Catapult Expert Sought for Rush Job
“Group of Investors looking for experienced carpenter to build over-sized catapult sturdy enough to fling Rush Limbaugh all the way to Costa Rica and help him make good on his promise to leave the country if the health care reform bill became law.”

Now that the health care/communist manafesto is in place you will probably need permission from King Obama or Queen Nancy before you waste the wood that it takes to build the catapult. After this American hating government get’s through with us you will be as sorry as I am. At least Rush like his Country and our Constitution unlike how our Government and maybe even you feel. Communism is when the government takes over private property (Fanny May & Freddy Mac) and takes over private Health care and private businesses like ( Banks, GM, Insurance Companies ) and next it will be the Oil Companies. For Gods sake read a dam history book ( oops I didn’t mean to mention God in front of you, sorry. I am a voting eyes wide open democrat, the key words here in this sentence are “eyes wide open” how can you like this President? He has just unloaded more cost to you personally with this so called health care mandate than we have had to suffer at one time in our history as a country.
Good luck to you, you will need it, we will all need it.

Typical bunch of brainwashed liberals.
Rush never said he was leaving. He said if healthcare passed he “might as well get his healthcare from Costa Rica”. This is because the quality of obamacare will be no different than it is in a third world nation.
Why do liberals just blindly repeat talking points and don’t think for themselves?

I say tie a leg of lamb to his back and drop him off in africa.

What have you got against Costa Rica? I was just there, staying at Finca Luna Nueva, site of the first Sacred Seed Sanctuary. I can think of a lot of places to send The Rushster, but CR isn’t one of them.

@reality
“Uh, if this passes and it’s five years from now and all that stuff gets implemented, I am — leaven’ the country. I’ll go to I’ll go to Costa Rica.”
Am I missing anything?
March 29th, 2010 at 8:24 pm
Rush is just someone who says what he see’s. Thats a good thing by the way. But how come when I pay for healthcare all my life and have always done so because I have always worked, am I not interested in a health care system? Well go back to the previous sentence, simple. Now I have to pay for someone elses healthcare because someone told me I have too? I don’t get why its a big deal to have to pay for someone else to see a doctor since I am so busy working and have no time to see one myself. I may as well have my hard earned cash pay for someone who can sit on there ass and do nothing, Maybe even for someone who is a criminal, I mean illegally here not paying taxes.
I just wish I could move to a country, maybe Costa Rica, where I can get my doctor for free and have those morons pay for me. It would be great to live in Cuba where it its OK to get beatup AND see the doctor within minutes of each other. Too bad they can’t afford to buy there own shoes but hey, it would be nice. I could live in any middle eastern country where its OK to do anything you want, except be civil, but I might get shot for saying that. But I must be in America because I do have shoes and I did say what I wanted to say and I can even pay for someone else to go to the doctor so I don’t have too.
It must be nice to do those things but unfortunately I am stuck here with all the other americans and every single other imigrant that is smarter than all the americans around me. You see he can come here and steal what is not his and not be punished and he can get free healthcare and go home when he is done and even bring his whole family over to get the care he needs. So why would any moron live anywhere else in this world when its all here in America.
Thanks Obama, you are a real hero for making every human live in the good ole USA to force my kids to now live in another country to get away from the future of america. I can’t wait until November to start and if it ever does reach 2012, we will finally be rid of the filth if not sooner.

This is pretty funny. Perhaps it should join the Best of Craigslist? I really like those, and wish there were more of them, and wish there were a Facebook-like “Like” button, and wish there were a book, too.
March 31st, 2010 at 8:24 pm
Now, this one really made me laugh
March 31st, 2010 at 8:34 pm
Make it bigger and fling both Houses of Congress as well.

> Rush is just someone who says what he see’s [sic].
No, he’s just someone who says what he knows other people -want- to see, reinforces their desires to be angry at something, anything, due to their increasing desparation in an increasingly destabilized and troubled world, and tells them what they want to see, gives them a focus, an easy target for their anger - all very smoothly and expertly - so as to get rich.
“Follow the money.” Always follow the money, folks. He’s doing -one- thing honestly, at least - practicing free-market capitalism. Getting rich doing what he does best, in the great tradition of Phineas T. Barnum.
In an interview just after President Clinton got elected the first time, he admitted he was glad of it because it would increase his listener base and the number of stations carrying his syndicated radio show many times over.
He may be a hate-mongering demagogue, but he’s not stupid. And he’s not poor. He can afford to rail against government involvement in health care insurance reform, because he really doesn’t have a dog in that fight.

> wish there were a book, too.
I recommend “Logic and Mr. Limbaugh: a Dittohead’s Guide to Fallacious Reading”, available by special order at better local bookstores everywhere (hint hint). I read it in the early 90s when I was listening to the Big Ditto regularly for years, when I had the time and stomach to do so. The author was then the chairman of the philosophy department at Plymouth State University and taught classes in logic and critical thinking.
It neatly decontructs the nonstop cascade of classical formal and informal rhetorical/logical fallacies that populate literally every sentence that comes out of Rushkin’s mouth during his show. The book’s tone is pop-scholarly, and very enjoyably accessible, foregoing Latin and footnote style textbook format for (a bit nerdy) attempts at humor.
Anyone who wants to “hold his enemies closer” should read this book.

> before you waste the wood that it takes to build the catapult.
Gonna need specially alloyed high strength titanium steel for this job . . .
April 3rd, 2010 at 9:22 am
Would be interesting to know if he stands by what he said or not. Otherwise would people think that he kind of made a fool out of himself if he leaves the country or not. I doubt that he will ever leave U.S. anyway.
April 3rd, 2010 at 11:21 am
Limbaugh should get a private jet with chapagne, dancing girls, and paid vacation for a month at the Bahamas, for his stand on the B.O. Health Plan….
April 4th, 2010 at 6:38 pm
No lets keep Rush and fling Obama overseas. after all he belongs there and not here anyway!!!
April 5th, 2010 at 12:17 pm
Shouldn’t all right-thinking people condemn this kind of violent, inflammatory, and hateful rhetoric? Or is it only OK when “progressives” do it?
April 5th, 2010 at 8:15 pm
Unless Obama and his minions, give this catapult, their government run seal of approval, not gonna happen.
I can think of many others who should be catapulted instead of Rush. What did he ever do to you?
Did he raise your taxes?
Take away your freedom of speech
Force you to go on a socialized, healthcare plan
Has he ever asked you for access to your bank accounts??
Didn’t think so.
April 6th, 2010 at 3:42 pm
..I agree with tieing the leg of lamb to his back and sending is fat ass flying to Africa in a place away form children if the catapult dont hav quit enough strenght we might need some one to stick a giant bottle rocket up his fat hog ass ..to give that extra needed power to carry his fat ass ..Probably put a add in Rush’s magazine to get some one …Wanted
some one to stick a giant cigar between Rush’s big lips …Heck i bet they
would come running to do it
April 6th, 2010 at 11:16 pm
Such a wastage of wood…
April 7th, 2010 at 7:22 am
yes yes yes …. we heard it all already and nothing has changed for the past decade.
April 7th, 2010 at 11:51 pm
Thats a crazy post lol.
April 8th, 2010 at 4:55 am
Rush is good at what he does, he must be because he makes a lot of money, It is easy to get people to believe in lies and hate instead of having people use there brain. Lets repeal all health care, medicare, social security, DWI laws, traffic laws and any BANK regulations. Let the BIG and rich survive. For heaven sake don’t get your PSA checked for cancer the insurance can cancel you for preexisting condition. 500 men die each week from that silly prostate cancer and since about 50% of the population have Y chromosome what the hell.
April 9th, 2010 at 8:58 am
That image is actually a Trebuchet not a catapult. Time to tune into Rush. See ya.
April 9th, 2010 at 1:15 pm
How about making whichever fool Baldwin brother and the rest of the Hollywood idiots who promised to move away is Bush got elected to a 2nd term make good on their promises first. Without them and their blind, fellating, idol worshipping, this joke of a president might not have conned 53% of Americans into voting a socialist, America hating pig into office.
Mind you, the Repugs didn’t put up much of an opposition, but good god, idiots voted for this guy because they thought he was going to pay their mortgage! I think we got what we deserved in a way. The least educated, most ill-informed electorate ever showed up in droves to vote for this horrible, horrible man solely based on his skin color. I hope they’re freaking happy now, now that we as a nation, for generations to come will have to work hard as hell to undo all the wrongs they this administration have already and will continue to unleash on us in the years they have remaining.
obama is ruining this country, plain and simple and doing it in a much worse, more direct way that any radio personality ever could. Good job all you ignorant, uneduacted government teat suckers, enjoy what you’ve created… All the rest of us hardworking people will have to try to fix this b.s. As you sit back and collect your welfare, food stamps and unemployment while paying no income tax. Hope you’re proud of yourselves, no one else is.
April 11th, 2010 at 11:40 am
who cares nobodies reading this crap plus half the people that comment sound retarded! I just want freedom, stop holden us down gov.
April 12th, 2010 at 11:13 am
Gee I didn’t hear anything from idiots like you when other Idiots like Barbara Striesand or the Idiot Julia Roberts and maybe a few more brilliant people made the comment “If George Bush is elected I’m moving out of America” and “If George Bush is re-elected I’m moving out of America” Where was your outrage then, hmmmmmm?? IDIOT
April 12th, 2010 at 12:05 pm
sweet politics bro
April 13th, 2010 at 12:36 pm
Rush Limbaugh rock, and, if you don’t like him YOU suck !!!
No country is the same, but, the idiots in all countrys are.
Those who live by idiology make everyone suffer by realety.
W/love, X-Commy (by force).
April 13th, 2010 at 4:15 pm
REALITY,
“Rush never said he was leaving.”
Yes. Rush did- I am — leaven’ the country. I’ll go to I’ll go to Costa Rica.”
See? That is reality, Limbaugh’s reality, which was and is just a long string of lies for his own profit.
“This is because the quality of obamacare will be no different than it is in a third world nation.”
That is just pure fiction. I recommend to anyone that thinks our healthcare doesn’t need thorough reform to watch “Sicko”. Yes. It is by Michael Moore which I’m sure you despise, but it is well worth the view. If seen with an open mind the above quote, and those like it, will likely never be uttered again.
MIKE,
“Rush is just someone who says what he see’s.”
No. That would be a tour guide.
Those that listen to Rush and take his words as gospel can’t see anything outside of Rush’s supposed idiotic view of the world.
“I could live in any middle eastern country where its OK to do anything you want, except be civil, but I might get shot for saying that.”
You obviously either have a minuscule view of the world or you’ve a small mind …or both.
April 14th, 2010 at 6:43 am
Hey, it seems to me that the only ones who get the picture about a communist country are people like Rush. I’ve been there and it’s not pretty. But wait, we are taking that path…you, Obama lovers, will experience first hand how is it like to have to keep your comments @ home. not even!!!
April 14th, 2010 at 6:49 am
I will recommend George Orwell’s 1984. Also read “Animal Farm”.
April 14th, 2010 at 6:55 am
B. Arthur: you, sir, are so right!
April 14th, 2010 at 3:09 pm
I’m thinking a nice-sized cannon will suffice
April 15th, 2010 at 12:16 am
The picture is of a TREBUCHET, how does what someone says matter. Titanium doesn’t alloy with steel, you can coat steel with titanium oxide as with drill bits.
April 15th, 2010 at 12:35 pm
update best of cl plz and thank you
April 15th, 2010 at 4:36 pm
@mrcranky
rest your worries cranky.. even rush will be broke when obama is done with us. we ought to make the catapult huge and sling all the socialists out to some island somewhere where obama can become king and order his island to do what he wants that way us hard working conservatives who believe in the amercan dream can keep the few dollars we make and not have to pay for the liberals who sit on their ass all day to go to the doctor. Hey liberals you want health care? how bout get off your lazy ass and get a job and get your own health care plan instead of having your king drag the whole country down so that you can keep staying on your ass and still have health care. just a thought
April 20th, 2010 at 4:56 am
It is likely a democratic group of liberal invetors that would be interested in doing so. Rush has always stated what he feels is Truth, Justice and an American way of life. Although sometimes he will get caught up in rattling on and make statements that are far fetched it is only due to his passion for what he believes in !
Many people who are really passionate about what they believe in react this way and Obamas supporters always attempt to make them look absent minded and dork like when they stumble on thier words or speak out in haste. When a man or woman speaks from thier heart and speak thier mind they often will show to be having trouble getting thier words out or ramble. It is professionally trained and Promp[ted speakers such as Obama that are so smooth talking and practiced that are to be worried about as everyone will see but only honest people will attest that are Americas true troublesome problems.
I have said it for years and will continue to do so that Americans will find themselves in this very situation as long as we have liberals wanting paid not to work or compensated for thier short comings rather than praising those who work hard, are willing to invest in thier own futures and take the risks of doing so everyday. Why should our government support “Redistribution of Wealth” Who is a president to say that when sopmeone earns more than others that they need give it away ?
April 20th, 2010 at 3:28 pm
Rush never said he was leaving, which makes your comment nothing more than unfactual, and we get enough of the propaganda biased lies from congress and msnbc. Won’t be visiting Craiglist again anytime soon.
April 21st, 2010 at 8:19 am
“The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else.” I wish the liberals and the progressives would just leave this freedom loving nation. Go start your utopia in one of the gulags in Siberia or maybe take a non-union job in China. Socialism oppresses the people and glorifies government as the answer. “Power to the People”, not the government.
April 26th, 2010 at 7:13 pm
Funny. But not based upon fact. Rush said he was shopping for health care in a country where the government would not dictate your level of care or make decisions for you based upon use of the system or costs as the current health care bill does. BUT…how many or our liberal friends left the country as promised if former President Bush Jr. was elected the first time…and the second? If you’ll use it for them, I’ll build it. DUH. So now whose the dummy?
April 27th, 2010 at 1:54 pm
check out Regurge.net for all you need to know about Republitards complaining about shit they were already doing, idiot racist tea party losers, and the horses that brung them.
May 9th, 2010 at 8:09 am
And that’s why Rush is making millions, MILLIONS people! Millions because people are so EASILY brainwashed. Oh he has a right to say anything, yes he does, doesn’t make him a hero. I say send him to Afghanistan. My brother, my father, and his father all served in wars, in my fathers time Rush would have been called a trader to our country. Now people love him and follow him, you know like they followed people like, Jim Baker, David Koresh, Hitler, oh and JIM JONES! So whatever follow him, drink the cool aid he offers you.
May 9th, 2010 at 8:24 am
The second thing I wanted to mention was this, what makes everyone think this is socialism? They are not TAKING OVER insurance companies. They are WATCHING over them, trying to make it so we can ALL get health care. The insurance companies have been sticking it to us for years now and I can NOT believe that doesn’t piss people off. I sure does me! I have no insurance, I can not afford $400 per month premiums. And that’s just for hospital coverage with a $10,000 deductable. Why aren’t more people mad about that? And second, what IF there was no government to help us, to watch over everyone? Should we go back and forget about USDA meat? Yeah let’s throw the government out and forget about the FDA, the EPA, how about all the laws that were passed to protect people. You all forget without the government to jump in and protect us you don’t even get the constitution for Rush Limbaugh to have the RIGHTS to say what he wants. You want the right to bare arms, oh sorry don’t get that either. We can eat comtaminated meat, the big industries can pollute the air all they want, along with the water we drink, and t0o hell with the constitution, and the laws. YEP I can understand why you wouldn’t want the government involved in your lives. Idiots.
August 21st, 2010 at 11:27 am
Doesn’t this violate the craigslist ban on weapons?
Rush often uses satire to make a point.
