EMBED

Previously:

Limbaugh: "When I said I hope Obama fails, this is exactly the kind of stuff I hoped would happen from Day 1"

Limbaugh on Obama: "I fearlessly said and still say 'I hope he fails' "

On Hannity, Limbaugh says "I don't hide from it, I do want and I still want Obama to fail"

Limbaugh repeats analogy that hoping Obama fails is like Steelers fan wanting Cardinals' QB to fail in Super Bowl

Limbaugh: "The dirty little secret ... is that every Republican in this country wants Obama to fail, but none of them have the guts to say so; I am willing to say it"

      So, it's entirely legitimate to imagine and propagate a worst-case-scenario storyline about something that might happen someday based solely on opinion and without a shred of supporting evidence just because this is a multi party system. Have I got that right? And to do this rather than offering other solutions to the problem under consideration?

      I only ask because I don't remember Rush Limbaugh reporting on Iraqi War protesters by saying that they were just part of the multi party system and completely within their rights to express their opinion.

      These hateful Republicans are out of their cotton-picking minds. What they are doing is inciting people or a person to act on their hate. It is clear they want someone, anyone to assassinate this president. This explains why they are not willing to wait for the next election. They want Obama out NOW. Have you ever heard of anyone treating a president as though he can't do anything right, even though he won the election by a wide margin? These Republicans talking heads are irresponsible and dangerous.
      God forbid, if something were to happen to Obama, all of these imbeciles will act like they don't know why anyone would want to hurt Obama.

      Hoping that the imposition of socialism fails here is far different from desiring failure on the battlefield where American soldiers are risking their lives.

        "Hoping that the imposition of socialism fails here is far different from desiring failure on the battlefield where American soldiers are risking their lives."



        EXCEPT -- once again, proudneoKKKon -- NOBODY DESIRED "FAILURE" on the battlefield.

          And, as for "hoping that the imposition of socialism fails here",
          We already have gov't control of the Armed Forces, the post office, education, national parks, Social Security, Meidcaid, Medicare, etc.

          I say you're about 220 years behind schedule . . .

        You're lying again pc. Nobody is "imposing socialism" on the US and nobody "desired failure" on the battlefield. You realize, of course, that claiming either one shows that you're a lunatic; claiming both together shows that you're a vitriolic lunatic deliberately ignoring reality.

      You know, in Marks defense,

      In his twisted little mind... I have no doubt that he believes that line of stupidity. To consider the source makes it easy to accept.
