express: Not to say that Bush's trickle down theory, endless war and general jack assery did not greatly push us over the edge... just saying housing crisis has its roots under Democrat leadership

@C-jacks1: Copy and paste from C-jacks1 Gawker profile...

@ChillbearLatrigue: Healthcare? Solution that doesn't leave a significant portion of the American people un- or under-insured?

@C-jacks1: You've obviously never called Sprint Customer Service.

@pony_express: I don't know if you're right, but you may be, The Labour Government didn't re-introduce regulation in the financial sector after the Conservatives removed them, but I don't really think that's the issue now.

The blame game wont fix things, thank the Lord you've got a dynamic president who looks like he's serious about changing things, we're seemingly stuck with the proverbial Giant Douche and Turd Sandwich.

BiBiVirtue

@C-jacks1: I don't get it, why are Americans so afraid of Socialism? Is it all the free healthcare and social security payments for the needy? Or is it because Socialism and Comunism are the same thing and the Nazis did them!!!!1111!!!!

BiBiVirtue

@Mymoustache: There are answers coming from the right, but they are not well received.

On bailing out the auto-makers in January: Let them go bankrupt now, rather than funneling taxpayer dollars into them just to let them go bankrupt a few months from now. What happened? We funneled taxpayer dollars to two of them and those two have now declared bankruptcy.
Analysis: What was at stake was the Union contracts. The bankruptcy allows them to renegotiate the contracts with the workers. Propping them up kept the bankruptcy alive.

On the February "stimulus package": There was a package proposed by McCain (who I know lost, but you want alternate solutions) that was about 45% of the size of the one that passed. It was obviously rejected. However, nearly the entire package would have been spent by now in the hands of the people who actually stimulate the economy. Instead we went with the larger package, only 20% of which has been spent.
Analysis: McCain's plan was cheaper and would have had twice the stimulative effect at the current time. There's more to this, but it's Gawker, alright? McCain's plan had almost no pork and didn't support non-stimulative government programs.

North Korea and Iran: No headway from either side. We'll call that a tie.

The solutions are routinely shot down with the dismissal phrase: "well isn't that what got us here in the first place." There may be some merit to that in some cases, but don't pretend that no one from the right is offering solutions. If you don't like the ones the Republican leadership is offering, ask me, I will give you some more that you don't like.
