Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity Loving on O’Donnell
This afternoon Sean Hannity and Rush Limbaugh poured barrels of wingnut love on O’Donnell. Everyone is hating on Castle FOR SMEARING poor little Christine. You simply have to listen to the 12 minute Hannity interview.
The Mike Castle race in Delaware has become a focal point of controversy. His opponent is O’Donnell. A lot of conservatives are dumping on her for — I mean, it’s almost universal. The inside-the-Beltway conservative media dumping all over her, despite the fact that Mike Castle is proud as a member of Congress to have voted for 99% of the Obama agenda. He voted for the stimulus, and the people are saying, “Well, we need to get control of the Senate, Rush, and if it’s gonna take a guy like Mike Castle in Delaware to get control of the Senate, then we’re going to have to go for that, we’re going to have to do it.” Mike Castle gives us 51 votes, then we’re in there. In there with what?
I mean, I don’t know. I think a lot of people have become party people here, rather than conservatives, and are somehow imagining that just getting hold of their chairmanships is the objective here, rather than reversing course. I mean, the overriding concern ought to be defeating liberals wherever they are and however it’s done. There’s no contest here: Obama and the left have to go, they have to be defeated. The Republican Party does not need to be propped up first and foremost; Obama’s gotta go. The left has to go.
Castle is shitting himself. If this allows Princess Sarah Palin make a move, he might win by a mere 10% and when he survives this primary he is going to be the most hated Republican in the country.
I am dumbfounded at what a bunch of suckers and dupes the national wingnuts are. This is the party you created all you “normal” Republicans. The chickens are home bitches.
LOL. The thumbnail daVinci strikes again.
Celia Cohen endorses Castle.
Interesting additional tidbit from the Rush transcript:
RUSH: Ever since I got back into town over the weekend, and I guess starting on Monday in my e-mail, I have received notes from friends of mine lobbying me against this O’Donnell woman in Delaware. It doesn’t matter the names. (interruption) No. I don’t mean people asking what I think. I’m talking about people who are telling me what I should say. “Rush, she’s even worse. There’s going to be stuff coming out that you don’t even know. Stay away from this. It’s just horrible. It’s more important to take the Biden seat.” So I got curious. I got friends of mine telling me to stay away from it or if I get into it, to ram this woman O’Donnell because she’s got all this baggage, and I said, “Well, who doesn’t have baggage?” And that’s when I started to think, “Well, what if it’s you instead of her, or you instead of Sarah Palin?” What if you run? You care as much about the country as they do. What if you decide to run; they’re going to say the same thing about you. Does that mean you’re disqualified? And it kind of hits close to home.
That’s the conservatives-as-victims mythology all over again. Every “attack” against Christine just plants her supporters’ feet even further in the quick-set cement. They’re not budging.
