I smell a right-wing feud in the offing: Limbaugh vs. Steele
By David Neiwert Monday Mar 02, 2009 1:00pm
Via Think Progress, Michael Steele takes his "get down" strategy to D.L. Hughley's Sunday show on CNN, and comes up with a declaration of war for the de facto leader of the Republican Party:
HUGHLEY: Like Rush Limbaugh, who is the de facto leader of the Republican Party.
STEELE: No, he’s not.
HUGHLEY: I will tell you what …
STEELE: I’m the de facto leader of the Republican Party.
HUGHLEY: You know what? I can appreciate that. But no one will actually decry down some of the things he says. Like when he comes out and says he wants the president to fail. I understand he wants liberalism to fail. Like, I get it’s not about the man. But it is still about the idea that he would rather have an idea fail so his idea can move to the forefront. And that would succeed. And that to me is destructive.
STEELE: How is that any different than what was said about George Bush during his presidency?
HUGHLEY: You’re absolutely — let me say something. You’re absolutely right.
STEELE: So let’s put it into context here. Let’s put it into context here. Rush Limbaugh is an entertainer. Rush Limbaugh, his whole thing is entertainment. Yes, it’s incendiary. Yes, it’s ugly.
D: You do get a sense that he would say anything.
HUGHLEY: He influences the party. And I tell you what, you’re the first Republican I have talked to, and I have talked to a lot, to say he’s not the leader of his party. I have never heard anybody say that on any show.
Hoo boy! Those sound like fightin' words! Knowing Limbaugh and his ego -- especially when an, ahem, person of color is involved -- anyone could see this wouldn't be taken lying down.
So sure enough, as Greg Sargent at Plum Line reports:
Rush Limbaugh’s bid to cement his own role as head of the Republican Party just took a wild new turn, with Limbaugh launching a brutal hit on RNC chair Michael Steele, mocking the GOP for being in a “sad sack” state and suggesting that until Steele showed “respect” for conservatives, he’ll have “a tough time” rebuilding the party.
Rush was responding to Steele’s criticism of Rush’s show yesterday as “ugly” and “incendiary.”
Just moments ago on the air, Rush uncorked a rant that undoubtedly sent tremors through RNC headquarters.
“I’m not in charge of the Republican Party, and I don’t want to be,” Rush said. “I would be embarrassed to say that I’m in charge of the Republican Party in a sad-sack state that it’s in. If I were chairman of the Republican Party, given the state that it’s in, I would quit.”
... “Republicans and conservatives are sick and tired of being talked down to, they’re sick and tired of being lectured to,” Rush continued. “And until you show some understanding and respect for who they are, you’re gonna have a tough time rebuilding your party.”
Meanwhile, sure enough, Michelle Malkin is pretty bent at Steele too.
Why, it seems like only a day or so ago they were singing Steele's hosannas. There was this followup to Michael Steele's pre-Hughley performance this weekend from Michelle Bachmann, who proclaimed at CPAC: "You be de man!"
Pop some popcorn, folks. This is gonna have a very high amusement factor.

When all of those folks get together you're bound to get a putrid whiff or two.
Wow...go Steele!
I think this is GREAT! This is hilarious! This is the kind of crap that will be so stupidly funny to watch. And Dave you're right, his ego will make him snap at Steele.
Time to sit back and watch the fireworks.
Any GOP leader who publicly disagrees with Rush has to have a set of brass balls on him. Rush needs to recognize that Steele is...you know...a LEGISLATOR...and Rush is an entertainer (and you know this is true because whenever anyone criticizes him on his accuracy, he says he's just an entertainer).
Also, I dont remember any commentators saying they wanted Bush to fail before any of his ideas were implemented. I remember people saying that he WOULD fail if they were imlemented, that they WERE failing while they were being implemented, and that they DID fail after the results were made clear. But I dont remember a single commentator saying 'I hope he fails.'
Nor do I. No one in their right mind wants any president to fail. It's up to the president whether or not he is seen as a failure by the way he leaves office.
He is the guy who runs the RNC. He has little to do with legislation (perhaps input aforethought). His primary role is fundraising and getting GOOPers elected.
yeah, you tell me how many people the day after 9/11 wanted Bush to fail. The whole bloody world was practically with him and THEN he fucked everything up.
can't listen to either one of them. there just over paid cheerleaders. let them go at it and make fools out of themselves.
This comment is by no means meant to be racist but just proof of the racism in the GOP. Steele was elected as head for one reason. to try and counter Obama's race and to get more of the minority vote...because he is black. They saw the effect of the minority vote this election had and realize they can no longer ignore minorities regardless of how they feel about them. If they could, they would still be treating them like second class citizens and trying their hardest to oppress them.
AS I said this is not mean to be racist but the simply fact is Steele is their "Uncle Tom." He wont be for long if he keeps attacking Rush, the real leader of the GOP.
Oy. Yassah, mizzy Bachmann, ah shoh nuff is da man, ah kin tote dat dere Republican bail for y'all, tug forelock big grin, jesus, these people really don't get it, do they?
Michelle Bachman is a gift that keeps on giving.
You be da man. Jesus H. Christ, can you be any more out of touch.
I'm really starting to love Michelle Bachman. Re-elect her ass, just for the comedy and damage she does to her own party.
Rush said this earlier today in reply ....
"Why do you claim to lead the Republican Party when you seem obsessed with seeing to it President Obama succeeds?" Limbaugh addressed Steele.
It's fun watching the Repugs eat their own.
If Obama succeeds America succeeds. Anyone who doesn't want the country to succeed be it by rhetoric or physical actions is a terrorist. Rush is using rhetoric to bring down this country. Hence Rush=terrorist.
Oh my, I do love it when Rethugs eat their own and they seem to be in a full blown feeding frenzy right now.
That GOP is off the hook. Stuff is wack. And phat. Jiggy, or something.
Let's go smoke some "tea."
Limbaugh is eating his own...and he's got steak sauce!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!
Eating his own? Eating his own foot, you mean!
Yes - these human aberrations LOVE to cannibalize.
Rush has tremendous momentum right now - coming out of his conference. Right now his ego is on a high that has soared so completely outta sight that even their star wars technology doesn't have a chance. They might be able to catch it with Hubble though.
My money's on the obscenely fat blubbery, blubbering idiot.
*
Until, finally, someone among the 'Pugs has the guts to go on Rush's show and bitch-slap him.
Then, just like with Joseph McCarthy, it's all over. The emperor has no clothes...or oxycontin...or...whatever.
He only let's dittoheads get past his screener.
At least with this iteration of our elected officials.
Perhaps when they reach the complete point of implosion, the point where there is no turning back as they go the way of the Whigs, then, perhaps, someone might bitch-slap Rush into nevermore. At that point (which is rapidly approaching, IMHO), there will be no return.
Honestly, I think that the GOP is gone no matter what. They alienated the youth of this country which is a death knell. I think a new party will emerge.
these parasites have no choice but to eat their own.
It is going to be fun, alas I am afraid that their internal conflict is a sign that this country is long gone down the drain... as they seem to no longer be interested in f*cking us up as much as they want to screw each other.
Yes - and that could explain why Michelle Malkin is also upset. She might be thinking she could be next to be publicly dissed - after all - she traffics in the same sewage that Rush does.
*
I guess I'm thinking, let the kids fuss among themselves and use up all their energy so they won't be getting in the way of the adults as the adults go about trying to take care of necessary business.
When was the last time Bachman had a mental exam? I think it's way over due.
That brother is on some strong, eye crossing hypnosis.
he stared into the eyes of the cheney... most people just die. yet it is fitting for a man that can't look people straight in the eyes.
er..I mean conservatives.Respect conservatives.
“I’m not in charge of the Republican Party, and I don’t want to be,” Rush said. “I would be embarrassed to say that I’m in charge of the Republican Party in a sad-sack state that it’s in. If I were chairman of the Republican Party, given the state that it’s in, I would quit"
Rush being a man and taking full responsibility for his over arching all pervasive influence on the GOP.
That woman truly has a gift for connecting with us "coloreds."
... makes me want to vomit.
*
MB totally understands us blacks! After hearing that, I can clearly see that she wants what's best for us. I've been wrong about her all this time...
I think I lost my lunch.
It's delicious to watch a WASP like Michelle Bachmann trying to publicly prove how non-honkie she is to Michael Steele. Really helps his game plan of trying to get the non-inclusive Grand Obstructionist Party to recuit minorities, I'm sure. I'm betting his gut reaction to her "You be da man" was really "Shut The Fuck Up, beeyatch"
They have to eat their own because they are the only ones who could keep something like that down without getting sick. So now Rush want's the president and the head of his party to fail. Yet, he is called the voice and head of the party now?
Like I said this morning, if I were a republican, at this moment I wouldn't admit it.
HUGHLEY: But it is still about the idea that he would rather have an idea fail so his idea can move to the forefront. And that would succeed. And that to me is destructive.
STEELE: How is that any different than what was said about George Bush during his presidency?
HUGHLEY: You’re absolutely — let me say something. You’re absolutely right.
no, he's not. and, never, ever, never tell a cocky rethuglican he is "absolutely right", you might get pregnant.
why is it that i don't necessarily believe that steele and limbaugh are in-fighting?
Limbaugh is going to say that he got to where he is becuase of affirmitve action. Boy is that going to go over like a lead balloon.
why oh why does Rush Limbaugh hate black people!
he's completely wrong.
Bush earned every morsel of the contempt tossed his way.Obama,on the other hand hasn't been given time to prove himself.
BIG difference there fellas.
Absolutely. But their reality is their own. And they're incapable of critical thinking, so they don't see the difference anyway.
*
I had pointed out that it sounded like Steele wanted to interject with a BUT statement before Hughley and Chuck D cut him off.
Well-placed by Hughley, but I have a feeling an escape clause is in place for Steele to put his own spin on it.
there's gonna be about 3 dozen "serious" republican politicians throughout all of American by Q4 2013.
I read about this on Firedoglake earlier today and I still haven't stopped laughing. It's hi-freaking-larious.
There's a difference between de facto and de jure, Michael.
I have never heard anyone refer to themselves a de facto anything?
LMAO!
*
Steele is yelling HE is the HEAD of the Republican Party not Limbaugh. Limbaugh (who hates everybody) is relishing his unofficial status as head of the party.(I mean look how many Republicans are groveling at his feet). And do not forget Eric Cantor trying like hell to backpedal on his anti-Obama statements.
All that is needed now is the official announcement that Joe the Plumber is running for Congress.
he sucked off three GOP Presidents and 4 GOP Congresses to get where he is.
i agree rush is self-loathing/ misanthorpe. sweaty oxycotin dude.
My favorite comment at CNN...
'Look. a talking boil.'
For once, Olberman and Maddow will be "can't miss" entertainment! The Daily Show! The Colbert Report! Yowsah!
Did anyone else notice anything odd about the comments on Malkin's site? Look at comments 9 and 10. Perfect punctuation, spelling and it even made sense.
That is not the profile of our typical Malkin/LGF/Instadun. No, siree.
I think we have suits.
They who would relinquish precious liberty for a little bit of safety, deserve neither. Benjamin Franklin 1759 (may not be the exact quote, edit)
My money is on the fat junkie guy. Micheal Steele's level of denial is astounding...partly for taking that job in the first fucking place. Rush's "show some respect" to Steele is incendiary and telling.
A Republican fight to the political death! Love it!
It's already over.
Steele will be expressing "misgivings" about this small "misunderstanding" within a day or so,because you know,Rush is really a "great guy" and really "intelligent" and er...yeah baby!
"How long till Steele apologizes?"
His ego's big enough to battle this out (and lose), but his following is not, as he's seeing now.
He'll go crawling to Rush - wait and see.
*
Agreed all around. You can't cross Rush and get away with it. The "people" love Rush! I believe the band "Living Color" had a tune called "The Cult of Personality". Very appropriate here.
I'm making popcorn . . . .
*
Finally we know where to invest our money in the market. Buy shares in popcorn companies because they are going to sell a lot of popcorn over the next eight years.
I wonder if Steele will play the race card here?
*
I can see Rush on his show tomorrow discussing Steele being the RNC Chairman, yelling into the mic "It was all about race! It was all about race!"
Ha Ha...touche.
You mean, who can run the fastest from reality??
The possibility of public, Internecine warfare among a bunch of hate-filled, destructive and vapid fuckheads . . . Ooops, I'm starting to pee my pants . . . excuse me.
If there really was a leader in the republican party right now, he or she would step up, bump some heads together and tell the rest of the party to get their heads out of their asses and try to bring the party together again as an intelligent organization instead of continuing to look like the freak show at the circus.
This is the absolute truth. What fun!!
*
This is priceless!
The only thing People are smelling is the stench of their leader now, Lard-Ass LimpDick.
What an idiot!!
Why play into Rush Limbaugh's hands like that??
They deserve each other.....
"STEELE: How is that any different than what was said about George Bush during his presidency?
HUGHLEY: You’re absolutely — let me say something. You’re absolutely right."
What? Nobody wanted Bush to fail, it's just everyone saw his decision making for what it was, devoid of thinking past the first step and completely based on an ideological perception of the world and not reality. Comparing critics of Bush to Limbaugh's and other Republicans hope for Obama to fail in order to advance an ideology is ludicrous.
...motherfucker Dubya to fail. Conservatives make shit up everytime they speak.
Steele is probably taking long slow licks down the crack of Rush's vast, cyst infested ass as we type.
wanted Bush to fail. But he failed by his own actions. He failed while his handlers were pulling the strings. He fucked up and refused to say he fucked up. That's why most of the country, and the world, doesn't like him.
Is the logic being employed here, that Bush failed because we WANTED him to? That's irretrievably stupid on both counts. But with that logic employed, I can see why re-Thugs might imagine they could make Obama fail just by wishing for it.
Mind boggling stupidity. These creatures are incapable of critical thinking.
*
Pathetic - and very stupid - that the Chairman of the RNC, the OFFICIAL head of the Republican party, feels the need to publicly say he is the 'de facto' leader.
Does Obama call himself the 'de facto' President? Of course not.
Steele is an idiot. Almost as much as Limbaugh. These guys couldn't run a life-preserver concession on the deck of the Titanic.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uFJVbdiMgfM
It's priceless.
Oxycoton on steroids! That's Flush, the Great White Dope, challenging his own party's leadership, whose name is: Steele! "Down with cottonheads", that's Flush's rant again! First burn down the leader of the RNC then finish off the GOP in European granduer! Bush put the stake in the GOP's heart with Flush's help. Now they want to "burn the cross on the rest of the RNC". Let 'em have at it. Let's see if Flush is the republican's GREAT WHITE DOPE! I'll bet, in just two rounds, Flush's "little monkey" will have Flush on his syringe and then on his ass.
Howard Kosell
LMAO!!

STEELE: How is that any different than what was said about George Bush during his presidency?
LOONIE: Ooh! Ooh! I know! In the way that people didn't wish for Bush to fail, then Bush and his cabinet failed almost from the get-go, and people wanted him to stop failing, but he ended up just failing in every way imaginable, and some people became very mad about that, and his base used perverse tactics of nationalism, jingoism and authoritarianism to try and scare the people into subjugation and intimidate his critics, and... are you getting all this down?
You cracked me up with the absolute truth.
Thanks!
*
That line about Limbaugh hoping Obama fails is just like criticism of Bush pisses me off. It must be a reference to the invasion of Iraq. I donn't know anyone who ever *hoped* Bush would fail in Iraq, we simply pointed out that he was *going* to fail because the stated goal was idiotic and inherently flawed.
All these right wingers keep saying the always said we wanted Bush to fail. We never said that. I don't remember anyone WANTING Bush to fail. We kept saying that he inevitably would fail due to his assinign foreign policy, economic policy and PNAC rules. It was bound to happen. But we never said we WANTED Bush to fail....big difference.
I was wondering how long it would take before this happened, someone forgot to tell Steele that he was elected as a token and as a token he should know his place and stay there.Now here he is reviling the Republican God (Limbaugh) in a news show...blasphemy... your soul will rot in MSNBC (Rep. hell ) and be tortured on Countdown and Rachel Maddow thru eternity.
"I knew this total intergration shit wouldn't work."
This is SO funny to think about. Probably true.

“Republicans and conservatives are sick and tired of being talked down to, they’re sick and tired of being lectured to,” Rush continued.
Huh? Isn't this how Republicans and conservatives treat everyone else? Besides isn't this how Rush treats his audience on a daily basis?
Talk about the oxycontin calling the vicodine addictive.
...he was droning on how people shouldn't be treated like children, then later talked about acting like a parent by saying, "No!"
Mix your messages much, Rush?
Steele asks how this was any different than the way George Bush was treated.
Well, a few responses:
First, is Michael Steele suggesting that George W. Bush was treated appropriately by his opposition? That's a new one.
Second, there's a difference between left wing commentators, even nutjobs like the Truthers, and the mainstream of the Democratic party.
We all expect the Limbaughs and the Michael Savages of the world to be hip-deep in Obama derangement syndrome. What's twisted here is that the Republican Party, which is supposed to be about, you know, governance, is embracing this point of view.
You show me the footage of Nancy Pelosi begging Keith Olbermann to accept her apology for not acknowledging his leadership of the Democratic party. You show me the mainline Democratic leadership's speeches at a MoveOn.org rally calling for more "truth investigations" of 9/11.
In fact, the Democratic "leadership" voted overwhelmingly to support Bush's lie of an illegal war. They endorsed his agenda. The never filibustered. That's why their base is so pissed off at them.
There's no parity here. The left wingnuts, while numerous, have no or very little influence over the Democratic party.
So, I'm still waiting to be shown the footage of any mainstream leftwing voice hoping out loud that the mission in Iraq would fail. Not even Michael Moore said that stupid shit.
The reality is that Rush poses a significant dilemma for the re-Thug party. He represents everything they seriously need to run from if they actually hope for a viable future as a party. He's vicious, cruel, paranoid, perverted and stupid.
Not that they could actually disown their own identity - they worked diligently for decades to get to where they are today. Not only is it cemented in the public policy that has us dangling off a precipice - but if you listen to the dialogue still coming from them - all around us -- they can't espouse their OLD ideas fast enough.
They're mired in quicksand. They DO actually need to neutralize his power somehow and I doubt they have anyone that's capable of doing this right now - not even Newt (who, as I understand it - is also fighting for the top spot on the re-Thug shit pile.)
*
The Republican Party made this bargain with Limbaugh decades ago, and now they are being forced to dance with the guy that brung them. The next few days will be interesting. If Steele ends up groveling on Rush's show like Gingrey, the Republicans are looking at being a fringe party for some time to come. Not that I have any sympathy for those that Rush is trying to steamroll. They were perfectly happy to have his help as long as it worked for them.
He's their Frankenstein.
*
Their schizoid desire to modernize the repug brand while clinging ever tighter to their crumbling ideology is the stuff that total breakdowns are made of.
This is so true - and I have to tell you - I completely fascinated with this -- the twists and turns it'll take, and how it's going to turn out. The re-Thugs really have my attention riveted. I can't get enough of it - the possibilities of how this will play out are too intriguing.l It'll be bloody.
*
You cracked me up with the absolute truth.
The name for the new bad featuring Rush on vibraspew, Steele on tuba with a groove, Newt on drums, Bubba Arkansas on bass. Ann can come on if they don't go for the all male, "hare band" approach.
Where is the chicken wire protector that can help these folks get to the end of the first chorus. I really enjoy a good scam. Having chicken little and chicken dancing pretend war to generate heat in the corpse they call mommy. Honestly, I am surprised CNN hasn't got a show about it already.
His mother didn't have any kids that lived (from the neck up)!
Perhaps Palin and the plumber dude can step in and straighten this all out before it gets out of hand.
Steele in charge of the repugnacan party!!!??? But..but..but..but he's a...ahh...a....
And remember, whatever they're on about, they're projecting.
They call other people's patriotism into question and then they join militia groups bent on (ha ha) overthrowing the government with an armed insurrection...in time of war.
Limbaugh accuses liberals of being motivated by emotion, and then he emotionally manipulates his audience and actively seeks to foster more "outrage," which is a feeling.
They decry money spent by the government under a rubric of (at least some) oversight and accountability as "socialism" while praising billions of (taxpayer) dollars of no-bid contracts in Iraq as "spreading democracy."
They accuse "libruls" of having unfairly taken over the government by means of an election with a clear majority for the winner who is now implementing the exact policies he campaigned on. Bush, of course, was totally legitimate, having been appointed by the supreme court in an ACTUAL coup (unless "one time only" court decisions are part of our constitution.)
They say the believe in freedom, until anyone actually wants to exercise any.
They believe in states' rights unless the states want to legalize gay marriage or drugs.
They believe in democracy and "country first" unless they lose an election, in which case they must fight the "tyranny of the majority" and focus on winning elections for Republicans (ie party first.)
They decry government jobs programs as "socialism," but praise military service as "vital defense." If the government can't do anything right, why count on them for defense?
So whatever conservatives are complaining about this week, all you have to do is hold up a mirror.
Exactly! They are the party of "religion" until it comes to helping out their fellow man in times like this.
Bachman's comments..more proof that Republicans are goofy MF'ers with no true sense of humor.
“Republicans and conservatives are sick and tired of being talked down to, they’re sick and tired of being lectured to,” quoth the Rush.
It's called "a taste of your own medicine", you pasty fat loser. And I'm not talking about Oxycontin. Or Viagra. Or whatever other chemical you shovel down your gaping maw to stop your own conscience wanting to choke itself to death.
Rush Limbaugh to dems after the 2000 election.

My unit is redeploying now, we just finished 15 months in Iraq and I am currently writting this on my laptop in the airport in Ireland.
I just wantet to tell someone, anyone how great it is to be in Ireland.
On topic...
I am interested in seeing where this goes, fat boy usually does not like being challenged about anything.
Well, Ireland's pretty good too!
Please try to take care of yourself. We'll all be thinking of you. Ireland is the only place outside the US that I have always wanted to visit.
Oops, I read your comment in a hurry and fired off a comment too quick. But still, no matter where you are or where you're going, take care.
I hear you watchdog, and understand wanting to tell someone, anyone. I'm happy you are in Ireland!!! Soon you'll be home. Home sweet home (warts and all.)
Ireland is so pretty - my daughter was there last summer for her music. She plays cello in a traditional Irish Music band. She loved being there. It must be fun just to hear all the accents around you as you wait.
Wishing all the best in the world for you. Keep in touch with us if you can.
*
I hope all is well with you and your company.
I hope you don't have to go back.
If you have a chance while in Ireland be sure to visit the Guinness Brewery in Dublin. Best beer in the world. I'm not sure I'd call it a beer though. More like a meal.
At any rate, Thank You for sending us that little note. We all hope you come home soon. Be safe and be healthy.
Ger.
Can you imagine Dr. Dean taking this kind of shit from a radio talk show host? Dean would have told him to STFU and that would have been that.
The chairman's a nih!
He said the chairman is near!
LMAO!!

This is wonderful to watch. They are in such discord they'll spend all their money and energy fighting each other.
PS I feel sorry for you (brothers and sisters). How can you go abroad and hold your heads up? The whole world can see this. How shameful. Makes America look like a bunch of juvenile schoolyard bullies.
Which ever one is the head of the party, they're both the other end as far as I'm concerned. But there is one way to settle this dispute now that Scalia has guaranteed them the 2nd amendment right to side arms...
How about a debate between Steele and Rush? Let them work it out that way.
And I mean from the top. Hahahahahahahaha!
Bare knuckle boxing. No. A cage match.
Think any of these assholes will talk about fight club?
Oh noz! I do not want to see Rush at any time but most especially I do not want to see him naked from the waist up. I don't want to even think about seeing him from the waist down.
Republican style. Normally I'm not a voyeur but I believe I will enjoy watching this. Do you think someone should tell them that "eating each other" is a figure of speech.
oops, I mean adversary. Or did I? He doesn't have much meat on his bones and Rush does need his calories. Well, as Michelle Bachmann might say, "Michael Steele, you be da chirren's plate."
probably not....since they're 'trying' to 'reach out' to the 'hip hop' crowd....
I can just see it now...
Limbaugh rapping...
Is this possible? Republicans going after Limbaugh? I never felt to warm and fuzzy like this before. What a happy day.
I think there has only ever been one republic who could cut Limpballs tree-trunk like legs out from under him successfully. That would be Ronald Reagan - but he's gone. Limpballs OWNS the re-Thuglic party.
*
This is sort of a Godzilla meets Frankenstein moment. Who cares who wins? It's hard to root for or against either one of them, since that are both awful.
You really should post the clip where Mr. Steele implied that Chuck D was from the ghetto, and Chuck D said, "Uh, no, I'm from Long Island."
http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0309/195...
Steele is officially done. Apologizing to that turd makes him the weakling. He might as well start dancing and shining shoes.
The Dems can rest now. Steele just made Rush the face of the Thuglies.
Is this article real? Can they really be that afraid of Limbaugh? If this article is true the American people should really fear the Republican party for supporting a terrorist who wants the country to fail.
was Mr. Negro in the clip?
Good Lord!
STEELE APPLOGIZES!
Steele to Limbaugh in essence -- "Rush - YOU be "de man!!"
*
If I was the leader of this party I'd resign too. What a bunch of wimps. Party of NO my ass, "Party of Pussies".
As if the Democrats have big balls.
They are all owned.
Obama has a huge set but I'd love to see how he's going to get the corporate lobbyist motherfuckers to fall in line and they own the whole song and dance.
I'll bet we are at war with Iran during his Presidency.
and proved it today after hearing his masters voice
that party is a joke
Hey, a little credit where credit is due. Our president wants to work with Republicans in congress, but you gotta argue with someone. And if your clever enough to be able to choose your own enemy, who better than the people that make their money screaming nonsense? The White House has be pointing the finger at cable news for weeks now, hoping that someone would pick it up. Rahm's thing about Limbaugh this weekend was brilliant. They've elevated Limbaugh and gotten him into a slapfight with the new RNC Chair. I love watching these guys work. Go Rush!
I personally like how Rush cited Capitalism ahead of freedom, during his speech to CPAC, as a fundamental American value.
How fucking embarrassing.
I can just see the death threats hitting him in the face from the GOP hitmen the second he walked off the set.
I smelled...(SNIFF, SNIFF!) PUSSY!!
Okay, so Limbaugh is an entertainer. Tell me something I don't know.
What kind of party gives an "entertainer" give the keynote address like this?
The Dems may let Streisand or Clooney introduce the keynote speaker but the speakers themselves are actual policy makers.
Just remember that all talk radio is based on the 50/50 rule. 50% listen because they love him, 50% listen because they hate him. So even though Rush's full listenership wouldn't be enough to swing an election, only half of them will vote Republican anyway.
Flush and Steele in a fued...............BFD!
Flush will only attack Steele from the safty of his radio comedy show.
I don't recall ever seeing Lardballs actually ever debate anyone with an opposing opinion in public.
Newsflash.....Update.
Steele bends over and apologizes to Flush....film at eleven!
The pussification of the Republican party continues!
Feud, what feud?The feud is over because yesterday,March 2nd, Steele sucked Rush's dick and now everybody's friends again!Hey Mike, if you have to apologize to pig-boy in the future,Rush may demand more than a blow-job!He might want a hunk of your chocolate ASS!
Get a black man as head of your party, who says he wants to make it accessible to the hip-hop community, and what do you make him do in the first few weeks of his tenure? Make him publicly kiss Massa's ass.
Republicans: The only people who could fuck up a four-day weekend.
