To dispel any lingering doubt that Rush is completely unhinged, today he claimed this...

[bluesbassman]

Rush Limbaugh says Obama manipulated hurricane forecasts to delay GOP convention.

On his radio show today, Rush Limbaugh suggested that the government manipulated hurricane forecasts in order to force Republicans to cancel a day of their national convention, saying the model “allows them to do it.”

“The hurricane center is the regime; the hurricane center is the Commerce Department. It’s the government. It’s Obama,” Limbaugh said.

~snip~

Limbaugh communicated his absurd theory on this imaginary scheme while simultaneously claiming “I’m not alleging conspiracy.”

His latest conspiracy theory matches the absurdity of his claim from last July, when he said the heat index was “manufactured by the government” in order to convince the American people that it’s hotter outside.

1. Seriously gotta wonder when this guy will be committed.

He's really got some mental health issues. I'm not kidding.

[abelenkpe]

7. +1000 nt

[Care Acutely]

10. The streets would be all but empty if everyone with mental health issues were committed.

I'm not kidding either.

Good people, liberal people, battle mental health challenges every day. We cheapen and demonize their struggles when we explain away the antics of malfecient charlatans as mental health issues.

[Lex]

29. Yeah, well, something is deeply wrong with him.

And be careful not to fall off your high horse.

[Care Acutely]

30. I'm sorry that pointing out this particular discrimination was uncomfortable for you.

But I'm actually much more concerned about the stigma dumped upon what is perhaps the most marginalized and vulnerable population among us.

[Lex]

35. Uncomfortable for you maybe.

But please don't pretend to have a corner on the market for being "concerned."

[Frank Cannon]

2. Oxycontin is a hell of a drug, kids.

Remember, not even once.

[lpbk2713]

3. OxyRush keeps trying to outdo himself in glaring stupidity.

Seriously, it makes me wonder how anyone can say they regularly
listen to his program without feeling a sense of embarrassment.

[B Calm]

4. That's exactly what we did. Damn, he's catching on to us!!

[Booster]

5. Sandra Fluke made him irrelevant and he is falling apart. She brought him down - that little woman.

[JoePhilly]

21. That fact must drive the windbag insane.

[madokie]

24. She sure did and we should all thank her

Showed him to be the clueless, classless asshole he really is. Anyone who listens to that shit should be horse whipped. Metaphorically that is

[Marie Marie]

6. It must be terribly sad for those few remaining brain cells to be rattling around that big fat head.

I'll bet that they are trying really really hard but there just aren't enough of them left to string together a coherent, rational thought.

[Tx4obama]

8. If the GOP convention had been four days instead of three ...

it would have just been even worse than it was

[pacalo]

16. No kidding -- Limpballs should be prattling on with praise to President Obama for

such an act of mercy.

[aletier_v]

9. Rush rummaging through his medicine cabinet again.

[Tigress DEM]

11. Rush needs a buckle up the back white jacket and duct tape over his yap.

[nolabear]

12. *Ahem*. It's entertainment. He may be the only one who doesn't realize he's the monkey in the zoo.

There's nothing so interesting as a punk who thinks he's the one running the show. He might be making a lot of money, but that does not mean he's anything more than the main attraction in PT Barnum's show. Who's Barnum? Whomever hired him and keeps him going and makes money off of him. And as far as I can tell that is an ever dwindling crop of money men.

Rush is gone. He just doesn't know it yet.

[HooptieWagon]

22. This is true. He's a shock-jock.

He has to continually come up with ever more outrageous statements to keep his audience.

[Beartracks]

13. Does oxycontin abuse fry your brain?

Just askin'.

====================

[ToxMarz]

14. His poor wife

Can't you imagine she is appalled he hasn't just dropped dead yet. Interesting to see how long she will hang in for a BIG payday or cut her losses and run.

[Suji to Seoul]

15. is this guy on dru. . .never mind.

[DiverDave]

19. lol

thanks for the laugh.

[left on green only]

17. I think inventing the outrageous is how he makes his living

After a while, he runs out of ideas and must regress from the sublime to the ridicules.

For all I know he could even be a closet democrat on the sly.

[sorefeet]

18. I think when his contract runs out

He is done. They won't offer 50 million a year again and he won't take less. Bain owns clear channel and they will go under just like all the other Romney/Bain ventures. We are almost done with Limbaugh.

[ThomThom]

20. You can't trust the weather man

no you can't

[flyguyjake]

23. I can't believe this

racist bigot is still on the air. I don't think there's a more disgusting American than cRush Limpbrow.

[johnlucas]

25. There's gotta be at least ONE of his listeners who says "OK you're putting me on"

Somebody who listens to his show who thinks or says out loud "OK man let's bring it down a notch. This is silly."
Somebody? Anybody?

I hope somebody doesn't really buy into all this bull this man says.
At least one sign of resistance I hope.
John Lucas

[Blue Owl]

26. Easy on the critical thinking there, Ru$h...

[get the red out]

27. If a liberal said something like this on the radio about a conservative

They'd never be on air again.

[rurallib]

28. Anyone know if he still has any sponsors?

[Initech]

31. Holy crap - Rush has completely gone off the deep end.

If I were Clear Channel I would be looking for the cop out in that ridiculous contract they signed with him.

[Egalitarian Thug]

32. Here's a question; How stupid do you have to be to listen to this idiot? I mean seriously, this

tribute to P. T. Barnum sans imagination, was tired and done a decade ago. He sheds sponsors like a leper sloughs body parts, hasn't been right since most of his audience started collecting their Social Security checks, and now performs daily as a parody of himself.

Why bother?

[bluesbassman]

33. Sadly, enough still do. I'm currently debating a friend of my brother on FB...

(well schooling actually ) and his talking ponts are straight out of Rush and Beck's playbook. The weird thing is how he takes himself so serious and how SURE he is of his info. When I call him on the lies with a fact, his only response is; "where'd you get that, on Google?" Uh, yeah as a matter of fact I did.

[Ms. Toad]

34. Old news - this is from before the convention

The date is to the left of the article near the top (Aug 27).

He's still living in a fantasy world, it is the world 2 weeks ago (when they didn't yet know where the hurricane was going to go).
