White House: Rush Limbaugh fight ‘counterproductive’
ACJ ^ | March 4, 2009 | Jim Galloway

Posted on 03/04/2009 7:47:46 PM PST by DirtyHarryY2K

Banks are on the brink, the stock market is in a torpor, and one of today’s hottest topics at the daily White House briefing was Rush Limbaugh, whom Democrats are trying to hang around the neck of the Republican party.

Robert Gibbs, press secretary for President Barack Obama, was asked if the White House had been complicit in the maneuver — and was not that hypocritical when considering Obama’s emphasis on getting past partisan sniping?

Here’s Gibb’s answer on C-Span:

The Obama administration, positively obsessed with the three or four people in the media whose legs don't shake when the one speaks. Wait till things get really bad, then they'll go positively ape.

By the way Barrack, I hope you took a good look at Gordon Brown today, there's your future. It isn't pretty.

That’s exactly what I am wondering. Gee, I guess it was another many many distractions.

“Rush has more brains in his pinky toe than everyone in 0’s administration combined.”

Of more importance, particularly in today’s world dominated by cowardly lawyerspeak, he has more balls. More balls too than the entire Republican leadership as well.

True. If we got any more lockstepping; it would get embarrasing.

The moonbat messiah is now the most powerful man in the universe. What on earth do his handlers think there is to gain by picking on a private citizen exercising his right to dissent? It's a bizarre spectacle.

But since Obama is so fixated on Limbaugh, let's have them debate the merits of socialist ideology on live national primetime TV.
I wouldn't bet on the messiah.

Do you think any of the 0bamabots ever left the grade school mentality behind?

None of them. The most hilarious part is the claim (quoted in Politico article) that by hitting back Rush damages the GOP and so he should shut up for the GOP sake. 0bamabots are the idiots who think of themselves as too darn smart.

He pwned Zero. The guy is really smart. I have to applaud him.

Plus, with all his wealth, Rush couldn't afford to buy this kind of publicity. Some have argued that Rush is stepping into a trap somehow. I think the arrogant dorks of the Bammy regime jumped one shark too many. Only an idiot takes on a radio celebrity with 25 million listeners a week and who owns his own show so no one can tell him what to say or not to say.

There are tens of millions of Americans who haven't listened to Rush before, but who will have their curiosity tweaked by this attack from the grease-stained White House Obama-Rahm-O-mama buttboy team.

Indeed he did. Rush calls on The Kenyan hisself to put up or shutup and - what do you know?! - suddenly it's counterproductive for the president to engage in a gunfight armed with a plastic fork.

what do you think about the President telling Republican members of the House and Senate not to listen to you?

Hey RATs! Don't listen to Da Bomb.

He'll drag you down.

Obama is acting even less mature and presidential than I thought he would.

I guess experience does matter. Whoda thunk it?

Won't matter. Rush knows his business--he sepcified the debate would be ON RADIO. He isn't about to let the tv people set up another Greek Temple scenario and especially because they would get to control the camera.

Plus Rush undoubtedly knows that when all this debate nonsense started in 1960, those who listened on radio overwhelmingly said the winner was Nixon. The boob-tubers all were drooling over the telegenic know-nothing Kennedy.

Liberals are by nature childish. ‘I just got the umpteenth e-mail from a lib who is ‘so hopeful about our new president, especially eight disastrous years.’ I wrote back a reasoned, fact-filled response. She called it ‘sarcastic’ and had to have the last word. Most of the rebuttal was ad hominem attacks and wrong information. The good news is in doing battle with them, they are extremely predictable.

And clueless. My Lib friends don’t want to argue the FACTS. They just want to argue the Media’s point of view. They don’t want to hear anything truthful if it shatters their fantasies about the perfect Dear Leader. I am so sad for my country.
