Rush Limbaugh is still fired up about the new health care law. He started off the show gloating about the story that a woman went into a doctor's office believing that she didn't have to pay anything because of the new law and was informed that she had to still pay her co-pay. He also seemed to enjoy reporting that children with pre-existing conditions will not be covered until 2014 due to a loophole in the legislation. Sticking to the conservative script, Limbaugh mused on the good ole days under Reagan: “During the Reagan years, people felt good about their country,” unlike today when the people running the country “dislike America.” Rush then whined about how he's been demonized by the press: “Democrats are gloating. They won, we lost, so how can I be the most dangerous man in America?” Rush later expressed his confusion as to why everyone was attacking him as an irresponsible spouter of “hate speech”: On his show, he said, "[t]here's nothing but love and affection and optimism, good cheer and happiness." (We beg to differ.)

Here are some highlights from the show:

Limbaugh says he “hope[s] so many people” go to see doctors in the next few days and “expect everything free”

Referring to health care subsidies, Limbaugh mocks idea that a family making "$88,000 a year" would “be on welfare”

Rush says after passage of health reform, “I'm the most dangerous man in America. How can that be ... if I lost?”

Limbaugh denies that there is “hate” on his show: “There's nothing but love and affection and optimism, good cheer and happiness”

Rush responds to Harris poll finding by stating: “The facts are facts. The president is a socialist”

Limbaugh encourages listeners to “make up a disease” and get it checked out to “find out what's in the bill”

Limbaugh says “no evidence” Frank, Lewis, Cleaver faced homophobic or racist attacks they are “whin[ing]” about

Limbaugh on Dingell's “control” comment: He “really mean[s]” what he said, like “when you're drunk, the truth somehow comes out”

Rush explained that he is constantly attacked, not because of his incendiary rhetoric, but because “they're liberals, they attack the truth tellers.” This is why, Limbaugh explained, he will never have a liberal on his show. The always-classy Rush also mentioned Joe Biden's statement that the health care bill passing is “a big f-ing deal.” Rush said: “it is a big 'f-ing' deal, and we're the ones getting 'f-ed.'” Rush went on to suggest that his listeners “make up an illness, pretend you want a colonoscopy, just for fun” because now that the health care bill is law, everyone can get “whatever medical procedure you have always wanted.” He ended his show by mocking Rep. John Conyers for supposedly misquoting a clause in the Constitution, and Reps. Barney Frank, John Lewis, and Emanuel Cleaver for “whin[ing]” about the racist and homophobic attacks they reportedly faced as they walked through a Tea Party crowd. Rush concluded that there's “no evidence” of their statements. So much for “love and affection and optimism, good cheer and happiness.”
