Limbaugh Breaks With Bush on 'Terrorist Disneyland' Syria

NewsMax ^ | Thursday, April 24, 2003 | Joel C. Rosenberg

[Egregious Philbin]

The charges that the left levels against Bush are based on animosity against Bush and his politics, not on shortcomings of Bush's character.

Bashing Clinton made the CAREERS of more than one conservative pundit. It wasn't even that hard - even Ann Coulter could do it, and she hasn't impressed me since. I think objection to Bush because of his politics rather than the shortcomings of his character makes MORE sense than being against Clinton for his philandering. And, as you say, Clinton was forced to the middle - his politics were hardly that threatening. Oh boy, am I going to get flamed!

[Blood of Tyrants]

First, stop saying that the U.S. has no plans to invade Syria.

Second, move the 4th ID to the border of Syria and let the Syrians sweat for a while.

Third, demad that Syria turn over any wanted Iraqis.

Fourth, demand that Syria immediately turn over any WMD's that Iraq has hidden there.

Fifth, demand an immediate withdrawal of the Syrian from Lebanon.

Sixth, turn over any terrorists on the U.S. wanted lists.

I reckon that will do for starters.

[presidio9]

I like your style.

[JohnGalt]

So you will put American lives in harms way based on your bar analogy?

So? That doesn't change the core equation - that all and all the ire directed at Bush is far more rabid than what we on the average projected at Clinton.

I think objection to Bush because of his politics rather than the shortcomings of his character makes MORE sense than being against Clinton for his philandering.

Clinton's philandering was the least of our concerns. Try lying under oath, obstructing justice, killing Branch Davidians, illegaly obtaining FBI files, illegal fundraising, turning the White House into a political red-light district, selling out our secrets for campaign cash, power-grabbing EOs, trashing the pardon process, and then having the gall to finish up by looting and trashing the White House. Your efforts to make it "just about sex" are as lame as how the libs dismissed his character flaws that profoundly affected this country's institutions.

And, as you say, Clinton was forced to the middle - his politics were hardly that threatening. Oh boy, am I going to get flamed!

Some of his politics were still damaging - his locking up vast tracts of land into national monuments and wilderness areas, his environmental policies that helped turn forests into tinderboxes - he was still a political threat. But the left just has a raw, rabid hatred of Bush that droves them to actually hope that the Iraq campaign went badly so that Bush would not benefit politically from it, at the expense of American and Iraqi lives. That is far, FAR more deranged than anything we ever wished regarding Clinton.

You can bash Rush all you want, but I thank God for him. He was the only lonely voice in the wilderness for many years, before Fox News and before the internet. Many, many pundits and politicians have announced his professional death over the years, but still he remains, and icon of conservatism. I listen to him frequently, and agree with him almost all the time. If you don't agree with him very often, you are probably on the wrong site.

[JohnGalt]

Remember when Rush read John Cruedel's story on the air about Clinton being asked about drugs in his deposition video?

Boy did he screw us with that one.

[cyncooper]

being against Clinton for his philandering.

Um, who was against clinton purely for his "philandering"? Hmmmmmmmmm?

his politics were hardly that threatening.

I consider treason threatening.

[AxelPaulsenJr]

Barf Alert required.

[cyncooper]

Bashing Clinton made the CAREERS of more than one conservative pundit.

Bashing? So if one dared criticize clinton and backed it up with reason and documentation it is bashing?

Whoa! Tariq Aziz is caught. I had ABC on and Peter Jennings broke in with a special report and actually said the U.S. has not said "what they want him for"! Good grief, Jennings is a joke. (Jennings bashing!)

[dwilli]

Rush Limbaugh enlists in the Internet Commandos. Newt Gingrich wants to be Secretary of State, Limbaugh thinks he
Secretary of Defense. Neither one ever toted a backpack and a piece a city block.

[Cable225]

Why does anyone ever read the bilge that Newmax puts out? It's utter crap. Their "journalism" consists or retyping wire stories with their own editorial spin.

I don't understand it either. But there are folks on this forum that treat blabberings from NewsMax (and its counterpart, WorldNetDaily) like Sunday gospel.

[Egregious Philbin]

We can disagree on some things but... Whoa! Aziz is caught. Did Jennings really say that? Unbelievable! Well, not really, but still... bash away.

[presidio9]

So you will put American lives in harms way based on your bar analogy?

Nope I'm hoping it doesn't come to that. Continuing my bar analogy, after I knock out the big guy, his smaller friend buys me a drink, if he knows what's good for him.

"I agree with the article and Newt. Bush is handling Syria incorrectly."

How many stars on your armchair?

[Arthur McGowan]

Waco, tax increase, Executive Order that created the market for fetal bodyparts that resulted directly in the INVENTION of Partial-Birth Abortion; other Executive Orders mandating abortion on military bases, etc.; Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act; blaming OKC bombing on "right-wing talk radio" (and covering up Iraqi connection); doing nothing about WTC bombing; doing nothing about Kobar Towers bombing; doing nothing about U.S.S. Cole bombing; lying under oath; obstruction of justice; threatening Linda Tripp with murder; rape; promoting abortion aggressively through every possible international agency...

Let's see--what items on the above list were just PRIVATE BEHAVIOR?

[techcor]

Rush is disappointing. He hasn't done nearly what he could.

[Egregious Philbin]

Before you accuse me of defending Clinton, or being a Clinton fan (why do I put myself in these situations?) - you can add the bombing in Sudan to your list of his crimes. As for trashing the pardon process - Bush Sr. had his way with that one before Clinton.

How many on the left actually said they hoped the Iraqi campaign would go badly?

[CyberAnt]

I couldn't agree more about NewsMax. And ... Rush was laughing and laughing about the title World put on the article; anything to bash Bush.

Rush Limbaugh enlists in the Internet Commandos. Newt Gingrich wants to be Secretary of State, Limbaugh thinks he Secretary of Defense. Neither one ever toted a backpack and a piece a city block.

The liberals love using that observation about Bush as well. It is meaningless. I never threw a pass to an NFL receiver, but I sure as hell can tell you who the Giants should take in the NFL draft.
