Is Obama Scared to Debate Rush?
American Spectator ^ | 03/04/09 | By Jeffrey Lord

Posted on 03/04/2009 1:07:45 PM PST by Behind Liberal Lines

[T]he entire decision to go after Rush Limbaugh was cooked up by supposedly clever White House aides and outside advisors.

David Plouffe, Obama’s campaign manager last year and a member of his inner circle still, will publish an op-ed in Wednesday's Washington Post chiding Republicans for being "paralyzed with fear of crossing their leader.”

[But now Rush] has challenged Obama to a one-on-one debate on his radio show, no teleprompters please.

With an ineptness that leaves one breathless, the Obama team has now effectively labeled Obama himself as "paralyzed with fear" if in fact the President doesn't have the guts to accept Limbaugh's challenge. After all, if they claim that GOP chair Michael Steele and "Republicans" are cowards for not taking on Rush, Obama himself will surely have the guts to do what they claim Steele and Republicans do not: take on Rush Limbaugh one-on-one.

[T]he Obama crowd has now set up a breathtakingly stupid proposition: either Obama debates Rush one-on-one or he is, in the words of his own staff, paralyzed with fear. Now there's a message to send to al Qaeda. The President of the United States has no guts.

well yes, unless Obama gets to bring his teleprompter and his buddies behind the curtain.

Lincoln Douglas one on one ... not a fair fight.

Of course he is. Obama's values are on a teleprompter. Rush's are in his heart. That cowardly weasel usurper would be running out of the studio crying and yelping with his pants down.

COMEDY gold.

Rush could debate “O” and win with 3/4 of his brain tied behind his back!

Liberals have no facts or values on their side. It would surely be an unfair fight.

Mr. Limbaugh calls the 'Annointed One' and raises him some more...

"OUT-F***ING-STANDING!"

And Rush has no reason to be polite and cordial to the Kenyan Kommunist,

because he doesn’t have to worry about offending anyone and losing votes.

He wouldn’t let him dodge and weave, he’d pin him down like a bug and expose him for who he is.

Let's see:

Rush is a high-school graduate.

Obama was top of his class at Harvard Law School.

But, Obama would never agree to debate Rush Limbaugh. Instead, the entirety of the Democrat establishment is trying to take down Limbaugh using their pulpits, komrads in the lamestream media, and through force of law.

They are outmatched
