Yesterday the Obama Emperor’s administration had a major #failure in their feeble and unconstitutional move to exempt Fox News from interviewing “pay czar” Kenneth Feinberg.
They unsuccessfully tried to make Feinberg available for interviews to every member of the White House pool except, you guessed it, Fox News. I guess that mojo thing isn’t working.
No harm in admitting the lie now that his NFL bid’s dead. First, via the Standard, comes this belated HuffPo postscript to a post that’s three years old:
Editor’s Note: An earlier version of this post contained quotes attributed to Rush Limbaugh, which Limbaugh has since denied making. As is our policy when a fact in a blog post is called into question, we gave its author 24 hours to substantiate the quote. Since he has not been able to do so, the quotes have been deleted from the post.
The tragic shooting at the Holocaust Museum on Wednesday by 88 year-old white supremacist James Von Brunn, has captured media attention all over the globe. As always, you can count on both the leftwing kooks at MSNBC as well as the leftard bloggers to tie this person to the Republican party.
The always rabid folks over at Huffington Post blogged this entry at yesterday at 6:00 PM.
Among the myriad of disturbing qualities of James Von Brunn, the 88-year-old man who shot and killed a security officer inside the Holocaust Museum on Wednesday, is his apparent belief that Barack Obama is not a citizen of the United States and therefore has no right to the presidency.

Indeed a “birther” mindset is more a symptom of extremism than a cause.
That said, the extent to which the birther ethos has been driven into the political narrative by legitimate figures, and subsequently picked up by extremist elements, is noteworthy. In an obvious reference to questions about Obama’s birthplace, Rep. Bill Posey, R-FL, has introduced a bill in the House requiring presidential candidates to file a copy of their birth certificates. Rep. Bob Goodlatte, R-V.A, has joined him as a co-sponsor of that measure.
Observe how the Obama media machine and soulless liberal media jumped on Rush Limbaugh’s comments that he “wanted Obama to fail.”
Anyone with a half a brain knows Rush wants only this: for America to succeed and for anti-American policies to fail.
To leave no doubt where I, your humble Motor City guitarslinger, stands, let me report without ambiguity, that I get down on bended knee daily and pray to God that he does what he can to ensure President Obama fails.

To those of you who voted for President Obama, how is this hope and change working out for you?
So now the great one and his chief of staff Rahm Emanuel have turned from trying to fix the economy to picking a schoolyard rumble with Rush Limbaugh. How mature is that? Emanuel calls Limbaugh “an intellectual force” and voice of GOP. I don’t see anything “intellectual” coming from their side of the aisle. How about turning your focus away from Rush and towards fixing things? I cannot recall a single like event anytime during the eight years G.W. Bush held office.
Since November 4th, when the Obamassiah was elected, the Dow has tumbled over 25%. As Obama and company continue their march towards socialism, Wall Street continues to respond with a big “no confidence vote”. When you consider the bulk of Obama’s porkulus screwing of the U.S. economy is going towards social programs, its no wonder. On top of that, this so-called “stimulus bill” contains 9,000 earmarks.
Obama is raping the system that has worked for decades in this county. It’s called capitalism. Instead of rewarding America’s job creators, he wants to punish them. Instead of incentivizing those disinclined to work, he’s giving them a reason to sit this one out on their collective asses. Someone else will pay the bills for them, why should they worry?
His foreign policy is fast becoming one of holding hands with those that embrace communism, fascism and dictatorial rule. He’s sent olive branches to Iran and Moscow, and is now going to send $900 million dollars of your money to Palestine.
He’s also turned his eye on socializing the U.S. healthcare system. As a direct result, healthcare stocks are the newest victim of Obama’s economic tailspin, and are shedding value with each passing day.
Today Obama is sending his Treasury secretary and budget director to Capitol Hill to defend his plan to start taxing industries on greenhouse-gas emissions, also known as cap and trade. If he succeeds, your electric bill will purportedly increase anywhere from 15% – 40%, gasoline prices up anywhere from 9% -145%, and natural gas prices from 12% -50%, all within the next 6 years.
Obama’s supporters, always wrapped up in class resentment, can’t see the forest through the trees. The love the über-partisan environment on capital hill, and walk blindly following “The One” down the path of failure.
He’s not going to change, and Limbaugh doesn’t need to hope he’ll fail, he’s well on his way.
Senior FCC staff working for acting Federal Communications Commissioner Michael Copps held meetings last week with policy and legislative advisers to House Energy and Commerce Committee Chairman Henry Waxman to discuss ways the committee can create openings for the FCC to put in place a form of the “Fairness Doctrine” without actually calling it such.
How atypical of the left. Let’s create something just like the Fairness Doctrine and give it a new name. Maybe that’s because according to a Rasmussen Poll, only “38% of U.S. voters think that the government [fascists] should require all radio stations to offer equal amounts of conservative and liberal political commentary.”
Waxman is also interested, say sources, in looking at how the Internet is being used for content and free speech purposes. “It’s all about diversity in media,” says a House Energy staffer, familiar with the meetings. “Does one radio station or one station group control four of the five most powerful outlets in one community? Do four stations in one region carry Rush Limbaugh, and nothing else during the same time slot? Does one heavily trafficked Internet site present one side of an issue and not link to sites that present alternative views? These are some of the questions the chairman is thinking about right now, and we are going to have an FCC that will finally have the people in place to answer them.”…
I’d like to see them try. Do these political hacks think they can control everything? How is it that only the liberal politicians are asking these questions? It’s simple, they merely want to quash Limbaugh, Hannity, O’Reilly, et al.
“This isn’t just about Limbaugh or a local radio host most of us haven’t heard about,” says Democrat committee member. “The FCC and state and local governments also have oversight over the Internet lines and the cable and telecom companies that operate them. We want to get alternative views on radio and TV, but we also want to makes sure those alternative views are read, heard and seen online, which is becoming increasingly video and audio driven. Thanks to the stimulus package, we’ve established that broadband networks — the Internet — are critical, national infrastructure. We think that gives us an opening to look at what runs over that critical infrastructure. More [here]
I cannot believe that these people are so fucking stupid.
One-party rule, baby. Suppress the opposition. That’s what it’s all about.
Unless it’s one of their own that’s bitching and whining, like the Obamassiah.
“”You can’t just listen to Rush Limbaugh and get things done,” he [Obama} told top GOP leaders, whom he had invited to the White House to discuss his nearly $1 trillion stimulus package”

Democrats Launch Petition Against Rush Limbaugh After Firing Back at Obama
Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee launches an online petition to express outrage at Rush Limbaugh after he said he wanted President Obama to fail.
Outraged I tell, they’re outraged!
The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee has launched an online petition to express outrage at conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh for saying he wanted President Obama to “fail.”
“Jobs, health care, our place in the world — the stakes for our nation are high and every American needs President Obama to succeed,” the petition reads. “Stand strong against Rush Limbaugh’s Attacks — sign our petition, telling Rush what you think of his attacks on President Obama.”
How about they just get back to worrying about the ills of this country?
Angry black man and pro slavery reparationist Leonard Pitts is pissed-off because of a statement Rush Limbaugh made while being interviewed by Sean Hannity last week. The only part of the interview Pittstain quotes is this, “I hope he fails.”
To put it all in context, here are the excerpts from the Hannity-Limbaugh interview:
HANNITY: So we have a new president now. Abraham Lincoln or FDR or Barack Obama, obviously. First of all, what are your general thoughts about him as a person?
RUSH: I’ll tell you, you know, a lot of people right now just — they’re absorbed in the historical nature of this, first black president and so forth. Well, that is wonderful. That’s great. But I got over that months ago after he won the election.
I mean, Sean, he is our president now. And he’s not black, he’s not from Mars, he’s not — he’s our president, he’s a human being. We’re a country comprised of human beings that the Democrat Party and the left have attempted to arrange into groups of victims, and that’s who he appeals to, and the victims are the people waiting around for some grievance to be resolved.
They’re waiting around for something to happen for them, and he is parlaying that. I think the fact that he’s African-American, his father was black, to me it’s irrelevant. This is the greatest country on earth. We want to keep it that way. It is that way for specific reasons.
[...]
If he does not eliminate the Bush tax cuts, I would call that success. So yes, I would hope he would succeed if he acts like Reagan, but if he’s going to do FDR, if he’s going to do the new, new deal all over which we will call here the raw deal, why would I want him to succeed?
Look, he’s my president. The fact that he is historic is irrelevant to me now. It matters not at all. I — if he is going to implement a far left — look it. I think it’s already decided. $2 trillion in stimulus? The growth of government. I think the intent here is to create as many dependant Americans as possible looking to government for their hope and salvation.
If he gets nationalized health care, I mean, it’s over, Sean. We’re never going to roll that back. That’s the end of America as we have known it because that’s then going to set the stage for everything being government owned, operated, or provided.
Why would I want that to succeed? I don’t believe in that. I know that’s not how this country is going to be great in the future, it’s not what made this country great.
So I shamelessly say, no, I want him to fail, if his agenda is a far- left collectivism, some people say socialism, as a conservative heartfelt, deeply, why would I want socialism to succeed?
Pitts closed with this:
If he is successful, Limbaugh and the other clowns will face tough sledding in a radically different world. Small wonder he is so eager to strangle this presidency in its infancy. And need it even be said?
I hope he fails.
I find it amazing the liberals fear Limbaugh so much.
So now the Obamassiah is going after Rush Limbaugh, give me a break.
WASHINGTON — President Obama warned Republicans on Capitol Hill today that they need to quit listening to radio king Rush Limbaugh if they want to get along with Democrats and the new administration.
“You can’t just listen to Rush Limbaugh and get things done,” he told top GOP leaders, whom he had invited to the White House to discuss his nearly $1 trillion stimulus package. More [here]
Who the hell does he think he is? Maybe Obama and his staff need to quit agonizing over Rush and Hannity and pay attention to what’s going on in this country.
The “One” has been showing his incompetence all week. Earlier this week he let it be know that you dare not question the Messiah, unless it’s under his terms. Friday he went to the press room in the White House and one of the media dared to ask him a real question. Watch for the unprecedented leg buckling media adoration of Obama to start waning sometime soon.
The Messiah also this week signed a stimulus bill for the international abortion industry. Obama’s executive order reversing the Mexico City policy imposed by George Bush will pump American dollars to international abortion clinics. I’m sure this will make every Catholic who voted for Barack Hussein Obama very proud.
Oh, and from the Smoking Gun, this:
The Audacity Of Dope
JANUARY 23–Add heroin to the scores of products that have been branded with President Barack Obama’s name. Cops in upstate New York this week broke up a drug ring that allegedly sold heroin under several brand names, including “Obama.”
