White House fires back at Rush Limbaugh

By Sam Youngman

The Speaker of the House won't mention his name, but the White House has shown a willingness to invoke the name of radio host Rush Limbaugh whenever challenged.

Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) won't comment on anything the hero of conservatives has to say ? and he has a lot to say ? but the White House on Monday was only too happy to respond to Limbaugh's repeated assertion over the weekend that he hopes President Obama's presidency fails.

White House press secretary Robert Gibbs, who last month blasted CNBC host Rick Santelli from the podium in the briefing room, challenged reporters on Monday to ask Republicans if they agree with Limbaugh's desire.

"Do they want to see the president's economic agenda fail? You know, I bet there are a number of guests on television throughout the day and maybe into tomorrow who could let America know whether they agree with what Rush Limbaugh said this weekend."

Gibbs said he thought "it would be charitable to say he doubled down on what he said in January in wishing and hoping for economic failure in this country."

"I can only imagine what might have been said a few years ago if somebody might have said that on the other side relating to what was going on in this country or our
endeavors overseas," Gibbs said.

He added that the audience at the Conservative Political Action Conference in Washington, at which Limbaugh spoke over the weekend, seemed to embrace Limbaugh's wish for Obama's failure, saying that Limbaugh's "notion of presidential failures seemed to be quite popular in the room in which he spoke."

After Gibbs launched into Santelli in late February, challenging that the CNBC host had not actually read the stimulus bill he was criticizing, a number of Democrats and Republicans expressed surprise in e-mails to The Hill that Gibbs would elevate such a critic by battling with him from the White House podium.

When asked Monday why he would "elevate" Limbaugh by addressing his criticisms from the podium, Gibbs said Limbaugh "elevated himself."

"He's got, I understand, a fairly popular radio show," Gibbs said.

He added: "I don't think it's a crazy question to ask about the commenting on whether or not somebody that seems to be maybe, for lack of a better word, a national spokesperson for conservative views and many in the Republican Party, what do I think about or what does this White House think about him on at least two separate occasions in front of large and applauding audiences seeking the failure of the president's economic agenda?"

Antonia Ferrier, a spokeswoman for House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio), said Gibbs was trying to create a distraction by responding to Limbaugh.

"What we are seeing is a desperate attempt by Democrats to distract attention away from a multi-trillion dollar spending spree taking place in Washington," Ferrier said. "Creating a boogeyman to change the subject does nothing to alter the fact that there are 9,000 earmarks in the omnibus spending bill, that the economic stimulus bill contained no Republican input or that their budget would increase taxes on all Americans."

There are only two things that we can know for sure when someone brings up Rush Limbaugh as any kind of reference...

1. The man is a drug abuser that didn't have the personal fortitude to illegally obtain his own drugs to abuse.

2. He is only really concerned with garnering ratings, no matter what he says, when, why, and how, to keep in the public light.

The thing I find most funny about him - in a sad way - is that he ridiculed ALL drug abusers, before he was found to be a drug abuser - and used his hired help to obtain them for him.

Next reference? How about someone with some credibility and not a drug abuser background and a ratings only agenda? And any time you care to respond to my points about Rush - feel free. Although you can't realize it - you continue to be a joke...but keep up the good work...:mj07:

I never disagree with him, ever...he is rehabilitated now

He paid for his drug abuse, do you see the thing on the side of his head so he can hear?

The fact that you always agree with a person - especially one who has all day to craft a position with the only intent to draw attention to himself and maintain his listenership says a lot about you. It's easy to have a three hour show, have many hired hands scouring every possible news release to create a position purely to create interest in himself, it's not admirable, it's not impressive, it's not even true in many instances. But, it does maintain a following, no doubt. He is one of many who sit around and take potshots at others, with no repercussions, and no personal decisions to make that have any bearing on anything. Nothing he does really matters in the big picture - he just commentates on what happens in the real world. To blindly agree with someone whose sole purpose in life is to create positions to make money for himself is certainly one way to go through life. Not something I would do, but so be it.

He's rehabilitated? How do you know this? Because he said he is? Because you want him to be? Because of what? He paid for his drug abuse and illegal drug obtaining? Did he go to jail? He surely would hold others - and did - to that standard. He is a hypocrite in many ways, and you always agree with him. What does that say? The fact that he still has a pulpit after his embarrassing display of weaknesses and hypocrisy - and is still looked at as a leader of a way of thinking - is pretty sad, IMO, FWIW.

He paid for his drug abuse? Because he can't hear now? Okay - if that's good enough for you, so be it. Just watch who you hold to a high standard and ridicule in the future - I would suggest. I can only imagine if Olberman, Matthews, or one of the non-worship-worthy hosts would have committed these crimes. How you would have howled...

It's a joke, plain and simple. Your man is a fraud, and it says a lot about you that you blindly follow him. Don't let common sense dissuade you, comrade...!

What about Obama's cocaine use ? That OK because he was under privileged when he used.

 

[Chadman]

My point was not about Obama, it was discussing the point of the thread and the blind support of the topic. Of course it's easier to change the subject - the one at hand is nothing more than an embarrassment. Thanks for playing...:violin:

 

[Eddie Haskell]

W did cocaine, Cheney was a drunk. Why did the right believe Bush when he said he was born again? To me, his actions as president seemed like he was stoned.

Limbaugh vs. President Obama
Posted: 03:40 PM ET

From CNN's Sarah Parker


Conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh challenged President Obama to a verbal showdown Wednesday.
(CNN) ? Conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh challenged President Obama to a verbal showdown Wednesday, calling on him to visit his talk show for an "intelligent, open discussion" on issues like health care and taxes.

"If you can win at this, then come here and beat me at my own game, and get rid of me once and for all, and show all the people of America that I am wrong," said Limbaugh. "If you take me out, if you can wipe me out in a debate and prove to the rest of America that what I say is senseless and wrong, do you realize you will own the United States of America?":142smilie

Limbaugh also accused the White House of orchestrating an attack on him, telling his listeners that the Obama team is demonizing the radio host since Bush left office. He said the effort was being spearheaded by White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel, who Limbaugh refers to as the "power behind the throne.":142smilie

"Don't let his effeminate nature and his ballerina past mislead you on this. He may look effeminate (he was a ballerina at one time) but he has the feral instincts of a female rat defending its young," Limbaugh said.:scared

"I'm calling. I'm ready. I'll do everything I can to facilitate it. You're a very courageous man, Mr. President. I am, after all, just The Last Man Standing," Limbaugh said.

In January, Limbaugh called on the president to sign on to his ?bi-partisan? stimulus plan, which would increase government spending for roughly half the country, and cut taxes for the other half.
............................................................

Rush , hate to tell you this.

but they are going to destroy you.

Head of the Republican party :142smilie

Carville and his buddys will know what to do.

 

[Chadman]

Gee, what a strong commentary from the opportunist. Hey, come and give me even more attention than anyone deserves...I can say absolutely anything in a face to face, and you can't - so, come on my show!

What a joke. He will, eventually, burn himself out. I wonder how many painkillers and how much juice he has to take these days to stay in the limelight?

But, this is not news to most. I should just let it be - but this guy really deserves all the ridicule he gets, IMO, FWIW. Brilliant maneuvering, to place him squarely in the limelight - and real sensible conservatives have to be cringing at him going for even more...

 

[Old School]

an obese person telling me what is right and wrong..

please..

 

[hedgehog]

Rush would rip Obama a new asshole, trust me the left is fucking with the wrong person, Limbaugh will not lose. The left is purposely attacking a private citizen to distract from what is really going on in Washington. Obama is too big a pussy to debate Hannity or Rush

 

[hedgehog]

 

[Chadman]

You are delusional if you think that a professional talker, with nothing AT ALL more to do than prepare for a face to face scenario, controlled, on his own show will ever get a chance to do that. Comparing a blathering talk show host like Rush, Hannity, Olberman or Matthews in some kind of head to head competition with a sitting President is ludicrous.

Rush is a very successful person. He is a master at getting attention, but to put him on any kind of pedestal considering his lying, cheating, drug abusing background says more about your standards than anything. You worship a drug abusing, opportunistic talk show host. And continue to preach conservative, moral values - as does he. WHICH IS A JOKE.

I will go on record right now in predicting more embarrassingly negative things come out about Rush in the coming months if he continues to try to expand his horizons at the expense of a group of Democratic strategists.

But, congratulations in promoting the value of a lying, cheating drug abuser that had his own hired help obtain his drugs for him. I guess your value system can allow for virtually anything if it helps your argument.

Cheers! :weed: :drinky: :s7:

Rush has made a career of hiding in his compound and not having any guests on his show of opposing views. He will get destroyed in a debate setting. That is why he has avoided one all these years.

Also hard to take someone serious who railed against drug users over the years. Saying they should all be thrown in jail no questions asked.

But I guess it was alright for him to abuse drugs because he was such a man about it he used his maid to go get it for him.

Rush is a p.o.s of historic porportions. Rush is nothing but a fat racist sexist drug addict. And he is the voice of the republican party?
