  ROFL at that clip of Limbaugh flailing his arms.
  
  ... also, wasn't it the other way around? Wasn't Limbaugh the first to throw punches -- err, cheap shots -- at the White House?

    You might be right. I guess Obama has nothing better to do than to get into a p*ss fight with a radio talk show host. Poor, scared Obama.

        Anger and fear go hand in hand, especially for those with limited intellect.

        You're talking about "fear and anger" while you defend a man who gets paid to rant about libruls after he wormed out of Vietnam by way of a butt-pimple? WOW.

        I don't fear misinformation. The truth ALWAYS prevails. Obama shows fear and fights back because he knows the truth when he hears it. He is a scared, angry black man who was elected by virtue of his race and nothing more( and he knows it ).

        That's it! The half-white guy who was raised by white people and didn't get the majority of the white vote was only elected by virtue of his race! That would explain all those fully black candidates who were successfully elected. Ah, how I remember the Keyes administration.

        Puppie,
        
        What did you refer to Obama as an "angry black man?" When Clinton bothered you, did you bring his race into the equation?
        
        If he was just elected because of his race, are you saying the same thing about Michael Steele and the RNC?
        
        How can you say in a society where a racist like Limbaugh is so popular that race was the deciding factor in getting Obama elected?

    He has been unrelenting and always hides his bigotry and sexism behind..."I didn't write that...someone else did... and I'm just singing it or.... repeating it or ...saying it out loud". He never has the integrity to say what he is...a deceptive, duplicitous, unindicted drug addict who loves to stir the pot without bringing any balance to the discussion. But clowns don't have to do that...they just entertain.

  Gee, the way I see it, the Fixed News crew is the one doing the punching, and the Obama Administration is the one taking the hits, a lot of them being sucker punches, too. Let's not forget that Rush addressed that big Conservative convention and really treated Michael Steele like a lackey, so it wasn't hard to portray him as the most powerful figure in the Conservative movement.

  If anybody had any brains at Fox (which is impossible), they would lay low for awhile, show some reports on strippers, have some body language experts on, talk about nothing (which isn't too far off from what they usually talk about) and let this blow over. By playing the victim they're allowing people to think for a second about their content. And that might be fatal.

  Mr Wallace, do your family name a service and approach this interview as you would an interview with the President. If you want us to believe that you are any kind of a journalist at all and your network is known for ",just asking the tough questions," then spend the remainder of this day at the MMfA website cataloguing the things he has said over the years that these determined people have taken the time to document.
  
  I am sure that there are a few readers here who would even be glad to give you a list of questions that we would like answers to, regarding Mr Limbaugh.
  
  If you treat this as a day in the park for Mr Limbaugh, then you are no journalist, sir. This is your opportunity to prove to all of us here, that our opinions of you are unwarranted. If this interview turns out to be a slobber-fest then you will have severed the last remaining shred of respect that many of us here still hold out for you, for your father's sake.

    The POTUS should be more dignified than that but I guess it just proves the 'theory' that Obama and Rahm are just a couple of low-life Chicago thugs. They probably know where Jimmy Hoffa is 'buried'.

      Only thugs defend themselves against dishonest attacks, kids. In fact, only thugs do any of the things the troll disapproves of. The troll is also not too great with grammar if he thinks it makes any sense to put the word "buried" in quotes in that context.

        Without Wiki'ing the information, either a double or single quote can be used, for instance (normal usage):
        
        He told me "I was told by Limbaugh 'Obama is a Nazi', then that 'Obama is a socialist'", so I knew he had not yet gotten his GED.
        
        It IS reversible, 'I was told by Limbaugh "Obama is...

        Don't expect too much from p-rainbows. He just seems bored so he comes to post BS to see if he can get under someones skin. There really is no logic behind his rants other than "I hate Obama". Today he calls him a thug tomorrow he will call him weak and ineffective,it all depends on what his puppet masters are talking about that day. Meaningful debate...Naw, just regurgitation and hate.

  Fox and Limbaugh have been attacking Obama since before he announced he was running for President!!They have beenpretty much in attack mode 24/7 since the election and more intensesince Inauguration.Republican senators/congressmen and the party chairman have apologized or defended Limbaugh.Even this week Senator King sidetracked a congressional hearing on NFL safety to blast thecommissioner about Limbaugh!!!WHY do so many people defend this racist?He goes on arant for hours every day and his attacks are well documented yet Chris Wallace and this idiot Doocy are making him a victim of the big bad Whitehouse and the POTUS.Did they hear Limbaugh call the POTUS a little boy/manchild repeatedly a couple days ago!?
