Here is audio of Rush Limbaugh today saying that President Barack Obama "wants me to fail," and that he believes Obama is "more afraid of me than he is of Mitch McConnell" and "John Boehner." Limbaugh made the response today following Obama's statement to GOP Leaders last Friday that they are going to have to "not just listen to Rush Limbaugh." . . . . . . . (Listen to Rush)

Radio host Rush Limbaugh said Monday that President Obama is “frightened of me.” “He’s obviously more frightened of me than he is [Senate Minority Leader] Mitch McConnell,” Limbaugh told listeners. “He’s more frightened of me, then he is of say, [House Minority Leader] John Boehner, which doesn’t say much about our party.” Limbaugh’s comments followed reports Obama warned GOP congressional leaders last week that they should stop listening to the conservative talker, who had said on air he wanted the new president to fail. "Now this is the great unifier," he told listeners Monday. "This is the man who's going...

For many liberals, that Obamagasmic "tingle going up their legs" from the campaign season -- to paraphrase MSNBC's Chris Matthews -- may have crept upward into stomach-churning queasiness as Inauguration Day nears. Consider this counterfactual: If John McCain had won the 2008 presidential election (just a scant half million votes needed to swing the other way in Colorado, Florida, Indiana, North Carolina, Ohio, and Virginia ... I know, I know), it's easy to imagine him picking Bono-approved, "new age" evangelist Rick Warren to give the inaugural invocation, leaving Robert Gates as defense secretary and proposing an economic stimulus package that...

Hebert wants her to shut up or shut down. Do we need any more proof that we are inching ever closer to the Democrats' thought-police mentality? If he cannot silence Sarah, he wants to redefine her as "incompetent," "dumb," "air-headed" and a "hillbilly." Democrats have seen Sarah's story before, and it scares them to death. They will stop at nothing to extinguish this threat in its infancy. They know they lost the heart and soul of America when another governor, Ronald Reagan, burst upon the national scene and changed the course of history, crushing their liberal agenda. Like Herod versus...

Joe Biden wonders whether Barack Obama is qualified to be commander-in-chief. "Mark my words," Biden warned Sunday at a Democratic fund-raiser. "It will not be six months [after the inauguration] before the world tests Barack Obama like they did John Kennedy." Then he added, "Watch. We're going to have an international crisis, a generated crisis, to test the mettle of this guy." Now, here's where it gets scary. Obama's "gonna need your help to use your influence within the community to stand with him. Because it's not gonna be apparent initially, it's not gonna be apparent that we're right." He's...

Who's Afraid of 'Obsession'? 17 October 2008 | 15:44 | FOCUS News Agency Los Angeles. The Muslim Public Affairs Council (MPAC) - an organization identified as a California-based Muslim Brotherhood front - convened a press conference today in Los Angeles with a senior representative of local law enforcement and members of other faiths, FrontPageMagazine.com reports. The stated purpose is to unveil a new “united front” initiative called the “Coalition for Renewing American Democracy” which MPAC has apparently conjured up in order to inveigh against “Obsession,” a documentary film that powerfully, and authoritatively, dissects radical Islam’s war against the West. Shortly...

John McCain's own Web site shows why running mate Sarah Palin is dangerous: Her straight talk on common values for many Americans makes sense, even while she spouts vile nonsense about Barack Obama. Examples (from a New Hampshire Union-Leader story, quoted directly on McCain's Web site): -- Palin just this week told a reporter that she would repeat her attack "in a hearbeat," that Obama is "palling around with terrorists." "Because I'll tell you, when you kick off your political career in the living room of an unrepentant, known domestic terrorist and then you continue that association with him via...

In early June, Senator John McCain invited Senator Barack Obama to attend a series of up to 10 “town hall” style meetings throughout the summer. At the time of the invitation Obama was receptive to the idea of appearing with McCain at the “town hall” meetings, but in early August, the Obama campaign cited a very busy campaign schedule as to why they would not attend the meetings. To date, the candidates have only agreed to the standard 3 presidential debates and 1 vice presidential debate. My question is simple. Of what is the Obama campaign afraid?

Scroll down for updates…Gianna responds…” (go to link to watch ads) Gianna Jessen is the powerfully eloquent survivor of abortion who recently appeared in the ad above challenging Barack Obama’s opposition as state senator to the Illinois Born Alive Infants Protection Act. I hear from a source that WKYC-TV in Cleveland has confirmed Obama is running an ad responding to the BornAliveTruth.org ad featuring Jessen. Says my source: ------------------------------- Obama’s campaign told the Associated Press they would only be running “low-profile radio ads and campaign mailings.” They deliberately misled the media to portray a false sense of low-key campaigning. The...

Grassroots person-to-person contacts can negate his eight-figure campaign budget"Unmasking the Source of an Internet Rumor" shows how viral E-mail can decide the 2008 Presidential election. "Viral E-mail" does not mean the E-mail contains a computer virus; instead, it spreads like a virus (or propagates like a nuclear chain reaction). The Flash presentation at Jewsvote.org presents this concept visually, and it shows why the Obama campaign finds the idea terrifying. If neighbor to neighbor contacts expose Obama's support for Black Nationalism, his association with racists and anti-Semites of every stripe, and his questionable campaign financing methods, all the money in the...

While the millions of Muslims in America are observing the month of Ramadan and concentrating on gaining as many blessings as possible in this noble month, we would be deaf, dumb, and blind not to be caught up in election fever. Every media outlet is giving non-stop coverage to the contest between the Democratic Presidential nominee Senator Barack Obama and Vice-Presidential candidate Sen. Joe Biden and the Republican candidate John McCain and his running mate, Alaska Governor Sarah Palin. Given the unpopularity of President George W. Bush and the Democratic leads in polls, most observers have assumed it to be...

FOR two weeks, Democrats and their media allies have leveled scorching fire at Sarah Palin. It's not having much effect, but they keep at it anyway. The latest Fox News poll shows Palin with a 54-27 favorable/unfavorable ratio, which compares well with Barack Obama's 57-36, John McCain's 60-33 and Joe Biden's 51-29. (Of the four, she's the most popular). Why do Democrats feel so threatened? They've even stopped attacking McCain and President Bush to launch a vicious and sexist barrage at her that would normally make a feminist angry and a Democrat blush. Basically, it's this: John McCain only endangers...

In an interview this morning about her three-week run at an Atlantic City casino, I offhandedly asked “Wonder Woman” Lynda Carter how she felt about the media calling VP candidate Sarah Palin the “new Wonder Woman.” I wasn’t expecting her no-holds-barred response: Don’t get me started. She’s the anti-Wonder Woman. She’s judgmental and dictatorial, telling people how they’ve got to live their lives. And a superior religious self-righteousness … that’s just not what Wonder Woman is about. Hillary Clinton is a lot more like Wonder Woman than Mrs. Palin. She did it all, didn’t she? No one has the right...

Democratic jitters about the US presidential race have spread to Capitol Hill, where some members of Congress are worried that Barack Obama’s faltering campaign could hurt their chances of re-election. Party leaders have been hoping to strengthen Democratic control of the House and Senate in November, but John McCain’s jump in the polls has stoked fears of a Republican resurgence. A Democratic fundraiser for Congressional candidates said some planned to distance themselves from Mr Obama and not attack Mr McCain. “If people are voting for McCain it could help Republicans all the way down the ticket, even in a year...

Liberals fear what they can't control, and subsequently seek the elimination of what they fear. This explains their past efforts to blacklist patriotism, stifle free markets, disarm the American citizenry, and shackle free speech. It also explains why they're currently pulling out all stops in their effort to destroy Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin. The patriotism feared by liberals isn't the standard American-flag-pinned-on-your-lapel-patriotism (hardly anyone other than Barack Obama is against that). The kind they are afraid of is that which was stirred in us by the attacks on Pearl Harbor and again on 9/11 -- the kind that...

The Obama campaign is issuing a response TV ad to McCain's "Mavericks" ad released this morning. (Linked to in previous post.) Want evidence the Obama campaign is worried about Gov. Sarah Palin? Look no further than this ad, which attacks her, too. Here's the script Obama VO: I’m Barack Obama and I approved this message. ANNOUNCER: They call themselves mavericks. Whoa. Truth is…they’re anything but. John McCain is hardly a maverick…when 7 of his top campaign advisors are Washington lobbyists. He’s no maverick when he votes with Bush 90% of the time. ANNCR: And Sarah Palin’s no maverick either. She...

Who let Whoopi Goldberg blog without an editor? In her Wow-O-Wow blog post titled "Sarah Palin Is a Very Dangerous Woman," she lobs a wild pitch about the Alaskan Independence Party kerfuffle: "I also thought that this idea of America first coming from her was kind of strange because she was one of the people who wanted to succeed from the United States. She was part of a campaign to succeed Alaska from the United States of America." Where’s the editor to say "Sorry, dear, don't you mean ‘secede’?" Whoopi’s article concluded by suggesting Gov. Palin's speech reminded her of...

I just have to talk about Sarah Palin’s speech a little bit. She gave a really amazing speech, very strong, very strident and it gave the Republicans everything they wanted to hear. They know that she’s a tough chick and she’s a babe and she’s a mom and all those other wonderful things we should be celebrating — the first time I think we’ve ever celebrated all of these things in a woman. Maybe Hillary Clinton wasn’t such a babe but she was defiantly strident and strong and people lost their minds and said how rough she was and how...

The leftist media and Obama camp not only have their knickers in a twist because of McCain’s brilliant, maverick pick for V.P. Sarah Palin, they can’t find enough therapists to deal with the fear. I don’t recall in my life time Presidential elections where children have been savaged and attacked so readily. Of course, as the masses have heard of Sarah’s pregnant daughter who has plans to marry and keep the baby by the way, Obama has come out and said that kids are off limits. If course we all believe and know that he nor his warm and fuzzy...
