Limbaugh: So Many Versions Of Bin Laden Raid Means Obama Is Hiding Something

Video
» 100 comments

Rush Limbaugh started off humorously enough before using President Obama‘s success in killing Osama bin Laden as a crucial part of Rush’s large and strange mosaic establishing Obama as someone who “has to hide who he is and what he’s doing.” Far from the most transparent President ever, Rush believes Obama is perpetually pursuing a secret agenda. It makes you wonder is now really the time Rush expects anyone to hop aboard this crazy train?

Rush suggested, “if your spouse has three different versions of a night out with the girls, she’s hiding something, right?” From there, Rush said the Obama administration is so determined not to say Obama ordered an assassination that they keep coming up with “contorted versions of self-defense.” As it becomes less clear whether there actually was a “firefight” or whether Bin Laden was completely defenseless, Rush is accurate to recognize it is a little troublesome why all administration officials can’t get the story straight and stick to it. However, for Rush to use this miscommunication as a launching pad for suggesting Obama truly is a member of the radical Left is just bizarre.

Rush’s diatribe:

“He ordered an assassination and he can’t say it. He put us on a path to socialized medicine and he can’t say it. The stimulus bill was a slush fund for public sector unions, he can’t say it. EPA regulations are backdoor cap-and-tax, he can’t say it. He’s a card-carrying member of the radical Left, he can’t say it. He has a leftist-inspired prejudice against the private sector, he can’t say it. Bill Ayers was his good friend, he can’t say it. He listened to every word in Jeremiah Wright’s church for twenty years, he can’t say it. And he has a real problem with Israel, but he can’t say it.”

Rush is right that it’s worth worrying if Obama secretly believes most of the things on that list. However, Obama ordering the killing of Bin Laden and being hesitant to say it, not only doesn’t belong in the same category, but should be cheered rather than ridiculed by Rush. Who cares what Obama says to humor a naive base, serious Republicans should be more concerned (and pleased) with how Obama acts, and the fact is Obama has shown the terrorists no mercy.

Rush (and any other conservative critics of Obama’s handling of Bin Laden) blew a huge opportunity here to establish some credibility with moderates moving forward. Most Americans will continue to be appreciative of Obama for ordering the mission that killed Bin Laden, and no matter how Obama did it or what he says about it, it doesn’t change the most important and satisfying fact: Bin Laden is dead. Now if you want to debate whether the America that Obama has undisputedly kept safe is turning into a bankrupt country, full of incentive-killing socialist programs, well on those issues Rush, we are all ears.

    The degree to which the administration has handled the afternath of this political victory is staggering. They are literally snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. How his minions think he’s a master politician is beyond me.

  • TeaPartyPatriot

    Okay, what do we have here:

    1) There was a firefight.
    2) There was no firefight.
    3) Bin Laden was “resisting.”
    4) Bin Laden wasn’t armed. (Makes the concept of “resisting” interesting.)
    5) He used his wife as a shield.
    6) His wife was killed too.
    7) He didn’t use his wife as a shield. She ran at a SEAL who shot her in the leg, but she’s fine.
    8 ) Some other woman — the maid? — was used as a shield. By somebody. Downstairs.
    9) That other woman — downstairs — was killed.
    10) Maybe not. She was killed unless she wasn’t — and who was she, anyway?
    11) Bin Laden’s son was killed.
    12) Unless it was some other guy.
    13) Bin Laden’s daughter saw him get killed. She’s undoubtedly traumatized, poor dear.
    14) They were going to capture Bin Laden until the problem with the helicopter, which was:

    A) It had mechanical trouble
    B) It did a hard landing
    C) It crashed
    D) It clipped a wall with a tail rotor, effectively a crash

    15.) They were never going to try to capture him; it was always a kill mission.
    16.) No, it wasn’t.
    17) The chopper blew up.
    18) The SEALs blew it up.
    19.) Panetta said yesterday the world needed proof and the photo would be released.
    20.) Obama said today in an interview he taped with Steve Kroft for “60 Minutes” to be broadcast Sunday that it won’t be released. It’s too gruesome, would offend Muslim sensibilities (something he worries about a lot — I personally do not give a warm fart on a wet Wednesday about Muslim sensibilities), and how would Americans feel if Muslims released pictures of dead Americans?
    21.) Kroft — who’s not a total idiot — pointed out that ever since “Black Hawk Down” days, Muslims have been doing precisely that, filming American bodies being dragged through the streets, filming Daniel Pearl’s head being cut off, filming any and everything.
    22) Obama gets pissed at CBS, the tape gets cleaned up, that question disappears. (Inside info.)
    23.) We got a “treasure trove” of stuff from hard drives, etc.
    24.) There were no phone lines, and no internet access at the “mansion,” they didn’t even have TV — what “treasure trove?”
    25.) There is obviously in the pictures of the place a large satellite dish. I guess they used it for making salads.
    26.) And now, just today: apparently the idea was to capture him, but only if he was naked.26.) And now, just today: apparently the idea was to capture him, but only if he was naked. There was a suspicion he might be wearing a suicide bomber type explosive vest, or belt. So if he’s not naked and you can’t see if he has a vest on or not – shoot him.

    The idiot Carney — they actually managed to find someone who makes Gibbs look good — is currently twisting himself into knots trying to explain why the photograph that the whole world was expecting isn’t going to be released. (Obviously the thing to do is get Trump on the case, he’ll force Obama to release it.)

    The military did great, the administration — or whatever that bunch is, kind of like “The Little Rascals” — have managed to turn it into spaghetti. The story has changed so many times in the course of a mere three days it’s a joke — the world would be better off if Panetta had left the little sh*tw*t on the golf course.

    First off: Obama didn’t kiill Bin Laden; yes her ordered a mission to have him killed, all the while prosecuting the CIA agents who water boarded the critical intel out of KSM (go figure that one; lefties support killing but not water boarding!!!).

    Second off: there have been too many versions of this story; as the Canadian press noted, Obama wasn’t so smart in telling everyone OBL was dead right away; he didn’t capitalizeon the intelligence the SEALS were getting from completing their mission; nope…hehimself had to jump on television and claim he killed OBL; that he is the best and brightest.

    Todd Beamer’s dad has it right: hehimself is making this all about hehimself when it is not and should not be about hehimself. Burlingame clams hehimself walked away from her request to cease and desist theprosecution of the CIA guys who got the very intel that resulted in the capture and kill of OBL.

    The media is as usual, compliant and complacent when it comes to anything hehimself asks them to do; they are out there praising him, not asking him any hard questions, and keeping himup on that pedestal they built from him before he was elected.

    I just heard Sean talking to a woman named Debra. I was working so I didn’t get her last name, but I think she had a brother killed on 9/11. She was at the photo op today and was able to talk to Obama briefly. She asked him that in light of the good work the CIA did gaining the intel used to find Bin Laden, if Obama didn’t think it would be appropriate to ask Holder to stop his witchhunt against CIA agents. He told her that no, he wouldn’t do that. Nice!!

    There are two versions of what happened:
    1) what really happened.
    2) what the Right is claiming happened so they can denigrate Obama.

    The smoke won’t clear on this for weeks, if not months. We don’t even know definitively who killed JFK 45 years ago and you can’t even remember where you left your car keys this morning. There are going to be conflicting reports. But in the 24/7 world of the internet, unless we know everything right now this moment so you can blog about it, there must be a cover-up.

    Obama gave the order, the SEALS carried it out flawlessly and bin Laden is under water. The tea-baggers, the Taliban and other friends of al-qaeda are not happy about it as you can see from the bagger comments. The blather from Limbaugh come from the asshole of America who just happens to be a draft dodger.

  • btimsah

    If President Bush had handled Bin Laden’s capture/assasination like this, can you imagine the outcry from the media? I’m not a fan of Bush, Obama or McCain or most politicians. I’m a fringe kook libertarian.

    But the way they’ve handled this has been a total disaster. It’s also not as important as people make it. But with the way they did this, it makes one wonder – did they really kill Bin Laden? I say this because many people in the Middle East did not actually believe he existed. That he was a ghost. And sure enough, we killed someone and apperently quickly threw their body in the ocean never to be found.

    So how do we know they actually killed Osama Bin Laden? Just trust them? I won’t trust anyone from the Government. I’m glad the boogeyman is gone though. Even if that boogeyman was a ghost.

    I know a lot of you big government crack whore statists will act like I’m somehow dangerous, meanwhile your president could assassinate you if he wanted. But go ahead and worry about the threat of “conspiracy” while your government becomes more and more tyrannical. Typical statists being stupid.

    I disagree with Rush. I don’t assume Obama has anything to hide here. But he does look a bit confused, no? In all honesty, how difficult can it be to come up with a semi-coherent and consistent account of a 40 minute military operation? Thank goodness the Navy Seals were more organized than the people in the Obama administration telling the story after-the-fact!

  • “Real” American

    I reckon Obama is a little surprised that the Raving Righties are suddenly all upset that Osama is kaput. I guess he thought, like the majority of Americans, that everyone would be on board with killing OBL, even if we had to step on the toes of a putative ally. Boy he was wrong. Now that the Raving Righties don’t have OBL to kick around anymore, they seem to blame Obama for killing him. Now Flash Gutbo has “weighed” in and begun second guessing Obama. Gutbo, who has never had a job more demanding than windbag, has appointed himself Inquisitor-in-Chief of Operation Geronimo.

    I look forward to seeing the Gutbo Report. I am sure the Senior Windbag could have done it better….

    You will have your chance to cast your vote in 2012. Maybe you would like to start making plans to move to a non-socialist country (lol) as some of my friends claim they will do when Obama wins a second term.

    Amazing isn’t it ?? Rush Limbaugh and the wingnut republicans like you asswipes that post here are in 100% agreement with the Taliban on the Bin Laden situation….great position to be in isn’t it conservaturds???….you racists hate President Obama so much you’ve climbed into bed with Americas enemies…guess what that makes you???…future detainees that’s what…..finally your crocodile mouths have overloaded your hummingbird asses…the pressure to hate has now exploded in your faces just like what happens when Rush yanks, screams and releases…..SPLASH…….FOX NEWS and even shep smith and neil cuvuto are scrambling to change their tunes now….peter king is even taking sides with the president….you can only take this anti-amercan bullshit so far repukes, then the backlash comes…..Obama is kicking you freaks right in your collective asses…say goodbye to any hopes of taking your country back b4 2016….may i suggest you just return to the woods and resume regularly scheduled cross burning activities and leave politics alone….youre not nearly smart enough to compete dumbasses

    Then Senator Obama demanded the gitmo pictures be released that were inflammatory to the Muslim world and brought unnecessary danger to our troops but now he is concerned about releasing the Osama picture for the same reasons?

    You do realize that ultimately President Obama opposed releasing those photos, right?

    Ohh thats right, Bush was President then and he wanted to shame him…

    I honestly cannot think of anyone I despise more than Obama!! He is a disgrace to this Country!

    This is rather sad coming from a fellow that obviously does not spend a lot of time thinking.

    Well at least this obese clown isn’t hiding his lunacy.

  • skyfet

    Rush Limbaugh is a drug addict, but he cant say it.

    Maybe his ex-wives cheated on him the way he described the situation, but he can’t say it.

In all honesty, how difficult can it be to come up with a semi-coherent and consistent account of a 40 minute military operation? Thank goodness the Navy Seals were more organized than the people in the Obama administration telling the story after-the-fact!

    can you right wing baggers give it a rest..who gives a damn about how it happened –HE IS DEAD…..move on. take your head out of RUSH LIMPPBALLS ass for a while and breathe

    You will have your chance to cast your vote in 2012. Maybe you would like to start making plans to move to a non-socialist country (lol) as some of my friends claim they will do when Obama wins a second term. To that end, I have been searching for a place for them and the only non-socialist (wink wink) non communist (lol) country I have found is Ghana. Look into it.

    maybe they should move to COSTA RICA with Rush…oh wait ..Limpballs hasnt moved yet like he said he would lol

    You obviously nor has Rush been anywhere close to combat. You are running on pure adrenaline and attempting to piece together 40 minutes is very difficult. That is why they have debriefings to give you time collect the actions of the mission. Everyone of the team members have an assigned task so putting together all members events are not easy. The only people who new exactly what went down were the Seals. Of course the public can not wait a week to get all the details they have to have know them now! So of course things will change as memories of the action taken start to come back to you.

    I pay no attention to Rush Limbaugh. But I do pay attention to statements coming out of the White House. And I repeat: how hard is it to come up with a coherent and consistent account of a 40 minute military operation? I applaud the Navy Seals for their fine work, and give the President credit for giving the order. But they are totally bungling the follow-up in D.C., and thus limiting the benefit of this important breakthrough in the war against terror.

    Very hard. The “bungling” you talk about is neither here nor there in the big picture.

    That’s an outstanding debate technique, to tell your opponents what they think and what they feel, as if you have some idea of what that is. Does your Messiah bless you with these psychic powers? Does he require that you give him a Lewinsky first, or are you just happy to make that offering?

    More importantly…are there any truths in what he says.

    The whole damned raid was filmed, and this dufus administration can’t get it right. The morons sat there and watched the attack, and they can’t get it right? Obviously, asking Obimbo or any of his butt-kissing posse is a waist of time. We will not get the true account until the brave soldiers who carried out the raid, using intelligence acquired during the Bush administration, are debriefed. And then, only if that information is allowed out without this worthless administration spinning it!

    I heard that when the soldiers were busting into bin Laden’s compound, guns poised in the pitch black, trying to find and kill the most wanted man on Earth, possibly a dozen armed terrorists waiting for them, as the bullets started flying and the blood starting flowing and the screaming and chaos grew, they stopped everything and ordered, “Let’s remember to get our story 100% straight, people! CAconservative wants a clean, airtight report within 24 hours or he’ll log into mediaite and be mad.”

  • insideguy

    I do find it ironic that not one of these right wing- pro military talk show host has ever been anywhere near the military. Limbaugh,Beck,Levin, Hannity, Ingramn,Savage,Medved, Ronald Reagan Jr, Borts or however u spell that guys name. On and on I wonder why that is.
