Discussing Limbaugh's "fail" comments with Rove, FOX's Camerota says Carville "said basically the same exact thing about President Bush, so this is a double standard"

      Well, hey, fine if it makes them feel better about themselves.

      Since Fox News has NOONE on their programs with other views than their own, it really just because a big therapy session for like-minded lunatics.

      Because we all know that what the Carville story REALLY touches us that Dems are more PATRIOTIC than Repubs.

      Becasue as soon as the planes hit NYC, Carville said, "Never mind, I take it back".

      Let's wait for the day that Limbaugh would ever do that.

        It is group therapy. That is what they are doing. They express, you decide.

        The radical right really do a miserable job at making a cognizant analogy.  

         Drugbaugh is embraced by the entire radical right party, was made an honorary member of Congress, and is feared by every Con and GOOPer.   Carville who?

      It's utterly surreal that they get Karl Rove to decry nasty partisan comments. He being the guy who said that Democrats want to offer sympathy to terrrorists. The rest is the usual Fox rumor mongering without specifics.

      Is it just me, or did Turdblossom just essentially argue that 9/11 was an attack on THE FREAKIN' BUSH MALADMINISTRATION?

       

      Jeez, and here I thought that it was an attack on our whole nation. I wasn't aware that bin Laden's attack was of such a partisan nature.

       

      It's almost unbelievable that this souless pig would lecture the current administration about righteous conduct by a presidential staff, seeing as how he and Scooter and Armitage leaked Valerie Plame's covert CIA identity in order to punish her husband... Joe Wilson... for criticizing the Bush Maladministration's war-mongering lies. Naturally, this roiling hypocracy went unnoted by the irony-deficient Faux News barkers. They are beyond shameless.

        And wouldn't the total meltdown of the world economy and widespread poverty be enough of a "9/11 incident" to hope Obama succeeds?

      Carville said it, it was wrong then, and then he took it back later. So, it is a little bit different, but I don't remember Carville going on "tour" with his I hope he fails meme, like Rush, nor did he say it more than a single time, and here we have Rush repeating it over, and over, and over, and over again. I mean, there is a difference here.

      Carville was wrong when he said. Rush was wrong when he said it. One person figured out they were wrong, but I doubt the other one will.

        Let us be clear about Carville: He said NEVERMIND MINUTES after his statement about not wishing for Bush W to succeed.

        Literally, it was uttered minutes before 9/11 hit. That is why it never made it into the maintream.

        He said, "I take it back."

      I bristle to admit this, but one thing he said is true.  It is unworthy of a sitting president and his staff & resources to involve themselves in doing anything on the level of monitoring and attacking a media personality, even if it is one so loathsome, dyspeptic, and, frankly, dangerous as Limbaugh.  That is why we have sites like this.

      That being said, sometimes I worry about this country; freedom of speech and free market should have destroyed Limbaugh a long time ago.  Yet, people like Sarah Palin and Karl Rove, who are hooked up in the darkest, most evil corners (and sometimes in broad daylight) with people like Ailes, Limbaugh, and Hannity, are the ones that had that poor old woman at that McCain rally convinced that Pres. Obama is a Muslim terrorist.
