Dems’ clueless attack on Limbaugh already drawing accurate fire
President Obama’s mere mention of Rush Limbaugh was an amateur mistake, elevating the status of a political foe while diminishing his own. It provided Limbaugh with a golden opportunity to shine a larger-than-normal spotlight on the flaws in the President’s agenda and giving him reach into audiences he normally cannot gather. Limbaugh wasted no time, responding to the comment and taking full advantage of the opening given him on his show Monday. The Democrats have chosen to repeat the error, this time by launching a petition against Limbaugh for “saying he wanted President Obama to ‘fail.’”
For a group of people so swift to dismiss the concerns of opponents by saying they’re purposely twisting the context of what one of theirs says at a given moment, they’re sure happy to commit the same offense. Limbaugh doesn’t want Obama’s agenda items – fiscal, security, or social – to be enacted. That’s what he means by hoping the President fails. And is that really a surprise to anyone? Hey, I don’t want many – most, in fact – of Obama’s initiatives to be enacted. I don’t want him to fail so badly that I’ll gladly watch Americans get killed in terror attacks and I won’t make barely-veiled calls for someone to assassinate him like people did with President Bush. But do I want him to fail badly in his various big-government programs? You betcha I do.
But there are people making that point far better than I and one of them is RWJ over at Breitbart. His post is pure gold:
As someone who did not vote for President Obama, I don’t want to be lumped in with the haters, so here is a list of examples showing just how much I support our President:
- I support him as much as Code Pink supports our troops.
- I support him as much as N.O.W. supports Ayaan Hirsi Ali.
- I support him as much as the Hollywood community supported Theo Van Gogh.
- I support him as much as Nancy Pelosi supports the Catholic Church’s teachings on life.
- I support him as much as Al Gore supports cutting down on his personal carbon footprint to save the world.
And it just gets better from there. Read the whole list of 12 for yourself and enjoy.
