Limbaugh: "I hope Obama fails."

Quote:
"I hope he fails," Limbaugh told his radio audience on Friday.

Limbaugh went on: "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."
I hope Limbaugh dies.

So there.

I love when blowhards like Limbaugh say something controversial to get attention, and then try to have some explanation at the ready to mask their sensationalism. Only this one makes no fucking sense. If you follow his "logic", there's no need to root for a liberal President to fail, because it's going to happen anyway. So by actively hoping Obama fails, he's really saying he hopes the President makes the wrong decisions. That sounds positively Un-American, Rush.

Limbaugh as Motivational Speaker can be inspiring

Don't look at me like that!

Check out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B8jpN...eature=related

It's when he talks politics that he becomes an utter buffoon. Too bad Politics is the focus of his show!

He should can that "I hope Obama fails" shit or he"ll find his audience going away.

Limbaugh needs to go back to Cambodia and get ass-pounded by the legions of kids he's more than likely preyed upon. Even the dead ones.

Sorry to pull a Face Man there, but I hate this fucking guy.

I'm not sure if Limbaugh tap-danced around this one but I wouldn't be surprised if he had been on the "it's unpatriotic to criticize a president when we're at war"...

...and since I don't recall al-Qaeda and the Taliban sending out "W's gone? OK, we're out" press releases, he's doing just that.

Which would make him, by his own words, a traitor. Not that a consistent internal logic has ever been a strong point of Limbaugh, Coulter, and their ilk.

Yes, it's Liberalism that's driven this country to the precipice. The ecomony, the war, all Liberalism's fault. Jesus Christ.

I'm 99% sure Limbaugh knows how bad/dumb/inconsistent the statement is, and he's just saying it because he's good at his job. Unfortunately, his job is to make his fans happy and to make Jake angry, not to say things the content of which is true/good/logical.

The fact that there is even a thread about this just proves why Limbaugh continues to be able to do what he does.

Not to act holier than thou (here I am, after all). Just sayin'.

Every time I read Limbaugh's name that is the first thing I think of. What a classic bit. It's on youtube if you don't have a copy.

Every time I read Limbaugh's name I always think of that bit. Classic. There's audio on youtube if you don't own Rant in E-Minor (buy it, it's classic stand-up. One of my personal favorites, at any rate)

ETA: Ugh. Sorry, my net connection went full retard for a minute & I thought I had to start over.

Same. Sometimes I have to stop myself from calling him a scatmuncher. It's fun.

Unfortunately, a guy I work with has the very station that Limbaugh and Hannity are on going all day. So I hear all this garbage by default. The funny thing is Rush is maybe 10% analysis, the rest is propaganda. He is literally telling his listeners what to be upset about every day, and they follow like the sheep that they are. It's actually funny to hear Limbaugh coin a phrase and soon enough his callers are using the same phrase days later.

I can't believe people can be led to care about Obama and the "orange juice incident" really, it's amazing.

By wishing the President fails he's essentially wishing that America itself will fail. Which is hilariously unpatriotic.

Limbaugh's old hat. O'Reilly rules what used to be Rush's Roost. With the audiences he draws and the misinformation he spreads, he's more a concern.

Limbaugh is the very definition of a pussy.

Exhibit A: Doesn't have guests on his show that disagree with him. In fact he doesn't have guests at all.

Exhibit B: Only talks with "ditto heads" during his show. Never allows a person with a liberal bent and a brain to call and debate him.

Exhibit C: The last time he was on a show other than his own was when he subbed on the Pat Sajak show back in the 80's.

Seriously, fuck the guy. He's a grade A coward.

Exactly. A real man would wish he succeeds and then come up with a plan that succeeds MORE. If Obama fails and the GOP wins again big whup, how hard is it to follow a loser? If Rush had any balls he'd wish Obama success and then make it his mission to be even better than that success. What a tool.

And we're surprised by Limbaugh saying this why exactly? We've long known he's a jackass and dislikes Obama and the Democratic party as a whole.

The dude's just after (more) press. It's the "Archie Bunker" syndrome if you will - let the idiot say the stupid thing(s) because it's all that's expected from him/her.

GOP to Limbaugh: "Fuck You!"

El Rusbo's comment that he hopes Obama fails has made him a pariah within the GOP

I wonder if ad sales will start going away now...

No way in hell. Rush has the mouth breather demo locked the fuck up. No way advertisers like the 3 Step Plan and the Invest in Gold Consortium is going to piss rich stupid people away.

Some folks are starting a petition targeting Rush. Can't they just leave him alone? He loves the publicity. He'll die without it.

For some odd piece of trivia, Rush has a cousin who is on the federal bench.

An online petition? Wow. That'll get EIB's attention.
