Limbaugh suggested Obama needs Secret Service protection because of "Clinton Inc."
Limbaugh suggested Obama needs Secret Service protection because of "Clinton Inc."
On the May 7 broadcast of his nationally syndicated radio show, Rush Limbaugh defended his "Barack, The Magic Negro" song -- a parody mocking 2008 Democratic presidential hopeful and Sen. Barack Obama (IL) -- and said, in response to reports about the controversy this parody has generated: "If I were to think about Barack Obama being in any trouble -- needing Secret Service -- I would look to Clinton Inc. before I looked at me. Try that, drive-by media. Get that out there."

3. It is always the same old tripe...Any time an R gets into ...
Edited on Tue May-08-07 06:30 AM by rasputin1952
something they can't get out of, bring up Clinton. Used to be Hitler was the only thing that triggered the "escape from the discussion I am losing" button...it has been Clinton for years, and will continue to be so.

BUT...People are sick of that tired old meme, so it will soon become an athema to even those that insist on being bushites. One good thing, after bush gets out...everyone will blame him, as they should be doing now...:D

Pretty soon, any mention of Bill Clinton will invoke Godwin's Law...:rofl:

4. And The Clenis Looks Bad Now???
I guess things must have been real, real evil in the 90's...so much so that Hillary is beating any of the Rudy McRomneys by 20 plus points and Bill's popularity ratings DOUBLE that of the manchild...the supposed "savior" of the presidency and the Repugnicans. Welcome to what happens when a drunk hits bottom and keeps going...

As times get worse, expect more of the Clenis to come out...between the fear of Hillary to the usual diversionary tactics to avoid taking responsibility for their manchild and their own stupidity and greed. They don't need facts here, they've already created a fantasy narrative that always connects all evil to both Clintons now and it's Pavlovian that if you want a right wing monkey to jump, just waive the Clenis.

8. yeah, it was bad... all that employment... all that creation of high-paying jobs...

good international standing and a general time of prosperity. You could still buy a house for under a quarter million, and gas was a buck ten.

Sure, it wasn't perfect, but since when was it ever perfect? Clinton had policies that I really didn't like. He continued the WoD, for one. But it the worst moments during the Clinton presidency are worlds better than the best moments (if any) during chimpenfurher's presidency, IMO.

7. I had mentioned that a few months ago on here
Every and anything against a Democrat, be it a Swift-Boat like smear or death threats against another candidate, until the primary is decided will be blamed by the media as originating from the Clinton camp.

9. Well, they did murder Vince Foster
Dan Burton proved that by shooting a watermelon. I thought this was common knowledge.

12. Hmm, that gives me an idea
I can videotape myself shooting a watermelon and pronounce that it proves George H.W. Bush shot JFK, and then video me flying one of those remote control airplanes and say that it proves George W. Bush did the same with the four planes on 9/11. Post the video on YouTube and start linking to it on every liberal website...

10. Rush has convinced the freepers that the Clintons are behind all attacks on Obama
They are saying that the attacks on Obama aare coming from the far left who are trying to knock out so Hillary can be the nominee.

They are so naive that they don't realize that Hillary doesn't have a lot of support from the far left who thinks she's too moderate.

You can't talk any sense into them because if Rush says it it must be true.

11. I think that the Secret Service needs to use "intensive questioning"
to find out where Rush Limbaugh is getting this information from ...

Also, don't you think that all these fright-wingers (taken from a poster on MMFA) who appear to have inside information on what terrorists are thinking and planning, all these people should be investigated for their "ties" to terrorist organizations, since they have the inside track?

14. If every body this excuse for a human would sue
his butt he would have so many law cases he would not have time to slur anybody else. WHY do people let him get by with it. He can't deny he says it, it has been recorded.
