Rush Limbaugh's claim that "Liberals want America to fail."

[Beloved Citizen]

My question today to NBC's Norah O'Donnell and David Gregory is as follows:

"You hear on so many of the Rush Limbaugh style radio broadcasts that somehow "Liberals want America to fail." Given the almost unprecedented string of unfortunate disasters that have befallen this country these last few years, shouldn't that mean Liberals would want to support the re-election of George W. Bush?"

I anxiously await their reply.

1. LOL - great question

I'm anxious to see if you get a response!

[physioex]

2. LOL...

That's is funny..... :evilgrin:

[htuttle]

3. George Bush may be a covert Communist revolutionary!

[amber dog democrat]

4. They won't like that much.

Its a hell of a delemma to be in isn't it? If you poke fun at these inconsistancies, then the terrorists will have won, won't they?

[boobooday]

5. Well put!

And shouldn't Osama want Bush re-elected too, since he has been so good for the terrorism business?

6. Good one!

We can't wait to vote for him again because there is no better guarantee for failure.

7. LOL, "I anxiously await their reply.", and so do I. Jolly good.

8. as usual, Limpballs says the opposite of what is true

Neo-cons want America to fail.

Because they only way they can stay in power is if America fails.

They're doing a pretty good job of getting America to fail.

9. Oh, that is good!

Any bets on never getting a reply? ;)

10. No. We want Republicans to fail.

We want them to fail at destroying our country.

[gratuitous]

13. That's it on the button

I don't want America to fail, I want Republicans to fail. There's a heueueueuege difference. And get this right, slimeballs, I don't "blame America first," I blame Republicans first. Last. And always. Because so much of what's wrong in this country can be traced to their pathological politics.

Fortunately, we outnumber them, we're getting better organized than them, and we're figuring out (finally!) how to outspend them.

You're in for a rough couple of decades, fascisti!

12. Typical Right Wing Crybaby Bullshit!

This is how they're going to defend themselves after we fail in Iraq. They drag us into this mess while ignoring our countless protests and words of warning. And then, after all of our predictions come true about the mess they created, they're going to blame us for it because, "We want America to fail!"

What a bunch of stupid, arrogant, whining, crybaby, loser assholes!

16. Hi Downtown Hound!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[geniph]

14. I sure as shit DO want America to fail

...to re-appoint that frat-boy squatter in the White House!

Want America to fail, my ass. When were we respected by the rest of the world? When was our economy booming? When was the budget last balanced? It sure as hell wasn't when a Repug was in the White House, folks!

Limbaugh really needs to get off the drugs.

[stickdog]

15. Neocons set America up for failure.

But shooting the messenger feels good, huh, Oxymoron?

[beanball]

17. Mr.Limbaugh

we want America to be what she says she is a nation under God,a land of free people,where there is justice for all,nothing more nor nothing less,it you greed merchants that has placed us in the shitty predicament we find ourselves in,so get off your high horse oxy and cease with the b.s. .

[tjwash]

18. I don't want America to fail.

I love America.

It's these mediocre nitwits like Rush and Hannity that make tons of money by producing nothing that deserve to fail. They go against everything our great country is supposed to stand for.

[Deja Q]

19. LOL! But on a serious note,

I want America to succeed.

I merely speak of all the wrong things happening to it and by those causing the destruction.

I am not saying "Spend trillions of dollars and annihilate our economy!"

I am not saying "Go ahead, antagonize the world and then fight them saying they want to attack us!"

I am not saying "America needs to be protected! They hate us for our freedoms! And the best way to stop them here at home is to get rid of these freedoms! Oh, except the second amendment, every American regardless of mental capacity should have their own bazooka with free ammo!!!"

I am not saying in reference to your political ads "Go ahead, create outright lying in your political ads such as "I am George W Bush and I approved this message. I signed into law the patriot act which gives tools to our law enforcement to stop terrorists. John Kerry also signed this bill, but has been pressured by fellow liberals to change his mind." We know you only tell the absolute and utter truth, openly and freely out of genuine concern for the American people."

I am not saying "While you're spending more money and cutting domestic programs and am trying to pass legislation to cull our freedoms that everybody hates, we need more of them big tax cuts which will saaaaaaaaaaaaave our economy!!!!!!!!!!" :eyes:

I want America to succeed and be America. Bush* says he wants it to succeed, but all his actions are telling us the exact opposite.

[TankLV]

20. LIberals to rush: BUSH* & THE REPUKES ARE NOT AMERICA.

We want bush* & the repukes to fail. Big difference.

WE WANT OUR COUNTRY BACK FROM THOSE THAT STOLE IT!
