Limbaugh: ‘I Hope Obama Fails’»
“Are conservative talk-show hosts eager to go on the attack, after
years of defending Bush?” asks the Louisville Courier-Journal’s Larry
Muhammad. The answer is clearly yes.

Barack Obama has not yet taken office, and Rush Limbaugh is already
rooting for his failure. On his radio show last Friday, Limbaugh said,
“I disagree fervently with the people on our [Republican] side of the
aisle who have caved and who say, ‘Well, I hope he succeeds.’”

Limbaugh told his listeners that he was asked by “a major American
print publication” to offer a 400-word statement explaining his “hope
for the Obama presidency.” He responded:

So I’m thinking of replying to the guy, “Okay, I’ll send you a
response, but I don’t need 400 words, I need four: I hope he
fails.” (interruption) What are you laughing at? See, here’s the
point. Everybody thinks it’s outrageous to say. Look, even my staff,
“Oh, you can’t do that.” Why not? Why is it any different, what’s new,
what is unfair about my saying I hope liberalism fails? Liberalism is
our problem. Liberalism is what’s gotten us dangerously close to the
precipice here. Why do I want more of it? I don’t care what the Drive-
By story is. I would be honored if the Drive-By Media headlined me all
day long: “Limbaugh: I Hope Obama Fails.” Somebody’s gotta say it.

It hasn’t taken long for Limbaugh to reveal his core hypocrisy. In
July 2006, with conservatives in power, Limbaugh offered one of his
common screeds against the left. “I’m getting so sick and tired of
people rooting for the defeat of the good guys,” he complained.

During the Clinton presidency in the 90s, Limbaugh would begin his
show with a gimmick, purporting to count the days America had been
“held hostage.” In May 2007, Limbaugh recalled:

Back when Clinton was inaugurated in 1993 and we began our America
Held Hostage countdown, the number of days left until Clinton was gone
so we’d all be released from bondage, the joke, do you remember how
mad the liberals got at that? Do you remember how mad the Drive-Bys
got at that? Then they started running stories how I, Rush Limbaugh,
was destroying the respect for the office of the presidency that the
American people had.

A disastrous Bush presidency has come and gone, but some things
haven’t changed a bit.

At least Rush has good taste in drugs! I had the pleasure of a recent root
canal and the surgeon gave me 12 extra strength Vicodin. I can see how
somebody could get hooked on these little "pharmaceutical vacations"! I
still have seven left, I'm keeping them safe, I take them out every once in
a while just to look at them in admiration!

It is hard to expect anything else from Rush Limbaugh.

Strangely, Susan and I each had a tooth extracted last Friday. They were
cracked, so a root canal wasn't a solution. We both think we've been
married to long----how in hell both of us ended up with a cracked tooth
within days of one another is one of those mysteries we'll never understand.

Anyway, we were prescribed pain medication. Didn't even bother to have the
prescriptions filled. I'm not keen on risking such things---although I
have one hell of a strong constitution and rarely give in to such

Empirin and Codeine saved my life. A friend had sold me her
prescription and it was that coupled with my alcoholism which got me
so sick that I couldn't go to work the next week. It triggered my
acceptance of the alcoholism and I got help. Great stuff, BTW. I'm
just lucky I was more of an alcoholic than a druggie. The trip on
alcohol was bad enough.

I agree.

I threw out nearly all the vicodin after having some intense dental
work done.

You need to eat before taking those things, and it's hard to eat when your
mouth is a stitched up wreck. By the time you can eat again.

I suspect if you have a decent pain tolerance and something called will
power, you don't need most of that stuff and won't get addicted to
drugs/pills/whatever in the first place.

Those that are weak and can't control themselves always find destructive
addictions anyways.

This misses 2 important facts:

2) (More importantly) Rush hosts an ENTERTAINMENT show.

Maybe, but the opposite is not necessarily true. I hope we don't wind up
being reflexively critical of people who are prone to addictions. It isn't
necessarily, or even predominantly, a sign of weakness. I've seen some
strong people develop chemical additions to things I just brush off. I
attribute it to different physiologies, not to personal strength or
weakness.

Limbaugh is a disgusting parasite who thrives on the lowest traits of his
followers, but he's neither weak nor stupid. I doubt if personal strengths
or weaknesses played any role in his addiction to painkillers.

Strange things pass for entertainment these days... If Rush can whip
true believers and critics alike into a frenzy, he's successful, in
that he will get more listeners and earn more.

What he's known for is catering to people with attitudes like yours, Steve.
He knows where your buttons are and he writes a running narrative that keeps
you hopping like a monkey with a pair of electrodes in the pleasure center
of his brain.

If you pay attention, you'll notice that his underlying method is to supply
you with a steady stream of scapegoats to blame for your troubles and
failures. He taps your hatreds and grievances, and shapes them in a way that
keeps satisfying your need to feel superior to some other identifiable
group. It's an old technique, to which he's added some show-biz techniques
that keep you coming back for more.

Enjoy his show. It's all for your benefit.

No need to get in my face for my comments. I smoked a pipe for years, and

the harsh reality is many folks simply don't function without their crutch.

he's a couple of light years ahead of most "knowledgeable" people.
Particularly leftie socialist liberals.

What he is is our new president. Every citizen should give him a chance
to prove himself---and to show respect until he has given cause for we
citizens to not do so.

Given the conditions of the past eight years, how in hell could he be any
worse?

Harold

I wish him well, too, because it's all going to affect me. I just don't
think he will do particularly well, and I DO hope to be proven wrong.

I agree.

I threw out nearly all the vicodin after having some intense dental
work done.

You need to eat before taking those things, and it's hard to eat when
your
mouth is a stitched up wreck. By the time you can eat again.

I suspect if you have a decent pain tolerance and something called will
power, you don't need most of that stuff and won't get addicted to
drugs/pills/whatever in the first place.

Those that are weak and can't control themselves always find destructive
addictions anyways.

Yep! Needy people. They generally have a crutch of
sorts ----smokes----beer-----drugs-----anything but facing the world cold
turkey.

No need to get in my face for my comments. I smoked a pipe for years, and
enjoy a scotch and water as much as anyone---- (but no drugs). However,
the harsh reality is many folks simply don't function without their
crutch. It may even be the religion of their choosing..but they have
something that acts as a detraction, or what ever you choose to call it.

Not me------I just slog along and deal with things as they come up. And
listen to music! :-)

Harold

I choose to let each person decide for themselves, not to judge, and to let
everyone answer in their own way for what they've done. I know I sure spend
less time thinking about them. Got two friends right now, one dealing with
multiple surgeries from Crohn's disease and related kidney ailments, the
other bladder cancer. Boy, they sure like their pain pills. Guess they're
just weak minded people who can't handle reality. If you're so strong, pour
the scotch down the sink.

If there is ANYTHING Rush is NOT known for it is FACTS and TRUTH.

Do you subscribe to a newspaper, listen to real news, watch

Even Faux News is better than Rush.

What he's known for is catering to people with attitudes like yours, Steve.
He knows where your buttons are and he writes a running narrative that keeps
you hopping like a monkey with a pair of electrodes in the pleasure center
of his brain.

If you pay attention, you'll notice that his underlying method is to supply
you with a steady stream of scapegoats to blame for your troubles and
failures. He taps your hatreds and grievances, and shapes them in a way that
keeps satisfying your need to feel superior to some other identifiable
group. It's an old technique, to which he's added some show-biz techniques
that keep you coming back for more.

Enjoy his show. It's all for your benefit.

If he turns out to be failure, I will be one of the first to say it.

Considering that Bush has left him with what another poster called "a

If you are an American, you better hope that he succeeds.

Anyone who is condemning Obama now at the beginning of the term is

First off, national radio advertisers often don't even know what programs
air their commercials. Radio time at that level is bought in packages that
guarantee demographics and numbers of listeners, not particular programs.

But there is an anti-Limbaugh campaign targeting some big advertisers whose
commercials appear on the show, and they've listed Darden Restaurants, Red
Lobster, Pfizer, and AutoZone among their targets.

The reason for my question was this. I have a shed and to keep pests
away, I keep a radio turned on in it that has some sort of a
conservative program, but I think that it is not Rush Limbaugh.

It works pretty well as, I think, pests think there are people in the
shed and become uncomfortable. (or maybe pests are liberal in nature)

I keep some welding gas tanks in the shed and other things. In any
case, when I am in the shed, I find the commercials to be of a little
peculiar nature. I do not want to offend anyone, so I will not
elaborate, but I found their selection a little odd.

That's why I asked about commercials on Rush Limbaugh radio.

Aha. Well, if it's a local show, it may be mostly advertisers solicited by
the station's own time salesman. The pattern is different for national
advertisers and local ones. And you would know it if you were listening to
Rush. g

Anti-Limbaugh or anti-opposing views? One of the disturbing things about the left is that
they tend to try to disrupt debate if they do not like it.

Now the downside of having a previous advertiser drop any politically oriented show is
that for the customers they may mollify the ones they alienate will counteract each other.
Sometimes they lose more than they gain.


It seems to be a favorite tactic. Watching C-Span's Washington Journal for the last 10 or
more years, I've got a real taste of how they work. The leftists call in on the
Democratic, Independent and the Republican line. The goal is to jam the lines so only
their point of view gets through.

If I called in on the Dem line and you listened, a real left leaning Dem would say, he
isn't a Democrat, he is a Republican shill. The same thing applies when some one calls in
on the Rep line and claims to be a Republican that really is not. Each side knows its
own, it only takes a few words, the way a subject is addressed or an impeach Bush for the
tip off.

You must have a different left in Michigan, Wes. Maybe it's what we call the
right. d8-) Out here, the ones trying to intimidate advertisers and media
owners are the "family values" and Christian Right nutbags.

Hitler was just a higher level of liberal. Today's liberals believe in
killing humans before they are born, Hitler believed it was also OK to kill
them after birth. Hitler wanted them killed to advance evolution, the
theory that liberals want to cram down kids throats. Tell kids that they
are meaningless accidents with no purpose or meaning and then wonder why
they bring guns to school to kill. Then turn it around and blame it on the
guns, you place the blame everywhere except where it belongs. Hitler and
liberals were both Godless and will both burn in the same place for
eternity.

I know you think I'm so upset about Obama winning the election, I didn't
find McCain being very exciting but I think he was the better choice. The
Bible tells me that the Godless will be winning in the end times, why should
I be upset that you and the other liberals are proving the Bible to be true.
I'm just along for the ride and Obama getting elected just proves that the
Anti-Christ could come to power at any moment. All this "winning" you are
doing has to take place for God's word to be true so why would I be upset by
it. I still vote for to lesser of the 2 evils but I'm not at all surprised
that the Godless are winning as it has been foretold.
