Speaking of Rush, I do think he's responsible in part for Obama winning the primary. If the Stop Hillary Express hadn't mobilized Republican's like my father in-law to vote for Obama in the primary, you wouldn't have what the right considers the more left of the two candidates.

In fact, it was sweat irony that Obama won the Presidency because I believe like my father in-law did that if they stopped Hillary, the Republican ticket could beat any black man.

So thanks Rush, for creating one of the unintended consequences you talk about so often... lol.

Hello Steve:

I'm a critic of him, and I'll cop to being divisive and radical too... But, I'm not a hypocrite. The Limp one is...

He'd put people in jail for doing exactly what he did, and he makes no bones about it... I don't need to know anything more about an individuals character than that.

Let's take Mark Furman as an example... He appears regularly on FOX as their legal expert. Mark Furman is a liar. HIS lies ARE the reason OJ Simpson got away with murder. He is SOLELY responsible for that... Nobody but HIM!

I have no use for people like him or the Limprod. I wonder why FOX does.

Looks like the White House (that being Rahmbo-Axelrod and not the president) thinks they've gotten enough mileage out of Operation El Rushbo. Their new villian seems to be Eric Cantor. Alinsky would be proud. Meanwhile the country crumbles.

"President Obama -- in whom I still have great hope and confidence -- has been ill-served by his advisors and staff. Yes, they have all been blindsided and overwhelmed by the crushing demands of the presidency. But I continue to believe in citizen presidents, who must learn by doing, even in a perilous age of terrorism. Though every novice administration makes blunders and bloopers, its modus operandi should not be a conspiratorial reflex cynicism.

"Case in point: The orchestrated attack on radio host Rush Limbaugh, which has made the White House look like an oafish bunch of drunken frat boys. I returned from carnival in Brazil (more on that shortly) to find the Limbaugh affair in full flower. Has the administration gone mad? This entire fracas was set off by the president himself, who lowered his office by targeting a private citizen by name. Limbaugh had every right to counterattack, which he did with gusto. Why have so many Democrats abandoned the hallowed principle of free speech? Limbaugh, like our own liberal culture hero Lenny Bruce, is a professional commentator who can be as rude and crude as he wants."

Another good point - which will be entirely ignored by the MSM and dismissed (or ignored) by the critics here, is the very people responsible for the attack on Rush wanted Bush to fail. Bill Sammon notes:

On the morning of Sept. 11, 2001, just minutes before learning of the terrorist attacks on America, Democratic strategist James Carville was hoping for President Bush to fail, telling a group of Washington reporters: "I certainly hope he doesn't succeed."

Carville was joined by Democratic pollster Stanley Greenberg, who seemed encouraged by a survey he had just completed that revealed public misgivings about the newly minted president.

"We rush into these focus groups with these doubts that people have about him, and I'm wanting them to turn against him," Greenberg admitted.

Carville and Greenberg are the ones who came up with the poll and plan to attack Rush, "explicitly endorsed" by Obama senior adviser David Axelrod. Pardon me if I don't buy into their outrage over Rush wanting Obama's policies to fail.

Carville and Greenberg speak with sneering arrogance; and their alleged complaint with Limbaugh is, what?

progunr · Mar 11, 2009, 01:53 PM

It is all simply a ploy, to take the attention off all of Obama's real
Problems.

He would much rather we all be talking about this instead of the
Real issues and how much positive effect he has had on the situation
With our economy and the stock market.

speechlesstx · Mar 11, 2009, 02:09 PM

Yep, and all that confidence we've gotten from him not worrying about the "day to day gyrations" of the market and having "more than enough to do without having to worry the financial system" has gotten us where exactly?

Rush "Pub" Limbaugh is to be heard from for pure entertainment purposes only. Just a quick listen to the fat windbag of $h!t and you know he's that's paid to stir havoc among the faithfully bored disciples of the uneducated. He's not the only one as the Dems have their idiot politico mamzer evangelists also. There are throngs of people listening to propaganda crackpot types on the radio (and cable outlets) and they are due for more failure in their own lives. Hell most of them voted for Dubya twice and some of them spend hours everyday on forums such as this one.

It is sad that Rush Limbaugh has become such a joke. I remember reading his book "the way things ought to be" which came out in the early 90s and it was filled with intelligent opinions and discussion. Now he is just relying on insults and juvenile put-downs to be heard. He really could have been an asset to the GOP if he had taken the high road but now he is nearly as bad as Ann Coulter.

Just like Carville, Begala, Axelrod and Emanuel - "Obama's brains."

Amazing how many libs listen to and repeat the talking points put out by Carvill and the rest of the Clinton smear machine. Guess Nobama learned one thing from Clinton. That was when you are in trouble, spread vicious rumors about conservatives and lie through your teeth about it!

No. Carville and Begala was "Hillary's brains." They spent most of the Democratic primary campaign trying to bash in Axelrod's (Obama's) brain. Emanuel for all practical purposes was reserved atop Obama's spinal column, called upon in lesser frequency.

I tune him out and listen to music. However I can only imagine that being invited over for Thanksgiving dinner at the Carville's house is so civilized being that James, a hardened Dem, and his wife is a Pub. But hey! They seem to make it work.

BTW, Limbaugh, for all his media skills, lacks the same communication fortitude to make a relationship work. Apparently Rush is not so pleasant to be around even when he's not broadcasting propaganda.

What has that got to do with anything?

I remember when the Dems weren't concerned about the shenanagans going on in the oval office, and Bill's extramarital affairs were defended as "normal".

Hello again, gal:

You miss the point. The Dem's don't parade themselves around as the party of what's moral and what's not like Republicans do. It's just kind of hypocritical, doncha think?

Here's the deal, gal. I don't have anything against somebody who gets into trouble using drugs. Then again, I don't get into trouble with drugs, and get on the radio and tell the world that people who get into trouble with drugs should go to prison - except me.

I also don't have anything against anybody who fails at marriage three times. Then again, I don't proclaim marriage to be the bedrock of our society, and it can't be defiled by gays.

Nope. I don't do any of those things. Why?? Because I ain't no hypocrite!
