McCain To Obama: Leave Limbaugh Alone!»

Over the past week, the fealty of GOP lawmakers to hate radio host Rush Limbaugh has become increasingly clear. They have been reluctant to criticize his comment that he hopes Obama fails, and those who have spoken out have been forced to retract their statements and beg forgiveness from the hate radio host.

Today on Fox and Friends, Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) further circled the wagons, saying that Obama shouldn’t have made critical remarks about Limbaugh (which were made in a private meeting with Republicans and then leaked to the press):

McCAIN: I don’t know why he would do that. Mr. Limbaugh is a voice of a significant portion of our conservative movement in America. He has a very wide viewing audience. He is entitled to his views, and he has a lot of people who listen very carefully to him. I don’t know why that the President would take him on. He’s part of the political landscape, and he plays a role.

1. McCain learned his lesson like a good little boy

when he tried to call out "agents of intolerance", and then had to go running back to Jerry for forgiveness a few years later. McCain is just jealous that Obama has the luxury of not having to suck up to Rush 24/7.

43. GOP and Rush

GOP and Rush parallel the Iraqi Shiia and the Mullah Al Sader. Reps are such scared followers. They have this no-immediate-family, drug-in-brain, blowhard leading them by the nose ring since the early 90s. Amazing. More amazing forty-some percent of voters are Republicans.

[orleans]

2. mcidiot sucking off rush. YUCK! n/t

[driver8]

3. Why would he do it? Because Limpballs is a hate filled racist, that's why.

The idiots that listen to this douchebag are the same idiots that voted for McCain; "idiots" is a polite term for what these people are.

[CubicleGuy]

4. Correction, Senator McCain: "He WAS part of the political landscape, and he NO LONGER plays a role."

Maybe we can actually get to the point where, when you look up the word "irrelevant" in the dictionary, Rush Limbaugh's picture will be there.

[Systematic Chaos]

5. According to *some* 20 lb. hunks of dead flesh hanging off senators' cheeks...

... John McCain is a fucking idiot.

According to Fucks & Friends, that's newsworthy!

[monmouth]

6. I would think Rush would/should be embarrassed by this, but then that's me...n/t

[Voice for Peace]

7. gawd what a creep. Vengeful when he lost to GW, he became a liberalish mavericky kinda guy.

Now he's a Limbaugh conservative.

:puke:

[thunder rising]

8. I'm glad this video is in the archives ... just wait McCain. Who's up in AZ to challenge this *

[groovedaddy]

9. Let me get this straight, Slimebaugh gets to attack whomever he wants, when he wants to

But no one, particularly the President, can say anything bad about him?
What a freak'n joke!

[Jefferson23]

10. You bet that creep speaks significantly as a tool for the RNC and corporate

whores in this country, that is who McCain protects too. No surprise here.

[BattyDem]

11. Good! The more the GOP defends him ...

the more it looks like Limbaugh is leading the party, which is not good for them.

I admit that I couldn't figure out why Obama brought Limbaugh into this. I thought it was very silly ... but he played this brilliantly! He proved that the GOP has no real leader because if they did, that leader would have stood up and said, "Limbaugh doesn't set policy for the Republican party." Instead, we've got a bunch of GOP "leaders" doing everything they can to defend a freakin' radio host!

:rofl:

[Rude Horner]

19. Ding ding ding! We have a winner

Exactly!! What this incident has shown is that the Republicans are a slave to a radio talk show host.

[Taverner]

12. Ladies and Gentlemen, we certainly dodged a bullet keeping that loser out of the White House

Can't he just get cancer and die already?

I kid! I kid! (not really)

[infidel dog]

18. I'll say we dodged a bullet. More like an artillery shell

I want to weep when I contemplate that bristly little shitclown occupying the White House. I'm glad you're not really kidding about a suitable ending for him, either. On a strictly aesthetic note, has anyone here noticed the resemblance between McCain and the Lady in the Radiator from David Lynch's "Eraserhead"???

[navarth]

27. and yet...how many fucking people voted for this shithead?

that really disgusts me.

"No one ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American public."
- H. L. Mencken

[Taverner]

28. And yet how many voted hoping for President Sarah?

:banghead:

[navarth]

29. indeed

[Snotcicles]

13. I think the First Lady should invite Rush Limbaugh's ex-wives to the Whitehouse

for coffee and some girl talk.

[mascarax]

38. ...and there's quite a few too, right?

Loved how Al Franken always brought up Rush's 3 (?) wives constantly. I think there was a timeline too (in the great tome, "Rush Limbaugh Is a Big Fat Idiot"). Hmm...maybe I should send McCain a copy...not sure where to send though since he has so many addresses.

[Hubert Flottz]

14. Leave Abu Musab al-Lameballs Alone...

Johnny will suck up to anybody under the sun, if there's something in it for him. That's why he went around hugging Bush in front of the entire country after Bush and Rove attacked him and his family in campaign 2000. We're lucky McCain will never be president.

Edit...A guy that picks Sarah Palin as a running mate is not playing with a full deck.

[NOW tense]

15. I thought this video was going to be a spoof

with the Britney Spears fan. yelling leave Limbaugh alone.

[ProgrezivIndie]

16. "McCain To Obama: Leave Limbaugh Alone!" myself to:

McLuzr and Limblob ... ya'll lost big time, so STFU. :spank:

You will be assimilated, resistance is futile!

[global1]

17. Then If He Is Part Of The Political Landscape - He's Fair Game.....nt

[acmavm]

20. Who cares what Loser McCain says? I know I sure as hell don't.

[LiberalLovinLug]

21. Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Leave Rush Alone!

[IntravenousDemilo]

22. ThinkProgress is going to have to learn how to reduce their videos to a manageable size.

This is taking forever to load.

[Piewhacket]

23. Piewhacket to McCain: Go F* yerself, bubba, you lost.

[graywarrior]

24. Yawn.

He's soooooo inspiring.

[demoborn47]

25. Oh I'm sorry John...

... didn't see you there. Are you still around? What are you up to nowadays? Trying to get back in the public eye after the country and your party all but forgot about you. Poor you, all you get is a chance to defend a fat lunatic. Is what you've been reduced to, appearing on Faux Noise for Rush? Wow, poor John.... poor pathetic nutty John. The weather up here is great in case you were wondering.

[EnviroBat]

26. "the Conservative Movement"

More like a bowel movement.

[veganlush]

30. and now the RNC picked a black leader...

so I guess now the displaced leader, Limbaugh, will have to bend over and grab his ankles...

[SlingBlade]

31. Limbaugh & McInsane= LOSERS

:nopity: Cry me a friggin river

[olegramps]

32. What do you expect from some phony war hero and wife deserter.

McCain is C-sucker first class.

[Cirque du So-What]

33. 'Strategical'?

Blonde fluffy frou frou FAUX bobblehead invents new word!

[rep the dems]

34. Back to being a coward I see. nt

[jimmybama]

35. John Boy, you are sad!

You honestly think Obama gives a flying fuck what this loser
wants. It was Limpdick that put his dog in the fight. I'm sure
Limpdick can handle the heat of the kitchen but not you John
(Rubber stamp) McCain

[Ticonderoga]

36. It's very difficult to believe

the blonde bimbo on fox and friends was actually crowned Miss America....she must have fared especially well in the scowling part of the contest. Her eyes just look angry.

[DWilliamsamh]

37. Strategical? Get a dictionary Barbie. (n/t)

[RedCloud]

39. And where is Obama's presidential honeymoon?

Something the thugs fail to note when they bash him.

[burning rain]

40. Yes, leave Rush alone!

He has three bags of McDonald's to eat!

[raysr]

41. What is making these fucking

repukes feel so empowered? Is this a testing of Obama to see how far they can push before the dems fold? From their past actions(dems) I can see how they would feel that way. It's really way past time to kick ass. That black asshole the repukes enlisted today threatened the dems.

Stand up to the repukes!

[Seldona]

42. So he wants the President, as well as America, to fail as well?

And for what? Political power. Period.

How much more anti-American can you get?

[humbled_opinion]

44. Its way past time

to shut down hate speech in America. Limbaugh is a Racist pure and simple, If he is their leader then that explains alot. Remember the Mcnabb incident.
