Is Limbaugh really that blind to his own hypocrisy?

The Yokel vs. the Professor

If there’s one thing you can count on when it comes to wingnuts, it’s their weapons-grade hypocrisy and projection. Case in point: Rush Limbaugh, who’s spent most of the last year-and-a-half attacking Obama, his administration and the Democrats in nearly every possible way short of using a baseball bat and using all sorts of reprehensible rhetoric, is now whining that because Obama referred to him and Glenn Beck by name in a recent interview and called their incessant loony vitriol “troublesome”, the President is therefore engaging in “character assassination”.

"I think the president is trying to distract me, to get me talking about ME on my show instead of talking about him and the regime's agenda. But it won't work. I'm wise to their tactics," he wrote. "I know that a majority of Americans are angry at the regime's (and the Democrats') constant attempts at character assassination of their opposition. They want no part of engaging us in the Arena of Ideas. They seek instead to discredit and marginalize us, and it has gotten old."

Jesus H. Christ in a rocket bottle. This guy could project a film onto Pluto.
