RUSH Limbaugh RUSHED to hospital in Hawaii with chest pains
January 6, 2010 Wednesday RUSH BACK on radio LIVE
HONOLULU Wednesday, December 30
A Honolulu television station is reporting that conservative radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh has been taken to a hospital with chest pains.
Limbaugh is America's most influential conservative voice.
Paramedics responded to a call at 2:41 p.m. from the Kahala Hotel and Resort where Limbaugh is vacationing.
The station, citing unnamed sources, said paramedics treated Limbaugh and took him to The Queen's Medical Center in serious condition.
Queen's spokeswoman N. Makana Shook says the hospital is unable to comment on the report.
Television station KHON quoted unidentified sources saying Limbaugh was taken from the hotel in an ambulance.
Limbaugh was seen golfing at Waialae Country Club earlier this week. The country club is next to the Kahala Hotel and Resort.
Very interesting - FWIW, Rush's show ran those Maitreya ads(along with CNN, the Discovery Channel, et al) early this year.
However - recently, Rush spoke out against global governance, once mentioned how the elite chose Obama, and linked an Alex Jones anti-global warming piece on his web site.
With his sarcastic putdowns of liberal policies, parodies and self-promotion, he began capturing conservative listeners in the 1980s and grew to become the highest-rated radio broadcaster in the U.S. Recently, he's found a renewed purpose and has boosted ratings by railing against Barack Obama's presidency.
His 3-hour weekday show is heard on some 600 radio stations across the country, including KHVH in Honolulu, and more than 14 million people listen to him at least once a week.

A Message from Rush to His Listeners
January 1, 2010
To my listeners,
Thank you for your prayers and good thoughts over the past several days. Today, I am leaving Queens Hospital in Honolulu, feeling strong and rested. I offer my deepest thanks to the staff and administration there, who provided excellent care and supervision.
I'm going to take several days of rest over this weekend and the early part of next week, and will be back on the radio with you sometime next week, taking the advice of so many of you to rest and fully recover.
I wish each and every one of you a Happy New Year in 2010!

Rush Limbaugh and Kathryn Rogers Wedding
Why Elton John Played Their Wedding
June 8, 2010 By Zev Chafets, author of Rush Limbaugh: An Army of One.
A lot of people were unpleasantly surprised to learn that Elton John, one of the world’s most proudly prominent gay entertainers, played at Rush Limbaugh’s Palm Beach wedding to Kathryn Rogers last Saturday night.
Evangelicals voiced dismay that a pious fellow like Rush would give legitimacy to the libertine Sir Elton. Limbaugh-haters jeered at what they considered el Rushbo’s hypocrisy.
This demonstrates that even after more than 20 years on the radio, not everyone understands who Limbaugh actually is.
For starters he is not, and has never pretended to be, a member of the Christian Right.
As a young disc jockey he invented a fictitious faith healer, “Friar Shuck” who saved people over the radio for a hundred bucks a pop.
Shuck is gone now, but Rush’s show still has a rakish, sometimes impious edge.
His fans know he was an Oxycontin addict who spent time in rehab, that he unapologetically appreciates “adult beverages” and beautiful women and that his Sunday devotionals take place in the Church of the NFL.
As his good friend Roger Ailes once told me, Rush lives the way Jackie Gleason would have lived if Gleason had been rich enough.
On some social issues, like abortion, Limbaugh is a conventional conservative. On others he sounds a lot like Barack Obama. In an interview last summer he told me that he regards homosexuality as most likely determined by biology, considers other people’s sex lives to be none of his business and supports gay civil unions. I’m pretty sure that Elton John’s sexual orientation never even crossed Limbaugh’s mind.
What did? Well, if you are El Rushbo and you’re holding a big wedding, you don’t hire the local wedding band. And if your bride is twenty-six years younger than you, you want entertainment that with a multi-generational appeal.
Most of all, you want someone you can hear. Limbaugh has been deaf for many years. He can make out speech thanks to a cochlear implant, but not music. What he can do is remember songs from the past. As a young top forty DJ, Rush played Elton John songs a thousand times. He knows them by heart. For him, hiring Sir Elton was not a social statement. It was, I’m pretty sure, the act of a guy who wants to entertain his guests, make his wife happy and dance at his own wedding.

Rush Limbaugh
Mighty mouth, faster mouth in the ..... world!
I know I'll be destroyed eventually
Radio giant fears not only for his life, but also his wealth, accomplishments
May 26, 2010
He's the most-listened-to personality in the history of U.S. radio, but Rush Limbaugh feared for his life recently and said he knows he faces destruction at some point, to the delight of some of the American public.
In an e-mail sent to Zev Chafets, author of the new book "Rush Limbaugh: An Army of One," Limbaugh admitted, "I know I am a target and I know I will be destroyed eventually. I fear that all I have accomplished and all the wealth I have accumulated will be taken from me, to the cheers of the crowd. I know I am hated and despised by the American Left."
The message was sent the day after President Obama laughed at comedian Wanda Sykes' joke about Limbaugh's death during last year's White House Correspondents' Association Dinner.
Find out amazing, behind-the-scenes information that the doctor of democracy never talks about on the air in "Rush Limbaugh: An Army of One," direct from WND!
In a diatribe against Limbaugh, Sykes said: "Rush Limbaugh, 'I hope the country fails' – I hope his kidneys fail, how about that?"
The dinner was broadcast nationally on C-SPAN, and a clip has been posted on YouTube, with Sykes' remarks about Limbaugh beginning at the two-minute mark:
In "An Army of One," Chafets notes that while Obama laughed at the kidney-failure joke, he stopped grinning when she started talking about waterboarding.
"He saw the humor in hooking Rush up to a broken dialysis machine, but waterboarding was nothing to joke about," writes Chafets.
"Atypically, Limbaugh didn't say a word on the air about Sykes' routine, or the fact that the president of the United States had smiled broadly, in front of the entire country, about the prospect of his death. He was disconcerted, though, and he was right to be. He was in first place on the enemies list of the president of the United States."
Limbaugh is also in favor of homosexual civil unions, according to Chafets.
"He regards homosexuality as, most probably, biologically determined, and while he opposes gay marriage as culturally subversive, he has no problem with gay civil unions – which is the stance of President Obama and Hillary Clinton," the author explains.
When it comes to his thoughts about broadcasting colleague Bill O'Reilly of the Fox News Channel, Limbaugh likened him to the buffoonish TV anchor portrayed by actor Ted Knight on the "Mary Tyler Moore Show."
"He's Ted Baxter. Sorry, but somebody's got to say it," Limbaugh noted. "I never mention others on the air, and I don't engage in contrived rivalry crap. That's bad business; it encourages people not to hear the station you are on."
On his radio program today, Limbaugh got provocative against the Obama adminstration when he agreed with one of his callers that Obama was deliberately doing little to resolve the BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, to further his leftist agenda against drilling and capitalism in general.
"Everything is political. They want the disaster," Limbaugh emphasized.
"I know this is a tough thing for some of you to believe and hear because we don't think of presidents this way, but we got one now and an entire administration that do think this way – that everything that happens must be seen through the prism of 'Is it a political opportunity or is it a political liability?'
"If you doubt this, it's been six weeks. We now have Democrat commentators all suggesting that we know President Obama cares, but he's gonna have to do something to show it. He's gonna have to use a little emotion out there. The cool, calm Obama is not what we want."
"These are not things that you can fake," Limbaugh continued. "[If] you care about something, you care about it. If it really angers you, you get angry about it. When you're a leader and things like this happen and you think people are being lackadaisical in fixing it, then you step in and you see to it that everybody heels, too. There hasn't been any of that. There's been the usual political posturing. ...
"We don't have a leader. Obama's not a leader. He's an exploiter. He creates problems. He exacerbates them for the express purpose of taking advantage of them, pure and simple, folks."

Elections could end thanks to Obama
The Constitution has been ripped to shreds, so why is anything safe?
Talk-radio icon Rush Limbaugh today suggested the existence of U.S. elections are now threatened by a move he expects President Obama to pursue – a mass amnesty for illegal aliens – following the passage of his historic health-care reform plan.
"The next big push will be amnesty for ... millions of illegal immigrants who are here," he said on his radio program.
"Obama's gonna need their votes in 2012. The Democrats are going to need their votes in every election from now on – if we have elections, and I'm not joking.
"The Constitution has just been ripped to shreds, so why is anything safe?" he said.
Read the stunning report on how the unthinkable – the theft of an American election – may be on the horizon!
Limbaugh told radio listeners Democrats "must be hounded out of office."
"Every single Democrat who voted for this needs to know, safe district or not, that they are going to be exposed and hassled and chased from office. We now have leftist radicals in charge of your health care decisions rather than doctors. I got up today and I said, "We're hanging by a thread," and there's a difficult balancing act on this program today: Dealing with the reality of what has happened, which can't be candy coated, with the need to fight on. The need to fight on and the urging to fight on must have some substance to it and not just be rhetoric and language and lingo. It has to have some substance behind it, because we really are facing the prospect that our country will never be the same after yesterday, if this stands. It will never be the same, and a majority of the American people understood it.
"They won because they held Congress and the presidency, and therein lies the lesson: We need to defeat these bastards. We need to wipe them out. We need to chase them out of town. But we need to do more than that. We need to elect conservatives. If there are Republican primaries, elect conservatives and then defeat the Democrats – every last one of them – and then we start the repeal process."
Limbaugh's comments followed House approval last night of the president's strategy for a government takeover of one-sixth of the U.S. economy. The legislation includes a requirement that every citizen purchase government-specified health insurance or face financial penalties.
Already, a long list of challenges are being prepared – from states whose officials say the government doesn't have the authority to issue such demands to activist organizations who say Washington's plan is unconstitutional on a number of levels.
WND reported over the weekend when Democrats in the U.S. House, who needed 216 votes to pass a Senate version of Obama's plans, tallied 219.
Rep. John Dingell, D-Mich., boasted, "We're doing something that ranks with what we did with Social Security or Medicare. This is a day of which we can all be proud."
The approval came after Obama issued an executive order essentially banning the use of federal funds for abortions, even though analysts contend Sunday's decision effectually will be reversed when Obama signs the program into law Tuesday.
Obama's move was to secure the support of a handful of House Democrats who objected to government funding for abortion. Without their support, the proposal would have died.
Promoters of the bill have long touted the millions who will be added to health-care rolls and claimed that long-term, the trillion-dollar bill will eventually lead to deficit reduction.
Critics say that the bill's supporters have used accounting tricks to keep hundreds of millions of dollars in expenses out of the fine print. They cite several strikes against the reform attempt, from the cost of yet another taxpayer-funded entitlement to the general principle that nowhere in the U.S. Constitution – which sets limits on the federal government's powers – is there an authorization to force people to buy the health-insurance program a federal bureaucrat picks out.
Limbaugh said Obama is getting what he wanted – a complete makeover of the U.S. into a country with bureaucratic control over individual lives.
"He has come to divide. He has come to conquer. He hasn't failed. He has succeeded," Limbaugh said. "The Democrat Party has been co-opted and is being led by a far-leftist faction who admire and envy people like Hugo Chavez and Fidel Castro."
Then he explained what be believes Obama's next move will be: padding voter rolls.
"The next thing that's going to happen is a major push for comprehensive immigration reform. It will be called amnesty," said Limbaugh. "None of this should have been a mystery to anybody.
"He will divide this country even further. We can't stop it. We deal with a president who doesn't care how many votes he loses in November," he said.
He also suggested Obama soon will slash the U.S. military, increasing the danger to Americans.
"He's not interested in your freedom, he's interested in taking it," he explained. "The only way that Obama will ever be able to come close to paying for this spending is to practically get rid of the U.S. military.
"He can't wait to slash that and use the money for domestic spending," Limbaugh said. "The days of the United States projecting its power in defense of people in bondage will likely come to an end.
"He will continue his crusade to forever alter this country," he said. "Rome is burning, and instead of putting out the fire, we have too many people looking for a bag of marshmallows."
Republicans in Congress voted in a bloc to oppose the measure that many argue grants the federal government far too much power at far too much of a cost. They blasted the bill during the debate as the "mother of all unfunded mandates."
"The American people know you can't reduce health-care costs by spending $1 trillion or raising taxes by more than one-half trillion dollars. The American people know that you cannot cut Medicare by over one-half trillion dollars without hurting seniors," said Rep. Dave Camp, R-Mich. "And, the American people know that you can't create an entirely new government entitlement program without exploding spending and the deficit."
Tens of thousands of people descended on Washington on Saturday, lining up in circles around the Capitol, in protest of Obama's trillion-dollar plan.
Actor Jon Voight joined the protests and was blunt in his assessment of the plan and of Obama.
"It is a runaway train for him. And he has no way to put on the brakes. It is very clear that he will turn this country into a socialist America and his bullying and his arrogance can't stop," Voight said.
Several states and a multitude of rights organizations have also committed to challenging "Obamacare" in court on issues ranging from the basic unconstitutionality of a requirement to buy health insurance to the secret meetings Obama has held with his supporters such as Planned Parenthood.
WND's monthly magazine Whistleblower spells out strategies Democrats could use to manipulate elections, including universal voter registration, illegal immigrant registration, amnesty, convicted felons voting and planting operatives in America's statehouses.
