Rush Limbaugh went after a young HS graduate on his radio show because she broke down and cried talking about the environment and Global Warming.
via email:
An 18-year-old Inuit from Alaska sobbed through her congressional testimony before Edward Markey’s committee this morning as she described Global Warming’s disastrous effects on her community. Of course, Rush Limbaugh didn’t hesitate to attack her on his radio show today.
The Gavel has the video of her testimony.
Lockwood:…just through my lifetime I’ve seen so many changes in our communities that it just hurts, it’s really scary to lose our tradition, our culture. We’ve been living here for thousands of years and it’s not just that we’re losing our food, it’s losing our homes because we are spiritually connected and emotionally and physically connected to our homes. There are so many communities that are in trouble. It’s an emergency, we need to take action now.”
(Cheryl) Charlee Lockwood From St. Michael Village in Alaska, Cheryl Lockwood has taken a leadership role in her community on environmental issues. Cheryl has traveled the state of Alaska giving climate change presentations to her peers, and gathering signatures demanding action on issues of global warming. For all of her work, Charlee received the Alaska Conservation Foundation Denny Wilcher Award for Outstanding High School Activism
No Trackbacks To “Limbaugh Attacks!“
Rush Limbaugh - forever the coward. He doesn’t have the balls to pick on someone his own age.
First? maybe?
Is that Larry Craig’s penis in his mouth, or a cigar-shaped. battery-powered, anal pleasure device for “not gay” right wingers?
I never listened to the comedian, was this a genuine call or scripted like most of his calls are? It is all about the entertainment value when it comes to cult radio.
stop quoting this guy plz. it demeans the site! i mean it. i been reading you guys for a long time now and it’s getting old seeing his name and face.
I want to shoot myself for listening to that.
Rush looks really happy sucking on that big turd…..
He’s jealous. She’s a kid who is much smarter than he is, and he knows it.
i bet that scumbag cried when they took the drugs away.
Do the right wing machine thing. Pass this shit around to everyone and pile on this fat piece of garbage.
I absolutely refuse to listen to this sickening excuse for a human being. Would that someone would fill his mouth with cement and tie it shut until it hardened.
the only children that el druggo likes are the south american ones he can stick his putrid dick into
i heard bill bennett say this morning that rush is the most influential conservative in america
if that is true, than every con is a fucking perv and should be locked up
but hey, he wasnt really making fun of her…he was making fun of the people who put words into her mouth and forced her into a crowd
shes just a fake inuit
fuck the fat perv
Who’s Rush Limbaugh?
what do the 12 yr old that you bang in the Dominican Republic think about this, Rush? You pigfucker!
It is easier for Limbaugh to attack this young woman than it was for him to enlist in the army during the Vietnam War and fight the Viet Cong. Apparently going after a defenseless woman is a hell of a lot simpler than going after someone who has an assault rifle in his hands. Like John Wayne and George Bush, Limbaugh embodies the less than heroic values of the red-blooded American, testosterone-filled, macho male.
get used to it, this guy has millions of listeners who vote republican that believe his crap.
there he goes again making fun of children, making fun of people with disabilities.
the caller said ‘land bridge that melted’, didnt know land melted.
sure the earth is getting warmer, they cannot comprehend that man is making
it warmer faster, duh.
There it is folks, today’s Worst Person in the World:
“If you learned it in a college classroom, we can’t trust it.” (2:56 in the audio clip)
Rush Limbaugh, Nov. 5, 2007
I refuse to listen to the audio, as I refuse to give his sick point of view any further audience. But does he address the student’s message at all? Or is he just attacking her personally? I’m sure he has never sobbed a day in his life. He hasn’t been able to have a successful marriage and has no children. Obviously the man just can’t get along with anyone personally, so why do people agree with this misanthrope without realizing his underlying hatred of anyone who isn’t exactly like him?
I wonder if Limbaugh’s house has any landscaping problems? Chances are he has half a dozen illegals working on his yard.
I thought it was contental shift was the reason that Alaska is not connected to Russia. Am I right or wrong?
The saddest part of it all is that this crap has helped Republicans win elections. Says a lot about our country, doesn’t it? People listen to Limbaugh, believe his crap, proudly proclaim themselves “dittoheads”, and vote for the Grand Old Party.
No wonder the rest of the world hates us…
What a moving testimony, and she’s as cute as a button. It makes you ache right down to your soul…………..so much gone, never to be seen again. I drift off to sleep some night’s dreaming of an apple orchard with the trees in full bloom. Used to be one right in my backyard.
I grew up around the Seneca Nation, so I am very connected to the Native traditions. What can you expect from Limpbaugh, he’s a contorted, distorted individual who had to resort to claiming he couldn’t serve his country due to a cyst on his bum-bum. He’s been a self-loathing bully ever since. I’ve never listened to anything he does and I am really tired of any attention, even a morsel, that blogs throw his way.
I second Chip’s sentiment, who is Rush Limbaugh? He’s a man that used his immigrant cleaning lady to purchase one dollar less of ten thousand dollars of Oxycontin a month. And vilified the ACLU while they were simultaneously protecting his medical records from public purview. He’s someone that had a ‘friend’ lend him a bottle full of Viagra for a “golfing trip” to the Dominican Republic - a place known for their underage child prostitution trade and not so much the golfing.
So just who IS Rush Limbaugh? Well, he’s someone who does not like women. That’s evident enough throughout his syphillitic musings. A sick closet case of epic proportions? Well, the DR trip seems to lend itself to that theory. I wonder what would happen if the Left ignored Rush the Sexually Deviant Moron and his side-kick dAnne the Self-Loathing Half-Chick? Maybe they’d go away. So please folks, let’s look at these morally bankrupt moralizers for who they are…fake and rich because we don’t ignore them. I for one would love if they became less rich as a result of being ignored. Wouldn’t you?
let’s see now, give them free rein and see who else they can alienate. it really doesn’t impact until it hits close to home, and they have shown that no one is immune to their attacks. rot in hell, rush.
Rush is an idiot, the real attack is KO’s special comment on torture.
I heard the little bawl baby. I laughed - she was hysterical. Repeat after me “the earth has been warmer many times before , Mother Earth can take care of herself”. Heck the hottest year on record was 75 years ago. Sing me a sad song. And NO THE DEBATE ON WHETHER GLOBAL WARMING IS REAL IS NOT OVER.
Question Blog @ 4:
Um, that’s what the whole “Crooks and Liars” thing is all about, is calling out scumbags like Rush’s Limpbaugh in the media when they do stuff like this. If you’ve been a regular at C&L for “for a long time now” I’d think you’d have noticed. This is not a site that will just ignore ignoramuses like Rush and hope they go away on their own.
Verdeen @ 25:
another genius, compassionate, conservative chimes in
fuck you fat boy
Verdeen @ 25:
That was in the US.
On the global scale (You know that little area outside America) the hottest it’s been was VERY recent.
NOW STFU.
“As worthless Americans drive by on the way to their trailer parks…”
- That’s no way to talk about 90% of your audience, Rush.
I also can’t listen to the idiot. The only thing stupider than limpballs are his listeners.
Chip @ 12:
He’s nobody. He’s nothing.
You can’t argue with ’stupid’…
I’m a little slow but did his caller ask the question “how did they(Alaskans) get to Alaska, Didn’t they cross a frozen bridge?” They’re Alaskans. They didn’t come from Tennessee. The First big immigration of illegals, those Alaskans who came from Alaskans
Rush plays to the dumb non-Alaskan drop outs….and it works.
DaveK @ 16:
Thats it! Limbaugh has his head so far up his own ass he does not know which way to turn to find daylight.
Question Blog @ 4:
I agree 100%.
C&L -
OMFG - you’ve GOT to get the Abrams show snippet with Buchanon, Maddow, and some Navy guy who had been waterboarded. Buchanan gets a new one ripped for him - Abrams calls him insane. lol!
Radically Moderate @ 34:
Limbaugh flunked out of college is it any shock that he resents higher education?
BTW notice that he lumps BYU in with Berkley?
Why does Congress keep putting crying children on display? Do they think they are really smarter than adults? Or is it just a sympathy play? The last one is the right question. Children parrot what adults say. They have no new insightful ideas. By the way I too am selling Carbon Offsets. I will plant a turnip in your name if you send me ten bucks. It’s a bargain (an advantageous purchase) and if you toss in another $10 I will send you the turnip your Carbon Offset grew.
Rush Limbaugh created the divide in America. Through his radio broadcasts for personal fame and fortune. Rush Limbaugh created the genre.
Glen Beck is the newest copycat of Rush’s effort to create income for themselves. In service of making money off the listeners tuned to evangelical radio stations. and TV stations like Fox.
American Citizens used to talk to one another and engage in discussion before the Evangelical Christian movement got their man Geo W Bush in office. Once he was in, there was no more discussion. My country went to war partly based on a belief in the End Times and Biblical Prophecy. See where that has got me. I am ashamed of my country’s actions since 9-11. The real President Dick Cheney has dominated the inarticulate Geo Bush all along.
The whole evangelical religious movement in America ought to recognize that they caused the current strife. Evangelical Christians mind your own business and stop trying to influence politics. Go Away. Mind your flocks. Stay away from secular America. Your ideas put in practice only harm people.
Uncle Joe - Sweetheart - when and why did the discussion get so heated? I’m not a guy and I’m a democrat - which I have been for years. You obviously don’t want anyone on this site to have a different idea. So sorry. Can’t we all just get along? Maybe you need to cut out the coffee and coconut cake if you are this stressed - poor little dear.
Ms. Lockwood and her people are witness to a tragedy on the scale of another Katrina, except this is a permanent tragedy.
Alaska has two Republican senators, one of whom is embroiled in scandal. I hope this young woman and her community will find a cleaner politician who is with a party that accepts the reality of global warming and takes responsibility for doing something about it.
Mr. Limbaugh believes in wounding the messenger–and in burying his head in the melted permafrost like an ostrich.
Where are all of OxyFatFuck’s defenders on this thread? Dittiots, speak up! Tell us what he “really meant”.
Apparently, ElDrugbo’s shows are to his listeners like dog whistles are to dogs: only they can hear the hidden meanings.
Have folks seen the story on the intelligence officers who have sent a letter to the Senate Judiciary about holding the Mukasey nomination. Joe Wilson and Valerie Plame signed it. Over at Think Progress and at No Quarter. Crooks and liars should post it.
Verdeen @ 38:
I hope for their sake you never have children.
Wow. I’ve been reading all your really great rants. You all don’t get out of New York City much. Or are you all from Baltimore ? - they talk like that there too. Little hot headed mimics. Never been out of the city. Believe everything House Speaker Nancy tells them - even if it contradicts something she said yesterday.
