Limbaugh misquotes Constitution while arguing Obama policies are ‘bastardization’ of Constitution.
Limbaugh misquotes Constitution while arguing Obama policies are ‘bastardization’ of Constitution.
During his speech to the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) on Saturday, Rush Limbaugh got some of his loudest applause when he declared that President Obama’s policies represent a “bastardization of the Constitution.” He attempted to prove his devotion to the document by quoting from it:
We love and revere our founding documents, the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence. [Applause] We believe that the preamble to the Constitution contains an inarguable truth that we are all endowed by our creator with certain inalienable rights, among them life. [Applause] Liberty, Freedom. [Applause] And the pursuit of happiness. [Applause] Those of you watching at home may wonder why this is being applauded. We conservatives think all three are under assault. [Applause]
However, it’s is the Declaration of Independence — and not the Constitution — that affirms the equality of all men and man’s inalienable right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness; the Preamble to the Constitution focuses on establishing “a more perfect Union.” Ironically, after revealing his ignorance of America’s founding documents, Limbaugh told his conservative competition that “the Constitution doesn’t need to be redefined. Conservative intellectuals, the Declaration of Independence does not need to be redefined and neither does conservatism.”

March 2nd, 2009 at 12:47 pmUnlike you, Mr. Limbaugh, I (and several other posters in this community) have taken an oath to support and defend the very Constitution you so cavalierly and badly misquoted, and I take offense at your comments. You owe our troops in combat, as well as all others who have served, an apology for your ignorant comments.
In addition, maybe you should spend one of your overpaid hours on radio reading the Constitution to your audience. Don’t interpret it for them, just read it. You’d be surprised at what you’ll find in it.

No wonder the World Leaders were waiting for Obama to take office.

March 2nd, 2009 at 12:55 pmThe Preamble
“We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, 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.”
simply and clearly provides the “why” for the Constitution’s “what,” “how,” “when,” and “where.”
OK, what manner of rational laws, policies, and regulations, then, “promote the general Welfare,” say, with respect to the economy? As I wrote elsewhere:
March 2nd, 2009 at 12:56 pm
Rush Limbaugh shows the same disregard for the constitution as many so-called conservatives. They pay lip service to it when it suits them, wrapping themselves in the flag and trappings of patriotism. And then their policies blatantly disregard not just the constitution, but the tenets of basic human decency.

Where to start…
Besides not being in the preamble of the Constitution, even the Declaration of Independence doesn’t say anything, in the portion that Limpballs excerpted, about “Freedom”. That’s because the Founding Fathers knew that there’s a big difference between “liberty” (which requires adherence to a certain set of rules important to a civil society — rules that are set in place by democratic debate and decision-making by the members of that society) and “freedom” (which is generally accepted to mean the ability to do what one wants, unbounded by adherence to any set of rules of governance — which in a civil society is generally known as anarchy).
So the Rushpublicans at CPAC were not only applauding for this dolt’s complete misidentification of our founding documents — they were also applauding for his support of anarchy as a founding principle of this country. Why do Rushpublicans hate the United States of America?

March 2nd, 2009 at 12:56 pmIf people are under the impression that Rush is the new leader of the Republican Party, it’s probably because actual Republican Members of Congress have treated him that way. Otherwise, why would Rep Phil Gingrey apologize for what he said about Rush? If Rush wasn’t important, actual Republicans in Congress could feel free to say what they want about him. It’s a free country, isn’t it? Maybe not for conservatives.
March 2nd, 2009 at 12:57 pmNothing in the whole wide world would make me happier than to read that a gang of Dominican boy-toys had staked Rush out on a Caribbean beach, where –after he drowned– the crabs picked his carcass clean.
March 2nd, 2009 at 12:57 pmSo the leader of the uninformed dimwits doesn’t even know what is in the document he is quoting from? Yeah, that sounds just about right. And, I bet nobody in the audience even noticed the error. They are such patriots….NOT!
March 2nd, 2009 at 12:58 pmSay what you will, Limpballs has a strong appeal in the demographic that also ironically describes himself . . . angry, fat, old white men who don’t get any sex.
We’d all be obnoxious, bombastic and dislikeable, too, if we were anything like Limpballs.

Just when you thought the repugs couldn’t get much worse they figure out a way!
Sigh.
And now this latest talking point – Obama is bastardizing the Constitution.
They “love and revere” our founding documents. But, according to their god Rush, our President, that non-jacket-wearing-in-the-oval-office, playing-basketball, socialist-in-a-centrist’s clothing President, is “bastardizing” them.
The bottom of their particularly stinking barrel of nasty techniques has yet to be seen.
March 2nd, 2009 at 1:05 pmIf I’m not mistaken, hasn’t the cry of the American Taliban over the last few months been that their congress critters didn’t read the stimulus bill? And now we’re learning that Rush Limbaugh has never read the Constitution and has no idea what he’s talking about or what’s in this incredible document?
Oh wait.
This is most likely the reason why Limbaugh continues to be the leader of the republican party/American Taliban. He’s stupid and makes his followers feel smart. I get it now!
It’s the blind & ignorant leading the blind & ignorant…
March 2nd, 2009 at 1:05 pmRush is a member of the white bourgeoise.
His father is/was a prominent lawyer in southeast Missouri. He comes from advantages and privilege. Being a phucking loser,he was never able to completely exploit his background, until he found this niche: pandering to other losers.
I mean: Imagine you’ve been raised thinking you’re superior to black or brown folks, but without racist preferences you not only can’t get a job, but others who you regard as your inferiors were getting ‘your’ jobs?

March 2nd, 2009 at 1:10 pmHe’s just uninformed. The Declaration of Independence and the Constitution are totally different documents, written at different times. I don’t think he has read either one.
March 2nd, 2009 at 1:10 pmI have a good friend who should have died in an accident years ago, but he lived. There was hardly a bone in his body was not broken from the accident, 1/3 of his skull is steel.
Anyways, he became severely addicted to pain medication. You name it, he had it in his body. He is now clean after years of fighting. He is apolitical, does not give a rat’s *ss about politics.
And he saw Limbaugh on CNN Saturday while visiting. The first words out of his mouth were “That guy is crankin’ on somethin’. Reminds me of myself back when I was strung out”. He did not know of Limbaugh’s prior drug addiction, but was 100% convinced he was loaded when spewing his lunacy at CPAC.
March 2nd, 2009 at 1:11 pm“Stop throwing the Constitution in my face,” Bush screamed back. “It’s just a godda*ned piece of paper!”

March 2nd, 2009 at 1:13 pmWhy do I get the feeling the last thing Limbo read was Elle Magazine?
March 2nd, 2009 at 1:16 pmAs the top poster stated, Limbaugh contradicts himself regularly and his listeners either don’t care or are too daft to realize. I accidentally listen to Limbaugh for about 15 minutes a week (he’s unavoidable in my radio market if you listen to the local radio news), and even in that short amount of time, I hear him contradict himself from day to day. I’m sure that Limbaugh will claim that his was a mere slip of the tongue. In the end it doesn’t matter. He could have stood up there and quoted from Mein Kampf and those fools would still have cheered for him.

Assuming you do not favor a might-makes-right / oligarchic / gated community / tribal warlord social structure, you have a choice:
1. proactive, coherent, commonsensical law and regulation, or;
2. reactive (and mostly problematic) post-hoc attempts to secure remediative justice via a court system.
March 2nd, 2009 at 12:56 pm
____________
Very interesting post, but I must disagree with your basic premise. It’s not an either/or choice at all. Proactive regulation cannot function without reactive enforcement, and reactive remediation is useless without a proactive legal framework to provide the jurisdictional basis for a lawsuit.
The liberal/conservative rift isn’t a leaning towards 1 versus 2, it’s all-of-the-above versus none-of-the-above. Remenber – the conservatives who rail against regulation and government intervention (except, of course, when it’s their bank being bailed out) are just as opposed to trial lawyers and “frivolous” lawsuits (except, of course, when it’s their company filing the suit).

March 2nd, 2009 at 1:24 pmthere are simply no words to describe what a blabbering IDIOT this guy is, not to speak of how IGNORANT he is…
and the most pathetic thing of all is how so many Republicans are falling for this rabble-rouser’s antics and incoherent ramblings.. unbelievable… to me that says A LOT OF DISTURBING THINGS about the present state of the GOP… as long as Repugs give this tub ‘a lard the time of day they can kiss winning elections any time soon GOOD-BYE…
March 2nd, 2009 at 1:26 pmLokidog @ # 53 —- A few years ago I had a job where my boss insisted on having the shop radio tuned to Limbaugh. At that time he was slurring his words and not making a lot of sense (or less sense than usual). This went on for a few weeks. People were calling and offering him excuses like “Rush, you sound tired” or “Rush, do you have the flu?” and “Rush, we’re worried about you”. Limbaugh was offering all kinds of excuses like the satellite uplink was causing a delay, the call computer was mal-functioning and blah, blah, blah. Anyone with half a brain could tell he was cooked. Soon after that he announced his addiction and rehab vacation. He outright lied to his listeners…. and they didn’t care. I wish I could somehow find archives of those shows.
March 2nd, 2009 at 1:28 pmSo 8,000 conservatives met for a week or a great portion there of and came up with a drug addled, gas bag, know liar, talk show comedian as their leader and their platform from that meeting was to bash the new president elected by the closest thing we have seen to a landslide in many years, attack other Americans and members of their own party.
Does that sum it up or did I miss something?
March 2nd, 2009 at 1:29 pmOh, Kay, do you really think Rush was reading the magazine?
March 2nd, 2009 at 1:30 pmthat would be known liar…not know liar. Sorry.
March 2nd, 2009 at 1:31 pmActually, I remember from my civics class is that the great strenght of the consisution are its intentional statment of principles which have to be renewed to fit the current situation – unlike many state constitutions which are highly specific and have to be junked every once in a while.
And if we want to talk Bastardization of the Constitution, can we start with Gitmo ?

Who else did they make their final speaker? Who else in the Republican’t party can command people to apologize to him if they publicly disagree with him?
March 2nd, 2009 at 1:39 pmIf Rush is thinking of setting himself up as a separate nation, I hope he won’t let us talk him out of it.

Unfortunately for Rush (and O’Reilly too) these people are dying off at an alarming rate and there aren’t any new listeners to take their place. I predict within the next 4 years Rush and his ilk will all see their listening audience diminish to the point where they will be on life support.

What is funny is how Rush is a complete ignoramus who is adored by the attendees at CPAC and was applauded for his butchering of the Declaration of Independence AND the Constitution.
March 2nd, 2009 at 1:54 pmRush Limbaugh, the new face of the GOP! ROTFL! It fits though, especially with all the nonsense that GOPers spew on a daily basis. If this is the best they can do – 2012 election is going to be thoroughly entertaining!
March 2nd, 2009 at 1:54 pmI figure there are three possible reasons for Rush Limbaugh misquoting the U.S. Constitution:
1. Rush really does know the difference between the Constitution and the Declaration, and he just misspoke (a la Joe Biden). OR
2. Rush honestly believes it’s the Constitution preamble that contains the quote he used because he doesn’t know any better. OR
3. Rush does know the difference, but he thought that claiming the quote came from the Constitution preamble would add a bit more drama to it, so he lied.
In other words, it was an honest slipup (1), he’s an idiot (2), or he’s a liar (3).
If it was an honest slipup, I might be willing to cut him some slack. After all, I make slipups too, and so does practically everybody I know. Then I remember how the rabid right tends to pounce on Joe Biden whenever he misspeaks (even though they KNOW Joe knows FDR never “got on the television”), and I figure criticism is fair game.

True, he says things that idiots love to hear, but he, himself, is not an idiot. So I don’t think the reason is number 2, either. Which leaves number 3. He lied. He knew that his audience was dumb enough to believe him, so he said it.

Yeah, right. And I’m a kumquat from Queens too.
March 2nd, 2009 at 2:09 pmYou’re full of it.
Where the hell is Drudge? His headline should be Limbaugh speaks! Market crashes!

IMHO, the people in that audience are the type who equate “happiness” with “wealthiness”. So, when their hero, Rush, says that the Constitution guarantees us the right to the pursuit of happiness (it doesn’t), they hear “the pursuit of wealthiness”. They believe they have a Constitutional right to become as wealthy as they want. This “right” appears nowhere in the Constitution.
But if they wish to claim it’s a right guaranteed under the 9th and 10th Amendments, then they have to agree that the right to have an abortion is supported by those same amendments by the same legal rationale.
March 2nd, 2009 at 2:14 pmWtchdog,If are we so embarassed to openly support the Dems, they how did Obama win in Nov?It sure wasn`t the supreme court that helped him.
March 2nd, 2009 at 2:15 pmMost left-wingers are too embarrassed to openly support the DEMocraps. It’s ok, we know the truth.

Let the CancerVative shillers implode upon themselves. There’s no need to inform people that this ship is sinking, or else people might try to rescue it.
March 2nd, 2009 at 2:24 pmAnd if Obama can’t get the economy working again it might swing to right a lot faster than you would hope.
Most right wingers are too cowardly to admit that their irrelevant and intentionally obstructionist… good for you.
Keep hoping…
March 2nd, 2009 at 2:28 pmObama and working class America will prevail with or without the re-pukes, but to show support for failure because you got your asses whipped in Nov and are sore losers from the playground is a sad commentary on the Repubs and their willingness to let America fail, so they can take credit to rebuild what they have destroyed since Reagan.They need to grow the phuck up and help or just get the hell out of they way.Fascism didn`t work the last eight years, so now we do it they way real Americans want it done and that`s why we put Obama in the W.H.

March 2nd, 2009 at 2:32 pmAnd if Obama can’t get the economy working again it might swing to right a lot faster than you would hope.
This is ignorant. The president has said that we didn’t get into this mess overnight, and we’re not going to get out of it overnight. And the more the Republicans and conservatives obstruct the recovery, the longer it will take to recover.
Right-wing economic philosophy got us into this mess. Right-wing economic philosophy sure as hell won’t get us out.
March 2nd, 2009 at 2:35 pmI love the Democratic Party. In fact, I got kicked off some liberal blogs back in 2007 for saying just that. Oh well! I continue to care about my party and was one of millions last year volunteering to make it a better party and to elect better Democrats to it. What were the reich wingers doing last year? Blaming the Democratic Party for their own failings and putting forth MORE OF THE SAME and look what it got them! Bah hahahahahahahahahahahahaha!

March 2nd, 2009 at 2:37 pmI just love those pictures of Rush nonchalantly hold a lit stogie. It would be highly ironic if his posturing, and devil-may-care attitude about smoking caused him to develop cancer of the mouth, lips, tongue or esophagis, and did what no threatened Fainess Doctrine would ever accomplish, silencing him for good.
March 2nd, 2009 at 2:37 pmEverybody that doesn’t wear their political beliefs on their shirt sleeve is a republican to you guys
What about people who post their right wing political beliefs on a web-site and have their name link to a hokey, anti-obama picture… can’t we assume they’re a right winger?
You sure keep your political beliefs well hidden if you’re a leftie… (or even the much sought after Independent)
March 2nd, 2009 at 2:41 pmNot only that Barfly, but Limbo’s sheer size is proof that he’s a fat lazy f***er who sits on his arse all day pointing fingers at the Democrats and calling us lazy….while food slops down the front of his shirt as he changes cable channels!
He’s gross.
March 2nd, 2009 at 2:42 pmBarfly, Did you the picture where he was kissing some women at CPAC and it sure looked like she was being poisoned or heaven forbid a a godless dem was touching here.
March 2nd, 2009 at 2:43 pmI happen to catch 10 seconds of Rush’s CPAC bloviation and in this 10 seconds he said (paraphrasing) “I don’t need a teleprompter. blah blah blah”. Gee Rush, I guess you did need a teleprompter because you can’t keep facts straight in your head.
March 2nd, 2009 at 2:45 pmLimbaugh has 30,000,000 reasons per year to say and do stupid things that get a lot of attention.
He’s just an entertainer folks.
The joke is on you if you take this pill popper seriously!

March 2nd, 2009 at 2:50 pmThis is what happens when you have someone that only has a high school education and a questionable one at that. Porkulus barely passed and he graduated by the skin of his teeth. He could have benefited from Community College or a Trade school. Instead, Porkulus became the standard carrier for St. Ronnie.
If Porkulus started using drugs during the ’80’s, then he is still stuck in that time frame. We all know that he is still “using” so he’s never matured mentally and neither has his followers and supporters.
March 2nd, 2009 at 2:51 pmDrago, It`s not that we take him seriuosly it`s that there is actually 30 million or so a$$hats out there that do, not to mention the morons in Washington who think he is a Diety of sorts.

March 2nd, 2009 at 2:53 pm
Absolutely correct. The problem isn’t what we think of what Rush says. We already know he’s full of crap. But his listeners and fans in Congress do believe him. I attribute that to the sad truth that they do not operate in the fact-based community. They work in the ideology-based community, and they simply accept their ideology as fact.
March 2nd, 2009 at 2:59 pm“Limbaugh misquotes Constitution while arguing Obama policies are ‘bastardization’ of Constitution.”
It was those pain killers that fogged his brain. And his followers could care less what comes out of Limbaugh’s mouth.
March 2nd, 2009 at 2:59 pmNote that he said “We believe that the constitution says…”
And they do. They also believe that the founding documents talk about Christianity being the official religion of the land. “It’s a Christian Nation…”
These people believe in all sorts of fantasies that are fed to them by the conservative propagandists like Limbaugh. And they never question the words of their leaders, even when they conflict with well-known facts. They have a way of compartmentalizing their “beliefs” so their heads don’t explode when different beliefs collide. Right-Wing Authoritarianism is kinda creepy that way.

March 2nd, 2009 at 3:20 pmRush’s father served in combat in WWII and old Porkulus got pimples on his butt so that he didn’t have fight in Vietnam. It goes to show you that he is nothing but Porkulus which is a phony word just like Rush is a phony person.

Actually, Cats, Rush suffered from the exact same problem his father had. It didn’t stop his father from serving, but for Rush, it was a way to get out of being shot at in a far away land.
March 2nd, 2009 at 3:48 pmAnyone think it was merely a coincidence that he used the word “BASTARDization”?
Think about it. This guy is total complete SCUM.
RushAddict needs to go to rehab methinks….
March 2nd, 2009 at 3:49 pmYou must be a young one. When you age a little you will gather a totally different view of politics. Don’t get so stressed out about this crap no one party is right, the faster you get that through your thick little head the faster you’ll stop barking for a particular party. Good Luck!

March 2nd, 2009 at 3:56 pmwatchdog. Do you think this tone is appropriate? I think it makes you look boorish and pompous as well as just a regular old d ouchebag. I hope I am wrong. Are you those things?
If I didn’t know people were seriously attacking Rush Limbaugh in regards to the Constitution I would think this was amusing. The problem with the Democratic party is that they dig there own holes and bury themselves with it. The irony in this, having blogs blowing up with *limbaugh ignorant of the constitution* will backfire big time. You have people running around on blogs screaming how the Repubs no nothing of it while referencing bush etc etc.
All while this narrative is being *pushed* into the MSM to bring the topic front and center and have everyone regurgitating the same talking point such as this article. The Democratic party will not win the *message war* with the Republicans. Not today or any other day after. You would think that someone would stop and ask themselves why the Republicans don’t mind getting to the closest camera, spotlight and microphone stating they want Obama’s policies to fail and have absolutely no problem whatsoever stating such. All while everyone else plays right into there hands with articles written on subjects such as this.

____________________________________________________________
What if watchdog really IS boorish, pompous, and a regular old d0uchebag? He may not be able to help himself.
But seriously — I support the valid point you bring up. It should be possible to disagree with another poster without being offensive and condescending (and I should point out that watchdog isn’t the only guilty party — even posters whom I normally agree with have been known to take this low road, and need the occasional reminder to be more civil).
March 2nd, 2009 at 4:12 pmWho I am has no relationship to you. What I want to to be will not make you it. So might you be specific as to why you feel that tone appropriate
March 2nd, 2009 at 4:13 pmWhat I want “you” to be will not…
March 2nd, 2009 at 4:16 pmI think it is a very appropriate tone. Well I am what you want me to be, if making me all those things makes you a better person then by all means do so.
I think someone wants to be your huckleberry, db.

I can testify that anal cysts were not a barrier to military service. I read that thousands of GIs had it, but still served in WWII, and I personally seen others during my Vietnam experience had it as well.
Flush Limpdick is a cowardly chickenhawk, plain and simple.
March 2nd, 2009 at 4:42 pmNo ifs, ands, or BUTTS!
So Rush Blimpblob misquoted the Constitution? No big deal; after all, Dubya called it “a goddam piece of paper”, and God knows a CONservative can’t be wrong!
March 2nd, 2009 at 4:48 pmRush is sure getting a lot of free media exposure right now.

Pretty sad. The neocon/corporate owned repugs have been reduced to being led by a spokesman that is drug addled and hate filled, who sent his maid to go score his hillbilly heroin for him. A throwback to Spiro Agnew….another criminal repug from the past….Rush fits his description of a Nattering Nabob of Negativity…..eh?

March 2nd, 2009 at 6:48 pmSpeaking of Obama and the Constitution:
Obama should preserve the Constitution and address Bush’s racial discrimination against black people.
Bush certainly did not treat black people as if they are equal relative to white people.
Instead, Bush treated black people as if they are inferior to white people.
