Clinton Supporters going on Rush Limbaugh to bash Obama
Edited on Wed Jun-04-08 04:38 AM by democracy1st
It's happening more and more

Remember Ferraro,Now look who's using those same words
Limbaugh on Obama: His "only chance of winning is that he's black"

On the June 2 broadcast of his nationally syndicated radio program, while discussing Sen. Barack Obama's presidential candidacy, Rush Limbaugh asserted that the Democratic Party was "go with a veritable rookie whose only chance of winning is that he's black." As Media Matters for America noted, Limbaugh said on his May 21 broadcast that "Barack Obama is an affirmative action candidate" and asserted during his May 14 broadcast that "f Barack Obama were Caucasian, they would have taken this guy out on the basis of pure ignorance long ago."


Also during the June 2 broadcast, while referencing a May 26 column written by John Lott Jr., Limbaugh stated, "John Lott Jr. has this theory. He's done some research and found out that the growth of government can be traced to when women got the vote." Limbaugh later asserted, "The one observation you can make about this whole business, because he proved it. I mean, it's -- the growth of government started like crazy when women got the right to vote. Which just proves: Size does matter to 'em."




In his column, Lott claimed, among other things:

President Franklin Delano Roosevelt's New Deal -- often viewed as the genesis of big government -- really just continued an earlier trend. What changed before Roosevelt came to power that explains the growth of government? The answer is women's suffrage.


LIMBAUGH: We know that George Soros is involved with Obama, but there's somebody that's putting the words in his mouth. 'Cause you're right -- when he goes off the teleprompter, he is a different guy. He does not come off as the messiah, he doesn't come off as this great unifier. He has trouble articulating with a bunch of stutters and pauses and so forth. So -- but my point in telling you this is that there must be real animosity toward the Clintons at high levels of this party. To go with a veritable rookie whose only chance of winning is that he's black.

CALLER: Oh, absolutely. Well, you know what frustrates me the most is here you've got a candidate, Mrs. Clinton, that's done her duty, she's sat quietly for 20 years and been loyal to our party, and now look what she gets. I have a proposal that you may not like to hear, but if you'll hear me out on this. Mrs. Clinton --

LIMBAUGH: Well, I love listening to Democrat proposals.

CALLER: Well, you know, you guys are -- Republicans are upset about McCain and how he crosses the party line, but I think that he could do what's really good for the country and . Why not show the ultimate sign of American unity and national unity and join up with an unstoppable ticket? Clinton -- rather, a McCain-Clinton ticket?

1. Ok.....but we don't really care.
Hillary supporters will have to get over their messiah and themselves....or not.

We can't really care about it.

It is Obama's race to win or lose now.

Hillary is no longer relevant.

Her 18 million voters are not 18 million supporters, and therein lies the difference.

She will do what she needs to do in short order, or will have to choose to get out of politics altogether.

She will either lead her supporters to Obama like an effective leader could, or she'll have to become a spoiler. It's her call.

5. These aren't democrats so why bother paying any attention to them?
Look at the comment about doing her "duty" and "sitting quietly"for 20 years? What the f*&k does that even mean? It sounds like a ditto head talking.

10. well I hope I feel the same way you do in a couple of months
but its strange to see after Hillary met with Richard Mellon Scaife rightwing radio began focusing solely on Obama. And now Rush,Laura,Hannity and that whole lying crew is all of a sudden on the Clinton bandwagon. After years of relentless attacks now they have teamed up to demonize Obama.

8. Never believe what a "caller" says about her party affiliations or her real reasons
for calling. Personally, I don't think any actual democrat could call Rush Limbaugh without :puke: :puke: :puke"

14. Exactly.
Rush is a snake oil salesman and his callers are his shills and quite likely his PAID shills.

16. Real Clinton supporters/Democrats don't listen to Limbaugh
If someone claiming to be a Clinton supporter calls in to Limbaugh to trash Obama, then they are full of shit. Limbaugh and Co. have done more to trash her than any of Obama's surrogates ever have.

Likely, they only pretend to support Clinton because they drooled over the opportunity to rip her to shreds in the GE.
