From the July 11 edition of The Rush Limbaugh Show:

LIMBAUGH: And you've got now another memo from Stan Greenberg and James Carville and Bob Shrum suggesting that liberals are in trouble, the Democrats are in trouble, and Obama Osama Obama was in Florida over the weekend stumping for Bill Nelson , and he said Democrats have got trouble. What did he say here? He said, "Democrats, at times, have lost their way. We're trying to decide what our core values are."

And how long have these Democrats been having meetings to try to figure out what to do and who they are? It's just amazing. Now, if you're wondering why I'm calling him "Obama Osama," Ted Kennedy was at the National Press Club and made a speech and in the question-and-answer session, he got a question about Obama and actually called him, "Osama Obama," what did he call him? "Obama bin Laden" or something. He did correct himself, but it caused us -- we had no choice, folks, we had to do a parody tune out of this.

<...>

Speaking of Ben Nelson, I still have this story of Osama Obama on the front of the stack and it moved to the back. Obama Osama came down from his perch in Illinois to stump for Sen. Nelson here in Florida -- when was it? I guess it was yesterday. I can't believe they didn't cancel it. This is the Orlando Sentinel. Hurricanes are going through, and they still did the fund-raiser. Doesn't surprise me.

But nevertheless, Obama said the Democrats have at times have lost their way, we're trying to decide what our core values are, of course, and it was for the benefit of Ben Nelson.

...don't respond to them, it just "imbiggins" them...

[electricray]

16. You are correct. That is a perfecty promulent statement.

Although my strict father alter-ego (ref. Lakoff) is secretly hoping Rush-boy is crying himself to sleep over my retort. A man can dream can't he?

I haven't had his nasty shit on my radio for several years! I sure don't ever intend to ever have it on in the future either!

18. I never listen to Rush

Hence my reference to "pig boy".

9. In case Rush hasn't heard, Nelson is beating Harris by 17 points...

Obama was probably there to raise money for the party in Nelson's name.

[Miss Chybil]

15. Oh, Rush. Take a pill and shut up. nt

[KingFlorez]

19. He's retarded

That's the common practice at FreeRepublic to call Senator Obama that. That's his own right-wing Nazi garbage and he's so desperate he making up things.
