Both Limbaugh And Huckabee Call For Obama To Send His Family In For A TSA Pat Down

video
» 70 comments

As Reddit goes, so goes the Republican Party? Today both Rush Limbaugh and Mike Huckabee have gone on record as saying that President Obama should send his family through a TSA screening as a sign of good faith, which is the same thing a popular Internet campaign was saying last week. Who would have guessed that conservatives were actually getting their talking points from Reddit? Forget Sarah Palin. Lets look forward to Zach Anner in 2012!

Huckabee made the suggestion on his radio show and then echoed it on Fox & Friends:

“If he thinks this is an appropriate way for us to deal with security as he has defended, then I’ve said, ‘OK, Mr. Obama, take your wife, your two daughters and your mother-in-law to Washington Reagan National Airport and have them publicly go through both the body scanner and the full enhanced pat-down in front of others. And if it’s OK for your wife, your daughters, and your mother-in-law, then maybe the rest of us won’t feel so bad when our wives, our daughters and our mothers are being put through this humiliating and degrading, totally unconstitutional, intrusion of their privacy.’”

Meanwhile, on his radio show, Limbaugh compared it to Obama going swimming in the Gulf with his daughter after the oil spill to show that it was safe.

It will be interesting to see if any other opponents of the TSA measures join in on this call. It will also be interesting to see what Huckabee and Limbaugh’s opinions are on the new Elder Scrolls sequel. I mean, I’m sure they’re both psyched to return to the mythical land of Cyrodiil, right?

Check out the clip of Huckabee from Fox News below and the clip of Limbaugh below that:

    seems fair.

    I’d like to see his reaction to his daughters getting felt up and fondled by the eqivalent of a walmart greeter with a badge.

    Or, just a simple background check might suffice; you know, birth certificate…oh wait!
    LOL!
    ——————————————————————————————————————-

    This guy (Obama) proves himself more & more a JOKE of a “leader” with every passing day. He’s a conniving community organizer that’s proficient at reading teleprompters, and was annointed President by a fawning left-wing media.

    btw, how are those record Wall street bonuses doing, while the people that elected Obama continue to suffer?
    The Democrats are corrupt as they come.

    Hope & Change! – LMAO!

    are you sure about that? we didn’t start the groping until after the underwear bomber.

    we take our shoes off because of Richard Reid. We can’t carry liquids because of the liquid bomber guy in 2006. now we get our junk touched because of the panty raid bomber last year.

    With the holiday travel season fast approaching, recent stepped-up security screening at the nation’s airports has provoked an outcry from passengers and airline pilots alike, with some of the latter group even threatening to boycott intrusive new checks during the Thanksgiving rush.

    CBS News travel editor Peter Greenberg says, regardless of how many airline pilots chose not to pass through security to go to work, the additional security measures are likely to cause longer lines and delays as Americans head off to see their loved ones this holiday season.

    The new measures include a new type of walk-through scanning machine which uses very low doses of x-rays to scan travelers’ front and back, creating what many have called a “naked” image.

    In addition, Transportation Security Agency agents are now allowed to conduct a very detailed, very personal, body search of passengers who refuse to pass through the new scanners. The agents are allowed to use fingers and the palms of their hands to feel around breasts and genitalia.

    A growing number of people, including the 11,500-member Allied Pilots Association, brand these new searches humiliating. The pilots’ union has dubbed the new measures a “virtual strip search” and a “grope.”

    The new personal searches, which the TSA calls “enhanced patdowns,” came into effect in late October.

    Rush went through the line at least three times without complaining.

  • sarainitaly

    The Department of Homeland Security began working on the new security measures after the failed Christmas Day bombing attempt last year. He said the stepped-up searches were implemented after covert testers from the Government Accountability Office and TSA were able to get contraband past airport screeners.

    I don’t see how you made that connection. Maybe Huckabee and Limbaugh groping each other is something to be mocked because of their general physical hideousness, and not because of their gender?

    (Mike Huckabee isn’t that bad looking for his age, actually. His lazy eye is a little weird, though.)

    What a bunch of hypocrites! You damned cowards would refuse to sacrifice one thing during a time of war or crisis. Your parents/grandparents sacrificed a helluva lot during WWII. Not you guys. Planes hijacked by terrorists and flown into buildings are not enough for you to sacrifice. You damned hypocritical cowards! Sacrificing for your country is beneath you bums.

    I want to see the oBam fam go through the scanners. There is no TSA person out there that would pat more than Bams shoe. They would be far to terrified of losing their jobs (will happen anyhow–look who’s in charge). Let’s seem the get scanned. Let’s see those scans go viral on the internet. Well, I guess that wouldn’t happen either. Some things aren’t worth keeping.

    Lolwut? I don’t think so.

    Transportation Security Administration chief John Pistole said Monday that he disregarded internal advice and decided not tell the public in advance about aggressive new screening and pat-down procedures for airline passengers, fearing terrorists could try to exploit the information.

    In an hour-long discussion with reporters, Pistole said media officials at the Department of Homeland Security had urged him to “get out ahead” of the potential controversy by formally announcing plans for enhanced body searches and the use of new X-ray and radio-wave imaging devices at 70 airports beginning in November.

    Bush is not currently the President, right?

    Sacrifice does not involve having my children groped by government agents. But like every guy who’s served, I too have bent over in a line of naked men and had the government inspect my asshole as well as my balls. Where are you getting your information?

  • greg454

    I’m glad Rush Limbaugh is reminding the people that we elected a PUBLIC SERVANT, not a King, not a Lord, not a God. So yes, I’d like to see them undergo the TSA experience.

    “What a bunch of hypocrites! You damned cowards would refuse to sacrifice one thing during a time of war or crisis. Your parents/grandparents sacrificed a helluva lot during WWII. Not you guys”

    —They did because their president was a fascist that jailed people for having politically incorrect views, like being against the war or being Japanese.

    Besides, when was the last time a white person tried to blow up a plane? We should be profiling young Muslim males and leave the rest of us alone.

    RUSH also said this”

    Limbaugh said: “The imposter got into the equivalent of the White House in Afghanistan. Did they not ask this guy for some kind of identification? They clearly didn’t. They clearly didn’t ask this guy for his birth certificate. How in the world could they trust in a leader and even give money to somebody who has not been properly vetted? Well, because it happened here in the United States. We have an imposter for all intents and purposes serving in the White House.”

    Note to Obama: you’ll never please the crazy-cons. Don’t even try.

    First Huckabee and Limbaugh should be another Abbott and Costello act they were made for each other. Second you same whiners regarding airport pad downs and scanners are going to be the first in line to whine and say we didn’t do enough when some nut case bring down an airplane. Simple answer for you whiners, Don’t fly if you don’t like it!!!! Last I heard you will not get a pad down or scanned if you jump in your own car. I fly about 100,000 miles a year and I’m dam glad we are being proactive and not reactive.

    I see your point. I was just saying that before they insist someone else do it, and before they make a big issue of it, go do it. I just watched.

    I looked it up and there are two major companies as well as others. I think it’s another case of a story being made into a bigger issue than it is. The scanners were made and bought for security reasons probably without anticipating what the public response would be. Somebody smart might have ordered just a few and done a test use before a large commitment.

    Truth, whether I fly once a month, or three times a week or even once a year, has nothing to do with the fiasco at the airports. As a matter of fact if I had to fly weekly for business I would be even more irritated and demanding.

    The truth of the matter is if the crazies want to kill anyone and themselves there is very little anyone can do to stop them.

    Also while they are searching for bombs in the underwear of children and old people in American, need you be reminded that the underwear bomber, who attempted to detonate explosives, was on an airplane en route from Amsterdam to Detroit.

    The most guarded check point at the airports should be the point of entry from the exterior of America not necessary so intensive on the interior flying of its citizens.

I spend a lot of time in airports both domestic and international and the media have made more out of this that really exist. I have not seen anything like you are describing. However, if that what it takes to keep our planes safe I would much rather error on the side of caution. The harder we make it for these nuts the better off we all are.
