“A self-proclaimed tea party activist confronted President Obama at a town hall meeting Monday, and the media immediately scrambled to find out who he is,” Jeff Poor reports for The Daily Caller.
“But Ryan Rhodes, who lambasted Obama in Decorah, Iowa over allegations that Vice President Joe Biden has called activists ‘terrorists,’ isn’t hiding from the limelight,” Poor reports. “On Tuesday, Rhodes appeared on Rush Limbaugh’s radio program.”

Poor reports, “Rhodes explained some the details of the confrontation and what inspired him to act as he did, and Limbaugh asked Rhodes about what sort of personal computer he used. When he told Limbaugh he had an ‘old’ Acer computer, the talk radio host offered him an iPad and a MacBook, even after Rhodes revealed that he already had an iPad. ‘I’m going to send you another one,’ Limbaugh said. ‘I’m going to send you one of only 25 EIB–Rush Limbaugh signature iPads, and I’m also going to send you a 13-inch MacBook Air.'”

MacDailyNews Take: From a POS Acer to a new MacBook Air and an extra iPad, too. Quite the upgrade! And broadcast on over 650 radio stations across the U.S., too! More free advertising for Apple.

I’d kick Obama in the balls for a new MacBook Air.
Hell, I’d kick my own nutsack for a MacBook Air!
The liberals have created generations of a large segment of society that is addicted to the free ride that entitlements brings. This sagging, unproductive, miserable segment of society will continue voting in liberals to perpetuate this gravy train ride.
That is what socialism is all about. All these idiots should take strip int the former east block countries and ask these people there what they think of socialism. Like I have done.
U people are clueless or also known as Useful Idiots.
At the same time the conservatives have down their best to create and perpetuate a “sagging, unproductive, miserable segment of society” by protecting and championing rapacious greed.
Wrong 8inchIdiot. People have come out of the dark ages over the last 100 years thanks to conservatives and capitalism. Your communist ways kept people in the stone ages for thousands of years and your trying your best to put us back there. Screw you dirt ball.
Apple doesn’t need advertising from a racist hate monger. Why does MDN love Rush and why do they enjoy politicizing this site??
@THEIRRATIONALIST: You libtards need to go back to school and learn how properly form sentences and spell. Wow. Rush a racist hate monger????? He has the largest radio audience in the world and you try to label him that way. Pathetic. No one buys that BS. Just another hissy fit having liberal hating Rush for exposing their true motives. Right on Rush! Keep up the great work and enjoy your Apple Inc. products!!!!!
Regardless of politics… if this was in fact heckling rather than asking probing questions or making an uncomfortable point, I can’t condone rewarding bad conduct.
Klatuu Barack nikto!
God Bless Rush Limbaugh!
Rush Limbaugh is an asshole. Much like every other Teabagger.
You are a scumbag asshole just like every LIBTARD!
The tea bagger moron doesn’t even deserve a PC. And Rush deserves to be silenced and incarcerated.
Spoken like the true anti American, rights hating commie that you are you low life.
U gotta love it when the “liberals” want to silence someone. Stalin anybody?
U peeps are pathetic hypocrites.
Ubermac- I Must tell you, while the Mac itself is definitely uber, you yourself are the Least. Uber. Ever. Of course I may be giving you way too much credit. I doubt you’ve ever read any of the philosophical literature that your name would suggest, at the VERY LEAST you’ve never understood it. N would suggest you are untermensch, not even all-too-human.
Don’t flatter yourself commie boy. Libtards are deranged. Out to bring everyone down to the misery level and destroy opportunity. Don’t forget it.
Vote them all out, ‘Pubs, ‘Dems alike. Put in common-sense, get-things-done citizen statesmen who know how to solve problems. It doesn’t take someone with 10 years or more of Washington experience to follow rules and make laws that benefit the people while limiting the ever reaching arms of a bloated federal government.
This country has lived too lavishly for too long. We cannot come back from this precipice without making sacrifices. When 5% of the taxpayers pay 95% of all income taxes, and the proceeds are doled out for bread, circuses, and political backscratching, it makes for an unsustainable imbalance.
Yay conservatives, yay apple.
Limbaugh and these two could no more find the truth than they could find their asses with GPS and both hands.
The support from this bigot is rather embarrassing!
I really hope people don’t think all Mac users are such morons…
Hum! Seams very hard to some americans to finely have a realistic president. Obama is the first president to face and be honestly pointing out the fact that USA are in a VERY bad shape since years. unfortunately, republicans and brainless tea party fans, can’t accept the disaster their “vision” of the world has brought…
Hey Almux your foreign low life troll. Go crawl back under your rock in whatever scummy hell hole of a country you live in you ahole. USA will recover in 2012 once we vote your hero Maobama out. Go to HELL Foulmax!
I’ve had it with this site.
I’m altering my Hosts file so anytime I ask for Macdailynews, it goes somewhere that has adults talking about the Mac.
Don’t let the door hit you on the way out mtherfcker you limey troll.
i wish all the idiot conservatives could see that blindly following a performer is bad for the world in general and for themselves personally.
But when the hatred runs so deep, it’s hard to see the truck before it smashes you into the ground.
If people that complained about everything, as the tea baggers do, did a bit of research, you know, like pick up a fu&@$?/ing book once and a while, they would see that the biggest mouthpiece for the conservative corporate steamroller , rush, is a drug addict and he is as gay as it gets
I think it is so funny that the ultra conservatives listen so blindly to a junkie Fag
This country will get what it deserves, and it’s so sad.
