Limbaugh, wife, married 10 years, announce divorce


June 12, 2004


Conservative radio commentator Rush Limbaugh announced Friday that he and his wife, Marta, are divorcing.

The Limbaughs "mutually decided to end their marriage of 10 years" and have "separated pending an amicable resolution," according to a statement released by Limbaugh's publicist.

It was the third marriage for both Limbaugh, 53, and his 44-year-old wife, who were wed May 27, 1994, at the Virginia home of U.S. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas. Thomas officiated the ceremony.

The couple shared a $24 million oceanfront mansion in Palm Beach, Fla. Limbaugh often broadcasts his daily three-hour show from a Palm Beach studio.

Spokesman Tony Knight said the divorce was a personal matter and declined further comment.

The past several months have been difficult for the politically and socially conservative Limbaugh, who announced in October that he was entering drug rehabilitation because he was addicted to prescription painkillers.

At the same time, West Palm Beach, Fla., prosecutors announced they were investigating whether Limbaugh illegally went "doctor shopping" to obtain the pills. The practice refers to visiting several doctors to receive duplicate prescriptions of controlled narcotics.

Limbaugh, who has not been charged with any crime, has repeatedly fought back against the charges and negative publicity he's received over the matter.

Sancitity of marriage? Yeah, Rush sure is a shining example of that. :rolleyes:

the reason everyone is so quick to point out limbaughs troubles is that they know what he says is mainly true, so other then break down his arguments they break down the man, its easier that way.

I believe he is rather unqualified to say anything about the so-called "sanctity of marriage" if he fails to practice what he preaches.

just becasue he cant get his to work doesnt mean he has no right to believe in marriage as being between a man and a woman. thats like saying unless you have served in a war you have no right to speak about the current war.

He has a right to believe in, and speak about, any subject he wishes, but he can't speak any more credibly about the sanctity of marriage than he can about the evils of drug use.

all he has are opinions anyway, so saying his opinions are not as valid doesnt really mean anything becasue opinions are just that, opinions.

*sputters*...well...that's just YOUR opinion...:D

Limbaugh provides entertainment and for that he is paid. Like any other talk show host he is an entertainer and that is all. So arguing that he should be above reproach or that he is a liar is of no consequence.

Or the fact that this “entertainer” is being pushed into the ears of our troops? If I’m not correct, this man is influencing the way our troops preserve the war and the American people at home. It’s funny Rush says how the liberals “hate the troops” when really we don’t. So maybe it’s the Republican, Far-Right-Wing extremists that are “making the morale of the troops decline”

Armed Forces TV and Radio carries many different shows, Limbaugh is just one.
He is no different than any other show that is carried on AFR.
I guess if you are being attacked by Limbaugh then it is serious, but when Moore attacks Right Wingers it is just and should be seen by all.
It is all entertainment lets not go nuclear on this, it is a waste of time for all.

Actually, the only huge liberal radio station is Air America, and I highly doubt they are played in the military…but we’ve discussed this before, and Rush is in the military.

But, I guess they play Moore Films in the military all the time!

They only carry the shows that are either rated well or cheap. But Limbaugh has been on the bird for 7 years and that means he was added during Clintons terms.
Anyway, I do not know what shows are carried on AFR and AFTV but I am sure they are enjoyed and most accept them for what they are. The troops get real news and dont have to rely on Limbaugh for the news.
I will tell you when I was in Beirut we saw newspapers and figured that the extreme left was against us and our role in Beirut. And Limbaugh wasnt on the air back then.

The left was against you, or the actions you were committing?

And regardless, you assumed they were against you. Rush has said things that are practically crazy, things most newspapers won’t report.

So, I’m fairly sure they are getting lies, and flat out insane statements you never got. Which is why he is such an influence, and shouldn’t be in our soldiers ears. It should be “un-bias” newspapers. Although they can lean, it’s better then having a completely Right-Wing lunatic spouting off lies.

give us an example of a lie or flat out insane statement rush limbaugh has made. and why do you think the troops are so stupid to not know the difference between outright propaganda and news, while you are some sort of expert. why is that? does being a liberal give you some sort of super power to that the idiot troops dont have?

http://www.rushlimbaughonline.com/

Yep, I'm an idiot. Just look at that Left-Wing SITE! Ohhhhh lord!

It will help you, and it shows his lies. But, you won' t go to it.

Damn.

I guess the Prisoner Abuse was just “blowing off steam” and like “college hazing”

LOL, I knew you would go to a site. you have no actual experience in actually listening to him. its easier to just go to a site that conforms to what you want to say I guess. if they said limbaugh was gay you would go with it. you have no brain, only a recorder. go away.

Lol, I’m not going to point out the quotes for you. The link is there, and you refuse to take it, because it proves Rush Limbaugh is a liar. I’m fairly sure they have recordings of him lying, and making hypocritical statements. It’s all on the web, but you refuse to acknowledge it because you want to label me as a recorder, then live in your world of fantasy and pretend what I have to say is nothing, because all I do is post links that provide facts to the point I’m trying to make.

I am stilwaiting for your quotes and proof overdose. you post links of facts about as well as shaman does. just a little hint, just becasue you agree with whats on a site doesnt automatically make it true or a fact.

Action I was commiting? explain that please?
Limbaugh says what he thinks, well it is his show and still legal. Most people realize that a talk show is based on the opinions and politics of the host. I listened to Limbaugh, Colmes, Reagan and Hannity but only believed what I could verify.
By the way I used to listen to Art Bell but I didnt believe most of the show, it was just fun to hear the conspiracy theorist.
Do you believe that Ted Rall is bad for liberals?

How can someones opinion be held against a candle as truth or lies?
Moore quotes false stats from the Washington Post and you believe him, but Limbaugh speaks his opinion and it is a lie. Odd rationale.

When did I say I believed Moore?

I think you did, but I could be wrong. The point I am making is that they are both entertainment and nothing more.
If Limbaugh was an anchor of a news show then he could be called a liar or a hypocrite. But he hosts his show and it is based on opinions and nothing more.
Much like this site, I have never called you a liar becuase you said something that was a sweeping assumptions about right wingers.
Again there is no difference.

There is a difference with bias news is being reported into the ears of our troops. Yes he can have his opinions that are lies. But our troops deserve the fair news with no opinions.

Our troops deserve what ever they ask for. As a Vet I am aware that AFTV and Radio provides what is popular and what is asked for. So maybe they want to hear it. They also have that right, what you are asking for is a sanitary news bubble for the troops. But that would be unfair.

You said the ones that were cheap or have high ratings, so it’s not what they want to hear, just the ones that are cheap or the ones that are “popular” in America.

Sitcoms, cheap. Yes we saw shows that no one ever heard of.
But the radio side is not the same, first of all there is no cost to carry the signal to AFR usually, and secondly popular means they want to hear it.

The right wing is saying that the liberals are “anti troops” and that is clearly not true. But Rush Limbaugh is filling their heads with this nonsense, and they are the ones that are clearly making the morale of the troops decline with these flat out lies. If our military is going to hear things that are just not true, then it’s not fair to the people at home, who don’t get to have a chance to share their side of the story. The military should get un-bias news, regardless of what they “want”.

Share your side, contact the closest deployed unit to you and ask for the addresses of those in Iraq and write to them.
It is easy and makes the troops quite happy.
OD you dont have to rely on a radio show to make your views known to our troops.

Good job, BV.

I am going to take this as a compliment for providing you with good info.

So thanks :)

I never said you were correct, I still firmly believe that the military should get un-bias news and no opinion should be given. They should get the facts, and base their opinion by themselves with no one in their ear going, “The liberals don’t support you! Vote for Bush!”

You do know that all campaign ads are carried, yes that is for both candidates.
Also why is it taht you believe that the troops dont have the same right as you or I, they can either turn on the show or turn it off. They can believe it or not.

Because they are not given all accessibility to everything. Since they aren’t, they shouldn’t get either or (you said only 7 are given to them). Right now they get Limbaugh, and others. No Air America. So yes, they should get the choice, but when the choices are limited to one side, I have an issue.

Well I dont have both sides available to me where I live so I guess I shouldnt have any?
Radio Shows are carried by stations to attract more listeners and thus make more money, so if a liberal show doesnt get the numbers that Limbaugh does then it wont be carried by a large number of stations.
It is not based on being fair but money, and of course if the military is a cross section of the population then I guess a show which gets a 23 share would be carried before a show that gets a 5 share.
No big sinister plot, except money.

Again, if they don’t get both sides, I say no sides. The troops should get fair, and balanced look at both sides of the political spectrum. As of now they aren’t, and I’m against that, because we are only giving the military one side. So both sides, or non-bias news.

They deserve to hear what they want, as long as all options of what “political affiliation” are present.

I guess when you start making the decisions on what we can hear I will debate this further.
You are asking the troops to give up even more, if they draw a line here then I guess no formula one racing unless they get every other form as well. Remember it is entertainment and for news they can read a paper or watch CBS, FOX, NBC, or ABC all of these radio broadcasts are carried as well as every half hour during Limbaughs show.
Also a large number of the command troops have interne access and can surf sites for info as well.

I’m not saying what they can or cannot hear. All I believe is that they should get the choice to decide if they want to listen to Rush Limbaugh or Air America or some Liberal vs. Conservative. As of now they don’t have that choice…since they only get 7 to pick from. So if they don’t get both sides, equally, then they shouldn’t get any. It’s not that hard to grasp.

lets see they get FOx news and Hannity and Colmes, they get CNN which is mostly liberal in their unbiased news as is CBS.
The soldiers have both sides available. I am sure that AFTV and Radio is better than it was when I was in and we had both sides.
As for not being hard to grasp, it must be because you dont get it. Dont rely on a show to keep the morale up, write to them yourself and tell them you support them.

Rush Limbaugh is the right of the right. CNN is not the left of the left, it’s hardly even liberal. Fox News does lean right, but not enough to “sway” opinions.

Next.

I guess it is hard to see when you are in either ditch. Drive to the middle and then look where everyone sits.
CNN and CBS are self proclaimed liberal operations.
Fox is right of center but Colmes is way left of center and is the opposite of Hannity which is way right.

THe point is that if you want to stop all broadcasts into the region just because liberal shows are not good money makers then how is that Limbaughs fault and why should the troops be denied what the majority asked for?
Anyway I am tired of beating this dead horse.
It is entertainment just like Friends and The Sopranos........

:hitout:

Dead horse....
yep, I'm done here.

Either no bias, or you give all bias.

shhhhh, dont tell anyone that the world is all black and white and no shades of gray.....Because if entertainment is viewed as news we have problems that we cant solve here.
Limabugh is an editorial piece and the news is suppossed to be unbiased. But sitcoms are biased and of course most documetaries are as well. So we should not let the troops see anything but the news? Well that doesnt show a lot of support for them. I guess it is part of the mentality that lets people tell me what I should eat, where I can smoke outside and when I can display a cross on my property.
Ok Now I am done

anything more, because it isn't working?

i personally dont think our troops should hear any news from us, left or right. doctors cant operate on family members because its emotional, same with soldiers. they have a job to do and it has to be hard to do a job when people are putting doubts in your head. any intelligent soldier would say, we dont need to hear your political bs, left or right. i dont want to hear that we are wrong for being here, because i have no choice. rush should NOT be able to tell the soldiers LIES like liberals dont like the soldiers or are against them......no one here is against the soldiers.....no one !. if anything , we are for them because we dont believe they should be there dying for a lie ( my opinion ). people say that if you are against the war then you are against america, who the fuck gave them that right to make that distinction....people are so full of it. if i were a soldier , and listening to that kind of stuff, i'd be pissed at our people using this moment for politics. that is the ONE place it does not belong.......shows like seinfeld, that 70's show, will and grace....hell even the soprano's......but NOT politics

I have an idea, overdose, why dont you go into the military and you can make sure all the people in your unit get their dose of radical left wind ideology on a daily basis. that should go over real well :rolleyes:

Korg Limbaugh has said he believes in family values but that doesnt mean he has to stay married. Hell I believe in the war in Iraq but I dont own a gun.
And you better than anyone should know that talk radio is nothing more than a 1-4 hour editorial and should be viewed as such.
He never pretends to be a news anchor, he as well as us know that it is his opinion.

He never pretends to be a news anchor, he as well as us know that it is his opinion. you know, i could walk into a classroom and tell all of the kids that there is no god, and that the devil rules, and that hitler was a great man. that could be my opinion (its not ), but some things are just a little dangerous to say. just no good could come out of it... to me, rush, even if its just his opinion, telling soldiers that liberals dont like them and are against them, is a little dangerous. there are some lies you just shouldnt be able to tell in the name of journalism. he can say all he wants, that liberals dont agree with them being there, or that they do not believe in this war. c'mon man, to say that they are against them is just flat out wrong. who's feelings is he considering ?

limbaughs not a journalist korg, never claimed to be! and how come you are so quick to propose limiting limbaughs free speech but blow a gasket if Howard stern cant tell fart jokes and stories about a man and woman chained together with one shitting in a hat and the other puking ina bucket?

Korg I thought you would understand this better than anyone. Talk radio is nothing more than entertainment, if you want the troops to know that liberals support them then write letters to a unit from near your hometown. They would love to hear that.
I have been in a news vacuum and it is horrible, not knowing what is going on at home, we didnt even get AFR in Beirut.
By the way sitcoms are political as well,since Limbaugh is getting a large share on Arbitrons shouldnt that be an indication that a large portion of the troops would want to hear him? Just because they are in Iraq why is it that we cant let them have what they would listen to hear. If the Liberal shows were rated high enough I would say carry those as well.

What ever happened to him broadcasting live from high atop the EIB building in downtown Manhatten,Damn now he broadcasts from Palm Beach ,,boy he has a lot in commin with all of us regular folks doesn't he ??

U.S. taxpayer money is paying for right-wing propaganda to be spewed throughout the world: every day, Armed Forces Radio (http://www.afrts.osd.mil/)

carries an hour of Rush Limbaugh's show. Worse, they don't broadcast The O'Franken Factor or any liberal counterweight. U.S. troops in 175 countries can hear Rush claiming that liberals are soulless by definition and that the Abu Ghraib torture techniques were "brilliant." Is that where you want tax dollars going? And is Rush the ideal radio ambassador from the United States to the world?

~Ben Wikler

...........well....

OD, one hour? we are arguing about one freaking hour of a day, an hour that has 19 minutes of commercials, 10 minutes of news that leaves Limbaugh 31 minutes to speak. I am going to say this just once.
GET OVER IT!!!!

an hour every day.
oh and I won't get over it...
so get over that...

I thought we were talking about a large amount of time, not the time it takes to eat lunch, or the time it takes to shower. Damn I wasted 8 hours of my life arguing about 31 minutes a day.
:hahanot:

An hour of lies, and insane statements a day. I think that's enough to argue over.

tick tock, tick tock,tick tock.... another few seconds and no Limbaugh, MY GOD man how will we survive?????

Good reply.

BV, immaturity runs with you?

It’s either I post links and good articles to prove my point, and you say I’m a “copy and past robot”

Or it’s, back up your opinion with links and articles!

Get over yourself.

Get over yourself.
Try using your mind, I am not the one spouting off and calling people ignorant fools and saying that someone who backs you into a corner is dumb or blind..........
Get over yourself and enjoy me pointing out every bad fact, biased link or bad hair day you have.
I am not immature, I am a person who has done something about the threats we face and will not run in the face of the enemy, nor will I whine about having to do something to make this country better.
Besides all that why dont you post your thoughts not those of an article, I ask for facts to back up your opinions not for the bulk of the debate.
Use your own mind, not someone elses.

Again, you’ve seen my opinions many times. I’ve posted what I think, and I’ve debated you many times. I do say what I believe and I don’t always post articles and links. You accuse me of just posting articles and links, when really, I do share my opinion and ideas. So stop accusing me of something that is so clearly wrong. I do share what I believe, and I do post articles that prove my point.

All of our recent debates I’ve shared my opinion, not someone else’s. You are the one who is like, “most liberals think he was a threat, so you are in a minority” So maybe I really am posting my opinions?

If you don’t like my articles I post, then put me on ignore, or don’t reply to them (funny you replied to every single one)

Like a train wreck, dont want to look but you have to..............

BTW most of your replies have been articles, not alot of opinion. If you would refrain from full articles and use just short quotes and link the rest, more people might pay attention to your posts. Not bad mouthing you, just trying to help your postings.

I look through most of our threads, and I see mostly opinions…funny, isn’t it.

Go look at Angry Veteran, look at Bush Bashing and so on. nope mostly articles, well I am waiting for you to debate me not let the pres do it.
Yes you should use REPORTS and if none are available then use links to articles when asked for evidence, or even in an opening remark. Most people wont read a long copied post.

looked
mostly debate
not articles.

Would you two SHUT UP??!!?!?

Thank you. :):):)

dont wanna....... cant make me........ well maybe but dont, please........
