Inspiring Limbaugh radio shows yesterday and today… Rush hammered on a great many topics of relevancy. It’s going to torque the Left something fierce.

This transcript is comprised of what he covered about the growing town hall ObamaCare protests, “All Statist” Insurance under ObamaCare, and the “Obama The Joker” posters in Los Angeles, Hollywood, and Atlanta that are upsetting liberals.

This Limbaugh transcript from yesterday’s and today’s talk radio shows are available on Limbaugh’s website for the next few weeks for everyone to read, and is available indefinitely to members of Rush Limbaugh’s 24/7 Club.

Obama Approaches Tipping Point As Nation Erupts Over Health Care
Rush Limbaugh – EIB Network
Broadcast August 3, 2009

RUSH: The health care plan, people are erupting. We’ve got the audio of Kathleen Sebelius and Arlen Specter being told what-for.

People in Los Angeles, you ought to go to the Drudge Report. There’s a poster in Los Angeles of Obama made up to look like Heath Ledger’s Joker character in the last Batman movie.

And I’ve always said the downfall for Obama — when the tipping point’s reached — is going to be when it becomes cool to dislike the guy, when it becomes cool to make fun of the guy, and it’s starting to happen here.

BREAK TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: Folks, I have learned what the government’s new insurance companies are going to be called. As you know, Nancy Pelosi has made it plain. It’s time this month, in August, to demonize the insurance companies. That’s how they’re going to try to get you to change your mind and go the opposite direction from the way you’re going now, and that is support Obama’s health care plan.

There are going to be two insurance companies run by the government: All Statist and Statist Farm. “Like a Big Brother, Statist Farm will be there.” Statist Farm is also where you will be put out to pasture once you’re 70 years old and in bad health. It’s just amazing. Listen to this audio sound bite. This is from Philadelphia at the National Constitution Center on Independence Mall. Kathleen Sebelius, the Health and Human Services Secretary, and Senator Specter held a town hall meeting to talk about health care reform, and during the Q&A an unidentified man had this exchange with Secretary Sebelius.

MAN: My question to you is when congressmen stop at the notion of reading legislation because they aren’t qualified or they aren’t competent to understand it, how can we be confident that those congressmen are competent to re-engineer the entire health care system?

AUDIENCE: (cheering)

SEBELIUS: I am… I am not a member of Congress, have never been one.

AUDIENCE: (grumbling)

SEBELIUS: That’s just a fact. I’ve just — I’m just telling you.

MAN: You don’t have to have been!

SEBELIUS: My observation is, I have never seen members of Congress work harder and it — it is acceptable to me for somebody –

AUDIENCE: (boos and angry shouts)

SEBELIUS: Hours and hours and hours and hours have been spent. If people say they haven’t read the legislation, then tell ‘em to go back and read it. It’s available.

RUSH: I’ll tell you what, this is just the beginning. This whole month is going to be like this if these people have the guts to go out and do these town hall meetings. I think that they won’t. I think they’ll do junkets. I think incidents like this like, as we discussed last week, will be dismissed. “Well, the audience, she shows up and they’re uninformed. They’ve been engined up by talk radio and it’s an unruly mob! I — I — I can’t even promise security.”

This is how they’re going to get out of doing this, but it isn’t gonna matter. This is a fever pitch that people have gotten themselves into over this, and this is easy to understand. They haven’t read the bill. It’s easy to understand: When you’ve got 72%, almost 80% of the people happy with their insurance, happy with their coverage, they don’t want to give it up — and they’re going to learn more and more, are learning each and every day that they will lose their private plan.

In fact, we’ve dug up some audio of Obama from a couple years ago stating that that’s his objective is to get rid of private insurance. He said it may take a little while to do it, but the public option is the end. Barney Frank is confirming it, too. You are going to lose your private insurance. It’s just… It’s the plan. It’s in the bill. It is going to happen.

Obama is out there denying it when people ask him about it.

Sebelius, I think, if you see that, she can barely hide her disdain for the voters showing up at these meetings. She has real contempt, and there’s surprise. You know, she is part of this cabal that thinks people look at government as though it’s parliamentarian royalty and that whenever anybody from The Government shows up, that we’re in awe and that we are totally trusting and that we believe everything they say and that they are instrumental to us in our lives. And when she gets out there and she sees this…

These people never in touch with real America. Even though she saw governor of Kansas, these people are not in touch with real America, and they run up against stuff like this, and they’re totally shocked. They’re totally surprised that these people know more about what’s in the bill than Kathleen Sebelius even knows what’s in it, but she’s really shocked that these serfs have the audacity to object to anything she and Senator Specter say.

Excerpt from Limbaugh’s August 4, 2009 show:

Obama Becomes a Caricature
Rush Limbaugh | EIB Network
Broadcast August 4, 2009

RUSH: I actually think Obama is in the process of becoming a caricature. I do. I think he’s becoming a caricature of himself slowly. You know this poster of Obama out there as the Joker? People are all bent out of shape about this. It turns out that Vanity Fair back in 2008 sometime did their own artwork in a cover story of Bush as the Joker, as Heath Ledger’s Joker and it was praised as a great piece of art.

Now, this is a poster, and they’re saying this is racist, this is humiliating, you don’t talk about the president of the United States. The very people who spent seven years mocking everything about George W. Bush—telling us how to assassinate him in books, doing movies about his being assassinated, calling him Hitler—are just outraged about this, but there’s nothing racist about this Obama poster. In fact, if you’ve seen The Dark Knight — have you seen The Dark Knight, [producer] Snerdley? All right, you know the character of the Joker in that movie, the Joker in that movie took every opportunity to remake Gotham City, didn’t he?

He had a big damn chip on his shoulder about his childhood and about a bunch of other things. His goal was to undermine the whole system. I think whoever did this is pretty brilliant, actually. And to effect the change that the people of Gotham City didn’t want, the Joker created chaos upon chaos. The whole city was focused on him and what he was going to do next. He viewed crisis as an opportunity. So the Joker orchestrated crisis after crisis after crisis. And the Joker wore a mask. I mean whoever put this poster together is pretty smart because there are some similarities here to what the Joker did in that movie and what Obama is doing to this country. And, by the way, Obama has admitted to wearing masks.

In Dreams from My Father: (paraphrasing) “It was usually an effective tactic, another one of those tricks I had learned. People were satisfied so long as you were courteous and smiled and made no sudden moves. They were more than satisfied; they were relieved, such a pleasant surprise to find a well mannered young black man who didn’t seem angry all the time.” This is his tactic for fooling white people. This is the mask…

…Let me ask you a question, folks. Why is it art when some cretin dips a crucifix or a cross in a jar of urine? He got a federal grant to do it. It’s hung in some museum in New York. Remember that, from back in the nineties? Andres Serrano, a crucifix dangled in a jar of urine in a museum. It was called art. Federal tax dollars granted him the money that was not necessary to do it.

But a poster of Obama as the Joker paid for by someone on his own and hung on telephone poles or wherever in Los Angeles and Atlanta is over the line! That poster ought to be framed and hung in a museum. It’s art, after all, isn’t it? Maybe somebody ought to write a book about Obama. It could be called, “Barack Obama Is a Big-Eared Idiot.” I’ll bet the libs would love that! “Barack Obama is a Big-Eared Dumbo.” I bet the libs would love it.
