I hope the Clinton and Obama campaigns jump all over this right away with press releases, a conference call with the media, whatever they have to do. They need to set the record straight -- now -- and nip this in the bud.
This is just beyond the pale.
On Mr. Limbaugh's program today, he said people should not be rushing to back Mr. McCain over issues of national security. The talk host said America's direction in Iraq would not be substantially different even if Mrs. Clinton or Mr. Obama were elected. "They are not going to surrender the country to Islamic radicalism or the war in Iraq," Mr. Limbaugh said after mentioning the two Democratic senators by name. "They are not going to do that to themselves, despite what their base says."
I'm outraged!
How dare Limbaugh claim that Hillary and Obama aren't going to surrender to the terrorists.
Why the hell does he think I'm sending them money?!
If it's one thing I've been able to count on since 9/11, its that my party is the party of treason, surrender, suicide bombers and burkas for everyone. The Republicans told me again and again that I could count on every elected Democrat adhering to this platform -- from Max Cleland to John Kerry to Nancy Pelosi -- and especially, Hillary and Barack Osama Obama.
If Rush is saying that I don't want the terrorists to win in Iraq so they can then ultimately establish a caliphate here in America where I won't be free to practice my religion, have a beer, shave, or watch "Family Guy", Limbaugh's McCain Derangement Syndrome has gotten the best of him.
What's the point in voting Democratic now?

But Rush inCYSTs you believe him…
Rush still thinks he’s the King-Maker.
That’s it. I’m reregistering as an R. Gotta belong to a defeat
isted party.Out Rush.
limbaugh is a pussy shit draft dodginb maggot and he has some NERVE claiming ANYONE wouldn’t protect this nation better then the IDIOT in charge
these MORONS have given the WORLD to the terrorists, it’s their DOING and it looks like they are doing it intentional
man oh man oh man
one of my main themes is pointing out that wnen a neo con attacks a demcrat it’s almost always because they are guilty of the very attack
the NEO CONS surrendered this country to the terrorists
worse then that, THEY KNEW they would be doing JUST THAT when they diverted resources and assets so they could attack a country the knew as a fact pose absolutely no threat
I fell for Rushbo’s ploy. I already voted for a democrat today…
Rushbut makes what 15 ,20,000,000.00 dollars a year to spew these LIES …why doesn the corporate media ,and all the congresscritterz say this 24/7?
want to read some depravity?
that’s lie by lie colon Powell, making believe there was some kind of threat in Iraq and the absolute unequivocal proof he knew he was lying when he made his UN “pitch”
Perris, I get that you’re angry, but your use of the term “pussy” here is marginal. Surely there are better epithets.
I’m grateful that somebody over here listens to Rush; it’s a dirty job but someone has to do it.
Do pilonidal cysts keep anyone from serving these days?
Dole Tells Limbaugh To Give McCain A Chance, Igniting Spat
Republicans fighting each other. Good times.
and who pays his salary?
certainly NOT product he pitches, the corporations pay for air time even though he sells nothing that justifies the salary
It’s been interesting to see how little influence he seems to be having even on the Repube base. Lush, Coulter, Hewitt and friends have been strongly urging listeners to back The Tax Whisperer Romnutz, but to no avail. CrazyTrain’s gunna run away with it today it seems like. Times they are a changin!
All the more reason Democrats need to stop worrying about how we’re going to be portrayed in “the media.”
More and Better!
that fat slob has gone too far so many times i hardly even notice any more. i say, move along folks and you’ll leave the smell area ……
Wait a second, I wanna see if I have all my facts straight. A drug addicted, deaf because of his drug addiction, illegal prescription for Vagra using because he’s IMPOTENT from his drug addiction,chickenshit chickenhawk of a draft dodging with a pimple on his ass, sex tourist trip taken darlin of the closeted, self hating, self loathing,meth and man meat lovin UUUUUberchristofacistictalibangelical wingnutoshere is trying to say that MY candidates aren’t going to immediately surrender to AlQiada if they win? Well I guess he’s the authority but I could SWEAR I told Pelosi and Reid and Clinton and Obama that I would ONLY vote Democratic if we surrender to Osama and replace Lady Liberty with a woman wearing a Burhka and make it mandatory that at least 70 women from every graduating class in public schools stay virgins for the Islamofacists. Damn, lied to again!
my dumbass next door neigbor,dutifully listens to him every day …oy
you know, a democrat should repeat that almost verbatum and just change it to make it look like they wrote it themselves
that would disabuse that clown from ever thinking of opening his pie hole again
person who got off every charge with his ambulance chasing(repuke talking point) lawyer….hey peeps…do what i say ,not what I DO
I would bet he doesn’t buy anything rush pitches though
What is the gasbag meatpuppet Limbaugh’s obsession with “anal poisoning” and what does he know about Huckleberry Graham that he’s not telling in full?
Pass the effing popcorn and an ice-cold Blue Moon on tap…this is a great show.
Those Rs are so cute when they fight.
Prairie, I actually think you’ve hit on something here.
he is a walking hypocrit,(neighbor)
Rush scrambling to get Romney elected- cause he’s a REAL conservative- as of last year- before that he was a cheese eater.
If only…
The damage of 7 plus years of this hate from all like Rush, into our homes 24/7 is essentially, to me, torture, and beyond calculation in damage done to our psyche.
Terror, 911, terror,….bad credit, call Mort’s 24hour loans will hook you up.
Are Americans getting fatter..tune in at 11:00
What they don’t tell you about baby strollers…breaking story
Homeland security alert red!!
Be very, very afwaid.-I am fucking laughing. fuck ‘em
Anal Poisoning must be shoving your Oxycotin up yer ASSHOLE to avoid detection?
Perhaps he was traumatized by the pilonidal cyst that kept him from living his dream and serving in Viet Nam. They are located close to that body part he keeps referring to.
oh baby;
Tex, That was just brilliant!
Oh, and I voted for Edwards today. And enjoyed doing so.
He’s still on the ballot in NYS, so if anybody besides me still belongs to the Democratic wing of the democratic party, you can still vote for him.
It will feel good. I can attest to that
Hey, can I use that?
I’m popping the corn right now!
Laughter, no, lots of laughter
Thank You-I was starting to go off, you saved me.
Rush managed to get one big welfare stimulus package for himself re-titled, salary.
Because right now that $20 million/year comes from Bain Capital, owned by……….
…….
Mittster!
and secularhumanizinevoluter @ 16
Keep it coming (((((((99G)))))))

(applause from the peanut gallery). Nice rant.
Is this a great country or what?
this is going to be schedenfreudalicious
Is that true?
“I would ONLY vote Democratic if we surrender to Osama and replace Lady Liberty with a woman wearing a Burhka”
maybe we could get Christo and Jeanne-Claude to do up a proposal…
Interesting side note, a commenter over at the CBS News blog that had the Dole-Limbaugh article up brought up a point I had quite forgotten…that Clear Channel, home of much Limbaugh in America is owned by … Bain Capital which is owned by Willard. Free Ride, Much?
Yep, Mittster’s Bain Capital bought Clear Channel, major broadcaster of Rush.
You don’t think he’s doin’ it on principle, do you?
we need to say it over and over…after D. Trump…rushbutt owns the largest castle in the MOST expensive city on EARTH period…Liars for Dollars
Funny; he’d better tell the news to Chris Wallace over on Fox, who asked Hillary why she wants to declare defeat in Iraq.
I wonder why he hasn’t been out front on this - saying for years that Democrats won’t want to destory the country. Oh, I know - it made him money to say it.
I’m loving watching him and Ann Coulter scurry toward relevance.
day late and a dollar short. Thanks Jim, you beat me to it… lol. :-)
To clarify, Romney was head of Bain Capital but does not “own” it. It’s a partnership.
Rush is mostly on Clear Channel.
Clear Channel was bought by Bain in November 2006: http://www.clearchannel.com/Co.....aseID=1824

i thanks you from the bottom of me heart.
i hope that millions of Empire State voters join you.
that would send a message that needs to be heard.
poets are the unacknowledged legislators of the world.
what you said was surely poetic.
Amen. It felt good to Caucus for him in Iowa.
As if an islamic caliphate theocracy in the U.S. versus the neo-con and theo-con wet dream of a christian theocracy in the U.S. is really a choice, Rush, you dumb fuck.
Wait! Are you telling me Mitt Romney funded Bain Capital who funded Clear Channel who pays Rush’s salary? Straighten me out, please.
I for one think old rushbutt is still on hillbilly heroin…the cure rate is about 10 % iirc
Surely KO will highlight the matter.
On the other hand, I may be starting to waiver. Can anyone who Rush Limbaugh and Ann Colter despise that much be very bad?
You don’t think he’s doin’ it on principle, do you?
It’s not, at his income level, about the
principleprincipal, it’s about the interestYes. This brings to an end today’s installment of short answers to easy questions.
the amout he is payed ,shows one, how utterly crucial he is to their game plan
Blue Tex: Are you sure you weren’t thinking of supporting the Green Party? I think they also would agree with Rush’s analysis.
Okay.
Well sheeeit. If they’d surrender, it would be AK-47s for everyone! That almost makes up for no more beer, wine, whicky, out of wedlock sex for fun, Family Guy, bikinis, thongs, etc. Think about it! It would be one big street party (for men) with all of us shooting off into the sky to blow off steam from not getting to have beer, wine, whicky, out of wedlock sex for fun, watch Family Guy, etc.
‘Course, describing it that way no doubt piques the interest of the GOPers: guns and shootin’ all over the place while denying denying everyone (else at least) all the fun stuff of life. GOPers with guns (and wide stances) should make THEM a shoe-in for surrenderin’ to the jihadis.
Yes! Rush works for Mitt Romney. “Well of course he’s against McCain…he works for Mitt!”
That should enter every Democrat’s repertoire alongside “You know that $1200 rebate that Bush promised this year? The Republicans in the Senate are going to keep you from getting it.”
I too voted for John Edwards, in the AZ primary. I hope that he’ll pick up a few delegates today, and be able to use each one as a bargaining chip to move Clinton and Obama a bit closer to progressive positions.
The purchase of Clear Channel by Bain & partners has not yet been completed.

you know, I bet mccain is so clueless he doesn’t know rush is on mitt’s payroll
hell, we didn’t even know it and that’s our job
someone needs to contact mccain, spread some love all around the old barn yard
Limbaugh’s audience is shrinking at an alarming rate. He knows his constant backing of Bush is coming to bite him in the cyst… The guy is losing control on his authoritarian listeners, they’re either dying of old age, or they’re tuning him out. He has no relevance anymore, he can feel it slipping away through his cigar stained fingers. Boys in the Dominican Republic should find shelter, it won’t be nice when he’s done with them.
Marion!
this one’s for you
Perris is obviously shrill, and possibly, unserious.
I don’t know, I think he’s lost his luster since hannity started broadcasting the same crap but as a much better broadcaster
who is that unick they have on at night that does the same shtick as these two?
mark levIN or something like that, sounds like he was castrated before his vocal cords developed, then someone hit him in the nose and he never got his septum un deviated
To quote Al Franken “Rush Limbaugh is a big fat liar”
Thanks for that clarification. I was under the impression that the deal had closed. Of course, Mitt also not still an active principal with Bain, but the implication is just too juicy to ignore.
You know, if by some unfortunate chance McCain is elected in December, he won’t be forgetting the way Limbaugh, Hannity, Coulter, etc. have treated him. Their access will be CUT OFF.
November…
rotflmao
In December? Another one selected by the Supreme Court?
Bain Capital is everybody’s business. Even the Carlyle Group has its fingers in the pie. My how it all comes together! Will Mitt be required to make full disclosure on his business interests and will it include his family as well? Or, can he hide behind another family member?
he forgave chump awfull fast,lol
Early 13 point lead for Obama in California, according to the Reuters/C-Span/Zogby poll.
http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/200…..g.CXes0NUE
Perris is obviously shrill, and possibly, unserious.
Hopefully that was snark…
This is getting really fun (TPM). Now the religious right is attacking McCain too!
And we’re to believe that evangelicals will support a Mormon?
13 point Obama lead in Calif? Woohoo!!!
OfT - MSNBC just projected Huckabee as the winner in West Virginia caucuses.
I thought that broadcast networks were precluded from making such calls, or projections, as this, until not only local, but national polls have all closed.
Anyone?
OT:
DOW down 287 pts.
Market’s gonna crash when no one’s paying attention. Anyday now…
This is getting really fun (TPM). Now the religious right is attacking McCain too!
At least until McCain names Huckabee as his V.P. candidate…
Surely you can’t be serious…
Thanks! I think I may have to start offering our canine pals “Bush Biskits” for breakfast.
Because primary styles vary from state to state, those rules don’t apply.
jayt–
Maybe since WV is using the caucus system, it’s possible they are over by now. Just guessing.
And the announcements would be state by state, this isn’t a national presidential election. I don’t know of any agreement not to release a state’s results until everyone had finished voting across the country.
AP confirming: “CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) - Mike Huckabee has won the Republican caucuses in West Virginia.”
OT But something odd happened on my campus in California last night. Someone came by and put up hundreds of “Vote For Edwards” posters up.
Some of the lines on the posters were
“Don’t let the News Media tell you how to vote!
Don’t let Them run the Presidential campaign!
This is America. We have a right to vote our way, not how the media tells us to vote!
Suspended- NOT Ended! Your vote still counts!
-The TRUE candidate that everyone is copying.
-He’s been dubbed “The People’s President!”
-Let your voice be heard by voting and creating a political ROAR that cannot be IGNORED!”
Now given that Edwards was polling well below the 15-25% needed to win a delegate in most districts ~ and that was back when he was actively running a campaign I have to admit I am a bit suspicious about this “stealth campaign” to bring votes to Edwards?
Who benefits from people making a “protest vote” that is unlikely to pick up a single delegate?
I’ve heard that almost all Edwards supporters in California are supporting Obama and that while Hillary’s voting polling numbers are staying steady…Obamas have shot up in the weeks since Edwards suspended his campaign.
I can only harbor some strong suspicions that this is a ploy by Clinton supporters to deter Edwards supporters from supporting Obama, since ANY votes shifting that direction would potentially lose delegates AND perhaps result in a defeat in California.
None of them carried any information about who was involved…no phone number, no Edwards campaign address or email. I called them and they said the Edwards Campaign is suspended and John isn’t seeking votes. “Students for Edwards” said that they were not involved either.
Who knows. I sure can’t figure it out. But Dobson’s photo over at TPM sure looks like Larry Craig.
Oh, I thought you put in Puppy Chow, and they leave Bush Biskits.
Iraq Invasion cheerleader extreme Limpballz rakes in millions. Death-lover Mittmo inherits millions, of which he’ll pass many millions to his sons. And this mother of three just dies in Iraq, on her 3rd Tour!!

These fucking war mongers need to be taken down…and hard! (not physically of course).
Folks, I gotta tell you; when the republican talking heads are attacking John McCain for being too liberal, we are shitting in HIIIIGH cotton! :o) :o) :o)
Yessir, I want the damn flat-earth society to WRITE the republican platform in Minneapolis. :o)
Well THAT economic stimulus plan really worked…along with the wonderful Bush Budget!
I doubt that it is anything that nefarious. I’ve seen lots of very dedicated Edwards supporters here at the Lake advocating for people to continue voting for Edwards. My money is on freelancing, dedicated Edwards supporters.
I don’t know of any agreement not to release a state’s results until everyone had finished voting across the country.
maybe it applies only to the national, general, election.
fwiw, I have a large problem with networks making calls anywhere before the polls are closed everywhere.
(MSNBC just showed a graphic from W.Va. - apparently it *is* all over there - they were showing 100% reporting).
Still…
Bonkers, if California goes for Obama by 13 points, I think they WILL be taken down. :o)
I was so happy to see THAT margin, even if it is early, that I wanted to kiss the grizzly bear’s ass on the California state flag.
:o)
LMAO Blue Texan! Lovin’ the sarcasm at the expense of The Fat One On The Radio!
Name one neocon that served in the arm forces. OK Rummy did… who else?
If we followed this logic to the end then we would still be waiting for the release of the IA, NH, SC, FL, MI, and NV results until the final primary and/or caucus sometime in May or June.
The Students for Edwards group on campus said they didn’t know who might be involved (there is nothing illegal about it in my mind…simply strategically odd). The Edwards students said that they actually discussed whether they would continue to campaign for Edwards at a meeting last week, and most came to the conclusion that the campaign was over and that they were free to support other candidates. Some discussed which at that meeting and the vast majority leaned for Obama. There was discussion as well as to whether continued support for Edwards would serve as a “spoiler” to the candidate most likely to be supported by others, given the delegate distribution.
His view was it wasn’t someone who was a member of their group, ’cause he would have likely have heard about it.
No, that’s not from the Clinton campaign. Check out the JohnEdwards.com site and read the blogs. Given the chance, I would vote for Edwards becasue my conscience won’t let me vote for Clinton or Obama, particularly after confirming Obama’s views on and ties to the nuclear power industry.
I think the Democratic powers that be told Edwards to get out of the picture, that they wanted to make history in this election. Of course, early in 2007 the Repug pundits were saying that Edwards scared them the most so the media had to marginalize him. There’s no way big business was going to allow Edwards to be president.
So that’s where the idea came from! Thanks for this - I’ve got the keychain countdown - 349 more days ’til Bush’s last day.
New Polls Suggest Huckabee Surge in GA, Alabama
MoveOn.org was roundly condemned by both Congress and the Senate for the Petraeus Ad a while back….
How come nobody goes after Rush for what he indicates his “observations” of our party?…
You got it. I give free and unfettered right of use and reproduction without compensation in the United States and all it’s holdings except for Guam. And maybe Texas.
“gonna come back and Bite him in the cyst”
OH MAN I wish I had come up with THAT!!
the fat, constipated opiate addict is correct this time - the 2 DLC candidates are simply offering up campaign rhetoric about withdrawal.
they have said they envision US troops occupying our newly acquired province at the end of their second terms.
Rush need to take more oxycontin.
He must really hate Doughy Pantload. That statement could actually be translated as “liberals are not fascists’.
