Did Democrat politicians and Keith Olbermann want Bush to fail? Didn’t they want the US military to fail in Iraq? Hmmmm, Ellen Goodman? How unpatriotic was that? The Democrat politicians wanted military failure in Iraq.

I realize in a way any comparison of Olbermann to Limbaugh is an apples to oranges comparison, because Bathtub Boy only has on a good day 5% of the audience Rush has, but the Dems and Bathtub Boy certainly wanted failure for Bush and this country for 8 years. Rush wants the country to succeed despite the best efforts of BarryO and the Obamas to socialize it.

...us to fail in Afghanistan and Iraq?  Is it actually worse to want to see an ideology that has impoverished and enslaved billions fail than to wish that our country lose a war, and waste the lives and sacrifice of our soldiers?

Clearly so. 

... NAGGING and WHINING.  I've been married for over 30 years and I KNOW about women.  Goodman states, "Women have had quite enough men yell at them, thank you,".  Well, Ellen, men have had quite enough of women NAGGING and WHINING at them, thank you.  Oh, and women yell too.

Rush is Public Enemy #1 for all liberals. Without him, they would rule the world. Thanks, Rush, for speaking up in an intelligent, fact-filled, honest way. Liberals HATE the truth and will do anything to supress it.

And, God Bless Paul Harvey. May he rest in peace.

I think Miss Goodman must be hanging with Cheer Leader of the House, Comrade Pelosi! Remember, five hundred million jobs a month? Same goes for Miss Goodmann and her seventy million votes. But what the hay, their only numbers, just like the Stinkulous Package!

Ya got one point wrong. She didn't say the Obamassiah won by 70 million, she said he won with 70 million. Her point being that 70 million people she agrees with can't be wrong. Or should I say, "with whom she agrees?"

Otherwise, I'm with ya 20 million percent.

  MSM - shaping all the perceptions you need to believe, then confirming it with a poll.

  I used to grade Junior High essays and term papers, and I can honestly say that if you had turned that in (Even if you turned it in on time, typed, double-spaced with 1.5" margins and all the words were spelled correctly) I would have returned it to you to rewrite.  That was pathetic.

So what are Oprah's negatives among the male 25-54 demographic?

Not a single lefty shows up to defend this.

 Had me till he "tried" to say Me Goodman said Obama won by 70 million votes. Who is trying to slant words now? She didn't say that. She said nearly won WITH 70 million votes.

 So quit trying to find something that isn't there. Gosh never thought I'd be defending a Liberal. But I want both sides to be fair and don't want to play in the mud like them.

Thats 20 million during the day, every day. Ellen.  doesnt compare to voter turnout.  AND, your readership is.........

Why do the liberals keep bringing up the election results and comparing them to Rush's ratings in COMMERCIAL radio? Rush didn't run for office, so that comparison is asinine.

You see, it’s all about the “change.”

So that’s the issue with Ellen Goodman….

Goodman has always been an elitist leftist b!tch currying favor with her komrades...just another enemy within we need to fight.

Much as I'd like to comment on Goodman's column, It's better to present Rush's original remarks; many may not have heard the program or have forgotten what he said or think that the leftists are correct in their criticism.

I differ from Rush in substance on some points and in expression on others, but these differences are minimal. The notion of unthinking unanimity on the right is another left-liberal phantasm. He sometimes can display ignorance on a topic, e.g., the long civilization between the Tigris and the Euphrates. He can be disturbingly gross. 

But he is sophisticated in his political thought and remarkably articulate. It is good that the White House does not want a debate with Rush. Rush would crush Obama, pinning him down on policy and exposing him as a leftist fanatic, slick and quick, perhaps, but committed to much that many Americans and I would hope most Americans reject as contrary to their ethics and to the best interest of the people of this country and the world. Rush's comments of January 17 follow. Please keep in mind that he spoke extemporaneously. While he does "show prep" and has an idea going in what points he will make, there's no way he could have said what follows without an agile mind, and without a deep commitment to the positions he holds: 

"Look, what he’s [Obama] talking about is the absorption of as much of the private sector by the US government as possible, from the banking business, to the mortgage industry,the automobile business, to health care.  I do not want the government in charge of all of these things. I don’t want this to work.  So I’m thinking of replying to the guy, 'Okay, I’ll send you a response, but I don’t need 400 words, I need four: I hope he fails.' (interruption) What are you laughing at?  See, here’s the point.  Everybody thinks it’s outrageous to say.  Look, even my staff, 'Oh, you can’t do that.' Why not?  Why is it any different, what’s new, what is unfair about my saying I hope liberalism fails?  Liberalism is our problem.  Liberalism is what’s gotten us dangerously close to the precipice here.  Why do I want more of it? I don’t care what the Drive-By story is.  I would be honored if the Drive-By Media headlined me all day long: 'Limbaugh: I Hope Obama Fails.' Somebody’s gotta say it. 

"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’m happy to be the last man standing.  I’m honored to be the last man standing. Yeah, I’m the true maverick.  I can do more than four words.  I could say I hope he fails and I could do a brief explanation of why.  You know, I want to win.  If my party doesn’t, I do.  If my party has sacrificed the whole concept of victory, sorry, I’m now the Republican in name only, and they are the sellouts.  I’m serious about this.  Why in the world, it’s what Ann Coulter was talking about, the tyranny of the majority, all these victims here, we gotta make sure the victims are finally assuaged.  Well, the dirty little secret is this isn’t going to assuage anybody’s victim status, and the race industry isn’t going to go away, and the fact that America’s original sin of slavery is going to be absolved, it’s not going to happen.  Just isn’t, folks.  It’s too big a business for the left to keep all those things alive that divide the people of this country into groups that are against each other.  Yes, I’m fired up about this."
