ABC news blogger Jake Tapper was really put off by Limbaugh calling B Hussein Obama "a jackass"

Limbaugh Calls President Obama a 'Jackass' - Political Punch





Derision of the president on his program is nothing new, but Rush Limbaugh’s tone today may have struck the ears of regular listeners as particularly disdainful, taking his contempt of the president to a new level.


The nation’s preeminent conservative talk radio host referred to Mr. Obama as a “jackass,” an “economic illiterate” and an “idiot, where capitalism is concerned.”


The rough stuff came during a monologue on the president’s position on extending the Bush tax cuts to all but the top two percent of wage earners.


Obama, Limbaugh says, is an "economic ignoramus" for not understanding how a "tax increase" on the wealthy won't stimulate growth.


Quoting an AP article from yesterday, Limbaugh pointed out Obama’s remarks at a meeting of his Economic Recovery Advisory Board that the wealthy would “take our ball and go home” if their tax cuts aren’t extended.


Limbaugh then addressed the following line to the president directly:


“Mr. Obama, our imam-child, they have already taken their trillion dollar ball home, and they’re sitting on it, you jackass.”...


..."Extend the tax cut to everybody, and you'll inspire confidence," Limbaugh argued, saying that added degree of certainty would free business to spend some of the capital they’re holding onto and hire people, “which, once upon a time, we were told, was Obama’s top priority.”


For not getting this, "He's a jackass. He's an economic illiterate. He's an economic ignoramus.”

“And that's being charitable,” Limbaugh said.

Hey Jake, you get upset when people were call George Bush a murderer and do I see you posting a criticism of Democrats and their assault of Christine O'Donnell for witchcraft....oh, that's right, you're an "objective journalist"...

But I gotta agree with Joy when she jumped on Rush for this comment:

RUSH: ...Joy in Tampa, great to have you on the EIB Network. Hi.

CALLER: Thanks, Rush. Thanks for taking my call.


RUSH: You bet.


CALLER: I just was calling to... My husband and I are real faithful listeners, and we think you're great but today we got upset when you called Obama a "jackass." We feel that you insulted the jackass.


RUSH: (chuckling)


CALLER: He's been a very trustworthy and hardworking animal.


RUSH: Yeah. They do. I mean you're right, they carry a big burden.


CALLER: And they probably have a higher IQ.


RUSH: (big sigh) You got me. I have to degree. It was an insult to jackasses...

 Yes Rush it was an insult to the jackasses, but at least you admitted you mistake.
