“It was just a sight to behold. Here you have some of the most important people in the world going nuts over this brain-fried, maggot-infested, dope-smoking, long-haired, purple-finger nailed, multi-colored hair, FM type, who has to be laughing all the way back to California. I’m sure it’s the same way Bono is laughing after convincing official world leaders he has something to offer to the Third World debt crisis.”
Yes, that’s America’s Uncle They Pretend Not To Have, Rush Limbaugh, on Ozzy Osbourne’s recent trip to the White House. Bono’s been one of his favorite targets of late. Mind you, we *could* wax philosophic on just why, exactly, we’re expected to validate the opinions of a cranky, monomaniacal, quasi-shockjock with a license to ill while discounting those of a man who’s done years of research into the issue of Third World debt… but that would be simply petty. And U2log is decidedly above such concerns.
Hey, go easy on Rush Limbaugh! He really does have very good points, and so what if he makes fun of Bono once in a while? Laugh it off. I happen to enjoy his accurate description of Ozzy.

Rush Limbaugh is an embarrasment to the people of America… His rantings against anything different than his neo-nazi world view are sickening, petty, and in the same category as Pat Robertson and Jerry Faldwell who blamed 9/11 on “God’s hatred of gays”… Now, he’s going after one of the only musicians in the world who strives to make a difference and is truly aware of the issues he addresses, and it makes me REALLLY ANGRY!!! He has the right in America to express is little veiws, but so do I, so if I saw him I would tell him what he could go do with his fat, egotistical, lazy ass, and to learn something about Bono before he talked, he might make himself look like less of an ass… And by the way, if Rush sees this, piss off!!! Thanks for letting me rant!!!

Rush Limbaugh is a big fat idiot 😉

Ditto on the negative comments.

Yeah, I wonder what Mr Limburger’s stance is on Third World Debt and AIDS.
Side note: I guess Rush had a little problem with his hearing a couple of months back. Doctors were supposedly able to save his hearing but personally I think the man was deaf, dumb, and blind long ago…No surgery could ever fix that…

Ahh… the sound of discontent. Often the truth is met with resistance & I think Rush is right about Oz & to some extent the B-man. Perhaps it’s more of a disturbing reflection of US govt that a rocknroll star can get access to & influence the highest office in the land based on his stardom rather than his knowledge. I mean come on, do you really think Bono would have that kind of access if he weren’t a star first & foremost?

Yes, GOD FORBID any U2 fan thinks for himself and finds himself agreeing with Mr. Limbaugh more often than not. Bono says Reagan’s administration was bad? Well, then, it MUST be so. I for one think Rush is jumping the gun this time, but I also understand why he’s doing so: the VAST majority of celebrities with pet causes are idiots and hypocrits.

Oh, and by the way, tens of millions of Americans trust their “unwanted uncle” far more than Europe’s pseudo-intellectuals, and for VERY GOOD REASON. Rush actually recognizes that socialism actually failed and that suicide bombings are actually reprehensible. And you want proof that conservatism is a legitimate belief system? Look at the elections of 1980, ’84, ’88, ’96 (yes, Clinton’s second term), and 2000. Conservative ideals put presidential candidates into the White House.

Finally, note how QUICKLY the open-minded, caring leftists who read this launched into name-calling and personal attacks: “neo-nazi worldview”, “big fat idiot”, etc. The LEAST they could do is know what they’re talking about (the neo-nazi comment is absurd) and avoid ripping off Al Franken.

Lighten up! You people who don’t regularly listen just don’t get it. It’s like a style of comedy. Rush is not Paul Harvey or Peter Jennings, he’s more like Seinfeld. Most people are busting out laughing at his rant because he says himself he’s a “harmless little fuzzball” who is merely getting folks thinking about why– in this case– our elected officials are so eager to be photographed with Bono. Bush may have partied to “Crazy Train”, but I doubt he’s consulting Ozzy on anything. Rush is getting everyone’s brains asking by posing it in a humorous way. Look at what he says, like, “FM types”, man that’s hillarious! He probably owns every U2 CD. He is pointing out to Bush watchers and Bono fans that it’s not just Bono who benefits from the photo op or it would have been a closed door meeting. Proof is in the pudding with the $5 BILLION with a B that Bush ponied up after that meeting… Rush and Bush and Bono and Ozzy on the golf course is the one I want to see!!

Oddly, now that Rush has lost all those pounds, I now outweigh Rush… who’da thunk it?! I hope he doesn’t write “AL FRANKEN IS A SLIGHTLY OVERWEIGHT HAS-BEEN”. But then, Rush isn’t that mean-spirited… he’s a conservative.

I love RUSH!! Their new album rocks!! Huh? What….oh, Rush Limbaugh….oh yeah, I don’t care for him.

It’s nice to see that I’m not the only conservative that can appreciate U2’s passion for the world. I don’t agree with Rush all the time, and I don’t agree with Bono all the time. I suppose I like to think for myself instead of blindly following a person or dogma.

I have listened to him before, but was offened and didn’t turn it back… Every time I hear about him now, he’s jabbing words into something I believe in, and that just pisses me off… He might be right about some things (Ozzy), but he can kiss my ass when it comes to Bono… I’m sick of people attacking someone for trying to help that’s really why I ranted… Do you guys really think it is wrong to use whatever position you have to help??? And when it come to world debt anyway, Bono knows what he is talking about, does Rush???

I’m with you, fightin’whitey, I bet no one with negative comments on this board ever listened to Rush Limbaugh. Anyway, in my opinion, Rush has a great show, and he tells it hows he sees it, right or wrong. That’s what is great about America, right? People can voice their opinions and let invididuals decide for themselves whether they want to listen or not. Geez, I can think of hundreds of talk show hosts and other popular personalities that I cannnot stand to listen to, the slimebags, bleedingheart liberals . . . so I don’t listen anymore. And I don’t target them by name. I’m just putting in a good word for Rush, and letting people know that not everyone in America thinks of him as the “Uncle They Pretend Not To Have.”

I’ve come to realize lately that some people are more serious and sensitive than others…and that’s OK. I saw another celeb go for another cause today actually WHEEPING about it openly. I don’t know if Julia Roberts was crying because of the tension and all-glaring-eye of the media or crying because she was desperately pitying the children. Probably both…at least one of the two :o)

Glad to see Rush defended by actual U2 fans. I think he’s jumping the gun, but it’s because he is trying to entertain. To call him a shock jock is foolish, however, since you’re not going to get anything shocking out of him, just his view. We’re not talking about Le Pen here. Look. Bono is doing. I love that. But Ozzy–even though I love the show–shouldn’t be treated the way he is. Also, I like that the only way the left attacks is by name-calling. Keep it up. And I love how people preaching tolerance demand it for everyone except the people who disagree with them.

I wonder how Rush pronounces B-man’s name when hammering him on the air: Does he pronounce it correctly or like “Sonny Bono” (Boe-noe) ??
