Rush Limbaugh Calls Obama Voters Savages

Rush Limbaugh Calls Obama Voters Savages

Rush Limbaugh officially kicked off his 2012 election campaign of President Barack Obama bashing by calling Obama supporters vile, savages and walking debris. This was in response to the President speech to the nation on the 2012 budget.

Republicans were outraged over the fact that President Obama illustrated the difference in approach to addressing the nation’s budget issues by drawing a contrast between his approach and theirs. What is so interesting is that the Republican position was already written in black and white in the form of Congressman Paul Ryan’s budget plan.

Ryan’s budget plan laid it all out and was passed by the House of Representatives on April 15, 2011. Ryan’s budget proposes to end Medicare as we know it and distribute it out as vouchers that do not guarantee full cost coverage for medical care if private insurance costs increase. Another part of the Republican plan was to maintain the Bush tax breaks for the rich while slashing Medical coverage for seniors.

What President Obama pointed out was a system that hammered on the poor and elderly while allowing the rich to become richer was unfair and painted a pessimistic view of America. Republicans were outraged that their actual written plans for the United States was presented to the American public as a plan that favored the wealthy over the old, poor and sick. Well.

Now there seem to be hurt feelings that the President pledged to protect older Americans from potential lack of health coverage due to escalating private health insurance costs versus the Medicare guarantee that is in place now.

There is a line of thought that says to the Republicans that in order for them to avoid being publically called Scrooge then don’t put his mask on and wear it around town. Now Limbaugh goes into the gutter to express his view, but Limbaugh is not elected to any office and only plays to an audience that shares his views. The Republicans on the other hand should represent everyone in the districts and states, not just the rich that contribute to their campaigns.

Sarah Palin’s Parents Said They Sleep With Guns After Death Threats

 Sarah Palin

Sarah Palin’s parents said in an interview that after receiving death threats, they now sleep with guns at their side. Palin’s father Chuck Heath related the story to a BBC reporter in an interview.

An article titled “Sarah Palin's Father: 'We Sleep With Guns'” published in the Huffington Post February 7, 2011 goes into the details. It seems that the negative emotions generated his daughter, former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin has also landed on her parents. Is this what it is like to be in the same orbit as Sarah Palin.

It seems that the shooting in Tucson that left several people killed or injured ratcheted up the threats and Sarah Palin’s response in which she invoked the term blood libel made matters worse. It is not unusual for public figures to draw attention that is negative, but to have it spill over to parents so strongly seems to be an indication that negative feelings caused by Sarah Palin are extremely strong.

It is hard to remember that outside of Alaska not much was known of Sarah Palin before John McCain literally grabbed her out of nowhere and made her his running mate for the 2008 Presidential campaign. In reality the rest of the United States and her parents may have known more peace if she had remained unknown and stayed in Alaska.

Parents should not have to suffer for the actions of their children, but the toxic environment Sarah Palin helped to create is now coming back on her and those closest to her.
