QuoteWhat have I told you about diet and exercise? Exercise is irrelevant.... "How do you know all this?" One of the reasons I know what I know is that I know liberals, and I know liberals lie, and if Michelle Obama's gonna be out there ripping into "food desserts" and saying, "This is why people are fat," I know it's not true. "Rush, do you really believe that? It's that simple to you, liberals lie?" Yes, it is, folks. Once you learn that, once you come to grips with that, once you accept that, the rest is easy. Very, very simple. Now, my doctor has never told me to restrict any intake of salt, but if he did, I wouldn't. I'd just spend more time in the steam or the sauna sweating it out.
Wow. Just wow.
Dude is batshit.
Well, if the only thing you care about is making the number on the scale go down, then yeah, all that matters is that you eat fewer calories than your metabolism requires.
Yeah, it's quite a stretch to get from there to "nutrition and exercise don't matter". :lulz:

This followed the bit from the caller saying that exercise is meaningless in regards to weight loss.
QuoteRUSH: I can't tell you how many people... No, David, I'm serious. I can't tell you how many people I know who do exercise a lot who tell me the reason they do it is so they can eat a lot, they love to eat and so they exercise to accommodate for how much they're eating.
CALLER: That's funny because we see a lot of people that acquiesce to that, and in my opinion they're just fat active people. Okay? I'll do you one better than that: There's no such thing as cardiovascular exercise.
RUSH: Oh, now, that's controversial. That's gonna light some fires out there.
CALLER: (laughing)
RUSH: There's no such thing!
CALLER: If you look at it, don't you seek the truth in economics and philosophy?
RUSH: I do.
CALLER: Well?
RUSH: I do, but cardiovascular exercise is one of these unmitigated truths. I mean, it's just accepted.
And don't forget this:
QuoteRUSH: How many of you happened to see either the actual live coverage of the New York City marathon yesterday or maybe some highlights of it later on? Did you see it? Look at the people who ran in the New York City marathon. Most of them looked like death eating a cracker. I thought I'm looking at cadavers eating crackers, and I just know that that's not for me.
Well, you know, it's all fun n games till someone has an infarc...
I am begining to believe that he is not only still on the drugs, but now he's just fucking with us.
Well, yeah. And he's laughing all the way to the bank.
Couldn't think of a better guy to die of a massive myocardial infarction.
Yes Rush, yes! Working out makes you ugly!

Yeah. I think it could go a lot further. According to his logic, liberals always lie, therefore we should always do the opposite of whatever health or safety advice any liberal gives us. I'm sure we can find other examples of a liberal giving health and safety advice that we could forward to him.
Swedish made Husqvarna chainsaws have a warning, "Do not attempt to stop chain with hands or genitals", and Swedes are so liberal that they have the highest ratio of social spending to GDP in the world, so you know that warning is a lie. It's probably better than Viagra.

Someone should explain to
Rush, uh,
America, uh
people that reversed (percieved) stupidity is not intelligence.
You can pretty much see the thoughts forming in a person's head when this kind of thing goes down
X group is made of stupid people. I know this because they have Wrong Values.
X group advocates Y.
Y is therefore stupid.
This kind of argument generally leads to people arguing Hitler Ate Sugar (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/HitlerAteSugar) and then Mike Godwin cries himself to sleep.
Of course, Rush is right that exercise isn't required. But it also isn't
required for the human body to live past the age of 45.
Someone needs to force him into a corner on this "everything a liberal says is a lie" thing. Force him to say brown people are bad/inferior, that Reconstruction was wrong because it "ruined" the South (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunning_School), etc. One anonymous caller could potentially destroy his career.

It's been done. No effect.
Rush Limbaugh could wipe his ass with the American flag, and the dittoheads would point out that it was designed by liberals anyhow.

You mean the "Rush Limbaugh is a Big Fat Liar" thing? And "Lying Liars and the Lies They Tell"? BTDT, it has.

For my side of it? Check Youtube (I can't from this computer). He's been busted out many times. It's always edited out from the archives, but the pranksters tape it and post it.
Youtube + my shitty laptop = no go, but I did bit of looking around and there goes an idle hope. :argh!:

You're in for years of bitter disappointment, I think.
You seem to be laboring under the delusion that Rush is tricking his audience. He's not. He's pandering to what they already believe.
Force him into admitting racism, for example, and his followers won't feel shocked, they'll feel
vindicated.It's not one or two asshats leading the blind and stupid, Hovercat.
Probably. Though I was aware of the pandering. I was hoping that the Republican party itself (the people in charge of the party, not the constituents) would back away from him if he was, verbatim, caught calling brown people inferior.

Why? Have you seen any conservative forums, recently? Seen any teabagger signs?
The GOP has never blushed about anything, so a little racism won't stop them.
I live with a Tea Bagger (he's a "Libertarian" now that it's popular), so I'm aware of the base's tendencies. And I was going to say something about the party needing moderates (who would be put off by racism), but now that I think about it, I'm waaay off. Once upon a time, maybe I would have been right, but the GOP has no need for moderates and has chased them off.

They started doing that in 2003, and finished the job in 2006-2008.
