Speaking to Fox News Channel’s Sean Hannity Wednesday night, Rush Limbaugh repeated his desire for President Barack Obama to fail.
HANNITY: Last time I’m here, I ask you…do you want [Obama] to succeed. You gave a very long answer that got reduced to Rush wants Obama to fail. Which wasn’t what you said.
LIMBAUGH: Well, in a sense it was. It was. I don’t hide from it, I do want and I still want Obama to fail.
As Huffington Post points out, “Limbaugh claimed that Obama was doing such a good job of destroying the country that: ‘If al-Qaeda wants to demolish the America we know and love, they better hurry, because Obama is beating them to it.’”
“Limbaugh prefaced those remarks by saying that he had thought carefully about that statement in anticipation of his interview with Hannity,” the Huffington Post article adds.

Obviously, the go to desperation tactic for today’s floundering Republican propagandists is to blame President Obama for everything that George W. Bush was directly responsible for. It’s only a matter of time before Rush, Billo, Sean and Glenn will be blaming President Obama for the negligence of not preventing the 9/11 attacks, the disastrous Iraq invasion/occupation and the thousands of lives and trillion dollars wasted there, the unconscionable authorization of torture, the dismal failure to capture Osama bin Laden, the irresponsible and incompetent handling of the Katrina aftermath and the politically vengeful outing of Valerie Plame.
The ethical and moral corruptions of today’s GOP knows no bounds, and the four horsemen of the GOP’s apocalypse are of Limbaugh, O’Reilly, Hannity and Beck.
A divisive, lone madman who would sacrifice his country for his ego.
“A divisive, lone madman who would sacrifice his country for his ego.”
You couldn’t have summed it better.
The Republicans are no longer a political party. They are now a force bent on obstructing progress and destroying the country. They hate it because it is not to their liking. They feel there are too many social programs, too many minorities, unnecessary taxes on the wealthy and too many regulations on the “free market”, too much freedom for the lower classes, not enough law enforcement and courts that are too lenient, not enough religion to keep the masses under control, not enough support for our military to effectively rule the world and remove and torture those that disagree with us, and not enough control of the media so that their message is the only one heard.
One only needs to observe a few of their “leaders” like Palin or Limbaugh to see that the shallow, anti-intellectual, emotion-laden reasons for their positions are calculated to inflame hatred and distrust and never to educate. Contempt is used for ideas not part of their approved positions. Never has there been such an assault on progress, honest debate and civility coupled with a corresponding acquiescence of a large element of the citizenry. This has occurred primarily due to their successful control of the media and the indifference of Americans.
Those who support this movement are severely undermining the country. There can be honest debate on what our country needs. The Democrats do not have all the answers but neither should they be demonized as they have been and are now.
If this subversion is not eradicated we will have more rending of the fabric of the country until it becomes unrecognizable. The financial meltdown provides overwhelming evidence of the result of our negligence. This is the outcome when ideology and greed rule and objective analysis and simple disagreement are considered unpatriotic.
Rush is the Tokyo Rose of America.
Acid Rush Limpballs, the consummate, colossal shithead of the century! Those who listen to him deserve what they get. This narrow bastard appears to have lost all human reason. Certainly no one, even a dittoshithead can now take him seriously….please cease coverage of this bastard fool.
A tale told by an idiot,
full of sound and fury
signifying nothing.
The Bard.
What a maroon!.

THEY(sic) HATE US FOR OUR FREEDOMS, OUR WAY OF LIFE…
… And so THEY(sic) have lobbied, debated and legislated away our foundational freedoms and altered our way of life.

It would appear the Conservatives & their mouthpiece have a dim view of their efforts. Hey Conservatives, not that your RONNIE ‘got the Government off our backs’ (Reagan 1981) is it still MORNING IN AMERICA ?
.
Now watch the Conservatives spin denials & ‘thumbs downs’ of the reality the are responsible for. OH YES YOU ARE…..AND IT IS JUST THAT SIMPLE
that’s ‘NOW that your ronnie’
Pardon typos
Ahhh Rush Limbaugh, that pesky turd that just won’t flush.
There’s a damn good reason why I don’t listen to Limpdick & Couter. Why should I/we be subjected to their Hog shit on a “Progressive”. PLEASE stop posting these two assholes and giving credence and “air time” to their
insane hate-mongering!!!
If some far right loon takes a pot-shot at the President or Pelosi..or etc., I hope the FBI..(Secret Service) has the sense to go after Limbaugh and/or Hannity for inciting the violence……
The GOP thinks its a minority now….(along with Ben Nelson, Max Baucus, (D) etc.,just wait until they side with their corporate master in the Health Care fight (screwing the American people again) ..go ahead you jerks, make our day…we’ve had enough of you and your corporate/nvestment Bankers mutual love affair..just see if you don’t become exticnt in the next election……….
It is well known that the Rush has had problems with addiction. Pain killers before, power now. He keeps trying to increase his dosage, just like a druggie or a drunk.
It is a predictable pattern, familiar to all who have witnessed the progression of an addict’s behavior.
He can’t help himself. He lives in hope of that next big hit.

Rush “flatulence in broadcasting” Limbaugh knows which side of the bread is buttered. His incite and own brand of broadcasting makes him millions, and that’s all he’s interested in.
This is an individual who lives the life of supposed Liberals: drug addict, multi-divorced, Viagra needing low life. Funny how things change over time, huh Rush? Been to church lately?
Two words, Wanda Sykes.
He never even responded to her lambasting of him.
Watch it!

Hilarious and true.
I think Limpalls is entirely too cowardly to take on a sharp woman like Wanda Sykes. I think even Limpball’s knows his limits … to a point.
Is Rush off his oxycontin again? Can’t he go somewhere while the grown ups talk?
The Fat Man has been hacking away at our country’s foundations for 20 years now. All he’s doing is projecting his own crimes onto others as a distraction.
Wildcat
Stop telling me what that fat fuck is saying. You’re wasting electrons.
aye oldswede
Great observation.
Not-so-ironic that he gets a hit off observations like yours.
Brilliant, thanks for that.
LMAO! Once again, Lush Limpballs proves what a fucking moron he is.
Keep reaching, Lush … it’s all you’ve got!
