Rush Limbaugh Mocks Chinese President Hu Jintao

Andrew Leonard wants to think of totalitarian China as 'a great superpower'.

Sad to see that the political left in 21st century America is taking the appeasement road of Neville Chamberlain.

China is not a 'great' country in any political or humanitarian sense of the word.

China is a communist prison state that supports forced abortion, political and economic repression and slave conditions for it's workers.

China should be humiliated, but they don't seem to have the capacity to be ashamed of their barbaric society and government.

I have a question for you Joe. Have you ever traveled to China at any time over the past two decades?

Interested in your frame of reference.

Considering the changes in that society, why do you think the best way for the US to work with China is to make them feel "humiliated" and "ashamed".

Whether or not you agree that China is a great power (it definitely HAS great power, like it or not), Rush's act was juvenile and cringe-worthy. I would hope for more than grade-school humor from one of the leader of the conservative movement.

As a conservative, I do not consider Limbaugh a leader. The media has given him that label and, like sheep, the left has followed.

He is a radio personality that says things to get ratings. That is all.

My personal apologies to anyone of Chinese descent and anyone who lives in Asia. The majority of Americans do not follow this Wind Bag who thrives on hatred.

Rush Limbaugh is confused, deaf, and ignorant. His insulting words have alienated yet another group of American voters away from the ugly conservatism he promotes.

Rush was hilarious! Haven't any of you ever watched SNL? It's OK for liberals to poke fun, but not Rush??? Hypocrites.

Rush Limbaugh is at the center of controversy once again,
I'm Christian loyal Republican/Conservative. But Rush.L shows his stupidity uneducated act Republican. America is not that stupid as Rush.L. America wake up!

That's nice, gg.

Use his disability as grounds to attack him.

Wonderful. I'm sure you are proud of yourself for that one.

Do you trash folks who use wheelchairs too?

There are many Americans just don't feel comfortable to see China growing as a power nation. It's not hard to understand. but the attention should not be focused on the Chinese leaders, instead, the selfish politicians in Washington and the greedy bankers on Wall Street.
Rush Limbaugh is a joke, his audience are mostly stubborn old folks who had the mindset of cold war without much their own thinking.

Uhh Joe? Something tells me you're none of those things you claim you are, and your post is as "uneducated and stupid" as you claim Rush to be. My head hurts after trying to re-read your post.

Great Job Rush! This is some of your best stuff yet! And don't worry, the chi-coms still have a sense of humor, even if all these panti-waste liberals don't. Keep up the good work and I always look forward to your next show.

@ VastRightWing

Exactly! Libs can say/do whatever they want and the lib media can report whatever they want, even if it isn't true (which it often isn't).

Hypocrisy is alive and well and flourishes more and more every day on the Left...

What a shame!For Rush Limbaugh shows his childishness with stupidity.
I wonder if this is American Republican leader. Rush.l is a shame showing his ignoramous character.
I am a conservative, I do not consider Limbaugh a leader. The media has given him that label. What a shame!

How can millions of Chinese people be embarrassed and humiliated by a man on a program prohibited from broadcast in China by the Chinese government? As far as conditions having changed a bit in China, maybe they have, but if Americans still have to hear about slavery when no surviving American has ever owned a slave, I guess the Chinese can take a little bit over forced abortion, forced sterilization, political imprisonment, imperialistic invasions of neighbors, etc etc.

@Jon White - I agree, stooping to physical traits as a way to ridicule someone is very "classless." I also feel that Rush's impression of the Chinese language is just as classless. It is using a trait of the world's largest, and oldest civilization as an attempt to humiliate them. Fortunately this will only be interpreted as a stupid, thoughtless remark in both the US and China.

China's development has pulled hundreds of millions of the world's population out of poverty, in 30 years. I think they have many areas to improve upon. But it's not as black and white as you think. Do some unbiased reading/traveling.

Korea.........1950s.......400 thousand "REDS" cross the Yalu River to kill Americans. I don't forgive or forget. Obama hasn't a clue about history or Mao's 50 million murders.

Thanks GOD for Trident submarines.

Frank: She is referring to the Chinese American that lives in United States... duh.. What a moron.

Please everybody in China can get over the firewall easily and see whatever on the internet. I just lived there for 5 months facebook, youtube, and google are common despite what western media says.

No Joe, my post was not “trashing” Rush Limbaugh’s disability.

Note that my post was an apology to those who may not know about Rush Limbaugh’s hearing disability. In Asia, characters (words) often have multiple meanings.

In one layer of meaning, my use of the word “Deaf” was intended to explain how Limbaugh’s complaint about the speed of President Hu Jintao’s words could be connected to his poor hearing. And, in a second layer of meaning, the word “Deaf” was designed to describe his inability to hear other points of view.

By the way Joe, you did not answer my question about your frame of reference. Ever traveled to China or taken an Asian history class? I'm curious to understand if comments such as "barbaric" are simply repeats from the likes of Rush Limbaugh.
