Rush Limbaugh Tells the Unemployed and Disabled They Need to Suffer More

By: Jason Easley
July 9th, 2012


On his radio show Rush Limbaugh told Republicans that they have to make the unemployed and disabled suffer more if they want to beat Obama.

Here’s the audio from Media Matters - @ link~

Transcript via Rush Limbaugh:

Limbaugh has it all figured out. The reason why Romney hasn’t got the election in the bag is because unemployed people aren’t suffering enough. If the unemployed suffer more, they will hate Obama and vote for Romney. Notice that Rush dismissed whether or not increasing the suffering of people mattered. It is all about politics, and how to get Mitt Romney elected president.

Rush Limbaugh expressed the same attitude that Mitch McConnell demonstrated when he said that 30 million people not having healthcare wasn’t an issue. Limbaugh’s comments are more evidence that Republicans are trying to make people suffer more in order to win an election.

Republicans really are scared that Mitt Romney is such a lousy candidate that he is going to lose to Obama, no matter what condition of the economy is in November.

If Obama does win a second term, people like Rush Limbaugh will blame the unemployed for their defeat, and claim that if the Republican Party had only made them more miserable and starved them just bit a little more, they would have beaten Obama.

The message from Rush Limbaugh and the entire right is clear. Corporations are people, but the unemployed, the poor, and the disabled are not.

But I am really surprised he hasn't been shot. He must have Blackwater giving him security.

I now know who buys those bomb proof armor cars.
