CNN

The Repubs have to go crawling on their knees and beg for forgiveness, if one of them criticize him. The 2010 midterm elections, we can vote our every Repub.

Rush is a HS DROPOUT....LOL.

He wants to debate President Obama--Not. You run for President, and win the Repub nomination--Then you can debate President Obama.

Rush "Oxy" Slimebaugh is a big fat comedian. I won't go back and apologize on my knees like The repub so-called leaders.

Hats off to Carville and Begala! They're simply doing what they do best ... staying on top of things. As for limbaugh, he has a right to his opinions, comments, etc. - as all Americans do ... but his are toxic acid for the GOP as well as his advertisers.

Rush Limbraugh is an idiotic. This man owes our President and most importantly every American and apology. How can he make these statements knowing the consequences for the american people. President Obama needs not give this man the time of day. Rush Limbraugh has proven time and again that he stands for bigotry,hate and being divisive. He should be banned from tv. As his personal life deterioated, he just became a raging lunatic. He has many after effects of drug abuse. I feel sorry for the guy_______ half of is brain is friend and the other is atrophied. This guy needs to retire...and then be forced to take some type of physchological evaluation.

"You said it yourself Big Daddy, mendacity is the system we live in" *
No truer words than these can be used to describe the current lambasting of Mr. Limbaugh!
Wanting policy to fail because you believe the success of it will do harm to you, your family or your country. This is what he's done that's so awful? Are you kidding me??
I'm not taking sides on the policy debate or whether the current administration has it right or not.
However, when our government starts distorting the words of someone who speaks out against the direction it's administration is taking, then it's teetering dangerously close to censorship!

*Brick. From Tennessee Williams play "Cat on a hot tin roof"

CNN,

Please give us a break. Every time that you mention the blowhard Limbaugh, you increase his ratings.

Some say he is entertainment only. As for me, I think he is ridiculous, and I would never listen to his show. But. . .thanks to you. . .I have to turn the channel to another station rather than yours when you continue to give this madman airtime.

I suspect you know the damage he can do our country with his rants, but sadly you prefer to add fuel to the fire.

Please. . .turn him off. I'm losing respect for CNN.

Conspiracy? It makes good political sence to have infighting in the republican party. Not sure what the big deal is. Republicans will do the same when they get the chance (and the democrates will give them that chance) I agree though that Rush is getting too much press. I listened to part of his address to cpac. He was barley coherent and couldn't connect his analogies with his point. I couldn't imagine listening to him on the radio.

America! We really have to look at the CPAC cult and the Limbaugh priest as a threat to America! This looks like Nazi Germany before the horrors that they committed. CPAC is a cult!

I think it's a boxing match between Limbaugh and Carville. My money is on Carville.

Why is Anderson Cooper being so biased?

He seems to hit Democrats with outrageously unfair questions, and yet, he allows the far right-wingers easily off. No hard questions, no actual questions, just softballs lobbed at the far-right GOP.

And Mr. Cooper might need to get some common sense. It makes no sense to say "I'll let the viewers decide." When you say that, you're not fulfilling your duty. When the sky is blue, you say the sky is blue. You don't let the far right GOP say that it's black, and say I'll let the viewers decide whether its blue or black. This is the stupidity that Mr. Cooper spouts every day.

Hard on Dems; soft on the GOP. Stop pandering to the far right, and start actually doing your dang job.

Democrats do not need to conspire against "King Limbaugh" the famous ruler of the Republican party. Rush is offering them the opp to link him with Republicans ,and Republicans are hurting themselves by not trying to relegate Rush to the background. He has become the face of the party and Democrats and their loyalists love it. What is so wrong to laugh and count your blessings, when your opponents are destroying themselves instead of fighting you? Rush is not worth any conspiracy. If he and the Republican party are that dumb to allow him to continue ranting, do not blame or accuse Democrats.

I love it. Keep talking Rush, just keep talking. The more you talk, the more the GOP falls by the wayside. Keep this up and by 2012 there won't be more than 5 or 6 Republicans in office. Hahahahaha

You know what I don't get? You republicans for the past 6-8 years are the ones that spent us into the mess with your unfounded wars. Now that Obama is using money to make money(Sounds like a rich white republican business theory), and the republicans are no longer the ones spending the money on their republican agenda, you cry foul. Guess what? Us dems had to watch for 8 years as your idiot manchild blew our deficit to enormous proportions. Now sit back and watch as Obama spends money on the UNITED STATES instead of iraq or some other half witted plan to conduct a war on another nation that has nothing to do with any of this UBL business. It's funny in 51 days, obama has come up with a better plan for the war against UBL than bush could in 8 years, get out of iraq, go to afghanistan and pakistan. Obama – 1 Bush – -1,000,000

Limbaugh is doing what the big corporations are paying him to do because they are angry about the taxes they will finally have to pay!

Best thing to do is to ignore Limbaugh. President Obama is doing an outstanding job in a really difficult time.

Limbaugh's going to keep saying more and more outrageous things to try to manipulate his way into power because he's lost his power and he knows it.

I guess any day now Obama's going to have to sign an Executive Order making it an act of treason to doubt him, let alone express a hope that his efforts to drive the country into socialism fail.

James Carville, the wet rat.

James go after Rush< I believe you can take him.

This is the most corrupt media ever...the fact that Carville chats up the WH every morning is unbelievable....Where is the balance? This is all to get us ready for the "fairness" doctrine to silence conservatives in the only media form left for us....and the free market supports it.

Obama is a liar and so are the rest of them...Carville on the top of the list...America is waking up to the silly scams the Obama camp is playing.

When Rush became the de facto leader of the Republican party he left a comfortable ringside seat to step into the ring. He's just now discovering what a fight really is. This would be funny were it not so tragic for the Republicans.

At least Carville, Rahm and Begala do not have to suspend butt snorkeling Rush's analsphincter before they speak, like Steele and the other repubs do!

I anticipate the token boy will lie low or is that, on the "down low"? Then quietly submit his resignation due to "family obligations".

I AM BEGINNING TO ENJOY THIS RUSHIE THING.

I LOVE TO READ ALL THE POST. GOSH! I NEVER SEEN SO MUCH TRASH AND BLAME COMING FROM THE PEOPLE THAT POST FOR THE RIGHT.

WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO GOD & COUNTRY FIRST?

Rush has been running his drug addicted mouth for years. The repugs used to ignore him now that turn around and hold their ankles before him.

WAY TO GO RUSH...YOU CAN ONLY WIN AGAINST PPL WITH DISORDERS BE IT PHYSICAL(MICHEAL J. FOX) OR MENTAL( ALL THE REPUBLICAN'S WHO APOLOGIZED TO HIM)!!! BUT YOU WONT INTIMIDATE THE WHITE HOUSE NOR COLIN POWELL OR ANYONE WITH CONVICTION AND A BACKBONE!

Palin, Joe the Plumber, Jindal, Steele and now Rush...this is too funny. This is better than watching Big Brother or Survivor.

Call the President what you will: guess who got beat at their own game? Republicans, no weapon(Rush) formed against thee (the President) shall prosper. Get along or get gone. You will not outsmart the President. You have no new ideas. Therefore, work with the President and at least get half the credit.

"Republicans accuse Democrats of using Limbaugh as a distraction". Can the manager of a television station be accused of using Bozo as a clown? Sorry, but Bozo is a clown, and why imagine he could be anything else?

Someone needs to remind rush that all he is ,is a radio talk host nothing more. not even important ,not a President ,a Governor ,Senator , not even the leader of the GOP.So he wants the president to fail ?Just remember rush old boy, if he fails, we all fail including{you} a SORRY EXCUSE for an AMERICAN! Pack your crap and move to another country, the sooner the better!!! and oh i totally agree with Carville.

Is anyone else disappointed that this administration is taking on purely partisan talking points from purely partisan hacks, rather than focusing on the many important issues facing this country?

Shouldn't Rahm Emmanuel be leafing through the omnibus spending bill (with his remaining fingers) and looking for waste to root out, instead of formulating juvenile divisive ploys with Carville and Begala?

Was there anything that Obama said during the campaign trail that was not actually pure grade horse manure?

"Obama is out of control and no Republican will support it."

It is called political capital, you twit. President Obama has plenty and he keeps getting new deposits.

On the other hand repubs need a bailout, as they are bankrupt.

One day you folks will realize, how out of step you are with the rest of us. NBC/WSJ has President Obama at 64% and repubs at 26% I provide stats to back up my claims not the repubs's daily talking points you dittoheads use.

Of course do continue to ignore anything but the repub private poll provided by Rasmussen, he is the only one not in on the "liberal MSM conspiracy"!

There are several media analysts (Democratic opposition, and those representing African-Americans) hitting the air waves to discuss their views on President Obama's plan(s). They are bashing one another and need to focus their attention on the issues, instead of bolstering the racial devide. The people who voted for President Obama should not get upset when others question and/or oppose what most of the country voted for . . . His Plan!

President Obama and his speakers do a much better job of defending what he ran on and now implementing. Our energy and voice are in greater need within our respective communites for our Youth, despterately needing mentor/motivators, tutors, and job skills centers, etc.

Some Republicans believe the Democrats are afraid of Rush and that's why they attack, but I think not. I'm not a Democrat yet I'm outraged by Rush's statement.

Rush L. speaks to the core of the Republican base, yet a majority of Americans oppose their outdated ideas. Why should anyone be afraid of Rush L.? Rush is simply getting the same type of attention that Palin got. People just love to tear him down.

Republicans claim the Rush is not the leader of their party, but are afraid to speak out against Rush and his ideas. How can Republicans lead this country when they have no back bone?

The Republicans believe that they can get us out of this mess. I find that amusing considering it was their great ideas got us into this mess in the first place.

Republicans are so opposed to Obama's vision for the United States, yet the vision of the Republican party is scattered and geared to benefit only the wealthy. It always amazes me how smart these Republicans think they are when they don't even know what their party stands for or who their leaders are.

Even if Carville and Emanuel only had one a piece, together they would still have more 'nads than token shepherd Steele and his Sheep.

we might as well have elected hillary since o'bama is using all the clinton's old henchmen! i really thought he was so much better than she would have been because of all the clinton sleaziness – but alas – he is not only using all of their tactics but the same mean, dishonest, lying scumbags she and bill used to destroy anybody who got too close to the truth about them – way to go o'bama – this is really change!!!!

There is a difference between crap shooters and sharp shooters like Rush. Give Rush credit alright.

Limbaugh is a cancer, corrupting and poisoning everything that was ever good about this country. It's about time someone stood up to him. Goodness knows, the republican party seem to gutless to.

How can an educated, accomplished man who just so happens to be the leader of the free world demonize a Moron? A Moron who's losing other Idiot followers at record numbers. I think it's safe to say that this overweight village Idiot is using drugs again.

I know Carville is an idiot.... but I think we have a bigger one in the White House. Drop the Rush stuff and get down to business... The country is in a mess. Maybe this is just a conspiracy to bankrupt the US and give it over to maybe ..... BHO's true home country?

“After more failed stints with Missouri radio stations Limbaugh
moved to Sacramento, CA, where he met and became "friends"
with Norm Woodruff, a flamboyant, openly gay man with a
great deal of influence in the local radio scene. Woodruff, who
mentored Limbaugh in the ways of affluence and elitism (traits
Rush mocks today), would later die of AIDS Through his ties to Woodruff Limbaugh was given Morton Downey Jr’s spot on KFBK News Talk 1530AM”.

“In May 2004 Rush's third wife, Marta, grew tired of never
having sex with her allegedly closeted homosexual of a
husband, and so asked for a divorce. Limbaugh complied after his
desperate wife agreed to never reveal the true nature of Rush's
sexual perversion“.

So, let's recap,

3 failed relationships with 3 different women

Public knowledge due to his drug addictions, he must use Viagra to consummate a relationship with any woman

Could it be?

Could Limprick also be tapping out Broadway show tunes in public bathrooms with his shoe when there is a cute young boy toy in the adjoining stall?

Or does he too, just have a "wide stance" when seated?

Not that there is anything wrong with that.

Rush wouldn't poll 1% of republicans if he ran for the nomination. What makes him think he's worthy of debating the President of the United States? Rush is CHICKEN!!!!! Run for president Rush, or shut the H up!

Democrats are so afraid of Limbaugh. That is why they are trying to silence him. It won't work though. Rush still believes in the 1st amendment. Keep on fighting Rush! It is sad when a President makes it a priority to go after a private citizen. Most Republicans want the "socialist" ideas of Obama to fail, including some Democrats in congress who are starting to question the great "O."

Rush Limbaugh is overweight, drug addicted and complete Moron. Anyone who believes it was the White House was responsible for the American public being informed of those facts are bigger Idiots than Rush. Rush Limbaugh is trying to hold on to his job just like the rest of America, and the only way to accomplish that is to make stupied statements and cause some type of reaction through the media. Keep the camera out of his fat face and the Moron would go away.

Politico.com=another right-winged, neo-fascist, organization. What did you expect, honest news.

Liberals see the poor and minorities as "victims" who must be taken care of by society...

Conservatives see the poor and minorities as potential contributers to society...

Whose keeping whom down? Rush was right...

What a joke! Oh, take things out of context, use them to go after a worthless radio guy – anything to take America's eyes off of the crap that Obama is sliding in under our eyes!

Carville, Begala and Rahm are idiots. White House is run by idiots. Thye have nothing else tot alk about. They do not know what is happening to our economy. Instead they want to talk about Rush. At least Rush is trying to give them some sense. Thank you Rush.

It is a brilliant strategy – cast the Republicans as the far-right wacko party of the Rush Limbaugh and Sarah Palin supporters – you know, those fat guys who drive tiny cars plastered with bumper stickers and complain that "society" has kept them down while they polish their guns. Nutjobs.

It will work for the Democrats – provided.... provided they can deliver on their promises to improve the economy and turn around the country.

If the Democrats fail, it will be exposed as merely a smokescreen.

So, partisan on, friends. Just make sure you don't back yourself into a corner.

Any remark remotely critical of Bush was labeled unpatriotic by the same neocons who now want the American President to fail. What happened to all the talk about patriotism and American pride that Rush and others used to bully everyone into silence?

The Obama bubble has burst. Obama is Jimmy Carter Jr.. This guy is a junior varsity leader driving the train off the track completely.

Per Congress, we should start now a movement to throw out all these bums starting in 10 and try getting the good Americans of both parties into Congress.

I think the media is racist. They think Steele is not able to handle being chairman so he needs the white man. Where is the outrage? Where is Jesse? Where is Al?

Still on this Limbaugh thing i see!

Carville and other democrats cant divert peoples attention forever.

Sooner or later people will realise that all they're doing is rambling on about a radio talk show host and realise thats theres more important things to talk about!

They are trying to take the spot light off Obama because they know that impeachment is in the air. Even these 2 bozos don't believe he is a citizen.
He will be impeached before the year is over.

Liberal dolts and the coolaid that they drink. Everything taken out of context so they have someone to hate on. Rush does not want the country to fail. He said that he wanted obama to fail IF HIS GOAL WAS SOCIALIST POLICIES. On the flip side, even if he only said that he wanted obama to fail, he is a radio talk show host. Democrat senators..including obama have been saying for years that they wanted Bush to fail with the war in Iraq...which means that they want more soldiers to die........Democrats have a short memory and a lot of nerve. I didn't see all you dolts complaining then about how dare they want the president to fail.

it's a brilliant plan Mr. Carville! Keep it up!!

Don't blame it on the White House or Carville. Like the tough guys say in movies WE DID THIS TO YOU .YOU UNDERSTAND ITS THE LITTLE GUYS UNITING!

Let's just get back to what is important in America. Fixing the economy. I really could care less about who said what and why. Everyone has a right to state their own opinion..You have to decide whether to listen to it or not. This is nothing but a bunch of distractions and sideshows.

James Carville and friends got caught and now who is back tracking. Maybe Rahm can "dance" his way out of this one! heh,heh
All this has done is added more listeners to Rush in a time when people are starting to doubt the Leadership of our country.
More power to Rush!!!

Rusho is living in stone age. The debates are over with McCain, the party
lost.
Obama is the president now and he is certainly not going to invite you into the Lincoln bedroom. so, get over it.
if you want to self debate, go ahead , debate yourself as crazy lunatic.

Republicans only care about one thing... their pockets.... oh wait... they care about two things: their pockets and winning in politics. Nevermind if it goes against the well being of this nation.

Republican Party into a Limbaughesque caricature.

Before I finished the first paragraph of this article, I was thinking 'you've gotta be kidding me!' Rush should get AALLLLL the credit for this. He hasn't needed any help looking like he's the big cheese. He's pretty much stood up to shake the banner, and the rest of the RNC has bowed down to approve it. They don't need any help from any other party.

Socialism should fail in America that's what Rush Limbaugh is saying, and yes he is angry that the GOP lost but so were you when Bush was in their for eight years, you cried the same tune, I hope he (Bush) fails, well he did, before careful what you ask for, because sometimes you might just get it.

Don't be so narrow minded, President or not, this is still America and God bless us we can still speak our minds. I don't love everyone one of you out their, some of you I hate and I don't even know you, tough!

Racism and hate will always exist, you cannot and will not ever be rid of it, we are just after all human beings not machines. Don't force it, just live with it.

Rush Limbaugh is the new leader of the Republican Party. Rush Limbaugh started this with wanting President Obama fail. If any Republican attempt to work with Obama Administration, Rush will reign them in. Rush Limbaugh is the new Rev. Jerry Falwell.

The Republican Party is "No back bone for old men"

It was Steele and Limbaugh who attacked each other. It didn't escape anyone's notice that Steele had to back down. The neocons worship Limbaugh and thus they're responsible for all the implications and ramifications of such values.

They just don't like it when the Democrats point out reality.

This whole thing blew up when Rahm stated on CBS Sunday Morning that Rush was the leader of the Republican party. Of course that would provoke a response from Steele, who denounced Rush, only to retract under pressure. This all implies of course that Rush is one of the few who do have power in the Republican party - exactly how Rahm wanted it to play out.

I stay neutral in politics (I don't believe either side has the answers). But I find strategy fascinating, and Rahm is the master. It's exactly why Obama picked him as Chief of Staff.

Aaron Sorkin couldn't have written it better.

"Yes" would be the straight answer James.

Humpty dumpty had a great fall.

Wow – they leave the Ann Coulter post open for over a thousand comments and close the post on the unfairness of the mortgage bailout after 90% of the first 200 agreed that deadbeats shouldn't get their mortgages adjusted while the rest of us don't.

"Am I my brother's keeper?" This was posted several times as justification by the liberals for doing the mortgage bailout. I want to remind you that bible quotations were considered by liberals to be "narrow" and "bigotted" during the election...

More hypocracy in action...

Bill, LA,

P.S. When going for the jugular, be sure to drop the "y" from "filthyest" and stick with the "dictionary" version. Peace.

did he ask Michael Steel, Gov Sanford, Eric Canton, and the all GOP to say SORRY to RUSH the God father of the republican clones.

Lets face the facts only republicans are kissing on Limbaughs rear end – good for them they finally have there leader – go for it rushy.

you people took hook line and sinker ,,, rush is laughing all the way to the bank......................morons.......

The Clinton hacks are back!! Why are they afraid of Rush. They won!!! Get on with taking care of the economy. Oh, by the way, it's price and earnings ratio, not profit and earnings ratio. If Bush had made that error when talking about the stock market, it would be all over the liberal media. Do I see double standard?? Naaaaa!!

Rush is a clown, and I'm tired of my Democratic party wasting everyone's time with this rather than addressing real issues. They are going to send the country down the tubes.

I'm just saying....the Right is WRONG.

So? Who cares what he says, like you you can believe that guy anyway.

Please take Rush OUT!!! Rush started it and it's time for the Democrats to get some backbone and end it!!! It's time for Rush to be exposed for what he really is!!

RUSH IS A REAL AMERICAN PATRIOT.(NOT)
SHAME ON YOU!!!!!!!!!!

2012 would be great for the Republicans if their nominee for president is Rush Limbaugh and Ann Coulter as his VP. What a ticket!

Fat Limbo and Lier Rove look like twin evils.

I know who Rush Limbaugh is, but I never listen to him.

I do in fact think about him and the GOP while I'm picking up after my dog in the yard.

He is as relevent to me as the little man that ran Germany into the ground during WWII.

James ,Paul ,Rahm Wh y would i trust these three? NO WAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lush Limpdick, sucks and always has....

Lush Limpdick sucks and akways has...

Just like the Clinton administration (of which this one is just part 2), the Obama administration lives by polls and appearances. Did any one see the report about the cute new seal for the stimulus package? Polls are showing most people don't like it, so he comes up with some stupid seal to sell it. Just another example of all flash with no fire.

Of course its orchestrated.
The countries in the middle of an economic crisis.The markets have no faith in Obamas spending plan,so what do the democrats do??

They make a big deal out of the comments of some radio talk show host! and they hope to God that the people will fall for the bait and get distracted.

Thats leadership you can believe in!

Obama and the Democrats won, so why do they care who is or isn't the lead Republican? Don't they have better things to do like fix the economy and follow through on all their campaign promises? Besides, what happened to bipartisanship? BTW, I don't like Rush.

SHUT UP!!! Both parties need to look around there are more important events happening in AMERICA! RUSH gives Commentary. He is not the leader nor backbone of the GOP!!

with rush as the republican leader the party will never recover! keep talking rush! you doing a fine job!

I am sorry but Carville can not appear on CNN without him naming Limbaugh as the head of the republicans. Begala is the same and appears to be getting more sarcastic and demeaning than I have ever seen him. I love both of them but their act is getting a little tiresome and repetitive for it not to be a concerted effort. And of course throw in the ever lately disrespectful Roland Martin now with his favorite retort to republicans "You lost" routine and they are all getting to be boring.

If you listen to the CPAC speech, Rush makes his point very clear.

He wants every American to succeed and be the best they can be. He has a different opinion as to how Americans become successful and prosperous.

He feels as if America is on the wrong path and he is speaking out.

The link to the CPAC speech is on Rush's web site. Hear it for youself before you judge Rush.

IT'S ABOUT TIME!

frog marshall this toad Rove to jail!!!!!

Rush crossed the line,just like the guy that shouts fire in a movie theater.Hes guilty of treason and should swing for it.

Nobody needs Carville and Begala, two fun guys, to portray GUSH Limbaugh as the leader of the GOP. He did himself, and so, very sadly, did Michael Steele who must feel bad being the "pretend" leader. Poor Republicans, they do not know what to do with GUSH.

Conspiracy? Wow...I don't think so. All I know is the WH better be sure about this, and really hopes that it doesn't backfire.

On 9/11 When America was in crisis all Americans rallied around President Bush.
His approval ratings shot up to over 90%. Republicans, Independents, Democrats and left wing liberals all rallied behind the President.

Now we are in an economic crisis as severe and dire as anything we have seen in our lifetime. Banks are going belly up, Americans are losing their jobs, the stock market continues to plunge, millions of homes are in foreclosure....

And some who call themselves "Americans" are showing their patriotic side by hoping that " Obama fails"

It's hard to believe that some "Americans" could stooped this low.

It's not like the White House made numerous Republican politicians apologize to Limbaugh for perceived insults against him and it's not like they booked him to appear at the CPAC conference!

Rush Limbaugh has perfected the art of being a victim. He shoots his mouth off daily, ranting and raging. He spouts all sorts on of nonsense, never worried about facts. BUT, when someone calls him out, he takes to the air waves whining how he was misinterpreted. He constantly blames the "drive by media" for trying destroy him. This is a person who is so full of himself that he actually thinks President Obama should waste his time by debating him. Is he serious? Yeah, Rush Limbaugh the perpetual victim. He and people like him are doing this country a great dis service.

Is it ethical/legal for White House Staff to target journalist/talkshowhosts in the manner that "White House Staffers" are targetting Limbaugh?If Carville/Bargetta criticized Obama..what are the legal and ethical issues of President Obama telling people not to listen to Carville/Bargetta and then having White House Staffers target the "talking heads" for "attack ads?" Then conspired with the Chief of Staff and White House Aids to to engage in a conspiracy to use Carville/Bargetta as whipping boys in a smear campaign..Carville/Bargetta intentionally misrepresented what Limbaugh said to create an intimidating and threatening situation for Limbaugh..intentionally targetted him for attack..and then stating he was an easy target because he opposes Obama.
When the names are changed, but the facts remain the issue that Gibbs snickers about is potentially very serious...The Politico had it correct..This should concern every Journalist and Media Source in the Nation..

That's nonsense Carville and Begala don't use a attack machine on Limbaugh he's doing that all by himself because with the republicans attacking him and then apologizing publicly like a bunch of politicians that's worried about being rejected in 2010 if they don't support him.This is sooooooo sad that they care more about stepping on Limbaugh's toes then what is good for the american people.The republicans have no balls at all and it makes you wonder how some of them lasted as long as they have,But I think after the past eight years it will be well beyond 2020 before and then there's always an IF they step foot inside the white house as president

I think GOP is running party like a plantation. Michael Steele is like a house slave for GOP. You all saw how Rush Limbaugh told Michael Steele what to do in his Radio show. If he was his slave, he would whip him for disobeyeing him. I think that's a really good strategy for GOP run this party like a plantation. Black people needs to be kept on their toes.

There's no conspiracy. The great limpball is being called out for the crap he continues to say. It was okay when he was talking nonsense to his little cabal of listeners, but it's different when he commits treason by saying he wants the president to fail. I don't think he even believes that President Obama is trying to lead us to socialism, he says it because his brain-dead listeners love this stuff. If this fool told his listeners that the president had werewolf blood, those people would believe him! I am glad that he is being called out. If the GOP want to show that he is not "the boss" they need to call him out and tell him to shut up. What's he going to do if he isn't the boss? The GOP make him appear more powerful that he is because they suck up to him.

WHAT?? A DEMOCRATIC CONSPIRACY?? YOU'RE KIDDING ME?!?

Boss Limbaugh has been bashing the Democrats for decades. This mess is of Rush's own making. Rush is the one who (twice) stated he wants President Obama to fail. Rush's hate for President Obama is so strong he wants the nation to fail just to hurt the President. Rush's blood boils every day President Barack Hussein Obama sits in the White House driver seat. Rush worked harder then both Senator Clinton and Senator McCain combined to derail President Obama during the 2008 campaign season.

This snake is up to his old tricks as you can't defend Barry "we need to cut out waste" Obama and his turning around and signing a bill that has 9000 earmarks in it so they use the political "sleight of hand" to get people talking about a NON-STORY while Rome is burning.

These guys are good, I have to tip my hat for their play here, but my hope is uh, uh, uh, uh it bites them in their backsides real soon.

Rush is a loudmouth and I have no use for him, but he makes a lot of sense sometimes (beyond the bluster) and they are real afraid of him.

The great and smart Michael Steele is the head of MY party, and not this blowhard, but the Lemocrats need to change the subject (see poll where MOST Americans think Obamabi and his bill helping frauds out is WRONG).

But they all are just haters, bigots, Rethuglicans etc, etc right SHEEP?

What ever happened to "We need to focus on the real issues" ? This is such a joke.

Made your bed Rush, now lie in it... if you can fit in it.

It was the Republicans that put RUSH out their as their head speaker on Saturday saying he want President Obama to fail and the Dems responded end of story!

WHAT?? A DEMOCRATIC CONSPIRACY?? YOU'RE KIDDING ME?!?

Boss Limbaugh has been bashing the Democrats for decades. This mess is of Rush's own making. Rush is the one who (twice) stated he want President Obama to fail. Rush's hate for President Obama is so strong he wants the nation to fail just to hurt the President. Rush's blood boils every day President Barack Hussein Obama sits in the White House driver seat. Rush worked harder at derailing President Obama during the campaign season then both Senator Clinton and Senator McCain combined.

Its very simple, Limbaugh is representing the conservative base. Steele was completely right but betrayed by his own party for speaking the truth.

Limbaugh only represents 25% of the electorate which means they will not win an election in 2012, 16,20,24,28, etc.....

Keeping doing what you are doing Limbaugh, you can never reach out to the other 75% of Americans. You and your party have betrayed your country!

Laughable. It's too well coordinated.

It's a shame that there's not an adult in the White House. All Obama is doing is promoting the same old attack politics to which he's devoted his life.

Chicago Politics We Can Believe In.

the republicans are so dumb that no conspiracy is needed. these guys are pretty much at the mercy of Rush Limbaugh. the party of personal responsibility is now blaming pundits for their failure. its pathetic.

HOW I WISH JAMES AND PAUL LEAVE THIS ANIMAL ALONE "RUSH"

Thank you from the United States of Venezual – I mean Americana – I mean America !

Yeah right. You can never believe democrats.

More lies from an incredibly deceitful administration.

LET THE DNC AND MEDIA HANDLE RUSS LIMBAUGH. REMEMBER RUSS LIMBAUGH IS A RACIST, SEXIST, DRUG ADDICT THAT DIDN'T EVEN GRADUATE FROM HIGH SCHOOL. HE SHOULDN'T GET THE TIME OF DAY. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW THE EDUCATION LEVEL OF THE 13 MILLION THAT LISTEN TO THIS RUSS.

LETS GET DOWN TO SOME REAL BUSNESS AND BACK TO THE ECOMOMY.

er, what's wrong with Carville"conspiring" to discredit Limbaugh?

So what if they did? It's a clever strategy and they'd simply be highlighting the shortcomings of the conservative movement.

Carville and Begala....... Sounds like Obama is Clinton part II. Change, huh???

Wow, so Rahm was a ballerina. Thats pretty creepy. Seriously.

Oh, come on.... Limbaugh is an entertainer who told Larry King many years ago that he is not about truth... he is about HUMOR. He's a big fat right wing blow hard... with visions of grandeur!

Please. Did the Whitehouse force the GOP to make Rush the keynote speaker at CPAC? I think not.

Both men have contributed interesting and viable opinions and thoughts to our society over the years, but both are "over the top" and shouldn't even make the news. In as much that Limbaugh has some wise thoughts, he cross dresses between the Middle Ages and the Information Age. Carville needs to learn how to enunciate in the English Language properly. Both need to learn how to not be blatant. I don't care to hear from either of these two men ever in my lifetime. Both are under the intellectual level of most of the people of our great country, not to mention the world.

if the GOP had any type of backbone, they would do to Limbaugh what President Obama did to Rev Wright, cut ties with him and go on about their business. Now you have a talk show host wanting to debate with a sitting president that has more issues on his plate than to try to please dittoheads and soup up ratings. Rush Limbaugh at last check has an approval rating in the mid 20's, higher of course with the right wingos but low over all. If Obama was still a candidate I would say GO FOR IT...like or not he's POTUS..Rush may not accept it or like it but at least show respect for the office. The GOP looks dumber every day they let this farce go on.

Rush Limbaugh doesn't need a conspiracy to make him look bad, he's a natural!

ANYTHING to keep people from focusing on the real issue here; the downward direction Obama is taking this country. A magician "distracts" you so you can't see the fast on he just pulled on you and everyone else!!! Hey CNN, let’s put this crap aside and report on the REAL issues...

I just can't see the Democratic Party trying to cover three wars at one time when our President is talking about ending the war in Iraq. It simply doesn't make sense to have a war in Afghanistan, Iraq, and now in Limbaughland. This has to be a Limbaugh dream. That's what it is. He has begun to be delusional because some one is putting something different in his Metamucil.

Obama has gone to far! Someone/ or some people need to reighn this man in. We will never get out of debt – our grandchildren, our great grandchildren and on & on will never get this giant debt paid. He is totally out of control – he should be impeached!

The man is a radio talk show host for pete's sake!!!!! Don't we have more important things to do than listen or talk about that obnoxious man? He may think he is running the show but he is not. And the more time we waste on him the more publicity he gets. It just shows the mentallity of the republican party. Rush,Sahra Mitt.and Bobby. Everyone needs to stop campainening and try working on fixing the economy . Remember us the little guy?????

They are so full of crap. Everyone knows they suck up to Rahm.
Everyone in the country all bloggers, we make jokes about Stephanopolus. So all we ask is just man=up and tell the truth.

You go James Carville, tell it like it is and let Limbaugh take credit. Limbaugh should be kissing your boots while he's doing push ups and maybe his mouth will for once be put to good use.

obama isn't smart enough to debate Rush Limbaugh.
Limbaugh would chew him up and spit him out.
obama is not brillant. He is not a good debater. He is not a good speaker. He doesn't even begin to know the subject matter as well as Limbaugh.
He is a phony and a fake who doesn't have a clue about how to run this country.
obama and his sidekicks are a disgrace. An utter disgrace.

This is actually too funny! Rush is so full of himself he does not realize the sarcasm being thrown at him. This pompous over-rated hot head is a walking-talking time bomb waiting to blow up in all his sweaty grubby glory! All those other republican members of congress, representatives and those blithering idiots on fox news are in for a rude awakening!

Carville and Emmanuel wrote the book on dirty tricks. Obama runs a very calculated well planned campaign leaving nothing to chance. The Limbaugh attacks, web site, et all were likely all hatched at Camp David

Does the "Bloated One" really think that that the President of the United States, or anyone with an IQ over 70 for that matter (certainly explains his appeal to the Republican base) gives a flaming rat's arse what he says, does or thinks. He is even more irrelevant to rational, patriotic Americans than his entire party of miserable losers.

Seems his ego is as bloated as his body and flapping jowls.

The Right has Rush. The Left has Carville. The People have unemployment and a government spending like drunken sailors and headlines saying the President is cutting wasteful spending.

Baa Baa – we really are sheep.

This is so funny.....now even the media guys have to hire someone to fix their big mouth issues...and I mean Linbaugh.

If Carville and Begala did that I am fine with that. Rushhthugs should be brought to justice for treason – he wants the President and the nation to fail. Having voted Republican I switched to Obama and now Republicans have to make a convincing argument why they want mine and millions of voters like me. Rushthug and his crony thugs have pushed us to Obama camp even more.

Let's see, Begala meets with Rahm Emanuel, then meets with Carville. Then Begala meets with George Stephanopolous, then the attack on Rush begins.

Conspiracy? Naaaaaa. Its a negative Stimulus.

Okay.... This is really starting to get stupid. I want to talk to all of you about something. Something very serious. I will tell you up front that I am a republican and I can count the minutes that I have listened to Rush Limbaugh on one hand and still have room to hold a cup of coffee. We have enough problems in this country without having to hear propaganda pushing. That's what it's turning into. Rush Limbaugh has turned into a Democratic Axe. An axe that hacks away at the Republican party. For the record. Rush Limbaugh is a radio talk show host. He is not a politician. He is a man that simply likes to toot his own horn on the hope that people will believe what he says and stand behind his point of view. He is not all knowing. He is not the Savior of the Republican Party and is definately not the leader of it. He is nothing more than a little man that tries to shout a big word. Unfortunately, that word that he puts out is gospel to some and gas on the fire for others. I don't care if you're Democrat or Republican or any other party. Don't let this junk turn into something that is going to bias us more than we already are. I belong to a part of opposition and this time I do oppose. I think that our government is being childish and kneeling before the wishes of a radio talk show host. We are better than that America. Show it.

...I hate rush limbaugh. If there was someone like him in the democratic party, he or she has obviously been disowned.

Why blame the Dems for the Repubs loving Rush? IS IT WHAT IT IS !!!

They have no true leader so are they embarressed that Rush has taken the opportunity to push himself front and forward? If so maybe some of the brighter in their party will come forward . So far I have not seen to many that would fit the bill.
Most just seem to kiss his very large behind which makes me ill.

Carville and Begala are smart men and all they have to do is sit back and watch this soap opera! I bet they are laughing all the way to the bank , getting paid for watching the GOP self destruct !

must begetting kind of uncomfortable for the party of NO and there spokesperson rush the cry baby limbaugh. if you cant stand the heat maybe you shouldnt be in the kitchen.

Rush is right.

The media's obsession with Rush is really getting old fast. He has gotten more free publicity in the past week because Democrats whine about him everytime they're in front of a camera.

Carville....Begala....Emanuel... nothing but pure gutter trash.

Someone with an ego like Rush Limbaugh's is loving every minute of this. If everyone has to be apologized to him every time someone dares step out of line, he is definately the leader. What a sad day for Republicans. They have a party run by a huge blowhard ENTERTAINER! What a joke they have become. "Betcha" Sarah Palin, Joe the fake plumber, Ann Coulter, Hannity. All fakes!

CNN PLZ NO MO Rush Limbaugh!!!

Rush is his own biggest problem. No one should ever consider being on his show, because he nevers lets the other person speak. He will ask a question, and before the person gets two words out Rush starts shouting "COMMUNIST" or LIER or some other evil comment to covedr over what ever answer the person was trying to give.

The fact that he is now challenging Obama shows how afraid he is. It is now clear that he knows that Obama will succeed and it will make him look all the more foolish.

No, hats off to you Carville and Begala for calling this fat pig out for what he is, and thanks for exposing the corrupt, docile Republican cowards who back this idiot.

The "A" Team...

...Carville and Begala...

..."I'm lovin' it"...

Why do the Democrats care what Rush thinks?? It's so stupid. I don't remember the Republicans caring about Michael Moorer (whatever his name is). Who cares about Rush and Ann Coulter?? The Dems are the ones empowering them!

Rush needs to be derailed his comments were anti-american, and defeatist, but what do you expect from republicans who have done nothing constructive to help with the current financial crisis. Besides
Steele apologized to Limbaugh if that don't say it all I don't know what does! Rush He Da' Man!!

Rush will single handedly ruin it for the GOP and these republicans are not calling him out on this. He is trying to divide what we work so hard to accomplish, and the rest of these republicans senators who are enjoying this just remember Rush is not up for re-election so continue on this part that you are going it will hurt you in the end.

Begala and Carville are two of the best polictical minds in the country. Keep it up love listening to the facts.

Love ya Jimmy!

I use to trust carvelle and his wife to give you both sides of the picture, but looks to me like carvelle swallowed a whole bunch of kool-aid. Anybody who is a REAL AMERICAN and loves this country would want to see bo's policies fail.

lol. cheerleader not a drum major......lol that is so funny but the media has amplified the chorus. That was nice!

I can't imagine the White House pays a lot of attention to Rush. He would be far too easy a target and is likely beneath their notice. They have more important things to plot and strategize around.

“After more failed stints with Missouri radio stations Limbaugh
moved to Sacramento, CA, where he met and became "friends"
with Norm Woodruff, a flamboyant, openly gay man with a
great deal of influence in the local radio scene. Woodruff, who
mentored Limbaugh in the ways of affluence and elitism (traits
Rush mocks today), would later die of AIDS Through his ties to Woodruff Limbaugh was given Morton Downey Jr’s spot on KFBK News Talk 1530AM”.

“In May 2004 Rush's third wife, Marta, grew tired of never
having sex with her allegedly closeted homosexual of a
husband, and so asked for a divorce. Limbaugh complied after his
desperate wife agreed to never reveal the true nature of Rush's
sexual perversion“.

So, let's recap,

That would explain the self-loathing.

3 failed relationships with 3 different women

Public knowledge due to his drug addictions, he must use Viagra to consummate a relationship with any woman

Could it be?

Could Limprick also be tapping out Broadway show tunes in public bathrooms with his shoe when there is a cute young boy toy in the adjoining stall?

Or does he too, just have a "wide stance" when seated?

Not that there is anything wrong with that.

At least no one (on either side) is mistaking James or Paul for the de facto leaders of the Democratic Party.

Rush Limbaugh is a disgusting, immature, cruel and sorry individual. What ever he says is vocal vomit. I remember him calling women femi-Nazies not that long ago. He is worse than anything but the KKK. I can't think of one thing that he has done right. NOTHING. I can't believe he is still on the radio. What does that tell you? He is so out of touch with reality that I think he needs help. I wish the media (Politico and CNN) would quit "looking" for a conspiracy and ignore the big fat ugly blowhard. He is not worthy of one moment of air time. He is worse than any of the other goofy people on radio that only the people who have nothing better to do listen to day after day. He contributes to crap that floats around in this country. Free speech? It's just smuts which is TUMS backwards. He is just a belly ache for the rest of us.
The fringe far right is exactly that. A fringe. I say majority rules. Get it on with Obama, Rush, or get off the ear of the fringe.

if Washington can get away with killing the DC Madam they can get away with killing Rush Limburger....

nuff said...

the ONLY people that will believe that are the lemmings that voted for obama and who will continue to follow obama and the dems right off the cliff.

Isn't everybody getting sick of the Limbaugh story?
We know he's the leader of the republican party...he said so himself.
We know the republicans are scared of him...they keep crawling back to him for forgiveness when they speak out against him.
We know the republicans are spineless and running scared...even their RNC leader (Steele) kissed and made up with Limbaugh.
Limbaugh is paid $800 million to spew his hate and filth...sadly the republican party has fallen for him hook line and sinker.
SO, why try and point fingers at the White House – why try and pin all this crap on the Democrats? Get real!!!
Can we please move on and find something more interesting to discuss....like maybe Paris Hilton or Brittany Spears? LOLOL

Rush loves the publicity. If anybody has an agenda, it's him, not the White House. They're just trying to run a country.

Carville and Begala should not dignify those charges with an answer.
Rove and Limbaugh are throwing those allegations out there to muddy-up the water.

The Repugs have grovelled before the "throne" of Limbaugh and now they are even more repugnant than ever. Can't wait for 2010!

Just like Republican's too start something that they are not qualified to finish.

Republicans are near extinction.

We are witnessing the fall of the Republican Party.....hopefully, never to rise again. Thanks Rush!

I wouldn't believe this whole back and forth banter was for real if I did not read it with my own eyes. Only in a country that an idea like a pet rock could get legs could a nonentity like Rush Limbaugh survive, much less succeed. What does this say about us ????

I like Rush because he is very well experienced in the political field and anyone that thinks they can fool better think again. He will find you out. The only statement I didn't like is when Rush said he hopes Obama fails. He should have said I hope his policies fail. He worded it all wrong. The president cannot afford to fail. I didn't vote for Obama and I know he is making mistakes. That's what happens with lack of experience. Obama was not ready to run this country and I believe the public is just finding that out. There will be more mistakes made and no ones knows these bailouts are going to cause a deep depression in this country. Maybe worse than 1929.

You are a bunch of liberal scum. Carville has always been a thug so I guess it's no big news that he hangs with President obama and his thugs for an administration. Hope Rush kicks your butts. Rush has more brains than the whole obama administration. He has facts, truths something obama will never know about.

End this acrimony now! Let President Obama debate Limbaugh (sans teleprompter) and kill the conservative movement.... if he can.

The Republican party is a trip. All this false outrage and the unwillingness to distance themselves from Limbough for political reasons is crazy. In the end the RNC is afraid to stand up to a popular republican radio talk show host. What wimps they are!

The Obama White House could careless about rush because he is nothing but a big mouth drugy blow heart.

************************************************************************
“I think that honestly I don’t want to take credit away from the great Rush Limbaugh who did it on January 16 when he said he wanted the president’s policies to fail, and that’s what started the whole thing,” Carville said. “So don’t give Paul and I, or Rahm credit. Credit is due to the great Rush Limbaugh. So my hat’s off to you, Rush.”

All hail Supreme Ruler Limbaugh, Anointed Guru of the Republican Party.

Conspiracy implies a secret. This is not a secret. Until they find moderation that idiot Linbaugh might as well be their leader

I think you guys should go after the dirtball..All he does is spread hate
around this country..Someday Rush,we all have to answer to God ..
I know that I will have to answer to the feelings that I have for you..
They are not pretty !!

I think we are witnessing the end of the Republican party.

the clinton war room and politics of personal destruction continues. this absolutely orchestrated with the whitehouse. no better hatchet men than serpent head and the uber bigot.

Is that Voldemort?

Note that neither one denied coordinating with the White House. Which means that they are coordinating. Perhaps they are not "working" for the WH or "taking orders" from the WH, but they are talking strategy with the WH. Typical politicians – can't tell the direct truth.

Who needs terrorists when we have the GOP?

Look for "historical" Democratic landslides in future elections.

Looks like Rush is going to be the Republican candidate for President in 2012............President Obama has nothing to fear.

And we are suppose to believe the Demoncrates, right

Stop, people, stop! You do not have to answer to every baseless allegation from the Rushpublicans! Let them devour themselves if that's what they want, but there's no reason for us to stand so close to the spray of blood.

The Republicans better wise up.

The Adminstration itself is a conspiracy

The Democrats delivered Rush a swift kick in the butt, while the Republicans continue to lick his boots.

Rush Limbaugh and his followers will fail in the face of unity, diversity, boldness, patriotism, love for fellow American and the emerging generation’s wish to correct the past. This is not about Rush Limbaugh and the republican party but "we the people", the majority of Americans

During election the republican slogan was “America First”. After the election the outdated “republican values” is the priority. What a party and a group.
If their wishes come through we all might be asking for asylum or refugees status in Canada or Mexico in a year or two from now.

The Democrats won't be issuing Rush Limbaugh an apology....only the Republican's issue him those. lol lol lol lol lol

why is it that when Rush, or any other GOP loud mouth for that matter, makes a fool of themselves it's got to be CNN fault? Just like Palin. If I am quoted saying something stupid and CNN reports that, it's still what I said. No matter who repeats it or polls about it or writes about it or talks about it.
Rush, you're just a jerk. And I didn't need CNN to tell me that. You do a fine job of that all on your own.

Who cares if they did. If they did, I say BRAVO. I love the ragin' cajun!
I think he could easily take Rush in an UFC style fight!

Limbaugh IS the conspiracy!

Relax Carville,

No one is paying attention to this fat pig except for a few rednecks.

What Rush is talking about is that if Obama wants this country to be a socialist country he wants the president to fail then. But nobody listen they just jump on one line and all hell breaks loose.

Plot or conspiracy?They're both the same,it all depends on which side of any given story you're expressing from.

You can easily tell when Carville is lying or saying something stupid. His lips move.

Mr Limbaugh is clearly anti-american. Anyone who hopes the President of the USA fails in his policies when the country is falling apart has to be short of brain cells.

The rest of the world has been laughing at the USA for the past 8 years and now that you have a President who cares and makes sense you have this raving lunatic wishing him to fail.

To debate him would be stooping to such a low level that not even a limited intellectual would accept.

Limbaugh must be back on drugs...and off the street kind...for him to keep ranting and raving. But then again he symbolizes and is the leader of the now defunct GOP.

What a sorry state of affairs they created and still want to do again.

Mr. Carville, Mr. Begala :

After twenty years of having to listen to that "outermost shell of a Rush Limbaugh nesting doll," it was really, really great to see him get his today.

Great job, guys – my hat is off to you both!

Whatever James. Why does Robert Gibbs single out people like Limbaugh, Jim Cramer and Rick Santelli by name? Why does the DCCC have a anti-Limbaugh site? Are you saying the White House is unaware what the press secretary is saying? Please. Not defending any of these individuals, but I am a little shocked that the White House feels this behavior is acceptable.

If Rush wants to debate Obama then he must run for president in 2012. If Rush does not run for President, then it proves that he is afraid to debate Obama or anyone else for that matter. Rush is a big fat Oxycontin-addicted pompous egotistical lying psychotic douche bag only idiots would waste their lives by listening to his lying hate speech rants.

Conspiracy,like Oxycotton.

He's (Limbaugh) actually frying in his own frying pan full of his own oil!

I just figured something out about the Simpsons: Rush Limbaugh is the model of Krusty the Clown and Michael Steele is Sideshow Bob.

ooh, plausible deniability. My favorite of the old Begala/Carville dirty tricks book. Gee, they haven't aged a bit since the Clinton scandals, have they?

Hollywood has got to make this into a movie.

Why is the media focusing on the piece of sh– Rush Limbaugh and his republican friends. Why? Him, nor his biggoted friends are not worth the dogshi– that they wallow in. President Obama has not, and will not stoop to their level, and stoop, he would have to, because you cannot get any lower than Rush and Friends. Let it go Media, move on to something important.

Yes, as well Mr. Limbaugh SHOULD be included in polls. He should be the "bottom of the barrel, pond-scum variable". In any graph, one should portray the high spot, the median, and the low spot. Mr Limbaugh has worked diligently to prove himself – no one should take away his hard-earned accomplishments. The "blow-hard" variable should ALWAYS be recognized and factored into the stats. Great job Rush! Keep up the inferior work!

Rush Limbaugh is an obnoxious person if there ever was one! He is totally negative and panders to losers. Having said that, I think that enough has been said on CNN and elsewhere and we should just let him rant and rave but not give him any more publicity. All these loudmouths fade in popularity when they are not mentioned over and over again. Remember Joe the Plumber? Exactly my point.

The Democratic National Committee News Network – DNCNN (formerly known as CNN) has been lock-step with Obama for over a year now.

You're the same people that talked about Sarah Palin's wardrobe 11 days in a row, yet the fact that Obama screwed the pooch with his letter to Russia on his first Foreign Policy fumble is out of the news cycle already.

Asking Paul Begula to comment on Paul Begula's actions is like the old joke, "I'm the smartest guy in the world, if you don't belive me, just ask me."

The MSM is not to be trusted, with the exception of Lou Dobbs and FOX.

This is toooooo funny. Republicans are really predictable. Next they'll be blaming Sasha and Malia for this whole BS.

The GOP continues to get PLAYED by their own man Rush Limbaugh AND yet they are too stupid to know it. They continue to BLAME everyone else when they themselves hoisted Rush up as their NEW MESSIAH, their new GODFATHER OF THE GOP!!!

This is EXACTLY why the GOP continue to tank in the polls. They are GIVING James Carvile, Paul Begala way too much CREDIT and POWER!! The GOP, thanks to Rushy himself, is putting James Carville and Paul Begala back in the "driver's seat" by boosting political careers!! If I was James Carville or Paul Begala, I'd be laughing my head off at the circus being played out within the GOP while my political career gets a HUGE BOOST.

What does this mean? The GOP STARTED the ball rolling when they USHERED Rush Limbaugh onto their "circus stage", BIG MISTAKE because Rush Limbaugh is ALL about his celebrity greed, just look at how much he continues to run his mouth at the expense of the GOP!! Hello?

Actually, the Democrats don't need to do anything.

The Republican party is doing to itself what Dick Chaney told the Senator from Vermont to do to himself.

Rush Limbaugh has been attacking Democrats for about twenty years, and made an art of attacking Bill Clinton. He is a big-mouthed blow-hard, and if anyone wants to show him for what he is he should be big enough to take it....eh, not that I think he is big!!!

Sir
Has anyone noticed how much, other that for the girth, Mr. Limbaugh sounds, acts and looks like Adolf Hitler?

If ones recalls MR. Limbaugh’s addresses, speeches and actions on and off the stage, he sounds and acts just like the speeches and performances of Adolf Hitler. It does not take much digging to find very similar rhetoric from Hitler that matches very closely to Limbaugh’s opinions and statements. Additionally, Limbaugh’s movements and expressions remind me of the clips of Hitler’s rantings and ravings while addressing his ultra conservative audience.

I suggest that some professional group needs to constantly expose and post similar rhetoric on everything Limbaugh says in comparison to Hitler and show the American people just what kind of a person that he is, in my opinion very dangerous.

It would seem to me, if my observations are anywhere close to accurate the sponsors of his talk radio show would drop him like a hot rock.

I could go on and on about the similar political concepts of Limbaugh to Hitler, but I will leave that to others much more gifted in exposing this man for what he is. Entertainer, I don’t think so?

Hey if the Alien wants to run around chasing Rush Limbaugh in

circles than let him.

I personally think it is pretty funny that Gibbs as a press secretary and

Rahm Emanuel is so so scared of Rush.

These monkeys spend more time on a radio show host than they

do trying to solve the economic problems. Get a clue guys.

What do the socialists know? I say, let's nominate a Palin-Limbaugh ticked in 2012 and stun the world with a 90% victory for Conservatism. Can you see Ron Paul as Secretary of the Treasury? How about Tom Delay at Justice? Newt Gingrich could fill in nicely as Secretary of State. Why, within six months, the market would be booming, the average household income would probably be $100,000 annually, and Americans would not need health insurance - they would just pay cash up front.

Come on, America! Let's go!

Rush, Paul, James.......all scum from the same pond!

"WHITE HOUSE CONSPIRACY"!!! IS this a joke???????????????

SO typical of the far-right to see the boogie-man everywhere!

ITS NOT ENOUGH TO AROUSE FEAR WITH THE PUBLIC......... NOW THE GOPERS ARE BELIEVING THEIR ........OWN LIES!

LOL!

EXCUSE ME but Mr. Limbaugh has PUT HIMSELF out there as THE LEADER of the Republican Party.

Please, when the so called Leader, has to call Mr. Limbaugh to APOLOGIZE to him......I'd say Mr. Limbaugh IS THE LEADER.

NO ONE NEEDS TO HELP MAKE HIM THAT WAY.....HE'S DONE THAT HIMSELF.

Limbaugh came right out and said he's the leader of the repblican party... and the republicans have all but kissed his rear end.
So, why point fingers at the White House?
Why all the drama?

Ol' limplips can spew his hate but you can't poll how many people hate him? Freedom of speech is still alive Rush live with it.
Rush (a legend in his own mind) go take your hillbilly heroin and viagra have a great heart attack .... .er life. Oh, by the way, don't hold your breath on debating the Prez, you're about as relevant to him as a rats a$$ on the sun.

So I do! But will you? I doubt it. You just shut the door. But leave your own window open.... So I have a smaller targetl.

I would argue that Obama brought up Rush Limbaugh not once, but on a couple of occasions during the campainging and recently, even before Rush's tirade on hopes of "failure." This is besides the point: there is an inevitable rift in the Republican party, where they held people like Palin, Jindal, Steele, and even Mccain's adopted child from Burma up on pedestals to show that they are a diverse party too.
Give me a break, Republicans lost against the new Movement in American politics, and they are still in denile.

Give me a break. This fat slob has been running his mouth for years and when it comes back on him, he whines like a child. Here's some advice – if you can't take it, don't dish it out.

Can we please move on to the investigation into Bush's crimes against America?

these people on the right are nothing more than traitors to this country. these people on the right are obstructionist, these people on the right are destructive, these people on the right are terrorist. these people on the right wants america to fail because we have a black president. wake up america and smell the republicans, vote these racists out of office come any election.

RUSH LIMBAUGH HOPES THE PRESIDENT TO FAIL. IS THIS WHAT THE REPUBLICANS CALL PATRIOITIC? APPARENTLY THE RIGHT WING REPUBLICAN PARTY SUPPORTS PARTY OVER COUNTRY.

RUSS LIMBAUGH IS A HIGH SCHOOL DROP OUT SUPPORTED BY 20 MILLION SIMPLE MINDED RIGHT WING RADICALS. JUST LIKE "JOE THE PLUMBER" WAS NEVER A PLUMBER. JUST A BUNCH OF ILLUSIONS AND LIES!

GO RUSH! YOUR FACE WILL LOOK GOOD ON THE FRONT OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY BANNER.

Who care's? It is more about fair-play. You always come out after the fact, America! The west was made to show, how vulnerable it was/is in the early 2000's.
But that is not the true picture. You help nobody beating-up on the pevious: until you show something better. sHUT UP...

why can't the republicans admit that limbaugh was wrong when he said I WANT HIM TO FAIL, he should be tried for treason.

The GOP always think there's a conspiracy against them, especially when they don't get their way. Please I think the White House has more imporant things to do.

Limbaugh is having quite a year. He has gone from a big mouth yelling that he hopes the new American President fails to being a victim of a 'conspiracy' theory. Nothing worse than a drama queen.

I don't think Mr. Limbaugh needs help from anyone to spread his words of doom and hate!!! I have never liked him or his message. I remember him calling everyone traitors, when they were opposed to the war, now he is opposed to making the United States whole again.
I never wanted any President or his policy to fail. Rush is just getting people to listen to his talk show and therefore his sponsors. He holds no real power. If he believed as he pretends, he would run for office--oh that's right, usually liars and drug addicts don't get elected.
HHmmmmm!

So what if they coordinate with the white house. The public needs to know that Limbaugh is the infallible and defacto leader of the republican party. The spineless republicans elected to congress should call Limbaugh every morning to get their matching orders for the day lest they say something that might offend the "great" Rush. Obama is the President of the US. If his policies fail, the US fails. Who in his right mind would want this? This is beyond pathetic.

Carville is so far to the left that he makes centrists look like they are far right wing idiots....

Ok, maybe the illuminati are behind Obama, or maybe he is the antichrist, or maybe he does have a piece of the spear of destiny……

Or, maybe so many sheeple were just wanting to make history, or vote for him from misplaced guilt, or just voted for him because of the color of his skin.

Whatever the case, it is obvious to people that think for themselves that he is on his way to ruining this country, sending it the same way the Roman Empire went.

If we as a country want to survive as anything other than a 3rd world country, we need to elect people in 2010 that will block at least the most dangerous of his actions.

Sometimes I wonder if old Rush lived in another country if he wouldn't have been silenced years ago. By either a firing squad or a hangman. I detest this guy but I'll stick with Patrick Henry in that "Sir,I disagree with what you say but will defend to the death your right to say it." Quit giving this blowhard gas bag a platform to extoll his foul garbage and you'll greatly reduce his effectiveness.

Right...so they didn't deny it.

It might be appropriate for Limbaugh and Carville to debate. The only problem might be that Carville could blow a fuse because he is more emotionally involved in his political stands. I often think Rush would change sides if someone paid him enough. Just remember that Rush has an audience of puppets. When he repeats enough times that he won a debate or golf tournament or whatever it is, they will believe it, even if you have a video that proves its not true.

rush limbaugh and the republicans shot all be on a plane to the middle east so this country could be a better place.

Consdier your race card pulled.

Limbaugh is not an "entertainer", he is an irritant. I do not think he is humorous, intelligent, or credible. Why would President Obama stoop to debate that bozo? He's like a gnat, a pesky person that you just want to slap away. The only people that I know that like Limbaugh voted twice for Bush and that's a fact. The Republican Party has narrowed it's appeal to a minority of right wing die-hards. Cut the obfuscation crap and admit it you neocon dummies, Limbaugh started it, Steele sealed it, and now you are stuck with it. King Rush

Oh, and no one on the left ever wanted George W. Bush to fail. Ever.

These Clowns are losing their steam.

14 DEMOCRAT Senators TODAY came out against little barack's

spending plans.

Former Barack back JIM CRAMER has come out and said he has never seen a president cause SO MUCH DESTRUCTION OF WEALTH

Sounds like the honeymoon is over barack.

Give Michelle the checkbook back. You clearly do not know what you are doing.

Of course they are part of the movement to shout as loud and as long as they can that Rush Limbaugh is the leader of the Republican party. That's what these two do, and have always done. Say things enough times and somehow it becomes true.

The fact is that these two were among the most vocal Bush Bashers for years, and that was okay, they and all the other dems were entitled to their opions, same as Rush Limbaugh and people who listen to him.

What I find is ironic is that while these two and their minions were attacking Bush, President Bush, never personally attacked them or anyone else. In fact, no President has ever made a personal public attack on anyone, until now, the President who was elected to change the climate of Washington has become the first President to use his pulpit to personally attack someone who doesn't agree with him.

Rush Limbaugh should run for office. Oh yeah – except for that whole drug thing. I think it was mixing Viagra and Oxycotton. Wasn't that the combo?

Yes, I would definetly trust the word of the impartial, bi-partisan, tolerant Mr. Carville. I believe him that Rush Limbaugh is a racist bigot who wants the president to fail because he's black. I don't care that Rush said he wants Obama to fail because his socialist policies are going to ruin the country; Rush is obviously wrong to oppose our first black president, who is going to save us from the evil rich corporations and give us lots of money and toys and free healthcare and slurpees and houses and the jobs to pay for those things are just going to fall out of the sky because Lord Obama has come to save us, how dare Rush question him, because he is black.

Now Carville and Begala want to do for Obama what they did for Shillary. Ha! Good luck. She is now known as a self-centered freakazoid, like they are. Good job. I guess this is the "heart" of the democratic party now.

"I don’t take orders from anybody, except CNN, my boss.”

Excellent response

go go go, attack soviet, keep your foot on the back of his neck and do not let him up.

Republicans, come out and playyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

I am not a Rush Limbaugh listener but I hope President Obama's plan fails too. Does that make me the new leader of the Republican Party? James Carvelle and his cohorts are idoits!!!

Consider the source on this one .....Rush Limbaugh

Bank of America is laying off US based staff and replacing them with off short (India) or near shore (Guadalajara, Jalisco Mexico) staff. In short I'm competing to keep my job with someone that is getting paid less. I do feel very fortunate to have my job during these times, however it's no fun waiting to be replaced at some point myself. Wouldn't it be a little more respectful of the bank to offer them to keep there job, but with a pay cut? Outsourcing is directly contributing to this deep recession.

Ah the American way, Rove wants a verbal cage fight with Obama. No wonder the Republicans are a lost cause. They are self-destructing and don't need any help from a White House "conspiracy" to do so.

these two have been the stench of the dumbocrat party for 16 years, especially the forehead.(not carville)

Rush started the feud? You mean the feud in which the President, Chief of Staff, Press Sec, and Democratic Strategists leveled public attacks on a private citizen? That feud?

It's obvious that Bush is no longer a convenient scapegoat, so they have to move on to the next target. So how many election cycles will Democrats be running campaigns against Rush Limbaugh?

Are people seriously that dumb to not see what is happening here?

Just because a lot of people agree that Rush Limbaugh is an ugly entertainer more in love with his voice and getting attention than reasoned discourse and helping our country does not mean there's a conspiracy against him. Limbaugh is quite the egotist – and sounding more and more paranoid every day.

And you wonder why the American public is leary of the BIASED media, especially when you read the following: "Carville was asked on CNN’s The Situation Room about a report in Politico that said Carville and his longtime friend, CNN contributor Paul Begala, pushed the idea of attacking Limbaugh in their daily conversations with White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel." The same is being told of ABC's George Stephanopoulos and his daily conversations with Rahm Emanuel. It's all about "the spin". We, as a people can NO LONGER depend on the American media to be unbiased and to tell the truth. This is truly as very sad day for journalism!! ...now, let's see if this comment will be published.

Limbaugh is challenging the Democrats to drive him out, shut him up.

Well, Rush, you're here to stay.
Get used to it.

You're the best thing that's happened to the Democrats since the Inauguration!

Keep talking, Rush, just keep right on talking!

Do Obama and Rambo and pea brain Begala and skin head Carville really think they can quite Repeblican oppositon to Obama's out of control spending by attacking Limbaugh and claiming he is the Republican leader? Even if Limbaugh disappeared from the face of the earth, no Republican would support Obama's spendulus bill or his nearly 4 trillion dollar budget. Obama is out of control and no Republican will support it. Doesn't matter who this bunch of idots think is our leader.

James Carville is like Karl Rove in a way.

If he's on your team, you love him because he knows how to win.

If he's on the other team, you hate his guts for the same reason.

Rush Rush he's our man

Trying to dash the hope of Yes We Can

The Fat Drug Addict

Is an Acrobatic

With Gingrey and Steel on the coattails in tow

Swinging to the mantra that bought them so low

Their a pittiful Lott

That can't see how Trent got caught

Their days are over

The country's now sober

The days of finger pointing

Got killed by the year 2000 anointing

This stuff is real it too easy. Too Bad Its So Disastrous

I can't believe the hypocrisy of the Democratic party...wow. Can this guy tell a lie with a straight face or what? The Democrats have wanted President Bush to fail for the last 8 years and no one said a thing. One PRIVATE citizen says he wants President Obama to fail and all hell breaks loose. What about the other millions of Americans who want president Obamas policies to fail? If this leads us to socialism, I want Obama to fail also.

Does any body out there know where I can get a list of businesses that advertise on the Rush Limbaugh Show? I have been to his web-site and I can't seem to locate such a list.

I would love nothing more than to boycott any company that pays for advertising on this windbags show.

Of course Rush started the feud when he made that hateful speech at CPAC, it was a challenge that he sent out, but the Democrats did not jump to join in and take the bait. Instead it was the Republicans by first saying they disagreed with his statement that he wanted the President to fail, and then when Rush got mad at them they fell right in line and went and kissed his ring and his aXX like the toadies they are. Rush needs confirmation of his bias and there are many in the Republican party and the country who will give it to him and eats it right up and bounces and bounces just like the clown he is and they can't see that, what a hoot. The Democrats are not foolish enough to fall for his bloated comments, there is no need for them to do that, Rush and his followers can make fools of themselves all by themselves, without any help, he has enough Kool Ade for all of them it seems.

Straight from the mouth of one of the most partisan people in our country! The Democraps scream race, partisan, discrimination, etc. when it fits their agenda. Otherwise they testify in front of Congress that "skill labor and white construction workers" should not benefit from the Porkulus Bill (Yes, Mr. Robert Rieche).

What a bunch of criminals! (on BOTH sides!!!)

Rush needs a love life. Why else would he seek so much attention. Maybe his mother refused to pay him attention as a child and this is the reason behind the drug addiction and the constant need for approval from others. He needs therapy. I can't be the only one that sees this.

Memo To Rush Limbaugh,

Debating the President of the United State would be a good Idea.
You need to be nominated as the next Republican candidate in 2011 for that to happen . President Obama would welcome you to a presidential debate if you get nominated.
So for now continue with your blowhard daily talk show.
For now make sure you approve every daily talking point by the republicans in congress and senate before the appear in the media.

You bunch of stupid little sh__ts! The country is falling apart and you scheme and play stupid games and get paid for it? You should feel guilty taking your huge salaries.

Carville is right! The Russian born Russ Limbaugh, by Natashia Schlerriski and Russschlirschem Verblirschirf, has brain-washed the Republican party with his ancient idiology. He's a thing of the past and anybody who chooses to follow that path is doomed.

Carvel is kinda right, Limbaugh did say he wanted the president to fail, but they didn't *have* to respond to him.

Now it's become a game of who gets the last word in.

One should never pay the slightest attention to anything that begins with the three words " James Carville says"

Rush, get over yourself. Obama was elected by the people, not you.
Debating you is a moot point. He does not need your blessing to do his job.

The lush's popularity peaked in 2003 at 20 million and is now at 14 million and dropping. Google it, Carville had nothing to do with it.

Limpbaugh stated he "wants Obama to fail" specifically. All you dittoheads can try and spin it however you want, but that was his statement to CPAC..

Seems I remember another angry furor over "words taken out of context". Repubs got very angry over Wright stating "Godda&n America", seems I do not recall anything but anger from the rabid right. He tried to explain it and it was never accepted only jeered and calls for Obama to repudiate such words. Or how about a "nation of cowards" for those repubs with short term memory loss. Those words were red meat for the neo-cons.

President Obama left his church, but I hear no calls from the neo-cons and repubs for the lush to retract his statements. Instead, all of them are apologizing and sucking up like a little girl. So, do not pretend this is not exactly the same situation because it is, but your party is now on the receiving end.

Everyone has a right to freedom of speech. Limbaugh can say President Obama can fail. We in turn, can call Limpballs a douche bag. It is kind of how that whole freedom of speech thingy works.
And if it seems we are "attacking" or ganing up on Limprick, then maybe that is because he and his neo-con followers are in the MINORITY. A reality that most neo-cons are still denying even after the 11/4 blowout..

And for the record, the bald bonehead's "joke" during the CPAC speech about God wanting to be Rush Limbaugh, was blasphemy, at least Rev. Wright did not mock God and country in one speech.

Even I don't believe James.

Hey Rush – The debates are over and PRESIDENT Obama won them (hence, his new title). Why don't you debate Michael Steele to see who the leader of your party is?

James Carville is the filthyest, most disgusting form of human garbage I have ever had the pleasure of seeingHe is pure unadulterated fecal material, as is Paul Begala and Rahm Emanual.

Mr. Rush is simply an american version of Bin Laden!!!!

How could you say you want the president to fail????? Don't you know if he fails the whole nation fails???? A man like you make me sick!!!

So...Carville DOES wear hats.

I knew it.

I'm also glad he realized popularity is the only thing that really matters, finally.

Ah, James Carville, the Random Chaotic of Democratic strategists. I had been thinking that it was Rahm Emanuel that picked up Limbaugh's clumsily thrown gauntlet, but if James Carville is involved? I can hardly wait to see how he trips up Rush next

In good dramatic theater there are usually intertwined plots at different levels.

What the Republican philosophy has done to the world is the tragedy, to be reflected upon by experts and thinking people at great depth. It is the real substance that underlies the "tragic play."

The Rush subplot and all the fun discussion it has stimulated is just the "side play", the comic relief and entertainment for the folks who can not fathom the depth of the main plot, the tragedy. It is just the fun side of the play. By all means we can all embrace that too and enjoy it, but let's remember it is only that: the minor part of the play, the entertainment that amounts to little, should not be taken too seriously, and will not last long.

At least Mr. Carville is not kissing Rush's ring. LOL NOW, the great Rush is blaming the economic mess on the six weeks of President Obama.

I wonder if he is on drugs? Oh wait, yeah he is and I forgot that news flash. This is America! An uneducated druggie challenges the President of the United States. God Bless America!

I agree with James Carville all the credit goes to the great Rush, the official leader of the Republican party. Someone needs to slap him back to reality the President doesn't participate in childish things.

He is the leader of the Republican Party.

I'm pretty sure the "simpleton druggie Rush", feels sooo important at all the media coverage his rants are recieving !
Why is he so popular with the so called "Right", when they claim to be such good christians ?? Is he their poster boy of goodness ??

No wonder the GOP is in trouble .

Its like the Rope A Dope, and Rush is the Dope. He takes it and he is it. Its like they are just swarming his cuddly fat body. Poor guy, they are useing his streanth against him. He has resurted to blaming others for his short falls.

That's what it comes down to, realistically. People employing broad-based anti-Republican rhetoric are the dancing puppets for political "strategists" like Carville. Rove attained much-deserved disdain, so it's interesting to watch people embrace his Democrat counterpart.

who in the world cares what that rediculous bald guy thinks or says. He is beyond ugly and is a complete fool.

What happen to this country? People saying they hope the govemrnt fails, people saying if we used torture no big deal. Is this the sort of things we whent to war ? is this what we whant to teach the rest of the world? do you really think anybody has respect for us anymore?

Maybe the mainstream media should be forced to give the whole story for once. Yes, Rush stated that he wanted Obama's policies to faile, but they should have to play the rest of the comment that stated if Obama was going to turn this into a Socialist country, then he wanted him to fail. I have to fully agree with Rush on that point. This country was founded on capitalism and the route Obama is trying to take things will kill what we stand for.

ANOTHER IDIOT WHO DID NOT READ WHAT RUSH SAID...

Good for Carville! He's not afraid of Rushbo like the wimpy repubs.

He's right, Rush stated he wanted Obama to fail.

Dems are doing the right game plan. Keep Rush in the spot light and Rush is loving it too. The Modern and Inpendence don't like Rush, the more he keeps talking the more the ratings drop for the Republicans. Obama and he's office are smart. Why aren't we hearing more from the Republican Senators? They scare of Rush.

Carville..C C C Clinton...CCCCarville. CCCChange???? CCCmon'

Limbaugh is right on many issues and Poliitco may have hit the nail on the head.

old news.. time to move on and back to the job of fixing American and watching our Great President.

Time to buy stocks and spend dollars.. time to take advantage of stocks down

Thank you .. wall street..

now we are in control

Carville – the same partisan hack hired by Bill Clinton to fend off critics calling for impeachment.

Gosh, glad to see there is HOPE and CHANGE with Obama's administration!!!

Who else is to blame?

Limbaugh has been spouting his mouth (for money, I might add), for years. His tone, which his followers appear to love wholeheartedly, is anything but tempered, judicious, and prudent. I don't blame any politician for defending themselves, including Steele (though his name appears to not reflect his disposition in disagreements!).

One thing about Limbaugh (and every other talk show host for that matter) is that he speaks for money. Isn't he gonna tell people what they want to here, in the most colorful way possible? What is the difference between Limbaugh and a "gangster" rapper? They have about the same education, though Limbaugh trades prescription meds for the 8-ball.

I agree with Carville. Limbaugh started the whole thing when he said he wanted the President to fail. And he hasn't gone back on his word. Neither did his other Republican fellows. You don't start a fight and blame somone else for it. That's childish. A man should do what a man should do and that's take responsibility for his own actions.

James Carville is the best thing to come out of Louisiana since gumbo! Get 'em James!
