Obama says Beck, Limbaugh fuel 'troublesome' political climate

[Immanuel]

Dems complained when Bush was in office and the unemployment was about 5. Don't hear much on that with Obama with the numbers in double digits. I thoughts Dems were all about "fairness".

Now they are saying at nearly 10% nationwide, that without them things would have been worse. Bah! The same might have been said about Bush at the time we were at 5%.

So, let me get this straight.

Limbaugh and Beck can go on the air every day and call Obama a "Socialist", a "Stalinist", a "Racist", a "Nazi", etc, etc...

But God forbid Obama say anything critical about them specifically! Oh, no, can't have that! Limbaugh and Beck are sacrosanct!!!

Of course they're both also nut-job, drug addicts.

And then you call Obama a "whiner"? Wow, the hypocrisy is utterly off the chart.

As for Olbermann, etc, yes, they also suck, but they're not the ones creating the "atmosphere" that he was referring to at the moment.

I don't have to listen to Rush, Sean and Beck. I don't have to and I don't. The only time I hear anything said by either one of them is when you guys bring it up here on site. Besides that, I don't remember the last time I listened to two minutes of either one of their shows. It has been a while.

I pretty much have to listen to what President Obama says.

I hate all talking heads.

That is something you and I share in common.

The President of the United States has every right to state that media sources are creating hostile environments, when they clearly ARE doing just that.

Absolutely he has every right to state that. The problem I have is when he says they have to tone down their rhetoric for the good of the country and in the same breath demonizes more than half of the country. It makes him look hypocritical to say the least.

He's not trying to shut them down, he's speaking his mind on the issue.

I don't recall anyone saying that he was trying to shut them down. However, he is telling them to play nice when he's not willing to play nice.

Are you all saying that he's not allowed to respond to these douchebags?

Nope, not at all. He's allowed to be hypocritical just as we all are. I just don't particularly care for it.

no you didn't start it, but you sure hell joined in with you whining about calling the Obama, (now wait for it folks for this is BAD) a Socialist, a Communist, a Nazi.

stop the friggen world for the Dear Leader was called some names.

Cool, I'll remember that next time you're all whining about someone criticizing your drug-addict, anarchist, draft dodging radio talk show host heroes.

You're right, these people aren't worth the time of the President of the United States...

...Or at least they wouldn't be if there weren't so many fucking morons out there who take their word as gospel.

what's it to you if they do take their word as Gospel?
where is that any skin off your ass?
I'm sure you took Presidents Bush's word as Gospel.
The two faces of a LIBERAL FOLKS.

 

[Claudette]

Don't remember that I ever heard Bush complain about what was said about him via the media. There was certainly more than enough to complain about with the left leaning LSM in this country.

The mainstream media was not calling Bush a "Nazi" and a "Stalinist".

That is not criticism, that is bullshit partisan crap. And it's being broadcast on all the major right-wing stations.

And Bush didn't need to respond to the left-wing crap, he had the media arm of the Republican party to do it for him (AKA Murdoch's media empire).

This POTUS makes a point of pointing out those that don' t agree with him. He tries to marginalize anyone that disagrees with his agenda. Apparantly if you don't agree with Barry and his left wing agenda you are a whinner and you definetly don't know whats good for you. After all. He and Congress know whats best doncha know??

Would be funny if it weren't pathetic. Guys a loser in capital letters.

Wow, here you are assigning the primary tactics of the right-wing talking heads to the President. Amazing.

Wow. What a load of bs there LW.

As for Murdochs media empire. Well he has Fox. Thats one.

The left has ABC, NBC, CBS and all the affiliates. Those bastions of the left wing. Didn't hear much in defence of Bush when he was being called a baby killer. Murder, natzi. Nope. nary a peep from any of the LSM. Ah. but let someone produce a sign or remark on Barry Boy and its all over the media. Oh yeah.

Hmmm and your worried about one station, Fox?? Thats rich.

As for Barrys tactics. Well he learned em fair and square in Chicago bucko. He hasn't changed em and he won't . If you don't agree with him and his ridiculous agenda your a whinner and an enemy. Chicago all the way.

He doesn't need the GOP to do anything. If he can get those idiot Dems to go along there is no telling where this yahoo will take this country.

Wherever it is it will cost we the taxpayer big time. The more I see of Barry the more I believe if he isn't a socialist, he's damned close to one. He will have no problem sharing the taxpayers wealth any way he can.

Buckle up. The ride ain't done yet my friend.

But Mr Obama's free ride will be over next January. And he will be back in Chicago on a permanent basis in January 2013.

A president with any class at all would ignore Beck and Limbaugh.

Is he too fucking stupid to realize that he is Limbaugh's and Becks best advertising?

Anyone with class would ignore Beck, Limbaugh and the Tea Bastards.

Yeah and don't forget to add the libby wackos like that Ed guy

My exposing LimpTard's hypocrisy is only good "advertising" to equally dishonest CON$.
The more their MessiahRushie lies, the more DittoTards worship him.

December 11, 2007
RUSH: By the way, I want to renew a bet. I will bet my life's fortune against Algore's that what he predicts in 2030 will not happen...
I made this offer six months ago, and I'll make it again in future days

Caller Proposes Recession Bet
December 20, 2007
RUSH: I wouldn't enter into a wager ... publicly because I choose not too violate federal gambling laws.

How many laws does the "Corporate-Owned media" enact?

Umm ATT and Verizon seemd to get themselves "pardoned" for their illegal wiretap and records activities.

Just one small example.
The coprorations get others to do their work for them.

You didn't answer my question. Let me ask it again, and I'll type slow. How many laws does the "Corporate-Owned media" enact? Since you claim they possess more power than the government it should be an easy question to answer. Also answer this, how much taxes does the the "Corporate-Owned media" require the US citizens to pay?

Now wait just a minute there Slick! You can't have it both ways.

You CON$ervaTards have been saying the MEDIA was powerful enough to bring down the all-powerful, "strongest economy that the United States ever had" Bush economy so the Dems could win the 2008 election, which they did, and now suddenly this same more powerful than the Bush government media is completely impotent.

In fact, Stuttering LimpTard said the media and the Dems TALKED us into a recession before the 2006 election to get the Dems elected even though your MessiahRushie also claims the recession didn't start until 2008!!!

Obviously America-hating LimpTard believes his TALK will be powerful enough to prolong the Bush depression and blame the effects of his TALK on Obama.

April 5, 2010
RUSH: * Between 2000 and 2006 we had the strongest economy that the United States ever had.*

April 2, 2010
RUSH: The media tried to get you believing there was a recession for the last two years of the Bush administration.* They lie to this day telling you the recession began in 2007.* It didn't.* It started in 2008.*

April 5, 2010
RUSH:* I was just going to get there, I was just going to get there because the Democrat National Committee and the media, the whole Democrat Party turned the economy in order to run in 2006 and win Congress back.* They have been talking up a recession for who knows how long.*

I don't think he said anything that isn't true!!! He has to set the record straight. The right has not been telling the truth about what will happen when the bill passed. They have made it sound like the end of the world. You cannot expect Obama to be silent. And he most certainly did not demonize anybody.

Obama mentioned that John Boehner said it would be another Armaggeden. When the crowd booed him, Obama said that it wasn't necessary to do that. All he did was repeat what some of the GOP said. He did not demonize them one bit.

Let's be fair. Was he just supposed to ignore all of the ridiculous things being said and just let people think they were true?? That's very unreasonable.

You were right at the beginning. You don't think.

And to answer your question. No he wasnt supposed to ignore the people. But he did and he signed that unconstitutional bill anyway.

Rightwing still shovelling the crap and lies that didn't work before.

The bill is Constitutional and the rightwing politically motivated suits will all disappear.

The majority of Americans supported healthcare reform. The Republicans just added those who opposed the bill because it did not do enough as supporting their opposition.

The Bill is now LAW....the GOP does not have the gonads to run on taking it away from Americans. Granny is still alive and there are no deathpanels or government takeover

I predicted some idiot like you would tout the " see, granny isn't dead yet " line only DAYS after the bill was signed. Hack on, lamer ......

 

[driveby]

He is by his OWN words a GOP toady! If he was a Movement CON$ervative, as he tries to pass himself off as, he would have been happy that the CON$ervative movement made inroads into the Democratic Party, as the caller said. But he said that the CON$ervative movement's gains in the Democratic Party made him unhappy and FRUSTRATED, hardly the FEELINGS of a true Movement CONSERVATIVE!!!

And this is what is so obvious about the brainwashed DittoTards, even when LimpTard admits he's a Republican hack rather than a Movement CON$ervative they STILL believe him when he lies about being a Movement CON$ervative rather than a GOP partisan.

Jan 29, 2008
RUSH: I am a 'movement conservative', not a Republican partisan.

lol, you really do have a hardon for Rush, don't you, a lowly Radio Talk show host.

Yeah it is amazing that Rush was able to work his way into raidio at all since his dad owned the station.

Has his dad controlled the ratings for the last 20 years also? .......

A president with any class at all would ignore Beck and Limbaugh.

Him and the rest of the leftnuts. They're ALL his best advertising. Look how many threads on just those two alone are on just this board?

Limbaugh the fat drug addict and especially Beck the lying crybaby have become more prominent because of Obama, especially Beck. Negative attention is dysfunctional.

Whether you like Limbaugh or not, all kooks like you ever have to say about him is " fat drug addict, blah blah blah". I never see any of you moonbat morons take him to task on his positions.......

 

[driveby]

Wonder what your thoughts were when the left was crucifying Bush??

Kinda doubt you had a problem with that.

Were the lefties a threat to national security back then?? Oh wait. They were progressives. Thats okay. LOL. What a bunch of bs pal.

I regularly state that I think Olbermann, Maddow, etc, etc are a bunch of partisan hacks.

I hate all talking heads.

The President of the United States has every right to state that media sources are creating hostile environments, when they clearly ARE doing just that.

He's not trying to shut them down, he's speaking his mind on the issue.

Are you all saying that he's not allowed to respond to these douchebags?

Well, you know what, that's too damn bad. They're talking all kinds of bullshit, and they hold massive amounts of influence.

When the same type of yellow journalism happened around the turn of the 20th Century, a president ended up assassinated, thanks to William Randolph Hearst.

The conditions are about the same now as they were then. Media drumming up extremist, anarchist sentiment, etc, etc.

Don't remember that I ever heard Bush complain about what was said about him via the media. There was certainly more than enough to complain about with the left leaning LSM in this country.

This POTUS makes a point of pointing out those that don' t agree with him. He tries to marginalize anyone that disagrees with his agenda.

You forgot racist and extremist ......

How BLIND can you pretend to be????

I have made you DittoTards eat your MessiahRushie's words throughout this thread alone, and so often on this extreme Right Wing messageboard over the years that most of the CON$ who post here now deny ever listening to him and only make Alinsky like personal attacks on me to defend Stuttering LimpTard.

Another example of the first quote in my sig.

If I actually took any quotes "out of context" you would have posted an example.
Not only do I never take anything out of context, I never change any of Limptard's words to create a context like your Messiahrushie does, and then denies doing while whining that it is done to him. He does it so often he has a rationalization for when he changes the words he "quotes." But don't you dare apply the Golden Rule to him!

And as usual, I post an example:

October 3, 2007
RUSH: We've reached a new day, when interpreters are allowed to determine the meaning of words spoken by others. What happens with that is the loss of meaning.

August 22, 2008
RUSH: * The Messiah is a humorous term and used in this context because that's what he's trying to portray himself as: The Anointed One. "I'm the one you've been waiting for," is what he means when he says, "We're the ones we've been waiting for." I'm the one you've been looking for.

October 5, 2007
CALLER: Have you ever taken anybody out of context before, any liberals?

RUSH: Not on purpose, never, ever, do I do things like that. I'll tell you why, Bob. The reason why is because I'm trying to generate informed, educated people. I want them to be voting and spreading the word on the basis of truth and legitimacy, so there's a proper foundation for it to spread. I am not afraid of the opposition and what they think. I'm happy for everybody to know what the opposition thinks. I try to explain liberalism as best I can, as often as I can on this program. But I don't purposely take people out of context, no, don't do any of that.

August 7, 2009
PRESIDENT OBAMA:* Just to take a sort of realist perspective is that there's a lot of change goin' on outside of the court that, you know, the -- the judges have to essentially take judicial notice of.* I mean, you've got World War II, you've got, uh, the doctrines of Nazism that -- that we are fighting against that start looking uncomfortably similar to what's going on back here at home. *

RUSH:* Well, I think I just heard Barack Obama in 2001 refer to "the doctrines of Nazism that were fighting here in our court system."*

I guess the office of the President is so unimportant to Obama and his ego is so big, he can't resist. It really makes the Prez look foolish and desperate to spar with talk show hosts. So by your definition, Obama is arguing with "nut jobs and drug addicts". That's the way to run the country. Putting that razor sharp focus on talk show hosts. It looks they have some impact after all.
