Limbaugh: ‘I Hope Obama Fails’
Limbaugh: ‘I Hope Obama Fails’
“Are conservative talk-show hosts eager to go on the attack, after years of defending Bush?” asks the Louisville Courier-Journal’s Larry Muhammad. The answer is clearly yes.
Barack Obama has not yet taken office, and Rush Limbaugh is already rooting for his failure. On his radio show last Friday, Limbaugh said, “I disagree fervently with the people on our [Republican] side of the aisle who have caved and who say, ‘Well, I hope he succeeds.’”
Limbaugh told his listeners that he was asked by “a major American print publication” to offer a 400-word statement explaining his “hope for the Obama presidency.” He responded:
So I’m thinking of replying to the guy, “Okay, I’ll send you a response, but I don’t need 400 words, I need four: I hope he fails.” (interruption) What are you laughing at? See, here’s the point. Everybody thinks it’s outrageous to say. Look, even my staff, “Oh, you can’t do that.” Why not? Why is it any different, what’s new, what is unfair about my saying I hope liberalism fails? Liberalism is our problem. Liberalism is what’s gotten us dangerously close to the precipice here. Why do I want more of it? I don’t care what the Drive-By story is. I would be honored if the Drive-By Media headlined me all day long: “Limbaugh: I Hope Obama Fails.” Somebody’s gotta say it.
It hasn’t taken long for Limbaugh to reveal his core hypocrisy. In July 2006, with conservatives in power, Limbaugh offered one of his common screeds against the left. “I’m getting so sick and tired of people rooting for the defeat of the good guys,” he complained.
During the Clinton presidency in the 90s, Limbaugh would begin his show with a gimmick, purporting to count the days America had been “held hostage.” In May 2007, Limbaugh recalled:
Back when Clinton was inaugurated in 1993 and we began our America Held Hostage countdown, the number of days left until Clinton was gone so we’d all be released from bondage, the joke, do you remember how mad the liberals got at that? Do you remember how mad the Drive-Bys got at that? Then they started running stories how I, Rush Limbaugh, was destroying the respect for the office of the presidency that the American people had.
A disastrous Bush presidency has come and gone, but some things haven’t changed a bit.

January 20th, 2009 at 10:04 amThe local newspaper’s letters to the editor this morning included a couple of dittoheads whining about how Obama snookered the electorate. Limbaugh and his sheep would much prefer the nation to sink into economic chaos and Depression than to concede that liberal policies can work. There is simply no way to reach them.

January 20th, 2009 at 10:09 amTo even think of the likes of the man is sickening.
To wish failure on Obama is to wish failure on America – for partisan reasons from the most vile spewer of hate on the airwaves.
Please take him away.
My fellow TPers, as I embark on a joyous, historical occasion, I thank each and everyone of you for a wonderful ride, that began 8 years ago with the worst. president. ever.
January 20th, 2009 at 10:10 amAnd continues today with the swearing in of OUR 44th president, Barack Hussein Obama!
Today, I will only entertain one negative thought, as even the likes of OxyContin breath will not distract me from today’s event.
So, here goes.
Dear Rush (and I mean this most sincerely):
As a true American that believes in unity, I suggest you pretend I’m a young Dominican boy, and SUCK IT!
There. That’s done. Hope everyone enjoys today. I know I will!
You know what I hope???
I hope we have another “Act of God” and Limbaugh DROPS DEAD like Jerry Falwell!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ANOTHER FAT, OVERBLOWN PIECE OF GARBAGE!!!!!!!!!!!!
SOMEBODY’S GOTTA SAY IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
January 20th, 2009 at 10:11 amThe Coleman campaign provided just 20 precincts with anomalous voting errors, as listed in Exhibit C, but based upon my work there appears to be 351 precincts which meet the Coleman campaign’s classification, and likely the correct interpretation of double counted votes. I’ve compiled a comprehensive list of Minnesota’s 4130 precincts and the ad-hoc absentee ballot precinct into a series of tables, detailing these voting anomalies.

January 20th, 2009 at 10:14 amOf course he thinks this! It’s Rush Limbaugh, and the 3 million ppl that listen to his garbage on a daily basis. Liberalism is not the problem. Clear Channel should be boycotted, and any other station that carries his program. He is paid ungodly amounts of money to spew his vile comments. He’s a fat runaway train. Anyone who listens to him has some serious character flaws!
January 20th, 2009 at 10:16 amLimbaugh sits in his castle with his cat, with all of the money in the world, unable to make any of his marriages work, (how about those family values)and lives with the shame of becoming a drug addict that took away his hearing.
He’s a man rich in dollars but has nothing but hate in his heart. He’s a sad pathetic human being.

And if Coleman hadn’t tried to cherry pick the precincts, he might have gotten all 351 recounted, again. But as it were, Coleman just shot himself in the foot w/ that strategy. What is your point? Franken is the winner at this time. Tooooo bad.
January 20th, 2009 at 10:19 amOf course Limbaugh hopes Obama fails, it’s the only, only way that the republicans could conceivably get any power back; to pray that Obama’s performance is as sucky as bush’s.
It’s the republican/corporate way of ‘competition:’ You don’t provide a superior product, you hamstring, discredit or wish ill upon the opposition’s superior product.
Republicans are verminous parasites, hoping to weaken the host so they can feed…
January 20th, 2009 at 10:19 amWhy do conservatives HATE AMERICA SO?
January 20th, 2009 at 10:20 amHe’s doing no more than articulating the strategic vision of the Con/Pukes.
If they want ever again to exert the kinds of influence they have for the past 8–and arguably the past 25–years, then the people HAVE to be worse off in 4 years than they are today (hard as that is to imagine, it is not only possible by likely, given the conditions–economic, international, global– prevalent at this time.
If the Pukes are to make a comeback–and they threw the election to ensure that they could–then the USofA has to fail. The Pukes are quite content that that should happen…they’ll pick up the wreckage of Obama/Dim efforts to repair the Bushit catastrophes…
It ain’t gonna be pretty, but I fear it’s damn near inevitable…

We’ve worked so hard for this day, can we please focus on what we’ve accomplished rather than the unnecessary negativity spewed by the pathetic losers?
Today should be a celebration, not a day focused on the marginalized minority of people (and I use that term loosely) who will never be happy, and prefer that no one else is either.
Congratulations fellow liberals! America will remain a Democracy after all thanks to all of our hard work and refusal to cave into the insults, and threats.
For the first time in my adult life, I am truly proud of my country.

We can make a lot of progress in four years, and I’m willing to bet that we will – not because I don’t get it or am naive as you always suggest – but because of what we accomplished in the last four years. We just got a black socially liberal man elected President. Doesn’t that count for anything with you? Sheesh….
January 20th, 2009 at 10:27 amIn the Update:
I thought the “flipside” of hope was despair. And the opposite of fear is bravery, right?
Fred has never been the sharpest knife in the drawer.
January 20th, 2009 at 10:28 amHe’s not the only one rooting for him to fail. Then again, the lone voice so far on my AM dial to want that has been a “sports reporter”.
Look, for the past eight years, I have been praying that we succeed under Bush. I gave the guy a chance. Now it’s your turn, Mr. Comedian. Take your castor oil like a good little boy, or else that whiny expression on your face is going to stay that way for the next four to eight years.

January 20th, 2009 at 10:31 amFck Limbaugh and anyone who listens to the drugged up pus gut.
January 20th, 2009 at 10:31 amI do think this is worth reporting on because too many MSM goofballs give Limbaugh a pass because of his influence, money and fame.
Showing the hypocracy of his supposed “patriotic” stance to support the president is on full display now as he wishes only REPUBLICAN conservative presidents well and all others to fail. No matter what that may mean to the United States.
January 20th, 2009 at 10:32 amWhy is it any different, what’s new, what is unfair about my saying I hope liberalism fails? Liberalism is our problem. Liberalism is what’s gotten us dangerously close to the precipice here. Why do I want more of it?
First, I understand my fellow TP regulars who would rather not have today marred by the likes of this fat, pedophilic Republican water carrier, but he is the most-listened to Hate Radio Jock in the country, and to help our fellow citizens understand the errors in their thinking, it helps to know what they’re listening to. Remember, “Radical Right-Wing Agenda” is one of the things that TP is fighting against, so they have to cover it. And I, for one, am glad they did.
Limbaugh is trying to make his woefully ill-informed listeners believe that we are in the midst of: two wars being fought at great expense, and with little overall purpose or strategy; unemployment at the highest it’s been in most of our lifetimes, where even our major auto manufacturers are about to shut down; major financial institutions about to collapse owing mostly to lack of regulation on the part of the government; and somehow this is all because of Liberalism? We are at this precipice because of anti-Liberalism policies. We need to help people understand that.
January 20th, 2009 at 10:33 amEven on this day, we must not forget that these despicable people have not gone away. Almost one quarter of the public still supports George W. Bush. They are not blind. They understand the devastation Bush and his cabal have wrought upon our country, but they do not care. They care only for the power of their political party. These people are Republicans first, and Americans only in the sense that their Republican Party is located within the physical boundaries of the United States. As we move forward in this new era, we must not forget that the people who caused our current problems will continue to fight all progress. The struggle to save our country has only begun. It will be long and arduous, but we must prevail.

“… he’s actually the lone voice of chicken SH*T.”

January 20th, 2009 at 10:37 amRush and Ken Blackwell should get together, if they haven’t already, and discuss how much they hate America.
You know, even though many of us predicted that W would be a disastrous president, I don’t remember hearing anyone saying “I hope he fails.” I’m pretty sure that all of us really hoped to be proven wrong in our trepidation about an inarticulate, spoiled, already-proven-to-be-a-failure faux cowboy occupying the White House.
January 20th, 2009 at 10:38 amThis is proof positive of how severe a beating Rush deserves. I will volunteer to administer it.

You’re still relevant, and definitely not a hypocrite. Honest.
January 20th, 2009 at 10:42 am“Liberalism is what’s gotten us dangerously close to the precipice here.”
What in the hell? LIBERALISM is to blame for our problems? Give me a fracking break.
Was it liberals who ignored the PDB entitled “Bin Laden Determined to Strike in the United States”?
Was is liberals who ignored the evidence about WMDs in Iraq, kicked out the inspectors before they were done working so that the attack could begin, and overthrow a government that posed no significant threat to the United States?
Was it liberals who have failed to capture Osama bin Laden after declaring that he’s wanted dead or alive?
Was it liberals who so deregulated the financial industry and other key sectors of the economy that a collapse was inevitable?
I could go on and on and on. If Limbaugh thinks that liberalism is to blame, then he needs to come up with some real examples. Try again, dittohead!!
January 20th, 2009 at 10:45 amThere is only one way back into power for the Pukes.
January 20th, 2009 at 10:46 amThat is if Obama and the Dims fail to get a handle on the clusterphucks that are the legacy of Bushism.
Power is the only thing that matters.
It is naive to think otherwise.
If “America” has to fail so that the Puke/Con axis can return to power, they will work to see to it the Obama/Dims fail.
Pres. O will be the lackey of the moneyed interests, though he may work harder to conceal the fact than did the Busheviks, or Raygun…
If Obama were NOT completely reliable on that score, he wouldn’t be where hi is today.
I agree we should discuss this – just not today. Tomorrow or the day after would still be effective.
January 20th, 2009 at 10:47 amOh, well, Zooey. May I suggest you listen to some “cheery” music, instead? ;)
January 20th, 2009 at 10:48 amSomeone that hopes for failure hopes for more terrorist attacks, which means hoping for harm to this country. Sounds like an enemy combatant.

Optimism isn’t naivete. No matter how you feel about the person taking office today – and I’ve been critical of him many times during this transition period – you have to at least be proud of the historical significance of this day.
On this day, for the 43rd time in our country’s 220+ year history, power will be transferred from one leader to the next – without a coup, without a shot fired, without a monarchic succession. That’s something to be proud of.
The fact that 80% of the population is optimistic about this transition of power – that’s something to be proud of. The fact that Americans are starting to feel good about our democracy again – that’s something to be proud of, and something the world needs to see.

We need to pressure our new President and his Cabinet to not allow these moneyed interests to control the government. If Obama isn’t going to do it, the people need to.

These contributions can come from the organization’s members or employees (and their families). The organization may support one candidate, or hedge its bets by supporting multiple candidates. Groups with national networks of donors – like EMILY’s List and Club for Growth – make for particularly big bundlers.

And where did UBS and the other corporate interests get that money?
From us. The people. The consumers of this country and the rest of the world.
I fully agree with you that our current two-party system just enforces the status quo of the corporatocracy. But it’s ludicrous to expect the government to change that system, no matter who is in power.
If we don’t like what the government is doing at the behest of corporations, and if we don’t like what our corporations are doing with the permission of our government, then it is up to we – the people and the consumers – to petition, to peaceably assemble, to boycott, to lobby our government and our corporations to behave better.
January 20th, 2009 at 11:10 amDr.Matt, since you are the resident stats guy, isn’t it true that the majority of non-individual contributions to Obama came after he became the front runner? Corporations are certainly very involved in giving to campaigns and, thereby, attempting to gain influence. However, it would not surprise me that most of their contributions came late in the game to get into the game, as opposed to early as a means of controlling the outcome.
January 20th, 2009 at 11:11 amI think I speak for most folks on the planet…Rush, we all hope you VANISH !!
January 20th, 2009 at 11:12 amRush made millions when Clinton was in office–he likely found the past 8 years it was less lucrative propping up a failed Republican President than bashing a popular Democratic one. You can bet Rush voted for Obama–it was fiscally the only choice for him.

Optimism is the secular equivalent of religious faith: the anticipation of a promised but unlikely–even an impossible–end if only one thinks positively enough (prays).
I don’t do “faith” either…

No, it’s not. Optimism and faith are quite different.
Optimism is the recognition of a possibility of positive outcome, and at any given moment there is always a possibility of positive outcome, provable by the positive resolution of a collapsing singularity of possibility. Faith is by definition an ineffable belief in the unprovable.
The difference is that, with optimism, we can do something to tip the odds. Faith, by definition, is out of our hands.
January 20th, 2009 at 11:24 amCollected %50,000? LOL Obama collected billions!
January 20th, 2009 at 11:26 amthats awesome rush! cause i hope someone sees you walking down the street and shoots you in the face.
maybe you could wheel cheney out and you and him can go hunting.
January 20th, 2009 at 11:26 amI hope Mr. Limbaugh finally discovers his heart.
January 20th, 2009 at 11:27 amI’m going to go watch the fanfare, and all that follows now.
Congrats again liberals!
January 20th, 2009 at 11:27 am30 MINUTES TO GO
January 20th, 2009 at 11:29 amI hope Rush chokes on the next pizzle he sucks.
January 20th, 2009 at 11:29 amSince when did that fathead’s opinion EVER matter?
January 20th, 2009 at 11:30 amAccording to Rush, true patriots tear their country apart and never, ever stop attacking their fellow citizens.
January 20th, 2009 at 11:35 amNuthin’ of consequence happening here today obviously (must have had this post written days ago…)
Computer off, TV on.
C-ya l8r.

January 20th, 2009 at 11:37 am20 more minutes
January 20th, 2009 at 11:39 amFor about 15 minutes President Botch has a new VP named Joe Biden. Why can’t Joe after saying “I do,” just confess the crimes of the Botch admin which he is temporarily a member of until Obama is sworn in. That would be nice.
January 20th, 2009 at 11:44 amThe Oxymoron is a disgusting piece of filth. Spewing hatred and bile like a marginally bright jr High bully is the only thing he has ever been capable of. It would be silly to expect any decency from the man. He doesnt have any
January 20th, 2009 at 11:46 amI just wonder if his listeners understand his position – especially the ones with 401k’s.
He’s hoping the stock market tanks and robs them of a bunch more of their life’s savings.
What a bunch of chumps.
January 20th, 2009 at 11:52 amCongratulations, President Obama!!!
January 20th, 2009 at 12:03 pmCongratulation, President Obama!!!
January 20th, 2009 at 12:04 pmI can’t believe that you still have this hateful bigot’s face at the top of the threads! Congratulations President Obama!

If Obama fails – we all fail.
Honestly, I think we need to remember the face of hate as we welcome the face of hope…
January 20th, 2009 at 12:26 pmNow, to those of you, wherever you are, that think someone is setting off fireworks in celebration, that’s actually the sound of pointy little heads ’sploding all over the country.
I know, sounds like hail on a tin roof, or actual gunfire… but no… it’s just the sound of wingnut pinheads going off, left and right.
Kinda like music, innit?
Woo woo woo… listen to the music…
Woo woo woo… listen to the music…
January 20th, 2009 at 12:26 pmIT’S OVER! The obscene reign of terror by the Bushies is now officially DONE.
I feel like a Parisian being liberated from the Boche’ in 1944.

You stay classy, drug addict!!!
January 20th, 2009 at 12:45 pmRepublican hate democracy and want America to fail. This is news? Every Republican administration tries to destroy our greatness.
January 20th, 2009 at 12:48 pmLimpdick should get a visit from the Secret Service and be arrested for treason. This is my prayer.
If Limbaugh hopes that Obama fails, that means he hopes the country fails, because if Obama fails so will this country. I believe that makes Limbaugh a TRAITOR.
January 20th, 2009 at 12:49 pmMay George W Bush get the justice that he so richly deserves. Nothing more, nothing less.
Good bye you f’in asshat!
January 20th, 2009 at 12:53 pmI heard the crowd singin’

when Bush’s helicopter left the grounds.
Once again the Dominican Underage Boy abuser proves that Repukes hate America and want to destroy it at any cost.
January 20th, 2009 at 1:08 pmRush the Entertainer just got what he wants; millions of words of free publicity.
(Will probably want to renegotiate his contract, too.)
Only in Amerrika.
January 20th, 2009 at 1:13 pmI really wish that this human anal cyst’s heart would burst while he is sucking on a cigar or when the lard a$$ is doing an under aged male prostitute in the Dominican Republic on his next sexcation.
January 20th, 2009 at 1:37 pmThis is Rush’s preemptive strike to gain listeners as February sweeps gets close.
Sure, he does believe the absolute crap he spills. But he doesn’t get paid millions of dollars to not stir the GOP stew, rat feces, carcasses and all.
Then again, he wants Democrats to fail just as much as he likes those investors tours through third world sweatshops in Miami and New York City.
January 20th, 2009 at 1:38 pmI hope Rush loses all his money and ends his sad life as a Wal-Mart greeter just to eat. THAT would be justice.
January 20th, 2009 at 1:40 pmThe “Obesity” of Dope!
January 20th, 2009 at 1:41 pmOnce an addict, always an addict.Rush is infantile, “Naaa, Naaa, I hope you fail.

JUST SHOWS HOW PATHETIC AND DESPARATE THIS CLOWN IS TO MAKE A HEADLINE !!!
January 20th, 2009 at 1:43 pmI’m not sure if someone has mentioned this – but for this disgusting piece of rat crap to utter such despicable words on this incredible day, he is hoping for the failure of our entire country. What a selfish oaf!
January 20th, 2009 at 1:48 pmI think it is time for TP and all progressives to put Limbaugh and all the trash that comes out of his filthy head in the loser/flake cabinet. Let’s move ahead and ignore this worm. His goal is to antagonize to people’s attention. Whatever comes out of his mouth will be irrelevant from now on.
January 20th, 2009 at 1:50 pmBooosh didn’t pardon any of his intimates because that would have negated their capacity to decline to testify on 5th Amendment grounds. Pardoned, they couldn’t decline to testify, should the ever be invited to do so–a likelihood to me of about .05%, in any event; better safe than testifying, though……
January 20th, 2009 at 2:00 pmWhy would you want your Country to fail?????? He needs to move away from America…..we don’t want Rush here! Go Away you fool!
January 20th, 2009 at 2:00 pmIs someone speaking? I thought I heard a noise but guess not.
January 20th, 2009 at 2:04 pmYou hope President Obama fails . .
Well FATSO, I hope the feds find your STASH of Oxicondin hidden in your underground bunker . .
I mean, let’s face it FATSO, the feds clocked you as having copped over 100,000 ‘blues’ between your Wilma, her husband and your five doctors writing you legal prescriptions to your five pharmacies for your ‘back problems’ or was is that Vietnam era cyst still on your ass . .
January 20th, 2009 at 2:05 pmYou know what you call Rush Limbaugh and the 22% of Americans that still felt Bush was doing a good job?
Irrelevant
January 20th, 2009 at 2:12 pmMaybe someone at TP can explain why Rush Limbaugh’s talking points deserve a place on this site on this historic occasion.
January 20th, 2009 at 2:20 pmRush Limbaugh makes my stomach roll. What a truly unpatriotic thing to say. Our country needs to unite now, and comments like his are fodder for those who yearn to take us down.
January 20th, 2009 at 2:22 pmLimpballs can bite the big one.
He’s just mad he didn’t get invited to Obama’s party like all the cool kids.
January 20th, 2009 at 2:22 pmRUSH for Secretary of State!!
January 20th, 2009 at 2:23 pmNow that it’s been leaked HC wasn’t even the first choice, but Joe the plumber was Hah!! What a wannabe leeching off her husbands coattails or more likely his cigar blunts!!!
Poor Rush he’s probably seeing his audience shrinking and therefore his revenues….
YAY!
January 20th, 2009 at 2:25 pmWell, well. Good to see the liberal socialist havent changed tactics since the election. I am not by any means a fan of limbaugh but, as usual the extreme liberal press twist the truth to make it work. I just reveiwed what he said and had co-workers listen as well. What he said was that he hopes president obama fails at getting the tax increases, closing the base in cuba, and generally not succeeding at certain policies. This irresponsible reporting, not telling the whole truth, is what is so disgraceful. While I am in agreement with the new president on many things, I also disagree with some.Does that mean that I hope he fails? Be responsible people. This is a very dangerous game your playing with the truth…
January 20th, 2009 at 2:27 pmUmm, folks,
I think its time to send former President George Bush along with his supporters and corporate lobbyists to the insane hospital for treatment. Limbaugh the Bushite needs to have his mind checked for he is looney. He has serious problems in his mindset. Besides, I am an multi racial. Limbaugh is a disgrace to the american people. I am so happy we finally waited to get George bush out of office. I am poor like everyone else trying to make ends meet. Please Rush Limbaugh, take your assets and dissolve them and return to the American people. To the companies, Come back to USA and help the american people to get this country back in shape. to the Feds, dissolved and let USA government print the money and come down as a citizen, name brand companies who born in usa, Please bring our good paying jobs back home. lets all nationalize the USA. This will bring a turnaround for the America. God bless America. Amen
January 20th, 2009 at 2:31 pmIM with you Rush I hope he fails too. I would rather have 12 years of Bush then 4 years of (obama) bin laden or what ever his name is. Yes 4 years, because thats all he’ll get. After impeachment
January 20th, 2009 at 2:33 pmWe shouldn’t WANT any President to fail! It’s sad that we have a media that is so one sided (each side!) that they want the other to fail so they can look better…..and gain more power. And who suffers…..AMERICANS!
January 20th, 2009 at 2:33 pmYou ignorant Obama worshippers, I’m so sick of you. Limbaugh has every right as an American citizen to state how he feels if you don’t like it too bad! Why do you worship Obama? He has no political track record, he’s used crack, he smokes..Why?? Because he’s black and you feel guilty? You’re pathetic if you people insist on worshipping Obama that’s your right but don’t put people down for NOT feeling the same way. You’re like hypocritical christians “We love you only if you believe in the same God we believe in” Put a sock in it you damn liberal whiners! For the first time in my life I’m ashamed of America. Obama is just another BUM looking for change!
January 20th, 2009 at 2:34 pmYou stare into the abyss long enough, Rush Limbaugh stares back.
January 20th, 2009 at 2:34 pmPersonally, I hate liberal democrats…
Especially the way liberal democrats can dish it out, but can’t take it.
Facts are:
1. The government cannot rescue the economy.
2. The government and the liberal democrats and AFL CIO and UAW destroyed this nation.
3. Democrats who passed the laws regulating the lending institutions to give out loans to people without real jobs destroyed thsi nation.
4. Democrats who forced the passage of hundreds of laws regulating USA mfg and saving snails in the desert have destroyed this nation.
Okay.. enough of that…
Mealer Companies is the way to get to where we are going.
I have the economic plan which was refused by McCain’s campaign team because i called him progressive as in teddy Rooslevelt progressive…
It’s all about jobs.
Saving the US economy will COME ONLY FROM THE PRIVATE SECTOR.
Mealer American Motors Corp., Mealer Companies LLC, Mealer Electronics.. these are the neginning of the healing and we need much more USA mfg to cure the problem.
We do want to have and to work at good jobs, don’t we?
January 20th, 2009 at 2:36 pmEnjoy your new Amerika Comrades!
January 20th, 2009 at 2:37 pmshawnb sounds as if he has a double lip lock on the lard assed, drug addled, gas bag. He even speaks in all caps…a dead give away for reichwingnuts.
January 20th, 2009 at 2:37 pmSo much for the respect of the office that rethugs used to trumpet. Pig, I hope you clutch your fat chest, feel your bladder let go, fall on your ugly face and leave the world a better place.
January 20th, 2009 at 2:38 pmWhat a tool. Rush, that evil ho Ann Coulter, and that other evil snatch Michelle Malkin should all be put in a cage with rabid, hungry wolves..although Coulter is so anorexic they’d only have bones to gnaw..and they’d get a contact buzz from Rush’s pills..and burn their lips on Malkin’s acid filled body..ugh

What a friggin idiot. I hope you fail…oh wait, you already have you effin loser
January 20th, 2009 at 2:45 pmSo…? What else did we expect from that very small man but ugliness and hatred?
January 20th, 2009 at 2:45 pmHow soon till Amerika comrades gets said again?
January 20th, 2009 at 2:45 pmComing back from my gym this morning, I ’scanned’ the AM band here looking for NPR and landed (LAST TIME) on a live R. Limberger analysis of the last few hours…. I have never heard such hate being beamed out over the AM radio airwaves – ever.
It’s clearly a time when Limberger feels the most vulnerable but this seemed a little over the edge.
I’m sure that his garbage will last for a while but there has GOT to be a way that we can rid ourselves of this kind of vile for good..This guy is out of control.
January 20th, 2009 at 2:48 pmCome on, folks. What can you expect from a person who harvests dog turds from his laws and puts them in his mouth?
January 20th, 2009 at 2:48 pmAMEN RUSH, AMEN!
January 20th, 2009 at 2:48 pmFor a bunch of “tolerant” liberals I see nothing but a bunch of intolerant hateful comments

January 20th, 2009 at 2:52 pmYou liberals are idiots!!!!
How many of you liberals could use about $500 dollars in your pockets right now, hmmmm? Well, why don’t you ask your new president why he is spending millions of dollars to “party”
while us commonfolk are stressing out in this horrible economy
(says your new wonderful president) trying to make ends meet!!
Wake up, how is he going to help you make ends meet!!
January 20th, 2009 at 2:53 pmSeems like the Liberals are already feeling the heat. A new but inexperienced leader has spoken to his supports and told them he is doing it his way and on his schedule. Maybe the Big Money poured into his campaign by the bankers who are using our TARP funds to support the Democrats, is now starting to float the Dems Boat and the leaks will eventually scuttle this Ship of State. So my vote goes to those in the House and Senate who have enough strength to do the “right” thing and block all the new Governmant welfare programs and get every one back to the real jobs that are begging to be filled. Miners, Truck drivers, Railroad equipment workers and train engineers just to name a few.
May God Bless our Republic….
January 20th, 2009 at 2:54 pmRush is back on pills. He needs to go to one of those Liberal drug rehab centers.
January 20th, 2009 at 2:56 pmpv361 Says:
For a bunch of “tolerant” liberals I see nothing but a bunch of intolerant hateful comments
I believe it was Bill Maher who recently observed, something to the effect of, being tolerant does not mean you have to tolerate intolerance. Rush Limbaugh, the King of Hate Radio, is the embodiment of intolerance. He and his ilk should be denounced at every turn, because they have nothing constructive to say about anything. They only know how to destroy.
January 20th, 2009 at 2:56 pmmy ends meet. The key is just to live a simple life
January 20th, 2009 at 2:56 pmObamasucks . .
ROFLMAO, President Obama smokes and that makes him unfit to be POTUS [you know, YOU'RE why some people should just go to the movies on election day]
Here SUCK on this Bubble ‘ARROGANCE’:
Bush’s final assessment: 34 percent approval
Gallup released its last poll on President George W. Bush’s approval rating today and the results, if you’re the president, aren’t pretty. Bush leaves office with just 34 percent of Americans approving of the job he’s done as president. 61 percent disapprove.
Bush doesn’t seem fazed by such math. In an interview that aired last night on CNN, he was asked by Larry King how he feels about his low numbers.
“I don’t give a darn,” Bush responded.
January 20th, 2009 at 2:58 pmI’m sure my right-wing buddy who listens faithfully to Limbaugh will be able to explain to me how Rush was quoted out of context and what he really meant.
January 20th, 2009 at 2:59 pmThe repub shills are in dire need of some rhetorical Viagra. Rusty the Steatopygic Junkie has become the proverbial butter knife brought to the gunfight. Adipose impotence embodied.
January 20th, 2009 at 3:00 pmQuit hate’n on a “Brother” You should hang out with Bush he’s the failure!!!!!!!! You look fat and tired with that cigar sticking out like that or is that Bush’s ***k your sucking…. Today is the day of CHANGE and a CHANGE has COME God Bless the OBAMA’S!!!!! Go ahead OBAMA do your thang… Show them how we get down…… My family is on your side…
ME
January 20th, 2009 at 3:04 pm~snicker~Even now! Even now that you’ve got the mulatto savior sworn in, you can’t stop hating anyone who holds a different thought than you do. Are you kidding me?! You’re worried what Rush said about NObama’s presidency?! For eight LONG years libs and the press demonized Bush and made sure that no one would ever see him in a positive light. The left has held open warfare on the right, on Bush, on America, on all things conservative, and refused to admit that hate is what drove your ideology. When an entertainer on the right openly suggests that he isn’t going to cave to the left’s demand that NObama be given some measure of support for his success, you squeal like the pigs you are. You won’t let yourselves enjoy your victory. It’s not in your nature to be happy. Fcuk NObama, fcuk you leftist idiots, and fcuk anyone on the right who wants to “just get along.”
January 20th, 2009 at 3:05 pmYou prople are stupid !!!!
January 20th, 2009 at 3:05 pmYour jerk or sorry Mr Hussein AKA president Of The U.S. could not even recite the oath of office. That shows that his heart is not with the american people. I hope you all know how to speak Chinse, or russian.
I didn’t vote for Obama, but doesn’t mean that I won’t suppose our new president. Like he said, there is hope for this country and we need to pick ourself up. Limbaugh, let hope your career will fail this year. Better yet, should be ended soon. You should be out of this country.
January 20th, 2009 at 3:06 pmaww, he’s suddenly concerned about out of control spending……too late loser.
January 20th, 2009 at 3:06 pmWell, because saying the most OUTRAGEOUS, INSULTING, thing gets a lot of publicity and attention. And he needs ratings and OxyContin. Was he high when he responded with this trash? If President Obama fails, we all fail. Stupid.
January 20th, 2009 at 3:08 pmI see they’re sending out the really classy trolls today.
You do your side proud, mrsnead.
January 20th, 2009 at 3:09 pmSeems to me, that for the last 8 years there has not a kind word been spoken of the Bush and republican administration, now you want everyone to be TOLERANT. Double standards as usual. You can dish it out but you can’t take it.
January 20th, 2009 at 3:09 pmOBAMA understands the world He’ll do good after the HOTT MESSES BUSH made everything will still be fine OBAMA has it… “we’re good at what we do” we never let you see us sweat… We’re strong people and we know how to handle business….
ME
January 20th, 2009 at 3:10 pmWow, just Wow, the right wing nuts are out and the sour grapes are rotting…..
Yay OBAMA.
January 20th, 2009 at 3:10 pmWOW, LIBERALS ARE NASTY HORRIBLE PEOPLE. CHANGE IS WHAT WE NEED ALRIGHT BUT NOT IN THE DIRECTION OF THESE IGNORANT PEOPLE. I HOPE YOUR NEW PRESIDENT DOES NOT HAVE THE MINDSET THAT ALL OF THESE LIBERALS HAVE IN THESE COMMENTS.
I KNOW YOU ALL HAVE HEARTS USE THEM!!
January 20th, 2009 at 3:10 pmRush is going down….just tuned into a conservative radio station and found that Rush has been replaced. He can now only be found on one of the 4 stations in my area.
You do not have to listen to him too long to figure out he is back on the drugs… a problem which will escalate with every failure and station pull out.
January 20th, 2009 at 3:11 pmHey Limbaugh why you sit back with another big ol bottle of vicoden and relax cause that’s what George Bush and the republican party’s been doin for the last 8 years you fat ass moron

January 20th, 2009 at 3:12 pmThat’s kind of funny that a poster who refers to the duly-elected and overwhelmingly popular President of the United States as “the mulatto savior” accuses others of “hating anyone who holds a different thought than you”.
Of course, since NOBAMA SUPPORTER doesn’t hold a thought in his head, he doesn’t qualify as one of those who is hated.

The left would rather dismiss you as a troll, then debate. A sure sign the leftists are losers and wrong.
January 20th, 2009 at 3:12 pm
Okay, LTdan. Let’s discuss your previous statement. You believe that Rush Limbaugh is a “voice of reason”? In what way is it reasonable to wish the incoming president failure? Please explain. Thank you.
January 20th, 2009 at 3:15 pmWhen you offer a reasonable thought as a topic for serious debate, and can conduct yourself with some dignity and respect, maybe you won’t get dismissed as a troll so quickly.
…and touting Rush Limbaugh as a “voice of reason” doesn’t really qualify as such a topic.
Nor does blaming our new president for a mistake by the Chief Justice.
Also calling our new president “scumbag” will get you branded as a troll quicker than almost anything.

January 20th, 2009 at 3:17 pmI want America to succeed! And it will not succeed if our new President and Congress pass the FOCA!
January 20th, 2009 at 3:18 pmYa gots to love these folks defending America. The mightiest, strongest nation to ever exist on the planet has managed to keep these terrorists at bay. A country with a population of 250+ billion, one that used to have the strongest economy and military can contain a couple thousand third world folk.
Seven years of heightened concern and awareness. Billions spent, millions killed and the US has not experienced a 2nd terrorist attack. Ignoring the fact that the 1st happened on the last President’s watch.
Be very afraid, America. The camel may replace the chicken in every stewpot. And someday, the (used to be) richest nation on earth might actually give a rat’s derriere about how it treats its own citizens.
January 20th, 2009 at 3:19 pmOBAMA WILL SUCCEED IN EVERYWAY…. TO THE HATERS “DON’T HATE THE PLAYER HATE THE GAME” WE GOT THE BALL!!! NOW WHAT? SIT DOWN CHILL OUT AND LET HIM DO THIS….

January 20th, 2009 at 3:19 pmWayne A. Schneider, mrsnead has given you a vivid demonstration of the ability of the right wing to create its own reality.
No wonder they’re scared. They’re going to have to deal with the Reality-Based Community now.
January 20th, 2009 at 3:19 pmHow come we haven’t seen Rush on some of the finer cable programs like “All You Can Eat For $$$” and “Celebrity Rehab”?
It’s obvious the guy’s views won’t land him a job outside of Faux News Channel, but they’re top-heavy with crazies as is.
He needs to spread his bad news through self exploitation…it’s his only hope to stay relevant now.
January 20th, 2009 at 3:20 pmI wonder if this Algonquin round table of trolldom suspect that there might be more to life than defending a fat junkie with instant cocoa marshmallows for testes.

She’s making no sense whatsoever.
Of course, making sense has never been a prerequisite for being a troll… and today they’re especially unnerved.
January 20th, 2009 at 3:24 pmSo he wants Obama to fail. Perhaps it is because he knows Obama has a chance to succeed. He hopes Obama fails, because his own party failed America. Typical for someone to spew negativity on a person who has a chance to bring on change for the good. Someone needs to super glue his mouth shut :-D This comment has nothing to do with this story but,his picture is just as annoying as his radio voice…AAaack!
January 20th, 2009 at 3:24 pmWow, look at all of the insightful, well-thought-out arguments these new visitors here are giving in defense of Saint Rush. They’re way too intelligent and eloquent for anyone to debate. /sarcasm off
January 20th, 2009 at 3:25 pmI would like to see someone hold rush saggyball’s feet to the fire. ask him point blank, “what ever happen to country first”?
January 20th, 2009 at 3:26 pmWhile I may not hope Obama fails, there does seem to be a double standard among the left. They seemed to have nothing but ill wishes for the Bush Administation from the start. They prayed for our failure in Iraq and Afghanistan simply because they did not want Bush to succeed. They criticized his every move during 911 and Katrina. The slanted media never missed an opportunity to report nothing but negative about Bush, while any positive accomplishments were either omitted or buried in other news with minimum coverage. I do hope Obama can succeed for all our sakes. I refuse to treat him as the Dems treated Bush for the past 8 years. Even if I did not like the man, I do have respect for the office he holds! I wish him well. As for Rush, he’s only after the ratings. Why do people fear him so much??
January 20th, 2009 at 3:27 pmFor ANYONE who wishes the a new President to fail, especially before taking office, is a complete and utter MORON; that, or makes money from the last president’s actions.
I, personally, don’t care what color, religon, sex, or mental capability the new Preisdent is/has, as long as he can correct the 8 years of HELL Bush put us through. If he can pull us out like Rosevelt did after Hoover ran, then all the more power to him.
I disagree with the Bush Presidential Rating given to him last week. It was a rating of 22%. I, personally, would now give him a 100%!!! I APPROVE THAT HE IS GONE!!!!
January 20th, 2009 at 3:28 pmKRMS Says
“While I may not hope Obama fails, there does seem to be a double standard among the left.”

January 20th, 2009 at 3:28 pmWithout any attempt to be intellectual: What a Frickin’ A-HOLE… ‘way to think of the good for ALL, you headline whore… Hopefully, this “Ugly American”, whether he acknowledges it or not, is a DEAD breed, goin’ the way of the dinosaur… I wish Obama, and US ALL, the best, on this historic occassion, and in the years to come…

January 20th, 2009 at 3:28 pmShe’s demanding that the black man show respect to the white man……
January 20th, 2009 at 3:28 pmIt’s not OBAMA’S fault your making ends meet you need to discuss that with the GREEDY NO HEART HAVING ALL FOR THEMSELVES REPUBLICANS….. “Bush spent the money raised the gas prices gave some money away to the “big guys” and left office… “things that make you go ummmmmm”!!!!!

Well last I heard in our REPUBLIC anyone was allowed to say almost anything they wished to.
While I do hope that obamas politics fail I hope the MAN suceeds in his life.
And anyway the Rep party has HISTORY behind them to say that obama will be a 1 term president. And in 4 yrs obama will most likely loose any reelection bid he may have.
Google it if you dont believe me. To date there has been 19 Rep presidents and 16 Dem presidents. This is not countig the Whig, Federalists, and the Dem-Rep parties. the pattrent shows that for every 1 terms of a Dem tere is at least 2 Rep terms. with a few exceptions of course such as FDR, Clinton, Bush1, and those who took office after a death of the sitting president.
Would sure be nice IF liberals would state FACT instead of histeronics…

January 20th, 2009 at 3:29 pmFirst of all this is my first time at this site. I am a moderate (really what is that?) with mild right leanings. I am a mom of three but I never vote party line…any party line. I vote for the man or woman I feel is the best for the job. I am ready for the end of the Bush dynasty I think he made a mess of things especially these last 4 years. I voted for him, but if there had been a better democrat last time I don’t know if I would of. Kerry seemed like such a pompous something or other. Obama I like, I think he’s more likely to understand what it’s like to struggle with silly everyday things like the rest of us. He came from humble roots and I like that part. I am not with Rush (who is a hypocritical fool). I WANT Obama to succeed because I give a crap about my country. If Obama succeeds WE succeed. If he fails we feel the pain (last four years). I think Rush hits a cord with a small minority of right wingers anymore. Most of the rest of us who thought he was interesting a billion years ago find him annoying and idiotic now. Congratulations to Obama I wish him the best. My biggest hope is that he listens to all sides when making decisions, which he says he will do.

As I said, I guess we each saw what we wanted to see. I wanted to see a man graciously allow another to fulfill his constitutional role correctly, and you wanted to have an excuse to make a veiled bigoted remark about the new president’s name.
Do you hate the name “Hussein” only because of Saddam Hussein? Did you know that King Hussein of Jordan was a staunch friend of the United States? So much so he married one of our citizens. Is your knowledge of world history limited to the last eight years?
January 20th, 2009 at 3:30 pmComments get much worse, and I am ashamed to admit this person works in our office.
Quote “I can’t wait for someone to shot Obama”. I have personally challenged this person about this comment previously, but he does not get it. Same like comments heard in our lunchroom today.
All of these people should move in w/Rush!!
January 20th, 2009 at 3:30 pmI wish Obama success.But the only way he will succeed is by throwing Liberalism overboard.Liberalism is the proble and all you that think otherwise are fools.
January 20th, 2009 at 3:30 pmWhat else would you expect from a confirmed drug addict that is not in recovery.
January 20th, 2009 at 3:31 pmEvery thing about Limbaugh attitude, commentary and mannerisms screams active drug addict despite his claims to being pff Oxycodone.
it took what? zero point two seconds for the “respect the president crowd” to start wishing the president harm? hypocritical assclowns, each and every one of them.
January 20th, 2009 at 3:31 pmWTF? As I recall it was the LIBERALS that were making all the hate talk the past 8 years…
By the way the conservatives don’t hate America…it’s the liberals that seem to have a problem with the founding principles and want to “change” everything.
January 20th, 2009 at 3:32 pmI hope Obama fails too. I hope that God Almighty keeps his promise and shows this country what its going to take to take back this country from the destroyers ( Satan and all of his politicians,usurpers and corrupt souls….yes you Rush) and morally bankrupt leaders. This society is a cancer that needs to be destroyed before things can get better. At the very least I’d like to meet up with these individuals one on one when the lights go out. Hope to see you soon a!#holes.
January 20th, 2009 at 3:33 pmname a single public voice from the left who called for Bush to fail.
Most lefties that I know were bitter about the selection of Bush in 2000, but supported him as he took the oath of office. And after 9/11, virtually every one in the nation supported him, Left and Right.
It was his performance in office — pushing for an unjustified invasion, squandering our surplus, outing CIA officers as political retaliation, playing air guitar while New Orleans drowned, politicizing the Justice Department and approving of torture, but especially, calling “unpatriotic” anyone who didn’t agree with his policies — that generated the ill will that follows him out of office as he leaves in disgrace.
January 20th, 2009 at 3:33 pmIs not that Obamas “you know what” Limbaugh is “sucking on”?
Looks like Limbaugh is “Loving it”!!!!!!!!!!!!

January 20th, 2009 at 3:34 pmI suppose this idiot does not have the brains to realize that if Obama fails, we all fail! Now since the last 8 years have been nothing short of a nightmare, let’s support our new president; I for one hope he achieves his every goal.
January 20th, 2009 at 3:35 pm#251 you get the BOO YAH of the day. Some one gets it!!!!
January 20th, 2009 at 3:35 pmLOL …. listen to all the libelers … oops liberals …. clamor with their indignation at the same kind of crap that they have been spewing the last 8 years ….. get ready for more of it …. lol … but all that aside … RUSH has the right …. the same as you … and I … to hope he succeds … or hope he fails ….. EVERYBODY seems to for get that it was the liberal democratic congress that VOTED ALL THE legislation in that damaged the economy ….. SOOOOOO lets hope that President Obama can reign them in until we get smart enough collectively to put term limits on the senate and the congress ….. My respect and Best wishes Mr. President … just don’t pull any of that leftist commie crap and guide and inspire this nation as well as you ran your campaign.
January 20th, 2009 at 3:35 pmOne might think that a poster, when insulting an entire political ethos, could make one’s case more forcefully if, when calling others “fools” he proof-read his post before clicking “Submit”.
January 20th, 2009 at 3:36 pmI say he is a very courageous man! And I am glad that despite all the hoopla, that we keep eye on the issue. Yes, we should not embrace outlandish liberalism which is dangerously becoming the norm. Of course Rush is referring to his disagreement with the policies and leanings of Obama and we as taxpayers and “real” workers should be wary of how money is being spent. Have you noticed how “urgency” is being used as an excuse of spending the money dubbed as “stimulus”. Of course once you flow the money, debates stop and accountabilities blur, thus corrpution and abuse gets unchecked. When Clinton promoted this kind of economy, he painted a false strenght of the economy becaus everyone seems to have strong purchasing power!…But not for long…taxpayers paid dearly to cover for bad debts that other people sustained thinking they have “money” forever from “credit cards”, line of credits, loans this and that. People getting stuff that they can’t afford. And now we are salvaging these spendthrifts with our own money and because that is not enough, we have to borrow because our government is printing money to bail them out so all our children and future generation can pay up for this massive spending. Now Obama is going to cradle the lazy, spendthrifts, lobbyists, unions and all who are responsible for the collapse of the economy just to secure more vote for the next election. That’s what ACCORN was about which he himself masterminded. People there have work but not real jobs. These are jobs to keep their hands outstretched to him all the time…because they don’t generate real revenue but keeps them in the payroll. That’s socialism which marks Obama’s economy. So thanks for the likes of Rush for getting it out there.

Wow, lots to discuss there. Let me start by asking you a hypothetical question. Suppose President Obama were to divert $700 million from the money Congress authorized for the war in Iraq to begin planning the invasion of Russia. Would that be legal?
January 20th, 2009 at 3:38 pmNot everyone is excited about the new president. In fact, according to the majority vote, I would say it is a split country. I don’t wish Obama any ill will or our country. But, I think you are ignorant to say that Bush is our worst President ever. The President does not have all the power. Study Government and you will understand that our Government has different bodies that all come together to govern. We had a Democratic Congress and when they became the majority the Democrats said they were going to make everything Great and they didn’t. They put down President Bush and his approval rating when the congress approval rating is the a lot worst then Bush’s and the economy started to collapse when they had the majority.
I also feel it is unnecessary to to use crewd language and say the nasty things you do. Instead of just going off about things with disgusting comments, you can make your feeling known in a better way.
I personally feel that Obama should not be our President, because per our “CONSTITUTION” you must be born in America to be President. He was not born here, it is a proven fact. Do you know, he cannot even pass Homeland Security because of his ties to terrorists? This is scary. I do not wish him ill will. I just hope he upholds the Constitution like he swore to today.
I think a lot of people commenting today, might want to look up NWO (New World Order). It is pretty scary. The NWO is getting stronger by the day and a lot of things are being put in place that we do not even know about. I feel Obama is a puppet and not experienced enough to get where he is on his own.
Well, enough said.
January 20th, 2009 at 3:38 pmHow dare any of you say Bush was the worst president ever, you’re noting but coolaid drinking idiots. First when Bush got in office he had to deal with a recession bone head clinton left and the current problem with our economy steming from Fanny & Freddy (thanks to clinton). Both Bush & MCcain raised red flags about Fanny & Freddy but Congress and the Dems blew them off, take a good guess why! plus it helped get their empty suit in office, they sure do care don’t they, fools! Speaking of the worst president ever its a close tie between Clinton and the peanut farmer, wake up people don’t believe everything the liberal media tells you its usually scued, DON’T BE PINHEADS! P.S. During Bush he not only kept all your sorry buts safe and foiled at least 35 other attacks in the works but had 32 wks of job growth and unemployment was down until the Dems allowed this mess to happen, don’t think so digin and find the true facts, put down the coolaid and do some thinking for your selfs and quit listening to lefts media. P.P.S. get ready to hand out some of your money to you know who SHARE THE WEALTH people, you know what I’m not working right now so I might as well do the same for awhile and take some of the wealth if you don’t mind WHERE’S MY TAX PAYERS CHEESE! lol.

You’re worried what Rush said about NObama’s presidency?! For eight LONG years libs and the press demonized Bush and made sure that no one would ever see him in a positive light. The left has held open warfare on the right, on Bush, on America, on all things conservative, and refused to admit that hate is what drove your ideology. When an entertainer on the right openly suggests that he isn’t going to cave to the left’s demand that NObama be given some measure of support for his success, you squeal like the pigs you are. You won’t let yourselves enjoy your victory. It’s not in your nature to be happy. Fcuk NObama, fcuk you leftist idiots, and fcuk anyone on the right who wants to “just get along.”

January 20th, 2009 at 3:39 pmJust curious: did you say the same thing in 2004?
January 20th, 2009 at 3:40 pmThe most ironic thing on this whole post is the hatred in most of your responses. Limbaugh wants to see Obama fail just like most of you wanted to see Bush fail. What’s the difference?
For you to want Limbaugh to die and say some of the other things you people are saying…that just speaks more about your hatred than it does Limbaughs. I’d say from reading most of your comments which are filled with abusive language, wishes of death, and stupidity…our country isn’t going to change for the better if people like you live here.
Why don’t you come up with a good argument to why Obama is going to succeed? He needs all the help he can get. He’s already making excuses for why things aren’t going to work out like he promised you. They’re not going to be as easy as he originally made it sound. What’s the problem? Make big promises to get elected then start making excuses?
Don’t sound like change is comin’ to me. Sounds like more of the same…

January 20th, 2009 at 3:41 pmA few observations. First, John Roberts did make the mistake while reading the oath of office, NOT Obama.
Secondly, I must point out that Limbaugh was destined to go deaf. After all, human organs do atrophy and fail after a prolonged and deliberate lack of use. Heh…Heh…
Listen up, Limbaugh. The propaganda machine isn’t working anymore!
Hurray, rejoice, celebrate!

Wayne, did Bush do all that alone? You know there are those out there that think Bush sent Katrina to New Orleans as a form of genocide. Does the left actually think he was that powerful?
January 20th, 2009 at 3:43 pmIt is a sad day to see President Bush leave office. Rarely do you see a politician with backbone, moral character and love of God. President Bush will be remembered as the sole leader of the Free World who fought against Islamic terrorist. For the democrats who booed President Bush as he left office, congratulations on displaying your true colors. George Bush had to face the “radical left wing” for 8 straight years. I have yet to see or hear the “radical right wing”. I hope President Obama is treated with the dignity and he respect he currently deserves as the President of the United States.

First off, he wouldn’t let the Cheif justice finish before he told the country what his true belief is.
It is common for the person administering the oath to say “I, Barak Hussein Obama” and then wait for the official taking the oath to repeat before moving on. That’s what Obama appeared to be expecting. I doubt they practice this thing.
“His true belief”????

I personally feel that Obama should not be our President, because per our “CONSTITUTION” you must be born in America to be President. He was not born here, it is a proven fact. Do you know, he cannot even pass Homeland Security because of his ties to terrorists? This is scary. I do not wish him ill will. I just hope he upholds the Constitution like he swore to today.

Ever hear of Freedom of Speech? The left always tries to shout down or shut down what it does not agree with. Say what you want about President Bush. We were not attacked again after 9/11. The fact is the Clinton administration was the leading proponent of Regime change in Iraq. He just didn’t have the stones to do it. Rush has a right to his opinion just like everyone else. That’s what Freedom of speech is all about. Get a grip and get over it. I wish our new President success. It’s an American thing to do.
January 20th, 2009 at 3:47 pmhey, its called free speech. thats an american idea. and blindly following a political group doesnt make you patriotic. not in rush’s case, and not in obamas case. but rush has the right to state his opinion. thats the glory of this country.

Wow, lots to discuss there. Let me start by asking you a hypothetical question. Suppose President Obama were to divert $700 million from the money Congress authorized for the war in Iraq to begin planning the invasion of Russia. Would that be legal?
Wayne, did Bush do all that alone? You know there are those out there that think Bush sent Katrina to New Orleans as a form of genocide. Does the left actually think he was that powerful?

January 20th, 2009 at 3:48 pmPosters, I am a multi racial human being who wants to express thanks for them who voted Obama , ( change ) versus McCain ( Bush crapola), America will succeed without Bush at last. Lets remove Rush Limbaugh off the air waves. This guy gives me a headache. His voice causes me to have nightmares. last time I went to bed, I was dreaming, I saw a face like limbaugh, I almost crapped on myself. he leaned over to the mirror, he had dog pipes in his mouth. breathing in and out the stinch of the republican defeat. I bet he goes to bed and has to take tons of sleep aids, I think he is feeling some better. Just to let all here know, Please don;t bash Obama, he hasn;t even started work yet. Do not judge the book by the cover, I believe we will see prices falling for affordability. America will see good times come soon. Just hang in there.

EGADS!
January 20th, 2009 at 3:48 pmI wholeheartedly approve of Rush’s no-bull sentiments. I have heard the media, my family, and even some so-called conservatives spouting the “give Obama a chance” and “you better hope Obama succeeds” mumbo-jumbo ad nauseum, as if some generic, candy-coated concept of “success” is the highest good for our country. If you mean by “success” the implementation of his policies, then why would I as a fiscal and social conservative welcome that? I voted against Obama and his policies (though he managed to avoid actually articulating most of them in front of a camera), and I still find many of them anti-growth, anti-moral, and destructive. So if he “succeeds” in doing the wrong thing, that is what is known to most logical minds as “failure”. If he succeeds in failure, he fails to really succeed. Are your little liberal brains smoking yet? If, for example, in spite of his pre-election rhetoric about “dialogue” and “lowering” the number of abortions, he “succeeds” in his stated goals at change.gov, such as removing all present restrictions on abortion and dramatically increasing abortion funding, then he will “fail” to protect innocent life. I know too many people of good will in churches, crisis pregnancy centers, and adoption agencies whose time and energy is poured into saving little ones and meeting the needs of mothers in crisis, whose efforts will be directly thwarted and trampled by his “success”. Sadly, it is nothing new. Bill Clinton could barely wait for his first day in office to reverse the previous administration’s pro-life policies wherever he could. Obama is beholden to the same bunch of pro-abortion groups, who will hold his feet to the fire if he doesn’t act as soon as he takes the oath. With our economy crippled, and government spending out of control, the most pressing issue will be as with most any other Democrat, that not enough babies are dying. Yeah, get right on that, Mr. Prez! If any elected official’s “vision” lacks a moral imperative to protect human life at all its stages, I hold out little hope that they have answers to any of our nation’s predicaments, regardless of how “pragmatic”, “inclusive”, and “broadminded” they claim to be. So if Mr. Obama insists on pursuing the path he has staked out, I pray for his failure.
January 20th, 2009 at 3:49 pmfurthermore the congress has been controlled by liberals for most of bushes presidency. bush didnt make laws, he could only veto and pass them. congress was responsible for making the laws, and they were horribly inefficient most of the time, in large part because the dems didnt want to agree with the republicans on anything, thusly causing a stalemate.
January 20th, 2009 at 3:49 pmYou know there are those out there that think Bush sent Katrina to New Orleans as a form of genocide. Does the left actually think he was that powerful?
For the record, anyone who said that is a stupid idiot. Care to point out which ones said it?
I have, however, heard of some right-wing religious nuts say something similar, but no one from the left that I know of.
January 20th, 2009 at 3:49 pmThe Hawk Says: “We were not attacked again after 9/11.”

January 20th, 2009 at 3:49 pmGod really has blessed America. We can say whatever we want because of free speech. May God bless each of you the way you have blessed everyone whose opinions differs from yours.
January 20th, 2009 at 3:49 pmLimbaugh voices an opinion. He doesn’t bomb US buildings or register voters illegally. He voices an opinion. This does not make him a traitor, it makes him an American with a right to speak his mind. Why is it liberals are only for free speech when they are in agreement with what is being said? Limbaugh disagrees with the ideals of liberals. What’s wrong with that? Is that different from Olberman wanting Bush brought up on war crimes? Two opinions from two broadcasters. They have the right to speak.
January 20th, 2009 at 3:49 pmTHAT’s your defense?
“He had help”?
Sheesh.
(By the way, no one on the Left really thinks that Bush sent Katrina to New Orleans. We just know he stood by with his thumb up his ass while people drowned in attics and clung to their rooftops. We’re part of the Reality-Based Community, after all.)

January 20th, 2009 at 3:49 pmHey does that really mean I DON”T KNOW WHO MY DADDY IS !!!!
What bothers me is everyone singing YAY change YAY change. I am for a positive change but not for change for changes sake. Nazism was a “change”. I would love for our country to go in the right direction, but I don’t want change made blindly and hysterically without long hard thought going into the life long repercussions that may affect my children and their children. I am very worried about all the promises made in Obama’s speech if he does fulfill every promise, we will have a huge price tag for it. I do not want my kids picking up the tab for bailouts for CEO’s and their cronies. I sincerely hope Obama does things differently. I am here sitting back giving him time and hoping for good to come out of it. I do not think things like socialized medicine will help a flailing economy, the tax burden for that alone would cripple most of us out here who are already on the razors edge of survival. That’s just one concern. I honestly don’t trust any politician to do what is in the best interest of me and my children’s future, but I am hoping and with holding judgement for now :D
January 20th, 2009 at 3:50 pmWhat he should have said…”I hope Obama falls down the stairs and breaks his neck.”
If Obama succeeds with what he wants to do, America will fail.
- More abortions is the first thing he wants to accomplish.
- More gay sex and aids perliferation
- Weakened military by negotiating and compromising with terrorists.
- More taxes on rich which means less investment and less good jobs
- Global warming is a scam! His goal will be high gas prices so people stop driving cars and ride their bikes. Of course he and the media will blame it on big oil.
I HOPE HE FAILS TOO…. BUT I THINK AMERICA IS TOO STUPID TOO LET THAT HAPPEN.
January 20th, 2009 at 3:51 pmMr. Limbaugh, that you would make such tasteless, callous, and selfish remarks about Mr. Obama on this historic and joyful day only reminds anyone with half a brain that you are, in fact, what you rail endlessly against: an anti-American crackpot who will say anything for money, and whose shockingly hypocritical lack of patriotism makes any true American want to vomit. Here’s a little Inaugural Day wish for you: I truly hope that YOU fail in your (supposed) recovery from addiction to prescription painkillers and once and for all overdose your obnoxious, obese self into oblivion. (Based on your comments today, you’re apparently well on your way.)
January 20th, 2009 at 3:51 pmNo…like all you commie/socialist liberals that think “Free Speech” means having to muzzle anyone who disagrees with you…i.e. the current movement by liberals to make it mandatory for any right wing news/radio to HAVE to have some liberal there to give equal time to leftist viewpoints.
Suck it up Air America failed and for good reason…no substance…just anger and hate.
January 20th, 2009 at 3:51 pmCan anyone explain why, when wingnuts shout down the Left, it’s “freedom of speech” but when the Left objects to anything a right-wing talking head says, it “censorship”?
Seems like a double standard to me.

She refused to declare a state of emergency even when the white house was asking her to. They were trying to follow the chain of command but she thought she had it all under control. If my govenor did that I would want her blood! Just think there is enough blame for that freaking mess for everyone in power… mayor, govenor, and president.

January 20th, 2009 at 3:55 pmI don’t know where all of these trolls are getting the idea that ‘liberals wanted to see Bush fail.’ First of all, fail at what? He apparently succeeded in what apparently was his goals of making all of his rich friends richer, in gutting the Constitution, in politicizing the Justice Department, in indebting the U.S. to China to the tune of trillions, in lying America into an illegal war, etc. If you trolls mean ‘fail in Iraq’, I think that all of us would have been happy as pigs in shite if Bush had been successful in instilling a real and lasting democracy in Iraq with minimum bloodshed, REGARDLESS of how he got us in there. As we all know, he went about it not only illegally, but with no forethought or planning that was based in reality, nor with any accountability to WE taxpayers for the trillions spent.
No, we didn’t want to see Bush, and therefore America, fail, we were just stuck watching his failure in horror.

Seriously, it’s time to recognize we lost Obama is president and support our country, which now whether you like it or not Obama represents. I am sooooo sick of the bashing of the last eight years. I don’t want to see it for the next four as well from the other side. Just sick to death of it. Even if you like Bush you have to say he was totally sleeping at the switch while our economy was tanking I am angry at him for being a little to late with a little too little.
January 20th, 2009 at 3:57 pmOh PULEEZE. He’s right, someone had to say it. “King” Hussein is not going to save this country. Grow up. He is not the Messaih. He’s just a man who was clever enough to get what he wanted. If we’re all supposed to be equal and race doesn’t matter then why, for the love of Pete, is this man being referred to as the “First Black President”, the “First African-American President”? Huh, got any answers to that one? He’s not both, he’s either American, or not, and it’s time he started claiming citizenship in the country he’s now going to rule. This country won’t be free until we have to stop pressing 1 to listen to English and as long as we have a “First (insert race) President in office that is never going to happen.
You all spout out about Limbaugh’s name calling and crap. Go back and read your own posts. A little of the pot calling the kettle black.
January 20th, 2009 at 3:57 pmRush meant he hopes Liberalism fails, if after all you might listen to the show he does explain what he means. And most of all he gets such a laugh out of getting a rise out of people. It’s actually funny. He’ll say something and then there will be a Liberal diatribe on how he needs to be muzzled. It’s hysterical. Libs can’t take their own dish, and that is just hysterical to watch you all have such hissy fits.
I think you all have been complaining about Bush for 8+ years, why is that not put under the same ‘Hate’ rhetoric that you are assigning to Rush?
And yes…there was a blunder in the oath, but it all got corrected, but why is it not Obama’s fault? If Bush had made the same error would it not have been his fault? I think you all need to stop being so one sided and start looking at things from both angles.
January 20th, 2009 at 3:57 pmwhat’s the matter hawk? gone all pissypants because i revealed you for the canary you truly are?
January 20th, 2009 at 3:59 pmThe thing that most disturbs me is that we insulted a true American hero who devoted most of his life to this Country and was by far the more qualified candidate, by electing a person only because he is black. Obama never even completed his first Senate term nor served in the military. He can never match McCain’s qualifications and experience. People in uniform today should pay careful attention to the message that we sent to McCain for his honorable service to the United States.
January 20th, 2009 at 3:59 pmRush actually said that he knows what Obama’s policies are and that he hopes that Obama fails as he doesn’t want the bad policies in place. I agree as I don’t want these liberal policies put in place. Government is already way to big and we need to a lot more conservative. Bush failed as he had to many liberal policies in place. Take all of these policies out of the government and get back to the government that our founding fathers put in place. I agree Rush and let’s just hope for our countries sake that Obama fails and that our country can withstand his bad policies.
January 20th, 2009 at 3:59 pmKRMS Says:

You can wish upon people bad things, like failure, but always remember, wishing bad upon someone always comes back to you. You may have to eat your own words when he ends up succeeding and you and your offspring reap the benefits.

Ralph, yes they did think this way, their actions proved it. As for the drowning people in N.O., they were told well in advance to get out! Their beloved, complacent Mayor of Chocolate City made no move to evacuate these less fortunate people. Hundreds of City buses and school buses were found parked in their respective yards under water after the storm. Yet, Bush gets the blame for all this misery. The Mississippi Gulf Coast was more devastated but better prepared due to local officials heeding the call to “leave”!
However, this is not a Katrina thread. N.O. was used as an example of how it was perceived from the local level, and how Bush received the blame. Did he make mistakes, yes. Is he perfect, no. Was the whole thinged mired in red tape, yes. All of us living along the coast were surprised by a storm of this magnitude. However, Bush was supposed to be flawless in his decisions. Love live Obama, and I do believe that history will eventually exonerate Bush.

As matter of fact, he nominated one of the oil execs to the highest board. Remember Lee Ramond told the judges while American People suffered from the high gasoline spikes. I feel sorry for people who lost their homes, had food taken off the table so they cannot feed their kids, plus not to name repossessions of Automobiles. Right wingers Get a Grip on reality. We needed change for the fact that America had Enough. Change is on its way whether or not the conservatives or liberals like it. Poor people spoke out on election year of ‘08. Poor people spoke out loud.
Thank you Jesus for Bringing in change
January 20th, 2009 at 4:03 pm“I do not want my kids picking up the tab for bailouts for CEO’s and their cronies.”
Kats3sons, your kids have been picking up the tab for bailouts for CEO’s and their cronies ever since (and probably before) the Keating 5, of which John McCain (R-Arizona) was part. The failed Savings and Loans? Bush’s other criminal brother Neil? Remember? Do you remember Bush’s buddy Kenny Boy Lay and Enron, and all of the people who lost their jobs and savings and pensions? If you’ve only been paying attention for the last month or so, you’d better start studying a little more history. Informed discourse starts with the word “informed.”
January 20th, 2009 at 4:03 pmI reckon there’s a lot of people that don’t like Rush Limbaugh. I ain’t one of them. He’s one of the few with the balls to say what a lot of Americans are thinking but don’t have the airways or newspapers to say it. I for one think Obamy sucks and ain’t afraid to say it to whoever is around. I also hope Obamy fails as a president. The only reason most people voted for the ***hole in the first place is because he said vote for me and I’ll give you a stimulus check. In other words he bought your votes. I hope it doesn’t pass and then lets see where he stands with people.

January 20th, 2009 at 4:14 pmMay America never see another 9/11 or Katrina under his selection.
Is gitmo closed yet????? It’s been a few hours now.
How is Obama going to turn USA into a socialist state, geeze we are already socialist. Bush made it a socialist state when he was elected.
Eat some wheaties please. Quit acting like children everyone. Words to the wise, You cannot lead a Jackass to water to drink. Lets all get together in harmony.

January 20th, 2009 at 4:19 pmRush says what all conservatives believe but don’t say out of courtesy to our new President. But I agree. I hope Barrack Hussein Obama fails and gets booted out in 4 years. Socialism and big government have never brought about prosperity. To Rush I say “DITTO”!
January 20th, 2009 at 4:20 pm“However, this is not a Katrina thread.”

Bush failed as he had to many liberal policies…
….there they go again, trying to label Bush as a liberal, the ‘Stupid’ has hit boiling point today.
Wow look at who is calling somebody stupid. Read through a few of your posts here and you will read the definition of the word. Bush was one of the least conservative Republican presidents we have had in awhile. Look back to Reagon to see how things should be done. We need another candidate like Reagon to keep the liberals from spending money that they have no buisness spending. Let’s hope that 4 years from now we can get a truly conservative Republican in the office to clean up this whole mess.
January 20th, 2009 at 4:21 pmPay attention to what Rush L. is saying and quit calling someone who speaks the truth names. You people are like sheep if one goes off the cliff the rest will follow, you want liberalisim, bigger government taking more, telling you what to do, removing more of our liberty, more taxes eventurally one world government then keep closing your minds and keep talking stupid. Wakeup I say and truly listen and hear to what the left is trying to pull over our eyes.
January 20th, 2009 at 4:21 pmany one see this idiots quote, some one said if Obama supports socialism, he hopes for his failure too…. understandable if you dont like socialism
then buckey boy called him stupid for saying that…
January 20th, 2009 at 4:23 pmso we can only conclude that he supports socialism, unless he wants to defend himself……
It is now your turn liberals. You have the House, Senate, and Executive Branches of our goverment. You also have the media. I am hoping for great results, but not holding my breath.
January 20th, 2009 at 4:23 pmYes, yobama’s direction for America is straight down the toilet. Higher taxes, destroying riches, more welfare, forced volunteerism (slavery), less production, money going to other countries the list is going to be crazy.
January 20th, 2009 at 4:25 pmChange I don’t want.
Apparently the trolls are too ignorant to take off the caps lock.

that’s what brought us down…..live with it, own it. It is conservatism run amok.

January 20th, 2009 at 4:27 pmsomeone enlighten me as to who these
January 20th, 2009 at 4:28 pmtrolls are?
To allow the likes of Rush Limbaugh to incite the type of disdain that we are seeing in this thread is to allow Rush to have more power than our new President. President Obama’s message is to transcend the ways of ignorance and the only way we can do that is to respectfully call Rush’s message for what it is and then move on to start great, exciting new things for our country. I don’t rent space–in my mind and heart–to those who hurt me (or America). Not all Republicans are like Rush. And some of their challenges should be heard and critically examined. Gone are the days of demonizing any side. This is just a person without character’s way of making money… For the first time in a very long time I am PROUD TO BE AMERICAN and Rush cannot take that away!!!!
January 20th, 2009 at 4:28 pmYou know what, SM? Given the performance of you and your ideological brethren here today, you guys don’t get to complain about anyone else’s level of class, okay?
Act with some dignity and maybe you’ll have some credibility on which to draw. Right now, you have none.
January 20th, 2009 at 4:29 pmRush is on his pain killers again. He drugged out of his mind. Who in the world can take this a$$hole serious. He’s fat, ugly, bald, and stupid.
January 20th, 2009 at 4:29 pmIn my opinion he has already failed. With the economy in such bad shape here they are spending money like it was going out of style while the taxpayers are footing the bill. Too many people need help to keep their homes. That money could have been used to help a lot of them stay in their homes.
January 20th, 2009 at 4:29 pmSo much for the so called honest and caring politician
In the words of Red…..hey dumbass, where do you think we are right now and why do you think we are here?
January 20th, 2009 at 4:29 pmLet’s do a little analysis, Liberal Style:
Liberal version of Free Speech:
“I hope Rush dies”,
“Bush is an evil warmonger”,
Conservatives hate America”,
“Rush is fat and stupid”,
“Conservatives deserve to scream like stuck pigs”,
“Cons are a bunch of low-life trolls”,
“Cons are traitors”,
“Rush supporters are all druggies and drunks”,
“Rush should be taken off the air”
Liberal version of “horrible, anti-American, hate-speech”:
“I hope Obama fails”
Very odd to say the least.
January 20th, 2009 at 4:30 pmNo, Jane, it was not a racist comment. Those direct words came out of Mayor Ray Nagin’s own mouth. I actually thought you were embarking on an enjoyable, intelligent conversation until you injected racism. Enough of that already!
January 20th, 2009 at 4:31 pmAND WE HAVE A NEW RECORD!
It only took four and a half hours for someone to declare that Obama has “already failed”.
Damn, dude, you must have some steep expectations for your president.
How long did it take Bush before you declared his presidency a failure?
January 20th, 2009 at 4:32 pmGuess you’re gonna say bush didn’t deserve it right? I mean you’re comparing class acts, right?
January 20th, 2009 at 4:32 pmPlease fellow Americans don’t curse this man, have pity on his soul. If he had half the balls he pretends to have then why wouldn’t he do something to better the country which allows this free speech. In some countries, he would probably be hanged, tortured, imprisoned or all three. If we would all band together against the offenses of this person I’m sure his popularity would go away. He is a sell out, in that he says these things purely for the purpose of gaining some type of reaction which in turn garners him more money through more ratings. If you want to make him disappear…hit him where it hurts, his pockets. Look beyond him and look at the sources which pay him his nearly 38 million dollar a year salary. Hmmmm, Clear Channel and Premiere Radio. Check into who their sponsors are, dig deep then bury him. Time for us to think smart America!
January 20th, 2009 at 4:32 pmRush “Limberger” you are an complete idiot. You do realize that if the Obama Administration fails, the American people fail? You do know this right? You might not like “Liberalism” but even you can’t be that much of an idiot. What a freak show you are.
January 20th, 2009 at 4:33 pmHey, KRMS, I must have missed it when you cited a real liberal voice who truly espoused the notion that Bush sent Hurricane Katrina to New Orleans.
Can you point me to the comment where you left the link?
Just the time of the comment is good enough. The numbers sometimes switch around.

I wish Obama success.But the only way he will succeed is by throwing Liberalism overboard.Liberalism is the proble and all you that think otherwise are fools.
Really? So liberalism is the big bad scary word of the day. Let me help you out here bud, liberalism and progressive politics is what helped shape our country to what it became – and what it will continue to become as we all work together to perfect our union. Get out a dictionary, do a little research and try to stop reacting to the scary, scary words which you appear to not understand. Thank you.
January 20th, 2009 at 4:33 pmAs a conservative I hope Obama selectively fails. Limbaugh could have said that, but it wouldn’t catch the headlines he needs for his business. I think if you all look in the mirror you would agree that you don’t agree with 100% of what Obama says. The only person saying 100% of what I like is me. I am glad we are in a country where we are free to speak our views. The only surviving socialist countries out there don’t allow the freedom of speech. If we go that route, dissenting opinions will have to be choked off.
Frankly I’m surprised people get worked up about any comments from Limbaugh. He’s on one conservative station where no others seem to exist. You can’t censor him, but you can ignore him. I still have fresh batteries in my remote if you need to borrow them.
I’m glad some people pointed out the limited powers of the President and that the Dems were also busy writing laws and voting for laws over the past 8 years. Contrary to many of the opinions here, not all evil was born in the past 8 years. Many of the factors lead to the current situation existed during the Clinton administration. The housing bubble is one – politicians wanted everyone to have a house; 9/11 is another – hatred for the infidel predates Bush. There were many efforts made to reign in Fannie and Freddie that were blocked by the Democrats. That is an indisputable fact for those who want to do some research. I can write about it, but I know the first 3 words in my post will bias what you read. You’ll need to find it for yourself as I have.
We also do need to give Bush credit for having the spine to take the war to the terrorists rather than sit back and wait. Regardless of what you think of the man, he has protected us. If he attacked the Taliban before 9/11 people would scream. There are poeple out there sworn to destroy our way of life. They aren’t sworn to unconditional dialog or whatever Obama wants. I’m not sure how you negotiate down from total destruction and find a compromise that works. There’s ideology and there’s reality. I do hope Obama succeeds in blurring the line between the two and makes the world a bit more safe. I don’t mind if he fails in turning my health benefits into a DMV staffed program. Remember he can and will fail at some things – every President fails at something – and America can still be a better place. I’ll take the prosperity of Bush’s first 6 years however we got there.

Lowering the taxes for the rich was the one thing that he did get right and let’s hope that Obama wakes up and keeps them in place through his term. Brings in more revenue and creates jobs. Part of that plan was also to lower the taxes of lower class. Regulations such as the one that forced banks to offer home loans to people that couldn’t afford them were part of the liberal agenda. Look where that has taken us.
January 20th, 2009 at 4:38 pmSounds like a hit a miss for you big fella’. Conservativism works and had for many years after this country created the constitution. Then somebody got a hold of a peace pipe and decided that they wanted to change a few things. Such as giving the government control of our lives as apparently a lot of you don’t think you can make the right choices. Let the goverment control the borders and the police and move the rest to the private sector. It’s common sense but people like you have a little too thick of a head to get it.
FAIRNESS DOCTRINE =)
January 20th, 2009 at 4:38 pmI for one hope that the comedian’s ass cyst becomes terminal and he doesn’t have to watch the success of this President, or the comeback of the hardworking Americans that elected him.
January 20th, 2009 at 4:40 pmReally, trolls, what makes this a good day to be signed in? George Bush didn’t win a third term. Go play somewhere else. Ralph is signed in, you know.
January 20th, 2009 at 4:40 pmKRMS, there’s a big difference between the way you used “Chocolate City” and the way Ray Nagin did. And I thought that he was an idiot, too, for using the phrase.
January 20th, 2009 at 4:40 pmMy moniker is to mock these liberal folks who want to round up all us who don’t agree with them, take us off the airwaves and put us in “re-education” camps, I suppose – since according to them, we are all “idiots, traitors, a**holes, hateful” people.
Ahh censorship, the Liberal’s weapon of choice – it’s even “non-violent”!!!!
January 20th, 2009 at 4:40 pmHe’s in there so, I’ll give him as much a chance as the libs gave “W”.
Funny how he’s for change and immediately upon election lays down with the fleas the Clinton’s had in their bed. He talks of morals and ethics while already trying to cram an elitist Sec of Treasury down our throats. What’s worse is that we have a significant number of conservatives going along so they don’t get on the wrong side of the media. I guess we should expect that? No I know we should expect that.
If he’s worth his salt, I’ll ask him to earn my respect by pushing for the following;
*Term limits
*No raises for policians unless approved by the voting majority,
*flat tax, *
*line item veto
*no lifelong benefits to serve our country. It’s a job, not a free ride for the rest of your life.
In a time of economic crisis how many politicians get laid off?

I think its great! Go Rush! I hope he fails too because he’s nothing more than a sham & a fake; full of empty promises that he’s already back tracking on.
And anther thing I want the media to start getting it right, HE’S NOT AMERICA’S FIRST BLACK PRESIDENT!!! He’s America’s first half black president! They need to get it right that he’s only half black; the white side should be counted too.
January 20th, 2009 at 4:43 pmSheeeeeeeeesh………where did all the idiots come from? And why are they so saturated with hatred and negativity? My message to the idiots (and you know who you are), relax, give our President some time to begin solving the problems Bu$hCo and his enablers (you?) created. Sit back, your lives will get better.

What was the “good cause” that justified the president violating the law?
You are right Wayne, in saying this will take much longer than we have to educate each other about our respective “opinions”. Bush could not have “illegally” diverted funds without approval. Apparently your source of news is slanted left, which just about covers all of them except Fox. Sadaam was clearly not our friend and was more than willing to assist our enemies whoever they were. “The enemy of my enemy is my friend”. Surely you didn’t consider Sadaam to be our ally? As soon as he would have been able to obtain weaponry to accomplish it, he would have fired a missile into downtown Manhattan. He was too dangerous to be left out of the equation. So for now my friend, we will have to agree to disagree.

At a time like this, with all this new President has inherited, this man wants him to fail. In case you don’t catch it, he wants the country to go under. These people consider having a black, Harvard graduated professor worse then a country that has been devastated.
He loves the attention his BS gives him. I will love the day when these so called pundits lose their audience and no one even thinks to quote them. And why is it they are always so very physically unattractive?

You are right in that you are lost. You are lost in the fog with the rest of the liberals. Of course jobs are down right now as we are in the middle of a recession. Jobs were up before we entered the recession.A recession brought on by Bush not being conservative enough in spending money (which I will admit) and the Democrat ridden Senate spending their pork and earmarks. Obama and Biden were two of the worst rated Senators in that category. And now look as they spent over 100 million on an inauguration party in the middle of a recession. First day on the job and already showing their spending ways. Blame the regulations that the dem’s put on the banks that forced them to offer loans to people that couldn’t afford them.

I’m not as eager to abandon rational discourse as you. In the first place, Congress never authorized Bush to begin taking troops and equipment away from Afghanistan to begin fighting the war in Iraq. if you can prove they did, I would like to see the evidence.
Saddam had nothujing to do with 9/11. You do know that, don’t you? Congress authorized funds for the war to fight those who attacked us on 9/11. That did not include Iraq. Never did. So the diversion of the troops was illegal.
Second, “the enemy of my enemy is my friend” is a dangerous and irresponsible basis for a foreign policy. What happens after your common enemy is defeated? Your new “friends” go back to being your enemy again. As to what Saddam might have done if he had the capability is irrelevant. He didn’t, and likely never would have.
So, I do not see any “good cause” for Bush to violate his oath of office, the law, and the Constitution.

Yo green,
You got it wrong again!!!! While the Federalists were busy growing the scope of the Federal Government, Jefferson, a Democrat-Republican, believed that the Government’s role should be small and limited. To infer that all change is liberal and that conservatives are opposed to all change is ridiculous and you know it.
Hitler brought about change in Germany in the 1930’s – so he was a liberal?
January 20th, 2009 at 4:56 pmJane, aren’t these trolls in good voice today?

“All you Liberals are a bunch of idiots”

I will.

We sure are enjoying your total head explosions though, nice to see what you scum sucking, brownshirt, jack-boot, lemming, neanderturds are all about.
Makes us proud that we are not like you losers.
January 20th, 2009 at 5:00 pmNo matter how outrageously George W. Bush acted, I always hoped that he would be successful in making the world a better place. He, of course, failed miserably. Sometimes, events were outside of his control, but he, more often than not, acted and reacted in ways that simply made things worse. In many cases, his actions were immoral, unethical and unlawful. Still, I always hope that our president will successfully lead us to peace, prosperity, happiness and righteousness.
When Rush wishes for Obama to fail, he’s being unpatriotic and un-American.
Please, please please… Rush, if you want America to fail, please leave us. We don’t want you. We don’t need you. You are destructive. You are acting like an enemy of America. Disagreement and loyal opposition is one thing. Wishing failure on our president is simply unacceptable. If you are going to behave like one of our enemies, please leave and join our enemies.
January 20th, 2009 at 5:00 pmTappio, the “Democrat-ridden Senate” has been stopped in its tracks by a single Republican on many, many bills that they have tried to bring to the floor. Even after the 2006 mid-terms, they could get nothing passed without Republican cooperation. Not to mention that the trillion-dollar price tag for the “war” in Iraq has been kept out of the budget process by the Bush administration and the Republicans, not the Democrats. I blame the current Democrats for a lot, but not for the myriad earmarks that the Republicans fattened up on since 2000. Maybe some of them started out fiscally conservative, but greed got to them.
January 20th, 2009 at 5:01 pm- when I retire at 80 years old, that is.
Democrats aren’t for raising the retirement age on SS, Einstein. Your deposed nominee McCain proposed raising the retirement age, but what do you cons know about voting in your own interests? Dogfighting is on your mind when you vote.
January 20th, 2009 at 5:01 pmI haven’t heard one – not one – conservative say the following:
January 20th, 2009 at 5:01 pm“Obama is not MY President”
Now I remember the whiney liberals who are the worst losers in the history of the world saying that Bush wasn’t ‘their’ President.
Why the offsidedness?
Maybe because conservatives have values?

Yo – green,
In case you didn’t notice – the hatred is coming from the Liberal Trolls and directed at Bush, Cheney, Rush and Conservatives in general.
We are merely trying to set the record straight – and opposing the POLICIES that Obama wants to enact.
The name calling and hateful remarks are coming from your side, not ours
Hahaha…..pause, take a deep breath and look at the name you have yourself. Your attempts at projecting your violence and hatefulness on some ill-conceived “side” is telling. Just calm down – today we are all Americans. Now let’s all get busy and start working to heal our nation and start solving the problems we face. Thank you.
January 20th, 2009 at 5:02 pmI don’t see yobama being re-elected. He’s a one shot guy.
January 20th, 2009 at 5:02 pmTax the rich more? Is it fair to have less than 5% of the population pay half of the tax bill? The bottom 40% aren’t paying federal taxes. We need people to buy stuff to get the economy going. Pop quiz: Scenario 1) I make $12,500 a year or 2) I make $250,000 a year. In which scenario will I be able to earn more (taxed), spend more (taxed), invest more (taxed) and pass more on to my spawn (taxed). If you are pro taxes, you have to thank the wealthy for paying. If you have a job manufacturing, selling or servicing, you have to thank whoever benefits from your goods or services, not the president. As President I’d be happy to cut taxes for the lower & middle classes because it makes up such a small portion of the budget. If I put more money in the hands of the people that can afford to spend money, the economy picks up steam. Aside from the Madoff victims, which group needs to save less and can afford to spend more?

This is a false argument put forth by the anti-taxers. They claim that if you cut the taxes for wealthy people, they’ll spend more and spur the economy. Except it isn’t true because they don’t spend it, they save it. And they don’t create jobs with it, either, because that’s not what rich people do with their tax breaks. So if they do nothing with their exra money to spur the economy, then all you’ve accomplished by cutting their taxes is to make them even richer. Why is that a good thing? What do they need the extra money for?

January 20th, 2009 at 5:13 pmThey own half the wealth, so yes, it is fair that they pay half the taxes.
January 20th, 2009 at 5:13 pmInteresting.
Is this just a build up of trolls over the months, spewing their hatred all at once to try and disrupt the joy and celebration of the historic occasion known as “CHANGE”?
Well, if I may reiterate:
THE 44th PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA!
Trolls be damned.
January 20th, 2009 at 5:13 pmAmerica voted.

How’s it all working out for you? We the People of the United States of America elected a new president – and he has now been President for a little over 5 hours. And you are not satisfied with his job so far? Would you like to parrot Rush and wish for his failure? Why? Have we all and I mean everyone just lived through the worst eight years in American history?
And another thing……namecalling, violence, pitting imaginary sides against imaginary sides reminds me of grade school playgrounds. We have a new role model in our White House and we should all work at emulating his gracious style. Thank you.

FYI – Obama is my President and I hope he succeeds in protecting and defending this nation – he is the Commander in Chief of our military and in that role I hope he succeeds.
I disagree with many of the proposals he has put forth, and for this I am called pathetic, idiot, etc.
That just doesn’t seem right to me.
Yes, we should all line up behind Obama and not attack each other since we are all Americans – except for Rush and the Rick Warren pastor-guy, they are evil….
Did I get that sentiment right?

January 20th, 2009 at 5:28 pmTime prevents me from reading each entry in this thread, but I’d certainly encourage those unhappy with the choice of president to volunteer their efforts in their respective communities to effect change.
Those who supported President Obama’s campaign need not lower themselves to answer ignorance; instead, I’d recommend supporting the president’s words of unity and truth and honor to work, again, through volunteering time, talent and treasure to continue to improve our country.

you know, the way obama wants things, such as his healthcare plan, is like that of communism, and every communist counrty is run by a fascist.
January 20th, 2009 at 5:30 pmIt’s funny how the wealthiest 1% and the corporations who control the health care industry have fooled the people into believing that OMG we’re going to be COMMUNIST if we have SINGLE-PAYER health-care…But then again, these sheep would willingly slit their throats in the class warfare that the wealthiest 1% and their allies have wrought upon all of them. Who needs enemies when you could harm yourself in lockstep?

I think we could all use a little more unity and A LOT less name calling.
January 20th, 2009 at 5:31 pmWayne, so you are for taxes? Do you feel the government is better at spending our money than we are? I’m afraid the more I pay, the more I am subsidizing bad behavior. I also don’t believe in penalizing success more than failure. I have sympathy, but if you tear down people for being successful to bring up the bottom, you just get a bigger pool of losers. And another thing, tell me how many people on welfare are running companies with employees? To say the rich don’t provide jobs is a bit off the mark. Since you say the rich like to save, let’s assume they will always save (not an evil premise by the way). If the government takes money out of their cash flow and we are already assuming they’ll behave predictably and save, who gets the shaft? If we know the outcome, why shaft the people who need the jobs by taxing the guy who pays the check? It also shafts everyone who benefits from the spending by the rich guy. If you take away my incentive to earn, will I strive to earn? Will the tax base drop with a diminished incentive to earn? Possibly.
To all attacking “killtheconnies” he/she has already explained the irony of the name in post 411 (happens to be how you dial information by the way – must be a conspiracy). Did we outlaw irony and humor already?

ITS BAD FOR REASONS THAT IT HAS BEEN TRIED, AND HAS FAILED, THERE ARE SEVERAL EXAMPLES THROUGH OUT HISTORY, SOMETHING YOU ARE IGNORANT OF.
MY POINT IS IF YOU LIKE SOCIALISM, GO LIVE IN A SOCIALIST COUNTRY

January 20th, 2009 at 5:57 pmI simply asked:
“Can anyone here make a liberal argument without an epithet attached?”
I got my answer from Marlow:
“Draft dodging,
Anal cyst whining,
Oxycontin popping,
Trolling in third-world countries with a satchel of viagra for young hookers,
Fat,
Ugly as s–t,
Keep it up, pigboy, you’re the perfect mascot for the ‘tards.”
–One problem – it was all epithets and no arguement!
January 20th, 2009 at 5:57 pmHatred? No.
Contempt? Yes.
Contempt for those who were given carte blanche and failed, at every turn, then tried to blame those who had the wisdom to tell them it wouldn’t work.
O.K. Maybe a little hatred too.

What do you think of sarah palin’s windfall profit check taxed from the oil companies and given to the citizens of alaska. that’s socilaism.
January 20th, 2009 at 5:58 pmTake heart! Limbaugh’s transparency — i.e., clear showing of appalling stupidity — only loses him supporters, which is a good thing.
January 20th, 2009 at 5:59 pmEven Joseph Shumpeter, one of capitalism’s most ardent and intelligent apologists, recognized that capitalism would have to be subsumed by socialism eventually.
January 20th, 2009 at 6:00 pmI like all the “us” and “we” references. We won the Super Bowl, wahooo. “We” contributed so much effort to the game from our couch that we can claim the victory as our own. The “we” will turn to “he” when things don’t go so well.
I’m waiting to see Osama’s head on a stick and Gitmo closed. I’ve heard some backpedaling on both of those campaign promises after the pre-briefing from the current administration.

He let them down along with the Governer whats her name! Bush asked them a number of times if they needed help and they did not answer him a first and by law he can’t just move in unless the Governer agrees. but you know what the people left there did not learn anything because they voted the same fool back in office who let down before , GO FIGURE

You confuse “dictator” with “fascist”. You confuse socialism and fascism. And now you’ve apparently figured out how to use a dictionary online and have arrived with a truncated definition of the word.

January 20th, 2009 at 6:09 pm549: Schumpeter didn’t say socialism would wipe out capitalism or beat it in a head to head fight.
Per Wikipedia:
Schumpeter’s theory is that the success of capitalism will lead to a form of corporatism and a fostering of values hostile to capitalism, especially among intellectuals. The intellectual and social climate needed to allow entrepreneurship to thrive will not exist in advanced capitalism; it will be replaced by socialism in some form. There will not be a revolution, but merely a trend in parliaments to elect social democratic parties of one stripe or another. He argued that capitalism’s collapse from within will come about as democratic majorities vote for the creation of a welfare state and place restrictions upon entrepreneurship that will burden and destroy the capitalist structure.
January 20th, 2009 at 6:09 pmHey, look– a social democracy is the happiest place on Earth:

KLC – you seem to be a rather reasonable sort – but I think you may be a bit confused about liberals, progressives and those “on the left.” I cannot really decipher where you stand politically but to suggest that “the left” are afraid of dissent is disingenuous. Because this thread was initially about Rush Limbaugh hoping for the failure of our President, and thus our country, many naturally rebuked him and his statement (I called him a piece of rat crap and a selfish oaf). But yes, he can pretty much say anything he wants – and those that disagree are also allowed to express how they feel.
There has been a huge amount of anger and divisiveness in this country for a long time, but anger, divisiveness, pointing fingers of blame and staking out sides only contributes to the dysfunction. I strongly believe that most people can found common ground if they try.
January 20th, 2009 at 6:21 pmoops, can find…
January 20th, 2009 at 6:24 pmDoes anyone else see the irony of the philosophy of free market corrections, which has been proven a failure since the early 2000’s, has driven our economy to nationalization of the banking system and a more socialistic form of financial world. The wingnuts caused their worst fear to happen with their greed and fear. Wingers are a dead breed.

Oh right, what am I thinking, you have never had an original thought in your pathetic life, and it sounded good when the Oxymoron Limbaugh TOLD you to think his free speech rights were under attack when others disgreed with him OR treated him the way he treats everyone. Look you are too stupid to be here. Go back to the little kids table where such idiocy passes as wisdom. You know Redstate, FreeRepublicanSewer and Planet Wingnut. My GOD you are ignorant
January 20th, 2009 at 6:28 pm#561 URAGreatAmerican -
If you look at the evolutionary path of modern capitalism, we see efficiencies of scale reducing choices. You end up with a handful of companies dominating their respective markets. It’s almost a command and control economy, except that the CEO’s run them instead of a faceless bureaucrats. Results seem to be pretty much the same. The workers still get shafted and the consumer has no real choices. Extreme capitalism seems to eventually converge with it’s mortal enemy, communism.
Seems like if we really want to foster entrepreneurial capitalism, we need to recognize the role of government in regulating the freemarkets and discouraging M&A’s that add no social value other than creating more profits for stockholders.

I hereby apologize for the left wing for hurting your feelings. We didn’t realize that you were so sensitive about how we felt about you.
Perhaps y’all shouldn’t have woken up every morning for most of my life thinking “gee, what can I do to piss off elbruce for today? I know, let’s leverage racist politics, start some wars, strip away rights, shred the constitution, support economic injustice, start some more wars, and justify it all with completely insane bugf**k up-is-down logic whenever anybody complains.” My hatred of you is perfectly rational. It is in fact, the only rational response to Evil in the world.
It’s too bad you think that’s unfair. You and all your filthy kind are evil, and you must be stopped at all costs. I’m not particularly concerned with how much that hurts your widdow feelings.
Afraid of being taken from your homes, put into camps, and tortured? Maybe you should be, seeing as how it’s what you’ve been trying to do to everybody else.

What a speech! Sober, realalistic. But a call to action. to make our Country better.
killtheconnies,
It was a Republican President who pushed for and signed the Emancipation Proclamation, which freed the slaves.
And another Republican who established the National Park System which preserves national treasures for us all to enjoy.
Comparing the political parties to their incarnations of several decades before is a false comparison. Today’s Republicans would never have supported the Emancipation Proclamation, nor would they have wanted to create the National Park System. Do not confuse Lincoln with today’s Republicans, nor conservationism with conservatism.

Why is it a crime for stockholders to make a profit? Do you own stock? Do you own a mutual fund? How do you save money?
The name calling should really stop. Obama appears to be a very classy individual. I can’t say I like all his friends. I would expect that if he is going to be labeled anything he would solely want to be called President and not black President or first anything. I expect him to be a good role model there. Follow that lead and stop labeling everyone with opposing views with insulting labels (racist, sexist, trolls, stupid…). If you can’t win an argument on an issue, take your name calling somewhere more appropriate.

Um…no. I believe your message is that you could be both Progressive and a Republican at the same time. “Progressive” and “Conservative” are virtually opposite political ideologies and “Democratic” and “Republican” are political parties. What you’re saying is that you can be tall and short at the same time.
And yes — there was a time in our history when it was the Republican Party who represented the progressive ideology. But they don’t anymore. That doesn’t stop conservatives from brandishing the names of old progressive Republicans to bolster their argument that they’re the good guys and Democrats are the bad ones. It would be amusing if you didn’t seriously expect us to buy that.
January 20th, 2009 at 6:59 pmEl Bruce,

You have made my point better than I could have.
You fearful, angry liberals just crack me up.
By the way – you are welcome for your freedom to spew this hatred and bullsh*t. I was happy to serve this great country to protect that right for you.

Yeah, because it’s so unAmerican to want to voice our opinions about someone like Rush with a big microphone and a bigger mouth, who desperately wants to keep the country divided so that he can keep his multi-million-dollar job. Voicing our opinions would just divide the country, don’t you know?
January 20th, 2009 at 7:03 pmI cannot believe the ignorance posted today. It’s like I’m reading the 5-star comments on AOL.
I don’t even know where to address all of the lies that have been spewed by conservatives on this post. I don’t even think I will, because it’s pretty obvious where it’s coming from today.
You’re angry because not only did your man not win, but the ENTIRE WORLD knows that Bush, your anointed one (in your words, talking about Obama) was a complete failure. Not because progressives were rooting for him to fail (how does that make sense in your head, anyway?), but because he failed the world, and Americans especially, in almost every way.
even further- you yourselves have a sinking suspicion you’ve been duped. all of the corporate interests laughing at you all the way to the bank as they promised you a ‘Christian’ nation. You’re angry because you were stupid enough to be fooled. Of course you’d come here to attack the people who most likely had the sense to not believe the post-9-11 bs you guys gleefully swallowed.
this is undeniable. The twisting of reality must be making your atrophied brain very tired. i suggest you read a few most posts on here, connect the dots a little, and then be seated when reality hits you HARD.
January 20th, 2009 at 7:04 pm599 Wayne. Prove it. You can spend all day projecting opinions on everyone else. Prove to me that I am a racist that wants to demolish the planet and all inhabitants – all because I am a conservative. Facts can be true or false, opinions are another animal.
January 20th, 2009 at 7:05 pmWell Wayne,
I am a Republican and I would support those if they were proposed today.
MissHusseinMolly,
If you buy the definitions of Conservative that the Downstream Media feed you, yes you are correct.
In my book, Conservative means those who hold to a certain set of principles and sometimes, it takes progressive policies to effect those ideals.
Example – I believe in the Equality of All regardless of race, gender, religion, creed, sexual orientation, color or origin – I would cling to those values and fight and die to protect them.
Should anyone attempt to tread on that ideal, I would oppose it – no matter what anyone might call me.
You remember the last line of the little ditty kids sing,
“…names will never hurt me.”

I really don’t know anyone who hates Republicans or conservatives (well, okay Rush is hated) – most of us have friends and relatives who are Repbublicans.
I consider myself a social progressive and a fiscal conservative, and to me, being fiscally conservative does not mean giving unneeded tax cuts to the super rich while burning the people’s hard earned tax dollars on two unnecessary (and illegal) wars and destroying the middle class. What has ocurred in the last eight years has been a nightmare for all of us – perhaps on that we can agree. But what did anyone expect from a man who has failed at everthing he’s ever done? So let’s all toast our new President – and please, America, never again vote for the imbecile you’d like to have a beer with. Deal?
January 20th, 2009 at 7:08 pmLadies and gentlemen –
I’m sorry I’m late to the thread, and I see it has already become polluted with trolls whose comments are so mind-boggling in their stupidity that there’s really not much way to respond to them.
Nevertheless, I’d like to offer a comment on the original topic. If Rush Limbaugh believes that liberalism is so awful and will end life as we know it, why does he “hope” for its failure? Couldn’t he waste less energy hoping and just sit back and be confident it’s going to happen — that is, if he really believes that Obama and his ideology spells doom for this country?
Of course not. He hopes Obama will fail, he hopes liberalism will fail, and he hopes the Democratic Party will fail. Only because his career depends on it. He’s scared to death that if enough people see that Obama succeeds, he’ll lose viewers.

By the way – you are welcome for your freedom to spew this hatred and bullsh*t. I was happy to serve this great country to protect that right for you.
First of all, you were never in the armed forces. The Internet is for lying about your personal life. Which is why I never proffer information in the context of a debate, and I believe none.
Second of all, you didn’t give me the 1st Amendment. Liberals did.
I might as well say “you’re welcome” to you, since every time the right wing has ever gained power in any nation on Earth, it has immediately attempted to restrict all civil and human rights and start as many wars as possible. If it weren’t for the left resisting your ilk, you wouldn’t have any rights today.
The only reason that you really think the left wing wants to throw you in camps and kill you is because you’re projecting. That’s what right wing movements have always done to your enemies whenever you’ve obtained enough power to pull it off. Bergen-Belsen. Gitmo. But the thing is, whether we hate you or not, we’re better than that. That’s what defines us.

January 20th, 2009 at 7:15 pmLook,
Rush is an “entertainer” – though it sounds like you’re not too entertained by him. But that is what he is. His attempt to get his name in lights in the blogosphere has worked – that’s what he does.
He is not an intellectual, he does not ponder deep questions or complex political conundrums.
He is a populist – so don’t worry about him – he has no power.
Let us instead engage in fruitful dialog without the anger, hatred and name-calling.
Let’s be civil to one another – we are all Americans, and Barack Obama is our president….
even if we disagree with him on policies – he is still my president.
January 20th, 2009 at 7:17 pmBush did fail at many things. He did not fail at stifling those people hell bent on destroying western civilization. The rest of the world with thank him over time. History repeats itself. Clowns rise up and try to oppress and good people stand in the way to protect freedom. In time the good he did will be appreciated. The things he ignored and voted present, not so much.

If you buy the definitions of Conservative that the Downstream Media feed you, yes you are correct.
In my book, Conservative means those who hold to a certain set of principles and sometimes, it takes progressive policies to effect those ideals.
Example – I believe in the Equality of All regardless of race, gender, religion, creed, sexual orientation, color or origin – I would cling to those values and fight and die to protect them.
That’s a liberal principle. Every time it’s been instantiated on the planet, that ideal has been vigorously opposed by the conservatives of the time.
You don’t just get to make up the definitions of words, silly.

I respectfully disagree with your conclusions, in part because I disagree with your assumed premise. If the polls published by Military Times (or whatever) regarding troops’ attitudes toward the war are to be believed (and I don’t), then one has to conclude that the troops in Iraq do not understand the truth about why they are there. Some polls indicate that 90% of them believe Iraq attacked us on 9/11. If their opinions are based on this kind of misinformation, then it makes no sense to say that they support staying there, because they don’t know the truth about why they are there in the first place.

1. You have no evidence whatsoever for your claim of polling opinions on the military. None such exists.
2. The “armchair soldiers” are the ones saying that we should start preventive wars all around the world. We call them “chickenhawks,” or “the 101st chairborne.”
3. How exactly does being in the infantry make one an expert on geopolitics? That’s like saying a plumber is an architect.
4. One of the great things about civilian control of the military is that they don’t get to decide what wars they start.

January 20th, 2009 at 7:29 pmNowinchains, I’ll repeat (more or less) what I said to another troll recently: do you hide under your bed in fear? I was about 50 miles north of NYC on 9/11, where were you? I don’t fear another attack, and I have never been frightened enough by the right’s bogeymen to want to give up ANY of my rights to feel “safe”. Nothing that Bush has done over the past 8 years has made me feel any “safer” than I did before 9/11. Your argument about “they’re gonna bring it back to us” makes about as much sense as Bush’s ‘we can’t leave Iraq because the terrorists will follow us home.’ As if “the terrorists” had no idea where we lived! And if you walk around ready to wet your pants in fear, ready to give up your rights in fear, then the “terrorists” have won.

January 20th, 2009 at 7:38 pmElbruce:
I completely agree with your response to Nowinchains, and would add that those who were higher-ranking officers in disagreement with the Bush regime were subsequently replaced with those who were.
This is a common indictment of progressive people- that they cowardly criticize on the sidelines as good red-blooded Americans do the dirty work of protecting them.
Instead, the reality is that this country has consistently exploited its young men, ESPECIALLY those of lower classes with less education prospects to do the dirty work of maintaining its empire. Progressives support our troops by wanting them to come home, to not believe the lies told them, and for them not to participate in the violence used to for resources and power.
The ‘if we don’t go there, they’re gonna bring it back to us’ quote perfectly illustrates the ignorace being passed around. If we hadn’t gone there (I mean our role over decades of US meddling, bullying, and killing), there would be less radical islamic jihadists to contend with.

Well, that book is just the author’s opinions, which are often unrelated to the facts. Believe it or not, this is very common in books published by Regnery. Unfortunately, the poster above was citing it as if it were fact-based.
January 20th, 2009 at 7:44 pmdixie blood: “I thought the “flipside” of hope was despair. And the opposite of fear is bravery, right?”
If you look at hope as expectation of a desired outcome, fear as expectation of an undesired outcome, then yes, fear and hope are opposites. Despair is the absence of hope. Bravery I guess is the absence of fear, and courage is going forward in spite of fear.

“In my book, Conservative means those who hold to a certain set of principles and sometimes, it takes progressive policies to effect those ideals.”
– Oh really? So, in your book, anybody who holds to a certain set of principles is a conservative? Are you saying that a conservative is the opposite of a wishy-washy flip-flopper? Then I assume you voted for Obama instead of McCain.
“Example – I believe in the Equality of All regardless of race, gender, religion, creed, sexual orientation, color or origin – I would cling to those values and fight and die to protect them.”
– We liberals believe this, too. This is why we support the rights of gays to marry, oppose racial profiling, and deplore stamping the “terrorist” label on all adherents of a major worldwide religion just because a few crackpots with twisted views chose to commit horrific acts against our country. Who knew these were “conservative” views? I guess our latest ex-president wasn’t much of a conservative.
By the way — is this the only “principle” you hold steadfastly to? How do you feel about environmental protection? Health care reform? Education? Being spied on by our government? The right of women to choose what they do with their bodies? Capital punishment? Care to demonstrate views that are simultaneously conservative and progressive on these issues?

That’s not how the real world of facts and logic works. By your method, two insane people in a padded cell could write down opinions in crayon, hand them to each other and then believe what was written, and it’s just as valid as the world outside of their cell. There is a such thing as truth.

January 20th, 2009 at 8:10 pmWell said ElBruce, well said.
The, once respectable, mantle of “conservatism” was hijacked by authoritarians, nationalists and xenophobes. The fall of the GOP began with the defection of the “dixiecrats”. Filth was legitimized when Regan embraced the hate of Fallwell. And the party of Lincoln doomed itself with the deification of George W. Bush.
Now? Our nation and the world have an opportunity to begin to redress the wrongs of “conservative” American idiocy. It will take decades to outlive the shame. The guilt will last as long as history itself.
The Bush administration has made America, victim of a horrible attack, a rogue nation. A criminal nation. A nation that has done more evil than our enemies.
That’s the Bush legacy.

The only things resembling WMD that were found were remnants from the Iran-Iraq War. Nothing new was found, and it turns out that the inspectors in 1998, who said the vast majority of the WMD were destroyed, were right. Sorry if that doesn;t match what the right-wing talking heads are saying.

January 20th, 2009 at 9:36 pmJane, keep your eyes open for Domaine Saint Vincent, which sounds impressive but comes out of New Mexico.

In almost eight years of being there, one sarin shell was found, and one mustard gas shell – both thirty years old and partially degraded. Total. You’re saying those two shells are why we were so skeered of Saddam? Besides, I could find more than that in Saskatchewan, given the whole U.S. army and eight years.
I thought you were in denial of the sarin gas. Guess not.
I believe that you are an Idaho potato sitting on a computer keyboard. That doesn’t make it true.
January 20th, 2009 at 10:07 pmI see yobama is already backpedaling on his campaign promises. Of course he said anything to get elected and now he has too many little groups yapping at his heels to pay them back.
ElBruce, you are on fire. Thanks for the yucks.
January 20th, 2009 at 10:08 pmWhat’s the matter little rushbot, did that potato comment hit too close to home so you had to change the subject? Typical right wing cowardice.
January 20th, 2009 at 10:11 pmFunny Rush didn’t mention this little blurb on his show today.
January 20th, 2009 at 10:11 pmMaybe it’s because he had too many things to talk about and with the new pResident (stole that one from the libs) he has a good 4 years of poop to scoop.
Add the hillamonster to the mix and let the jokes begin!!!!!!
Bad news for yobama supporters. He said a 4 letter word.

Good question. Syria has played ball with America after 9/11, must have scared them straight.
Are you volunteering to inspect Syria?
I love this one. I can see my house on Google Satellite, but the CIA couldn’t see Saddam Hussein moving all of his WMD across the barren desert to Syria.
January 20th, 2009 at 10:17 pmWhen were they claimed ‘found’? Everyone knows the WMD’s were moved to Syria.
Not in the least bit true. Who proved to you that the WMDs existed and were moved to Syria?
January 20th, 2009 at 10:19 pmI’ve made my points. You liberal losers (you know who you are) are going to be more and more disappointed every day with your new lacky in office. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.
This is now boring. I’ll let you implode on your own. Hope your change is better than yesterday and tomorrow gives you more change and hope and in 4 years you will be so full of change and hope you will need a diet.
Bye all, it’s been real, and it’s been fun and it’s been REAL FUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That’s what they’re starting to do, since Iran doesn’t seem to be panning out. First I heard of this was a couple days ago from another wingnut. If they can’t get the gubmint to slaughter the Syrian populace for their blood God, then they’ll just move on to the UAE or something.

January 20th, 2009 at 11:16 pmLimbaugh’s anti-Americanism is well known. He was wishing for riots in the streets of Denver during the Democratic Convention–he was rooting for Americans to be hurt and killed. He wants the American president to fail and for America to sink deeper into its problems. I wouldn’t question anyone’s patriotism simply because their politics differed from mine, but Limbaugh is clearly by his own words anti-American, wishing harm on his country and fellow citizens.
Obviously he has every right to go on saying what he says, and I’m glad he has that First Amendment right. It exposes him clearly for what he is.

There is nothing more I would love to see than a far right wing hypocritical idiot expresses their profound stupidity and ignorance all over the blogs. This is pure entertainment to me, and I couldn’t get enough of these rabid idiotic dogs, lol.

January 21st, 2009 at 12:05 amGood God, the wingnuts really did come out of the woodwork like cockroaches and boy did they lose it in the process today, and I am loving it. Their posts were even more insane and vitriolic than usual. They have accused our new president of being a communist, a marxist, a socialist, the anti-christ, a terrorist, responsible for the crappy economy and he’s only been in office 12 hours. At this rate, by tomorrow the Lindberg baby kidnapping and the dinosaur extinction will be his fault.
These people have proven they care nothing about this country, they hate America. They only care about their marginalized, for now on perpetually minority party. Welcome to the scrap heap of history, couldn’t happen to a more deserving lot of trash.

Do you hate the name “Hussein” only because of Saddam Hussein? Did you know that King Hussein of Jordan was a staunch friend of the United States? So much so he married one of our citizens. Is your knowledge of world history limited to the last eight years?

On another topic, the labels “conservative” and “liberal” are pretty much inoperative in explaining ideological affinity today. I suggest replacing them with more meaningful labels ‘criminal incompetence’ if you support the basic Republican/Limbaugh tenets of politics. ‘lawful competence’ if you are of the Democrat/Obama persuation.

He is not an all American Patriot … he is about as far removed as one could be …. What ARE his values ?

In fairness, it was Ari Fleischer who threatened any Americans who questioned this administration. Soon after the Anthrax attacks, IIRC. Of course he was the WH communications director, so ultimately those were Dimson’s words that he was conveying. Makes sense…as Bush told us numerous times, his life would be easier if he was a Dictator.
This question is intriguing-
So where are Limbaugh’s allegiances ?
I think his allegieence is to the USD. Find out who’s willing to pay him and Hannity a combined $250MM and you got the source of his allegience. Wouldn’t surprise me if Kingdom Holdings is the ultimate sugar daddy. Kingdom Holdings is Saudi Arabia’s primary investment vehicle and hold very influential positions in CNN and NewsCorp.
I wonder if the brainwashed followers of Rush and Sean realize that Saudi Arabia may be influencing how these ‘news’ outlets are reporting ME events? If ‘rushisright’ is typical, I’m guessing they are completely clueless on how they’ve been manipulated.

January 21st, 2009 at 8:09 amFrom what I’ve heard and read, Limbaugh styles himself a conservative (he’s a jackass is more like it) and that despite he’s almost being half-illiterate, still enjoys great following in the US as a conservative talk show host, somoene who seems to exert influence over a vast number of feeble-minded people.
Mr Limbaugh, by publicly hoping for President Obama to fail at a time when America is engaged in a war on two fronts and is involved in one of the most disastrous financial phenomena of recent times, is effectively sounding his bugle for a call to arms against America itself, an act that’s wholly unpatriotic, almost akin to terrorism.
January 21st, 2009 at 8:18 amSome of the most incredible comments directed against President Obama I found are so virulent that they are almost laughable in their parochialism but I have yet to see a comment even in the most unreasonable neo-con blogs here and here, as vile and as contemptuous as Limbaugh’s.
January 21st, 2009 at 8:21 amThis man represents the worst of our country. I hope that his audience of minions only diminishes in the years to come. Our country needs to move beyond the hate of people like Rush.

I was against them complaining about the patriotism of those who opposed the President when it was their President. I realize they’re being inconsistent, but that’s no reason to be inconsistent ourselves. We shouldn’t do the same.
January 21st, 2009 at 10:07 amRUSH IS RIGHT, Mr. Obama plans to make this country less safe, redistribute the money from the people who work to those who choose not to, and will continue to associate with people who want to kill every Jew in the world and those who shout ” GOD ___ America”.
The best to Mr. Obama and is family but his policies are way to liberal. Mr Bush, is a man of honor, that will be missed in the White House.

January 21st, 2009 at 11:38 amYeah hoppy, the Republican majorities in both Houses and in control of the White House were neutralized by Barney Frank in 2004. All they could do was stand by helplessly, warning the Democratic minority while wringing their hankies with great angst.
Your examples of great Americans indicate that character judgments are not one of your strong suits.
January 21st, 2009 at 12:00 pmI had fervetnly hoped when the buffoon who used to President would take all of his right wing nut people with him. the only way to shut up people such as Limbaugh is to ignore them and not give them a forum for their lies. Limbaugh misses being in the forefront of the ultra conservative limelight.
January 21st, 2009 at 12:07 pmIf all of you were anti-Bush the past 8 years and don’t consider yourselves anti-American, then consider the hypocrisy of calling Rush anti-American for being anti-Obama.
Also keep in mind that 9/11 wasn’t the first attack on us by the Islamists. To think that Bush started that war is extremely short sighted. The planning didn’t start in January 2001. The war started well before W. He tried to end it. It is pretty impressive that the Soviets couldn’t make headway in Afghanistan, but W’s leadership at least gave the Taliban a relocation package to the mountains.
January 21st, 2009 at 12:39 pmI do believe that there is a lot of HOPE that the republicans have been marginalized to the point of no longer being dangerous, but that is not the case. Limpballs’ ratings may be down, but he still has a LOT of loyal listeners, most of whom accept his words as god’s own truth just because he said them. These people (and I use that term loosely) are still here, and they still are clinging to various levels of power — not what they had the last 8 years, but they didn’t suddenly fall into a vaccuum. And Limbaugh is one of the top propoganda catapults for the GOPers, and remains so. It is the positions that he presents that will be parroted by the reichwingers in the days to come. So, no, he is not marginalized — he is very relevant.
To ignore him would be the greater evil, for then his comments could go unchecked and un-fact-checked, which is what he would like, as he could then say truly anything he wanted to his followers.
There is no point to “shutting him up” if he is just speaking his opinion. He may do so. However, if his speech is (as it has been) to incite criminal acts of any kind (to include civil disobedience, which he has also whined for) then he should be punished by law (there ARE things you cannot say — freedom of speech does NOT mean “say whatever you want”. I know — you reichwingers can’t get that, it’s too grey for you — but try to keep up. You cannot say ANYTHING: threats, inciting others to be criminal, etc. are illegal, and should be.).
However, this also does not mean that he is entitled to broadcast (over public airwaves, mind you — ooohhh, spooky socialist thing we have (possibly even communist)….. ooohhh, spoooookkyyyy…..) anything he wants — particualrly asking for people to riot, or other such comments. I would not object to his making his comments on a web site of his own, or on his own cable show. But broadcast waves, which anyone can pick up (part of why they are, and always have been, considered the property of the public) should not be allowed for use of any such hate. The fairness doctrine needs to be instituted, but only in public broadcast medium.

If all of you were anti-Bush the past 8 years and don’t consider yourselves anti-American, then consider the hypocrisy of calling Rush anti-American for being anti-Obama.
As your comment stands, it is true, and I support it. However, you assume agreement in defining the terms that you created for your argument. What exactly does “anti-Bush” entail? I can tell you that at no point did I ever HOPE that he failed, because every single failure by our president is a failure for America. Period. No, I was dismayed at his failures, and I hoped that he would have gained a soul, or some morality, or at least some honesty or common sense. I spoke poorly of him and the things he did (after he did them, not before), but that was because I didsagreed with them. I never, and to my recollection never heard even a blogger (much less a national figure) state that they HOPED HE WOULD FAIL. And that was in the best times.
Such a comment is ’sour grapes’. Being from Rush, a radio personality with a following, it is also a suggestion — implying obstruction is necessary. Why would anyone hope that the president fails? Any failure of the president, or “the presidents policies” means failure for us, the country.
You hope his policies fail? then you hope that we do not get out of the recession, that we do not improve our situation in the wars we are in (and, in fact, “fail” at them), that any other diplomacy we engage in fails, that everything we do as a nation the next 4 years fails. And this is just “hope”, based purely on the fact that there is a disagreement of political ideology. However, your disagreement has no proof positive that the policies that he has yet to enact, or even propose, are bad for the country. Of course, that last statement is conjecture that that is a concern of yours. Perhaps you are more like Rush — party first period. Country be damned.
For Rush, it is clear from HIS policies and politics that he hopes that the DEMOCRAT fails in everything he does (and that the worse it is for the country, the better). Now, how is this attitude NOT unpatriotic. I do not say that he cannot have a differing opinion — yes he can, and he is free to vocalize that opinion. But “I hope he fails” is not an opinion. “I think that his mideast policy is reckless, and here is why…” THAT is an opinion. “I hope he fails” is a wish, not an opinion.
I beileve that GW Bush is a criminal of epic proportions (and I do). That is an opinion. “I hope that GW Bush goes to jail for his crimes” is not an opinion — it is a wish, a desire. There is a distict difference, and a difference in perception of the listener to such comments. To a Rush fan who will take what he says as fact simply because he said it, then that desire, that wish, can easily be mistaken as a comment of some kind of fact — a prophecy that needs a little help to fulfill. There begins the journey to something that is definetely not patriotic.
But I think the main point of many throwing around he ‘unpatriotic’ brand from the left right now is because for the last 8 years anyone, ANYONE who did not agree 100% with the Bush admin was labeled as “unpatriotic”, and publicly so (to include by Rush, and others who now feel it is patriotic to be a voice of dissent). So, the con/neocon/ republicans want to be the rulers of definitions as it serves them? This is hypocricy. Those who think that too many lives and too much money were wasted in Iraq were labeled as unpatriotic simply for having that differing opinion — simply because they questioned the president. Now, those who did that labelling are saying that all of a sudden it is NOW o.k. — even patriotic — to me a differing voice. Well, some people don’t like the altered definitions, and sticking by the one shoved down our throats the last 8 years, that makes Ruch unpatriotic, and anyone else who strongly disagrees with the president. Fair enough to use the terms and definitions that Rush supported and used for at least 8 years to judge him by, is it not? Or should we just allow poeple, like Rush, to make words mean what they want? Should we leave it to Rush (and other talk-show personages) to determine what and who IS partiotic?
January 21st, 2009 at 1:14 pmHas the AMA literature featured information about this oxy-contin side effect?
January 21st, 2009 at 1:17 pmTo Everyone: While I can agree with quite a large number of the comments made, please remember that a lot of what Rush says is calculatedly done in order to pull your chain (which he quite obviously did). Mr. Limbaugh is simply a pill popping a__hole with a big mouth that’s used to get ratings and listenership for right wing radio stations. Like most of his ilk he talks out of both sides of his mouth saying many contradictory things depending on whether he considers his subject to be liberal/progressive or conservative. He and the other right wing pundits and talking heads are marginalized at the moment so they have nothing better to do than growl and howl at the moon. Remember a few weeks ago they were gleefully yapping about how the progressives/transition team were scaling back their estimates of how many people would show up for President Obama’s inauguration. Now that the original estimates were proven right, now that President Bush was booed out of Washington, and now that most of the rest of the world has been cheered by the last election, they’re awfully quiet and don’t have a lot to say.
January 21st, 2009 at 1:33 pmMr. Limbaugh is an empty-headed talking suit who has popped too many pills. He’s on the outside now so I don’t think we should expect anything substantive from him for the next 8 years! Just blather!
January 21st, 2009 at 1:38 pmRush Limbaugh–You are as dumb as you look….
January 21st, 2009 at 1:57 pmIt may not be the popular thing to do here (defend Rush if even in the slightest bit), but in the interest of objectivity and truth, I do feel it is important to point out that the article is a strawman and does not post the context of Rush’s rant.
He is arguing that he hopes Obama fails in rolling out liberal policies (as Rush sees them as dangerous). He is not suggesting that he hopes Obama fails to protect the nation or correct the economy, etc…
The full transcript is here:
Just thought I’d throw in some objectivity here.

Actually NO. The target of his inane rantings is NOT to pull our chain. THAT is an excuse he can roll out whenever he says something so outrageous everyone outside of the deranged Limborg sees it as assinine. THEN he says its a joke, we are being played and so on. THAT is a dodge to keep him beyond accountability for being a jerk while he goes about his REAL agenda throwing red meat to his troglydite, knuckledragging base. It becomes uncomfortable for him when his ACTUAL WORDS are spread beyond his deranged moronic base. He doesnt WANT his spew spread beyond those brainwashed enough to find him reasonable when he is being a hatefilled jerk. THAT is what they I am pulling your chain excuse is for. To STOP the spreading of his ignorant rants to reasonable people who will be appalled. Dont buy into it. When you do he is manipulating you like a puppet
January 21st, 2009 at 2:19 pmO BY, you guys still rewriting history. April 2001 Bush admin warns there are problems 2003 again Barney is warned and pushes for stronger regulations,2004 Mrs. Waters, and Mr. Meek said there are no problems,the liberal democrats did this to our country not Mr. Bush. You really need to read more.

the article is a strawman and does not post the context of Rush’s rant.
True that the full context is not posted, however that does not make the argument a strawman.
He is arguing that he hopes Obama fails in rolling out liberal policies (as Rush sees them as dangerous).
First of all, Rush does not describe his opinion of these ‘dangerous liberal policies’ — he is still only presenting his desire – his wish, but not an opinion (informed or otherwise). Now, as we proceed, we will assume that Rush sees ANY policies of Obama’s as “liberal”, since Obama is a Democrat 9and thus a “liberal”). Therefore, ANY obama policy will be ‘liberal’, and, consequently Rush opposes any policy of Obamas. Simply because he sees Obama as a “liberal”, and no other cause.
He is not suggesting that he hopes Obama fails to protect the nation or correct the economy, etc…
Certainly he just did do that. His comments are broad – Obama’s policies are liberal, and all of Obama’s policies should be fought against. But let us look at the quotes you provided.
I know what his politics are. I know what his plans are, as he has stated them. I don’t want them to succeed.
O.k. Pretty straightforward: Obama’s politics and Obama’s plans are what Rush wants to see fail. Now, aside from politics and plans, what is left? Policy is influenced by politics and plans are founded in policy and politics.
If I wanted Obama to succeed, I’d be happy the Republicans have laid down. And I would be encouraging Republicans to lay down and support him.
Really we have the crux of it here: party first. It is all about the republicans either ruling or being lap dogs. No other options exist in the republican bi-polar worldview. One is hard pressed to find a republican who actually understands what the concept of COMPROMISE entails (republican definition from the last 8 years: compromise means the minority does what the majority says). Rush, and the hardcore republicnas like him will never, ever, ever, compromise with a “liberal”, nor a democrat, nor anyone else not republican. Part of being republican seems to require that one cannot admit to any mistakes (always someone elses’ fault), one cannot compromise, and it is ALL about being ‘top dog’, and top dog makes the rules. Very authoritarian in concept.
Look, what he’s talking about is the absorption of as much of the private sector by the US government as possible, from the banking business, to the mortgage industry, the automobile business, to health care. I do not want the government in charge of all of these things. I don’t want this to work.
And funny thing, he doesn’t say that these things cannot work. He cannot provide sound reasons why one might believe that these things cannot work. That is not the issue to him. “I DON’T WANT THIS TO WORK.” — “WANT” that is desire – wishes. He offers no reasons, beyond vague idoelogy that he expects his listeners to alredy agree with. He does not want “the other team’s” plans to work. Simple competition. Not any concern for what is good for the country, it is concern over “his team” and its loss of power. He firmly states that the republicans should be OBSTRUCTING Obama at every possible turn. Now there’s some good old partiotic politicin’ for ya’.
So, in short, the headline of this article IS accurate in that it is a quote, AND it encapsulates what he says and believes. He doesn’t care about the country, he cares about his political party AND seeing the “other” political party fail simply because they are the other team. No other reasons.
January 21st, 2009 at 3:06 pmOf course, every word Rush says is taken out of context, it’s the way of the liberal press. They haven’t built him up so they can’t take him down.
January 21st, 2009 at 3:12 pmHe laughes every time he mentions the ‘drive by media’.
Rush cares more deeply for America than obama ever could. Rush has done more for individuals than all the liberals combined.
He laughs at obama’s attempt to blame Bush for everything wrong with the world. The reality is that the democrats in congress forced banks to give loans to people that had now way or intention of paying them back and now the ‘chickens have come hoooooooooooome to rooooooooooooooooost’.
I wonder if shoe-tossing is going to become a way to disagree with all politicians or if it’s just a Bush thing.
Well said rushisright.
January 21st, 2009 at 3:29 pmThe statement by Rush “I hope he fails” is statement that he hopes the United States of America fails. At this very moment in time, we are not really Liberal, Democratic, Republican or any other party affiliate. Not until our economic engine stops spewing oil from its manifold. If you didn’t check the notes Mr. Limbaugh, it was a Republican Tresury secretary and a Republican White house that helped to breathe air onto a firestorm that allowed Wall Street to go unchecked for so long. To simply dismiss Obama as a Liberal, and you don’t like Liberals ergo you want Obama to fail in light of our economy is a vote for anarchy. Congratulations Rush, you’ve ascended to a higher level of stupidity.
January 21st, 2009 at 3:50 pmSo Rush wants Obama’s policies to fail. If Barack continues to pursue Bush-Republican failed policies, he’ll be willing to support him? Do I have the essential Limbaugh argument correct?
Now that’s an argument OBL could get behind.
rushisright, you sound sound like a real Rush fan. Your defense of him @ 759 is almost comical in the reverential prose that is employed. You are the prototypical ditto-head. Not too bright, but easily manipulated. Just the demographic he shoots for.
January 21st, 2009 at 3:51 pmI think that a comment like this constitutes ‘terrorism’. What do you guys think, is Rush a terrorist???
Vote:
Yes (x)
January 21st, 2009 at 3:57 pmNo ( )
Rush is an ***hole. What a loser, I have heard his radio show also and he should be taken off the air. He should be arrested for talking against our President. He wants this country to fail, let him pay for all the people to get healthcare, let him buy homes for all who lost their homes. He should go live in Iraq in a cave with Osama.
January 21st, 2009 at 4:19 pmBystander ,lets try this one more time, liberalism does not work, not now, not here, not anywhere.Never has, never will. HELLO!!!
That DOGMOM63 what a class act, at least RUSH isn’t a potty mouth,bad liberal, bad. Staaaaay, Staaaay good girl.

Heh.
hey, DOGMOM may be a pottymouth but it seems like hopsyng and Rush are totally full of crap.
Another devastating analysis from hoppy. With such a deep and penetrating critique of liberalism, I have to ask – from what cereal box did you read and copy that sweeping indictment? Or is this a verbatim quote from the junkie Alpha-Monkey himself?
January 21st, 2009 at 5:53 pmTake another Oxycontin, Rush. It’ll be ok.
January 21st, 2009 at 7:00 pmRush Limbaugh exemplifies the self-serving, Machiavellian mindset of the far right. Now we see the extent of his self-importance and self-righteousness.
Limbaugh and his ilk are ignoring the fundamental reality that, with respect to the U.S. economy and our standing in the world, when the President succeeds, we all share in his success. When the President fails, his failure reflects on all Americans.
Limbaugh would wish to see countless additional Americans lose their jobs, their retirement savings, and their homes, or witness more innocent lives lost at the hands of political extremists, merely so that he could sit back and gloat.
In short, Limbaugh is little more than a bombastic, bellicose blowhard.
January 21st, 2009 at 8:58 pmrush, like o’reilly and hannity and just about all the other right wing pundits are probably actually mentally ill. it is hard for liberals to accept but a part of our population is actually psycho- or socio-pathic. so we should not be surprised by such statements as this from rush. he whines for the rich man and he carries water for the rich man. he is as un-american as any talking head get be.
January 21st, 2009 at 9:01 pmRush Limbaugh is a traitor and money monger. He simply says these things to keep his ratings.
January 21st, 2009 at 10:05 pmSooner or later he will run out of morons to spew his sewage to.
Quit spreading your hate, Darth Bloviater. Guess what? You are going to fail. Epically. Because there is a humongous group of us non-sociopaths in this country that would never let your hanging-off-the-”right”-end-of-the-political-fence-super-nutty vision come to pass.
January 21st, 2009 at 11:58 pmThis idiot Limbaugh is an Un American sicko who belongs only on Fox with all the other sickos like Hannity, Bill O and Coulter.
January 22nd, 2009 at 1:15 amTHIS COMING FROM A CONFESSED AND CONVICTED DRUG ADDICT.
January 22nd, 2009 at 4:36 amHOW CAN ANYONE BELIEVE ANYTHING OR WANT TO HEAR ANYTHING THIS ” JUNKIE ” HAS TO SAY. THIS IS A GUY WHO WENT OUT ON ” THE CORNER ” TO BUY ILLEGAL DRUGS. HE IS NO DIFFERENT THAN A CRACK HEAD, HE JUST HAS MORE MONEY.
IT STRIKES ME AS INSANE THAT WITH THE COUNTRY BEING CLOSE TO A DEPRESSION, WITH MILLIONS OF AMERICANS OUT OF WORK AND UNABLE TO FEED THEIR FAMILIES AND THIS ” JUNKIE ” MAKES THIS STUPID STATEMENT AND THE REPUBLICANS STILL CONSIDER HIM THEIR ” VOICE “.
THE PROBLEMS WE FACE ARE NOT DEMOCRAT OR REPUBLICAN, THEY ARE AMERICAN PROBLEMS. THE WORLD IS EXPECTING US TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT OUR SAD SITUATION AND IF WE DON’T ALL PULL TOGETHER WE COULD SOON BE A THIRD WORLD COUNTRY.
As much as I despise this man and everything he stands for, I must stand behind his right to say what he thinks, no matter how twisted and out of touch with reality it might be.
However, there is no doubt in my mind that Mr. Limbaugh needs psychiatric help!
January 22nd, 2009 at 6:24 amRush Limbaugh loves to hear his own voice. It’s a shame that no one else besides the radical right does. He blindly supports a hopelessly inept political party that leads us into the worst economic disaster since the great depression, then turns on those that would try to get us out of this mess. I think he is not only wired backwards, he has no concept of the real world. He probably doesn’t belong in jail, but he is a definite candidate for a mental ward. He seems to enjoy the negative responses he invites. This man is probably psychotic and will one day reap the rewards of his ignorance and un-American rhetoric.
January 22nd, 2009 at 8:31 amLimbaugh is nothing but a big fat hypocritical man with a tiny little brain. How did he get to use his so-called platform to spout his idiotic beliefs? That he has a following is a scary thought… I wish he would crawl back under the slimy rock he came from.
January 22nd, 2009 at 11:46 amRush’s existence is based on conflict. If he can not create it he will not exist.
January 22nd, 2009 at 12:27 pmThis would suggest a fairly simple resolution to his open willingness to subvert our govt. Make no mistake Republicans are very aware of their current lost and wandering status and fear creating conflict with a president that has such a high approval rating. However,the Republican cat will not change its stripes and they are actively promoting Rush.
Rush’s plan of Government subversion should be dealt with as such. Our country is in severe need of unity and anyone spouting subversive harm should be taken seriously and held publicly accountable without providing healthy publicity. I would personaly like to see him banished from America and its Pharmacies. However, his existence does remind us that the Republican Parties Schemes are being hatched in dark places . Public sentiment today could easily turn and target this idiot for being the “Heart” and the Mouthpiece representing their plans.
With the public support Obama has today if Republicans were publicly attached to Rush’s idiology they would be forced to bury him and distance themselves. Either way Rush will suffer the very loss he wishes on everyone.
How poeticly simple. Call the Republicans to support or distance Rush and let them get rid of him!
Trust me if they are forced to answer any questions , they will separate themselves and claim he’s on his own or better.
So how do we get Republicans to Publicly respond to Rush’s hope for a failed America.??
The Republican Party will distance themselves from this idiots rhetoric and planned Govenment Subversion if publicly questioned on their support for Rush’s views.
January 22nd, 2009 at 12:41 pmRepublicans are currently lost in the wilderness and can not and will not accept the liability of Rush’s Anti American rhetoric. We have to publicly question Republican support for Rush’s intentions. They will distance themselves from him immediately leaving him and his mean spirited subversive nature to his dwindling listening audience.
While Republicans privately may support his views publicly they will hang him. Lets call for a Republican response to Rush,s subversive intents and let them finish him off.
Hit him where it hurts: His advertisers are

Rush Limbaugh is incapable of offering anything positive to our society. It is sad but true. This man is a drug addict, has been for sometime and probably still is. My question is why is he even on the air.
Regardless of his personal feelings for PRESIDENT OBAMA given the current economic crisis and the dismal failure of the previous government, any patriotic, sensible, decent American would welcome CHANGE.
Limbaugh, you need to stay in your drugged daze and SHUT YOUR MOUTH
January 22nd, 2009 at 2:34 pmI think that you a racist S.O.B. and it’s people like you that makes America look bad you should be ashamed why don’t you just embrace American decision and help America to be a better place.I’m opening up my hand to you change your ways let the past be in the past and let’s embrace the future.
January 22nd, 2009 at 7:32 pmRUSH ARE YOU AFRAID OF CHANGE WE THE PEOPLE WILL SUCCEED WITH OR WITHOUT PEOPLE LIKE YOU.
January 22nd, 2009 at 7:45 pmDon’t let this jacka!! Still our joy, regardless of what he may say or think just remember he is your President and there you have it and that’s all that matters.
January 23rd, 2009 at 8:03 amRUSH LIMBAUGH IS AWESOME!! If everyone would stop being zombies of Obama and open your eyes the people would see what Obama is really trying to do! Limbaugh (stated)and said hundreds of times he said He hopes Obama succeeds as president for the sake of the Us people however he hopes his policies fail! If obama is going to contiue down the path of socialism then yes he wants him to fail. Read up on your shit people!!!!!!
January 23rd, 2009 at 8:42 amActually, Rush isn’t being hypocritical. He is internally consistent. He doesn’t like people rooting for the “good guys” to fail . . . and Obama, as a liberal, does not fit his definition for “good” any more than Clinton did.
Limbaugh is more than capable of hypocrisy, but he’s not guilty of it in this case. Hate and bitterness, sure, but not hypocrisy.
Good job, by the way, in giving him the expansive coverage that he requested.
January 23rd, 2009 at 8:47 amYou know an elementary school decided to have a little presidental election at school. Two girls where elected to run for president. Both girls went out and got alot of votes from other kids and there parents. It came down to the day where they said a little speak and the one little girls states that ” If she was presient she would help take care of the school and the kids”. The other little girl steps up and states ” If she was president she would give everybody icecream”. The children in the school began Yes! Yes! we want icecream! So the teach asked the child how would you pay for the icecream? would it be the students pay for it or there parents? THe little girl didnt know how she would get the money how ever the kids didnt care they wanted icecream! Sounds familar! Obama promises are like icecream how is he going to pay for it??
January 23rd, 2009 at 8:49 amRush is a bloated Oxy idled gas bag who flirts with promoting racism and us vs them ideology to like minded sheep. He dances around his statements with a wink and a nod, hoping Obama’s policies fail is hoping Obama fails. If Obama fails, then at best America will spin it’s wheels for 4 years, at worse we go into an epic depression. And this is what they are hoping for in the name of right wing ideology.
Powell was right about Rush and the like. He speaks out against them and the nuts throw Powell under the bus.
I have to admit my leanings until 4 years ago were more conservative. I despise abortion, and think we can eliminate some of the quota type programs that exist because they are ineffectual. I am an Independent, not a Republican. And for a while some of the things the right was saying was making since, but then something happened. They started defending the indefensible, justifying what should not be justified all in the name of marching in goose step down the claustrophobically narrow paths of their ideology… right or wrong. I would never… ever… become a Republican.
Republicans approach … everything… from a negative point of view. By definition a Conservative opposes change, and this opposition usually comes from a fear that usually manifest itself in very personal ways. Rush capitalizes on these fears. It’s the same fear that they used to re-elect Bush and encourage the patriot act, it’s fear that allowed them to justify a big brother attitude in our country, the same fear allowed them to justify torture. They want to build a wall to keep the Mexicans out, why… fear.
They also think that they are the only ones who have jobs and pay taxes which plays in to the self-victimization aspect of their phobias, part of a persecution complex that they tend to exhibit.
They think patriotism is only in getting behind a war we know we shouldn’t be fighting and supporting the (Republican) president and his screwed up policies no matter what. But if the country needs the wealthy to ante up to help stabilize things… no way… they get to hugging on that piggy bank like it’s their own personal Jesus.
To you Republicans I say, don’t be scared, come to the middle. It won’t make you a commie. You can still say the pledge of allegiance, you can still love God.
Limbaugh has always sickened me. In the right he perpetuates hatred towards Liberals, and in the left the feelings are mutual. This much hatred can’t be good.
The likes of Limbaugh are a thorn in the side of America, a man determined by his own bank account and ego, to drive a permanent wedge in American society. It’s not for the benefit of America, it’s for the benefit of his bank account.
For the sake of America, people like Rush need to be marginalized as quickly as possible. Certainly they have the right of free speech but so do we. He is only on the air because his sponsors pay his check, want him gone… that’s where you make your views known.
There is a sponsors list that you can find by google, and a list of e-mail addresses. Three sponsors have already dropped him.
January 23rd, 2009 at 10:25 amJanuary 23rd, 2009 at 11:51 am
Rush Limbaugh needs to commit suicide and make everyone happy. I sure his family along with the rest of the country will be glad to see his ignorant behind 6 feet under concrete. He really needs to be gotten rid of.
January 23rd, 2009 at 11:59 amMaybe Pat Robertson can “take him out”.
January 23rd, 2009 at 2:02 pmOpen letter to Rush :
Rush, you were given four hundred words to give your view and you picked four of the most horrendous you could ever utter and call yourself an American: “I hope he fails.” I will use your other 396 to write you a rebuttal.
I served in the Navy under three Presidents, two Republicans and one Democrat. I did not agree with all of the policies of any of the three. However, my job, at the time, was to support and defend the Constitution of the United States. You do remember the Constitution don’t you? It gives you, an uber-conservative with limited views, the ability to spout reckless rhetoric under the guise of “Free speech”. I don’t agree with all the policies laid out by President Obama and didn’t agree with some laid out by former President G.W. Bush, but never once would I utter the most unpatriotic words echoed by you around the world. I am quite sure that everyone who works for you doesn’t always agree with you, yet they still support you because if you fail, they all fail. Saying you hope Mr. Obama fails is saying you hope our great nation fails, never to rise again. Is your view so narrow that you can’t see past what you want? You are a drug addicted under-educated bigot stuck in an old world mentality. You disguise your fodder as “the view of conservative America” when it is nothing more than poison; because we all know that out of the heart, the mouth speaks. What are you really upset about, Rush? Is it that we have a President that really wants to try to get us to the place that our forefathers dreamed of when they wrote: We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America. In case you don’t realize, the term welfare means a state of well-being for all of us, not just the Limbaughs or the Bushs or even the Obamas. I was puzzled by your view of failure until I recalled a quote by your mother, “he flunked everything” and then it all made sense: failure is what you know. After all, you failed at marriage three times, failed at school and you even failed at being a commentator for a sport that you love. Try loving your country more than yourself; maybe then you can hope that it succeeds beyond measure.
January 23rd, 2009 at 4:20 pmF–k Limbaugh. The guy makes $33 million a year by spouting statements like this, for the sole purpose of reinforcing conservatives in their beliefs, and offending everyone else. He has no incentive to “play fair” or admit defeat; as long as there is an audience, he doesn’t care who he has to prey on for his ratings. I’ll bet, deep down, he doesn’t even care about conservative politics if it didn’t pay so well.
If you really want to take Limbaugh down, don’t listen to him. Encourage other people to ignore him and choose balanced news sources and get the facts. Don’t buy into his flamewars – they only serve to fatten his wallet and distract us from the progress we all want.
January 23rd, 2009 at 4:52 pmI love Rush. Atleast some people arent afraid to speak their minds and refuse to kiss Obama’s ass. Anyone who voted for him are just sheep being lead to the slaughter and the country will be better without out. God Bless America!
January 23rd, 2009 at 11:56 pmSometimes I listen to AM radio conservative political talk shows, simply because I’m bored (I drive a lot) and where I live I can’t find any moderate or liberal shows on the dial. Usually I just go back to listening to CD’s or music radio and I’ll tell you one (of the many) reasons why…
The sheer naked contempt in the voices of the hosts. Voices tell a TON about a person. When someone continually sounds frustrated, angry, stressed out, that is a sign you should take to the bank. Those people are anything BUT wise. Limbaugh, Bortz (don’t know if I spelled that right and I don’t care either) I don’t know all their names off the top of my head, but the TONE of their voices, the fear driven anger and hatred… WOW. I used to think, “Wow, how can conservatives not hear the sound in this guys voice and simply based on that KNOW that they are listening to someone who is out of control and not even possibly capable of wisdom, let alone truth?”
Then I came to a realization. The anger, the fear, the delusion, the outright hate… these things ARE the selling point! The reason why so-called “conservatives” listen to these guys is because they are just as angry and fearful as the hosts. They identify with that prejudice and fear and hate. They eat it up. It doesn’t matter what comes out of the mouths of these hosts, damaged goods that they are, and pseudo-intellectual on their BEST day… so long as they rage at the correct people and help these bitter scaredy cat fools of listeners feel like they are right and on the side of “right”.
And yes, I call them scaredy cats. Even though they count most of the war-hawks in their company, they don’t understand that standing up for what is right and peace takes 1,000 times the guts it takes to go to war. Fools.
January 24th, 2009 at 2:47 amRush is no dope~
It’s all strategy!
Remember, he just signed a huge contract for his show.
He couldn’t tolerat the limelight being focused on Obama – so he HAD to defocus Obama’s limelight.
By using the “hope he fails” strategy he hoped to outrage the Liberals he despises. It worked!
Being ignored is fatal for him – and it needs to start NOW!
I for one, wouldn’t waste any name-calling or time on him – because a man without a soul – is not a man.
As for Hannity [recent interview with Rush] he just may be Rush’s ingénue [put 50 lbs. on him and they could be twins]
January 24th, 2009 at 3:01 pmI saw quite a bit of that interview on Fox–call it a fascination with the morbid LOL–and although a part of Limbaugh’s POV could be put down to just a difference of opinion and philosophy with Obama and what he represents, a part of it was just plain falsehoods and hate. He’s a very disturbed man and it saddens me that he has the audience that he does. I’m divided as to whether POTUS was right in trying to stamp out this fire–and thus put the spotlight on this cigar-chomping fattie–or whether it would have been more powerful to just ignore Limbaugh…
January 25th, 2009 at 11:40 amI read articles on conservative websites sometimes, like many of you. The thing that strikes me most is the foul language and hate on the liberal side, but the rational arguments (for the most part) on the conservative side.
If liberals are going to be effective at all, it seems to me that we need to be civil and argue ideas, not just express hatred for this or that person because they are fat or ugly, or sound stupid.
If we have good ideas, let’s just express them. If conservatives have bad ideas, let’s say why.
Thank you.
January 29th, 2009 at 10:49 amThe world will be better off when this rude, loud, hateful, self-righteous, cigar smoking, prescription-pill-addicted political opportunist pig quits wasting oxygen.

Wow. What an interesting blog. And… since everyone is throwing names about, what a bunch of losers you all are. I did not read everyone’s response, but to all of you Rush Limbaugh haters: Are you all really so blind and stupid? First of all, I heard that particular program where his famous quote was taken from and has ben spewed all over by the left-winged media. It was not printed in full. The over-all sentiment is that if Obama’s plan was to have the government in more control and to dip into our pockets more and have full control over the banks… he hoped it fails – and you know what? SO DO I!!!!
February 1st, 2009 at 9:09 pmAll you people out there apparantly are going to sit back and be completely happy with socialism. Well, I am not and neither should you be, as many people have fought and died for the freedom that we now hold and are VERY quickly losing hold of. Maybe instead of wasting time throwing stones on the internet you should do some more research into what our new President has in store for us and on socialism and its benefits and how well it does not work.
By the way…. all of you who love Obama so much… isn’t it suppose to be “PRESIDENT OBAMA”?
I would love to see some intelligent liberal reasons as to why obama is such a great guy. All we see now are plans, nothing more, and I think Rush L has the right to say whatever he wants to. He represents the views of many people, and I think everyone knows that his comments are not truly racial otherwise he would be censored for that reason. Alpine1 is right, do your research and see what socialism is. Obama waved a bunch of pretty ideas in your faces and so he was voted into office, when in all reality his political career is wishy washy and self-centered. I have a right to say that, and to say that I don’t like him nor do I have faith in his plans. I think the American people shouldn’t have voted, as in NO ONE at all, to force the political world to come up with better candidates. He is the president, yes, and he will receive the respect deserved to someone holding that office. However, that’s it, nothing more. I will not trust him with my safety, money, children, home, etc. I don’t want the government deciding what happens with my money or property, and that is what obama is representing and trying to do. Rush L is bringing up issues that the democrats do not want us to hear, therefore obama is trying to silence him. Let me ask you this: if obama/the government silence Rush, what’s gonna happen to the rest of us and our freedom of speech? Regardless of how much we may or may not like what someone says, that doesn’t change the fact that they have a RIGHT to say what they want to. Who are the liberals to say what we can or can’t listen to just because they don’t like it? Who is obama to censor what can or can’t be said? This is an attempt to infringe upon our freedoms and rights, and if this attempt is successful EVERYONE will suffer. If the government doesn’t like what someone has to say then they’ll just shut them up. Hmmm….reminds me of Hitler. We need to focus on the fact that this is an attempt to violate the freedom of speech of the American people. But that won’t happen. Why? Because we are a nation divided.

February 5th, 2009 at 11:04 amRush Limbaugh is nothing but a scat muncher, and everytime he opens his obscene mouth a huge turd drops out …a vile excuse for a human being!
February 5th, 2009 at 4:55 pmThinks its going to be SOOOO FUNNY when Obama SHITS on all the ppl that voted for him!! I cant wait to say I told you soo biotches!! RUSH LIMBAUGH IS THE MAN!!! I love that fact that he can piss off some many liberals just by telling the ppl of the US the truth that the liberals dont want the ppl to hear!! HAH HAH !!
February 6th, 2009 at 9:12 amCongratulations Rush!
This was the most unpatriotic statement that I have ever heard in the 21st Century…by anyone. A president that fails, will have dire effects for our country and the world for generations. The clearest example is the presidency of George W. Bush. He failed at every level imaginable, including but not limited to: National Security; Foriegn Policy; Domestic Policy; Fiscal Policy, As Commander in Chief for our military; and just about every decision and directive which came forth during his administration.

February 25th, 2009 at 5:09 pmlet me see i am pretty sure liberals wanted the war in iraq to fail so what is wrong with Rush saying he wants obama to fail? you people are supposedly so enlightened and rush is this horrible hate mongering lunatic while i see replies in here that some of you want him to die and shit like that? you people are ruining this country and when this recession turns into a depression because of all this ridiculous spending by the messiah who are we to blame than?? Rush is smarter than any liberal out there and i would love to see him debate anyone of them. he would absolutely kill obama in a debate. obama can’t live without his teleprompter anyways.
as rush said tonight in his first “international state of the union” This man obama is threating the constitution and the declaration of independence itself. he is giving himself and congress so much power the founding fathers would be rolling over in their graves right now.
the reason we have this problem in the first place is because of government intervention and spending!! we do not need more wasteless spending from government that will spend it needlessly on pork bills to fit their own agenda. this is not democracy. it is socialism. and socialism does not work!!
March 1st, 2009 at 5:51 amliberals never bring up the actual issues because they will get dominated in a debate. which is why no one will challene rush and why they want to censor him with the fairness doctrine. he is simply too good for all of them. sure he has problems but who doesn’t?? do you think the messiah obama doesn’t?? look at his racist pastor reverend wright who was his pastor for over twenty years. are you telling me he listened to him for that long and didn’t agree with anything that racist bigot said??? liberals do not use logic. the problem with this country is not conservatism. it is liberalism. end of story
March 1st, 2009 at 5:56 amand see these liberals wont say nothing to this because they have nothing!! absolutely nothing!! they can’t have a rational conversation. all they want to do is spew hate over someone who threatens them with his intellectual ability. i hate obama but i do not with he dies. come on people. if you wish rush limbaugh dies you are honestly sick. he is a human being. and he is probably smarter than you anyways. haha
March 1st, 2009 at 5:58 amcan anyone give me any examples of what things rush limbaugh says that are hateful or racist?? there is nothing.
March 1st, 2009 at 6:01 amWhat a collection of Liberal IDIOTS. Rush is Right on everything he said. If Liberalism (Communism Light) succeeds. We lose. Yes, even liberals themselves. They’re just too stupid to recognize it. When the government owns most everything, our standard of living will crumble, except for people like Nancy Pelosi, and Harry Ried, and the rest of the our Democrat Royalty. They will be just fine while the rest of us will be left to wonder how we will feed our families. If your bus driver wants to drive the bus off a cliff, I would imagine you would prefer he fails.
March 2nd, 2009 at 3:33 pmRight on pacdaddy. Rush doesn’t want SOCIALISM to succeed and Obama’s using the crisis to move the country into a directions that it has long resisted because of the inherent failures of socialism. We are giving up the essence of what the country was built on and has thrived on because of a bunch of hand-wringing liberal democrats and a mass of people who caught in the euphoria of the moment that we have finally elected a black president so lets give him everything he wants. No one, including Rush, wants the country to go down – if he did he wouldn’t be complaining about Obama’s agenda and policies – he would just let it be. Throwing money out the window to the masses is not going to regenerate the economy – that has NEVER worked. When government gets his hands off the free economy, and allows captitalist to work, then we come out of the recessions. Thomas Jefferson’s comments are as true today as it was then:
“A wise and frugal government, which shall leave men free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned – this is the sum of good government.”
March 4th, 2009 at 11:24 amI have to agree with what several of these people are saying. Even if you do not support Obama you have to support this country. What ever he does now depicts how the country is going to be. If he fails we fail. If he succeeds we succeed. The best thing to do is hope for the best because we are stuck with him for 4 years no matter what.
March 9th, 2009 at 11:29 amThank you pacdaddy. It’s just like a liberal to wish death upon someone without even knowing what the issues are. How awful of a person all of you are to wish such horrible things on people, your ignorance is here for everyone to see. Rush never said he wanted Obama to fail, but these victim playing liberals don’t even listen. He wants his policies to fail and all Americans should want this too. WE ARE NOT VICTIMS, WE ARE AMERICANS. When in history have we ever had a President say he was overwhelmed and too tired to deal with these issues. HELLO MR PRESIDENT, STOP PLAYING VICTIM AND DO YOUR JOB….MAN UP ALREADY. His policies are destroying the core of our country, our freedoms, and our rights as United States Citizens. Rush is fighting for my freedoms as well as yours,something none of you are doing, you should be proud to have such a great American defending you, and all of you should be ashamed of yourselves.
March 12th, 2009 at 9:39 amMy Rabbi on Rush
I asked my Brooklyn Rabbi for his honest opinion of Rush Limbaugh. As a Man of the Cloth, my Rabbi calmly responded with his customary Wise Words of Wisdom, in his Fair and Balanced way, saying:
“Rush Limbaugh is a “shtick dreck” whose opinions aren’t worth “bupkis”. Why this “ohngeshtopteh vantz” should have the head of the Republican Party kissing his “tukhess” is a question that’s above my pay grade. Rush is a “tseckrokhener, tzebisiner narishkeit”, and a “meeskeit”. Anyone with a “yiddishe kup” can see that Rush hasn’t got an ounce of “tzeikhel” in his “poopick”. Rush Limbaugh — “feh!! — pui, pui, pui, pui.”

CJP,
March 14th, 2009 at 1:17 amFirst of all it’s sad that you have to ask someone else’s opinion instead of researching and making your own decisions. And second, why didn’t you ask his opinion on Obama’s decision to cut medical treatment for our Military Veterans? Why didn’t you ask him why the stock market and leaders of other countries are asking us if we are crazy for trying to change the American way and adopt a Marxist society? Why didn’t you ask why your children and grandchildren have to pay for the $300 million dollars that was given to executives for new vehicles that was in the Stimulus. Why didn’t you ask why during his campaign, Obama promised 5 days of online review to the public of the Stimulus and didn’t follow through with that promise, or the promise that there would be no earmarks, and the recent radical spending included $9000 in earmarks. You liberals are just full of hatred for other Americans, that’s what it comes down to. Conservatives want everyone to be successful (Capitalism)and have freedom of speech. Liberals want a seperate set of rules only for themselves, assuring their success only and do not feel that others have the right to any freedoms. Screw thy neighbor American is what you stand for. The difference is crystal clear. There are more (conservatives) people in this world that want good for all people, then there are people haters like you.
Do any of you know why people from other countries come to America? It’s because in their country, their Government makes all of the decisions for them, they decide how much money a person can make, they decide who gets medical treatment and who gets left to die, they decide what you can and cannot say, they decide what you can and cannot do. They come to America to flee Government control and live the American Dream, To go to college, start a business (creating jobs), raise a family, vote because their opinion does matter, they make their own decisions, they have freedom of speech and won’t get executed for disagreeing, they make as much money as they want to work hard for. All of us live the American Dream everyday. It is incorrect for you to say that we un American because we want Obama’s policies to fail. These policies of his are leading to the ultimate goal of Government control. When Conservatives speak it’s to defend your freedoms as well as mine, and I wish and pray that all of you please do research to find out what Conservatism really is. We do not want a Government that makes our decisions for us and that’s exactly what is happening. That is the change that he refers to. Please do research, you don’t have any idea what is happening to America or how important it is for you to know what is going on. You can call me names and say mean things, as I defend your right to disagree (freedom of speech), so all I ask is that you research what is going on. Thank you.
March 14th, 2009 at 10:40 amDrop the robust and vigorous Limbaugh and his lunatic supporters off in Taleban Country. Good thing he does not have the organizational gift of a Hitler to raise an army and wipe out every anti-American, every communist, every socialist and every environmentalist.
To think that Bush, the staunch evangelical Republican, gave everone, especially the rich, a tax cut; hoodwinked the Americans into endless wars; offered token help to New Orleans; helped the innovative fat-cats in the Oil Fields and on Wall Street to stuff their packets with $Millions; gave the poor a luxury home with no down payment & zero interest; brought the world economy to the brink; went hat-in-hand to the Chinese Communists to cover his $Trillions debt to prop up America-the-Beautiful; and then blamed it all on the socialist Democrats. I bet Limbaugh, the all-American, could do Bush one better.
March 14th, 2009 at 1:44 pmBeen reading through all these posts and it is hard to believe the foul and hate filled comments posted by all of you “enlightened” liberals that actually have convinced yourselves that everyone is stupid except you and those who believe as you.
March 17th, 2009 at 5:54 pmIf there is anyone on this blog that would like to discuss the issues intelligently and civilly, I invite you to visit me at
Rush Limbaugh Rocks

Well, well, well – A conservative republican engaging in dissent against his president during a time of war – the shoe would be on the other foot if he were not throwing it at the president. What hypocracy!
March 17th, 2009 at 6:53 pmI know the people who own this site are clearly only showing stuff that befits the Left, but I thought I leave this comment anyway. After saying he wants Obama to fail Rush told his us what he meant. Since this site is obviously not telling the truth I will tell you what Rush said after he said he wanted Obama to fail. He (Rush) does not hope Obama fails he hopes his Policy Fail.
