Obama Tries to Flush Rush

Obama Tries to Flush Rush Wednesday, September 24, 2008 By L. Brent Bozell III

For two decades, going back to the Willie Horton ads of 1999, we’ve heard liberals accuse Republicans of race-baiting. Throughout this campaign, there have been endless whispers, suggestions, and outright accusations that GOP could/would play the race card because Obama is half-black. Now Barack Obama has found his bizarre version of Willie Horton, and it’s…Rush Limbaugh.

Obama sneakily tried to air a Spanish-language TV ad telling Latinos that Limbaugh thinks Mexicans are all stupid and Mexican immigrants should all shut up and go home, and that Limbaugh and John McCain are identical twins on immigration.

None of it is true. Now when Obama talks about reaching across the aisle and healing a divided Washington, we’ll fall to the ground laughing.

How far we’ve come since January, when moderate McCain won in South Carolina, and the liberal media were declaring that this showed that Limbaugh and his right-wing views were politically dead. Tom Brokaw huffily declared on “Meet the Press” that McCain’s win showed Americans had rejected “dogma,” and were a “nomadic herd” hungering only for “solutions,” something conservatives apparently can’t offer.

1999 was just shy 1 decade ago, not two. But it's still a good read.

"Now when Obama talks about reaching across the aisle and healing a divided Washington, we’ll fall to the ground laughing."

Barack Hussein Obama is a pathological liar. In June 2008, Obama was questioned by Charles Gibson about going toe to toe with John McCain in a series of "Town Hall" debates. They would essentially be unscripted opportunities for Americans to ask the candidates all the hard questions.

Every single time the McCain Camp presses Obama for a follow-up to this statement, the Obama people cite "scheduling conflicts."

Obama is a liar, a racist and a thief who will do irreparable damage to our Republic.

There is absolutely nothing good in him as he is evil and hatred personified.

It was.

Whitewater was Jerry Brown against Clinton.
