Rush Limbaugh Compares Obama To Hitler (AUDIO)

Rush Limbaugh compared President Obama to Hitler on his Thursday radio show.

Limbaugh was in the middle of lambasting Obama for his speech on Afghanistan, in which the President announced he will withdraw 33,000 troops from the country by the summer of 2012.

"What better way to fire up the Democrat base than to announce you intend to lose the war in Afghanistan?" he said. "What do General Petraeus and Gates, the Defense Secretary, what do they know? ... you know, Hitler's generals tried to argue with him too."

Limbaugh has compared Obama to Hitler before. In 2009, he said, "Adolf Hitler, like Barack Obama, ruled by dictate."

Rush Limbaugh and Mark Halperin are the same phenomenon. They are the mental midgets of their respective families. So they try to be important by criticizing others in outrageous ways. This seeking of publicity is their way of trying to compensate for the fact that their uncles and fathers are so much smarter and better educated than they are. Now it is true that Mark actually graduated Harvard and Rush simply flunked out of his first year at a pretty mediocre Southern Missouri state school. But do you think that Mark would have gotten in if he weren't a legacy?

Rush Limbaugh = mental midget, which equals irrelevant.

The difference between Rush Limbaugh and normal people? The diarrhea comes out of the other end.

Uh, Rush, you are just annoying now...and comic relief for those more stressful days. You need some new material.

Are you kidding me guys? Obama and Hitler are basically the same people! I mean, who would have got along better with the 3rd Reich, than a half black (secret Muslim!). And we all know how well the Nazi's got along with the Communists (like Obama) in the Soviet Union.

Lame. Limbaugh will call anybody anything he wants, with no thought of consequence. But if anybody says something about HIM, the world needs to stop. I can't stand the entitlement this guy feels he has.

Hey look, if we would all be quiet and not talk about him, he will go away. No, really. Every so often he will pull out the AH-bomb and all media and blogs goes nuts. SSSSHHHHH. Just ignore him and he will go away, I promise!

The right is starting to see what they have to offer as an alternative to Obama and they are running scared.

Republicans are incapable of offering a positive alternative to Obama, because race trumps everything with them. They are throwing everything at the wall to see what sticks. The only popular candidates in the Republican Party are the ones who hate the President and will prove it by attacking him to no end. Sarah Palin and Donald Trump would never be considered Presidential material under ordinary circumstances, yet their public stupidity and hate trumped (no pun intended) all other qualities and abilities usually associated with serious Presidential contenders. In other words, Republicans just want to beat Obama by any means necessary. Who ever can do it makes no difference to them. At this point it could be John Wayne Gacy.

A note to Rush. If Obama was Hitler, you wouldn't be alive to be criticising him. That's the difference. Hitler was responsible for the deaths of around 60 million people. Of those people, around 10 million might have been by execution. Obama of course has executed only 1 person - Ossama Bin Laden.

As to losing in Afghanistan - that is the fault of the incompetent running of the military campaign by the former Republican Government. They moved their resources into Iraq based on lies, and allowd the insurgency in Afghanistan to develop and get out of control.

OMG, he has lost it! It is one thing to disagree with another persons politics but to compare Obama to Hitler is an insult to humanity. Mr. Obama should demand an immediate apology and Mr. Limbaugh should be taken off the air pronto.

That would be censorship. The man is an idiot and a liar but he still has every right to publicly humilate himself and look like a huge dbag on air.
