O.K. For Obama to Laugh At Jokes About Torturing Rush Limbaugh and His Kidney’s Failing?

Just a quick question for my weird curiosity, folks. Who was the lady sitting between the ‘comedian’ and O’Bama? She looked very uncomfortable, and I thought she actually went pale at one point when the ‘comedian’ just went too far.

Great comments above, Thanks everyone for you insights.

@GaffaUK: You repeat some socialist shibboleth about Rush Limbaugh then demand CURT prove his assertion with a level of documentation you yourself are unable to provide? SHAME ON YOU!

@Real American Patriot: So please point to me the times Ann Coulter has hosted this White House event?

Is that you understand the importance of the question I am asking and are ignoring it or that you are too stupid figure out the importance?

@OLDONE: NO PROBLEM WITH ALL CAPS. WELCOME!

@Joanne: Over at the Huffington Post where they are still patting themselves on the back that this dinner went off without a knife fight in the lobby they identified the woman as Jennifer Loven, president of the Correspondents’ Association and a writer for AP.

@Real American Patriot: If you don’t respond to my question I am going to delete further irrelevant comments from you.

I could sit here alllll the day long and repeat what nasty hateful things Democrats have said about Republicans over the years but that is not the point and you know it.

Either answer my question or prepare for the wrath of Mike.

@Mike

Re-read my post again. Firstly I didn’t demand, secondly I didn’t ask him to prove it. That’s what you read into it. I merely asked him where the video was – as I’m curious to see – as context is everything e.g. did Limbaugh laugh or did he immediately realise it was a mistake – if it indeed was a mistake.

btw – still waiting to see what you thought of McCain’s ‘joke’ about Chelsea. Was that beyond the pale?

I haven’t found any notable jibes from recognised right-wing commentators about Sasha & Malia – and let hope it stays that way during the next four years. Did Bush’s daughters get any particular flack from notable left-wingers.

Finally with the post about Pelosi & Reid getting shot – it seems you were the only one who thought that it was inappropriate. Kudos.

@Mike

Yes I remember that – but I don’t remember Democrat Senators making jokes about in front of rallies. As for McCain – yes I guess you don’t care as that would blow apart the argument that somehow the Right refrains from going over the line. And is the guy you voted for? lol

@Aye

Limbaugh engages on the issues and the policies, not on a personal, hurtful level.

Yeah right….

Tell me how saying that Michael J Fox “is exaggerating the effects of the disease,” is not personal or hurtful?

or as you say – thanks for playing;)

Real American Patriot said; “What it proves is the left has effective watch dogs that you don’t like.”

Their watch dogs are anything but effective. The left’s watchdogs claimed there were no Al Qaeda links to Ba’ath members prior to the 2003 Iraq Invasion, they were wrong. Even Harry Reid admitted this after having led investigations in the senate on this matter.

They claimed the Ba’aths didn’t violate any provisions of the Cease Fire Agreement from the first Gulf War, they were wrong. Not allowing inspectors into their facilities and shooting projectiles at neighboring countries and jets enforcing the Cease Fire agreement’s no fly zone policy violated the agreement. The agreement made it clear that the United States, and Britain (France also, before they pulled out of the agreement) can and will take Saddam out if he didn’t cooperate at the time of their choosing.

The Cease Fire was sanctioned by the United Nations making it international law. The U.N. is a treaty based organization, and every country participating signs a treaty agreeing to do it’s part including enforcing Cease Fire agreements which the organization sanctions that country to enforce.

Not enforcing the Cease Fire agreement and failing to remove Saddam from power would be illegal, because in the Supremacy Clause (Article VI, Paragraph II) of the Constitution it says; “This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the contrary notwithstanding.”

In short, to not enforce the Cease Fire like the U.N. sanctioned the U.S., and Britain (and back then France) to and not remove Saddam’s Ba’ath party from power when it was violating the agreement would be violating the treaty we have with the U.N., and ultimately the Supremacy Clause. So in addition to the claim that the Ba’ath party didn’t violate Cease Fire agreements being false, it is also false that claiming the removal of Saddam militarily was illegal.

Back to the left’s counterproductive watchdogs.They claimed that people who supported the removal of the Ba’ath party from power in Iraq manipulated intel and ultimately playing with public emotions in regards to this matter, they were wrong. Every investigation and shred of evidence now debunks this notion in; the Congress who investigated this matter, in the Fact Check political organization which is the final arbiter on political matters, and the intel agencies who participated in these Congressional investigations.

These watch dogs of which you speak are not affective. Their watch is about as affective as a water buffalo taking a sip at the water hole when a crocodile is about to make it prey. Sadly, more than half of my beloved countrymen were like this water buffalo in the November 2008 primary elections.

@Curt: I see you are picking up some of Mata’s habits.

But don’t sweat it. I think we learned a few things in the extended exchange.

I’ll tackle those lessons first with @GaffaUK who suggests that just because John McCain or some other GOP official made a rude joke that somehow whatever Democrats do is OK.

We’ve all seen this enabling attitude exhibited time and time again it’s getting a bit stale.

And I would remind those who constantly urge civility when GOP types make such comments that it doesn’t help their cause when they sit back and laugh, then excuse, similar or worse behavior.

And yes, Democrats have been MUCH more offensive. As I said, I have the files and I could put up countless examples. Remember DNC Chairman Howard Dean who said he “hates Republicans and everything they stand for” and said we were “evil?”

Then of course there were the slew of personal insults from Nazi Pelosi and Harry Reid directed at President Bush.

But somehow the lefties just wink and nod at all that and don’t mind it one bit. But as we learned with the Miss California fracas, if someone on our side says something that the left even disagrees with, they can be tarred and feathered.

And let’s not forget the hypocrisy of the left’s one way fingerpointing over ethics. Remember the “culture of corruption” meant to tar every Republican? And yet Nazi Pelosi is standing in the way of an ethics investigation of Congressman Murtha and Cong. Rangel still chairs the tax writing Ways and Means Committee even though he cheated on his taxes.

If Dems were really serious about ethics reform they would apply the same standard to their own members that they daily demand of Republicans.

The same goes for civility.

That is why I say that the libs flagellating their keyboards on this thread are ENABLERS for the very things they protest if a Republican does it.

In short, you can sum up their attitude in ONE WORD:

H Y P O C R I S Y !!!
