Rush Limbaugh passes out his marching orders to the GOP: He wants Obama to fail

By John Amato
from CrooksandLiars (with video)

Rush Limbaugh is not mincing words and showing the real face of Conservative ideals as he announces that he wants Barack Obama to fail. He is the worldwide voice of Conservatism, so the Republican party has just gotten its marching orders. I dare any Republican to defy him.

What this means, of course, is that he hopes the economy crashes into a full-blown depression. His multimillion-dollar salary is safe, obviously, so to hell with the nation and its economy if the cost of saving the country is being guided by a Democratic President.
Limbaugh: I'm happy to be the last man standing. I'm honored to be the last man standing. Yeah, I'm the true maverick. I can do more than four words. I could say I hope he fails and I could do a brief explanation of why. You know, I want to win. If my party doesn't, I do. If my party has sacrificed the whole concept of victory, sorry, I'm now the Republican in name only, and they are the sellouts.
I'm serious about this. Why in the world, it's what Ann Coulter was talking about, the tyranny of the majority, all these victims here, we gotta make sure the victims are finally assuaged. Well, the dirty little secret is this isn't going to assuage anybody's victim status, and the race industry isn't going to go away, and the fact that America's original sin of slavery is going to be absolved, it's not going to happen. Just isn't, folks. It's too big a business for the left to keep all those things alive that divide the people of this country into groups that are against each other. Yes, I'm fired up about this.
There isn't a bigger pig on the air than Limbaugh, and this clip proves the point. He's using race as the wedge (as usual) to try and stir up his base.

Once again, Limbaugh's words get taken out of context. Funny how Mr Amato left out these important words prior to his quote of LImbaugh:

Were the liberals out there hoping Bush succeeded or were they out there trying to destroy him before he was even inaugurated? Why do we have to play the game by their rules? Why do we have to accept the premise here that because of the historical nature of his presidency, that we want him to succeed? This is affirmative action, if we do that. We want to promote failure, we want to promote incompetence, we want to stand by and not object to what he's doing simply because of the color of his skin? Sorry. I got past the historical nature of this months ago. He is the president of the United States, he's my president, he's a human being, and his ideas and policies are what count for me, not his skin color, not his past, not whatever ties he doesn't have to being down with the struggle, all of that's irrelevant to me. We're talking about my country, the United States of America, my nieces, my nephews, your kids, your grandkids. Why in the world do we want to saddle them with more liberalism and socialism? Why would I want to do that? So I can answer it, four words, "I hope he fails." And that would be the most outrageous thing anybody in this climate could say. Shows you just how far gone we are. Well, I know, I know. I am the last man standing.

Amato is the racist, not Limbaugh. Conservatives like LImbaugh only care about the ideas of the man - the content of their character, not the what coat of armor the man wears - the color of his skin. To presume otherwise is to 1) not understand Dr King's famous speech, and 2) not understand conservative thought.

If Obama does pursue a socialist agenda in office, things will only get worse under his presidency - not better. Why do you think the Great Depression last so long? Because of government meddling for so long that kept unemployment above 15% even as late as 1940! FDR's policies weren't working, but prolonging the Great Depresssion. We are again at the same crossroads in history and if we aren't going to learn the lessons of the Great Depression, then, yeah, I too, want Obama's policies to fail so that there is something left at the end that we can use to turn things around.

I am willing to give Obama a chance, but I am not willing to stand on the sidelines and not be critical of the man when I think he is implementing bad policy. No one who attains the office of President is immune to criticism. No one.
