Abu Wabu

Someone wake me when the idiot left stops its dishonest caterwauling over Rush Limbaugh's perfectly logical judgements against the Messiah.

NRO's Peter Wehner wastes far too much time trying to explain the truth to idiots who aren't interested in hearing it:

The argument Limbaugh is making is fairly simple to follow: President Obama is proposing plans Limbaugh believes (with justification, in my view) will hurt our economy and hurt our country. If Obama fails in getting his plans through Congress, we will be better off. Certainly one can make the argument that Obama’s various plans, from his “stimulus” package to his profligate, record-spending budget, have caused the market to go south at an alarming rate. Obama’s plans aren’t the only reason the market is going down, but it is unquestionably a key contributing factor.

If Obama is proposing policies that you believe vary from being unwise to malignant, you would want those policies to be blocked, which is another way of saying you want Obama’s ambitions to fail. That is what Rush Limbaugh is arguing, and it’s entirely
reasonable (and not terribly controversial) for him to hold this view.

But those in the MSM are pretending that those who hope Obama’s plans fail are really rooting against America. That is nonsense. Limbaugh wants America to succeed; as a conservative, he hopes Obama’s astonishing liberal power-grab fails. It’s really not all that complicated to understand.

What I wonder, though, is where Anderson Cooper and his colleagues were during the Iraq debate, when the surge was clearly beginning to work — yet leading Democrats, one after another, said it was failing. This was a situation in which America was engaged in a war of enormous consequences and, if we had lost, it would have been a geo-political and humanitarian catastrophe. Yet anti-war critics – including Sen. Barack Obama — insisted on promoting the narrative of America’s failure in Iraq when the evidence was the opposite.

Where was the outrage then, I wonder? And why wasn’t Cooper insisting that those who opposed President Bush's critics line up behind him? We could be generous and merely call it a double standard. Or we could be less generous and call it hero-worship by Obama’s media courtiers.

All of which of course is true.

Back in the Clinton era you had a better chance of getting a clean New York taxi than an honest response from either the press or the Clinton War Room to Rush's criticisms of Slick Willy, and that's how it is again today with the Messiah camp, which is made up of pretty much the same crowd. The strategy is the same too, proving that you can't teach vicious liberals new tricks: Carville the Frenulum and Begala the Forehead are checking in with Rahm in the Left Wing every morning to co-ordinate their attacks on Rush, which are meant to divert attention away from Obama's economic trainwreck that, unlike those of us who had the brains to cash out before the bastard drove the economy into the tank, will likely impoverish every last fucking idiot that voted for the Great Jug-Eared One.

All the talking heads on CNN, MSLSD and the other walking dead are full of crap and they know it. They know that contra their propaganda, Rush doesn't want America to fail. As always, they have to lie to maintain their storyline, because to tell the truth would force it to collapse. Every last one of those squealing over The Talent On Loan From God hoped and prayed for President Bush to fail in every possible way they could imagine, without regard for the consequences. Fail in Iraq, fail in the war against Islamofascism, fail in his efforts to protect America from more attacks, fail in his quest to free 50 million Muslims from the clutches of the Taliban in Afghanistan and Saddam Hussein in Iraq.

Casualties in Iraq? Good for the Democrats' numbers. Bad economic indicators? Just ask Dick Gephardt, who declared that "for every one hundred point drop in the dow, we gain another seat". John Murtha worked overtime slandering the fine young men and women of the armed forces in Iraq, time after time, fabricating out of his hatred for America one war crime after another, so viciously that those he accused have finally had enough and are suing the rotten old bastard. Harry Reid brazenly declared Iraq "lost" in an attempt to pre-empt public support for the surge that finally, horror of horrors for Democrats and idiots, established the victory in Iraq that President Jug-Ears still refuses to declare, which is why the military audiences he uses for propaganda will save their applause for their next get-together with their beloved President Dubya.

At the outset of the Surge in Iraq, the despicable Reid and his fellow Democrat lickspittles accused General Petreaus of planning to lie in his testimony before Congress. Hillary declared that she had to "suspend disbelief" before taking the General's testimony.

The MSM and the idiot left accused Bush of every possible crime against every possible straw man they could conjure. And now that Rush Limbaugh declares that he wants Obama's transformation of America into a socialist welfare state to fail, the whining and recriminations and accusations and condemnations from the left have reached a fever pitch.

Well. Whine on, kiddies. This is war, economic and ideological war. And you will surrender without condition.
