Rush Limbaugh
Bush and New Media Win Huge Victory, Historical Shift Has Taken Place
Rush limbaugh
november 3, 2004
It's just -- I don't know. It was just incredible to watch all this unfold yesterday, and as a result, folks, there's an obvious temptation to gloat. ... I understand the desire to be jubilant, go ahead and be jubilant, but don't go nah-nah-nah-nah. Don't do it, don't descend to that level, Mr. Snerdley. You know, after these two years, look where we are, and look how we did not descend to their level in order to attack them and to beat 'em...Look at what we learned. Character counts.

"Did you see -- if we can believe it from the exit polls -- that the vast majority of people said that moral issues are most important? You ought to hear the liberals on that, folks, they are panicked, they don't understand this morality business."

Al Franken is right. Rush Limbaugh is a big fat idiot. He's also a documented racist and drug addict. What amazes us is that he has a show, and an audience, and that his opinions are taken seriously by anyone at all. Our mission is clear. We must present a compelling and honest alternative - and drown out these venal lies with the truth.

MYTHS AND ASSUMPTIONS: REALITY
"This was a huge, huge sweep.... The most votes ever for a president, including Ronald Reagan , George W. Bush last night." Bush appears to have won by 3%. By comparison, Clinton beat Dole by almost 9%, and Nixon swept McGovern by 23%. Three percent is better, however, than negative half a point, Bush's 2000 margin. Josh Marshall has more.
"We are not divided. The people divided in this country are the elites on both coasts and the media, they are the ones divided from the rest of the country." So, all 54 million-odd Kerry voters are elites? And they don't count as Americans?
The exit polls were out to get Bush. "Do you realize all across this country, people had decided this election was over before one vote had been counted, on the basis of what I am convinced were fraudulently collected and fraudulently reported exit polls? I don't believe this was an accident." Because of their reliability and accuracy, exit polls are often used by international monitors when corruption is suspected. Makes you wonder...
Liberals have no morals. "I think one of the central lines of demarcation between left and right in this country has been the utter... How do I put this? The desire on the part of many on the left that there be no common morality.... They don't want to feel any guilt about what they do and having a definite moral code or a morality -- which of course, the Ten Commandments is the root of our morality, or one of them -- you got a problem because people just don't want to have that imposed on them, to be free to ignore it." This is patently absurd and offensive. One might look at deeds rather than bluster: robbing from the poor to give to the rich? The killing, the senseless war? The throwing of stones? We on the left enjoy being lectured on our morals by a draft dodging, drug addled racist. This is the guy who said that Donovan McNabb was only considered a good quarterback because he's black, and Abu Ghraib was only some MP's blowing off steam. We think Al Franken's right again about this guy.
Bush clearly won this election. On an insidious campaign based on character assassination and disinformation.  They mobilized more voters than we did. That doesn't mean that there exists and sweeping mandate or broad based coalition for his disastrous war, and insane agenda that he is about to ram down our throats. We all knew the wingnuts would over reach in their gloating. Limbaugh proves this in his graceless gloating.

What amazes us is that he has a show, and an audience, and that his opinions are taken seriously by anyone at all. Our mission is clear.
