Carville Fires Back at Limbaugh Over Who Wants Which President to Fail
FoxNews ^ | 3/11/09 | Fox News

Posted on 03/11/2009 4:58:40 PM PDT by anniegetyourgun

James Carville fired back at radio host Rush Limbaugh Wednesday, who earlier in the day took the Democratic strategist to task for saying of President Bush in 2001, "I certainly hope he doesn't succeed." Carville told CNN that unlike Limbaugh, who recently said he wants President Obama to fail, Carville retracted his own missive -- uttered to a group of reporters on the morning of Sept. 11, 2001 -- just minutes later, when he learned of the terrorist attacks on America. "Thank God that I had the good sense to realize that the United States was at war and that changed everything, Carville said. "Once I found out that the country was at war, I said: Whatever I said, disregard it; it's inoperative."

I'm tired of this dithering while the nation fails under the creep in the oval office.

Uh, you meant what you originally said and didn't want to be seen as being for whomever bombed the WTC.

James, YOU ARE AN IDIOT!

Who cares what a radio personality says, anyway. That radio personality cannot affect my life in any way.

This is all a distraction technique by Saul's soldiers. Not that politicians trying to distract our attention away from them is anything new, it's just this is the first time I have seen were the press assists

Hey Carville, way too little; way too late! You’ve been exposed and the American people can hear and see your hypocrisy and that of your cohorts.

“Unlike Mr. Limbaugh,” he added, who “kept insisting that he wanted the president to fail at a time of war.”

Say what?!

Why did being at “war” change anything, Carville?

Was your position the truth before the attack or not?

If it was true before, it was true afterwards.

If it was not true before, it would not be true afterwards.

No, you scumsucking alien looking maggot—you wanted the President to fail, but you knew you would be skewered if that comment got out.

And if the media present in the room weren’t Dems, they would not have protected your snakeskin covered hide.

Reptile.

Carville and Greenburg focus grouped how to turn the American people against Bush, and their modus operandi was obvious for anyone to see. The Democrats, as soon as they sensed they could, set out to turn the American people against the war on radical islam.

Anyone with half a brain could see it happening in real time. Which means that the Republicans apparently missed it.

>>Hey Carville, way too little; way too late! You’ve been exposed and the American people can hear and see your hypocrisy and that of your cohorts.

Only a child says “I take it back.” At the time of his utterance, Carville wanted Bush to fail, in no uncertain terms.

This is gonna be good.

Agreed, we all need to separate individuals on talk radio or politicians, from policies. I don’t need to worship Rush, Bush, or anyone else. If they do something good for the country I am all for them.

Obama is certainly delivering on his promise of CHANGE by running a personal smear campaign out of the White House. I just HOPE it backfires when 0’s socialist programs FAIL.
