When Larry Wilmore has had enough of some right-wing swill that goes over the top like this crazyass crap from Rush Limbaugh, he brings out his own personal little quip about it, “STOP IT! JUST STOP IT!”
On September 29th Rush Limbaugh doubled down on what he said the day before but when he found Media Matters had posted the transcript and the video from Limbaugh’s own website he claimed his remarks were taken out of context and to prove it said “Obama has turned NASA over to Muslim outreach.”
I have been reading that the precipitous and lengthy fall of the Republican brand can be put at the feet of Fox News which took all the hateful name calling fear mongering ignorant right-wing swill that blasts 24/7 from talk radio and put it 24/7 front and center on cable TV for all to see. Favorable rating for the GOP is now at the lowest point in it’s history at 32%. Down 10 points just since the primaries began. This also translates into 2016 generic election polls numbers with Democrats beating Republicans by 16 points.
Transcript from Rush Limbaugh Program Sept 28th 2015
RUSH LIMBAUGH: There’s so much fraud. Snerdly came in today ‘what’s this NASA news, this NASA news is all exciting.’ I said yeah they found flowing water up there. ‘No kidding! Wow! Wow!’ Snerdly said ‘flowing water!?’ I said ‘why does that excite you? What, are you going there next week? What’s the big deal about flowing water on Mars?’ ‘I don’t know man but it’s just it’s just wow!’ I said ‘you know what, when they start selling iPhones on Mars, that’s when it’ll matter to me.’ I said ‘what do you think they’re gonna do with this news?’ I said ‘look at the temperature data, that has been reported by NASA, has been made up, it’s fraudulent for however many years, there isn’t any warming, there hasn’t been for 18.5 years. And yet, they’re lying about it. They’re just making up the amount of ice in the North and South Poles, they’re making up the temperatures, they’re lying and making up false charts and so forth. So what’s to stop them from making up something that happened on Mars that will help advance their left-wing agenda on this planet?’ And Snerdly paused ‘oh oh yeah you’re right.’ You know, when I play golf with excellent golfers, I ask them ‘does it ever get boring playing well? Does it ever get boring hitting shot after shot where you want to hit it?’ And they all look at me and smile and say ‘never.’ Well folks, it never gets boring being right either. Like I am. But it doesn’t mean it is any less frustrating. Being right and being alone is a challenging existence. OK so there’s flowing water on Mars. Yip yip yip yahoo. You know me, I’m science 101, big time guy, tech advance it, you know it, I’m all in. But, NASA has been corrupted by the current regime. I want to find out what they’re going to tell us. OK, flowing water on Mars. If we’re even to believe that, what are they going to tell us that means? That’s what I’m going to wait for. Because I guarantee, let’s just wait and see, this is September 28, let’s just wait and see. Don’t know how long it’s going to take, but this news that there is flowing water on Mars is somehow going to find its way into a technique to advance the leftist agenda. I don’t know what it is, I would assume it would be something to do with global warming and you can — maybe there was once an advanced civilization. If they say they found flowing water, next they’re going to find a graveyard.
Here is the video also from Limbaugh’s website:
