The EIB Network ^ | August 7, 2008 | Rush Limbaugh

Posted on 08/07/2008 8:37:47 AM PDT by TSchmereL

AND NOW . . . amidst billowing clouds of fragrant, aromatic first- and second-hand premium cigar smoke. . . it is time for . . . that harmless, lovable little fuzz ball, the highly-trained broadcast specialist, having more fun than a human being should be allowed to have, from behind the golden EIB microphone, firmly ensconced in the prestigious Attila-the-Hun chair at the Limbaugh Institute of Advanced Conservative Studies, with talent on loan from G-d, at the cutting-edge of societal evolution, with half his brain tied behind his back — just to make it fair, the all-knowing, all-caring, all-sensing, all-feeling, Maha-Rushie! America's Anchorman, Truth Detector, Doctor of Democracy, and Chief of the Patriotism Police. He is the man who runs America. He knows the Democrats like every square inch of his glorious naked body. He is ready to do what he was born to do--That's host. Get ready to what you were born to do--That's listen (and post your comments on the Rush Limbaugh LIVE Radio Thread).

Speaking of preparation, most all of us who were, already had properly inflated our tires, the frugal did when gas went over $2 a gallon, a few more might, though a lot of folks still aren’t paying attention, so where all the saving?

“America is …, uh, is no longer, uh … what it could be, what it once was. And I say to myself, I don’t want that future for my children.” - Barack Obama

I thought Obama was the candidate of "hope". Where is the hope in that statement?

Since O wants a Marxist country his statement “America is …, uh, is no longer, uh … what it could be" is in line with that ambition.

Then he knew he screwed up and added "what it once was."

That's the way I see it.

This says it all:

John McCain is now trusted more than Barack Obama on nine out of 14 electoral issues tracked by Rasmussen Reports.

My two “Up Your Alley” offerings for todays live Rush thread. :)

As an aside, check out this hilarious Youtube video when you get time (before it’s pulled:):
Rapper E-SHY Disses OBAMA and LUDACRIS http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kW1aWopcn6M&eurl=http://gatewaypundit.blogspot.com/

“Up Your Alley” #1:

In line with the attitude of her constituents in San Francisco (see “Up Your Alley” street fair below), Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) has also said, “up your alley” to the American people.

Obama Supporters for $10 Gas

A Washington-based anti-tax advocacy videotaped supporters of Barack Obama’s presidential campaign who support $10 per gallon gas during a protest stand-off Tuesday. Youtube Video here. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4yznlcON888

Ed Frank, vice president of public affairs for Americans for Prosperity ( http://www.americansforprosperity.com/), spoke to Obama supporters during an event organized on Capitol Hill by... MoveOn.org. According to an email MoveOn emailed to supporters the event was designed to “highlight the GOP’s extensive ties to Big Oil.”

[[And there you have it. If the left can succeed in demonizing the big oil companies, and tax them enough to cripple their competitive advantages, then Occidental Petroleum - ALGORE’s oil company can step into their vacuum. Since it’s his company (well, to fair, it’s not entirely his, but it is very largely controlled by him and his family), he’ll get a pass from the greenie watermelons because he’s their idol, and he’ll promise to buy carbon credits (from yet another of his companies) to offload his guilt onto some third-world cesspool. He’ll answer the call to “drill here, drill now” by starting up all of the idle wells that OXY bought up in the Permian Basin when the price per barrel fell out the bottom in the 80’s, and then he’ll make a mountain of money off both ends of his tidy little con. ...” ~ conservativeharleyguy ]]

The people at this rally made the mistake of telling the truth about the left’s energy policy. From the ban on American oil drilling to proposed global warming legislation, the entire point is to drive up the cost of oil and gas so Americans are forced against their will to use alternative energy sources that by and large aren’t viable. I only wish the politicians they support were as honest with the American people about their true goals. ..”

*
In reality, the United States doesn’t have any big oil companies. It’s true: the largest American oil company, Exxon Mobil, is only the 14th largest in the world, and is dwarfed by the really big oil companies—all owned by foreign governments or government-sponsored monopolies—that dominate the world’s oil supply.

“In short, all Americans are paying a terrible price for the Democratic Party’s perverse energy policies.” ~ John Hinderaker

Newt Gingrich: “The Left is on the Run Don’t let the anti-energy Left get away with using the same discredited arguments, and don’t let them shirk the responsibility they bear for putting us in the energy crisis today. ...” Read More http://www.newt.org/

“Up Your Alley” #2:

San Francisco fest features public sex with no arrests

First my comment #65:

“That was pretty full-on.I couldn’t get to the end.” ~ Mitch5501

Too bad. You might want to go back and see if you can spot any “Obama 08” political buttons being worn. :)

What with all the promises the arrogant Obamamessiah has made to homosexuals when he gets into the Oval Office, they are salivating (pun intended) at that prospect, as are the Naked environmentalist whacko bikers in St. Louis last weekend.

Of course, there were those of us who attempted to reason with the short-sighted “conservatives” who were bound and determined to “teach Republicans a lesson” in the 2006 election by trying to get them to understand the implications of allowing ‘RATS like Nancy “San Francisco values” Pelosi to regain power in Washington, D.C., but it was useless.

Harmless </s> little “Grandma” Pelosie (who represents the citizens of San Francisco and its homosexual mayor, Gavin Newsom) is now Speaker of the House - third in line to the presidency - and you all can see just how she’s used that power since she got in.

Of course, I haven’t even mentioned her ‘RAT equivalent in the Senate, the disasterous Harry Reid.

If the American people are actually dumb enough to give the ‘RATS an even bigger majority in both houses of Congress this fall, it won’t matter in the least whether or not McCain wins, the ‘RATS will have a super majority giving them enough votes to over-ride any of their legislation that he vetos, and stop any of his Supreme Court nominations from even being brought up for a vote.

Pelosi is engaging in those tactics right now by refusing to allow EITHER the Republicans OR the DemocRATS to vote on drilling for oil, etc., because she doesn’t want the American people to see that the ‘RATS would vote against what they’ve overwhelmingly (75%) demanded they want done.

Here ya go!

The 2008 Up Your Alley Fair in San Francisco.

You are about to view the zombietime report about the 2008 Up Your Alley Fair in San Francisco. ( — a free, open-to-the-public street festival held in San Francisco on July 27. Up Your Alley — which until recently was called the Dore Alley Fair — is very similar to the larger and more well-known Folsom Street Fair, in that they are both held to celebrate the leather and fetish scene in the gay community. ) This report contains photographs and descriptions of extreme sexual behavior performed in public that some viewers may find disturbing. http://www.zombietime.com/up_your_alley_2008/

Seems like Rush expects Hillary to move in at the convention or at least TRY to.

My fear is if Hillary does get the nomination and then puts Obama on as VP, McCain is toast for sure. But if Obama implodes to an extent that he WOULD NOT be a Hillary VP, then McCAin would win if he gets more votes from black Americans.

Obama faked 2002 Anti-War Speech for Ad: New Book
American Thinker ^ | 8-7-08 | Rick Moran
Posted on Thursday, August 07, 2008 12:51:51 PM by smoothsailing
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2058092/posts

Why this is coming out now in Jerome Corsi’s new book The Obama Nation is a mystery since you would think that Hilalry’s crack research team would have vetted every single ad Obama put out during the primary campaign.

But the fact is, an ad run by Obama during the primaries featuring a supposed snippet of his anti-war speech in Chicago in 2002 is probably faked. That’s because no one can find any video of the speech anywhere. All that exists is a small snip of audio. This from none other than the liberal NPR:

The speech was given at an anti-war rally on Oct. 2, 2002.....Jessie Jackson was the main speaker. Obama’s speech went mainly unnoticed. He had not yet announced his run for the Senate, although now he claims he risked his political career. Of course we know that there was NO risk in running against Alan Keyes, all Obama had to do was breathe..

The speech was given at an anti-war rally on Oct. 2, 2002.....He had not yet announced his run for the Senate, although now he claims he risked his political career. Of course we know that there was NO risk in running against Alan Keyes, all Obama had to do was breathe..

Gonyea says.....”In an age of YouTube there is no video of the speech and only a snippet of audio. The Obama campaign has reenacted the speech in a campaign AD they are now running.”

If there is no video available it would seem the entire Obama anti-war speech on which he is basing his Ad campaign may be faked. In fact the entire speech could be distorted.

And this from the same website’s Morning Dispatch

Even in this era of YouTube and camera phones, a recording of Obama’s speech is all but impossible to find. The Obama campaign has gone so far as to re-create portions of the speech for a television ad, with the candidate re-reading the text, with audience sound effects.

Contemporary accounts don’t even mention Obama - an insignificant state senator at the time (so much for putting his political career on the line for opposing the Iraq war in a district so far to the left, Che would win in a landslide). But since this report is from last March - a report by a mainstream news outlet - why this is the first we’re hearing of Obama faking an anti-war ad.

Just more evidence that Obama is not what he appears to be and that the press will go a long way to cover that fact up.

Hat Tip: Ed Lasky

Ed adds:

Corsi points out that there is no record of Obama’s anti-war speech-no video, no audio, no written record. Instead, his speech was simulated after the fact in a sound studio much later-complete with phony crowd sounds. He said during the primary campaign that he was in the midst of a US Senate campaign when he made the speech-making it seem as if it was a bold, risky move on his part- an act of courage. Not true-he gave the speech in Nov. 2002. He did not announce his run for the Senate until Jan. 2003
