They wanted this guy too. By the way, I found this by Googling "French idiot".

Don't Be Afraid of the Drive-Bys
July 25, 2008
BEGIN TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: We'll start in Ava Maria, Florida. This is Andy. Thank you, sir, for waiting. I appreciate your patience. You're up first.
CALLER: Mega Ava Maria and Army veteran dittos, Rush.
RUSH: Thank you, sir.
CALLER: I'm a bit nervous. I can't believe I actually got through. I've been trying to for 13 years.
RUSH: Well, congratulations, sir.
CALLER: I just went over to grab lunch earlier and unfortunately I caught a CNN broadcast. They were reporting that 85% of the French polled would vote Obama over McCain if they could.
RUSH: Yeah.
CALLER: Well, I'm glad it's not up to them. My question is who actually came up with this poll? And I'd also like to comment that it's a good reason not to vote for Obama, in my opinion.
RUSH: You know, these are the kind of things, the Obama people better be very careful about this. I know that the Obama people probably aren't doing this but the Drive-Bys are. The Drive-Bys, don't forget the Drive-Bys are part of history. They want to make history. This is more about the Drive-Bys, this campaign is, than it is about Obama. It's about him a lot, but it's about them, too. Hell, 70% of the Germans that they polled said they would vote for Obama. But it doesn't mean anything because they can't vote in America for our presidential candidates. They can't participate in our race. It's so obvious how transparent this effort that the Drive-Bys are making, and I'll tell you the umbrella under which all these polls fall is that America sucks, that the Europeans know better about what to do than we do. That's exactly all this means, and I'm telling you, the American people, the ones that matter here are not stupid, this does not escape them. The Drive-Bys think that their buddies in New York and D.C. and Los Angeles will be impressed and moved by this, but Obama's already got those voters.
You go out into the heartland, into blue state America and you go out and tell them, "Hey, the French want Obama by 80%," you know what they'll say? "The French?" (raspberry) Not they don't like the French, but you stay out of our affairs, and you don't try to tell us how stupid we are by telling us how smart the Europeans are. If the Europeans are so great, how come we keep surpassing them all the time? How come we have to defend them? How come they don't produce anything anymore? How come they have record unemployment rates? How come their wages are stagnant? If the Europeans are so damn great, then that's the way they see it. So I think there's a backlash going on. I mentioned this to Snerdley in the break at the top of the hour. He's all depressed today. I said, "You're getting sucked in by the pictures." Snerdley's getting sucked into the pictures and I don't think people are going to sucked in by the pictures, and I know the people in this audience are not going to get sucked into the pictures. He's slumping in his chair back there. I said, "I think he's going to lose this, Snerdley." I think this boomerang is happening much faster. People are tired of Obama, they are tired of seeing him on television all the time, they are tired of sycophantic slavish, disciple-like coverage. (doing Snerdley impression) "I dunno, hope you're right." Just total defeatism in there where Snerdley was. I said, "What is your problem?" "McCain, I mean..." I said, "Snerdley, don't worry about that. You've got to remember this is, I told you a month ago this election is not about Obama versus McCain."
This is going to be a referendum on Barack Obama and that ain't good because the Democrats wanted this to be a referendum on George W. Bush and they wanted to tie McCain to George W. Bush. The problem is Bush isn't hated. They think he's hated, but he's not hated. He's unpopular, but he's not hated. And he's not a factor anyway because he's leaving. To try to say that McCain is a continuation of Bush, that's a stretch. It's going to come down to whether or not the people of this country want Barack Hussein Obama to be President of the United States and whether they want Michelle (My Belle) Obama to be the first lady of the United States. It's going to come down to that. Do they want Jeremiah Wright walking in and out of the Oval Office now and then? Do they want Bill Ayers being close, Bill Ayers going to state dinners? Do they want Louis Farrakhan finally getting into the White House? These are the kind of things that the real people, real voters are going to be thinking about, and it isn't going to be all this hype and pap and PR that the Drive-Bys are putting out. Snerdley, the way you ought to look at it, if these pictures, all week long if these pictures were so powerful, how come Obama's losing ground in the polls? What has McCain done to gain any ground? What has he done? He's shut up is what he's done. He's out of the news. It always helps. Same thing with Mrs. Clinton. The more she spoke, the bigger problems she had.
McCain's been out of the news; Obama's in the news. Who's going up and who's going down? It's a referendum on Obama. The Drive-Bys have got to be beside themselves. They have never invested in a candidate like this, never, not in our life times. I wasn't alive to see what they did with FDR. Maybe JFK but even that they had to count some obscure phantom votes in West Virginia to bring that off and there wasn't a Rush Limbaugh show back then because I was only nine years old. I was nothing but a star of the future back then. With all of this, the slavish disciple sycophantic behavior not reporting one negative about Obama, portraying him as something unique and never before seen in all of humanity. He's losing ground. If the Drive-Bys have that much impact this race would be over, he would be over 60% which, by the way, you go back to 1984, Mondale was up big over Reagan at this point. Kerry was up big over Bush at this point in 2004. Obama is not big over McCain anywhere. Another reason why I counsel, "Don't be afraid of the Drive-Bys." I know they have impact. I know they do. The AP especially. You got to really look out for that Bush. The AP is the last remaining vestige of the Drive-By monopoly. The other guys have been busted up. But I'm telling you they don't have the impact. They're not king-makers. They can't do it. It's being demonstrated. You've just got to be confident, folks, to understand this. It's right out in front of your face. Do you see how hard my job is? Even my staff, I go in there at the 1:00 break and Snerdley's slouching in defeat. Not defeat, that's a bit too strong. You just got taken into the pictures, taken into the pictures. And there aren't any pictures of McCain. Well, I know there are pictures, like, getting off the plane with one reporter and one cameraman, I know.
BREAK TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: I just got a note from a friend that said, "Hey, Snerdley's not the only one that's depressed." The friend said, "I have this image. I can't get this image out of my mind. It's based on the fact that McCain has openly said he doesn't know how to use computers and doesn't spend time on the Internet. Rush, I just have this image of a couple of reporters taking their little tape recorders in to McCain's office and saying, 'John, Senator McCain, this is the record button. When you have something to say to us, just hit that; we've got to go catch the Obama bus,' and they just leave him alone with a tape recorder and come back later and make a news story out of it." I'm telling you, this is going to be a referendum on Obama.
END TRANSCRIPT
Let the backlash begin!!
I doubt him.
And this is why Rush is worth every penny they pay him... he's nailed the drive-bys...
Maybe we'll see Obama with one glove on his hand.
Be patient...this is like a political version of American Idol...pretty soon people are watching the Olympics...and Obama has stupidly bought media time there...
It’s like William Hung, or whatever his name was...they bad asian singer from American Idol or whatever...it was kool for a while, but when push came to shove, there was no way people wanted him as the winner.
Obama will wear badly just like Rush says.
He should be ahead by 10-15 points...he’s toast.
The Drive-by-Media elected a Dem congress in 2006.
This is Obama vs. Obama, nothing more or less.
Given the compliance of the MSM the haloed one's campaign should be able to achieve that modest goal, if only barely.
Sarge, GOD BLESS YOUR SACRIICES FOR OUR FREEDOMS!
May GOD Bless Us and America and Save Us from this Anti-American, Do Nothing Abberation the Demorats have chosen as their Most Unqualified Terrorist Loving Nominee ever.
I believe absolutely that Rush is correct. Everyday HUSSEIN is on that TV, more and more Americans forget about everything except how disgusting HUSSEIN really is; he p*ssed of Pennsylvania real bad with his bitter American comments and they haven’t forgotten nor will they! Likewise, the other REAL Americans that make this Country Spectacular and Wonderful and Truly a Gift of Our Wonderful GOD. All Obie has is Michelle and Allah!
No no, the German people love him. Why the even laughed at his "My father is a Kenyan goat herder" routine.
Then they even made the camel woman in heat sound, and I swear the Germans were about to break a few ribs they were laughing at him so hard!
I wish some of Rush's staff would make him play that clip a few more times. He probably didn't hear it, because of his bionic ear and all.
Hey Snerdly!!!! Tell him about this!!!
” 85% of the French polled would vote Obama over McCain if they could.” Well Frogs don’t vote here !! If it wasn’t for us they would be speaking Kraut now !
I'm not so sure. I think it was more RATS running as non-gun hating, right leaning, God-fearing believers - which the BIG RATS are afraid of most. Great strategy at the time but Blue Dogs will control any pro-drilling vote. San Fran Gran and Dingy Harry are now in a total bind.
Sarkozky is a nice guy so in the spirit of Franco-American cooperation, I propose the following:
Your Frenchies vote for Obama (in your own country) and I get Mrs. Sarkozy. (She was a model, you know, a real French Hottie)
Oh, did you know that John F*cking Kerry was in Cambodia, speaking French to our So. Vietnamese allies who were shooting at him thinking he was a Xmas tree? You didnt’? Neither did he?
Any people who eat snails provides us with tons of funny things to say about them.
They wanted this guy too. By the way, I found this by Googling "French idiot".
The image of Wright, Ayers, and Farrakhan ensconced in their White house sleep-over rooms should be enough to horrify any sane voter. Can it really be that roughly half of the voting population is this oblivious?
Senator Barack Obama says he will get away from the failed policies of the past. His energy ad says we will use new technology (policy of the past), increase mileage standards (policy of the past) and give us all $1,000 (we just got money that Mrs. Michelle Obama said is not helping).
Senator John McCain wants to drill and build nuclear plants. My old econ class said increasing supply brings down the price of a good but Mr. Obama says we can’t drill our way out of this problem. Apparently, the economics class he took says you can TALK your way out of it.
Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups.
And no one has ever lost an election by underestimating the stupidity of the American people.
The majority are Leftists; the makeup of Congress is proof of that. The Sheep want a Leftist government in power, so they can have more free stuff that other people pay for.
As long as “Celebrities Dancing with the American Idols who Want to be Millionaires with Regis and Kelly on the next Oprah” is on right now...
If they were “speaking Kraut,” they’d be one up on “The Anointed One.” He rails at us for not being able to speak foreign languages, but this stoat can’t speak anything but English (or maybe Sundanese, or Arabic so he could read the Koran).
Rules...

I’ll answer in the next post, he is a Hero.
When I heard this call and the comments about the French all I could remember was the changing of the name across America from French Fries to Freedom Fries and people here in flyover country refusing to buy French wine.
And for good reason—the Republicans forgot the Contract With America and had been acting like Democrats for the previous four to six years and they got turned out. Now the Nancy Pelosi and Dingy Harry Reid Democrats and their environmental extremist controllers have starved us into an energy crisis and the average American driver is not going to forget the do-nothing Democrats and $4+ per gallong gasoline and diesel fuel at election time. That is if the Republicans have the cajones to make this a big election issue.
That isn't his daughter? Dang. (Must be something in the wine...)
No one should try to compare 2008 to past elections. It's the information age, 24/7 news cycle. Carter/Reagon was a different era. Bush/Kerry was a different era. It will be unfortunate if our side underestimates the voter turnout of the myspace generation. While they won't surpass the baby boomers, they are pro-gay agenda/abortion, and unfortunately many are registered to vote - and will vote because Obama/Oprah/homosexual-Geffen has a GOTV effort unlike anything we've seen.
Anyone who discounts Obama’s/OPRAH’s/homosexual-Geffen organizational skills, aren't helping McCain. They have mass transport already organized for election day - along with intense vote-by-mail organization prior to election day...
While some on our side will be getting drunk in order to vote for McCain, Obama/Oprah/Geffen are organizing the more-than-enough votes (based on their intel) in the battle ground states to topple McCain. Does anyone on the right have a real grasp on the voter turn-out for the left in battle ground states, in order to compensate above and beyond the left's organizational plan?
Nope. George W. Bush and the Republican Senate did it. Can't be fixed unless that is acknowledged.
Amnesty, open borders, reckless spending. Remember all the vetos? Neither can I. It's a pretty good list of stuff they did, or didn't do, to alienate the party base and a lot of America.
The Republican leadership (if it deserves the term leadership) will never stop being spineless liberals unless they can admit to themselves that
A) they are, and
B) that's why they are losers.
Not because of the media nor the Democrats. They ought to be moping the floor with the Democrats right now. Bush and the bully pulpit? One speech rescinding one exec order is not effective use of the bully pulpit.
The Hillary vote is STILL pissed off. There will be plenty of RAT voters staying home this year. Good luck to the rookie in 2012.
Oh, man I love how the media overplays its weak hand.
I haven’t been able to hear Rush in some time. Has he coined anything like the term “Obamagasm” yet? (Oh jeeze it gave me the creeps to type that word.)
He had a photo-op at the Western Wall in Jerusalem. He and his campaign, then made sure his prayer was printed for all to see. The Obama campaign made sure the prayer was printed.
How does Obama not see that his campaign's decision to reveal his very contrived prayer to the Jewish newspaper, along with distributing official Obama banners at the Jewish sacred site, would not be perceived as calculating and political?
Obama has made so many mistakes within the past few days, it's breathtaking. Bush will denounce Obama’s run for President of the World, which jeopardizes our country's safety, for the rest of his life. But for now, timing is everything.
Cute. If that was the case then explain 2002 and 2004 since all of the above was happening as well.
I think I heard it earlier this week. (And yes, it was funny.)
Strange - 'Obamagasm' passes the FR spell check - but 'Obama' doesn't. Coincidence? I don't think so...
"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." - Manuel II Palelologus
This is why I have been calling him barack mcgovern for months.
Cute?
Things don't come to a boiling point on what you or I may consider a reasonable timetable with an electorate.
Personally, I find it difficult to understand why it took until 2006 for the party base to throw in the towel. Nonetheless, it did. A lot of people are thoroughly fried about amnesty, open borders, Bush's unwillingness (or inability - same result) to provide leadership to the Republican party. Things just add up in people's minds, and the tipping point does not necessarily come when you or I would expect.
The average voter is not a political junkie like most of us here. I think that it just takes a lot longer for things to sink in. Also, very limited attention spans.
