Steyn: Obama advocated defeat in Iraq; by contrast, "Rush ... talk[ing] about Obama failing" "is entirely legitimate"

From the September 2 broadcast of Premiere Radio Networks' The Rush Limbaugh Show:

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"
