Medved on McCain: 'Rush Acting Like a Liberal'

Michael Medved has hurled the ultimate insult at Rush Limbaugh -- that he's acting like a liberal. According to Medved, Rush is thinking with his emotions, not his mind, when it comes to his criticism of of John McCain.

McCain supporter Medved appeared on Tucker Carlson's MSNBC show this evening.

Like Rush said, he isn’t going to “carry the water” anymore and I think its funny to hear all this criticism that comes his way now that he isn’t the sunny little cheerleader he’s apparently expected to always be...

Dont bash Romney like that.
He will appoint Scalia/Thomas/Alito/Roberts type justices.
He is prolife and did prolife things as Governor.
He is rock solid behind Bush’s GWOT policies - MORE SO than McCain!!

Part of the reason conservatives are losing is that conservatives themselve fragged the one guy who came to them as a convert and seeking their support.

As a result, RINOs who give us the finger win.

McCain = traitor to the cause
Romney = convert to the cause

Better a convert than a traitor!!

“would we rather vote for a candidate that has some Conservative values in him?”

THAT CANDIDATE WOULD BE ROMNEY
RINO MCCAIN DOESNT FIT - VOTE FOR MITT - Another Conservative for Mitt!

This repulsive pathetic schmuck is simply crying out “Look at me! Notice me!” Who, now or ever cares wht he says about anything?

Yes, I feel the same way about Mike Huckabee.

So would we rather sit home and let a lib become President or would we rather vote for a candidate that has some Conservative values in him?

That's a fair question. I don't really have an answer for it at this time.

The larger question for me is why should I reward John McCain with my vote after he has spent years urinating on the conservative base?

I don't know yet, but I might just vote third party this time around. I'm getting sick and tired of the GOP's excuses, cowardice, incompetence, and stupidity.

I think Medved is a former Democrat. That would explain his liberal leanings.

After Conservatives took over congress for the 1st time in 30+ years with the help of Newt Gingrich and Tom Delay, we saw lots of moderate Democrats switching to the Republican party to enhance their electability.

Now we have lots of liberals in the Republican party, nationwide, that have nothing but contempt for Christian Conservatives and their values.

Reagan was Reagan. He was certainly the greatest president of my lifetime. He also made mistakes. Or maybe you supported amnesty when it was Reagan’s idea?

I don’t think it’s necessary to dismiss and deride fellow Republicans who don’t agree with me exactly. Neither did Reagan. As he said: “Thou shalt not speak ill of a fellow Republican.”

Medved is just trying to ride Rush’s coattails. He got a little bump last year by making a total ass out of himself by making ridicules claims and spreading absolute falsehoods about Jerome R. Corsi and the Trans-Texas Corridor (the first segment of the NAFTA Super Highway).

So it looks like he’s trying to get another bump in readership, and if he’s still on the air anywhere, listeners, by attacking Rush.

The problem he has is keeping readers or listeners. He has no talent and a very poor grasp of any issue, except, maybe, what movies are being seen. Even the task of film critic stretches his intellectual abilities to his Peter Point.

He’s not someone whose opinion intelligent people will ever take seriously. I’m surprised that Tucker demeans himself by interviewing this pathetic dolt.

Is McCain pro life?
Is McCain for the War?

If McCain is a lib on everything else, point is on the two above he would be Conservative. If for nothing else, that’s why you don’t want a Dem in the White House.

"I’ve been to the Reagan library several times, by the way, BobS."

A friend from work drove by the entrance there on the way home: No McCain supporters; no Hillary supporters; a few dozen Romney supporters; more Obama supporters than Romney had; and a whole bunch of Ron Paul supporters. He said the cops were closer to them than the other groups.

Medved is nothing but another Neo-Con phony Conservative showing his true colors. I wish all of these RINOS would just shut up and go away quietly.

“Medved was pretty smug today. I have listened to him for years, sitting at my desk doing my work. I’m about done.”

I have been recently liberated from Medved, and it’s nice to be 100% with my kids again from 3pm-6pm.

So if any good can be taken from Medved’s opportunistic, backstabbing, condescending behavior of late... there you have it.

Medved went on TV and defended Rush at least twice. Once was after the Michael J. Fox debacle.

I wonder if Medved never got a thank-you note.

“Medved the former liberal needs to thank Rush everyday for getting him his start in radio how ungrateful this guy is.”

Medved backstabs Rush;
McCain plays dirty tricks on Romney.

They have both failed the ticking-time-bomb test. Both going whacko before Super Tuesday.

Medved’s comments on the Middle East are worth listening too but other than that, it’s a sleepy show. I’ve always thought that.

McCain supporter Medved

When I lived in Los Angeles I listened nearly daily to Medved and Hugh
Hewitt on KRLA.

Sad to hear Medved has drunk the McCain/Lindsay Graham AMNESTY/RINO Koolaid.

But not suprising.
As Medved has pimped for AMNESTY/ILLEGALS for years.

Medved the ingrate is out to lunch!

I really like Rush and he can be disappointing at times but he is still King of Talk something Medved will never be!

And no matter what happens Rush will still be around to rally up the troops to fight another day for right is might!

Don’t you ever forget this Medved That Rush is the offical Gatekeeper here on earth and your key belongs to the gates of the outhouse!
