Limbaugh Under Fire
Pajamas Media ^ | March 4 | Adam Graham

Posted on 03/04/2009 10:40:52 AM PST by AJKauf

Unlike the leadership of the Republican Party, Limbaugh is trusted by most conservatives. The flap over Limbaugh admitting he hopes Obama fails is a prime example of why people have faith in Limbaugh and not Republican leaders. Limbaugh raked Steele over the coals on Monday and demanded to know why, if Steele wants Obama to succeed, he keeps getting RNC faxes challenging, attacking, and exposing Obama’s agenda?

When many on the right say they hope Obama succeeds, they don’t mean, “I hope Obama is able to socialize medicine, get card check, and the Freedom of Choice Act passed, while getting every Christmas tree item he mentioned during the campaign passed through Congress.” Usually Republicans mean, “I hope Obama doesn’t crash the economy or make a foreign policy mistake that leads to thousands of Americans dying.” Or they hope he succeeds by forgetting everything he campaigned on and becoming a supply-sider.

Rush’s “I hope he fails” is far closer to the hearts of conservatives who really do not want Obama to succeed in pushing through his agenda, even if they’re not cheering for the country to go down in flames.

Rush Limbaugh isn’t perfect, but he’s closer to the minds of most Americans than the party’s leaders in Washington are. This doesn’t mean he should be the leader of the conservative movement...

I hope Obomba fails.

I hope we see the day when muslims and illegals are expelled from the United States.

I hope government schools will be abolished.

I hope homosexuals are treated as criminals.

I am not politically correct.

Gonna backfire on them big time. It’s up to Conservatives and those that love this country to make their voices heard.

Limbaugh stared.

Steele blinked.

Althought Steele has appologized, that’s too little too late for the RINO who panders to the same black racists who call him an “Uncle Tom”, “house n****r” and throw oreo cookies at him, yet he doesn’t have the backbone to stand up to their slander of the GOP as “Nazis’s”.

Oreos for Uncle Tom Thursday, November 03, 2005

I not only want DOH-bama to fail, both PERSONALLY and POLICICALLY, I want to see him and his fellow JACKASS party be the biggest jokes on the planet and all those who voted for them embarrassed out of existence and THAT ONE resigning in shame.

“Unlike the leadership of the Republican Party, Limbaugh is trusted by most conservatives”

Truer words were never spoken - and with great justification.

Just following Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals.

It’s all part of the plan.

Rush subtly changed his position to I hope he fails [to implement his agenda].

I hope the spread of socialism in America fails. Since obozo is the face of socialism, I hope he fails. Yet, we must endure for 3 more years. Can we do it before a revolution starts?

Rush’s challenge to 0bama this morning was also a big challenge to the conservative members of Congress to get on the stick.

It's what he's been saying all along, he didn't change a thing. I heard it the very first day.

ElRusbo fired all guns this morning at the Obama circus clowns. He challenged Zero to a one on one debate...no teleprompters! He said Obama did not have to hide behind his ballerina, Rahm!....L.O.L

This speaks volumes about the Republicans lack of leadership. We need the void filled.

Rush is a bright guy. He knows this is an aim to divide and conquer the Republicans. He upped the ante on the Saul Alinsky game and raised Obama by going all in.

What is Robert Gibbs and Obama going to do now? They can’t do anything but back down.

Obama would get destroyed in a debate with Rush. It will never happen.
