Limbaugh on Richardson's endorsement: "The lesson for you superdelegates is that you can vote against Hillary Clinton, and for at least four days, you can survive"

Summary: On his nationally syndicated radio show, Rush Limbaugh suggested that Sen. Hillary Clinton and former President Bill Clinton would react violently to New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson's endorsement of Sen. Barack Obama, stating: "Governor Richardson is alive and well. ... The lesson for you superdelegates is that you can vote against Hillary Clinton, and for at least four days, you can survive."

I want to see the first Hillary supporter with the ethics to step up and denounce what Carville did by calling Richardson Judas

Not everyone at once now

Just denounce, you don't even need to reject ; )

Posted by pearlene_scott1602 in reply to edenscape246494

Ed,

There will be some who will say yes the Clinton's wanted Richardson's endorsement but Hillary will prevail without it and there will be others who will deny the Clintons desire for Richardson's endorsement (forgetting the Super Bowl picture) and say it doesn't matter. I will wait with you for those who say Carville was so freaking out of line that both he and the Clinton should be ashamed.

It's true the Clinton's gave Bill Richardson his break on the national stage but he did the job! So while they opened the door (like Affirmative Action does), HE DID THE JOB! Do the Clinton now want to take credit for Bill Richardson doing his job?

How the world changes Pearl and how it stays the same

I am disgusted with the campaign Hillary has run and I refuse to hold my nose and pull the lever for her

Wright hype by damned, I think Obama is still going to pull this off and change will have a chance, McCain wants no part of that wave

Agreed, Limpaugh is fat piece of human filth

And Richardson is no Judas, Hillary should ask Carville to leave the campaign

Posted by wzwriter in reply to edenscape246494

Limbaugh still has not come clean about his arrest in t he company of a male prostitute in the '70s, when he was working for a Pittsburgh radio station under the name "Jeff Christie".

C'mon, Rush - I know that either you or someone in your organization monitors MMFA.  The truth shall set you free, and the dittoheads have a right to know about your double life.

Carville is a poopy head!

Can we move along Eden?

Posted by edenscape246494 in reply to eweston8542983

To what?

To McCain running an ad, maybe flashing a picture of Richardson with Obama and adding audio of Carville, a Democratic strategist calling him Judas

How far is too far for you?

And will you apply that same length to the Neocon nutsacks that are killing our kids, destroying the middle class and erasing our rights ?

Whats your pound of flesh? How much pain and self disgust do I have to experience? How many possibly decieved people do I have to declare evil and beyond the pale? Must I be reduced to a personality that only sees the black and white. How am I then different from a neo con? Is it because unlike them, I know the truth, so the resultant pain and suffering is all for a good cause?

i said i did not like carville's comments.  but i don't see what some ad of richardson with obama, and carville calling him judas, is going to mean to  voters this fall, other than having them scratch their heads.  what mccain might show is pictures of obama and tony rezko, now on trial.  obama said rezko did not do him any favors.  actually the house that obama bought had been on one piece of property, and the sellers split it up, leaving the house with a very small side yard.  so obama brought rezko in on the deal, and rezko bought the lot.  obama did pay for the strip of land, but rezko paid for a 14,000 dollar fence to split the two properties.  and all this was going on while rezko was under investigation, a fact obama admits.  that might appear in an ad, and it's better to discuss it now.  [and matt lauer went on his usual hillary attack fest on the today show this morning.]

And do you really want to bring up shady land deals or anything shady for that matter when you are endorsing the Clintons ?

Yes. Seventy million dollars worth of investigations, and all they could find were a few BJ's.

They lost money on the "land deal," in case you forgot about or couldn't understand the Pillsbury Report.

Everything else was lies, exactly of the type you are implying here. 

Ten years later, you haven't learned a thing, and probably never will. 

WOW EASY

You just post without reading, in no way do I infer that there are any skeletons in the Clinton closet, as far as I know they are clean as any other dirty politician.  What I'm saying is that if Hill wants to drag the discourse down to that level against Obama in her scorched Earth strategy then she is opening Pandora's box as far as the MSM goes.  Its just a subject she'd do better to avoid.

That said the thread is about how Clinton did Richardson dirty through her unapologetic subjugate Carville and she's not apologizing either although Wolfson sort of is.

So was it a warning to other superdelegates? All or nothing ?  And if not then why throw Richardson under the bus like that ?

See, it might be EASY TO REFUTE WINGNUTS, BUT ITS HARD TO SEE THE TRUTH...I've been a Democrat my whole life and I am a US citizen and I will godddamned if this party is going down the same road as the Republicans while we all sit silent and let it happen.

Obama was running a clean campaign and all was quiet until Hill started to lose, then the negatives started flying...so far she is has been willing to have an ally called Judas and all I'm saying is if she goes the Rezko route the MSM will reair every bit of the Clinton era and it won't matter if its not true...it'll be what people are talking about

Posted by commonsenseliberal in reply to eweston8542983

You're right.  Eden's been on this board trashing Hillary for at least a month (if not more).  He's got nothing better to do.  I agree that Hillary's campaign hasn't been the cleanest, but damn, this is politics and as such, it's sometimes dirty.  Obama is a good candidate.  Hillary is a good candidate.  IMO, either would be a fantastic president, especially considering the alternative.  There shouldn't be figthing between members of the Democratic Party - especially to the point that Eden's taken it - to the level of black and white (and no, I don't mean racial).  It seems as though Eden's saying that if you vote for Hillary, you're not looking for change, you're not a real Democrat and that you're looking for a continuation of the current policies. 

Eden, you're sometimes worse than the right-wing media.  Your rants aside, people have the right to vote for whomever they want.  If you choose not to vote for Hillary (if she's the nominee), then you're the one who doesn't want change (as imho, a vote not cast for the Democratic nominee is the same as a vote cast for McCain.).  God knows I've held my nose and voted for a candidate that I didn't really support (Kerry), but I knew him to be infinitely better than the alternative.  Your refusal to pull the lever for Hillary (if she were to get the nomination) because you don't like her campaign is your business.  My point is this:  Hillary is better than McCain.  We disagree who is better between Hillary and Barack.  That matter will be settled in late summer.  You've already decided who to vote for in the general election before the nominee is decided.  You're a hypocrite.

Posted by edenscape246494 in reply to commonsenseliberal

COMMON

That about sums you up.  I've got a sense you're not as Liberal as you say, that or you're just a lazy one.  By election time we will have eight year olds in our midst that grew up post War on Terror.  Kids reared on a healthy diet of jingoism and Fox style news that never knew habeus corpus because it never existed in their time.

Yes, I think if we follow the GOP into the slime we may be able to scare the public into voting Hillary.  We can attack Obama because he is only where he is because he is black.  We can send people on TV and talk about Hussein and Cocaine and then fire them the next day.  We can talk about how Al Qaeda is watching this election.  We can run 3am ads.  We can have surrogates reminding the public that Barack only wins where the black folk are.  We can acknowledge the opposition candidates credentials over or rivals.  Hey, its all politics right?  Who cares?

Then we can harangue Obama over his pastor, and assail a friend that happened to endorse him as Judas

After the Obama wave has crashed we can attack McCain's age, his divorce, his possible affair, his mental health and his non white kid.  We can win, but then who the F are we???

You call me Troll because I hold my fellow Liberals to the same standard I hold these filthy neocons?  Meanwhile you have the support of Carlil and his fellow trolls that want us to attack each other as the primary drags on and on and on.

Yep, you're pretty Common, but you made no sense and if this is where you want us to go then you're no Liberal either

Posted by DBT-hype in reply to solon

He wasn't just talking about Foster.  He was talking about all the people that were killed.  Look up all the associates that were killed mysteriously.  Of course there is no proof, but just suspecious events.  Suspecion is what makes this a great nation, so don't just blindly believe what is told to you.

Could we at least request a few with some more current propaganda? Nothing more boring than outdated trolls.

And my own PSA: once again, an explanation of humor for conservatives- it doesn't start with a "kernel" of truth, but a big ol' solid foundation of truth. While there may be some things that are true coming out of the Oxymoron's mouth (ex: Bill Richardson is alive) he has failed at working any of these things into the joke, and instead has relied on long-debunked rumors that only the simplest of dittoheads believe.

But he knows his audience..

What does dialing 9 1 do?

Answer: Not a damn thing. It makes as much sense as the troll posts Eden has been making for a while now.

Just some general observations abaout Rush Limbaugh...

I've heard Limbaugh expound many times on how miserable liberals are...that liberals are basically unhappy people. Then it occurred to me how miserable Rush Limbaugh's existence must be. How would like to have a job that required you to rant non-stop for several hours a day with the most negative, vitriolic condemnation of another set of people? People who are your own neighbors and fellow countrymen. Limbaugh's entire show every single day is a paranoid stream of consciousness soliloquy that blames liberals for every ill that has ever befallen mankind. How corrosive must Limbaugh's daily condemnation exercise be to his own psyche? How rancid is this man's soul? If he has a soul...

Posted by BlagoBoy in reply to IRONY 101

Irony...

Be honest.  How many times have you listend to Rush?  How many hands do I need to count that...one? two? 

If you find it an endless rant then you obviously haven't listened often.  

Posted by IRONY 101 in reply to BlagoBoy

Incorrect, Truthseeker... For many years I have listened to Limbaugh quite regularly, usually when I'm in my car. Sometimes I have to turn him off because his rants are so offensively dishonest....and his rants are non-stop. Perhaps part of the problem is that the minds of the megadittoheads who agree with the drug addicted fat boy have become so numbed that they don't even recognize a rant when they hear one. And, of course, it goes without saying that a megadittohead would not recognize the truth if it bit them on the behind. I am very familiar with Limbaugh...

Posted by BlagoBoy in reply to IRONY 101

IRONY...when you state this in your original post:

<i>How would like to have a job that required you to rant non-stop for several hours a day with the most negative, vitriolic condemnation of another set of people?</i>

It does smack of ignorance because while rants do comprise his show at times, the show as a whole is not close to how you describe.  It may be that you agree more with those he criticizes and therefore hear it differently than I do. 

Posted by IRONY 101 in reply to BlagoBoy

My point, which you apparently missed, is that Limbaugh's show, every single day, is a continuous condemnation of liberals and Democrats. His show is characterized by it's non-stop negativity. What kind of effect must this have on the conveyor of such constant negative thoughts...day after day, year after year? What kind of person is capable of such non-stop negativity? 

Quibble if you want over what constitutes a rant...but it doesn't take a shrink to recognize someone whose mental health is probably not in tip-top shape. IMO Limbaugh is probably a miserable person...that comes across to me listening to him as often as I do.

Posted by eddy3957 reregistered in reply to BlagoBoy

TS, I can't think of anything he does other than anti-non-right-winger ranting---as Irony described.  He next to never has a guest on---as he has explained on the air "why should I promote anyone other than myself".  Sean Hannity at least interviews people.  Michael Savage will regularly bash Republicans (after he's made his bones on the liberals/gays /Dems/etc.).  Whether you agree with him or not Limbaugh’s show is still very ranty.   The best part is when he seems to be giving us at the beginning of the show his most pressing thoughts.  He does take calls to give mini rants during and afterwards.  And there is an occasional newsclip or news story he’ll read which he’ll then springboard off of into another rant.  He’s classic hate radio.

Posted by BlagoBoy in reply to edenscape246494

You are wrong.  He has plenty to say against Republicans. They have disappointed him and conservatives MANY times.  He was highly critical of Bush Sr. when he raised taxes in 1990 (or was it '91).  He took the party to task this entire primary election season. 

Again...a lot of posters here have a lot to say about Limbaugh, but there is little evidence anyone actually listens regularly.

Posted by solon in reply to BlagoBoy

I dont eat Dog poop regularly either. How far out on a limb am I going saying it stinks and it shouldnt be eaten. Just because you have been assmilitated by the Limborg doesnt change the FACT he is a liar and a propagandist. That he spews nonsense regularly and if you take him seriously you need professional help.

Posted by IRONY 101 in reply to edenscape246494

I agree wholeheartedly that Limbaugh is intellectually dishonest. He knows how to craft an argument but within his rapid fire delivery every few seconds he throws in a supposed fact that is either demonstrably false or, at the very least, subject to debate. But Limbaugh, in his authoratative delivery conveys his opinions and interpretations (all negative towards liberals and Democrats) as not just facts but as gospel truths. I've always said that I wished I had the opportunity to tape just one of Limbaugh's shows and to play it back for right wingers...with my finger on the pause button. You could probably stop the tape every 30 seconds and point out another specious claim represented as fact. His arguments fail when you break down the so-called facts upon which they are based. But, hey, the megadittoheads don't care..they just want to hear him bash liberals and Democrats. That's how Rush has trained them...

Ditto that.

I'll debunk the rumors.

Clinton's worst political enemies were given unlimited time, money, and power to pour over every nick and cranny of his entire life to dig up anything the least bit morally shady.  Everything they found is public, and it stops well short of murders.

Now lets turn a Bush hater loose with godlike powers and see what turns up.

Posted by wookie in reply to steeve

That just proves that Clinton is such a criminal mastermind that he managed to destroy every last shred of evidence...

Posted by solon in reply to BlagoBoy

Both special prosecuters looked into the Vince Foster suicide and said it was a suicide. The coroner said it was a suicide exactly what do you want? There is no evidence whatsoever. and never HAS been that it was anything but a suicide. The only thing saying otherwise are the rumors started by cretins without a shred of decency like Limbaugh and regurgitated by his loyal Limborg.
Bravo to IRONY 101 He has described the far right's star gasbag perfectly.How people can listen and respect this hatefull and arrogant piece of garbage  is beyond belief.

I found the Club Gitmo nonsense offensive to the troops

Posted by BlagoBoy in reply to edenscape246494

Offensive to the troops?  How so? 

To me that is another example of a satircal take on the left-wing's position.  I don't see that as offensive to the troops at all.

Posted by IRONY 101 in reply to BlagoBoy

I don't see that as offensive to the troops at all.

And, therefore, it's people like you who have made Rush Limbaugh a very rich man.

Posted by BlagoBoy in reply to IRONY 101

Please I want to know how you see Club Gitmo as offensive to the troops. I could be missing something, seriously.  Is it just the making light of the entire situation?

Posted by IRONY 101 in reply to BlagoBoy

I find Limbaugh's Club Gitmo satire offensive to America as a whole. Gitmo raises serious questions as to whether the current administration is willing to uphold American ideals that our troops are presently dying to purportedly defend and spread. Limbaugh's satire celebrates the (at least arguable) diminution of America's ideals. Some satire may be eye-opening. Limbaugh's is not. It is simply a juvenile exercise in antagonizing thinking Americans. Limbaugh's satire adds nothing to any serious debate. 4,000 young people (average age, 21) have died in Iraq. I think it's inappropriate to gratuitously make light of any aspect of the war.

Posted by worrierking in reply to BlagoBoy

It's offensive to our troops because the United States is a signatory to The Geneva Conventions. Anyone who wears the uniform of this nation is required to abide by the rules.

Many today say that times are different, they are not. We still hold ourselves to a higher standard than our enemies.

Any citizen that justifies or minimizes waterboarding, simulated electric shock, sleep deprivation, forced masturbation or any of the other atrocities inflicted on detainees in our prisons must also agree that our troops when captured will probably be subjected to at least, the same cruelties.

It's always someone like Limbaugh or Cheney, men who refused to serve our country who now have the biggest balls and are at the forefront of the pro-torture movement. They are cowardly men, who now tell us how our troops should behave themselves in war.

Truthseeker, I listen to Rush quite a bit, usually if I'm on the road. It's entertaining mostly to follow along as he builds his pile of BS, and imagine that there are other people listening who don't see through it. I don't think his base audience is necessarily stupid, as a whole, just scared and lazy.

Posted by BlagoBoy in reply to Col. Harlan Sanders

What are we supposed the "SEE THROUGH."  What do you think is behind the "BS?"   What exactly are you and the rest of the Liberals afraid of?

Posted by Easy to refute wingnuts in reply to BlagoBoy

Why do you state as a fact that we're "afraid" of anything? Why do you constantly project your own shortcomings onto others?

Posted by BlagoBoy in reply to Easy to refute wingnuts

EASYTOREFUTE:  OK let me ask you:  Are you afraid of anything?

Posted by solon in reply to BlagoBoy

Never underestimate the power of STUPID people in large groups. Not fear so much as awareness.

Posted by BillJ-MN in reply to BlagoBoy

I haven't been part of this conversation, but I thought I'd weigh in.  I've listened to hundreds of hours of Limbaugh.  I love talk radio and don't like to restrict myself to those with whom I agree.  Frankly, for a couple decades the choice was pretty much conservative talk or none.

The last five to ten years I've listened to a lot less Limbaugh.  This is mostly because it became so repetitive.  The same rants, the same wisecracks, the same insinuations over and over again.  He became boring and tiresome.  About the same time, my talk radio obtions expanded locally; therefore, I listened to less Limbaugh.

Regardless, I think I'm well qualified to offer an opinion on Limbaugh's product.  It's substandard and deceitful.

Posted by friedbergboy1422 in reply to BlagoBoy

I found his tirade and sketch about the NBA to ignorant and racist as well as his takes on Donovan McNabb.  The NBA one was well over the line with the stereotypical "black" voice and making the NBA player sound like more than an idiot.  His sketches with the "black" voices of Jesse Jackson and Sharpton is well over the line too.

He propagates the same right-wing lies over and over and over (Vince Foster, claiming Gore said he invented the internet), he avoided the draft, but smear vets who oppose the war.  He claims to be a social conservative, but has no respect for the institution of marriage.  The list goes on and on.

I don't listen because when I heard those first two skits and his "Barack the Magic Negro" song sung the way it was, I had enough.

But how long can Rush survive without an OxyContin hit????
ToTRUHTSEEKER68, unfortunatly I do listen to EL FLUSHBO. Nothing new with him, the same old anti liberal anti progressive garbage he has been spewing out for years. As I have said in an earlier post  he is just a propaganda artist in the mold of DR. JOSEF GOEBBLES.

Posted by robrob

Of course it would be "satire" - if Rush weren't continually also suggesting as a fact the Clintons murdered White House counsel Vince Foster.

 

Posted by Si_W in reply to robrob

Odd how satire in some places can nowinclude murder or suicide.  Have public standards changed that much?

Posted by BlagoBoy

STEEVE,

Seems we've had Bush haters on the loose for eight long years and not much has stuck outside of POLICY disagreements which are fine. 

In fact we had a major network news operation try and take him down with verifiably FORGED memos, letters and documents.  Now there was something demonstrably FALSE. 

There is plenty of Bush, GOP and Conservative opposition out there so bring it on.

The real reason Limbaugh and the rest of talk radio is hated by the left is that he and others take on the Left and THEIR LIES and try to point out the folly of many of their flawed policy ideas.

There, I fixed that for you.

Posted by BlagoBoy in reply to BillJ-MN

Do you have an example of a flawed conservative policy?

Posted by solon in reply to BlagoBoy

A regurgitation of Hivemind greatest hit LIES. Lots of them INCLUDING calling questioned documents verifyable forged. AN OUTRIGHT LIE. A memo the CONTENTS OF WHICH WERE VERIFIED. So we got a double whammy lie. Calling documents that cannot be verified but were never PROVEN forgeries verified forgeries lie number one. Then implying they were wrong even though the woman who WROTE Killians memos verified that they were correct and whoever wrote them might have worked off of HER MEMOS. Then a bunch of baseless assertions, repititions of what the Limborg have been instructed to beleive regardless of the fact its mostly abject stupidity.

Posted by BlagoBoy in reply to solon

Where are the ORIGINAL memos.  Do they or did they exist? 

Posted by solon in reply to BlagoBoy

We dont know either of those things. They have NOT been proven to be forgeries THAT is a lie.

Posted by BlagoBoy in reply to solon

The documents posted by CBS News were forged.  That was PROVEN.  NONE of your assertions have been. 

Posted by solon in reply to BlagoBoy

NO THEY WERENT. Feel free to repeat that hivemind idiocy a few dozen more times in the VAIN hope it will magically become true like some demented parrot. It doesnt ADD any credibility for you to repeat a lie. They cannot be verified but were NEVER proven forgeries. THAT IS A LIE. By the way the CLAIM they were PROVEN forgeries is YOURS. It is up to YOU to prove it is true not up to ME to prove a negative. So give it a try and dont waste my time with some rightwing opinion piece. CBS brought on the woman that DID type Killians memos and she VERIFIED THE CONTENTS. Ya got nothin but the ravings you were TOLD to believe as a loyal member of the Limborg.

This links to the study DONE by Republican Richard Thornborough for CBS and says directly

 "has not been able to conclude with absolute certainty whether the ... documents are authentic or forgeries."

I have told you guys. Just because you were TOLD to believe it on Screechmonkey radio doesnt make it true.

I am hoping and praying that Hillary tries to steal the election from Barack Hussein Obama using superdelegates.  Perhaps she has photocopies of their FBI files (Filegate) and is using the informatioin to blackmail some of the superdelegates.

If Obama wins the pledged delegates and the popular votes but does not win the nomination, there will be riots.  There is no way Hillary can possibly win in November without the black vote.  I don't see blacks and college students turning out for Hillary in any meaningful way in November if they view the election as stolen.

This can potentially cause a schism in the Democrat party that could last 20 years.  It if gets very ugly perhaps the GOP can regain the House and Senate.

My dream of destroying the Dems is actually in the process of coming to fuition.  Now if only McCain names Mitt as he VP, we can work on impeaching McCain!!!!

SOLON:  What is your preoccupation with calling me and others stupid simply for disagreeing with you?  I really don't understand it.    

Posted by AussieBob in reply to BlagoBoy

If the slipper fits...Personally I suspect it's got something to do with the difference between disagreeing on matters of opinion and disagreeing on matters of fact.

And as for the examples of truth you claim to be seeking and somehow missing, try looking at the transcripts provided by MM - it's all there in black and white mate.

Posted by solon in reply to BlagoBoy

Please spare me the psuedo outrage. You had no reason to repeat the Democrat party BS other than to antagonize us. It is contemptuous to call the party by anything but the name GIVEN it and you know it. Why do YOU toss mud at us then snivel that it comes back at YOU? You arent an innocent victim here but I will explain AGAIN my rationale. I am not trying to hurt anyone feelings but I want to make the point how easy it is to do ad hominem attacks. How easy and therefore worthless to just SAY rude things. So I use virtually exclusively appellations like stupid and moron. By now you must have observed that most of the people on THIS site are pretty intelligent. On average those coming HERE to post are pretty bright. I have no insecurity about my intelligence and I know people telling me how stupid I am dont bother me because its ridiculous. I figure calling Callista Flockheart FAT wouldnt hurt her feelings. So I use that one over and over. I dont tailor insults to make an individual person feel bad about themselves. I do the tossaway generic insult because it is what the person I am responding to is doing. Perhaps if they dont like it done to THEM it might occur to them to stop doing it to US.

Q - What's the difference between Rush Limbaugh and the Hindenberg?

A - One is a flaming Nazi gasbag, and the other was a dirigible that exploded in Lakehurst NJ in 1937.
