Rush Limbaugh blames Liberals for obesity

[CatWoman]

LIMBAUGH: And so, now, we find out that there is obesity and all this amongst the poor more than amongst those who are not poor. It’s sort of a textbook case of what happens when we let liberals have their way. I mean, for decades, all over the world, we’ve been beat about the head that there are hungry people out there, that they are starving. UNICEF — how many of you trick-or-treated for UNICEF? Did you "Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF," Brian? We all did — did you? We all trick-or-treated. One of the biggest scams on the face of the earth. It was — the scam was to get everybody loving the United Nations. The scam was to get everybody thinking the United Nations is feeding poor people. Remember all these stories: "A dime a day will feed 20 kids in some outward place around the world"?

LIMBAUGH: This is what happens when you let the left run things. We’ve been beat about the head. There are hungry people everywhere. UNICEF got it all started. We’ve seen the babies with the extended tummies, the walking skeletons, told that kids can’t learn unless they’re fed. We’ve been guilted into pouring resources on the problem. And now, now, the latest crisis is that there is obesity among those who are impoverished. Because we are sympathetic, we are compassionate people, we have responded by letting our government literally feed these people to the point of obesity. At least here in America, didn’t teach them how to fish, we gave them the fish. Didn’t teach them how to butcher a — slaughter a cow to get the butter, we gave them the butter. The real bloat here, as we know, is in — is in government.

1. How did he say all that and not choke on the mouthfull of pills?

He has talent!

[SteppingRazor]

2. But if obesity goes hand in hand with poverty, how does that explain...

Rush Limbaugh's gi-normous ass?

6. Cheap, high carbohydrate foods cause obesity..

If you have to eat too much pasta, Mac N' Cheese, Ramen noodles, bread, potatoes, etc., you're getting alot of empty calories and alot of weight.

[SteppingRazor]

15. Um ... I know. That was a joke.

You know, funny? Ha ha. Rush Limbaugh's as big as a blimp. Hee hee?


Anyway, this is just another example of Rush confusing the issue, something he does well. He equates the obesity problem in America's poor with UNICEF's aiding of poor people throughout the world. And while obesity and poverty can go hand in hand in America, the same cannot be said of sub-Saharan Africa, for example. I'm sure Rush lis well aware of this, but I'm equally sure that he doesn't give a fuck.

21. High fructose corn syurp.....the root of all evil!

[AndyA]

3. Well, Rush Limpballs should know all about OBESITY...

He's the world's BIGGEST FAT ASS!

Go choke on some Oxycontin pills, Rush.

[11 Bravo]

4. His parents were liberal?

If so, then the fat sack of shit is technically correct.

23. yes it's all our fault somehow that he's fat

jeebus this dude needs to get in a real rehab and kick the drugs for once and for all

he is pathetic with a capital pee

[Solly Mack]

7. so rush got fat because of liberals?

[chaplainM]

8. "...slaughter a cow to get butter?"

Is that a metaphor for the ham-handed way Mr. Bush achieved "regime change?"

[Deja Q]

9. Well, Rush sure looks fed and it's clear he hasn't learned too much...

(everybody can be right once in a while, but Rush is a real whackpot... though we won't hear him talk of drug abusers for at least another 5 years or when the collective public forgets, which will be in about 3 weeks...)

[zanne]

10. DU is fattening?

That's why I'm so chunky! It's not me; it's all you liberals making me fat each time I log in here. I knew there was a good reason for this.

[jpak]

11. Slaughter the cow to get the butter????

Does chocolate milk come from brown cows too???

[fishwax]

26. that was my favorite part too

[tocqueville]

12. slaughter a cow to get the butter ?

I alway wondered where butter comes from... this man is obviously a bull-expert...

[Lost-in-FL]

13. Yeah... Isn't it Clinton's fault?

[butterfly77]

14. what's his excuse fat ass rich bastard...

[Warpy]

16. What's that fat hog's excuse?

Oh, right, they took his dope away.

[bullwinkle428]

17. Fell off my chair laughing this morning when S. Miller played the

sound bite on her show!!

[BOSSHOG]

18. "When you let the left run things."

rush, its a current report. You and your badass, flag waving, constitution hating "christians" have been in charge for awhile. And Mississippi (a red state, rush) is number one in obesity. Aren't my fellow Mississippians who listen to you and are "conservatives" free thinkers able to make the right choices for themselves? Or maybe they just want to be drug addicted, fat ass, divorcee like you rush. God don't you wish you had a military medal or two to show the lemmings? God, to dispute them is becoming boring.

[Cleita]

19. Is he speaking for himself?

Did some bad ole liberals nail his feet to the floor and forced food down his throat?

[warrens]

20. Yeah, I admit it

It's my fault that fat fuck hasn't seen his feet in 45 years.

[Nikki Stone 1]

22. Rush is the poster child for obesity! Did liberals make him fat?

Hmmm...

[Dems Will Win]

24. Interesting to note that Alabama is the 2nd fattest state

And liberal Massachusetts is the most fit...

[civildisoBDence]

25. This from the fat windbag who talks about his "formerly nicotine stained

fingers" while smoking an effin' cigar.

The same bloated bloviator who talks about sending drug users "up the river" while whacked out on oxicontin.

Hypocrisy without shame.

News and commentary, left to right

[xxqqqzme]

27. I don't know which drugs he's on now

but I have NEVER in my life had 2 slaughter a cow 2 get butter and I made a lot of butter when we had our farm. Not ONE cow - not one - none!

[karynnj]

28. In his case not true, Kerry's spkesperson told him to pick up a history

book, not a donut. It's not their fault he took the donuts instead.

[jazzjunkysue]

29. Who does he blame for flatulance and impotence?

Captain Kangeroo?
