ERROR, hypocritical, Dec. 06^th, 12:13 p.m., R. L. warned that high gas prices would affect economy during the Christmas season

Our response: while we at E.I.C. are pleased with Rush finally grasping this concept, we feel compelled to point that Rush Limbaugh used gasoline prices being high as a reason for his feeling good during a sign-on monolog ca. 2007 or earlier. Date and time are lost; they were recorded in our first series of Rush Limbaugh errors that Microsoft’s Windows successful lost for us. One person on our staff made the mistake of inquiring if Rush was off his rocker on this only to have his head taken off by the person inquired of - whose family operated several gas stations.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ERRORS, factual and analytical, Dec. 07^th, R.L. said (1:20 p.m.) that if you think that things are bad, they’ll always be bad; (1:21 p.m.) he was not proud of Americans being paid for three years for not working; (1:22 p.m.) Reagan got his tax cuts through a Democratic House and a Democratic Senate.

Our response: The reason why people are unemployed for so long is because of the massive number of traditional “blue collar” jobs and now “white collar” sent overseas during the regimes of the Junior Idiot (Bush 43) and the Horny Hound Dog of Hot Springs. We at E.I.C. will think that things are bad until those jobs sent overseas are brought back or are replaced with new jobs offering comparable pay.

This is odd, the Rush Limbaugh who thinks that Reagan won a 49 state sweep in 1980 (documented by us several times, apparently he can’t grasp the difference between the 1980 and the 1984 elections) fails to remember the R takeover of the Senate in 1980. The problem was that the D’s controlled the House, which raises the revenue. The great Reagan got some tax cuts but none of the spending cuts that he wanted.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ERRORS, factual and analytical, Dec. 08^th

            1:09 p.m., error factual, R.L. suggested pensions for the unemployed mimicking what they would get in the employed world

            1:41 p.m., error factual, perhaps quoting the Anointed One, R.L. referred several times to “negotiating with hostages.”

            1:45 p.m., error analytical, R.L. said that most of the wealthy earned their wealth.

Our responses: perhaps we have been in the wrong industries, but our experience has been that only non-profit organizations offer pensions these days, the for-profits only allow you to risk your future by owning their stock.

Negotiating with hostages!? We think R.L. meant to say “negotiate with hostage-TAKERS,” hostages aren’t usually available for negotiating, although they may communicate demands.

Most of the wealthy earned their wealth? If we are we including the drug lords and other criminals, yes, unless we have seen present-generation Rockefellers, Fords and Kennedys laboring at convenience stores as their earn their wealth.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dec. 10^th, 11:15 a.m., error analytical, the Anointed One was a Keynesian

Our response:  the celebrated quote “We are all Keynesians now,” by Richard Nixon.

 Error factual, 01:12 p.m. did not know of any other president who received the “F-word”

Our response: Richard Nixon did, in part because of the Vietnam War and later because of Watergate. We are not positive if L.B.J. did as well, however Theodore White said that L.B.J. was the first president to receive such unprecedented scorn and disrespect.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Error factual, Dec. 14^th, ca. 11:40 a.m., R.L. asked if it ever got that cold (32º last night)? He said “no.”

Our response: one of our staff is proud to have been a resident of Palm Beach County in the 1968-72 time period, and recalls one particular cold winter at which time ice was seen. We believe it was the winter of 1968-69 when at such time said person learned how to light that gas heater mounted on a wall – and that didn’t have a “blower.” We were also surprised that photographs of ice actually made it to the front page of the local newspaper, something historically squashed by Florida state tourism department.

Error, analytical, Dec. 14^th at 1:09 p.m., comments on a Professor Epstein practicing incest with his daughter

Our response: such was freely promoted at Hillsdale College in the 1990’s; at least as far as the head man goes. He had a sexual relationship of many years with his son’s wife, which we believe would still be considered incest – in addition to being adultery.

Rush Limbaugh Errors for September, 2010 All times are CENTRAL unless noted Error, analytical, Sept. 08th, 12:38 p.m. - tax policies that are killing jobs. 12:40 p.m. - people not having jobs.

My response: Rush Limbaugh is referring to those few jobs not sent overseas wholesale by his pal the Junior Idiot (Bush 43) and predecessor, the Horny Hound Dog of Hot Springs. Another way to reduce unemployment would be to bring those jobs back.

--------------------------------------------------------------------- Error, analytical, Sept. 22nd, 12:21 p.m., commenting on some federal proposal for “Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders,” R.L. didn’t know what a Pacific Islander American was, suggested a Samoan

My response: yes, and also Hawaiians, Midway, Wake, Guam, and those of Filipino ancestry would immediately come to mind.

Error, transcriptional misstatement, 12:44 p.m., R.L. referred to us having “the most expensive education system in the country” and then talked about us vs. the rest of the world.

Error analytical, 12:59 p.m., in follow up to a caller’s question, R.L. remarked that all economic downturns used to be called depressions but moved away from that.

My response: the depressions of the past that I’m familiar with were all preceded by “Panics” where investors lost their money and hence are rightfully called “depressions” not “recessions.”

---------------------------------------------------------------------- Error, analytical, Sept. 23rd, 12:17 p.m., in response to a poll, R.L. asked how many of his audience had given up on the American dream or had hopes for the future. He later answered himself with his usual “American exceptionalism is not be expounded” crapola.

My response: I saw warnings that my future was going away in February, 1992, during the final months of the misrule of the Senior Idiot (a.k.a., Ol’ Bold n’ Decisive, a.k.a. Bush 41). This started to come to fruition under his successor, the Horny Hound Dog o’ Hot springs, and the situation grossly worsened under his economically incompetent successor, the Junior Idiot (Bush 43). As it now stands, if you make too much money - the cheapskates “suits” and C.P.A.’s will send your job overseas while piously intoning “the global economy.”

Rush Limbaugh’s usual response to what I have just said is to be self employed. Well, lessee, if I inherited Daddy’s multi-media publishing empire like Sonny-Boy Forbes did, I would strongly agree. But for most of us being self-employed would be hawking fruits and vegetables or embroidery from a card table along the side of a road.

ERROR, FACTUAL, 1:36 p.m., 10% unemployment due to Obama and the Democrats

My response: This IS scary! My friends who lost their jobs while the Junior Idiot (Bush 43) was still in office lost them because of Obama? Has the Left mastered time travel and hence is able to do their damage even before they take office? Wait a minute! John Kerry was sent on a secret mission by Richard Nixon before Nixon assumed the presidency, so mebbe they have. Part of the assignment must have been for Kerry to travel back in time to before Nixon assumed office, thereby giving his administration plausible deniability. Yeow.

----------------------------------------------------------------------Dangerous analytical error, Sept. 28th, 11:15 a.m., opening monolog, Rush Limbaugh referred to certain wealthy people as being idiots for giving away their wealth

My response: I have read in a certain Book about Someone Who commanded the wealthy to sell all that they had and give to the poor. Does Rush Limbaugh have a similar opinion of this Person?

------------------------------------------------------------------- Error, presumably misspoke, Sept. 29th at 11:09 a.m. when Rush Limbaugh referred to a “paperback virgin,” and then continued talking about a book.

Error, analytical, 11:17 a.m., Rush Limbaugh asked rhetorically, “What’s wrong with being Gay?”

My response: only that business in Revelation 21:8 saying that it will result in “the Second Death,” this being mentioned in the PC(USA)’s current and soon to change version of the Heidelberg Catechism in their Book of Confessions.

Error, presumably misspoke, 1;12 p.m., Rush Limbaugh referred to “Hillary Rodham Rodham”

---------------------------------------------------------------------- Error, analytical, Sept. 30th, 11:39 a.m., Rush Limbaugh praised “burger flippers” as an occupation My response: Uh, yeah, this is not an occupation that you can go through life on unless you rise to management or ownership. Think of the obvious, in order to keep prices low, costs have to be kept low, and what does that mean, pay wise? Traditionally McDonald’s was an employer of high schoolers/young adults, then in more recently the retired were added to their ranks. But thanks to the Junior Idiot (Bush 43) sending our unskilled and then our skilled jobs / high tech jobs overseas, people are desperate for work and seizing whatever they can - which is why unemployment is so high among the younger set. So much for “doing jobs that Americans just won’t do.”

Rush Limbaugh Errors for July, 2010 All times are CENTRAL unless noted

ERROR, FACTUAL, July 06th, 11:15 - 11:30 a.m. during opening monolog, R.L. said regarding Michael Steele that he felt like Julius Caesar in the Coliseum making a thumbs up or down decision on the Christians and the lions. My response: WOW, how many factual errors can Rush Limbaugh make in one sentence? 1. Julius Caesar was dead, D-E-A-D, before the coliseum was built. The Coliseum was built as part of the peoples’ revolt against Nero (who was the last of the Julio-Claudian line of emperors), got its name from the then-destroyed colossus of Nero, and was built on the site of Nero’s former palace. 2. Julius Caesar was dead, D-E-A-D, before Christianity developed. Rush, reread Luke chapter 2! “In the days of Caesar Augustus…” Light bulb going on yet? 3. Thumbs up/thumbs down was used in gladiatorial fights to decide whether or not the loser should be allowed to live. In lions vs. Christians, the lions settled that themselves without a paws up/paws down vote.

ERROR, FACTUAL, July 06th, 12:26 - 12:28 p.m. during the Riverdale, N.Y. phone call, discussion over who did what, J.F.K. vs. L.B.J., error by misspeaking “J.F.K. finished off what L.B.J. started.” My response: HUH? Did J.F.K. return from Hell and resume his office? Also, to answer the caller’s question, yes, L.B.J. was a capitalist albeit a gangster capitalist in various businesses. Read A Texan Looks at Lyndon: A Study in Illegitimate Power by J. Evetts Haley for more information if you can get a hold of a copy. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

BLATANT HYPOCRISY, July 07th, 12:26 p.m., R.L. said “I correct (myself)…soon as I hear that it’s a mistake.” My response: Uh, right, don’t we wish that were true. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ERROR, FACTUAL and analytical, July13th, 01:51 p.m. when caller brought up Charlie Manson as a racist, R.L. said that he was not aware of anyone Black being in those houses (where the murders took place). My response: R.L. apparently does not know that “Helter Skelter” was an attempt to incite urban Blacks to rise up and kill the Whites. Since they were not doing it on their own, the Manson Family took it upon themselves to show them how it was done. “Helter Skelter” was written on the walls so that Blacks would recognize the code to start a race war. Charlie Manson’s belief was that after all the Whites were killed, the Blacks would realize that they could not keep society running and would look for surviving Whites to take control. The Mason Family, hiding in a desert nowhere, would return and would have control of the country handed to them. Sounds quite racist to me. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Error, factual by caller, July 14th, 1:24 p.m., caller referred to her father as being a “cracker” born in Palm Beach County in 1898. Caller also said her father drove cattle to Ft. Myers where it was shipped to Cuba, that’s where the term “cracker” originated.” My response: speaking as lovers of Florida history, we would point out that her father was born in a portion of DADE County that later became Palm Beach County (1909). The term “cracker” does indeed come from cracking the whips on the cattle drives, yes, but has been used for any native/resident of Georgia or Florida. Cattle drives to Kissimmee for shipment to the North is probably the best known of the Florida cattle drives. Cattle quality did not improve ‘til, say, World War II, combining a quality beef taste with an ability for the animal to survive in the climate, so it could be that Cuba was a better market than markets where cattle from other states competed. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

July 15th, Happy Hunting Ground for Rush Limbaugh errors! ERROR, FACTUAL, 11:14 a.m., Clinton’s tax policies led to economic downturn in 1994 (which the implication that everything was running fine since the great Reagan) My response: “It’s the economy, stupid!” was a 1992 slogan, not a 1994 one.

Error, analytical, 11:0 a.m., in response to the federals demanding that heath care companies provide certain tests for free, why not require that Apple provide free I-phones and gas stations free gas. My response: Rush Limbaugh is clearly out of touch with reality. They’re probably mandating this because they want preventative health care, not reactive health care, and catching things today may be cheaper than fixing things tomorrow. Also, companies like United Health Care are notoriously cheap in our experience when it comes to new ideas in testing and newly released generic drugs, they’ll drag their feet as long as possible to avoid coughing up the bucks while graciously allowing the consumer to buy generic drugs at name-brand pricing.

ERROR, FACTUAL and analytical, 11:21 a.m., most employer-paid health care programs already pay for testing. My response: Yeah, unless it’s United Health Care and you want to do a Vitamin D Deficiency Test. The patient gets to cough up the first $400, and they graciously pay a minor percentage of anything over $400. Yup, employer paid, plain and simple.

ERROR, FACTUAL and analytical, 11:28 a.m., Rush Limbaugh railed against obesity screening saying all that you needed was a mirror, etc. My response: That’s probably a reference to the relatively new concept of body mass testing, because the height, weight and age of the patient are not sufficient for a correct analysis.

ERROR, FACTUAL, 11:40 a.m., Rush Limbaugh claimed that Consumer Reports put a “do not buy” on the I-phone. My response: Really? Earlier the same week we heard a spokesman for Consumer Reports on Prairie Purgatory’s talk radio specifically point out that they did NOT say “do not buy” because they were really impressed and thrilled with the phone but wanted a minor fix. While they did refrain from endorsing at the present time, they would gladly endorse it once the fix was made.

Error, analytical, 11:41 a.m., Rush Limbaugh asked how close Chuck Schumer’s district is to Cupertino (CA), when the Chuckster weighed in on the I-Phone. My response: This is the same thing as “have you ever lived in (fill in the community name),” meaning that if you haven’t, you’re disqualified from commenting on it because you just couldn’t know…. But to respond, gee, maybe it has something to do with his constituents buying the product or somethin’ like that. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Error analytical July 19th, 01:17 p.m., R.L., on where have the jobs gone. My response: R.L. answered that himself when he suggested India in mockery of the experts. R.L.’s answer of “Car dealerships” is ridiculous, while they appropriate substantial amounts of consumers’ money they are not a substantial presence in the labor market. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

July 20th, 12:51 p.m., caller affirms that R.L. is right on unemployment ‘cause he’s in N.J. and he has clients who are having applicants turn down job offers ‘cause they can do better on unemployment. Caller said that in N.J. unemployment was $500. My response: if he’s correct on the dollar amount and it’s for the same time period, that’s significantly more than what we received on Michigan unemployment. In Michigan, if you don’t look for work, or if you turn down a job offer, you’re supposed to lose your unemployment benefits. Hopefully that’s true in N.J. as well. In the past, N.J. had a problem with “seasonal” workers taking unemployment during the winter months. That was supposedly “fixed” when they got tougher. But this could be a question of survivability. Cost of living jumps around in N.J. depending on where you live. In Metro N.Y.C. it won’t go as far as it does, say, in Cumberland County. Cost of living leads in to how cheap are your customers being with the pay? I’ve heard the same wail form those who hire illegal aliens. Can your employees live adequately on what you pay? We know of unskilled LAWFUL immigrants who were “chased” out of the Chicago area ‘cause 1) illegal aliens monopolized the unskilled jobs and 2) because of the omnipresent illegal aliens the pay for those jobs that they didn’t fill was grossly lowered. On the other hand, we have heard of former unionized “workers” refusing to take lower paying jobs because it was beneath what they were worth, or decline a project because they’re convinced a better one is about to come their way. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Error, analytical, July 28th,11:15 a.m. - talked about people not making commitments because they didn’t have jobs My response: I didn’t hear R.L. say anything about the number of jobs that exited the country during the misrule of his buddy, the Junior Idiot

Error, analytical 11:15 a.m. - nobody wants the G.M. electric car My response: I would like the electric car - after we have a major technological breakthrough in batteries, or find another way to extend the range. Failing to buy something because they just don’t have it right yet is not the same as rejecting the product

Error analytical, 11:21 a.m. - suggested pulling special tax concessions for buying the electric car and then to see how it sold. My response: I bought a hybrid used because I believed in the concept, not for the tax break. The problem with sales will be the price and vehicle’s range, and perhaps the ability to recharge upon arrival at destination. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Error, misstatement, July 30th, 11:10 a.m. – correcting something he had just said, said that he didn’t “say it on person” when from the syntax he apparently meant to say “on purpose”

ERROR, FACTUAL, 11:23 a.m. CAFÉ standards came from environmental wackos. My response: it came from the desire to cut oil consumption and by doing so reducing our dependence on oil imports.

All times are CENTRAL unless noted Error, analytical, June 03rd, 01:23 p.m. - “…who benefits from the oil spill..” (besides the Anointed One)?

My response: the first ones to benefit are the ones brought in to stop the leak. Gov. Crist and others who opposed off-shore drilling will also benefit.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Note: June 07th, 11:22 a.m., Dr. Walter Williams said something about the Lesser Roosevelt (F.D.R.) prolonging the Depression by SEVEN years with his policies.

My response: We welcome Dr. Williams’ correction of what R.L. said on May 21st at 11:25 a.m. during “The Phone Call”, when he stated that the Lesser Roosevelt had prolonged the Depression by 15 years. We pointed out that was preposterous even allowing for differences of opinion as to when the Depression ended. We should also point out that per Johnson in The Modern Age, Hoover was told that if he just took a hands-off approach and let everyone be liquidated, it would all be over in SIX MONTHS. Dr. Williams also said that F.D.R. was “Hoover on steroids,” and we welcome the comment, but would like to point out that F.D.R. ran against almost everything that Hoover was doing. Once installed in the Oval Office, he made a 180º turn and out-Hoovered Hoover. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ERROR, FACTUAL, June 17th, 11:14 a.m. - referred to B.P. being a bad guy ever since Rockefeller made his money in Saudi Arabia.

My response: check the facts, Rockefeller was dead before oil was discovered in Saudi Arabia. Rockefeller made his money in Pennsylvania oil to start with, then elsewhere.

Error, hypocritical - 12:14 Rush Limbaugh admitted that speculators influence oil prices after years of denying such.

ERROR, FACTUAL, 12:25 - why aren’t gasoline prices rising My response: They started rising a week after Memorial Day weekend, the oil companies showing amazing restraint by not raising them earlier. They may be afraid to raise the prices higher and, if so, we welcome this a refreshing difference.

Error, analytical 12:26 - referred to a single Wizard of Oz type guy who manipulates oil prices

My response: H’mm, must be the same guy who sets the prices at barbershops and hair stylists in my area, for some strange reason almost all charge the same price.

Error, analytical 1:12 - Hathaway and Gates tell the wealthy to give away half of their wealth to charity….don’t tell me what to do with my money, etc.

My response: Did Rush Limbaugh also mean Jesus Christ? Did not Our Lord during His earthly ministry tell the wealthy to give to the poor? Did not the early Church practice the taking care of each other by those who had more helping those who had less?

Error, analytical 1:12 - doesn’t care how airlines got their profits. My response: those of us who fill the seats and don’t want to become crash statistics disagree. Can you say, “Jet Blue”?

bookmark this! Towards the end of the last full week of June, R.L. predicted that the Gulf oil spill may prevent hurricanes from reaching the Gulf coast. Wait n’ see. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

June 30 Analytical error 11:50 - people were told that the Great Depression could not happen again.

Hypocrisy 12:40 - talked about entrepreneurs benefiting from the oil spill

See R.L.’s question of June 03rd at 1:23 p.m. C.T.

I guess R.L. never heard of Stalin’s Five Year Plans.
