Apparently 17 doesn't see the parallel between that statement and just cut and pasting huge blocks of text verbatim from his favorite right wing blogs.

When are you liberals ever going to see and admit the blatant double standard? First, we find the poll from 2006 that 51% of Democrats wished for Bush to fail. Now we find yet another story buried by the protectionist media that the bald headed weasle Carville told the press he wanted Bush to fail the morning of 9/11 right before the terror attacks. When will the light bulb go off that the moral high ground is not held by these leeches?


Flashback: Carville Wanted Bush to Fail
-Bill Sammon

quote:
The press never reported that Democratic strategist James Carville said he wanted President Bush to fail before the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. But a feeding frenzy ensued when radio host Rush Limbaugh recently said he wanted President Obama to fail.

On the morning of Sept. 11, 2001, just minutes before learning of the terrorist attacks on America, Democratic strategist James Carville was hoping for President Bush to fail, telling a group of Washington reporters: "I certainly hope he doesn't succeed."

Carville was joined by Democratic pollster Stanley Greenberg, who seemed encouraged by a survey he had just completed that revealed public misgivings about the newly minted president.

"We rush into these focus groups with these doubts that people have about him, and I'm wanting them to turn against him," Greenberg admitted.

The pollster added with a chuckle of disbelief: "They don't want him to fail. I mean, they think it matters if the president of the United States fails."

Minutes later, as news of the terrorist attacks reached the hotel conference room where the Democrats were having breakfast with the reporters, Carville announced: "Disregard everything we just said! This changes everything!"

The press followed Carville's orders, never reporting his or Greenberg's desire for Bush to fail. The omission was understandable at first, as reporters were consumed with chronicling the new war on terror. But months and even years later, the mainstream media chose to never resurrect those controversial sentiments, voiced by the Democratic Party's top strategists, that Bush should fail.

That omission stands in stark contrast to the feeding frenzy that ensued when radio host Rush Limbaugh recently said he wanted President Obama to fail. The press devoted wall-to-wall coverage to the remark, suggesting that Limbaugh and, by extension, conservative Republicans, were unpatriotic.

"The most influential Republican in the United States today, Mr. Rush Limbaugh, said he did not want President Obama to succeed," Carville railed on CNN recently. "He is the daddy of this Republican Congress."

Limbaugh, a staunch conservative, emphasized that he is rooting for the failure of Obama's liberal policies.

"The difference between Carville and his ilk and me is that I care about what happens to my country," Limbaugh told Fox on Wednesday. "I am not saying what I say for political advantage. I oppose actions, such as Obama's socialist agenda, that hurt my country.

"I deal in principles, not polls," Limbaugh added. "Carville and people like him live and breathe political exploitation. This is all a game to them. It's not a game to me. I am concerned about the well-being and survival of our nation. When has Carville ever advocated anything that would benefit the country at the expense of his party?"

Carville told Politico that focusing on Limbaugh is a deliberate strategy aimed at undermining Republicans.

"The television cameras just can't stay away from him," he said. "Our strategy depends on him keeping talking, and I think we're going to succeed."

Greenberg added: "He's driving the Republican reluctance to deal with Obama, which Americans want."


hypocritical, filthy scumbags.

Speaking of hypocrisy...

quote:


Rep. Brad Sherman, a Democrat from California, has been a leading critic of his party leadership's response to the banking crisis. Over the past month, however, he's been aiming for a new target: Rush Limbaugh.

Except Rush won't play along. In early February, before Limbaugh had become the public face of the GOP, Sherman began making attempts to arrange a debate on Rush's popular radio show, his office said. When Sherman got no response, he sent Rush a letter.

"If you had any confidence in your position, you would agree to my request to have me on your show--where I'm sure I could demonstrate the merits of my views," he wrote.

"You are a coward," he assessed. "Very truly yours, Brad Sherman."

Limbaugh has yet to respond, said a spokesman for Sherman. Limbaugh's producer, Kit Carson, told the Huffington Post he hadn't seen the letter, but that he couldn't speak for Limbaugh. The radio talk-show host, who Democrats portray as the leader of the GOP, is taking the next two days off, said Carson, and will return Monday.

lol. im sure if carville had 20 million listeners tuned in to his radio show his comments might have received wider exposure.

im not quite sure what the relevance of 911 is here, was he meant to be another who should have foreseen the attacks?

And it should also be said that Carville is kind of an idiot too...

It's rediculous to think that Rush would publicly call for Obama to come on his radio show for a debate on the issues, but is too much of a "coward" to debate no-name democratic Rep. Brad Sherman. If he responded to every call for "debate" or every "outraged" elected official demanding answers, he wouldn't have time to take a piss. I'm sure he has no interest, if he's read the letter, to give Mr. Sherman a platform that has millions of people listening to elevate him as a martyr of his own cause. Pure political expediency on Mr. Sherman's part, and Rush won't take the bait.

At the time, he was the Democtats' leading political strategist and a bunch of reporters were there when he said it... should have been reported. But they didn't do their job after Carville asked them not to when the attacks went down that morning (which I guess is the relevance to 9/11 being mentioned).

Well, the point of his show is to debate issues, no? According to Rush, discussion of policy is what his show is all about... or is he afraid that debate won't leave much time for demagoguery?

That sounds very "fairness doctrinesque". If you listened to his show, you'd know that he takes calls every day from people trying to argue with him. He also has big name guests to discuss policy. But it's not about equal time; it's his show and decides the format. And again, why would he give some peon representative (who called him a coward) with political aspirations a huge platform to make a name for himself? It looks like he wants to ride the wave of "anti-Rush" sentiment to benefit himself, and Rush is right to ignore him.

So despite the fact that this is a Democrat who wants to debate substantive policy issues, and one that is not only a part of leadership on this issue, but also one that has taken exception to Pelosi's strategy on the stimulus, he somehow isn't relevant enough for Rush to "waste" time on?

The Rep called Rush a coward only after Rush ignored him for three weeks. And honestly, if Rush is going to use that line of thinking on the President of the United States, a person who has substantively more to do with his time than sit around and listen to a demagogue (you know, like MAKE policy), then he's fair game when he ignores the chance to debate someone with a substantive policy-related profile on the issue of his own choosing.
