President Barack Obama is being flamed by the conservative blogosphere, as literate as it can be anyway, all because of some things he said that included Rush Limbaugh and other right-wing messiahs. The Commander-in-Chief spoke for an interview with Rolling Stone and during the interview he was asked about breaking through the Republican divisiveness in the country. His response was quite on-the-mark, but naturally conservatives are on a rampage against his words. To put it simply, the president called Rushy-boy a liar.
President Barack Obama said the following:
"Frankly, I know that there are good, decent Republicans on Capitol Hill who, in a different environment, would welcome the capacity to work with me. But right now, in an atmosphere in which folks like Rush Limbaugh and Grover Norquist are defining what it means to be a true conservative, they are lying low. My hope is that after this next election, they'll feel a little more liberated to go out and say, 'Let's redirect the Republican Party back to those traditions in which a Dwight Eisenhower can build an interstate highway system.'"
So what's so bad about that? People like El Rushbo and Norquist are the very reason why there is such division among American voters. With the hateful, anti-women attacks coming from Rush, anyone on the conservative side should be completely ashamed that the guy has been touted as the "leader of the GOP." He's a total embarrassment!
So of course the right-wing pundits are going to 'boo hoo' this into some political device meant to further separate Americans on the important issues such as job creation, the economy and whether or not that pesky ol' terrorism will ever be beat.

He is of my generation yet I cannot tell you one thing he has accomplished. Other than his being a troll before its time.
“Eisenhower gained an appreciation of the German Autobahn network as a necessary component of a national defense system while he was serving as Supreme Commander of the Allied forces in Europe during World War II. He recognized that the proposed system would also provide key ground transport routes for military supplies and troop deployments in case of an emergency or foreign invasion.”
Stupid is … well it’s just dumb. Rush doesn’t represent the republican establishment and he’s no “leader of the GOP.” Any time you try to put Rush down more people are going to be curious about him. After the flap about Fluke, his ratings actually went up. Now this may be a a clever plot on the President because he may have secretly purchased stocks and something to profit from Rush’s success as a result of being bashed by the POTUS, but I doubt it. It’s just plain old dumb.
And, by the way, the “true conservative” is the guy who keeps sending teams to challenge you in court. So that list would start off with Mark Levin, not Rush Limbaugh.
Heheh.. now run along and get some juicy-juice from your mommy. I don't debate with grammar school students. Especially ones who are so intimidated by me that they just insult -- and then cry when it gets dished back to them.
(in other words, you have a long way to go before you're at a level worthy of actually getting halfway to me. But your public attempts at doing so, is giving quite a few people the giggles. You're constant unintentional embarrassment of yourself serves as pretty good entertainment in between posts.)

P.S. I love a lady with a keen mind.
2. Rush Limbaugh is "wrong" because he seeks out to divide americans with hateful vitriol, etc etc.
i.e. attacking women, gays, blacks, and practically anyone who isn't a fat white POS.
Again, a basic education would make your opinions mean a little bit more than nothing ;)
Stay classy.
In a socialist country -- the government wouldn't have the $
in a communist country -- they WOULD have all the $
there are very important differences between the two, such as that.
I don't think it's my education that needs to be reviewed. I make straight As and Bs -- and this was part of my sociology class, which I passed, with an A.
I know the school of Limbaugh and O'Reilly is free and all, but it isn't helping you.
Which is why you use the insults you use in place of substance. You're intellectually weak, and angry about it. You shouldn't be angry about it. School is affordable if you let it be. ;)
I'd rather be a useful idiot.. than simply just an idiot ;)
There is a difference between stupidity and ignorance, but somehow you've mastered both.
I see opinion is still raging out because he couldn't keep up with anyone here.. that's sad :(
do you and Opinion Nate Ted live together by any chance? It seems that the whole "i'm not that bright so I insult people" tactic is shared wholly by you guys.
it's amusing.
"ARGGGHHHHHHH I'm so angry arrrghhhhhh" hahaha
"She says as she points out our misunderstandings, which anger us and cause us to insult her. It's an insult to point out that we're wrong and lack an understanding of what's being discussed, so we're going to call her names and then cry about it when she points out that these insults are just more proof of our shortcomings."
there you go.. Now it's more rounded out and accurate.
"You are much to uninformed and lacking in critical thinking skills to achieve and real academic achievements unless you are on the public dole and taking very easy courses."
You see, when I point out your lack of grasp on a topic -- it's over something you've said or done to PROVE that. When you make a retort, it's an insult, dipped in hyperbole, surrounded by assumption, offering no example of WHAT was wrong with absolutely no reasons offered to explain why.
That is why you're not at my level, man ;) and probably never will be. And I bet that just eats you up inside.. that you can't even debate against a woman with even an ounce of class and self-dignity. You just choose to embarrass yourself.
And I appreciate it, trust me ;)
I thought you already got it? Did you already forget? Oh dear...
Chelsea, regardless of how you want to hide behind definitions of words that liberals love to redefine as they see fit, the fact is that both socialism and communism are both centralized governments that do not care about the freedom of the individuals. Racism, sexism, fill in the isam blank, the government will not care a bit about what you think once they have power and shortly thereafter, your opinion of Marx will change. Your lack of history is showing... What do you think of woman’s rights in communist China?
But yuh, you know, when you're right you're a liberal, apparently.
Shorten your comments and I might pay attention to you. Same goes for Chris and his longwinded A$$
"The slogan "Forward!" reflected the conviction of European Marxists and radicals that their movements reflected the march of history, which would move forward past capitalism and into socialism and communism."

If it's extrapolated from the quote--as you imply that it is--please demonstrate how.
Certainly, "lying low" isn't what you're referring to.
If it's in there, fine; otherwise, such false claims can do nothing but hurt the Liberal cause:
It would be a way for Right-wingers to pounce and say that we are just as guilty of propaganda, as we say they are.

Who lies more? lol
Research -- learn to do it. The internet is bigger than Gather, Facebook and porno.
"(what's sad is people are able to "google" almost anything in the world they want to know.... but some people just.... don't..ignorance MUST be bliss )"
You don't want to know, you just want us to go off spinning our wheels.
"uh huh, yes I do!"
"Then what does it mean?"
"I'm not telling you!" (because I really don't know)
So what grade are you in? When you hit high school, things get way more interesting!
Again, insults are the tactic of the mentally feeble. I can tell that "thinking" isn't really your thing. That's why you're so hateful. It's hard to be nice when everyone around you displays higher thought process capacity. It's also hard to be civil or even social at all in situations in which you lack an understanding of the topic or lack the basic vocabulary to continue on with the topic.
I understand, and I want you to know that I donate to causes that help people like you. I do reach out to individuals who didn't get the education they deserved either because their parents homeschooled them improperly, they dropped out or they just wren't to fast on the upchuck if you know what I mean.
I'm a humanitarian, and as snarky as I can be. I just want you to know that I do feel your plight and you absolutely have my pity. There are organizations out there you can seek out to help with your problems and I donate to a lot of them, so who knows. Maybe someday I can help you.
but thank you again!
Now just a doggone minute, there, maree b. There is NO liberal on this site more arrogant than I am. Who the heck do you think you are, giving my title away without even so much as a how-dee-do?

Why would Obama call Rush a liar. W. never did that. W. had some class but Obama has no class. The Pres. is supposed to maintain the high ground and not act like a school yard bully battling in the mud. But that's eaxctly what Obama is, a bully. Obama was supposed to be a uniter and have the most transparent admin. He has been and is the gratest divider and has the most corrupt intentions and policies of any Pres. He has turned blacks against whites, poor against rich. All the hatred and class warfare can be laid solely on Obama. He is supposed to be the leader. But as we see he is no leader.
I am totally sick of, and will never forgive, people like Bob Beckel, Nancy Pelosi, Jeremiah Wright, Frederica Wilson, Maxine Waters, Harry Reid, Louis Farrakhan, Bill Ayers, Jimmy Hoffa, Al Sharpton…et al. They are directly responsile for hate, class warfare, and the end of polite debate. You can't debate these people. They are fanatics totally devoted to socialism, communism, or whatever white-washed term like progressivism you want to use. They have labeled us "enemies". What do you want to do to "enemies"? Kill them, that's what. They hate white conservative males and they want us dead and out of their way. They want anyone who doesn't believe what they do dead.
How many times did liberal democrats say they wanted W dead? How many said they wished Dick Chenney would die? They all did. We heard this every day for eight years. How do you liberal pukes feel about that. Well, I'm getting angry now. W. is one of my heros. I think W. and RR are two of the greatest Pres. there will ever be. Obama will go down as one of the worse, with Immy Carter second.
Oh, BTW Mr. Smith, Media Matters is a publication/blog/whutevah I've never read. And they're not leading this attack on th' long-winded Bloviator of the EIB. People like me are leading it. We don't need no schtinkin' Media Matters.
I don't mean to ruin your thread but I cant help asking this. Why is it that so many people of a conservative leaning appear to be so think? I am talking about the commentors on here. I had the same problem on Myspace when attempting to debate them. Facts appear to be an inconvenience to them. Many, if not most of them appear to be of limited intelligence. They seldom appear to actually put any thought into any of the feeble arguments that they attempt to make. They appear to resent science and to fear the art of logic and reason.... I could go on and on.
I honestly dont know how you manage to put up with them but I do admire your bravery when it comes to your willingness to constantly wade through the diarrhoea that they constantly produce on here and seem to want to pretend is reasoned logic..
And yeah, it's a bit of a headache to wade through all the dookie :|
Clark, I am aware that you are capable of breaking wind so lets keep it simple. Re-read my post, nice and slow, and perhaps this time round you will get it.....
As to Marx, I'm not a fan. He was in fact the originator of Communism. Marx a good guy, but understood? Nope. In Europe and the USA, unionism stole his thunder. It became unneedful to overthrow capitalism when those who did the work were actually paid for their work. In Russia, oppression was met with revolution; in the West, revolution became pointless when unions gained stature in the sociopolitical arena and Robber Baron oppresion was left on the side of the road with a flat tire.
In 2012 of course, the fat cats of Capitalism want to keep ALL their money instead of most of it. Some things never change, and each new generation must come to terms with the fact that the Constitution is a political document which does not outline what to do with our economy.
It gets old seeing the right-wingers interchange the two terms as it shows that they just don't know what they're talking about.
Yeah, when I told one that true Communism has never existed, their only response was to ask me for a "lesson" on Communism since I was "an expert." Uh, it's not my job to educate Conservatives on something they too could learn if/when they picked up a book.
Karma is a funny think. Clark, you brought up the radical Islamists. They would curbstomp the socialists if given the chance and there is a side of me that hears them crying to us for help, I'd just sit there in my best Ernst Stavro Blofeld way stroking a cat on my lap, an M-14 rifle at my side and one eye on the radar/ICBM screen (to contain them if need be) and loads of beer and popcorn. They in a way would do our work for us, but then they will turn on us hence my idea of containment. We used that logic in the 1980's, but it came back to bite us, but then again, during the Cold War, things were different and as the saying goes, "let tomorrow take care of itself, we need to worry about today."
However, I do have a compassionate side, I would help them out but they will have to meet my terms and conditions 110%.
like when he argued that any young woman who wants health insurance to cover her contraception must be a whore? Just asking.....
Absolutely. And Norquist was a buddy to Jack Abramoff, who is out of prison now and "reformed." And Abramoff had weekly meetings with Senators right before going to prison, including Rick Santorum.
Something is definitely wrong in this country when a "person" like Grover Norquist is calling the shots.
It's not rocket science.
Obama 2012: a sure thing :)
This is one of those trick, paradox thingies, right??
Like when someone says, "Everything I say is a lie....I'm lying."
I get it......good one, Huff Girl!!
I still don't get why liberal/progressives think that Rush Limbaugh is the voice of conservatives. That is such a hoot. The only time most of us even know what he's said is when some lib/prog points it out.
