Proof Bushevik Rush Limbaugh Hates America: Election Tampering.

[Swamp Rat]

No matter what excuses he provides for his official call to republicans to tamper with the electoral process, no matter what his friends and fans say to defend him, Rush Limbaugh is an America-Hater.



From now on, the Bushevik named Rush Limbaugh must wear the scarlet letters 'AH', as he is officially an America-Hater.

Incontrovertible proof below:


(snip)

INGRAHAM: Rush, I understand that the Rush Limbaugh audience is mobilizing in Texas for Hillary. Am I hearing that right?

RUSH LIMBAUGH, RADIO TALK SHOW HOST: I don't know if the audience is mobilizing or not. I am urging people — I am using a phrase — the Republicans — our nominee is chosen. It's John McCain.

Texas is open. And I want Hillary to stay in this, Laura. This is too good a soap opera. We need Barack Obama bloodied up politically, and it's obvious that the Republicans are not going to do it and don't have the stomach for it.

As you probably know, we're getting all kinds of memos from the RNC saying not to be critical there. Mark MacKinnon of McCain's campaign says he'll quit if they get critical over Obama.

This is the presidency of the United States you're talking about. I want our party to win. I want the Democrats to lose. They're in the midst of tearing themselves apart right now. It is fascinating to watch, and it's all going to stop if Hillary loses.

So yes, I'm asking to cross over and, if they can stomach it — I know it's a difficult thing to do to vote for a Clinton — but it will sustain this soap opera, and it's something I think we need. It would be fun, too.

1. rush and laura 'i'm a lot better looking than ann coulter' ingraham...

the oxy-head and the head cheerleader for the war in iraq...


what a f***ing pair...


it is scary to see how much suck as they have with their followers...till you figure the smaller their choir, the louder they have to preach to it...

[Swamp Rat]

2. Yes, all three of them hate America, as they do not believe in fair and honest elections.

Traitors to America.

[blogslut]

3. Well, nobody ever said Limbaugh was smart

And if they did, they probably are about as bright as Rush.

Yes, a few idiots will cross over to vote for a candidate in another party. My brother (the idiot with a PH.D) is voting in the Republican primary but will vote Democratic in the GE. I told him he was an idiot. He said he doesn't care. He thinks what he's doing is funny and oh, so clever. Idiot.

[Swamp Rat]

4. It is not funny at all. It is un-American.

I would never do this to the republicans and their party, even though I loath them.

It is, quite simply, un-American to try to thwart the electoral process, no matter how it is done, legal or not. It demonstrates a fundamental lack of belief in America.

Maybe you can try to discuss this further with your brother, giving him a lesson on the American system of government, and why it is unethical to tamper with it?

[blogslut]

11. I called him an idiot to his face

It's the best I can do.

However, I would just like to stress that this cross-over Texas thing is mostly BS. The people doing it do not give a damn about the process. If they did, they would vote in their party's primary. My brother is completely convinced that no matter what, Texas will vote Republican. He thinks Democratic votes in Texas are a waste of time. Of course, he said that a month ago before we had this tsunami of Democratic voters show up to the polls. I may call him just tell him he's an idiot...again. :)

But let me stress a very important point about Texas Republicans and this crossover jazz:

When a Republican goes to vote in the Texas primary, the poll worker asks: "What party?"

In a public place, in front of people they know, does anyone honestly believe that proud Texas Republicans are going to boldly proclaim "Democrat"?

What's worse, once the Republican declares his (supposedly false) party affiliation, the poll worker whips out a rubber stamp. The poll worker takes the Republican's voter registration card and marks it in red ink: DEMOCRAT.

So, when that faking Repub goes to vote in November, they have to whip out their voter ID card that now reads DEMOCRAT.

Limbaugh and Ingraham and all the rest of the fools can say whatever they want. It won't matter. People that care about their vote aren't going to cross over. The people who don't care are of such minimal numbers, they would make a freeper convention look practically busy.

[Swamp Rat]

14. LOL! Good for you!

I suppose he had it comin' to him. :D

FYI, I have family in West Texas and New Mexico who are just as idiotic and intractable. :hug:

[CaliforniaDemocrat]

5. Funny, what about the Repubs voting for Obama to "finish her off"..nobody spoke up then

[Swamp Rat]

7. There are other 'Clinton vs. Obama' threads where you can ask this question.

This thread is about Rush Limbaugh tampering with the voting electoral process.

[TexasObserver]

6. When the GOP scum of the earth want Hillary, you know she's easy to beat.

Hillary is the best friend the GOP has had for years. Only Hillary can heal the GOP while ruining the Democratic party.

[Swamp Rat]

8. How do you feel about Rush Limbaugh tampering with the electoral process?

[TexasObserver]

9. I'm worried about Hillary and her supporters tampering with it.

Rush has much less impact on voter suppression than Hillary's campaign does.

[Swamp Rat]

10. Then you should ask them in a 'Hillary supporters' thread. n/t

[TexasObserver]

12. Nah, I'll post my comments and you post yours.

You asked a question and I answered it.

You have no proprietary rights over a thread you start.

Thank me for bumping your thread, and keep your notions this is YOUR thread to yourself.

[Swamp Rat]

13. "You have no proprietary rights over a thread you start."

Who said I did?

"and keep your notions this is YOUR thread to yourself."

Ok. :rofl:

[nolabels]

19. Actually i think its Skinner's thread

I would also be willing to vote on who's thread it is if want to start a thread on that also :rofl:

[anamnua]

15. This is a smooth machiavellian feint

by R.L.. He hates Hillary and wants her to lose. He also realises that he is hated by the broad mass of Dems. The solution?. Good old-fashioned reverse psychology.

[Swamp Rat]

17. Smooth like the diarrhea that spews from his gaping maw everyday.

Rash Limpballs spent decades hating the Clintons. He built his EIB Empire hating the Clintons.

Seems like a bad business decision on his part to destroy his own Clinton-hating franchise.

He has no love for the "halfrican, magic negro" either.

I think he's one script away from an Oxycontin-induced lobotomy.

[CyberPieHole]

16. Fake OUTRAGE...Where were YOU when the tampering was in favor of Obama?

:eyes:

[Swamp Rat]

18. Huh? What are you talking about?

¿Nos conocemos?

:shrug:

[CyberPieHole]

21. No. Yo no te conozco.

And I'm not talking. I'm writing.

[Swamp Rat]

24. Ok, what were you trying to "write?"

I did not understand your comment regarding "fake outrage" nor the question about "where were you." Were those comments directed at me?

[backscatter712]

20. One bright thing that comes of this.

I know Limbaugh is doing this just to stir the shit and encourage Democratic infighting.

But still when the words "I want Hillary Clinton to stay in this" passed his lips, I'll bet a piece of his twisted black soul died.

Just one of life's little tidbits of schadenfreude. :evilgrin:

[Swamp Rat]

22. "Limbaugh is doing this just to stir the shit and encourage Democratic infighting."

Yes he is, and some are obliging him.

Seems rather counterproductive.

Thought I'd point that out, though it appears I may not be heard above the din. x(

[opihimoimoi]

23. Swampy...you iz DA MAN... Rash is an Asshole 2

:toast:

[Swamp Rat]

26. me ready for big lu'au now...

happy friend show up with big happy thoughts ... blue water, mahi, kalua pig for roast and for Pua'a.

:toast:

[Thepricebreaker]

25. How is voteing legally tampering?? Let them vote.. who cares.

Im an Obama supporter and it doesn't matter who votes for who.. its not tampering unless its something illegal.

You wanna yell at someone, yell at the states that have open primaries.

[Swamp Rat]

27. I care, which is why I started this thread.

And you at least cared enough to post a comment. There's our common ground.

"its not tampering unless its something illegal."

Where we differ is our understanding of the word 'tampering':

tam·per (t?m'p?r)

v. tam·pered, tam·per·ing, tam·pers

v. intr.
To interfere in a harmful manner: tried to tamper with the decedent's will; tampering with the timing mechanism of the safe.
To tinker with rashly or foolishly: Don't tamper with my feelings.
To engage in improper or secret dealings, as in an effort to influence: tamper with a jury. See Synonyms at interfere.

v. tr.
To alter improperly.

tampering

noun
the act of altering something secretly or improperly

:rofl:

"The only issue Republicans who voted in the Democratic Primary face now, is they will not be able to vote in the runoff election for several highly sought after local seats. A factor they may not have been aware of."

“Rush isn’t always right,” she said. “I have to say it: shame on them. I certainly would not want Democrats coming over to decide who our nominee is.”

First, it’s not the right thing to do, Koehne said. Secondly, you’re affiliated with your party, and endorsing its platform, and the Democrat platform is much different from the Republican one. Third, you can lose your invitation to party sponsored events, as one young man who had voted early — on the Democrat side — learned Tuesday evening when he went to his Republican precinct meeting and was told he could not participate.

(snip)

“He was a young man with a real enthusiasm about participating in the process, and he had all kinds of aspirations,” Koehne said. “We had to ask him to leave.”

He and others like him will have to wait two years or will have to come back and seek to be restored to the party’s good graces.

“He’ll have to rejoin,” she said. “But this year’s county and state conventions, they’re not going to happen for him.”

[Swamp Rat]

37. Welcome to DU!

:hi:

[stahbrett]

38. Uh, wasn't the same thing basically tried in Michigan - to get Democrats to vote for Romney?

The rationale was similar... keep McCain from clinching the nomination too soon.

[Swamp Rat]

39. Uh, where's the evidence? ... Link?

I didn't hear that broadcasted over Clear Channel, or on Fux Noise for the last few weeks like I did the repuke election tampering tactic... let alone on Air America or Nova M.

[stahbrett]

40. Sorry you missed it... I read all about it here and elsewhere

http://www.dailykos.com/storyonly/2008/1/10/2713/87225/55/434206

[Swamp Rat]

41. I missed it because it did not happen.

"With a history of meddling in our primaries, why don't we try and return the favor." - One person on a blog making a suggestion does not equal what the GOPers have been doing for decades, and are doing right now on thousands of radio and TV affiliates.

"if you've got friends in Michigan, send this e-mail along to them." - Did millions of Democrats get this email, and did they act upon it? Did Air America, Nova M, Clear Channel, ABC CBS NBC MSNBC CNN FOX, et al broadcast this memo/email? No they did not.

[stahbrett]

42. So the intent was similar - it just wasn't as widely publicized. That makes it completely different

[Swamp Rat]

43. Since your rhetoric is so unclear, I am not sure which fallacy was committed.

I will go with Reductio Ad Absurdum for the moment. :D
