Limbaugh's Latest Outrage: Obama Is Doing A Better Job of Destroying America Than Al Qaeda
By Susie Madrak Friday Jun 05, 2009 8:00amLast night on his Psycho Talk segment, Ed Schultz brought out this latest outrage from "the Drugster," Rush Limbaugh, and says what needs to be said:
"This is pretty serious, I think. This is pure hate speech. It's a comment that makes Limbaugh an ally of Osama bin Laden. Here's the quote: 'If Al-Qaeda wants to demolish the America we know and love, they'd better hurry because Obama is beating them to it.'
"In one statement, Rush Limbaugh aligns President Obama with a terrorist group, people who want to take this country down.
"Now I want everybody to recognize the seriousness of this kind of talk and what Rush is actually saying here. You know, I've been trying to think all day about this. I think this is the first time in history that someone with this big a platform and audience, speaking so broadly like this about a president of the United States, he says Obama is doing a better job of demolishing America than a terrorist group, Al-Qaeda?
"I mean, this goes far beyond advocating any policy. I think this is a slam on our military personnel, or anyone wearing the uniform for America today. There are liberals and conservatives serving this country in Iraq and Afghanistan, people in this country that have given their lives to make sure this president succeeds. You think people in uniform today want to see President Obama fail?
"This type of speech ruins and taints America. This is not the United States we know, and Rush Limbaugh goes unchallenged, unfortunately. I didn't hear anybody in the Congress nailing the Drugster today. I mean, there is freedom of speech but you know, that comes with a responsibility.
"I think this is dangerous rhetoric, and I just can't wrap my head around the fact that there's a guy out there who would sell his soul - with all the success that he's had, he would sell his soul - to get some attention in this country, to get quoted.
"Rush Limbaugh, you are un-American, you are anti-American. You do not love this country and you are rooting against America. You've always hated liberals, and it's a sad, sad thing. You are one twisted sister, buddy. That's psycho talk."
Keith Olbermann also featured a segment on this outrage.

stirring up more violence
Maybe it's time to get much .louder about the sociopaths in our media.The lies and propaganda is getting dangerous

That's one creepy video. Love Max Blumenthau, but those idiots he interviewed?
a village is waiting for their idiot to start showing up on milk cartons.
Is that you, rush.
Ever been there? The intellectuals are on the cartons. The village is at the strip mall/strip joint/strip steakhouse.
I think those Israelis dissing Obama need to be reminded about the billions of dollars in support money Israel has received from the US over the years, and still continue to receive.
for pointing that out.
It's not that we hate the right...it's just that we feel alot better when y'all are in the minority.
Which is right now as matter of fact...
How's that workin out for ya?
23%'ers.
Pa-FUCKIN-thetic.
by the ultra far right then hate them to me.
yet, i would fight for his right to say them
he can make himself as shrill, as extreme, as fascist as he wants to be--but as long as he is just giving his opinion i don't see the problem.
ed is right, it is psycho talk, but the constitution allows us to talk psycho.
Or is it commerce? Does he really feel this way or is it his paycheck for the moment? I believe that if his "hate" speech started losing his employer money, the tune would change and Rushie would turn on a dime.
Its not freedom of speech....its cash.
giving him one a venue to spew BS is not the same as freedom of speech, i 100% agree with that. and if EIB decided to axe him, or if his sponsors pulled out, etc, then i would be one happy camper.
my point was that, yes, he says vile, inaccurate bullshit, but he is allowed to say vile, inaccurate bullshit.
in other words, commercially he could be shut down, but--for the above statement--not legally.
The inaccurate bullshit part starts striding into libel territory. How Limbba the Hutt hasn't been sued into oblivion is beyond me.
If I was a public figure and minute he said something inaccurate about me, I'd sue him, I'd sue his station, I'd sue the station owners, and I would try my damned hardest to get an injunction of that slimy piece of worm ridden filth from ever airing his oral diarrhea ever again. Yes speech is protected, but defamation is not, and that is all that ever comes out of this bloated sack of dung's cavernous mouth.
it is a very fine line he walks. and i imagine his legal fees are on par with his oxycontin budget
it is a very valid point to bring up: when does political discourse (or, in this case, psycho-talk) cross the line into slander/libel?
for instance: if, say, frank rich (NYT) wrote an oped (not that he would, just using him for example's sake) likening the bush administration to nazi germany. many might agree, but would that be crossing the line, and treading into libel? or, really, any like analogy you could think of.
Actually there are strong parallels between GWB and Adolph Hitler. Hitler used the burning of the Reichstag as an excuse to gain more power. Bush used the burning of the WTC to gain more power via the Orwellian named USA Patriot act. Hitler made demands of Poland he was sure they would refuse in order to have an excuse to invade. They acquiesced but he invaded anyway. Bush did the same to Iraq.
I worry that we compare GWB to the wrong overdressed German leader. I wonder if Bush's historical metaphorical parallel is not Hitler, but the Kaiser, a prelude to something worse down the line, and that Obama is the true dawn of a new era, or the first leader of Weimar America. For Obama's and your sake, I hope it's the former.
I've drawn parallels between Jr and Kaiser Willhelm many times myself. Willhelm II was a petty, petulent man-child who always had to have his own way no mater what, He once yelled at his admirals "All of you know nothing; I alone know something; I alone DECIDE." His father the first German Kaiser Friedrich III said of him "Considering the unripeness and inexperience of my eldest son, together with his leaning toward vanity and presumption. and his overweening estimate of himself, I must frankly express my opinion that it is dangerous as yet to bring him in touch with foreign affairs." Even Theodore Roosevelt who has been refered to as a bit of a man-child (in an endering fashion though) found the Kaiser a spoiled little monarch.
The Kaiser liked to dress up in military uniforms and play soldier, his demand that the German navy equal that of Britans caused the first great arms race of the 20th century as the British considered him a threat to their empire and yet Willhelm couldnt understand why they found him a threat.
It all sounds familiar but with all the similarities, Kaiser Willhelm did have a bit of an excuse. When he was born the doctor used forceps and wound up dislocating his left arm it withered and was useless for the rest of his life, he was always self-concious about it and constantly overcompensated to prove his manliness and to not look weak, Bush is just petty for no good reason.
The line is generally drawn when someone prints of broadcasts false materials and they know it's false. I'm sure Limbba the Hutt is well aware of when he's broadcasting a lie.
The only real issue is proving it.
Rush doesn't give a shit about anything but Rush. Do you really think that fat fuck cares one way or the other about abortion? No. You are correct, it's commerce.
Seems to me when liberals disagree with conservatives, we get herded into 'free speech zones' and called traitors, accused of supporting terrorists.
Why is Limbaugh rewarded with a $400 million contract for this kind of behavior?
two wrongs don't make a right.
i think that rush's vile screed hurts the "conservative" movement more than it helps it.
When I hear the 'he has a right to say it,' it's usually accompanied by a plate full of do-nothing, say-nothing. When the conservatives respect my free speech the way they expect me to respect Rush's blathering, then we'll talk.
Rush's vile screed DEFINES the conservative movement. That's their problem - they wanted a charismatic figure who could distill conservatism into bite-sized chunks so that even a dunderhead could understand it ... and now, they've got a party full of dunderheads.
don't hold your breath that that will ever happen
but, i like to think that is what makes the left that much better than the right: we can handle the idiot-speak, and not try to shut it down.
a left-leaning sedition act would not be in our interests
... that the left can handle idiot-speak and refrain from shutting it down, but that we understand there's a fine line to be walked, and make the effort to do so.
Why is Limbaugh rewarded with a $400 million contract for this kind of behavior?
Because his product sells. It will always sell. People hate, the
more uneducated and abused they are the more they hate. The
ultimate irony is that the people most affected by the economic
downturn are his most ardent supporters.
Why do you bother? Irony is not something they understand.
No, they surely don't...they just have that blank, vacuous look in their beady little eyes when confronted with irony.
So was... FIRE!
.
?
since you wrote so much, eh? hee hee
you seemed to be saying that rush's speech is like yelling fire in a crowded theater (or however the saying goes), and i think that is as inaccurate comparison. hence me saying 'bad analogy'
yes, rush says inflammatory (and fucking stupid) things all. the. time. but--in regards to the above quote from rush--his statements don't rise to the public-danger-status of yelling "fire". and, if the govt tried to silence him for saying "If Al-Qaeda wants to demolish the America we know and love, they'd better hurry because Obama is beating them to it", i think we would take a further step down the totalitarian-road.
not only do i think that that would be constitutional (for the govt to silence rush), i also think it would be politically risky--as it could be spun as justification for rush's anti-obama rants.
i happen to agree with keith olbermann most of the time, but some of his 'special comments' about bush were equally inflammatory
"in regards to the above quote from rush--his statements don't rise to the public-danger-status of yelling "fire"."
I respectfully disagree. I myself, would equate his rhetoric with that of Dr. Tiller's opponents.
In any case... Have a fine weekend :-)
you have a nice weekend too
about bush were sure as shit inflammatory...but they were factual...limbaughs...not so much.
In a free society you can say what you up to a point...
He's saying something that should be challenged and he may have a right but there but there are also consequences to saying dumb stuff.
indeed i think there should be consequences.
i wrote ealier that i think that commercial consequences, and employment consequences are well-deserved. its just when the talk strays into questions of illegality where i have an issue.
it is a slippery slope, a fine line, ________ (insert other cliches here)
and we have the right to elect those whose espouse our point of view, thereby making Rush, Sean, Beck et al increasingly irrelevant and just plain fun to watch. Sit back and enjoy the show.
all of the Fox news hosts, Rush and the rest of the neocon fascist corporatists are not just unamerican but they hate America and Democracy.
That's a given, but, if at all possible under current law, clear channel or whoever the hell is responsible for flush should be fined as heavily as possible. Ditto for the lunatic-fringe likes of billo, becko, inshannity and the rest of these whack jobs who keep spewing this psychotic slop that puts their dimwitted dittohead audience on the warpath to gun down doctors in church.
Taking flush or any of these loons off the air through termination or suspension just makes them martyrs in scum vote eyes.
Besides, it's all about the benjamins to clear channel, fixed news and the rest, so hit them where it hurts as much as possible.
They can't be allowed to continue to rile up the timothy mcveigh wing of the gops.
Put a price tag on it.
They also hate The Constitution, civil liberties, and the American system of justice. They believe people arrested for terrorism are automatically guilty and have no rights.
this is a variation of the same theme. shift the blame to obama from the BUSH legacy. in addition to that
strategy by extreme right wing talking heads they can't handle the fact that obama will consider/approach DIPLOMACY over using a superiority heiarchy/preconditions in the middle east. i listened to that speech it was a sharp contrast from BUSH/administration. it was a speech of respect and
humanitarian empathy. the talking heads are trying very hard to establish an identity for the extreme tea bagger types. they know their demographics where some would rather shot/bomb and ask questions later. the right can't handle the fact(s) they are being exposed. they want to sweep BUSH under the rug better yet blame everything on obama like they did with clinton.
You nailed it. All the damage done by Bush is getting blamed on Obama. Unfortunately for Obama, the pain is really being felt now and is going to get worse. And these screechers are going to keep screeching that it's Obama's fault until people believe it.
I already know people who do believe it. It's infuriating.
have neither enlisted nor run for office. Their self-proclaimed patriotism ends at their lips.
If only that were true and they were content to merely milk the morons for their millions, it'd be one thing, but they're not.
As Doctor Triller's murder makes abundantly clear, they get people maimed or killed while the sclm pretends that they're advocates for a legitimate POV.
If you mean 'state controlled liberal media,' how is it that there are no liberals being carried about on their shoulders? Why is it Rush, Newt, Cheney, Hannity, Beck, Malkin polluting the airwaves?
And how can 'state controlled' be associated with liberal?
stands for "So Called Liberal Media"
would just ignore these nuts, what would happen?
8 years of Bush/Cheney.
Just my guess
In Germany they first came for the Communists,
and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Communist.
Then they came for the Jews,
and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Jew.
Then they came for the trade unionists,
and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Catholics,
and I didn't speak up because I was a Protestant.
Then they came for me —
and by that time no one was left to speak up.
Why are all Reslugs so full of hatred for our country and always wish harm from terrorists to destroy the USA.
They hate working people and love money. War is very profitable for
them. they get the added bonus of getting poor people killed.
Their kids aren't fighting. Their kids are at Ivy League schools
learning the trade of exploitation and greed.
An easy way to kill n_____s is to put them in unifrom and ship the to
Iraq.
And a nice grave plot and a flag,Probably made in China
'Oh, Rush' one could say, 'we are concerned for your immortal soul. We do oppose your stated views (who knows what you really think!), but in the spirit of Christian fellowship we instead send you a call to moderation. We understand that, like all sinners, you are flawed, and need guidance. Become a true Christian, and eschew the divisionist rhetoric that you espouse on your multiple media outlets'. Do you think we could smother him with concern. Up the trolls!
Christian alert!!!!!! *siren sound*
Hey man, if you believe in that mythology, I got some swamp land in Arizona for sale!!
Rush, your an addict, but obviously not in recovery. People truly
in recovery don't talk like that. It is destroying your "serenity".
That speech was historic!! It gives me hope, which I haven't had in
a log long long long time.
Rush, keep talking, please. You will accomplish two things.
1. You will drive more people over to our side.
2. You will drive yourself into a relapse that, if we are lucky,
will get you locked up.
Rush, you are sick, you need help. Let go of the pain and anguish
you feel. Drop it like a heavy suitcase. You need an intervention, but it seems you drive everyone that is close to you away. How many divorces? This will not end well for you.
"I mean, this goes far beyond advocating any policy. I think this is a slam on our military personnel, or anyone wearing the uniform for America today."
You are also a chickenhawk... unsuited to talking about people in
uniform.
Limbaugh never says how or why (about anything). It's always name calling or accusations. That's what makes this hate speech. Last I checked the economy is showing signs of recovery, people in the world are starting to respect us again. If he wants to use GM and Chrysler Bankruptcy as an example he can't. It was his rich buddy CEO's who drove these companies into the ground. Limbaugh cares about Limbaugh and paying 4% more in taxes and that is it. He doesn't care about abortion, gun rights, the constitution. His big fat wallet and that is all.
He keeps whining about the Fairness Doctrine. He says he truly believes Obama is going to take over the airwaves. Which is so twisted. He knows this is something that won't happen yet in order to keep his base ginned up he goes where clear channel let's him.....I'm also tired of this narrative they're trying to create about 'free speech' Is Inciting anger and paranoia and playing to fear free speech? I think not...it's pathological
What happened to all the BS when Bush was in office about saying things against the president, etc.?
"I mean, this goes far beyond advocating any policy. I think this is a slam on our military personnel, or anyone wearing the uniform for America today."
Hmmmm "insulting the president = insulting the troops" - I kinda feel weird hearing a lefty using what was right wing rhetoric just a few months ago. I mean, Limbaugh is a total cock and he's off his rocker, but... there are better ways to point it out than saying cuckoo stuff back (much less recycled republican bs)
Butt...butt...butt...Hitler, the booshes and the Ben Ladens were all best buds.
Another glaring example of the disconnect. They’ve gone over the edge and there is no longer any hope for them. It’s time we start treating them like the fringe elements that they have become.
My latest unpublished screed by the Dallas Morning News:
The reintroduction of the Fairness Doctrine to American broadcasts is essential. This doctrine was introduced in 1949, at first for radio and then to television, until the 1980's, and served American interests well in furthering the marketplace of ideas in what is, after all, the public airwaves. Public figures on all sides now deplore the public’s lack of education on the issues, and the Balkanization of American ideology in general, due in part to broadcast media undercutting and abandoning the concept of ensuring controversial issues be covered on air, and covered fairly. Cable was not included since it was considered the alternative.
Perhaps new regulations and/or legislation would include cable since we have the internet now as an alternative, unless of course there's an attempt to centralize the internet, as traditional media has been concentrated into only six corporate hands.
I am waiting for some republican elected official to come out and say SHUT UP RUSH. When is it going to happen? Rush is trying to get Obama killed with this type of rhetoric. He's hoping some deranged listener will take the next logical step. If Obama is destroying the country, is in league with the terrorists, then he must be "stopped". That's what Rush is hoping for, he's not trying to hide it. Where are the decent republicans at? When will they stand up and say enough Rush?
When will they stand up and say enough Rush?
Never.

Just more red meat for the fringe kooks, which they have come to love and expect and Limbaugh always obliges. The whack-jobs must be putting on the pounds.
He is an irrelevant, drug addled pig. Just ignore him and he'll have only the 20 percenters as a following and he will go away. Truly, he is over, done, just ignore him.
I've pretty much ignored him since he bobbed up to the top of the septic tank in the 1980's.
Look what that's gotten us.
Ruck Fush along with the other professional provocateurs and their inbred listeners.
“Haw Haw Haw! Did you hear what Rush said today! He’s really got them libruls steamed!” said the hillbilly as he touched himself inappropriately.
Yea, Rush must be right. How can millions of morons be wrong.
Limbaugh and his dittohead followers who can't take a shit without listening to him first have done more to ruin this country than Obama ever will. Keith made a great point last night about how he doesn't even talk about policy at all. It's just attack, attack, attack.
Well, you know, what else do you expect from this fat shrieking bellicose halfwit by now?
... Rush goes down in flames like the racist hate-mongering pimple he is, and sucks the likes of Hannity, Beck, Malkin, Coulter, Praeger, Steve King, Tom Tancredo, Virgil Goode, every GOP politician who has ever kissed Fatboy's arse into hell with him.
quad kegger at my house!
for saying on national teevee, what myself and others have been saying online for years.

I don't have anything to add!
Why would anybody get upset over what that fat bag of crap has to say. The only reason he says what he says is for RATINGS/LISTENERS. i.e MONEY Best way to deal with Rushbo is to ignore him. Here in Missouri we know he is a fat bag of crap from the part of the state where we manufacture fat bags of crap, preachers, and meth.
I thought gay marriage trumped al qaeda.
let's see.... hmmm, ol' Rushbo was one of Dubya's biggot, I mean biggest cheerleaders as I recall. Now, who was it that really screwed this nation?
Dubya, Cheney and company.
Thank you Rush. You're doing a great job there.
Yeah, right!!
than to be the "Limbaugh of the Left?"
not realizing that the reason there's no "limbaugh" of the left is that the folks on the left think for themselves, and don't wanna imbibe talking points...
it may be that ed's heart has found a new nest on the left, but he's still dumb as a fuckin' stump,,,
Color me unimpressed...
when he first started doing the town hall meetings. I don't always agree with him but I know that he is on the side of the working class, unions and universal health care. If he was everything we want him to be, he wouldn't be where he's at.
... you've got a good point there, Woody.
Being liberal doesn't mean we're immune from the same character flaws that drive Limbaugh. It doesn't mean we can't fall prey to slick-talking swindlers, religious fervor, or become tyrants given free reign.
Excellent point. We should hold ourselves to a higher standard. It's easy to feel comfy and smug in the majority but we shouldn't get lazy about our standards.
I swear everytime I see your nom de guerre it says goldfish swearing.
That would explain the bubbles around their mouths.
Everytime I see yours I think of a town in Germany.
I do that too sometimes.
;p

there was a detachment of my unit stationed there in the 60s...
i asked about once and got evaded...
limbaugh is trying to do for Obama what o'reilly did for Dr. Tiller.
.
what he's doing.
Limbaugh's America IS Al-Queda's America. Obama is a threat to that.
I read a million times when Bush was president (though usually by anonymous blog commenters) that Bush was doing what al Qaeda never could, destroying the country. If you really believe (not that I think Limbaugh believes in anything but the almighty dollar) that Obama's policies are wrong, then the statement becomes uncontroversial.
I think Rush is strung out on drugs again- His weight has skyrockted, his completcion is awful, he's paranoid, he has a nervous tick of picking at his shirt every 5 seconds, and rocks back and forth..
Either that, or he has mental illness..
I have no trouble believing he's back on the pills and is mentally ill. I read an interesting piece somewhere (don't remember where) suggesting that he doesn't really believe anything he says, and the drugs helped him cope with his unhappiness.
That's so very sad...
ok...not really.
Couldn't happen to a better POS.
I get the sentiment, but I wouldn't wish that on anybody. I'd rather see the bloated tick clean himself up, check his rapidly slipping sanity, and come correct. If we have to share space with him, I'd rather he reclaim what is left of his humanity and find some joy in his life, then maybe he'd the rest of us alone.
and I wish that SOB the worst.
I really don't have quite enough sympathy for the Big Anal Cyst (witness my reflexive insults) to stick up for him on this point. I bleed for his humanity, but yeah, at the end of the day he is still a mean, warped bully who really would only understand a good kick in the seat of his pants.
hehehehe.

As usual, Rethuglicans accuse others of crimes they themselves commit. I've always felt that there is an irrefutable case that Bush and cronies have done more to damage the USA than any outside enemy.
If only our armed forces leadership had stayed true to their vow to protect the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic, we might be in an entirely different situation at the moment.

that we've figured them out.
They're still clinging to their failed strategies.
And I LOVE IT!
This guy Limbaugh is nuts. No wonder the Republican Party is in the gutter right now.
The Republicans need to muzzle Limbaugh, Cheney, Gingrich and that axis of evil neo-con David Frum, if they want to have a crack at coming back politically.
I think the fat jokes really got to him. He once attributed his weight loss to the help of a personal chef. Does oxy abuse result in weight loss? Do you get fat when you stop? I need to understand his weaknesses.
...most of his weird health problems stemmed from his oxy abuse those few years ago.
By the way, in your search to understand his weaknesses better, be sure not to stare into the abyss too long.
Oh but I think fat jokes are Rusty's achilles heel.
it was, and was bouncing as the crowd chanted his name...I swear he looked like he was jacked up out of his gourd on coke.
I think that's why he's losing the weight.
Never trust a sweaty white dude dressed all in black. I'm just sayin'.
Egad, probably the most unexpectedly funny lines from The Sopranos, when Meadow was screaming about, "Some guy in see-through socks," killing Jackie Jr.
I was like, "Oh geez! Yeah, I guess those socks might be seen as part of the uniform for Hollywood mafia caricatures."
y'all are funnier'n hell.
Al Qaeda is destroying America?
Al Qaeda ordered the unconstitutional wiretapping of Americans?
Al Qaeda lied us into illegally attacking Iraq and claimed Iraq was responsible for 911?
Al Qaeda insisted that GW Bush had unitary executive powers?
Al Qaeda was the cause of Dr. Tiller's murder?
And Obama's doing more to destroy America than Al Qaeda?
Believe me, I didn't know that. And neither do any other rational Americans.
Beneath the flippant warning to Al-Qaeda to hurry up and destroy America lies an obvious desire on Limbaugh's part for another attack.
He would love to see America hit on Obama's watch,and he's definitely not alone.It is absolutely inconceivable to me that a Liberal --like Mike Moore for example--could get away with anything approaching the traitorous import of this statement without everyone,including the media,the frothing right and most Dems from jumping all over him.
Just calling General Petraeus "Betrayaeus" sent them all into a baying,sanctimonious,overwrought and hand wringing media blood letting that lasted for eons.
Limbaugh however,seems able to stoop as low as his fat gut will allow without consequence.Um,Why is that?
Good Job Ed.

Say any outrageous statement you can think up to keep your worthless, warthog puss in the news.
This bloated sack of shit needs to just needs to vanish from the radar. Not suggesting anything malicious.....just tune him off.
When comparing bush to hitler is the fact that bush's granddad Prescott Bush was Hitler's American banker and had his assets frozen under the trading with the enemy act.
After eight years of George W. Bush and drugbuts psychotic conservative hero Cheney, there isn't anything left of America to destroy.
Rush Limbaugh quite literally HATES the American people. He only cares about the gazillionaire bastards who pay his outrageous salary, so that he can get his audience of idiots to vote for their own economic suicide - thus transfering all of their wealth to the richest of the super rich.
He very well may be the most useless, dispicable bag-of-shit, to ever inhabit our fair shores.
Limpballs is the poster child for 94% marginal tax rates.
Yes there are liberals who have fought and are fighting for our country. My father and brother are two of them. My father was a decorated combat veteran of WWII and was part of the D-Day invasion. My brother was a decorated combat veteran of Vietnam in '67-'68. Conservatives always want us to believe that only conservatives have been part of the fighting forces. I'll take my liberal family over any conservative, chicken hawk, draft dodging wimp like Limbaugh, O'Rielly and the many the Bush cabal.
“'If Al-Qaeda wants to demolish the America we know and love, they'd better hurry because Obama is beating them to it.'”
That is a pretty interesting quote, but it should be given a little analysis. Bin Laden said to attack the economy of the United States. The financial fiasco caused by deregulation, and white collar crime has created a result beyond Bin Laden's wildest expectations.
Meanwhile, perhaps Obama is stemming the slide in the economy a bit, whereas, the Hoover approach advocated by the Republicans drove Spector from the party.
The reason why Al-Qaeda can even think of demolishing America is because we didn't finish what we started. Specifically, the Republicans can not only be charged with the costs of Iraq, but also the costs of Afghanistan. I believe we could have finished the job and been out of Afghanistan a long time ago if the focus hadn't shifted to Iraq.
I think Bin Laden knows that. A dumbbell would say, don't engage in dialog with the Muslim world, and leave all the dialog to Bin Laden. That's the Rush/Bush/Cheney approach. I think right now a lot more of the Muslim world is ignoring Bin Laden because Obama is president and is engaging in dialog with the Muslim world.
With Pakistan in the Swat valley, hiding places for Bin Laden are probably getting harder to find. We gotta make sure that they don't fall back behind Tora Bora. We have a much better commander-in-chief than we would have gotten with the Republicans.
I'm amazed that these Republicans have gotten so much mileage on the doom and gloom - this is your father talking, strident approach, the sky is falling, that has been the Lyndon LaRouche hallmark.
"This is pretty serious, I think. This is pure hate speech. It's a comment that makes Limbaugh an ally of Osama bin Laden. Here's the quote: 'If Al-Qaeda wants to demolish the America we know and love, they'd better hurry because Obama is beating them to it.'
"In one statement, Rush Limbaugh aligns President Obama with a terrorist group, people who want to take this country down."
I'd say that's the exact same, "pure hate-speech". I guess it's OK when it's Progressive Hate Speech, though. You people are no different than the right-wingers you claim superiority over. I'm no fan of Limbaugh, but I'm certainly no fan of your ilk, either.
