Good For Rush!... Limbaugh Lashes Out at Conservative Jindal-Bashers (Video)
Good For Rush!
Limbaugh Lashes Out at Jindal-Bashers! "Style is not going to take this country back."
Think Progress posted the video:
LIMBAUGH: [T]he people on our side are really making a mistake if they go after Bobby Jindal on the basis of style. Because if you think people on our side Im talking to you those of you who think Jindal was horrible, you think in fact, I dont ever want to hear from you ever again. Ive spoken to him numerous times, hes brilliant. Hes the real deal. Some of us in flyover country are getting sick of the East Coast elites bashing our conservative leaders.
This morning the local talk radio hosts were even talking about this. Jindal may not have rays of sunshine shooting from his a-- but the content of his speech was exceptional... And, he didn't lie.
Some of us were very impressed with Jindal and were upset to see other conservatives pile on the popular governor.

It's been that way ever since the televised Nixon/Kennedy debates.
I understand. But I don't consider the honest critiquing of Republicans to be "infighting."
In fact, it's a good thing - especially if RINOs keep running the RNC and running the GOP into icebergs.
Good on Rush for calling off the attack dogs.
Time to start a Rebel Conservative movement with Jindal and Palin. Who cares what the DC snobocracy thinks of them. Lets elect a real American.
Pray for America, Our Troops and Govs Palin/Jindal
Let me spell it out. New people tend to be DNC plants trying to destroy Republicans from the inside. You have no history and this is the first place plants tend to go. Being thin skinned isn’t exactly a Conservative trait, so if you are a plant, see ya.
Pray for America
Rush is dead wrong on this. As a conservative, I can say that Rush is disconnected from reality.
He is intelligent and continues to be a great spokesman for conservative ideas, but WAKE UP PEOPLE!
It’s 2009! We Do, in fact, live in an age where style does count.
It’s not the only thing, but it’s important
Jindal is the man...he will do better and better. Reagan was not outstanding every time out. Try out a little patience my friend, it works wonders.
Your dead wrong on this. If we are going to give up our principles to be like the Dems then what are we? Do you really think that we are going to ever get a fair shake in the press??
Being a better phony is not going to fix anything. We need people like Jindal who will clean the snakes out of the swamp.
Pray for America
We are now in the era of style over substance. Past leaders such as Washington, Adams and Jefferson were not good speakers. By their own and other accounts. Great leaders but not speakers.
Teddy Roosevelt had a high annoying voice. A great leader by almost any accounts.
General Patton did not sound anything like George C. Scott.
This performance thing is annoying and is really driven by the left. Because it is based on one’s own perception.
People that listened to the Nixon debate on the radio said Nixon won.
Hitler was a pretty good speaker.
Leadership should be judged on ideas and results. Jindal has been a pretty good leader so far.
Fire all GOP handlers!
(if you really want to get serious about substance over style...)
Thank God for Rush, he is right.
I agree with you.
Pathetic.
