Official Obama Criticizer Bo Snerdley Demands Proof of Afghanistan Story (Rush)

The Rush Limbaugh Show ^ | February 22, 2008 | Bo Snerdley

[rightwingintelligentsia]

RUSH: Ladies and gentlemen, I had a conversation with a friend Wednesday afternoon after the program, and he said, "Nobody's criticizing Obama. How are you going to do this? How are you going to handle criticizing the first black American to run for president?" I said, "I'm going to do it the way I always do it. First, at the top of the list I'm going to do it fearlessly. I'm not going to bow to political correctness. I'm going to do it with humor. I'm going to focus on the issues. I'm going to react to what he says. Simple. I'm gong to do it just like if it were any other case -- he's a man, right? He's a liberal. How do I criticize liberals? I criticize them." But I have devised, ladies and gentlemen, an even more creative way of criticizing Obama. I have, just this morning, named a new position here on the staff that is the Official Obama Criticizer. The EIB Network now has an Official Obama Criticizer. He is Bo Snerdley. We are going to illustrate the first, you might call this a pilot, but I think it's going to work and we will do this as warranted. When Obama needs to be criticized, our official criticizer, Bo Snerdley, will do so, and we've got something really here to criticize. If you watched the debate last night, Obama came out with something that's unbelievable, just unbelievable. This is what he said. Number 12, Brian.

[rightwingintelligentsia]

Simply hilarious. I'm wondering what the drive-by reaction will be?

[tips up]

As the Dems like to say, “it’s the seriousness of the allegations, not the nature of the evidence that’s important”. That’s certainly the motto of the NY Times.

[labette]

Some people walked in on me as I was LMAO listening to this at work. They probably thought I was nuts. Too bad they missed it.

[BeAllYouCanBe]

"When Obama needs to be criticized, our official criticizer, Bo Snerdley, will do so.."

Yes, great idea here sort of reverse affirmative action program. Although if only Blacks can criticize Blacks I'd prefer Walter Williams to be the official Obama hatchet man. (Is the EIB network saying that there can be only one official criticizer in the whole USA?)

[Free State Four]

I absolutely loved Bo’s schtick. I think this actually might make this election cycle fun for me. Go Bo!

[Yardstick]

Good old Rush. He’s always messin with their heads.

[netmilsmom]

I missed it. What about Afganistan?

[swatbuznik]

GO BO!! I loved this!!!

[N. Theknow]

Bo can criticize one half of Obama and Rush can criticize the other half.

[rightwingintelligentsia]

Obama on Afghanistan (claims the Taliban arms the US military!)

[GeorgiaDawg32]

don’t be naive..don’t you know the left is saying Rush is obsolete, passe’ and losing listenership??? at least, that’s what they’re saying, so it must be true..

[tsmith130]

This will give you a point of reference:

[TRY ONE]

Yep, simply hilarious, but even half of Rush’s audience do not know that Bo Snerdley is a fictitious character!

[netmilsmom]

Thanks everyone!!!!

[jdm]

How are you going to handle criticizing the first black American to run for president?

Didn't Jesse Jackson run for President?

[BeAllYouCanBe]

"Rush can criticize the other half..

Excellent suggestion since I've been picking up that Barry has a split personality. You know, talking out of one side of his mouth.

[BluH2o]

What about Afganistan?

Obama claimed in the debate the other evening an Army officer (O-3) who served in Afghanistan claimed his troops were using captured Taliban weapons because they couldn't get enough of their own.

[pandemoniumreigns]

Try again...

I believe Bo (aka James Golden) is a friend of JimRob and helped start this site...

Jim?

[rightwingintelligentsia]

And so did Al Sharpton. But Barry is the first serious contender.

[Dustbunny]

Go for it Bo, you are just what we on the right need.

[labette]

You can get an idea from the various links posted.

But to truly appreciate Snerdley's take on the subject, you need to hear it. Much more "colorful" than I am capable of describing.

[Dustbunny]

His name is fictitious but not the man. Many people on the radio use fictitious names. Bo has never hid from the fact that his real name is ‘James Golden’. A very real Black Conservative.

[Shady]

Wrong, Bo is actually James Golden, Rush’s longtime Call-screener left for a while, then when Rush lost his hearing, came back to transcribe calls and is not the “official program observer” AKA Rush’s right-hand man. He was also on an internet talk channel, “TalkSpot” after leaving Limbaugh.

[Ramcat]

+ 1
That was great RADIO.

[bray]

One of the better Black Oblack critiques ever. To even say that our troops are not getting weapons to bash Bush is beyond stupid. The guy is a Senator, couldn’t he do something about that or is he on the Cotton and Peanuts committee?

Pray for W and Our Weaponless Troops

“I believe Bo (aka James Golden) is a friend of JimRob and helped start this site...”

Even if JimRob has a friend named Bo, there is NO real Bo Snerdly on Rush! “Bo Snerdly” is Rush’s equivalent of “Little Black Sambo” to tweak the Libs. Just a couple of days ago some lady called Rush to complain about his berating his staff! Rush loved it!

[rightwingintelligentsia]

Oh, thanks. I forgot to log out before posting the link.

[rightwingintelligentsia]

Anyway, here is the transcript of Snerdley's commentary:

SNERDLEY: This is Bo Snerdley, African-American in good standing and certified black enough to criticize Obama guy. Mr. Obama, the claims you raise are quite serious. The allegations are so incredulous, that, quite frankly, they are difficult to believe, and I want to believe. I want to hope for change. So, with all due respect, Senator Obama, I demand you prove it. Tell America the name of the military official you spoke with and allow an independent investigation to verify these serious allegations you raise. On behalf of our EIB brothers and sisters in the hood, we're asking you, Mr. Obama, what's up with that, yo? You got proof? On behalf of our Hispanic brothers and sisters, we're asking, Señor Obama, es verdad? Okay, that's it, Mr. Limbaugh, finally somebody might be able to make Jimmy Carter look competent.

[liege]

I remember there were a few “Snerdly” brothers on prior to “Bo” becoming call screener/official observer. Rush listed them all at one time. I don’t know their names, though. It almost reminds me of the “Farkle” family from some TV show a while back.

[Becki]

Bo now has his own official fan club!!

We love Bo!!

Becki

[pandemoniumreigns]

“Bo Snerdly” is Rush’s equivalent of “Little Black Sambo”???

Sorry...You are clueless and WRONG!!!!

[oh8eleven]

finally somebody might be able to make Jimmy Carter look competent.
Mission Impossible!

[freekitty]

I was surprised when a black friend said “Obama should go back to Africa and learn what the name Obama means”.

Another said they don’t believe him. I am beginning to wonder if there are really that many black supporters for Obama as the PR tv ads would have you believe.

[oh8eleven]

Sparkle Farkle was my favorite!

[TRY ONE]

“...“Bo Snerdly” is Rush’s equivalent of “Little Black Sambo”???
Sorry...You are clueless and WRONG!!!!”

So, Bo Snerdly is real?!?!? And not part of Rush’s “Farkle” family!?!?!?!

[libbylu]

Every day it seems every network is referencing Rush, as well as many articles written about him. I wonder if it has increased his audience.

[libh8er]

It was hilarious listening to Bo. GoBo ! But there was a tense moment when Bo stumbled on a word, and I am sure the highly trained broadcast specialist on the other side of the glass must have cringed ! :-)

[pandemoniumreigns]

Hmmm....

Your take on this sounds like something the DBM might have.

Yes. Bo is quite real.

[SW6906]

“Obama should go back to Africa and learn what the name Obama means”.

Care to elaborate?

[jabonz08]

I was laughing so hard I nearly snarfed my Philly Cheese Steak Hero.

[nolib1776]

Go Rush, Go Bo!! Politics would be dull and uninspiring without Rush.

[I still care]

“African-American in good standing and certified black enough to criticize Obama guy. “

Rush has obviously learned what Hillary didn’t - if a white person criticizes a black one, the lib press will tag them as “racist”. She thought being a woman would protect her.

[ModelBreaker]

Bo can criticize one half of Obama and Rush can criticize the other half.

Which one will criticize the Muslim half?

[mowowie]

From Wiki

” “Bo” Snerdly
The official “program observer.” His real name is James Golden, and his exact duties with the program are unclear. From comments Limbaugh has made on the air, it would seem he assists with research as part of preparation for the show and is in the control booth as the show is being broadcast. He co-hosted a Sunday night talk show, James and Joel, on WABC-AM with Joel Santisteban from 1992 to 1998. He is also the former call screener for The Rush Limbaugh Show. Snerdley is a pseudonym Limbaugh invented for his call screeners in general, and several have been called so over the years, both male and female. During a show in 2004, Limbaugh was not at the microphone for the last segment of the second hour (it was only about ten seconds), and Snerdly came on instead: “This is Bo Snerdly, Rush will be right back on the EIB Network.” It was one of the very rare times his voice has been heard on the program. “Bo” Snerdly screens callers at the Palm Beach Florida broadcasting location and in New York City (when “H.R.” is unavailable to screen calls in NYC). Recently, Snerdly has been appointed by Limbaugh as the show’s official critic of Barack Obama.”

[bigfootbob]

James Golden also hosted an internet radio show called Talk Spot from Seattle for a little while in the late ‘90’s until the liberalism of our area sent him packing.

[TRY ONE]

Thanks!

[kalee]

Yes, Jesse Jackson has run in the past. Al Sharpton and Alan Keyes have also run and they are black. Obama is NOT the first.

[freekitty]

Can’t elaborate. All I know is that is what my black friend said.

[ConservativeStLouisGuy]

Rushbo Bumparooni!

RUSH: Barack Obama was on our San Antonio EIB affiliate WOAI with anchor Jim Forsyth. Forsyth said, "Senator Obama, what's your feeling on this picture incident," where you're dressed up out there like Bin Laden, "and politics like this?"

 

OBAMA:  I think the American people are saddened when they see this kind of politics.  Everybody knows that whether it's me, or Senator Clinton, or Bill Clinton, that when you travel to other countries, oftentimes they ask you to, you know, try on a traditional, uhh, garb that has been given as a gift.  Uh, the notion that the Clinton campaign would be trying  to circulate this, um, as a negative, uh, on the same day that, you know, Senator Clinton was scheduled to make a speech about how we repair our relationships around the world, uh, I think is sad.

 

RUSH:  We turn now to the Official EIB Obama Criticizer, Bo Snerdley.

 

SNERDLEY:  This is Bo Snerdley, Official EIB Barack Criticizer, African-American, certified black guy, black enough to criticize.  I have a statement: "Senator Obama, your reaction to the release of the picture showing you in native garb with your extended family in Africa was...regretful.  While the motives of the Clinton camp in disseminating the image are clear, your response was baffling.  Instead of acting wounded, whining, and like you're ashamed of the photo in the first place; it would have been wiser for you to take pride in the photo. Explain that world leaders, such as yourself, often wear the traditional garb when you visit foreign lands -- especially if you're visiting your family!  You could have also dug up the pictures of both Bill and Hillary Clinton attired in similar African garb while they were pretending to be the black president and first lady.  Bad form, Mr. Obama.  You need to develop a much thicker skin, and not fall for Clinton tricks."

 

 

Now, the translation for EIB brothers and sisters in the hood. "Yo, oh! What's up with you acting dissed when they only rolled out a shot of you with your African garb. Yo!  You were in the mother land with the peeps.  That was lame, yo!  These are your peeps.  You were stylin'.  Instead of acting dissed, you shoulda rolled out large and told Clinton and everybody else what was up.  This is what the big dogs do, yo, not like Bill faking it, putting on some kente cloth when he goes to Africa, then forgetting all about the home boys when he comes back home.  Like that.  You shoulda also told Hillary: 'Yo, baby, maybe if you dress up in some costumes and get out of that bumblebee outfit, you might keep your man at home for a change.'  Okay?  You feel me?  Don't fall for Clinton 'trickinology,' bro."  That concludes this statement.

 

RUSH:  That's Official Obama Criticizer Bo Snerdley, ladies and gentlemen, here at the EIB Network.  Bill Clinton also wanted to weigh in today...
