Rush Limbaugh Argues with Caller over Obama Tax Cuts

Rush Limbaugh has been a controversial right wing shock jock for a long time. It should come as no surprise that Rush Limbaugh actually argued with a caller over the Obama tax cuts given that the caller in question said that Obama has cut taxes for 95% of Americans.

It just so happens that Rush and his friends aren't in that 95% of Americans whose taxes were cut, or at least that's the impression I get from listening to the video.

For those who need hard numbers, PoliFacts.com did a study on the Obama tax cuts and found that, when considering the tax credits given out as a part of the stimulus plan the claims are true. You can click here to read their analysis.

The reason that most people don't think that Obama lowered taxes is because the stimulus was handed out in a not so obvious way - first time homeowner tax credits, working tax credits that resulted in higher paychecks, and more.

Listen to Rush Limbaugh talk about the Obama Tax Cuts below and let us know what you think.

Rush Limbaugh Disses Karl Rove after Christine O'Donnell Comments (VIDEO)

Rush Limbaugh dissed Karl Rove after he made negative remarks about Delaware GOP senate Candidate Christine O'Donnell. Although Rove is a Republican himself, he showcased a very common sentiment within the party. The Tea Party Express backed O'Donnell, and although the Tea Party aligns themselves with the GOP, not all members of the party appreciate the movement.

Rove went as far as to say that O'Donnell's nomination made it so that less seats would be won for the Republicans. He pretty much declared her race a failure, and said that the Democrats would most likely win the Delaware seat once held by VP Biden.

Still yet, that's not exactly a good attitude to have if you are a member of the party you are ripping. Sarah Palin said that Rove needed to "Buck Up" and one conservative blogger said that Fox News should suspend Rove, pending an investigation into his objectivity.

Rush Limbaugh said that the GOP should go "balls to the walls" for O'Donnell. They have a battle ahead of them, alright. O'Donnell trails the democratic contender by 11 points, whereas her primary opponent actually lead the polls by the same amount.

This just once again indicates that although there's a strong anti-incumbent sentiment felt, there might not be enough steam to bring Capital Hill to the Republicans.

Rush Limbaugh: New York Jets Reporter Ines Sainz is "Bootylicious" "Boobalicious"

Rush Limbaugh claims that Ines Sainz, a TV Azteca reporter covering the NY Jets is "bootylicious" and "boobalicious." The thing about Rush Limbaugh is he says what's on his mind and doesn't seem to honor politically correct guidelines that many of those in the media do.

Ines Sainz is a reporter for TV Azteca that claimed to have been uncomfortable while trying to report on the NFL team. Although she didn't lodge a formal complaint, some Twitter comments that she made have perked the NFL's ears.

As you know, the NFL doesn't tolerate any sideways conduct. They expect players to behave like "gentlemen" at all times - and that's a noble expectation.

Well, Sainz says she couldn't have conducted locker room interviews of the players because of "Male Hormones."

What's erupted from all this is, of course, a media circus. Does Ines dress inappropriately, and therefore "deserve" the treatment she allegedly received, or should she be treated professionally no matter how she portrays herself?

Rush Limbaugh: Barack Obama “Anti-American”

Rush Limbaugh says that President Obama is the first “Anti-American” president. Limbaugh is a controversial conservative who has recently made Facebook fame for his wedding photos.  However, Limbaugh spoke his mind and called the president “Anti-American.”

The issue lies with the 9/11 “Ground Zero” mosque. There has been much controversy over the American president claiming that the Muslims have the fundamental “right” to build a place of worship on private property near where radical Islamists flew two planes into the World Trade Center in 2001.

Obama has received much criticism, as while it may be “legal” for the Muslims to build their mosque near that place, it’s not respectful of the thousands of lost American lives which happened on that day.

Limbaugh received criticism for his remarks, as expected. On Reddit, the following was proclaimed about Rush’s recent rant:

Limbaugh sarcastically suggests that we build a Hindu Temple next to Pearl Harbor and a Mosque next to the Pentagon... without realizing that Shinto, not Hinduism, is the most common religion in Japan , and there is already a Mosque inside the Pentagon and a Shinto temple next to Pearl Harbor .

The controversy into the 9/11 mosque continues.

Rush Limbaugh: Facebook Followers of President Obama "Suckers", offers Free Autographed iPad

Rush Limbaugh called Obama's Facebook followers "suckers" in his latest foray into social media communication.  The talk show host also posted several pictures of his wedding on the site as well, for all the world to see.

Obama has 12.4 million Facebook followers, and according to Rush, these individuals are: suckers.  Of course the claim comes as little shock as Rush isn't exactly the biggest Obama fan.

In a flash of irony, Rush Limbaugh has made his foray into to Social media himself. Of course, he likely doesn't think that HIS fans are suckers. After all - they are all being entered to win their very own iPad signed by none other than the conservative radio show talk show host himself.

Rush has over 272,000 fans so far - but that's merely peanuts when compared to President Obama's bankroll friend list.

But honestly - ask yourself this - how many times do you actually interact with the "famous" people on your Facebook list? Exactly.

So what do you think....are Obama's followers really suckers or are Rush's followers actually "fair weather" followers, only there for the possible free iPad?
