Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs
Thursday, September 18, 2008

A new Spanish-language TV ad from Barack Obama's campaign that portrays John McCain as anti-immigrant uses out-of-context quotes by Rush Limbaugh and unfairly ties McCain to the talk show host, writes Jake Tapper of ABC News. "[T]ying Sen. McCain -- especially on the issue of immigration reform -- to Limbaugh is unfair," Tapper blogs.

Even the article says he didn't lie but claims that Rush's comments, which it amits were derogatory towards Mexicans, weren't quite as bad as what Obama said they are. Really a pathetic attempt to distort both Limbaugh's hate and Obama's attempt to let Mexicans know about it.

"BHO lies about Rush Limbaugh"

YEAH!


Here is where we have to endure (again) some fools rushing in to defend the words of someone who has made a lucrative career out of pointing out words others have said!

The Irony is Headspinning!

Rush Limbaugh as victim...


Poor bastard.


What happened? Did Barack say Rush wasn't an Oxy Queen? In Spanish?


"... the largely non-existent "anti-Immigration wing of the Republican Party"

rolfmfao!!

I DO appreciate the unintentional humor.

Now that stupid bastard thinks he's running against Rush? Christ, I thought he figured his opponent out after campaigning against Bush for a year and a half.

Rush Limbaugh is a drug addict.

"Rush Limbaugh is a drug addict."


Could be...but a stinking rich one at that!

and Palin quoted a racist and anti semite in her RNC acceptance speech.

all the money in the world doesnt erase the fact that...


Rush Limbaugh is a drug addict.

Could be...but a stinking rich one at that!

Which is really all that matters.


Does that make him an "elite"?


Rush Limbaugh is a drug addict.

Why was young Barry so misrable? Was he doing all that shit about the same time he met Michelle?

btw obama tried it-trying dones not make one an addict.

limbaugh went deaf from his abuse and ended up in rehab

rush limbaugh is a drug addict.

barack tried it

are you saying everyone who tries a drug is an addict?


or are you lying?

Obama was rated 8% by USBC, indicating an open-border stance.

McCain was rated 18% by USBC, indicating an open-border stance.


So where does Obama get off acting like he's so much better of a candidate for hispanics? And when has McCain ever aligned himself with Limbaugh?

generally drug addicts take drugs to dull their misery

And Alaskans using tanning beds to combat depression,
does that mean Palin is addicted to vitamin e?

btw obama tried it-trying dones not make one an addict.

It? It would mean single. How many different drugs did he do, truthhurts?

when rush limbaugh was carrying his water?

Marijuana and cocaine from what I have read.

does trying a drug make you an addict?

cause limbaugh admitted he was an addict

does trying a drug make you an addict?

Posted by truthhurts

OK, now that we've cleared up "it", where did Barry say he tried marijuana and cocaine "once"

didnt say once, said tried it.

he tried it does that make him an addict?

cause Rush admitted he is a drug addict

Rush Limbaugh is a drug addict.

Why was young Barry so misrable?--

Probably because he had to overcome obstacles thrown in his was daily by shit heads like you.

But anyway, as a kid myself I experimented with some drugs ---- then I grew up, got married and had some kids (two more weeks to go).

On the other hand, when you have a thrice divorced man in his late forties + hooked on synthetic heroine, there are some serious underlying issues!

trighurts,
An obsession would mean I gave you, your wife, and your children some serious thought as you have admitted you gave mine.
Don't deny it liar.

alchohol is a drug

you drink a few beers you addicted?

you check yourself into betty ford for drinking you are a alcoholic.

danni: no, the article is quite clear that the BHO campaign is lying. And, based on this ad and some of his other statements, BHO is a liar; do a search at my site.

As for Obama's attempt to let Mexicans know about it, "Mexicans" aren't allowed to vote in our elections. Think through what that word means.

Likewise, Corky has problems understanding what words mean; few Republicans are against all immigration for all time, which is what "anti-immigration" means.

go away troll

"But anyway, as a kid myself I experimented with some drugs ---- then I grew up, got married and had some kids (two more weeks to go)."

YEAH!

And look how great you turned out!

-against all immigration for all time, which is what "anti-immigration" means.

Really? Seriously?

You think that is the only context in which that term is used?

Wait, why am I asking anything of an obviously thicker than usual brick?

Probably because he had to overcome obstacles thrown in his was daily by shit heads like you.

And if he couldn't handle someone like me, he isn't qualified to be C.I.C.
Thanks for playing.

Ah, illiteratelosers.org.

Shoulda known.

One thing that bothers me about Obama is that he accuesd our own federal agents of "terrorism" and attacked them for only doing their job. When ICE agents made their raids on companies who had hired hundreds of illegal aliens Obama said our own federal agents were "terrorizing" them and "tearing nursing mothers away from their babies." That was a lie.

ICE adamently denied it and in fact they bend over backwards to make sure everything is done by the book so the La Raza crowd doesn''t sue them in court. For Obama to accuse our own federal agents of terrorism is a disgrace. To attack law enforcement agents for simply doing their job is sick. Obama will not even use the word "illegal" only the word "immigrants" so as far as I'm concerned Obama will throw our borders wide open.

You see California? We are in fiscal meltdown. $9 BILLION is spent on illegal aliens in this state and the cost is constantly growing. McCain is just as bad about open borders and screwed over his own citizens in Arizona and his state is overrun with illegals, their schools are bursting at the seams, their hospitals are spending millions on health care for illegals and the crime is sky high. Both McCain and Obama will destroy our nation's sovereignty and turn us into a third world nation with uncontrolled illegal immigration. McCain and Obama are BOTH open borders globalists.

"And if he couldn't handle someone like me, he isn't qualified to be C.I.C. "

YEAH!

Except " young Barry" (your words) isn't and wasn't runnin' for the office, fool!

now if only your game came with some "rules" you could follow!

TH: Can't you ever finish a sentence?

You keep posting this as though it's a complete thought, and self-explanatory. Limbaugh admitted he's a drug addict. And so you just keep repeating it every chance you get, like a stupid parakeet.

Let me help you .....

The rest of the sentence would begin with "therefore ........." and some conclusion.

vern, vern vern

your grammer is aas poor as your math

Rush Limbaugh-Subject
is-predicate
a drug addict-Direct Object

that is a sentance.

the complete thought is and remains

Rush Limbaugh is a drug addict.

As long as we are giving English lessons:

"grammer" should be grammar
"sentance" should be sentence

And of course good English includes the whole capitalization and punctuation thing, Truthy.

That's what I get for typing before I had my morning joe.

Here's a little lesson on logic. You're convusing statement with argument, vern.

TH's statement speaks for itself.

confusing.

yes vern if you want argument

Rush Limbaugh is a drug addict therefore...

... he is clinically insane.

... he is a hypocritical blowhard.

... he is a deviant.

... he should go to jail.

... he ought to be sent up.

... he is destroying his life.


all of the above.

Nothing new here, there is no story.
B Obama

and the liberal media will ignore it, while magnifying the foibles of palin and mccain....

I doubt that there is anything that Obama could accuse Limbaugh of saying that wouldn't be, at least, true if you considered the underlying "code" in which Limbaugh and most other right wing haters communicate with their base of haters. Limbaugh, with his $400 million dollar contract has nothing to fear from an Obama presidency, in fact it will provide hours and hours of an "enemy" against which he can rail. However, many of the future hate speakers, just now entering into their careers as hate broadcasters fear that an Obama presidency may bring with it the communist idea that the air waves that the people own should actually serve those people. That could force some of these pretend conservatives you hear on the radio to actually consider telling you what they really think. I know of several former liberal talkers who used to be part of the very popular talk radio of the 70s and 80s here in S. Florida who were recruited to do conservative talk in other markets at much higher salaries. EVen the hated, the vilified Randi Rhodes was approached and offered much higher money but fortunately for America Randi laughed in their face.
So, some of those turn coats may well soon regret their willingness to pretend to be righties when they were really, and this is a known factola about one certain rightie talker in S. California, gay lefties.

About time!!!

Boo Fucking Hoo.

Wow just wow. I thought the MSM was liberal. Yet they give almost no time to McCain's outright lies about Obama but pay massive attention to Obama's lies about McCain.

Hmmm how liberal is our media after all.

Who cares if they are liberal or conservative fact is they don't care about issues or what is best for the nation they care only about the money they can make, I guess that makes them neo-cons.

Well at least I can sleep soundly knowing that no one deserving of the presidency will win this year.

"code"


FOTFLMAO!


Seriously...thanks...I needed that!

Both candidates are guilty of distorting and lying. A shame since they both supposedly want change. Distorting and lying is more of the same.

Where's Brewster when you need him?

"btw obama tried it-trying dones not make one an addict."

Ha Ha, that reminds me of that old joke that ends: "but just suck one little cock!"

Truthhurts wrote,

"Rush Limbaugh is a drug addict."

and Barack Obama isn't?

Better read about his years as a coke head and drug dealer. Also he still smokes cigarettes. A nasty habit indeed.

Read about his (Obama) years as a drug dealer....

OK, I'll bite---Citation?

Citation is such a big word. Maybe it would be easier if you just told us who told you, and if that was Rush Limbaugh?

I'm sorry Limbaugh is an addict. What interests me more is whether he still wants addicts to have prison time. Just out of idle curiosity, does anyone know?

Oh! Poor McBush! Poor, Poor flush rimjob!
McFlip McFlop fucks squirrels....
flush rimjob eats freshly aborted fetuses.


Now asswipes-PROVE ME WRONG!

Obama sucks--

Flop Ears is a drug addict. He admitted the fact in his book.

Pathetic.

danni says: Really a pathetic attempt to distort both Limbaugh's hate and Obama's attempt to let Mexicans know about it.

"Mexicans" can't vote in our elections. (Although the Democratic Party has other ideas).

Although Tapper did an uncharacteristic good job, regular readers might note that I posted my own take down some hours before Tapper got around to it:

24ahead.com

I posted that here, and that post now redirects to this one; I don't know whether to be upset about that or not.

This is actually quite interesting and amusing. It's really the first time that Dems have gotten Rush on the defensive. Twisted his words to suit their own agenda... kinda Republican if you ask me...

My guess is that there is more of this to come!

Has anyone else noticed that Limbaugh has become more "Hannitized" over the last month or so: Talking about Jesus and prayer, replaying truncated clips ad nauseam, etc?

Frequent listener I take it?

Pirate-
I like talk radio. Unfortunately, I have few choices.

I haven't listened to talk radio for years. Used to listen to it in the car to and from work but I work from home now.

Liked to listen to Clark Howard. He had a consumer advocate talk radio show.

Conservatives are just a bunch of sissy assed cowards according to National Geographic, of course we already knew that.

They post on this site daily.

news.nationalgeographic.com

Pirate-
I've listened to Clark Howard. I once lived in the Atlanta area, so I got Howard and Boortz- better that my current cornucopia of choices: Limbaugh or Hannity or Dr. Laura.

Seems to me that the article didn't even make the case that it's headline tried to portray.

Great. Now they're both lying. At least its a fair fight.

Great. Now they're both lying. At least its a fair fight.

It's an attempt to link McCain to Rush's statements by association. I don't think it's particularly fair, but I wouldn't call it a lie. McCain's ads have been outright lies, however. This doesn't mean I approve of this ad, or this attempted linkage. I don't like this kind of thing.

The whole thing is stupid and beneath the voting public attitude and insight.

The use of misleading to almost out right slant word lies is counter productive to the actual problems we are facing.

If either party is unable to separate their objectives in handling our problems now and in the future they are both worthless.

Interesting that this thread immediately turns to anti-Rush.

The point of the thread is that Obama is a liar.

Let's say that again, Obama is a liar.

Obama is a lying politician who is lying to get elected.

Is that the chenge you can believe in?

Now we get a good laugh at freddys' expense.

The liear is Rush, has been for quite some time now but lets not let you get some kind of rush supporting slog going.

and yet what he said was actually correct, perhaps and exaggeration but Rush did call mexicans stupid.

and speaking of drug addicts we have the Palin family.

What happened? Did Barack say Rush wasn't an Oxy Queen? In Spanish?

Now, Corky, Obama amitted in his book of being a pot head and using coke. So don't be throwing rocks in your little glass house.

What was good for Corky is good you TH,

Obama amitted in his book of being a pot head and using coke. So don't be throwing rocks in your little glass house.


Muttsy,

Obama experimented with drugs as a youth, as did many people.

Rush the Oxy Moron chose as an adult to use several doctors and trips out of country to maintain his drug high.

There is a difference.

Rush is a drug adled Republican shill. How do you "unfairly" connect these dots?

This is dangerous what Obama is doing.

online.wsj.com

Let's review for the chronically stupid on this thread:

Rush is not running for anything. Your comments on his drug use are irrelevant.

Obama is running for President of the United States and he has ads out that contain outright lies.

The discussion is about Obama the liar.


Rush Limbaugh is a drug addict.

#7 | Posted by truthhurts at


ATTABOY truth..........such incitefull and groundbreaking comments........

so would you please list all of the hollywood elitiests who liberals look up to who are also drug addicts and worse so that you can be 'fair and balanced'..........

and again CLASSWARFARE runs supreme in the democrat party........

and are many of you aware that after a week of broadcasting the dem convention that on telemundo and the other main spanish network that there was NOT ONE SHOT OF THE Republican convention
wonder how much the dnc paid them off for that???????

"and again CLASSWARFARE runs supreme in the democrat party........"

About time after years of Republicans waging war against the middle class.

Rush's drug use is important in only one respect: he got away with it repeatedly, whereas black people and hollywood elites are made examples of. The black people are locked up for long terms to send a message to that community. Rich Hollywood Stars are also permitted alternative solutions to their troubles with the law, but they must dole out loads of cash.

There is no bigger liar in the media than Rush. His bankable skillset is that he is able to entertain while obfuscating. The Oligarchy obviously values this skill very highly.

Its all bullshit and its bad for you.

oh please.....such bloated and bigoted statements.......

and from a member of our society who is all about diversity and compassion...............tsk tsk

Let's say that again, Obama is a liar.

Obama is a lying politician who is lying to get elected.

Is that the chenge you can believe in?

#77 | Posted by FreddyK at 2008-09-19 08:20 AM

The Change you are seeking will come AFTER the election. Fact is, WE must take the White House back from this corrupt regime.

The Game is Information Warfare.

The rules are clearly laid down by McBush.

I applaud Obama for recognizing the Reality of the situation.

Fight Fire with Fire!

And it' working!

So sorry Rethugs!

Check the Polls.

GOBAMA!

it'=it's (for the"grammer" polizi!)

"Obama is running for President of the United States and he has ads out that contain outright lies.

#88 | Posted by FreddyK"

Oh my god, a political campaign where the ads contain LIES?! NO WAY! THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE, AND MUST CERTAINLY NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN!

Obama and McCain are both liars in their ads. Big fucking surprsie.

mccains black baby said it was a lie


Wait! Maybe Obama IS McCain's black baby!!

Hooray for cake!

Even the article says he didn't lie but claims that Rush's comments, which it amits were derogatory towards Mexicans


Rush's comments weren't derogatory in the least.

This ad is about is disingenuous as it gets.


Rush's comments were a parody - he was doing a parody of the Mexican government's stance on immigration. If you listen to that particular monologue, in its entirety, that point becomes abundantly clear to anyone with an IQ above that of Trighurts. This edited quote as akin to providing a joke but omitting the punchline.

Let's see....disgusting ads, hacked email accounts...this is what we call "change"?

Willie Horton says it was disgusting

Why do people continue to listen to this uneducated piece of talking shit? seriously !!

Rush's claim that his comments were taken out of context doesn't pass the Bullshit-O-Meter test. At what point do any of these talking headcases think that racism has a "proper context"?
