From the July 23 edition of Fox News' On the Record with Greta Van Susteren:

Rush stupidly uses the "I believe they are doing it on purpose" card. No facts, just opinion.
Rush is fine with his life, why change? Do the dittoheads think he cares about them...'It's the advertisers , stupid.'
Rush only has the "opinion card" which gives him no seat at the real decision making table.
Rush should run for office so his words would have real meaning.
Why don't the dittoheads convince him to run for President or some public office. We need him in Washington. Of course, a pay cut would be in order.
Back when I was young and naive enough to think that he was mostly being honest and not lying with every breath he drew, I used to think that Limbaugh SHOULD run for office. I mean... the guy just makes so much SENSE! He could fix EVERYTHING!!!
But like I said: I was young and naive and didn't yet realize that he lies with almost every breath he draws.
The American people should be outraged by this kind of talk from professional people. These idiots want the President to fail, at the expense of the American people, just like dumb-ass Sanford, who refused to accept Stimulus money to help people/state in need? This fool wants Obama Healthcare reform to be defeated even though millions of people across America are suffering with the current system that is also hurting the economy.
These un-American bastards don't care about the American people, they care more about politics. Obama is exposing these people for who they really are and what they represent. It's up to the people to open their eyes and stop accepting what the conservative media is feeding them..
Obama has often talked about social and economic justice, making the things more fair. There is no way he can pull all the people on the bottom up so the only way to level things is by dragging the top down.
Except for the elite ruling class that knows what's best for the ignorant masses.
You have no credibility and nor to Republicans. Rupublicans don't want Healthcare Reform because they are only for the rich and they want to defeat Obama's Healthcare Bill so they can hurt him politically. Don't you get it?
After 8 years of staying the course with an administration that was so inflexible it refused to adapt even when its policies were not working, talkers like Rush and Hannity talk now, after 7 months, about how Obama "lied" during his campaign. Every setback, Gitmo, the Irag withdraw timetable, health care, is held up as another example of how he is not fulfilling his campaign promises. So he's either a liar or inept, take your pick.
I agree with those who say the logic here is flawed. To what end is he ruining the country, so he can be president of a third world failed socialist state? For what purpose? And clearly the "powerful elite" that multi-millionaires Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity keep raising as boogie men includes them, doesn't it?! This kind of rhetoric is wrong, it is stirring up a nervous population. It is also providing the ammo, no pun intended, that some nut will need to assassinate the President "for the good of the country."
Once upon a time Rush would have been content taking a few jabs at Obama, thwarting him politically, and keeping his flock in check, organizing them for a big turn out in the election to re-install a Republican majority - the way the process works in this country. But in the last few months he and his clones have ratcheted things way beyond the point of rational. When you throw in the birther nonsense on top of this, he is paving the way for some loon to take the bait and rid the US of this illegitimate, socialist, black Muslim Kenyan radical who is out to take your guns, tell you what kind of car you can drive, prevent you from seeing your doctor, while stealing all the power and wealth for himself. It's dangerous stuff, and in my opinion, borders on sedition.
Spoken by John Wayne about President Kennedy. I vaguely remember a long ago time when conservatives had integrity, when they realized that patriotism meant acknowledging the President whether you voted for him or not, and wanted him to do a good job because it would be good for the whole nation and not just a few selfish individuals. It's a good thing John Wayne didn't live to see what you've done to the conservative movement, Rush.
