Limbaugh's purported translation of Obama statement on Clinton: "I don't know why the B-I-itch is staying in"
SUMMARY: On his radio program, after airing comments by Sen. Barack Obama, in which he stated, "Senator Clinton can run as long as she wants," Rush Limbaugh said: "Can I translate that for you? 'I don't know why the B-I-itch is staying in. I feel like a damn hostage here. But I can't say it because she's a woman. And if I say that, they're going to jump down in my throat for being a sexist.'"
On the March 31 edition of his nationally syndicated radio show, Rush Limbaugh played a clip of Sen. Barack Obama's comments during a March 29 campaign stop in Johnstown, Pennsylvania, in which Obama said, "My attitude is that Senator Clinton can run as long as she wants. Her name's on the ballot and she is a fierce and formidable competitor and she obviously believes that she would make the best nominee and the best president. I think that, you know, she should be able to compete and her supporters should be able to support her for as long as they are willing or able." Limbaugh then stated: "Can I translate that for you? 'I don't know why the B-I-itch is staying in. I feel like a damn hostage here. But I can't say it because she's a woman. And if I say that, they're going to jump down in my throat for being a sexist.'"
From the March 31 edition of Premiere Radio Networks' The Rush Limbaugh Show:
LIMBAUGH: You gotta love these people. Now, Mrs. Clinton is -- you know, there are a lot of people who are saying that Operation Chaos is un-American. Mrs. Clinton has a totally different view, ladies and gentlemen. Mrs. Clinton in Indianapolis yesterday said this.
CLINTON [audio clip]: You know, there are some folks saying, "Well, we ought to stop these elections." I didn't think we believed that in America.
LIMBAUGH: No, it's un-American to force her out, you see. It's un-American for Mrs. Clinton to get out of the race. Sunday in San Jose during a -- California -- during a campaign rally, former president Bill Clinton.
PRESIDENT CLINTON [audio clip]: Don't you let anybody tell you that somehow we are weakening the Democratic Party by telling the people in Pennsylvania and North Carolina and Indiana and Kentucky and West Virginia and Montana and South Dakota and Oregon and Puerto Rico that they count, too. We are strengthening the Democratic Party. Chill out. We're going to win this election if we just chill out and let everybody have their say.
LIMBAUGH: He's standing up and endorsing Operation Chaos, ladies and gentlemen. "Let everybody vote. Keep this whole thing going. There's no reason it's un-American not to let these states next in line not have their votes. It's un-American not to let them count." Why should she get out? She's still in the running here. As long as she's got even a 1 percent chance, she's still in the running. And her chance is calculated to be at 5 percent.
Sunday in Johnstown, Pennsylvania, Senator Obama held a press conference, said this about Hillary dropping out of the race.

OBAMA: My attitude is that Senator Clinton can run as long as she wants. Her name's on the ballot and she is a fierce and formidable competitor --
LIMBAUGH: Hmm-mm.
OBAMA: -- and she obviously believes that she would make the best nominee and the best president.
LIMBAUGH: Hmm-mm.
OBAMA: I think that --
LIMBAUGH: Hmm-mm.
OBAMA: -- you know --
LIMBAUGH: Hmm-mm.
OBAMA: -- she should be able to compete and her supporters should be able to support her for as long as they are willing or able.
LIMBAUGH: Can I translate that for you? "I don't know why the B-I-itch is staying in. I feel like a damn hostage here. But I can't say it because she's a woman. And if I say that, they're going to jump down in my throat for being a sexist."
Because 45% of the country votes Rape-publican, and they just love this lying, racist, drug addicted, draft dodging, 3 times divorced, hypocritical, child molesting, fat, self loathing, misogynistic, stupid, college dropout. His 107 IQ places him in the top 1 percentile of his peer group, the only place where he can grab a little self esteem, false though it may be.
I pity his sheep.
Rick, could you please provide documentation that Rush is a child molester?
Markert surveys have constitently proven that Rush's audience is the most educated and well-informed audience on the radio.
Sorry, didn't mean for facts to get in the way of your name calling.
This must be one of the criterion required to escape the wrath of the WITH Patrol...
The offensive or misinforming remarks in question have to be "surprising" to be worthy of mention.
No, no, no. He meant to say he is a lying, racist, drug addicted, draft dodging, 3 times divorced, hypocritical, child molesting, fat, self loathing, misogynistic, stupid, college dropout with bad breath.
No, Rush - we're gonna jump down your throat for being an idiot.
And you're also a hypocrite who STILL hasn't told his listeners the truth about his arrest in Pittsburgh in the company of a male prostitute back in the '70s, when he was working under the pseudonym "Jeff Christie".
Since Rush is using the B-word...may I ask, what ever happened to the Mrs. Limbaughs...can anyone track them down? Did he think they were B's? Are they permitted to speak about the Oxyman? Or will they lose there money?
Hey, Rushs' intern who is reading this, find out and get back to us or will the real MAN Rush tell us. P.S. Ask him about "Jeff Christie"? And tell him that he is not a nice person.
Oh, c'mon now, quit talking stupid. Humor is allowed. Let us know when you come up with an example of humor.
Anyone who calls MMfA "fascist" has no clue what that word means.
Probably has no clue about most other words, too.
Republicans and coservative have no sense humor. You guys wouldn't know wit if beat you in a chess match. You say vile, distgusting things for your own little ignorant band troglodytes to snigger at, and then smile and say "just kidding" when you get called out on it by decent folk. It's not only NOT FUNNY, it doesn't even qualify as HUMOR to anyone who knows the difference! AND YOU'RE NOT JOKING IF YOU MEAN IT SO QUIT TRYING TO CLAIM THAT IT'S ALL A JOKE! We're not as stupid as we think you are, so don't think you're fooling anyone!
Hard to hear this & not think that Obama comes off sounding a tad patronizing & condescending. While his surrogates keep insisting Clinton should get out of the race, he tries to sound like he's above it all. I'm not buying it. Just the other day he was saying this primary was like a movie that ran too long. Gee wonder what he meant by that? How about Hillary was prolonging the race to the nomination he thinks should already be his?
This reminded me of when Obama said to Hillary: "You're Likable Enough"
I've gotta agree, Jeter. You know from my posts over the years that I'm generally not one to sit on the fence, however, I haven't made up my mind who I'd rather have on the Dem ticket.
I like Obama, and think he might be better at foreign relations and ending the war, but I think Clinton could do a better job with the economy and domestic problems.
Being from Michigan, I may not get a chance to vote in a primary anyway, but I'm not too concerned that this process is taking too long. There is plenty of time for the gloves to come off after the primaries. And that's where the real fight always begins.
Obama sometimes comes across very personable & magnanimous. Other times he seems aloof & phony. I really can't get a good read on the guy's personality. But I suppose the same thing could be said about most other politicians...
Yeah the Dem side is tough this year. I'm really more for Hillary at this point, I simply think that overall she's a tad better, plus I see Bill Clinton as an unofficial advisor in the White House as a plus.
However, if Obama gets the nomination & wins the general election I think it'll work out just fine. A lot will depend on who he picks as VP, & the cabinet he puts together.
The way I look at it if the US survived George W., anything & anyone has to be better!
I hope they give you guys in Michigan another chance to vote. I think thats only fair.
misterfancypants,
Is this the kind of uplifting commentary you describe as 'staying on topic'?
Just need some clarifacation please......
This right-winger wants Hillary to stay in as long as possible so the bloodbath continues on the Dem side. Let Hillary and Barack attack each other saving us the trouble. Once she drops out, the attacks stop.
We wouldn't have been treated to all the fun of the crazy reverend and dodging sniper fire stories.
I hope Barack leads in the pledged delegates and Hillary takes it to a floor fight. Hillary and Bill cook up some scam to steal the nomination out from under Obama. Blacks leave the Democrat party and it is a permanent minority.
Please stay in Hillary. You go girl!!!
