Limbaugh: I Fear Obama’s Repeal Of Bush-Era Secrecy Rules ‘Make It Easier’ To Hold Bush To Account
Limbaugh: I Fear Obama’s Repeal Of Bush-Era Secrecy Rules ‘Make It Easier’ To Hold Bush To Account
Earlier today, President Obama issued his first set of executive orders. One of these orders instructs “federal agencies to handle requests for information from the public and press under the Freedom of Information Act [FOIA] with an eye toward disclosure, not refusal.” The order reportedly returns to “pre-Bush administration policies” regarding FOIA.
In response to the “new standard of openness,” conservative talker Rush Limbaugh said that he fears that the more open FOIA rules will make it easier for Bush to be held to account for any misdeeds he committed as president:
LIMBAUGH: What I’m afraid of is that what Obama did with this executive order is actually make it easier for the media to go get Bush documents. Because you know Pelosi and some of the guys over in congress are talking about war crimes trials and charges and so forth. [...]
What I’m afraid of is what Obama’s done here is made the gathering of the information for this kind of stuff– This is not American. This is not America. This is not what America does. We don’t– This is Banana Republic kind of stuff.
Watch it:
With any luck, Limbaugh’s fears of an open and accountable government will be realized. When he entered office in 2001, President Bush heralded a new era of secrecy, directing then-Attorney General Ashcroft to issue new rules that essentially neutered FOIA:
[The Bush administration's 2001 FOIA] directive encouraged federal agencies to reject requests for documents if there was any legal basis to do so, promising that the Justice Department would defend them in court. It was a stark reversal of the policy set eight years earlier, when the Clinton administration told agencies to make records available whenever they could, even if the law provided a reason not to, so long as there was no ”foreseeable harm” from the release.
As a result of that directive, the government’s FOIA compliance rate deteriorated. By 2006, 2 in 5 FOIA requests were left unprocessed, the number of exceptions cited to justify withholding information increased 83 percent, and the Justice Department’s grant rate fell 70 percent.
While a number of influential figures, including Obama, have expressed some reluctance to pursue independent investigations of Bush administration officials or programs, Obama’s FOIA order may at least provide journalists and other interested parties with the tools they need to, as Limbaugh put it, “go get Bush documents.”

January 21st, 2009 at 7:19 pmLimbaugh: I Fear Obama’s Repeal Of Bush-Era Secrecy Rules ‘Make It Easier’ To Hold Bush To Account»
– - Uh huh, tell me that Limbaugh and Cornyn haven’t aligned their stories and arent playing tag team politics.
January 21st, 2009 at 7:20 pmwhen will the advertising revenue stream dry up for this enormous can of wind?
January 21st, 2009 at 7:20 pmYES! Transparency, as promised.
January 21st, 2009 at 7:20 pmIt was so bad under the bush admin. that previously released, de-classified items, at the national archives were re-classified as secret and hidden away…
January 21st, 2009 at 7:21 pmtalk about paranoia…
LIMBAUGH:
This is not American. This is not America. This is not what America does. We don’t– This is Banana Republic kind of stuff.
Yeah, all those Banana Republics with their openness and their accountability and their punishment when somebody breaks the law. Who wants that, right???
Leave the country and go back to rogering Dominican boys, Limpballs.
January 21st, 2009 at 7:21 pmLimbaugh: “This is Banana Republic kind of stuff.”
Your Banana Republic collapsed yesterday at noon, Rush.
January 21st, 2009 at 7:21 pmHow can Limbaugh speak of anything American? His entire schtick is based on unaware and uninformed viewers and listeners. An uninformed citizenry is exactly what props up dictators and tyrants.
January 21st, 2009 at 7:22 pmHis freaking out about this makes me wonder is there isn’t something in those “Bush documents” that will reveal such items as coordinating messages and perhaps payment in support of “enhanced interrogation” (torture) and other Bush doctrine draconian policies. And in one respect, Rush is right. Many of the actions over the last 8 years HAVE been notoriously similar to “banana republics.”
January 21st, 2009 at 7:26 pmRush is right and he should be afraid of his friends Bush/Cheney being charged with War Crimes. Now the information will be availble for all even those overseas who have been tortured, raped and killed by the Bush Administration. Cheney will have to sell alot of his Halliburton shares in hopes of paying off Judges and vicimes. Daddy Bush will have more health problems when he learns his idiot son is going to be charged with the crimes he committed over the pass 8 years. Laura has moved on with her Texas Billionair boyfriend so she could really care less.
January 21st, 2009 at 7:28 pmUm, yeah, isn’t that the point??. Duh, Bush must be held to account. Amazing that Repubs fight against this — isn’t their favorite spew– “If you have nothing to hide, why do you care that you are being investigated”??
January 21st, 2009 at 7:28 pmI’ll bet you do “fear” it Mr Limbaugh.
And I’ll bet Mr Bush and Mr Cheney fear it more than you.
January 21st, 2009 at 7:28 pmA** Limbo’s head was exploding today. I loved it. Nice to see the neocons feeling some fear after all those a-holes put our country through for 8 years.
January 21st, 2009 at 7:29 pmPssst… Rush….. you know that little chocolate microphone from your birthday cake?
January 21st, 2009 at 7:29 pmIt was real!
Bet you’re sorry you swallowed it now, huh?
Jackie, Laura has a Texas Billionaire boyfriend? Do tell…
January 21st, 2009 at 7:30 pmRush’s health can’t last another 4 yrs …with all the drug abuse, obesity, age, etc…
January 21st, 2009 at 7:30 pmstroke / heart attack or diabetes will claim him soon..
Go enjoy your money while u can old man
i hate that slug.
hate. seriously hate.
hate all the harm and trouble and destruction he has caused also.
which is why i hate him so.
he needs to be gone.
January 21st, 2009 at 7:32 pmRush loves the idea of a Banana Republic, because whenever a Democrat is in charge he wants to lead a coup d’etat to put the bad old government that favored him and his ilk in for life.
The Constitution is a minor annoyance to thugs like Limbaugh, who want to answer to no one.
January 21st, 2009 at 7:33 pmAny time the rusher is pissed and/or scared, I feel sooo much better.
Seeing him as an irrelevant minority blow-hard for at least the next 4 years, brings tears of joy to my eyes.
January 21st, 2009 at 7:34 pmguess it’s all out war now… again…
limpball wasn’t invited to the dinner…
now he’ll show US.
January 21st, 2009 at 7:34 pmwhen will the advertising revenue stream dry up for this fat b****?
When we orgazine boycotts against his sponsors. Until then, our individual actions don’t matter.
The walmarts, home depots, applebees, staples, general electic, disney that the others that underwrite the repug/neocon agenda do not care if any of us does not spend money with their string of companies
We don’t matter unless we publicly proclaim:
(1). Why we don’t shop at those businesses
(2). Why others shouldn’t shop at those businesses
(3). That we have a unified voice on these boycotts and will withhold our purchases for however long it takes to see action
January 21st, 2009 at 7:35 pmLIMBAUGH:…what Obama did with this executive order is actually make it easier for the media to go get Bush documents.
It’s called ‘Open Government’ as in WE THE PEOPLE, you drugged up, Dominican Underage Boy Prostitute abuser.
This is not what America does. We don’t– This is Banana Republic kind of stuff.
Actually you drugged up, Dominican Underage Boy Prostitute abuser, this is what America has been all about until the WAR CRIMINAL Bush and gang turned us into a Banana Republic.
But I’m sure your ‘intelligent audience’ are believing every word you spew.
By the way, Bush is going to trial, there is too much pressure on now for it not to happen, suck on that fat boy.
January 21st, 2009 at 7:42 pmUMMMMM…..D’UHHHHH
January 21st, 2009 at 7:42 pmShhhh… Did you hear that? That’s the sound of Lard Ass Limpd@ck blowhard whining… That’s music to my ears…
America has spoken and you and your kind are not wanted or needed anymore… You are not the next America Idol!!! Please Exit Stage Left!!!
January 21st, 2009 at 7:44 pmThe greatest part of this post is in the first 3 words. To have a blowhard like Limbaugh admit he’s afraid? That’s ridicule fodder for the next year!
Limbaugh admits he’s a chickensh!t.
January 21st, 2009 at 7:45 pmThere are so many things I want to say in response to Mr. Limbaugh’s comments but unfortunately none of them are g-rated and I’m a lady. :-X
January 21st, 2009 at 7:45 pmAll tax dollars shouldn’t even need FOIA. There should be a quarterly budget made public listing each agency and its expenses delineating where the money was spent. Exceptions for top secret can be made; but, there should be some way in which those expenditures could be monitored, too, keeping the best interests of the country in mind.
January 21st, 2009 at 7:48 pmLushinterior, Welcome Aboard!
How did you like yesterday? Wasn’t it the best day of your life???
January 21st, 2009 at 7:49 pmNow 1 day in and we are seeing change. Change that I believe in. For all those people that posted here at TP doubting President ELECT Obama over his choice of people and his previous votes in the Senate, please mark this down as a plus.
January 21st, 2009 at 7:49 pmIf I gave a sh*t about what Limbaugh, Beck, and their ilk have to say, I’d listen to them.
January 21st, 2009 at 7:50 pmLooks like Rush hates our freedoms.
January 21st, 2009 at 7:50 pmA picture says a thousand words – everything you need to know about rush is HERE
January 21st, 2009 at 7:50 pmMemo to Rush:
That may be the idea you porcine fool.
January 21st, 2009 at 7:50 pmCan someone please tell Rush to STFU?
January 21st, 2009 at 7:51 pmWell, Rush, there’s a new Sheriff in town.
He is one who understands that when enforcing the law it does not matter on which side of the badge you stand. The law is meted out equally to all.
Now, the only ones who would worry about that are the ones who have been on the wrong side of the law (and they know it, too).
Why do you keep defending those who violate the law, and continue to suggest that they should get a free pass on whatever they’ve done? I thought you have long been the “lock-them-up-and-throw-away-the-key” type – at least since the 1990’s.

Oh, you mean Sandy Berger?
January 21st, 2009 at 7:53 pmSorry, my bad, here let me get you another one…
How to make Limbaugh irrelevant. How to make the crap he puts out drift away like the steam it is. He accomplishes nothing. He contributes nothing. He is all about destruction and obstruction. Marginalizing Rush’s B.S. would be very useful.
January 21st, 2009 at 7:55 pmHa Ha, just yesterday Limbaugh said “I Hope Obama Fails”. Looks like President Obama heard and said “Oh yeah, take this!” PRICELESS! :)
January 21st, 2009 at 7:55 pmI will divert atttention from the fat basturd, gasbag with this news item OT:

LushMoron
Still determined to show what a moron you are right? So besides this sick NEED to humiliate yourself you are a liar and a fool. Berger took COPIES. So we know EXACTLY what was in them you stupid brainwashed propganda parrot. IF you had the clearance YOU could go see them right now. My GOD you are an ignorant piece of garbage. Please stop. Your stupid hurts our eyes and it is getting so tired pitying you for your ignorance.

burro, I suppose you could find all the advertisers on his show, then but out a big one page ad in all the big news papers saying “These companies support Rush Limbaugh who says ‘I hope Obama fails’” That would be a good start.
January 21st, 2009 at 8:00 pmSo the OXYMORON thinks that being a civilized nation means covering UP the wrongdoing of the powerful. Why not it worked for him. If he was a poor black ghetto kid he would be in prison right now.
January 21st, 2009 at 8:00 pmBecause a sneaky, secret government is so much more “American” than an open, responsive one. Well… that, sadly, has actually been true for the last 8 years.
January 21st, 2009 at 8:01 pmP.S.
Even for Rush, this comment is beyond asinine.
January 21st, 2009 at 8:04 pmRush, oh Rush, I think you need to go to a country, like Burma, who will better appreciate you views on “open government”.
January 21st, 2009 at 8:04 pmAnything that pisses off pigs like Limbaugh brings a smile to my face.
January 21st, 2009 at 8:07 pmOh gawd – there goes Limpy bloviating again. So how long until the hoards of trolls come to his defense?

January 21st, 2009 at 8:26 pmAs usual the former addict and alcoholic is wrong. He does not know history. In a banana republic there is no Freedom of Information Act. There is no accountability. In a Democracy there is supposed to be. If Limbaugh had his way, there would be nothing known till it was too late.
I am sure he does fear that the last administration will be held accountable. This man is anti-American. He would like to see the very foundation of the Constitution thrown away. Has anyone heard any of these right wing idiots ever say anything about the shredding of the Constitution or our rights?
The destruction of the air waves by these monsters is protected by the very Constitution they ignore. The Freedom of Speech they embrace for themselves is the only one they care about. But just try and take them to task for their outrageous comments and they howl foul. I don’t talk of censoring them, just asking them to tell the truth for a change. This man has found a way to keep his name in the public arena. He does what they all do. He lies, and screams and bullies anyone who disagrees. They are all alike.

January 21st, 2009 at 8:29 pmActually, what’s with the reference to third would countries?
Third world counties coverup everything they do and they sure as hell don’t have a FOIA. I have never listened to Lush Limpbaugh and now I know why. His little rant there about “This is not what America does” – “Banana Republic kind of stuff’, shows, clearly, that he is unhinged.
It reminds me of Bush saying “Our enemies … … They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we.”
This guy has the intellect of a small white soap dish.
January 21st, 2009 at 8:30 pmThe underlings, who know what occurred – and what evidence there is to prove it – must be sweating little bloody bullets. The electronic files that will become accessable offer a huge journalistic bonanza for the media investigative team who, using FIOA requests, is able to apply pressure to former administration members, and their beltway connections.
I’ll bet Murray Waas is already writing requests for Iraq war-spending documents.
January 21st, 2009 at 8:32 pmI find it funny that 3rd world countries have open and honest governments. I always thought secrecy, torture, military tribunals are way more banana republic.
January 21st, 2009 at 8:34 pmLIMBAUGH: What I’m afraid of is that what Obama did with this executive order is actually make it easier for the media to go get Bush documents.

I won’t call Rush “un-American”, but I will call him “anti-Constitution”, that constitution being the Constitution of the United States of America.

January 21st, 2009 at 8:42 pmIf something happens to Obama can we hole Limbaugh accountable?
January 21st, 2009 at 8:49 pmWho, exactly, is pulling Limbaugh’s strings & telling him what to say?
January 21st, 2009 at 8:54 pmI have to wonder whether Limbaugh ever listens to himself. To actually speak out loud and say that transparency in government is unAmerican and “banana republic” is so completely ridiculous that a normal person might notice. Maybe it’s the oxy talking.
January 21st, 2009 at 8:56 pmWe can probably judge the next four years using the same rule of thumb that has worked really well for the last couple decades — if Rush Limbaugh is unhappy about something then we are probably on the right track.
January 21st, 2009 at 8:57 pm“What I’m afraid of is that what Obama did with this executive order is actually make it easier for the media to go get Bush documents.”
Don’t be afraid Rush. You’re a big boy.

January 21st, 2009 at 9:02 pmForgive me if someone already made this point but…
yo, Rush, if Bush did nothing wrong, then he’s got nothing to fear, right?
Isn’t that how it goes?
January 21st, 2009 at 9:13 pmRush, you are mistaken.
Effn, liar.
That’s NOT what FOIA is about. It’s not about protecting presidential documents. It’s not about journalists.
It’s about allowing the actions of the government to be seen.
Liar.
January 21st, 2009 at 9:15 pmInteresting observationt, gum, but I’m pretty sure the Rush knows that at this point he doesn’t have any normal people left as listeners. just the brain-dead dittobots.
January 21st, 2009 at 9:16 pm# 16
Close to the end of Bush’s first term a Texas newspaper reported Laura filed for an 18 month divorce as all are public information. Yes the media and reporters didn’t say a word but the people of Texas knew it. Later came the National Enquier who had photos and information from White House/Hotel that Laura had an arugement with GW and walked out. The White House so it was a personal matter. Funny during Laura’s stay at the hotel a rich Texas come to see her. She quickly had to travel but while on an island the same rich Texasn showed up and spent time with Laura. Laura was reportedly speaking to Queen Elizabeth about her failed marraige when Bush was heard saying the Queen should mine her own business.
Now I thought some reports could be a lie until no one told the paper not to print the pictures and information. Afther John Edwards we know a paper can get sued for false information. Remember Bush still has the Texas Ranch and surprise Laura has a new home. Laura said she was going to the new home right after leaving DC, while Bush announced he would be returning to the Ranch. Yes after bloggers started talking the White House said Laura misspoke. Time tells everything and really the bad preformance done by George/Laura was easy to see they were faking their marriage. It’s not as if Bush has ever told the truth in 8 years, lying comes naturel to the Bush Family.

Orwell predicted that the bastards would try to prove that 2 + 2 = 5. I think he misunderestimated them. The arguments that cons usually seem to make are typically of the form that the facts are precisely opposite to what the facts actually are. They don’t just lie, they go for the biggest lies possible. 2 + 2 = 5 is kid’s stuff for these guys.

I guess Lard Ass Blowhard Limpd@ck is lost without his Talking Points Memo…
January 21st, 2009 at 9:34 pmGood.
My first FOIA request (which I knew would be pointless during the corrupt Bush years) will be to ask the DOJ exactly how many terrorist mailings of powder in envelopes there have been since late 2001.
Someone at the DOJ/FBI must be keeping a running tally of how many have happened and to whom they were sent.
In December 2001, I saw a CNN news blurb scroll across the bottom of the television screen for about twenty to thirty minutes that stated that the FBI was conducting 15,000+ investigations into terrorist-related mailings.
Someone at the Bush DOJ/FBI must have “gotten to” CNN shortly after this appeared on-screen because it was yanked and never seen again.
This 15,000+ investigation figure was reported by CNN just a month or two after the initial lethal anthrax mailings, so except for one investigation the rest must have been copycat terrorist mailings involving non-lethal powder sprinkled into envelopes. I wondered at the time if this 15,000+ figure referred to individual investigations into multiple mailings by a person or persons unknown, or did this figure refer to the total number of envelopes mailed.
To put it simply, someone in the Bush administration, along with complicit lapdog corporate news media CEOs (print and broadcast), decided that what American citizens didn’t know about the magnitude of these terrorist mailings (and who was being targeted…primarily liberal organizations and individuals) was preferable to anyone finding out.
Someone at the DOJ/FBI, though, must have compiled the statistics covering these copycat terrorist mailings (which have invariably required a response by authorities even if non-lethal powder spilled out of an opened envelope).
Local news outlets have reported on these local incidents. One report several years ago was posted online after Al Gore’s office in Tennessee received one of these copycat terrorist mailings. One of the first responders was quoted saying that this terrorist incident was just one of 400 similar terrorist letter incidents that he had responded to in that area.
The national news media, following the lead of the corrupt Bush administration, decided to keep a lid on any disclosures about the high incidence of copycat terrorist mailings over the past seven years, so we haven’t seen a single report detailing how many have actually occurred nor who have been the recipients of over 98 percent of these terrorist mailings (i.e. liberal organizations and individuals).
I figure that the total number of terrorist envelopes mailed since late 2001 must by now be in the hundreds of thousands…and one can bet that with Democrats now in charge at the White House and in both houses of Congress that this figure will continue to rise, probably increasing exponentially.
So, I’d like to know from the DOJ/FBI exactly how many copycat terrorist mailings have occurred as well as what success they’ve had in tracking down some of the radical right-wingers responsible for sending terrorist letters to some of their fellow U.S. citizens.
Oh, BTW, I was corrected several months ago when I posted something similar by someone who informed me that right-wing generated terrorist letters have been sent for years to liberal organizations and individuals, dating back decades, but especially during the Clinton years. But it took the initial lethal anthrax terrorist mailings in late 2001 to really get the right-wing terrorist mailing motor running at full speed.
We The People have a right to know…especially with Limbaugh stating that liberals and liberalism are the real problem facing our nation even as many of his listeners sprinkle powder into envelopes and mail these terrorist letters to liberal organizations and individuals. So, Rush, who’s the real danger to our democracy?
January 21st, 2009 at 9:36 pmRush is just yapping shit written for him to yap. It is about marketing. Whatever happened to that cokehead with the stupid cowboy hat? Anyone that actually believes any of the shit radio shock jocks say is a moron… what is you sleep cycle number or whatever that nonsense is?
January 21st, 2009 at 9:43 pmTop secret to chimpy are meirs’ love missives to him.
January 21st, 2009 at 9:44 pmAs Bush did nothing wrong, why would he oppose folks gathering data on him ?
Wasn’t the idea of FOIA to let a little sunshine in govt ?
January 21st, 2009 at 9:49 pmHa! That guy in the picture is fat.
Also, he doesn’t understand that banana republics are paranoid and overly-secretive. Openness and honesty are hallmarks of a strong democracy.
January 21st, 2009 at 9:54 pmMay they spy on El Fatbo as a potential traitor and terrorist.
January 21st, 2009 at 9:55 pmOnce again Limbaugh proves he is an evil wingnut extremist, spewing out hate, fear and lies from the dirty wounds oozing in his brain. He is your typical bigoted, lunatic fringe big mouth who, among other freedoms , wants to take away our freedom of choice.

How to make Limbaugh irrelevant. How to make the crap he puts out drift away like the steam it is. He accomplishes nothing. He contributes nothing. He is all about destruction and obstruction. Marginalizing Rush’s B.S. would be very useful.
Most of us are.
January 21st, 2009 at 10:03 pmRush Limbaugh, bannana republic?
January 21st, 2009 at 10:05 pmGo and eat one you monkey.
Jackie, what on earth do you mean:…”Laura has moved on with her Texas Billionair boyfriend so she could really care less”.
I’m not here to read National Inquirer dribble so I don’t appreciate the comment. You offer opinionated libel.
January 21st, 2009 at 10:10 pmIf Rush Limbaugh was more widely read maybe he wouldn’t make such a fool of himself all of the time. For starters, he might simply start with the Preamble to the Constitution.
Now what is so hard to understand about those simple words, I ask? How is it that the transparency enabling FOIA could be seen as anything but make for forming “a more perfect Union”. Read those beautiful words Rush then apologize for being such an ignoramus.
January 21st, 2009 at 10:15 pmHey Blowhard Limbaugh, can’t you just shut the hell up for 2 minutes, your audience consists of bubble heads and knee jerk reactionaries. You want President Obama to fail huh? That is the most unpatriotic, anti-American drivel that I’ve heard for sometime. This may surprise the drug addict/compulsive liar, though skeptical, I wanted Bush junior to succeed. It didn’t happen, he ended up failing miserably, but anyone who loves their country wants to have a president who is successful.
January 21st, 2009 at 10:23 pmIf the President fails, don’t we all? Haven’t we learned THAT in the past eight years that a bad President affects us all? Bush was the absolute worst Pres in our modern history. But Limpballs supported him relentlessly. IT SHOWS YOU REPUGS CARE MORE ABOUT PARTY THAN AMERICANS. AND THAT’S THE TRUTH!
January 21st, 2009 at 10:29 pmYeah, yeah– whatever, Mush.

January 21st, 2009 at 11:13 pmIf this is a banana republic he’s going to hang for treason. He probably could be found guilty even under the constitution. For 8 years he’s been spreading lies and propaganda to the idiots who listen to him. $40 million a year? Did his bosses get funds and were they told to give it to Rush. And why did Rush have his private birthday lunch last week. Was he handed an envelope and told to make sure he spread lies about how investigations were wrong. Inquiring minds want to know.

Is it possible that, at long last, their ratings are falling and sponsors are drying up? I can’t think of anything else that would scare them so.
But what I love most is, they can’t change. They’ll just keep upping the bile factor until they are relegated to the fringe, selling CD’s in the ally behind the comedy club. Though Lush Rimjob will probably go straight to performing sex acts for his next buzz.

I wholeheartedly agree – even though I must admit that knowing that GWB had failed at everything he had ever tried, I knew he would fail yet I could never have anticipated how badly he failed nor did I wish for his failure. I think GWB wants to fail; perhaps he thinks that makes him some kind of rebel against his father. He misplaced his anger – and We the People suffered. He will never get it.

January 21st, 2009 at 11:33 pmRush….responsibility without accountability is not responsibility but only being in charge but having no consequences for one’s actions. Thus, there is no responsibility if one is not responsible for what happens which occurs by being held accountable.
January 21st, 2009 at 11:36 pmEl Lushbo is getting a little nervous, I think. He’s a longtime Republican water-carrier who must have bought the Rovian vision of permanent Republican majorities (coincidentally, that’s lasted as long as Kristol’s Project for a New American Century). I’m betting there’s some seriously incriminating communications between the Bush White House and the RW Noise machine that’s been pumping the propaganda in concert for decades.
I think the narcotics junkie conveyed a moment of honesty to his audience – there are going to be a lot of implicating communications that gets exposed. Labeling FOIA as the acts of a Banana Republic was a botched analogy. It was apt projection that reflects this administration’s contempt for our Democracy.
January 21st, 2009 at 11:39 pmWhenever this a-hole pretends to be a patriot, rest assured it is safe to ignore/laugh at him.
Prosecuting Bush is vital to our success as a decent nation that doesn’t torture or attack countries for fun with bogus excuses. The deaths of over one million people including the poor men fighting the rich man’s war that did the killing, scream for justice.

What i can’t understand is why — he’s got the table set up for him to romp for another eight years, just like he did when he had Clinton to take potshots at.
make no mistake, the last eight years have been tough for Rush and his ilk. Being in charge doesn’t suit their game. They have to play defense all the time, and Rush is as offensive as they come (pun intended).
He should be salivating at the prospect of a Democratic president with a Democratic Congress. Especially a president whose middle name is “Hussein” (I still get a huge kick out of that.) They should be sitting back, downing mai tais and waiting for the farm-raised, wing-clipped quail to rise up five feet off the meadow so they can blow them away with their little spray of bird shot.
Yet he and Beck and the rest of them seem a might squirrelly these days. Why is that?

Wayne A. Schneider ,
What did I say wrong? Most people here agree with me. Israel is a criminal state and must be abolished.
January 21st, 2009 at 11:34 pm
No, you are wrong. Most people here want to see those in the government of Israel held accountable for the needless death and destruction they have been imposing on innocent Gazan women and children in the final days of the Bush Administration. I think I can safely say that most of us do not (seriously) want to use violence to resolve disputes. There are peaceful ways to resolve differences, if you are willing to look for them. I, and many others, believe that some of the main actors in the conflicts of the Middle East do not want to see it this way. They wish to use violence to make their points. And many of us feel that this is wrong. And it is wrong of you to do the same.
For the record, I do not approve of calls for violence against Bush and Cheney and all the other law-breakers of the past eight years. I do support bringing them to justice for their crimes. I believe that long prison sentences are a great disincentive to break the law, especially when holding an office of public trust. It helps us make sure we can trust you. And as soon as we start locking up the people responsible for bringing widespread death and destruction to the world, be they in Washington, DC, or Tel Aviv, Israel, the sooner our world can become a more peaceful place to live.
Do you understand now?

Rush and Hannity are under contract, paying them a combined $250MM. How much geritol and viagara are these guys selling to justify those kind of payments? It’s not the product advertising that they are being rewarded for, it’s the ability to deliver 20MM rube votes to the RNC and against their best interests. But where’s the money coming from? RNC can’t hardly raise enough to cover their election costs. I’m thinking it’s from the same source that has the largest position in NewsCorp – Kingdom Holdings. I wonder how much of that Saudi investment influences Fox News and the rest of the RW propaganda catapaulters views on the Middle East, oil energy, etc?
Perhaps we’ll find connections between the RNC – RW Media – Big Oil in those FOIA requests. Maybe that wouldn’t be good news for Rush.

You are pretty far moved from reality. They are improving psychotic drugs all the time. Go see a doctor if you are one of the few people who can afford one.
Under Democrats, welfare rolls decrease. Unemployment decreases. We had record surpluses. Clinton created 22 million new jobs (Bush less than 3). Under Carter we had trade surpluses. Under Carter we had the world’s best standard of living. By the end of Reagan/GHWB, we were 16th. Reagan/GHWB took the debt from $0.9 Trillion to $4.1. Dubya took the debt from $5 Trillion to $11 Trillion. The current budget (courtesy of Dubya) will be $1.2 Trillion deficit.
Reagan/Bush/Bush rewarded corporations for sending jobs overseas. Two-thirds of corporations pay no taxes.
No other developed country in the world has one single citizen without FULL healthcare.

These people (changeychange, et al) are being manuipulated by the right wing into believing some things that simply aren’t true. Much of that involves myths about Reagan who, I have to keep reminding them, is dead. The right wing taps into their emotions, and their reasoning centers shut down. That’s how we end up with eight years of Bush. No reasoning.
January 22nd, 2009 at 2:08 amDESTROYED George Bush, who ensured that no attacks on US soil occured since 9/11, keeping you safe.
WTC disasters happened on chimpy’s watch, so did the anthrax, blackouts, financial collapse, self-made invasions, torture, over 4000 of our finest dead, thousand more injured, brain trauma, 1 million plus Iraqis dead, media blackouts, illegal domestic wiretapping, countless orphans on both sides, orphans from Katrina/Rita, lead based imports, selling of our ports, and so on.
Why can’t you/and repugs in general, understand what’s going on?

I would pity people who thought like this, if I knew for certain they were thinking. But they are not. They are clearly ignoring the evidence that refutes the idea that Bush has kept us “safe”. Didn’t they just annouce that more suspicious letters with white powder were mailed out? How do the people who realize they handled that mail feel about saying they are “safer”?

I’m no Marxist, but I’m no Capitalist Pig, either. And to be honest, I have no idea who Alinsky is. The name means nothing to me.
And you need to either check a dictionary, or check your hearing and vision, because you seem to have things skewed either because you don’t understand words or you are deaf and blind.
Sarah Palin destroyed herself by opening her mouth and speaking. And, it seems, she continues to do so. If she wants to have any chance of getting the 2012 nomination, her best course would be to go back to Juneau, run Alaska for a while, learn some things about the US and the rest of the world, and STFU for a couple of years. If she can emerge as an intelligent-sounding woman, she might rehabilitate herself.
Samuel J. Wurzelbacher destroyed himself from the moment he stepped in front of the media and lied about who he was and why it was so important to question Candidate Obama about the rumors he heard about the tax plan. That exchange lasted several minutes, but I bet you heard only one thing – “spread the wealth”, and now your panties are in a twist. Since then, he has pretty much made a fool of himself every time he opened his mouth in front of reporters. I do not understand why you consider reporting what somebodty says as destroying them.
And George W. Bush destroyed himself the moment he decided to abandon his oath of office, and use illegal and unconstitutional methods to carry out his agenda, which was not the one he ran on, and which was never approved by the country. Bush alone came up with the pre-emptive, first-strike policy known as the “Bush Doctrine”. (You know, it might have helped Sarah Palin to be aware of that, bt she clearly wasn’t.) Had he run on a platform calling for that, he never would have gotten elected. And don’t try to say that the threat from terrorists wasn’t as severe when he was running for president, because you guys have been saying that Clinton was the one who failed to stop 9/11. (That’s an absolute lie, BTW.) You can’t have it both ways. If the threat wasn’t severe enough for Bush to campaign on what would become his Bush Doctrine, then how can you blame Clinton for how far terrorism went eight months into Bush’s first term? And if the threat was that severe, then why didn’t Bush say it was what he wanted to do? And why would he have not wanted to do that if he knew while campaigning that the threat was severe enough? You guys are trying to have it both ways on defending Bush and his “I kept us safe since Sept 12, 2001″ strategy. Make that “I unconstitutionally kept us safe” and we might believe it.
Perhaps, instead of the word “DESTROYED”, you meant the word “EXPOSED”.
January 22nd, 2009 at 3:30 amChangychange is a neo-con in the larval stage. Note the Republicans victimized—nay destroyed— by Democrats, the hysteria over the coming dystopia brought to us by thought crimes, and the recycled Soviet era imagery.
OHMYGAWD!!! THE IRON CURTAIN!!!??? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
January 22nd, 2009 at 3:51 amLushInterior,
Are you suggestng that this dispute should be resolved with violence?
January 22nd, 2009 at 4:06 amLushInterior,
Are you suggesting that those other than the liberals have already won? Only the killing remains? Very dark tone you have there.
January 22nd, 2009 at 4:09 amHey Rush, as was said so many times to excuse Bush’s spying on citizens:
“If you’ve done nothing wrong, you’ve got nothing to worry about”
January 22nd, 2009 at 4:49 amRush is right…..about twice a day.
January 22nd, 2009 at 5:28 amonce again, rush baggyballs has it ass-backwars. Now, tubbalard, torture is banana republic stuff not the freedom of information act.

January 22nd, 2009 at 6:31 amHow wonderfully transparent the leaders and gas bags of the Christian right become once they lose “Fearless Leader”
What fun to see them skid marking their underwear at the thought of real government accountability.
This fear is real and confirms beyond all doubt that they knew full well that Bush and Company are treasonous war criminals. And the ones that supported him?
Their fear confirms the gang mentality of jack-booted thugs who only feel better about themselves when they make others suffer needlessly.
Better stock up on OxyContin Rush. Pain? You and Bush have never known true pain – the pain of a Judge’s gavel.
January 22nd, 2009 at 7:49 amTruth never hurt anyone except the guilty.
January 22nd, 2009 at 8:09 amThought I’d post this, and get a jump on the trolls. This multiple-target attack will be used for troll fodder, proving Bush kept us safe, while Obama was attacked his first week in office. I’m betting it’s right-wing freaks, anxious to inflict some damage to the Obama administration, without endangering themselves:
The Wall Street Journal evacuated its newsroom Wednesday after the delivery of about 13 envelopes containing an unidentified powder, a spokeswoman said.
Police and a hazardous materials team from the fire department were investigating at the business daily’s New York headquarters, spokeswoman Ashley Huston told AFP.
“There were approximately 13 white envelopes with suspicious powder delivered to the general office today. They were addressed to several general executives. Some of the envelopes reached the offices of the recipient and some did not,” Huston said.
Two floors housing the newsroom, the editorial offices, and executive offices were evacuated, Huston said.
Journalists “are all meeting right now to figure out about working from home,” she said.
Huston said that a couple of the envelopes were opened before the alarm was raised. They were all postmarked from the southern state of Tennessee.
In 2001 letters containing anthrax killed five people in the United States and spread panic.
Since then, police and fire officers have been called out on thousands of occasions to investigate suspicious mailings — most of them harmless.
January 22nd, 2009 at 8:18 amGood point Innocentbystander at #146:
“But where’s the money coming from? RNC can’t hardly raise enough to cover their election costs. I’m thinking it’s from the same source that has the largest position in NewsCorp – Kingdom Holdings. I wonder how much of that Saudi investment influences Fox News and the rest of the RW propaganda catapaulters views on the Middle East, oil energy, etc?
Perhaps we’ll find connections between the RNC – RW Media – Big Oil in those FOIA requests. Maybe that wouldn’t be good news for Rush.”
But Kingdom Holdings had a massive hit over the last quarter of ‘08. Maybe they are looking to gettison the useless FAT parasites that are now worthless…like rushbag.
http://www.meed.com/news/2009/01/kingdom_holdings_reveals_83bn_loss.html
“Kingdom Holding, Prince Alwaleed bin Talal’s investment company, has reported a loss of SR31bn ($8.3bn) in the fourth quarter of 2008 as a result of the downturn in local and international equity markets.”
Oh the poort Saudis…Yeah right, maybe they should ask one of the 19 who flew the planes. HAHAHAHAHA!
January 22nd, 2009 at 8:28 amBarfly,
“The envelopes all bore a Knoxville TN, postmark which was similar to the one sent to Alan Dershowitz who wrote an Pro-Israel editorial in the WSJ this weekend.”
I heard this on local NYC radio yesterday. Bloomberg 1130 or CBS 880.
January 22nd, 2009 at 8:32 amHmmm.

A White Powder Pundit, who uses the post office as a weapon.
January 22nd, 2009 at 8:43 amYo, Changey. How many attacks on American soil have there been since 9/10?? And what did your president do on August 5 2001 when he received a Presidential Daily Briefing titled “Bin Laden Determined to Attack Inside United States”? What did he do Changey? Did he take action to keep America safe from an attack? No. He went fishing.
Chimpy will have lots of time to think about fishing when he’s sitting in prison for his multiple crimes.
January 22nd, 2009 at 8:43 amWell no, not all of us. Given the disastrous state of affairs at present, if President Obama fails, the trailer park white trash who make up the base of Rush Limbaugh’s audience will starve. However, Rush has a couple $100 million squirreled away in a Cayman Island bank account, so he’ll be just fine.
January 22nd, 2009 at 9:00 amCurlew,
Make sure you also hold the trolls accountable for the 5 terrorist attacks allowed by BUSH.
Since SIlverstein won the case against the insurance comapany by claiming that the two planes constituted TWO seperate terrorist attacks, then we have to add to that total, the one in Pennsylvania, and the one in Washington, DC at the Penta-lawn, sorry Pentagon. So, on one day, the failure who claimed to be the preznit of these United States saw to it to make sure that ALL of our defenses were on 5 different training missions, and ALL of the planes that could defend the WHOLE f Ucking country were out of the country, and that THE PENTAGON the most highly defended piece of earth on the planet can be attacked by 5 guys with box cutters, is beyond any aspect of rational thought.
SO now add these up and add in the Anthrax attacks by a government employee using government supplied anthrax, and we have a grand total of
5 TERRORIST ATTACKS BUSH IS RESPONSIBLE FOR
Plus of course the raping of Lady Liberty, and shredding of the Constitution
January 22nd, 2009 at 9:04 amYour English isn’t very good there changey. You sound like a Russian.
January 22nd, 2009 at 9:06 amo…..k…… why am I in moderation? I did not A s su me anything. this is going to bother me…. what word is it?……
January 22nd, 2009 at 9:13 amOne day, not too far in the future, I can imagine the Rush lemmings waking up, getting their Capt. Crunch cereal bowl filled, and turning in to Rush to get their daily talking points. However, instead of Rush, there’s are strange message being broadcast on endless loop:
“Please stand by. The EIB network is currently off the air as we move our operation to Paraguay. We will soon be resuming our pre-recorded broadcasting from this new location. Stay tuned for further updates.”
January 22nd, 2009 at 9:41 amOink.
January 22nd, 2009 at 9:45 amLushInterior @ 169 tells us:
I’m sure they did laugh at you. Those coins aren’t legal tender. You can’t use them to bulk purchase Cheetos and Mountain Dew.
If you had asked us about this before you went shopping, we could have spared you the public humiliation.
January 22nd, 2009 at 9:48 amLimbaugh is a pimple on the ass of America–ugly and irritating, but otherwise not relevant.
January 22nd, 2009 at 9:56 amLimbaugh: I Fear Obama’s Repeal Of Bush-Era Secrecy Rules ‘Make It Easier’ To Hold Bush To Account
Yeah, that’d be TERRIBLE, wouldn’t it…?!?
Jebus. Moron of the Century much??
January 22nd, 2009 at 11:06 amI don’t think, actually, that Rush has any true principles to which he subscribes that don’t result in gaining attention and money for himself, so it’s hard to take anything he says seriously. Like Ann Coulter, if she were fat and ugly, if you will.
January 22nd, 2009 at 12:04 pmHey if they did noting wrong they have nothing to worry about right? Is’nt that the mime we have been fed for 8 years about domestic wire tapping?
January 22nd, 2009 at 12:12 pmThere is a 5-year statute of limitations on most federal crimes. How long has it been since Rush was caught smuggling Viagara into the country?
January 22nd, 2009 at 12:28 pmHey Rush, 2 things.
January 22nd, 2009 at 2:14 pm1. If you have nothing to hide why hide it?
2. Double check you atlas, this is America NOT communist China!!
good lord, all you fair minded, peace and love lefties scare me to death! When all the boys leave gitmo, I’m sure they’ll forgive and forget……No, they’ll be the ones in the passenger seats with their shades on smiling out the windows of the next big ass airliner that smacks into another tall building because we had to use the’official army field manual’ for treatment of prisoners…..sheesh! That’s ok though I’ll be one of the ones saying I told you so. With this guy in charge, the screw ups are only a matter of time…oh, wait, they’re already happening.
January 23rd, 2009 at 12:20 ambwhahahahaha!
I love it when he says “This is not what America does. We don’t– This is Banana Republic kind of stuff.” We don’t… and then he realizes that he is about to say that America does not stand for transparency and honesty.
January 23rd, 2009 at 8:46 amInstead of him seeing this policy as an opportunity to have a window into the dealings of the Obama administration, which you think he would relish, he is petrified of what will be uncovered about the last administration.
Choirboy fears. I think it would be wrong for me to surmise that someone who calls himself Choirboy is a Christian who apparently doesn’t mind a little torture of people who may or may not be dangerous so he can catch his flight in peace.
Good stuff.
