Limbaugh says McCain's camp manipulated Bob Dole: John Kerry had a great Military record
By John Amato Monday Feb 04, 2008 1:15pm
The Conservative world is cracking up. I told you yesterday that it was a bad idea for McCain to seek out Bob Dole to try and calm down Rush and the right wing talkie attacks on him. Anyone could have predicted that wasn't a very good idea. Well...here it comes...
Limbaugh: I'm sorry---Sen. McCain--I think what you are doing is disgraceful. How in the world is what Gov. Romney said a nasty attack on a veteran? What your campaign is doing Sen. McCain is manipulating Bob Dole, a war hero by the way, a war hero Sen. McCain who never talked about it. Bob Dole is being manipulated by your campaign, the leaking of this letter to the liberal media with a dishonest spin, speaks to the insecurity of the McCain camp.
While Rush is obviously trying to be respectful to Dole, he does say that he was manipulated by McCain--so he's very slyly attacking Dole. In the audio you hear a clip of McCain attacking Romney for criticizing Dole---who said that Dole is the last person someone would want to contact Rush because he was a loser in his presidential bid. Rush then bashes the media, but the tone of the letter isn't the important thing which Limbaugh tries to make a big deal out of--it's Dole asking Rush to back off. Talk about throwing gas on a fire for McCain. It's a battle you'll never win.
I almost missed this tidbit, but Limbaugh says: "Ask John Kerry how much a great military record helps you in a Presidential race...."
What a pig. Google Limbaugh and the Swiftboaters or anything close and see how many times he attacked Kerry's service record in '04 and put it in the comment section.

These people are just flat out loony. I know that isn't news to anyone, but you just have to keep repeating it lest people start to think they aren't.
What exactly gives Limbaugh the right to claim knowledge on anything? What has he ever done? *crickets chirping*. I thought so.
The conservative ideology is entirely based on personal insecurity and right now they are insecure about why their politics have failed so miserably. Now they are striking out in all directions, especially at their own people to try and figure out what went wrong.
I can tell you what went wrong.. THEY WERE BORN!!
Oh shit! Rush's heads going to explode now. Huckabee won West Virginia. hahahahahaha
We seem to have more posts on losers like Rush Limbaugh, Bill O'reilly, and Ann Coulter, than we do on true American Patriots like Willie Nelson, Sibel Edmonds, and the many others speaking out for truth and justice in our society. I understand ratings our important, but I personally am getting sick of seeing that cigar hanging out of that mouth etc etc. Real News is occurring.
This is highly entertaining. I'm sorely tempted to donate to Huckabee's campaign, just to keep him in the race a while longer too.
One of these idiots is going to really lose his temper very soon.
Ok, here's what I got...
Rush is loving this. All this attention and the media spotlight are what he lives on. McCain tried to make the argument today that Rush was attacking an American military hero by attacking Dole. This whole thing looks like a total dog fu*k to me. Okay, I've never seen a total dog fu*k but I bet it looks a lot like this.
"The Conservative World is cracking up." You could have stopped right there.
It's their own damned fault. They overreached and are now starting to pay the price by having no viable candidate for POTUS.
Wingnut heads will be exploding tonight as McCain wraps-up the delegates he needs.
It's beautiful. make some popcorn, sit back and watch.
They weren't going to be happy with anyone in the GOP field. Huck, Mitt, McCain, Rudy, Paul....they would have exploded no matter who got the nomination. They are the ultimate unhappy customers.
Apparently they wanted General Jeebus who would round-up and execute all the Sand People. Anything less is unacceptable.
oops...and here it is with the linky.

hope it worked this time...
This whole thing is a bunch of angry old white men pissing on one another verbally....at least so far it's verbally. Sounds like something you would hear coming from the horseshoe court at the old folks home.
The far right's favorite heroin addict is no longer viable when it comes to Republican politics. But most heroin addicts are destined to crash and burn, aren't they?
I guess it's just a matter of time before junkie Rush joins tragically androgynous Coulter on the "Hillary for President" campaign trail.
Imagine those 2 circus freaks out walking around with "Hillary for President" signs.
For some reason I can't get the image of a "total dog f*ck from the horseshoe court at the old folks home" out of my head.
Orangutan. @ 5:
I concur. This is trivia. I come here for meat and potatoes. I can get brain candy elsewhere. I don't give a damn about who said what to whom. Especially the cyst man. He is a cypher. And if I want gossip, I can go hang out over the back fence and listen to my neighbors.
Please, C&L, it's the ECONOMY, the occupation in IRAQ. More hard news, please.
Orangutan. @ 5:
Yeah... but what're you gonna do. The site's name is Crook 'n Liars for gawd's sake.
Ann was on Fox today and man, is she wired about this election. It was like she was on
speed. She's beside herself that McCain might win.
I just hope to god that the primary is all McCain wins. Thinking of four years with him in the
oval office depresses me and scares the hell out of me at the same time.
Orangutan. @ 5:
Oh, that's a cigar? I thought it more shit coming out of his mouth.
casper46 @ 14:
Sorry, I didn't intend to do mental harm.
looks like they wont allow mccain to become president anyway.

and now for your weekly Hicks...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pg2_MntkMzg
Summary (From MMFA): On his radio show, Limbaugh claimed that the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth "were right on the money, and nobody has disproven anything they claimed in any of their ads, statements, written commentaries, or anything of the sort."
As my grandmother used to say, "An empty barrel makes the most noise."
wow.. facts are dispensable and a matter of convenience to limbaugh
You know what? If Rush is the ultimate Republic, why isn't his fat ass running?
Breaking: Gov. Mike Huckabee is winner in West Virginia Republican convention, CNN projects
casper46 @ 25:
You answered your own question, kind of. His fat ass restricts his doing any sort of running, political or otherwise.
Rush is a FAG (Fat A$$ed gassbag).
hahahahahaha
what you're witnessing is the very "ugly" sinking of the GOP Titanic.
personally if they were to start executing each other it wouldn't be good enough...but for all you who are more soft hearted...i would get the heck out of the way....you don't know who else this ship is going to bring with them.
Dr. Matt @ 26:
Listen closely and you might hear Mittens' head explode.
He's so pissed that Huck is still in the race because he feels Huck is stealing votes that would be his.
Rush BLimpbaugh is an irrelevant loser. I was riding in the car with my gf's father on a short errand and he had the Blimpblaugh Comedy Show on. Rush at one point said he was just like a woman, [in that he] can't do math. When we got back I told her and she said to her father, "Oh my God, he said that and you listen to him!!!!?" It was funny watching him try to defend Rush.
McCain manipulated and Bob Dole should never be in the same sentence again!
pissed off patricia @ 29:
Yup. McCain did bad in WVA. Mutt was a close second.
When the going gets tough, the Republican Party turns into the Donner Party.
Bon appetit, assholes.
I for one would never eat a Republic. They're all gristly and taste like bile.
The real Republican base hates veterans, and loves draft-dodging candyass fa@@ots like Russ Limbaugh, George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, Karl Rove, Larry Craig, Mark Foley, Ken Mehlman, Mitt Romney (and his five sons), etc., etc. It's just that simple.
Indeed, I have to wonder, will those Republican convention goers wear those disgraceful Purple Heart bandages again this year . . . this time to scorn their own candidate?
it's prescribed medicine time!
The zealot heads are expanding...stand by for the explosions.
After this election, they really will be frothing at the mouth. I'm looking forward to them attacking the Democratic President...and THIS TIME...having to listen to callers reprimand them for DISHONORING THE PRESIDENT, THE PRESIDENCY, THE TROOPS, THE COUNTRY...etc, etcc etc.
Dr. Matt @ 32:
Maybe McCain and Mittens need to step outside and straighten this thing out. I'm hoping that Mittens really gets McCain riled and we get to see that hot temper of McCain's that we've heard about.
Schadenfreude pie. Mmmmmmmmmmmmm
According to CNN Sen. John McCain was backed by 1 percent of the delegates in W.V.
Do they all listen to Limpbaugh and Mann Coulter?
Awww the sweet sound of desperation. I imagine if it's this bad now, we can fully expect Rush's head to explode between now and November.
Someone hold me a seat, I gotta go get popcorn!
This is exactly the same tone that Limbaugh used against military people against the war. He wouldn't/couldn't denounce their genuine opinion without sounding like an anti-troop douchebag. Instead, he says they're being manipulated and they don't know what they're saying, which is actually worse cos he's saying these vets can't think for themselves. ASS.
As veteran I make this pledge and I would hope every veteran who ever served in the Armed Forces of this country will do the same. I pledge...that if I EVER run into Rush Limbaugh(limpwithnoballs) I will express my displeasure at the attacks this draft dodging coward and drug addict has made at veterans over the years bu doing my best to explain, just the way my drill sargents did behind the latrine the error of his ways.
The truth is even a true "conservative" whatever that is, would get creamed in the general election. The American people have had it with the folly of conservatism and a liberal democratic tsunami is coming. It is fun though to see these so called conservatives eating their own as they totally self-destruct.
I think Rush is clearly exhibiting the signs of anal poisoning.
secularhumanizinevoluter @ 43:
I live about an hours drive away from where he lives. Do you want me to go down and talk to him? I'm not a vet, but my husband is, and he can be a very persuasive speaker.
Tomorrow, after the results are in, Rush Limbaugh is going to pretend that he went into the election booth, and after some "heartfelt gut-checking," he voted for McCain. This will be the beginning of the entire conservative noise machine starting to pretend they wanted McCain all along, because he is just like Reagan, but more Jesus-like.
Rush Limbaugh..is what Americans ( that still think like Americans ) call 'all talk and no walk'. Tough talker and draft dodger ( got daddy to help with that one ) Moral scold that sends his maid out at 1 AM to score drugs in a Denny's parking lot. A 'values conservative' that fills his pocket with Viagra before departing for an island famous for underage prostitution. A tough talker that runs from his own claims of troops being phonies..and we can go on and on with Rushbo.
Remember when you Grandmother told you to "consider the source and ignore it"...it was the likes of Rush that she was education you about.
Jo @ 15:
ya....this site needs to be more like daily kos
please....if i want kos, ill go there
just like you should
this is great theater....you may never see its like again
the repugs eating their own...jus cuz he talks to dems and didnt support a stupid ass tax cut
secularhumanizinevoluter @ 44:
please, please...point this out to your fellow vets
el druggo tries to buy the silence of vets by sending donations
but he continues to show time and time again that he has nothing but contempt for veterans
Could some one PLEASE pop that ass pimple!
goatsage Says: According to CNN Sen. John McCain was backed by 1 percent of the delegates in W.V.
Do they all listen to Limpbaugh and Mann Coulter?
no goatsage....while there are plenty that DO listen to Rash Lameballs, that's not what happened. McCain was 2nd behind Mittens after the first round of votes and they didn't feel they could win on the 2nd round so almost all of the McCain backers defected to Huckelberry. Kinda funny in a way....listening to (ins)Hannity and Lameballs say that "a vote for Huckelberry is a vote for McCain!!"....and now here in WVa it appears a vote for McCain was indeed a vote for the Huckster!
Politics DO make strange bedfellows
Noting Rush's comment about liberal media, I must say the Repugs will take no responsibility for the last 7 years and will blame the media when the Dems win this year. Same thing they did when Nixon was caught in his cover ups and when Clinton won in '92. It's not that people have made up their minds to effect regime change and bring sanity to our government. No, it's the liberal media that have convinced Americans to vote Democratic.
And this is the party of accountabilty? Responsibility?
Wankers to the Core.
liberalal @ 45:
i disagree....a true conservative could win
but the republican party are no longer true conservatives
the last one was goldwater
paul is out fund raising every repug, because he is as close to a true conservative as they have
curtilingus @ 20:
That's too funny! Even if he wins the general(not f***ing likely) he can't legally be sworn in. Gotta love it.
two years ago, the repugs were all over us for doing this to lieberman
i think they need to be reminded of that fact
btw, someone quick, send the following blurb to the msm
rush says kerry has great military record
secularhumanizinevoluter @ 44:
As a veteran myself I was going to tell you "no, I'm using a baseball bat" until I got to your last line. Works for me. I'm damn sick of all these troop hating, veteran hating, America hating rethugs. Most of them are true terrorists and should have been driven to the fringes where they belong long ago.
Every time I see that pic of him with that cigar, I think it's some kind of substitution for a lack he is feeling in his life. Particularly when you look at his expression. Fetishism, perhaps?
ray @ 46:
I think you're right!
secularhumanizinevoluter @ 44:
I'm a vet and if I ever run into him on a golf course I'll introduce his fat head to my Big Bertha 2 metal. Then I'll sell it on Ebay!
Does anyone know that Rush L. left college after but one year (academic problems). He has but a HS diploma yet millions of Americans get their political advice from him. Hmmm.
rush managed to plug rinnai water heaters, one of his regular sponsors, a japanese company that may not know what a lying, always-wrong jerk they're using to sell their product, by saying if he voted for mccain he could never wash off the filth but at least a rinnai heater could keep the hot water coming. rinnai is on line with an email form at foreverwater.com.
rush may be worried about mccain support for media reform and a new Fairness Doctrine. over the years Mccain's few departures from the party line would naturally get his name mentioned by rush, as happens with any GOP rep or senator who strays on something important, and maybe mccain has already let it be known that he doesn't appreciate the chickenhawk jerk getting his offices flooded with the usual dittohead on-call attacks.
rush didn't get a 1/3 BIL contract for nothing and he knows he pays a major part in the GOP control and intimidation of the rest of the media. and maybe some guys like mccain have realized what a big part he's played in turning his party into a party of corruption and ass kissers.
But how can a total anus have anal poisoning? Does this mean The End Is Near for Limmieballs?
With that 10-dollar cigar sticking out of his face, Rush looks like a pit bull taking a dump.
Hopefully there's a massive heart attack in Doushe Limbaugh's future. I wouldn't normally say that about many people, but he's among the exceptions!
A cigar protruding from your anus is a clear sign of the poisoning.
douche bag sez what ?
Limbaugh ought not be talking about any one's military service! He has some explaining to do of his own, of how exactly he dodged the draft!
I FOIA'ed and received his Selective Service Record. Rush has a lot of explaining to do; how he dodged the draft big time after he graduated from high school until, he entered college. Seems like Rush lied to the Selective Service, from May of '69 till late Nov '69. Good ole Rush used his high school deferment for quite a few months after he had graduated!
Also in the Remarks Column it states, "We have no record which provides the specific reason the registrant was found conditional acceptable for service."
Come on Rush, what do you have to say, what was the real reason for being turned down? A little light in the loafers, like to hang with little boys?
Beagle @ 62:
Sean Hannity is a drop out too. (athought there is not wrong with being aq drop out).
I thought he had a big boil on his dupa and got a medical exemption. but hey he could of hid out in the National Guard and partied one week a month like you know who.
John Hoffman @ 66:
That's an insult to Pit Bulls!
Looks like the people he thought he's been programming for years are bucking and braying like jackasses. Go ahead Rush. Tell them you don't like McCain. See how fast they'll turn on you.
Let's call a spade a spade. If McCain were really a hero....he wouldn't have been caught and he would have help others escape.
He was in the wrong place at the wrong time and has made a career out of it. Lemon/lemonade
casper46 @ 4:
After all my railing against folks talkin shit about the south...these troglodytes go and vote for this assclown. Guess I won't be visitatin' West "By GAWD" Virginny anytime soon.
Unless it's to get Jesco Whites autograph. Who's Jesco White you ask?
Google "Dancin Outlaw" and you'll see some scary south.
Ah hell...here's a little taste for youns!
Enjoy!

Jack Jett @ 75:
Ok...I gotta call ya on this...I don't care for the mans politics, but he was a war hero.
His plane was shot down, he was injured if I remember correctly, please correct me if I'm wrong, and he couldn't exactly sprint away after landing. He was tortured repeatedly, legs broken, teeth knocked out...not exactly the best shape to make a run for it. He was an admirals son as well, I think, and he refused to be released before any of his fellow POW's...
I caught Rush's comedy show this morning and heard his rant. Almost hit a tree laughing my but off. I want to know just how McCain's team got hold of this "personal" correspondence if the only person they showed it to was insHannity
It's time McCain confronted Limbaugh personally and screamed in his face!
Here's a great idea. We all know that 'The Surge' (tm) has worked miracles.
What is needed now is a follow up.
I suggest that all of the war-mongering windbags who have done so much to create the Iraq we know and love today, yet never found the time to actually take part in any previous wars, don some faulty body armor, grab a rifle and get themselves to Baghdad.
Rove, Bush, Cheney, Kristol and all their buddies.
I call it 'The Rush'.
Rush can walk and swing a golf club.
It's certainly not too late for him to prove his manhood by getting his fat, worthless, cyst-ridden butt to Baghdad.
"It's certainly not too late for him to prove his manhood by getting his fat, worthless, cyst-ridden butt to Baghdad.
"
Do they sell oxy and viagra in Baghdad? No? Then hell no, Rush won't go.
Just like Comedian Bill Hicks said in 1992,"Rush Limbaugh is a scat muncher....!"
You Dems should be happy. McCain will never win because he is a Liberal. We conservatives aren't in the habit of voting for Liberals. You can dress up a Clinton with lipstick but it's still a Clinton.
Amen Dickie Dick!
Papa bush's boy is romney,papa sends rush some $$$ and he bashes mc lame. simple.
another reason they might be down on mccain- he might be less likely to accept and cover up whatever episode bush's people are planning to hijack the election with. rove's already told rush it's necessary and coming and romney is easy to push around compared to mccain, however much bush asskissing he's done in the past. this bunch of criminals may be very afraid of mccain.
If Ron Paul drops out of the race after Super Tuesday, the oly blimp left promoting a Republican Candidate will be Rush Limbaugh.
John McCain ads show him in captivity. Yeah, uh...he was shot down for spraying napalm on villages in Viet Nam. What would we do as Americans if a god**** jet was spraying your home with napalm?
I admit McNaplam would be good for job security...if you're a soldier. He says you'll be employed for the next hundred years...or as long as you survive.
Look for the draft to return if he is elected.
why doesn't someone skin this fat piece of shit alive and put him on a roast.
I cant listen to the audio clip.
Of these four people (Hannity, Beck, Limbaugh and GWB) I find Limbaugh the least palatable. Likely because he is a better speaker than any of the four, but as disgusting and vile as any of them.
He reminds me of the dude who 'V' killed in the shower.
Richie Rich @ 84:
I love how you wingers all call McCain a "liberal", just admit it, you won't ever stop complaining until the Constitution is shredded, martial law is enacted, and FOX is the only network allowed to broadcast.
I keep waiting for the wingers to explain how Bu$h's fiscally irresponsible, big government war mongering is "conservative".
If you listen to Rush you probably have at least one foot with six toes on it. But what doesn’t get much press or even a cursory mention, is that Bob Dole has an excellent, if somewhat sick sense of humor. That pen thingy he carries around in his gimp hand is actually a running gag he’s refused to move on from o’er all these years. Whenever some imbred GOP mutant would ask for specifics on one of his ambiguous plans for Amerika, he’d get all flustered and tell the unfortunate recipient, “Hey! Bob Dole says pull my finger!”. ANd that’s not even the worst of these sickos. Rush is famous for dropping wolf bait at large gatherings of slobbering conservatives and their tard children.
Dsmith,
You're as ignorant Rush, explain to me how you "Spray Villages with Napalm?"
What happnes to a man that
O.D's on vykadin, oxy cotton & SEX PILLS
BRAIN DAMAGE.....................
Um, yeah. I think that was the point. A very thinly veiled warning to McCain that he ain't seen nothing yet.
TYPICAL JUNKIE LOUDMOUTH !
Russ is clearly nuts. Why normal thinking people would care what this scum bag this is beyond me. He is a f..ked up drugged out pervert who should just crawl away someplace. When Mac gets the nomination and then the WH lets hope RL is finally cast off by real thinking Republicans. Enough is enough!

"Yeah, and sometimes a cigar is a big brown dick."
And if that's the case, the Maha-Rushi is what he eats.
I said it before (#45) and I will say it again.....conservatism is dead, finished, kaput. The neocon policies of George Bush and his defenders on hate radio such as Rush, Hannity, Savage, etc. etc. have twisted and contorted true conservatism to such an extent that it is unrecognizable. The result is a huge splinter within the conservative movement. On one side you have the neocons or phony conservatives and on the other, true conservatives in the Buchanan, Buckley mold. These two groups are as different as night and day and will never join together. The result will be a liberal democratic tsunami this year and liberal democratic dominance for the forseeable future.
odanny @ 91:
I don't think that's the reason you find him the worst. There's just so much more of him to dislike. Rushie, Rushie, you've put all your weight back on since you quit the hard drugs...
Richie Rich @ 84:
Methinks you vote party, buddy. Otherwise you would be able to see that your cretin friend in the White House is so much more of a big spender than anything the Clintons every dreamt. And poor old befuddled John McCain is about as liberal as my grandad's CPA. You just have the mindset that Repubs are more conservative than Dems. But God forbid, John McCain actually thought for himself on serveral issues and didn't do the Limbaugh Lockstep. He MUST be a liberal !
And just think of them ungrateful republican like Dole. Lush Limp-paw had to clear his throat after the '06 thumping in House and Senate. Lush said on his show, " I'm tired of carrying water for these republicans".
Not only is Lush the Waterboy, he is the Pissboy as well. Multi-talented you know.
BOB DOLE never talked about his military service. ARE YOU KIDDING?!? It's all he had.
Who gives a fuck what that fat sack of excrement says about anything? The people who are his fans are a bunch of redneck, uneducated, racist, sexist, homophobic, bible thumpin, sunday xtains. Their (nazi) party has ruined this country, it's standing around the world has been diminished because of the intentional narrow-mindedness of these people. The world would be a MUCH BETTER PLACE if you all fucking euthanize yourselves, quit usin up MY precious oxygen, you mouth breathin troglodyte phillistines!
I'm so godDAMN tired of your BULLSHIT! Calling us anti-American for dissenting against YOUR truly un-American actions! You can ALL FUCK OFF AND FUCKING DIE!
You're actions are bringing about the first American dictatorship, and for that, you will NEVER be forgiven, I hope you all are hunted down to extinction,like the Nazis after WWII, you FASCIST FUCKS!
We who resist you are the TRUE patriots! NOT the flag wavin, saber rattlin, jingoist war mongers who bought into the lies from propagandists like Rush and all the rest of that sad, pathetic ilk.
Ok....ranting is done for the day...
