Rush: "I don't think" Obama "cares about Afghanistan"; claims Obama's Dover visit was a "photo op"

Just like St. Ronnie and the Marines from Beruit, huh Rush?

Limbaugh = human piece of garbage.

Our classy president paid his respects and now shows the war is his responsibility. Its not like he put on a flak jacket or whatever costume Bush did.

Rush Limbaugh's Military Record is so Pristine it's impossible to Find.
He is a Man ready for War as long as Poor Whites, Blacks & Hispanics do the Grind.
"We Support The Troops" These words are easy to say when you are sitting in America Safe & Secure.
But when you are in Afghanistan being Shot at these words are not quite so Pure.

Speak truth to power.


Mr. News

it's just after 8 am on the west coast. i just had my first cup of 'time change' coffee. this is the first thing i see today. man, i can throw up. look at this old destructive tool. where's your tie big boy? you look like archie bunkers drunk younger brother. i hope my day gets better than this.

Bush and Cheney forgot about Afghanistan from the moment they began pushing to invade Iraq until they were out of office.

Facts, El Fathead.

It would be politically correct for Rush to assume an evil intent to everything Obama does and to deny such intent on conservatives.

Roger Ailes putting Limbaugh on its FOX News Sunday program is really just a big "Fuc# you" to the administration. It has nothing to do with news, and is nothing more than Limbaugh's standard radio vomit.

Rush Limbaugh you are a pig.

A Marine Mom

Did Wallace start to challenge the almighty el Rushbo at the end? Woooooooooooooow

Um, FOX Propaganda? Yeah, you call the show Fox News Sunday? Well, the fact is, what Mr. Limbaugh 'thinks'? That isn't exactly news. See, he's thought the same thing every week day on the air for three hours for the last, what, 13 years now? I think we are all painfully aware what he 'thinks'. Maybe this is another of your vaunted opinion shows, and you just haven't changed the name yet? Really, I'm just trying to help you out here.

Mr. Limbaugh? Where were you when President Bush took a giant wrong turn in the 'war on terror' by diverting our forces from Afghanistan to Iraq? Oh, that's right. You were cheering him on, and saying anyone who was opposed to this war of opportunity was an unpatriotic marxist communist fascist yada yada yada.

As for photo ops, why are we still fighting?!

What you believe is irrelevant, unless we are talking about theology. What you can prove, you don't want to reveal, because the facts, and history, are not on your side.

Given that Bush didn't visit Afghanistan until six years into the war there, and Obama visited before he was even elected, who really cared about Afghanistan? And, what do you imagine victory in Afghanistan will look like? Filled with white people, a Mao-Mart on every corner, parking lots full of SUVs? Dare to be honest, Rush.

Democrats may seem soft on defense, but that is a misperception created by you and yours to deflect from the fact that the right-wing is made up primarily of chickenhawks.

Once again, someone who has earned a handsome living, hiding behind and or wrapping himself in the flag, uses our war dead to push his political agenda.

He sold this war to his followers from the beginning. And he has refused to confront the price that others have paid for the misadventure he triumphed.

People like him never experience the nightmare that they promote. They just climb on the bodies to make themselves appear taller.

Yup, photo op. Sorta like Reagan's visit to Bitburg, only thoughtful and caring.

And "I don't think (Obama) cares about Afghanistan." I don't think Bush cared about Afghanistan. Can I be interviewed now on Fox? Clearly as an American citizen, my voice is just as legit, right?

This .. from a man who has made himself rich by convincing one group of patriotic Americans hate another group of patriotic Americans. Well done, Rush, our enemies appreciate your efforts.

Rush: "I don't think" Obama "cares about Afghanistan"; claims Obama's Dover visit was a "photo op"

Oh I thought it was the thing to do as a Commander in Chief. He lited the ban to honor families decision if they wanted their son or daughter photographed then thy could do that. Bush never went to Dover Air Force Base. Did Wallance bring that up? NOOOOO!

Plus if Bush did the things he should have done 6 years ago the war in Afghanistan would be over. Instead he dithered away from that to move to a war with a country that did nothing to us.

Bush plays dress up and lands on an aircraft carrier parked just off the coast of California to say "mission accomplished", and Rush said what about that? IT'S AWESOME. Obama honors the dead and Rush says what about that? Photo op.

Soulless bombastic bimbo is too nice a description of Rush, but it'll have to do.

If you are such a patriot, have YOU ever visited DOVER topay your respects to our returning dead servicemen?

At a time when the Department of Defense (not the U.S. Armed Forces, but merely those Officers who work in the Pentagon office building, and are almost all just way too close to the wealth of private defense contractors and their many billions)...

At a time when they're (private defense contractors) trying to pressure and intimidate the Commander in Chief (our President) into making a snap decision about Afghanistan troop levels, and they're publicly doing this via press releases and interviews and even public speeches (Gates and McCrystal), from the U.S. Senate and House floors no less...

And this private citizen rush limbaugh takes center stage on News Corp's (and the RNC's) broadcast arm Fox 'News' Channel, and he publicly cries out across the cable spectrum on your television, that the Commander in Chief doesn't care about the fact that he inherited U.S. Troops in Afghanistan (put there by George W. Bush according to a strategy of his and Dick Cheney's and donald rumsfeld etc.), and that their lives are now not only his responsibility (which they are of course), but that rush expresses his disapproval, worse his malicious disrespect...

A private citizen has this much power on our Public Airwaves Radio and Television, that he scolds the Commander in Chief about U.S. Troops in Afghanistan on television...

A private person in the employ of privately owned and programmed media corporations, he has that kind of publicly challenging power to damn someone on the Public Airwaves Radio and Television, he has this power on the Public Airwaves...

But you don't.

You can't give your political opinion about this issue of National Policy on broadcast television, you have no opportunity to defend your own political opinion against rush limbaugh's destructive and slanderous insults agianst our President, but rush has this precious privately-controlled power of a public resource the Public Airwaves Radio and Television...

Why?

Why isn't there anybody demanding EQUAL TIME in this matter on the Public Airwaves, or even REPLY TIME for being personally attacked on the Public Airwaves, and demanding the same political power that rush limbaugh has on our public resource Public Airwaves Radio and Television.

It's not right.

I don't know who it is that forfeited our regulatory EQUAL TIME and REPLY TIME provisions of FCC Regulations over our PUBLIC AIRWAVES RADIO TELEVISION, forfeited to rupert murdoch and several other politically-minded private broadcasters using our property to their private advantage... I don't know why they did that, only that it has to be undone, soon.

Rush: "I don't think" . . .

MMfA, you could have just stopped right there.

he's actually saying that an american president doesn't care about a war effort. this is sick rhetoric. it's who can say the worst thing about president obama. it's a race to the bottom for beck, hannity, and limbaugh, and they're all winning because the media is dragging their opinions into the news.

The problem with TV coverage on Obama is that there are too many white pundits interviewed by white people. This interview by Chris Wallace is a prime example why so many liars and racist people go unchallenged on TV for saying outrageous, ridiculous and unfounded things.
I could have given a better more interesting interview than Chris Wallace.
Almost everything Rush said bore out of ignorance, stupidity and hate, which means most of what Rush said was nonsense. For example: Why didn't Chris defend the President of the United States when Rush said Obama is a radical and he don't really care about the American troops fighting the war in afghanistan? And why didn't Chris ask Rush to tell the world why he would vote Palin for President? Rush had the nerve to say Sarah Palin is ready to be President of the United States. Who on earth with an once of brain thinks Palin is ready to be President? Such a statement should have follow up questions, like did you actually watch Palin campaign during the 2009 election? Now tell us what makes you think Sarah Palin is qualified to be commander and chief? Hell, I want to know what kind of idiotic answer would Rush give.
The President is black, why don't we see a more diverse perspective and opinions on TV? Opinions and perspectives that would be fair and balanced.
White people will let other white people get away without really being challenged (for the most part), unlike real inteligent black people (not uncle-toms) who knows BS when they see it.

I wonder if he thinks Bush cared about Afghanistan? He's the one who ignored it for 5 years.

this phoney attacks on Obama is absurb,,Bush never once along with mr 5 deferment chenyey visit dover and bush set the policy of not showing the caskets of fallen soldiers returning home so as to not remind the american people that he had sent our brave young men and women mostly who, i might add are black latino and poor whites to fight in his unjust war..so the chicken hawks such as rush and the rest of the bought and paid for staff at foxnoise it certainly not news can all beat their chests as if they or anyone they loved would have to be sent into harms way,,why doesnt the main stream media call fox out for what it truly is and the anchors who work for fox,,,the only person on fox with any semblance of fairness is shepard smith and i think he will soon be let go if he doesnt sell out and become a Obama basher like the rest of that circus over there
