CNN's Campbell Brown on Thursday night framed a panel segment around Rush Limbaugh's comment that he wishes President Obama will fail if success means implementing socialist policies, a remark she characterized as matching his usual “outrageous” outbursts and which “has a lot of people crying foul out there.” Guest Mark Halperin, editor-at-large and senior political analyst for Time magazine and the former political director at ABC News, then denounced Limbaugh as “off-key” from the “mainstream media” and “congressional Republicans” -- as it that's a bad thing -- and thus declared expressing the view “a big mistake.”
Brown played a clip of Rush Limbaugh telling FNC's Sean Hannity that he wants President Obama to fail, as Limbaugh wondered: “If his agenda is a far-left, collectivism -- some people say socialism -- as a conservative...why would I want socialism to succeed?” As if that were some sort of over the line concept, Brown asserted “outrageous [is] Limbaugh's stock and trade, but this has a lot of people crying foul out there.”
A lot of people in what Limbaugh dubs the “drive-by” media, apparently, as Halperin scolded Limbaugh for straying from the establishment's party line:
It is off-key...from what the mainstream media, the dominant media's talked about. It's off-key for a lot of congressional Republicans, it's off-key for a lot of independents. So right now I think that what's missing from Limbaugh's critique is alternative ideas. Just being someone saying no, I want you to fail, without that extra sentence of saying here's what I believe instead, I think is a big mistake right now and it's not going to get much of a following.
Except from all those in Limbaugh's large audience which listen to him, regularly hear him assessing policies and ideas and look to him to point the way out of the political wilderness.
(A night earlier, Wednesday, Limbaugh's take also enraged MSNBC's Chris Matthews. Details and video in Geoffrey Dickens' post, “Chris Matthews: 'Does Rush Limbaugh Hate This Country?'”)
From about the half-way mark of the January 22 edition of Brown's not very aptly named 8 PM EST show, No Bias, No Bull:
CAMPBELL BROWN: Rush Limbaugh's getting a lot of extra attention today for a jab he took at President Obama last night. With the new administration just getting to work and polls showing a huge majority of Americans backing the new President, listen to what Limbaugh said when Sean Hannity asked him if he wants President Obama to succeed.
RUSH LIMBAUGH ON FNC'S HANNITY: I want him to fail. If his agenda is a far-left, collectivism – some people say socialism – as a conservative, heart-felt, deeply, why would I want socialism to succeed? [Video of the entire exchange]
BROWN: Now, being outrageous Limbaugh's stock and trade, but this has a lot of people crying foul out there. Does he speak for Republicans?...Given Obama's popularity, his message about bringing the country together right now, is there an appetite out there for comments like that from Rush?
MARK HALPERIN, TIME: There isn't much of one, but Rush Limbaugh's one of the few Republicans who's got some fight in him now and he does have a following, he does have a big audience. It is off-key, though, from what the mainstream media, the dominant media's talked about. It's off-key for a lot of congressional Republicans, it's off-key for a lot of independents. So right now I think that what's missing from Limbaugh's critique is alternative ideas. Just being someone saying no, I want you to fail, without that extra sentence of saying here's what I believe instead, I think is a big mistake right now and it's not going to get much of a following.

What the hell is so
January 22, 2009 - 22:32 ET by NewsbusterbrownWhat the hell is so outrageous about his comments? What do they expect any self-respecting conservative to say?

It's gotten too easy.
January 22, 2009 - 22:38 ET by Mike BrattonThey've gotten used to these milquetoast, go-along-to-get-along Republicans who have apparently sacrificed what convictions they had on the altar of the Obama cult.
Consequently, when someone comes along who has the courage of his convictions, it sounds "off-key" to them.

January 23, 2009 - 07:49 ET by 10ksnookerThey expect Conservatives to say nothing. And if they get their way with censorship of talk radio, that's exactly what they will be able to say.
You see, socialism cannot exist, if the press is free.
Hold on a minute... How many
January 23, 2009 - 09:45 ET by ThatDudeHold on a minute... How many people wanted Bush to fail? How many cries over the years have been calling for the failure of capitalism? There's been so much cheering over the hurting economy as a means to implement socialism. Let's not focus on the fact that part of the trouble here was the implementation of socialist policies and the belief that markets shouldn't be allowed to have a downturn. They don't understand our side and the hypocrisy of all this is blatant.
REALLY
January 23, 2009 - 11:52 ET by cvgbuckeyeThis is from a bunch of leftists when asked, "Do you want us to win the war in Iraq", either refused to answer, or said no; or in the case of Dirty Harry, "The war in Iraq is lost".

Quoting Rush...
January 22, 2009 - 22:39 ET by BondPlainBond"Were the liberals out there hoping Bush succeeded or were they out
there trying to destroy him before he was even inaugurated? Why do we
have to play the game by their rules? Why do we have to accept the
premise here that because of the historical nature of his presidency,
that we want him to succeed? This is affirmative action, if we do that.
We want to promote failure, we want to promote incompetence, we want to
stand by and not object to what he's doing simply because of the color
of his skin? Sorry. I got past the historical nature of this months
ago. He is the president of the United States, he's my president, he's
a human being, and his ideas and policies are what count for me, not
his skin color, not his past, not whatever ties he doesn't have to
being down with the struggle, all of that's irrelevant to me. We're
talking about my country, the United States of America, my nieces, my
nephews, your kids, your grandkids. Why in the world do we want to
saddle them with more liberalism and socialism? Why would I want to do
that? So I can answer it, four words, "I hope he fails." And that would
be the most outrageous thing anybody in this climate could say. Shows
you just how far gone we are. Well, I know, I know. I am the last man
standing."

I LOVED THE INTERVIEW
January 23, 2009 - 12:43 ET by DEVILDOCMOMand again realized why Rush is where he is...the things he states are what I believe, I just cannot put the words and thoughts out as well.
I must admit to increasing fear as I see where bho is headed and how his programs will put more dims in power and make it more difficut for us to succeed with our beliefs in the future. I hope I do not wake up one morning to hear (among other things) Universal Health Care has been implemented...
There's absolutely nothing
January 22, 2009 - 22:45 ET by robert108There's absolutely nothing "outrageous" about standing up for real American values, and about opposing totalitarian socialism, which is what Obama wants to impose on us.
Oh, yes, there is . . .

Anybody else actually watch
January 23, 2009 - 09:49 ET by ThatDudeAnybody else actually watch this? They brought in a spineless "republican" strategist who gave way nearly every time he said something even vaguely conservative.
Of course the Marxist MSM isn't happy with Rush.
January 22, 2009 - 22:50 ET by R D HelmIf I were them, I wouldn't be, either.
Rush took dead aim at the Dear Leader's Marxism and hit him right in the gonads.
All Rush said was what most of us who actually understand what socialism really is all about have known for some time, probably as far back as when Campbell Brown was picking out her first training bra, and that is this:
Marxism does not, has not, and never will actually work.
"...and polls showing a huge majority of Americans backing the new President, listen to what Limbaugh said when Sean Hannity asked him if he wants President Obama to succeed."
I'm sorry, "comrade" Brown, but just because you and your fellow propagandists (who masquerade as journalists) managed to convince 65 million government-schooled DumbMasses to vote for this freedom-hating fraud, there were still 53 million of us that did not buy into your pro-socialist propaganda.

Rush
January 22, 2009 - 22:56 ET by slickwillie2001I generally refer to Brown's show as 'All Biased Bull'.
Rush's position is perfectly acceptable. When people like me say we want Obama to be successful, I mean I don't want him to fail at keeping us safe, or lose the two wars we are in, and I want him to revive our capitalist economy. I also don't want him to mess around with interns, commit perjury, and end up impeached. It doesn't have to mean that we are going to agree with everything he suggests, -that would be ridiculous.
Brown and the other Obsycophants in the liberal media want the kumbaya-moment inauguration day nonsense to last for his entire first term. Not going to happen.
Oh the hubris. These
January 22, 2009 - 23:00 ET by rbosqueOh the hubris. These liberals have been wailing about Bush since day one hoping he would fail in Iraq hoping his economic policies would fail. Of course his policies worked. They were so desperate for Bush to be blamed for ANYTHING. This economic mess was their doing. Barney Frank and the rest are responsible for the housing fiansco right before Bush left. What a coincidence. The MSM have been nothing but DNC sock puppets. P!ss on them.
But there is still "hope..."
January 22, 2009 - 23:11 ET by Hooterville DenizenHope, that our new president will backtrack from his campaign positions and get a big dose of reality. Hope, that the most surprised people in this country will be the far left 6 months from now when Mr. President discovers he can no longer vote "present" and makes choices that people in the center and right-of-center can support. Hope, that Nancy and Harry will be unable to lead him around by the nose.
There may be hope. The clock is ticking on the "blame it on Bush" strategy. Very soon, it's THIS administration's success or failure we will be discussing.
The trifecta of outrageous is:

January 22, 2009 - 23:25 ET by Dee BunkWe knew they were extremely bad losers but they're also the worst winners imaginable. They are so hateful despite living relatively comfortable lives. It boggles the mind. What will these people do under real adversity?
It's very sad this liberal American Idol culture we are living in. Our new American Idol Messiah President won't save us from his followers either. In his mind it's Republican's fault for making them so mad. Bush has been nothing but a statesman and respectful and tolerant of the most outrageous far leftists and yet he's blamed for their rancor. It really makes be sick in a way that is so strong I can't even convey it with words.
This is the fun part of
January 22, 2009 - 23:21 ET by balboaThis is the fun part of regime change. The right starts to criticize Obama and say things like "I hope he fails" after they questioned the patriotism of ANYONE who dared be against Bush's policies.
The left, after hearing the right's criticism, says "Hey, I thought you said it was bad to criticize the president?" even though they criticized Bush for myriad things, big and small.
No one said it was wrong to criticize the President balboa
January 22, 2009 - 23:37 ET by Dee Bunkwhere do you guys come up with this stuff? It's wrong to call him nasty names and cheer people who throw shoes at him and make wild accusations that he's targeting civilians. It's also wrong to criticize him by participating in rallies paid for by foreign enemies.
Bush and the majority of his supporters have always said people have a right to protest and criticize the President. It's standing side by side with communists and terrorists and using their propaganda that crosses the line. Don't you people understand nuances? Jeez -everything is so black and white to you guys
If you bothered to listen or read the context of Rush's comments, he clearly said that he wants socialism to fail. Me, I'm different. I'm going to steel a line I heard on twitter today.
"I support the Presidency but not the occupant" ya know like supporting the troops but not the war.
Really? No one ever said
January 22, 2009 - 23:44 ET by balboaReally? No one ever said that? I beg to differ.
I know what Rush said. I'm pointing out the way both sides use the regime change to try and "gotcha" the other side.
People criticized the president for endorsing torture. Other people said "It's not torture" and how could you say that about your president.
People are criticizing this president for trying to establish socialism. Other people are saying "It's not socialism" and how could you say that about your president.
you can beg all you want balboa - you've got nothing
January 22, 2009 - 23:52 ET by Dee Bunkyou've obviously never understood us.
You really can't take off
January 22, 2009 - 23:55 ET by balboaYou really can't take off the Republican glasses to understand this point? You don't see both sides using regime change to try and "zing" the other side?
Why are you on here
January 23, 2009 - 07:36 ET by bretzysdudeWhy are you on here anyway??? What is your point of being here???
*sigh*
January 23, 2009 - 00:01 ET by candanceFirst off, America doesn't have "regime changes" because we don't have regimes here.
Republicans made sure Hillary failed to give us government healthcare in the early 90s and both sides got over that pretty easily.
Democrats made sure Dan Quayle failed as VP and Republicans got over it.
It's a long standing tradition to hope your opponent fails in politics. But BDS went over the line. And you're wrong, no one ever said you couldn't criticize Bush and still be patriotic. In fact people on NB criticize Bush all the time. But the left took it way too far.
We conservies *never* blamed our troops for Clinton's mistakes. We never called them terrorists in Serbia and never accused Wesley Clark of betraying us. There was an understanding that Clinton messed things up but our troops were still the good guys.
We *never* accused Clinton of planning Oklahoma City or blowing up levies to flood out ghettos. We criticized his policies, we questioned his leadership, but we never called him a racist murderer.
Even at the height of the Monica embarrassment, the worst you would get from an average conservie was a joke about cigars. Bush was literally booed at his farewell address after being gracious toward Obama.
Don't you sit there and even try to compare Limbaugh's comment to the way the left has acted the last eight years.
Ugh. Forget it. I didn't
January 23, 2009 - 00:05 ET by balboaUgh.
Forget it. I didn't realize this concept was so difficult to understand.
you're making it hard bal
January 23, 2009 - 00:08 ET by candanceUnbelievable. Just friggin unbelievable.
The left comes out of eight years of blatant hate toward the president - all the while screaming about patriotic witch hunts - and then has the nerve to compare it to one passing comment from someone on the right.
I'm a typical white person.
candance

They go after people they see as a threat to their power!
I know! I didn't say it was
January 23, 2009 - 00:13 ET by balboaI know! I didn't say it was right. I said simply that it was occurring.
um....
January 23, 2009 - 00:17 ET by candanceReally? No one ever said that? I beg to differ.
That's what you said, and you never backed it up.
I'm a typical white person.
There were people on Fox
January 23, 2009 - 00:20 ET by balboaThere were people on Fox shows, people on this board, who said it was disgraceful the way people on the left criticized Bush. I'm not making judgements on that. I'm saying it occurred.
nice move of the goalposts there
January 23, 2009 - 00:28 ET by candanceYour response to Dee was to specifically assert that conservies didn't want anyone to criticize Bush. She said we didn't care if you criticized him as long as you were polite about it and stayed on point and didn't resort to throwing shoes. You said you begged to differ.
The right starts to criticize Obama and say things like "I hope he fails" after they questioned the patriotism of ANYONE who dared be against Bush's policies.
That's what I'm waiting for you to back up.
I'm a typical white person.
key words being "the way" balboa
January 23, 2009 - 00:27 ET by Dee Bunkduh. The way one criticizes is what makes the difference. It's obsurd to say that people said you couldn't criticize Bush.

Right candance... That 90%
January 23, 2009 - 00:34 ET by JerRight candance...
That 90% per cent approval rating once enjoyed by Bush certainly exemplified widespread, blatant hate by the left--particularly in light of the fact the electorate had cast more votes for Bush's Democratic opponent less than a year earlier.

Jer, Bush didn't come
January 23, 2009 - 01:00 ET by thebutlerdiditJer,
Bush didn't come into the office with a 90% approval rating, and you know it. You are being disingenuous. He came into rabid hate, mistrust, and protesters. He was slammed with protesters with signs calling him everything and it's brother, and he couldn't get out and walk the parade route as other Presidents are afforded because the nutz were throwing eggs at the limo. People were throwing fits about him appointing Ashcroft, the baby murdering crowd was all worked up over that. He did not get the adulation and swooning from the press, and the bumperstickers saying "Not My President" were already in full swing. He only went up in the polls after 9/11, when the libs had a brief surge of patriotism, which lasted less time than a kid's Christmas school break. Within days moveon and people like that were sending e-mails saying we were responsible for the attacks, for the way we treated the Muslims. So forgive me if I'm not buying the bull. Or Campbell Brown's Mostly Bias, All Bull S#!t show.

Would these be the same people who now say, saw this today, how he was too busy to handle 9/11 because he was sitting in a puddle of his own p!$$ while reading My Pet Goat? Whatever. You make it however you want the story to go. I don't have the energy to argue.

January 23, 2009 - 01:09 ET by thebutlerdiditI have been so disgusted to hear all these comedians saying there is nothing to make fun of about Obama, or that they're not sure of how to go about the "tone." This is blantant racism, but it gets a pass. Why can't they make fun of him? He's not funny? Really? I have read tons of funny stuff about him. They have to figure out the tone? So you can't make fun of him because he's black? So that means he's different, not the same as white Presidents? Why in the world would his skin color matter? Dr. King's dream was that all men would be treated equal and not judged by their skin color. So by putting him on another level, they are making him different. He is being separated from the usual Presidential jokes. This is racism. Treat the man as an equal, darn it. That's disgusting!

Now, if Obama was white.....well, it would be a moot point, 'cause nobody would know who he was if he were white.

January 23, 2009 - 07:39 ET by bretzysdudeCan you prove that he has no plans? I'd like to see your argument against ours.
So, what exactly did he mean????
January 23, 2009 - 13:30 ET by UpNorth"Mr Wurzelbacher had asked the Democrat:"Your new tax plan is going tax me more, isn't it?"
The Illinois senator answered: "It's not that I want to punish your success; I just want to make sure that everybody who is behind you that they've got a chance to success, too. I think when you spread the wealth around, it's good for everybody".
What is spreading the wealth? If you take from one, to give his work and earnings to another, who didn't work for it, is it socialism? "Everybody who is behind you" covers everyone, right? Those who don't work, won't work, for whatever reason?
So don't say that BHO never said it and has no plans for it. And by it, I think he means socialism.

Jer
Oh please Jer - talk abou laugh riots
January 23, 2009 - 00:00 ET by Dee BunkBush held many of those AND actually put substance behind bi-partisanship. He didn't make cheap shots at his political opponents even when they did it to him - Obama is still making cheap shots.
Anyone can hob knob and be fake friendly while stabbing people in the back. That's nothing new. It is a change from Bush though.
Dee.. We've both been here
January 23, 2009 - 00:40 ET by JerDee..
We've both been here long enough that you certainly should know how much I like and respect George Bush. Agreed, except in one episode that is irrelevant to this discussion, Bush didn't take cheap shots at Democrats.
If Obama is still making cheap shots, I'm not aware of it. Do you have an example?

Obama mean comments on Bush & Katrina @ whitehouse.gov
Also, Bush was nothing but gracious about Obama coming to power and he thanks him by having some nasty digs in his inaug speech.
"Obama doesn't know how to
January 23, 2009 - 01:03 ET by Jer"Obama doesn't know how to be nonpartisan."
Have to disagree about that, Dee. Obama's words and deeds since the election suggest the contrary.
That said, I DO agree with you about the whitehouse site you linked. First time I've seen it, but there are partisan references which seem completely unnecessary and out of place.
Jer
What has Obama done that's nonpartisan?
January 23, 2009 - 01:14 ET by Dee BunkHis inaugural speech wasn't non partisan, his closing Gitmo wasn't non partisan, his torture policy (with executive loophole) wasn't nonpartisan, his pay freeze was a complete symbolic joke and he's already broke his new Lobbying executive order which Gibbs explained by saying that every tough rule will need reasonable exceptions. That basically meant that everything Obama does is for show as a criticism of Bush, but he's allowed to break his own rules.
I can't think of one non partisan thing he's done before during or after the election.
Thank you for at least admitting that those Katrina comments are not appropriate for the white house site.

Dee, Bi-partisanship
January 23, 2009 - 17:36 ET by JerDee,
Bi-partisanship doesn't necessarily mean adhering to or enacting a Republican agenda. [That said, my view on Gitmo, aggressive interrogation, FISA, etc. is probably more in line with the Republican position.]
However, do you not consider Obama's appointing Republicans to his cabinet or retaining them in his administration to be bi-partisan behavior? Do you think the bi-partisan dinners were only designed to get some Republicans in a room for a lousy meal followed by verbal abuse?
Jer
No Jer and no one said it was
January 24, 2009 - 09:18 ET by Dee BunkBipartisanship means compromise and as you've clearly illustrated as a liberal - his Gitmo and torture policies are far left with no compromise as is his reversal of the ban on U.S. government funding of abortions in foreign countries.
No I do not consider Obama appointing A Republican or retaining them in his administration to be bipartisan. Just about every President has done that, including Bush.
There is nothing bipartisan about having dinner with people. Bush had dinner with many Democrats also. It's sad how the mean spirited rancor of the Dems has become so normal that when one sits down to dinner with a Republican, it's all the sudden considered some grand bipartisan act. Very very sad.
Bipartisanship is in the compromise. Obama has yet to offer a meaningful one. Bush compromised (way too much) He let Dems have their Government airport screeners, passed prescription drug bill, let Kennedy have huge say in education bill & let both parties spend like drunken sailors in order to try and keep them from being so irrationally partisan and political on the Global War on Terror.
Obama has done nothing bipartisan and I don't believe he will. The media will portray everything he does as bipartisan though. The media is not the decider of what is bipartisan. The media is far left.
Dee...Bush appointments vs. Clinton's and Obama's
January 24, 2009 - 09:41 ET by JerDee...
Both Clinton and Obama appointed, nominated, or retained more Republicans in more important positons than Bush ever did with respect to Democrats.
Jer
It's meaningless Jer
January 24, 2009 - 10:37 ET by Dee BunkHow can you fall for that kind of token bull? People can call themselves anything they want.
The only so called Republican that Obama appointed to an important position is Gates and he only declared himself as a Republican AFTER Obama appointed him - that's a little funny. Military and CIA should be NON partisan. Gates has acted nonpartisan until his new boss needed him for a token. The only extreme partisanship in the military or CIA has come from radical liberals.
What someone calls themselves is meaningless. Bush had the very liberal Colin Powell as Sec of State.
Again, what matters is the compromises. Bush made many and so did Clinton. I predict Obama will make few if any meaningful ones. He's showing himself to be a very partisan hack so far. It's especially disgusting how he's opening up Bush's documents. Bush sealed Clinton's even though he was a crook because it was the non partisan statesman thing to do. Bush wanted to move forward, not dwell on the past. Obama still won't open his own past to the public.
Obama is extremely bad for this country. He's too concerned with paying back all his rich crazy leftist doners. He won't put the Country first.
Jer
January 23, 2009 - 01:15 ET by thebutlerdiditI guess those unnecessary slams Obama took at Bush in his inaugural speech, after all Bush has tried to do for him, with Bush sitting 5 ft away, were classy bi-partisanship? and Bush even hugged the man afterwards. I would have kneed him in the nads. And the Whitehouse.gov site postings are completely wrong and ridiculously petty.

Nice sarcasim Jer
January 24, 2009 - 08:50 ET by Dee BunkI didn't think any President could show less class than Clinton but Obama is proving me wrong. He will be the most partisan president we've ever had.
Clinton and Carter both became extremely classless after leaving office. Carter was fine (in terms of class only) while in office while Clinton always had problems. The way Obama is acting now - I think when he leaves office he's going to be growing a funky beard (ala Al Gore) and screaming irrational nonsense like lunatics Howard Dean and Al Gore.
Dee...If you had known me at
January 24, 2009 - 09:34 ET by JerDee...If you had known me at the time Clinton left office, you would know that I was very critical of his lack of professionalism during at least part of the transitional period--as well as very critical of his reckless personal behavior while he was in office.
Carter was a lousy President, did some good works after leaving office, but is obviously a very bitter man, and some of his words and actions have been inexcusable.
Howard Dean had one screaming fit, but he is no lunatic.
Al Gore was the representative from the congressional district which included the county where my dad published the newspaper. Gore would come to his office--this was maybe thirty years ago; I had already moved away so I would need to verify time frames--to seek his advice. My dad had become a Republican by that time and, consequently, wasn't a strong Gore supporter but told him he needed to do a better job staying in touch with his local constituents than Gore's father had. I have never had any particular affinity for Gore, but the man is certainly no lunatic.
It's way to early to draw conclusions about Obama. So far I believe he has attempted to act, in many respects, in a very bi-partisan manner. But time will tell.
Jer
I find both Howard Dean and Al Gore to be hateful lunatics
January 24, 2009 - 10:54 ET by Dee BunkIf you think the two of them are normal then there will be little we can ever agree on in terms of what is professional and decent behavior.
I don't understand how you can call Carter bitter - which I completely agree with, but not see how Obama is just like him. The difference is, Carter was a decent man (with very wrong headed and bad policies) up until he left office. Al Gore was certainly more decent before others made him obsessed with trying to steal the election. Obama has yet to show any decency
The difference with Obama, which is extremely scary, is he's starting out like them (minus the screaming of Al Gore). I can't imagine how bad he's going to be. I still don't think either Carter or Al Gore would stoop to attacking someone like Joe the Plumber.
People seem to be fooled by Obama just because he speaks in a soft voice. His words are mean and show that he could care less about anyone who is a true conservative.

As far as national politicians go, most reasonable dems have been tossed out by their party like Joe Lieberman and Richard Gephardt.
Dems used to be reasonable but almost none are now. You can't even find one who will vote pro-life any more. There used to be quite a few. Even the one's who don't say outrageous things make excuses for or stay silent about those who do. Reasonable dems have been silenced. I never hear any of them criticizing the haters on their side.
Republicans on the other hand, take it to the opposite extreme. They save all their criticism for people like Ann Coulter, Rush Limbaugh, and Shawn Hannity when there are thousands of liberals who are much more offensive.

After all, they work for us, not vice-versa (which would come as a profound shock to many of them).
However, I do find it strange that those who complained about their patriotism being questioned are now upset that their guy Obama is being criticized, especially now that he has signed an executive order asserting that our intelligence people can no-longer use coercion, threats, or any other intimidating methods, to extract information from people who wish to kill, or help kill, every man, woman and child in this country.
Something ain't right here.

As I always do, I blame much of this attitude of the Left on the Wussy Republicans! They've rolled over so many times appeasing these parasites, that the Dems now expect it. They watched Bush grab his ankles time after time. They watched McRINO reach across the aisle and screw his own party time after time. They been conditioned to believe that this is the appropriate response by the Republicans...anything less will not be tolerated! Now, they're faced with a guy who proudly stands on his conservative principles, and the media is scared! They're scared because they can't influence him or his audience.
They Drive-bys must be reconditioned to understand that we conservatives will no longer be compliant little wussies at their demand!
Hey drive-bys, News Flash: Rush doesn't grab his ankles...neither do 50 millon others who didn't vote for BHO.

January 23, 2009 - 01:23 ET by thebutlerdiditI agree Bush tried too hard to work with the left, especially after he got smacked by them over and over, and he wouldn't come out and fight back and defend himself. But to say he grabbed his ankles, I disagree. He tried to do what he thought was right. He also realized that trying to fight back against the media, by clearing up every detail they wrote, was just tilting at those windmills. And on top of that, he had to do what he knew to be right, based on intel none of us ever saw. He was a classy man about it all. As for the Rinos who are on the Obama bandwagon, they are just greedy go along pols, who want to stay in good graces with the gang. Just like McCain.

January 23, 2009 - 08:22 ET by old croto read the back and forth banter that goes on at this site nightly. My internal clock is not set for the night so I miss all of the fireworks that go on and have to make my insignificant comments afterwards. That being said, I noticed Mark Halperin's comment "So right now I think that what's missing from Limbaugh's critique is alternative ideas. Just being someone saying no, I want you to fail, without that extra sentence of saying here's what I believe instead, I think is a big mistake right now and it's not going to get much of a following."
Alternative ideas? Alternative ideas? Where in the heck were all the "alternative ideas" from any lib the past 8 years? From Kerry's "I have a plan", Gore's "The earth has a fever", Duh1's "Hope n change" and uncountable other gobledeegook from the left that never, ever attempted to put conservative thoughts and ideas into context this idiot asks for alternative ideas? Go ahead, drink the koolaid Ohhbama nation. The flavor is sour grape.
Being a maverick used to be a good thing. Now it's a bad thing.
January 23, 2009 - 09:00 ET by Ted ClarkeThere's a line from the movie "Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid" that has always cracked me up. When Rigby Reardon (Steve Martin) asks the question, "Who are 'they'?" Captain Carlos Rodriguez (Reni Santoni) says, "No one knows who 'they' are. Only 'them' know who 'they' are."
I'm often reminded of this line when the daily sputum of our mainstream media gets hacked up all over my freshly pressed pants. Campbell Brown did not disappoint when she offered up this green and slimy bit of dishonest reporting: She said that Rush's views had "...a lot of people crying foul out there.” I'm sure that if someone were to ask who these nameless "people" are, Captain Rodriguez's answer would be closest to the truth.
As for Mark Halprin, he said, "It is off-key...from what the mainstream media, the dominant media's talked about. It's off-key for a lot of congressional Republicans, it's off-key for a lot of independents."
Aren't independents, by definition, supposed to be "off-key"? Aren't they the ones who march to the beat of a different drummer? And weren't we told that dissent and bucking the majority is the true essence of patriotism? Shouldn't Rush, like McCain, be praised for his maverick ways? I guess this is the "change" that Obama was talking about.

January 23, 2009 - 11:14 ET by rammingspeedThe new statist government, with all their majority-ness, is going to lay down the law for everyone in the journalistic or just plain speaking out business. The AP is already complaining about Obama's lack of accessibility, and Obama put down Politico by saying now is not the time for them to ask certain questions.
Just as you are complaining about Limbaugh being "off key," the Obama gang will be complaining (and acting against) you whenever you are off key. And that will happen.
It won't work. Once everyone catches on, there'll be blow back, but this will be the way of things for a while. It will be fun to watch.
John Edwards said
January 23, 2009 - 13:51 ET by UpNorth"dissent is not unpatriotic, dissent is patriotic". I think Hillary said something similar. But they were talking about people dissenting against the 43rd President, not O.
So, no you can't wish ill of the O's policies, you must wish for success. He signed the order closing Gitmo, but has no idea where to put the 245 terrorists there, or how to deal with them. But, Planned Parenthood will thrive. Cuz he knows how to deal with the folks who oppose abortion.
