Rush Limbaugh on Osama bin Laden's death: 'Thank God for President Obama'



This is great...

"You see the military wanted to go in there and bomb. They always do. They wanted to go in there and drop missiles and launch bombs. A number of totally destructive techniques here. But President Obama, perhaps the only qualified member in the room to deal with this, insisted on the Special Forces. No one else thought of that. President Obama. Not a single intelligence adviser, not a single national security adviser, not a single military adviser came up with the idea of using SEAL Team 6 or any Special Forces," Limbaugh said, with what some are saying is a slight tinge of sarcasm in his delivery.

  1. "Longtime Limbaugh watchers won't be surprised by his ingenious if cowardly solution. This is a man who often makes self-contradictory remarks that would evoke cognitive dissonance if uttered by a less talented broadcaster....Over the years, he's gotten around this problem by putting ever more weight on his intellectual crutch of choice: deliberately ambiguous monologues that cannot be pinned down."

    and....

    "This failure to articulate and defend a single coherent position is the tactic of an intellectual coward, one who has abandoned any pretense of adding to the discourse, and satisfies himself by being an especially adept manipulator. In a man as smart as Limbaugh, it is a perilous course, for it can only end in self-loathing."

  2. Listen to him all the time. He's funny. Reminds me of the guys I knew in college. Most of those guys, like Limbaugh, didn't graduate. I don't think Air America isn't in business anymore. Like I've said many times liberals are crappy at talk radio, which is actually compliment. Besides who would want to get up every morning and be Rush Limbaugh? That ain't worth being rich or having a Trophy Wife.

  3. "Bitch please, stop hating."

    The main haters I see on this site are the conservatives or libertarians or whatever they want to call themselves. They're the name callers and the macho swaggering types. I do think hating people you merely disagree with about politics isn't very bright.
