Blaming Rush for "GOP Waterloo"

A single defeat, by just a few votes, does not a “Waterloo” make. And Rush is not to blame. His rhetoric nearly caused a “Waterloo” for Obama. It’s not a “Waterloo” unless you’re basing your personal future on it. “Looking at the state of both parties after President Obama’s health bill win in the House, ABC’s Terry Moran elevated the view of ‘prominent conservative’ David Frum [NOT a conservative -RT], author a year ago of Newsweek’s ‘Why Rush is Wrong’ cover story, who blamed Rush Limbaugh and Fox News for what he’s dubbed the GOP’s ‘Waterloo.’ On Nightline, Moran contended ‘anger, stoking it, expressing it, riding it...was the Republican strategy to defeat health care. And over the weekend all that anger got ugly, as some Democratic Members of Congress were called vial (sic), racial and anti-gay slurs’.” (ABC’s Terry Moran) But I’d bet those racial and anti-gay slurs were hurled by liberals, so they could blame them on conservatives. But you don’t have to be a conservative to be against Obama’s health care swindle. You only have to be somewhat intelligent, as the people who wrote this are apparently not, if they can’t spell a simple four-letter word like “vile.” (Media Research Center)
