There can be no greater sign of just how afraid of Elizabeth Warren the right truly is than Rush Limbaugh’s rant against Warren on his radio show today.


Limbaugh said, “How many people does it take? The taxes of how many people does it take to pay Elizabeth Warren? The tuition of how many students to pay Elizabeth Warren. I’d like to know how many pensions she has. At Harvard, Rutgers, time at the White House, time at TARP with Dingy Harry. If she’s elected to the Senate, how many pensions is this woman? Social Security, we pay a lot of money to Ms. Warren. She’s a parasite. She’s a parasite who hates her host. Willing to destroy the host while she sucks the life out of it. Roads, bridges, firefighters and policemen, nobody got rich because everybody has to use them and we all pay for that. Well who built the trucks? Who laid the concrete and the asphalt, as though government does all of this.”

Limbaugh then retold the story of The Little Red Hen, and said that somebody needs to read it to Warren. Later Limbaugh closed by driving home his message that Warren is as un-American as Obama, “I cannot emphasize this enough, that this exactly the way Obama views this country in the rest of the world. This is the thinking behind Mao Zedong’s Cultural Revolution.”

Limbaugh’s attack on Warren proved just how frightened of her they really are. All it took was the release of one poll showing her leading Scott Brown to send them into full panic mode. What’s scares people like Limbaugh isn’t Warren herself, but her message. Elizabeth Warren has a resume that is chocked full of evidence of her concern for regular Americans and her tireless advocacy for consumer protection against deceptive financial products.

Rush Limbaugh’s attack on Warren implies that everyone who isn’t rich is a parasite on the economy. His message is that the other 98% of Americans exist only because of the efforts of the top 2%. Warren’s advocacy seems to be the kind of return on their investment that many Americans want. In this time of economic sorrow and despair, Warren’s message that the government should be working for most Americans instead of against them is a powerful one.

Elizabeth Warren is refuting the conservative message of selfishness, and elitist “job creators.” The Republican Party is so frightened by Elizabeth Warren that they have deployed Rush Limbaugh to take her down.

No one but an "intellectual" like Elizabeth Warren could ever believe such a load of crap. Here entire tirade is 180 degrees out of phase. I have news for you and Betty. Businesses existed long before towns, cities and roads. Factories pay their own way in taxes, fees and employment. Socialism does not.



Self interest is not selfishness. Selfishness is John Kerry registering his yacht in a neighboring State to avoid taxes. Selfishness is George Soros looting businesses and destroying currencies with his hedge fund. Selfishness isn't providing goods and services people want and need at fair market prices for a profit.



Live it, learn it, love it. It is the businessman, the entrepreneur the, risk taker, the venture capitalist, the quest for profit that has provided the very computer you are sitting at asking your questions. Everything you have, eat, drink, wear, use etc. you have because someone put out the effort and took the risk to start the businesses that make or otherwise provide the things you need.



Government has no such ability. Government has no wealth. Every dime they squander they must first loot from someone who creates wealth.

Rush is a big government neo-con that is a full fledged believer in keynesianism, while he doesn't ever mention that on his show, because he know that is a form of a socialism!
