Flashback: Carville Wanted Bush to Fail
Fox News ^ | 3/11/2009 | Bill Sammon

Posted on 03/11/2009 9:57:28 AM PDT by Notwithstanding

The press never reported that Democratic strategist James Carville said he wanted President Bush to fail before the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. But a feeding frenzy ensued when radio host Rush Limbaugh recently said he wanted President Obama to fail.

The MAIN weapon they came up with is Rush’s quote about wanting Obama to fail.

&&&&&&&

Just remember that Rush gave them that quote. Call it a Trojan Horse, for want of a better simile. He knew what they would do with it. Now Rush is getting national exposure for his opinions far beyond his loyal audience because he knew that they could not resist attacking him, using that quote. He is able to engage the minds of millions of more people, and since our elected ‘loyal opposition’ seem to be mute, Rush has taken up the leadership of the debate.

September 11, 2001 was the first real day of Washington getting started on government business after the August/Labor Day recess. President Bush had flown to Florida to be seen in a classroom, his Education Secretary was on TV, and his wife was on Capitol Hill meeting with Ted Kennedy to discuss plans and ideas for the No Child Left Behind Bill.

Just as President Bush was initiating his plans for the fall legislative season, Carvile [intentional] and friends were initiating their campaign against him.

...this is all part of the Dems’ plan to blame the Republicans WHEN his policies fail. They will brand the GOP as ‘obstructionists’ and claim they were working to undermine Obama from the beginning. Once again, the GOP will allow itself to be defined in the minds of voters.

HILLARY CLINTON on April 28th, 2003:

“I am sick and tired of people who say that if you debate and you disagree with this administration, somehow you’re not patriotic, and we should stand up and say, we are Americans, and we have a right to debate and disagree with any administration!”

DBM template:

Wanting Bush* to fail = patriotic opposition;

Wanting Obama to fail = Racist hate-mongering evil neo-con

*or as often implemented:

Helping Bush to fail = patriotic opposition

Wanting Obama to fail = Racist hate-mongering evil neo-con

How is this breaking news?

Yeah, the whole media hypocrisy around Rush is moronic and should be criticized. But then again, he is just an entertainer, a talk radio host. Just because it's a right winger and not Sean Penn or Michael Moore doesn't make this Hollywood fluff more newsworthy.

It's a non-story.

Does Carville have any scruples whatsoever?

Real small ones, according to Mary.

Do not feed James Carville after midnight. Note in the left hand photo, the use of a necktie to keep the foreskin from riding up.

Didn't it start before that - when Barry invited the GOP leadership over to the WH and told them "Hey you can't get anything Bi-partisan done if all you are going to do is listen to Rush"?

The dems have succeded in making a common sense statement into something outrageous.

Why would a conservative want a liberal to succeed with liberal policies? If he wanted success for libs, he’d be a lib himself.

If a lib wanted a conservative to succeed with his conservative agenda, he’d be pretty mixed up as well.

That’s why there are two parties. Libs want the liberal agenda advanced and likewise conservatives. If they wanted each other to succeed, they’d be schitzophrenic.

The biggest difference between conservatives wanting a President to fail and liberals wanting a President to fail is the conservatives want it to be policy failures and liberals want it to be policy and, most despicably, military failures.

1st amendment rights are only extended to liberal socialist content.

Any other critical speech is hate speech, and not protected by the 1st amendment, and is worthy of a national socialist ( fascist) response from both the SS and Homeland Security for inciting insurrection against the president of the United States.

I do not believe I have ever witnessed such a rapid disintegration of a new presidency. Obama is toast.
