Another “Best call ever!!”
Published by Mike Stark June 1st, 2006 in Rush Limbaugh, UncategorizedFirst, I have to credit and thank John K. for emailing me this audio. I also have to thank all the commentors in the previous post for alerting me to the call. I never would have known about it if it weren’t for y’all. Thanks and please - keep the tips coming.
Again, it wasn’t me. If you take a look at the comments in the last post, you’ll see that some of y’all heard “Jack from Oceanside” call Rush - and Rush didn’t believe Jack was Jack. Rush thought that Jack was pulling a scam. Rush wanted to know when “Jack” was going to Vegas.
But Jack was really Jack.
Ya know, this is fourth wingnut (including Hannity) that has caught on to what I’m doing. What is funny is that each one of them has attempted to bully me. Instead of being happy to engage in debate and show me (and their audience) the error of my ways, they threaten to sue me, send Fox News Security after me, come to my house or just “come after” me.
What are they afraid of? Why are they so insecure? Are their ideas not capable of withstanding scrutiny by some nobody with a website? Hell, my traffic is maybe 10,000 visitors on a good week. Each of these folks is speaking to, at a minimum, tens of thousands of people every day…
Anyway, here’s what the king of political talk had to say:
Rush: To Oceanside, California. Jack, glad you called sir. Glad to have you on the EIB network.
Jack: Rush, John Kerry said about Vietnam, “No one wants to be the last one to die for a mistake”. Incidents like Haditha will make it impossible to achieve the goal of creating a democracy in Iraq that is friendly to the United States. Rush, are you now willing to admit that Iraq is a disaster, a mistake and it is time to bring the troops home? Unless you in your arrogance are willing to send more of young men and women to their death…
Rush: (talking over Jack) Hey Jack, Jack Hey Jack! Jack! (deadens Jack’s mic) Tell us all your real name, will ya? And tell us where you really live… Tell us who you really are Jack… give us your real name. And, also… you might want to tell us when you’re gonna be in Las Vegas - that’s coming up soon isn’t it?
Jack: (bewildered) What? What’s that? I don’t even know what you’re talking about.
Rush: Yes you do. Tell us your real name. You are an imposter. You make a habit of calling programs and reading prepared speeches like this gibberish that you’ve just shared with us making demands of me. So tell us who you really are Jack, I want to know your real name.
Jack: Well you know, you’re just displaying to your audience that you can’t answer my question.
Rush: No. What I’m displaying to my audience is that I don’t put up with liars and frauds on this program. You don’t have to lie to get on this program, and when you do, your time is cut short. Why should I give credence, why should I respond and descend to your level to answer your silly, non-sensical, biased, agenda-oriented questions? I’m not going to waste my time. Just tell us who you are Jack and tell us where you really live.
Jack: Well, uh, you know… I think you’ve lost your marbles.
Rush: uh, no Jack… I’m in full possession of all three of my marbles…
Jack: I have no idea what you are talking about. You need to address what I just said.
Rush: No, I don’t need to address a damned thing that you just said, Jack
[crosstalk]
Rush: You are a fraud and I don’t have to address anything. I will address things on my own time in my own way, but I am not going to allow some low-life to put me on the defensive and make me assume the position of defending a position tha I don’t even know is true based on just your simple assertion. I’ve given you three chances now to come clean, to be honest and tell us who you really are… uh… I hjappen to know who you are Jack and if you try this one more time I’m going to blow you’re cover so that everybody else knows who you are and ruin your little scam that you’ve got going out there.
Now just to clear some things up here…
When Rush’s previous screener left, I emailed the show. I think his name was Brian and as I’ve said elsewhere, he was an expert at sniffing me out. So I emailed saying that Brian did a great job and I was glad to see him go, but he had my best wishes.
So I was never hiding my identity from Rush. I came out and told him I’d be calling more often now that Brian was gone. Further, the new guy has flat out asked me before, “This isn’t Mike from Albany, is it?” So I know they know who I am.
Even more to the point: there is an industry trade magazine called “Talkers”. When I started the site, I emailed them a heads-up and they wrote me up twice (one article had to do with O’Reilly, the other had to do with the marraige of blogs and talk radio) in the last issue. They even printed my picture.
So I’m not hiding.
And I’m not quitting, either.

I really enjoyed this call…it seems RUSH was quite defensive about not being put on the defensive so i give you a major hat tip…you have now driven not one (bill o reilly) but TWO of the major hate radio hosts completely NUTS…and you didnt even have to make the call this time.
when i listened to this ‘best call’ all I could think of to describe the position you have now put rush in were these lyrics…
“paranoia strikes deep..into your heart it will creep”
and RUSH SEEMS QUITE PARANOID….
at this point I think everyone who calls RUSH needs to identify themselves as ‘MIKE’ even the women who call…
this stuff is some of the BEST political theater going.
That was hysterical! It really is amazing how insecure the wingnuts on the radio are. Cheers to you making Talkers in two articles.
Keep giving them hell, and anyone else that helps you make those calls. Great material!
Rush is a big fat blowhard. Poor Jack doesn’t even sound like Mike. This is just hysterical.
Jack sounded just like you though.
yeah, he must have gotten pretty flustered to actually use the phrase “assume the position”
Gawd, just listening to him made my blood pressure go up. I don’t know how you do it.
Hey Mike,
Glad you got the audio OK.
It’s amazing how you have gotten to these wingnuts.
They think you are behind every opposing call. I can’t wait to hear the next time YOU get to talk to Rush.
Keep up the great work!
He’s really pissed about not being offered an invitation to Vegas isn’t he? I think he’s crushed that no enterprise he’s ever put his “talents” behind generates the kind of free flowing, enthusiastic grass roots participation of the liberal blogs. And I know you’re reading this Rush, so take a hit off your houka and cram it!
Rush sounds like he has switched his drug of choice! Instead of pain meds, Rush sounds like he’s now taking amphetamines. Why the paranoia Rush? The only thing worse than a right wing hack, is a right wing hack on speed.
Rush makes a living asking silly, non-sensical, biased, agenda-oriented questions.
Awesome stuff! So funny to hear these guys falling off the deep end just because someone challenges their position
Dude, you rule!
Nice to see you are getting under their skin. These hatemeisters make my blood boil - I’ve often found myself screaning at the radio. I never call em though cause I don’t have a cell phone for the road and I certainly don’t listen to these knuckledraggers in my home. Keep up the good work.
Absolutely hysterical!!! Rush goes after him, and Jack calmly says, “I think you lost your marbles,” very flatly.
bravo jack!!
if you listen closely, you can actually hear rush soil himself…
peace.
Credit where credit is due…
Wait wait folks… Mike is doing a great job. But “Jack from Oceanside” made the call. But it wouldn’t even be fair to credit him on this one. Heck, all he did was ask a question - and pretty brief and simple at that. Credit on this one really belongs almost entirely to Rush.
Credit where credit is due, folks.
Was this Jack Meoff?
Mike, I still say you need to call Rush today and invite him to YearlyKos since he knows your travel plans so intimately. Heck, since he’s stalking you, you may want to notify FOX security for protection.
Would the following be mean-spirited and childish? Should we get several people to call to ask Rush “Why are you so infatuated with Mike? Are you stalking him?”
Yeah, maybe a little too childish. Just spitballing to get the most out of this situation.

Credit where credit is due…
actually i think the credit goes to mike on this one because he’s got these guys so paranoid that any caller who sounds like a white male and challenges them with a thoughtout question is thought to be him.
for the first time i can really see the effectiveness of this. if that really wasn’t mike then rush truely sounds like an paraniod fool. maybe that “medication” did something to him
P.S. i’ve heard one call before where a guy guessed that it was mike and mike admitted that it was him with little hesitation. so i would say that i’m more inclined to believe him than rush
Rush deserves to be treated the same way he treats other folks. He teases people about their physical charactersitics like a high school sophomore. He is cruel and destructive in his dealings with others.
It should be noted that he himself has the type of physique (doughboy flesh, hang down man breasts) that is perfect for the Rush Limpbone treatment. He isn’t exactly the type of guy that goes to the beach and takes off his shirt, now is he? He probably turns off the light when he gets nekkid with his squeeze.
That is the only dialogue
Bloody fantstic. Love to hear Big Oxy squirm. He gets so angry and pompous when he’s in that defensive crouch.
Thanks, Mike, for all you do…
Thom Hartmann is talking about you right now. You should give him a call
www.ThomHartmann.com
Yes, excellent work - and of course, we’ll all have a good laugh about this when we’re huddled around a fire in the FEMA camps. Probably will be a few filled with bloggers.
Mike is here , there and everywhere . rush is giving the term wingnut a whole new meaning . might be time to hang it up rush , while you still can , but then again i hear the funnyfarm has a very nice radio studio . just another victim of hard drugs , so sad .
Did Rush Limbaugh just say that he doesn’t talk to liars?
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!
Mike,
pretty soon, that oxycotton lovin’ idiot is going to be afraid to take any calls because of you.
Ever considered voice-acting lessons? You can mask your voice to better infiltrate the wingnuts as they wise up more to your regular voice.
“Larry the Cable Guy” for instance, is a different personality/voice of the performer who does him.
Our next action should be for ALL of us to call Rush and say we are “Mike from Albany”.
I’m talkin’ women, kids…
Oh god…thank you for posting this. I literally laughed ’til I cried…the second time I listened. The first time, I was a bit confused. I didn’t know who you were or who Jack was, and I wasn’t quite sure whether or not that was someone *imitating* Limbaugh, since I’ve basically only ever heard people making fun of him rather than actually hearing *him*, and it seemed a bit over the top. Then I read all the comments, and listened again. In fact, I’m about to listen yet again. I wouldn’t hold my breath waiting to hear from Jack here. I really think he was as confused as he sounded, and he truly did think that Limbaugh had simply gone completely, nonsensically, non-linear. In fact, he’s probably still telling people that he called Limbaugh and that the guy seemed totally incoherent and incapable of tracking events in real time–seemingly confusing Las Vegas with Iraq. Too funny! (And good job, btw! You seem to have these guys more off balance than they already were.)
Hilarious..old Rush is soo stoopid..and wrong..I didn’t think Jack sounded like Mike but then my ears haven’t been blown out from the effects of oxy..
Ohhhh……SNAP!
RxUSH, anyone listening to that call realizes you got your ass handed to you.
I feel for ya Flushie, it is hard work being a Bush apologist these days.
Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha………:)
That’s great. using the word arrogance really lit ole Rushs fuse.. wow.
Next Time ask him about the 1/4 billion dollar contract Israel has for “offshore infrastructure” , read Oil Terminal. Ask ole Rush if the USA is indeed building a pipeline from Kirkuk, Iraq to Haifa, Israel ? ask him if 2571 US Military members are dead for a 42″ pipeline to Iraq.
My comments:
It was obvious you were reading from a prepared script at the beginning.
When Rush said “who are you really Jack?” you were completely at a loss,
it made you look weak.
Rush did not have his ass handed to him, its the other way around.
You may have been the winner in a factual reality sense,
but you came off as a loser and Rush as a winner.
Notice that Rush did not challenge your facts or accept your
premises. This is how conservatives have managed to convince people
that black is white day is night and wrong is right for the past 20 years.
You have to be prepared to deal with this. Merely being factually correct
does not work.
It is difficult and dangerous to confront Rush this way. He controls
the mike and the phone buttons and is not reluctant to use them to
get the upper hand. Plus he has way more doubletalk talent than you have.
You should spend a few years practicing on local right wingnut
radio hosts first. You will lose a lot of battles but at least
you will do less harm (ie less people will hear the liberal
opinion being presented on the losing side) and you have more
chance of winning. The local conservative is probably less talented than Rush
so it would be less like the local little league team
going up against the Red Sox.
Typical of a liberal. You have to lie to get attention, “Jack”. You can’t stand on your own merits, if you even have any. That’s the big difference between liberals and conservatives. Liberals know no rules and will stoop to any level, where as conservatives play using a higher standard.
Thats great,, I heard it on the Thom Hartman show.. I love it
Dwayne,
You’re kidding, right?
Hey Dwayne and Mister Spak,
You are both missing the point completely. First of all, unless you have some information that noone else seems to have, the caller “Jack from Oceanside”, was actually some guy named Jack from Oceanside. Anyone that has heard Mike on the radio before, regardless of whatever name and city combination he used, can verify that Jack sounded nothing like Mike. Mike has a very distinctive voice, and anyone without a drug induced hearing problem can tell the difference!
Given that information, it’s no wonder Jack was confused by Rush’s response to his question. Seeing a nationally syndicated radio host completely lose it on the air, is a shocking experience, especially for the person on the other end of the phone. Facing that situation, I think Jack did a nice job of staying on point.
Regarding Dwayne’s statement, “Liberals know no rules and will stoop to any level, where as conservatives play using a higher standard”, unfortunately in the case of Limbaugh, the higher standard, was drug induced.
Hey Dwayne -
Let’s translate your comment into reality.
“Typical of a conservative. We have to lie to get attention, and pretend you aren’t “Jack” [facts conservatives don’t like are ignored]. We can’t stand on your own merits, we don’t have any. [If conservativism worked so well, why didn’t it?] That’s the big difference between liberals and conservatives. Conservatives know no rules and will stoop to any level, [as the world is seeing] where as liberals play using a higher standard.”
Listening to a conservative is like watching Alice in Wonderland. Facts are slowly making people realize “conservatives” are talking about the man in the mirror.
You libs are pathetic but then, just like what you say about conservatives, this comment will never be put on the page for you to see.
As for stooping to any level: what the conservatives, Karl Rove and the Swift Boat idiots have done to Max Cleland, John Kerry, Murtha, McCain - true American heroes who actually did the fighting, not hide behind a microphone or Daddy Bush’s assistance - if that’s not stooping, we need a new definition. Kerry chose (incorrectly, it turns out) to ignore the Swifties and take the high road - he too has learned that there is no road too low that conservatives won’t take…while hypocritically and piously proclaiming that their opponent is the one throwing the mud.
The conservatives have dragged American politics into the muck and mire. The good news is that they’re losing their stranglehond on the GOP, and it’s driving them nuts - Rush and company are getting shriller by the day, and it’s great fun to watch.
In every social battle in America, conservatism inevitably loses: slavery, women’s sufferage, civil rights, gay rights, reproductive rights…all have been fought ferociously by the Right, and they have lost or, are losing, every battle. It just takes time.
But we must be aware that, as they lose, they are perfectly willing to lie and slander any one. Nobody fights dirtier. Kerry learned this too late. We must not weaken.
Keep up the good fight!
Just thought I would quote The Rev, before his comment was erase by the website nazi.

Does OxyContin make you paranoid? Hmmmm… Just wondering.
Just put this up - this is the Wingnut of the fucking year:

Bwahahahahaha!!!
A higher standard. Would someone please list what “merits” Limbaugh has ever stood on? He struck a chord with other wingnuts when Clinton was in office, and in between snorting crushed up tablets of Oxycontin he smeared everything that President did, who unquestionably was 10 times the intellectual and responsible caretaker that office exists for than the moron currently residing at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.
Furthermore, Flushie made a career or being hysterically
critical of all things Democrat that only resonates with the dumbed down masses who greedily devour whatever this partisan hack rants about.
The only good coming from our current President and his unending series of failures as President is it has unmasked his supporters as what they are: unquestioning, unthinking puppets who clearly are incapable of directing blame where blame needs directed.
fyi…because of drug boy’s affliction, he really cant hear callers all that well anymore
it is great to hear him go over the deepend
keep it up
Rush Limbaugh’s real (i.e. truthful) name is Jeff Christy. His honesty goes down after he named himself Rush, except for the rush to get a boil on his butt to avoid serving in Vietnam. Anyway, Jack spoke for most Americans and I just wish Christy would show some courage at some point in his life and speak honestly.
“you’re real name” in the transcript should be “your real name” (it occurs twice that I noticed)
At least Rush admitted he only has three marbles.
What a loser. Get a job already.
Dude, that so funny, Rush totally smoked you out. That’s pretty good for a guy who doesn’t hear so well.
And now Byron York outed you:
http://article.nationalreview.com/?q=MjI1MjJlOWRmNGJhNWQ1N2E3YjhmNGE1NzhiM2ZjMDQ=
Hey, uh, Jack? You don’t need to misrepresent yourself to get on the air with Rush. He frequently takes calls from liberals; in fact, he usually moves them up to the front of the line. If you represent yourself as a liberal, he will take your call and engage you in debate. What his frustration was on this call was that you misrepresented yourself. If you had been honest, he would have taken your call, and I’m sure the conversation would have been lively and productive.
So, I don’t get it… you were caught by Rush as being a liar who goes around doing this thing… you admit you lie to get on air, you admit you do this to everyone here, yet you didn’t admit it to Rush and on air, so you are supposed to be clever?
Applause for the liar who got away with it?
What is even more interesting here… is you didn’t get away with it. You lied and got caught… but didn’t confess up to what you were doing. Which means you are a liar and a hypocrite. Then you come here and tell all of your leftist wing nut buddies… as if “leftist” actually meant “lying” and “hypocritical”.
As far as Iraq goes… the leftists abandoned Southeast Asia years ago to the Communists, the Khmer Rouge and the Viet Cong. Tens of millions of innocent people were slaughtered, all in the name of “peace” for the Leftists. Then, these leftists went on to get big positions in the media and academia… so we have never looked back but to self-congratulate these people. We have never, as a nation, nor in the West, said to ourselves, “Why did we support the Viet Cong and Khmer Rouge?”
Today, you support the minority, Sunni terrorists… and by effect, the regime they held before we brought Democracy to Iraq.
Or, will the Shiites not be complete savages and simply massacre the Sunni minorities for all of the wickedness they have done?
I guess… either way… the leftists win, huh?
Ultimately, we should ask ourselves, if leftism is all about lying, murder, every manner of hypocrisy… and therefore every manner of criminality… then maybe leftism is not about any particuliar political stance apart from just being about being bad people?
(Granted, it should be noted that those on the extreme right, such as Islamists and Neo-Nazis effectively hold the same beliefs as the leftists… though their lies are different… they show themselves up to be on the same side. Maybe it isn’t so odd top consider all such extremists to be merely on the side of wickedness?)
(As for what these far left extremists call “extreme”, however… they call moderation and goodness “extreme”… so they have no way of knowing which way is up… or down… or left… or right…)
Super job… keep up the work exposing these liars and frauds.. I pray Rush will reform. i was wondering what was rush doing in Dominician with Viagra? I’ve heard that boy prostitutes are pretty cheap down that way? do you think any of cheney’s or hannity’s boys are down there? Maybe Ken Mehlman would know about the stuff ( at least if it involved homosexual relationships. What a bunch of hipocrites!!
Pray for the president and Rev Ted as he undgoes ‘cleansing” by the focus on the family folks! I wonder if Ken, Karl, President Dick and VIce pres W will be able to govern without the “advice” of reverend Ted?
