Holy cow. Limbaugh commending Obama for getting OBL and bringing back proof.

[dkf]

Limbaugh added that Obama was clearly the only one who wanted to send an actual team in to hunt down bin Laden and that most of the military brass just wanted to scorch the facility where the terrorist had been staying.

"President Obama perhaps the only qualified member in the room insisted on the special forces. Nobody else ," Limbaugh continued. "Our military wanted to go in there and just scorch the earth leaving no evidence of anything but President Obama single-handedly understood what was at stake here."

Limbaugh's comments come after reports that Obama had rejected a plan to bomb the facility where bin Laden was staying. According to those reports, Obama wanted proof that bin Laden had been killed. Limbaugh praised Obama for choosing to send a team — contrary, Limbaugh said, to what Obama's military advisers wanted.

"Obama alone understood that there would be Doubting Thomases," Limbaugh said.

2. I heard that broadcast on the way home

My dad always blares Limbaugh. I was pleasantly surprised... this sounds like a departure from his usual ad hominems and extreme wingnuttery. Although from the mellow tone of his voice I wasn't sure if he was being sarcastic about Obama acting alone or not.

3. Well, it's official now.

Limbaugh and Cheney both praising Obama on the same day. Obviously, the fundies are right. The world really is going to end this month!

4. Limpy was being

sarcastic

Idiot blowhard.


On edit, this will still confuse and piss off his fans, especially the way it's being reported in the media.

Give it a day.

8. Wait? WHAT?!! What an asshole then...

Today is not the day for politics. It seemed for a brief moment we had abandoned partisan politics as we had on 9/11 to congratulate Obama, the United States Department of Defense, and the troops for this outstanding historical achievement. Way to fuck up the day, Rush.

10. Sarcasm lost in print. Lol.

The dangers of sarcasm right?

15. What is absurd

Is that for the slimmest fraction of a microsecond after reading it I actually believed it was possible he was being honest. As jaded as I have become I did not think I was capable of that level of naivete.

11. Like a broken clock - even that is right twice a day

Of course with Limbaugh perhaps it's twice in a lifetime.

12. Everything limpballs says

is propaganda.

13. It's insincere

Limbaugh is trying to encourage radical Muslims to target the Presisent.
