Exclusive: White House Mocks Rush Limbaugh’s Bus Tour Conspiracy Theory

Exclusive
» 190 comments

Earlier today, conservative radio giant Rush Limbaugh promoted a bizarre conspiracy theory about President Obama‘s mid-August Midwest bus tour, saying that the whole thing was faked, and that the President didn’t actually ride the buses, but had them flown from stop to stop. Despite the sheer idiocy of the story, I reached out to the White House for comment. Press Secretary Jay Carney‘s response is unequivocal in its rebuttal of the story, and outright mockery of same.

The story is ludicrous on its face, as there was a throng of reporters along for the ride, filing stories from one of the buses, but since it was late in the day, I dashed off an email to Carney before I really had a chance to really read it. I don’t usually do this, but I don’t want anyone to think that I gave this story a second’s credence, so here’s what I wrote to Carney:

Jay,

there’s some idiocy bubbling up on the right that the President really didn’t ride the bus during his tour, and that the buses were flown from stop to stop. Do you have any background on how/when the buses were transported? Any reaction to this crap?

Carney’s reaction was pretty similar to mine:

Hmm. I THOUGHT we were driving when we on the bus. But maybe it was all an elaborate ruse. Maybe we were actually flying, and I didn’t realize it, and the things we saw out the bus windows — the cornfields and small towns and folks lining the streets waving American flags — were actually filmed images projected onto the inner walls of a C-17 cargo plane. Ah-ha!

We rode the bus the entire three days. Only flights were outbound from JBA to Minneapolis that Monday and return from Peoria on Wednesday.

If this story says anything, it’s that conservative conspiracy theorists need to learn to dream bigger. From faking the moon landing, we’ve come to this? Really?

    Mocking is in the Alinsky playbook . That’s all Obama has . Not Presidential in the least , but neither is King Obama .

    Don’t they have a jobs plan to slap together again this year ?

  • Chrisg

    Ya know, it might just be the sheer stupidity of you right wingers that causes us to mock…

    Not a nefarious alinsky tactic.  just the simple fact that you are soooooo incredibly mockable.

    Just saying.

    But you go along with the alinsky paranoia.

    It makes the mocking all the more fun!

  • Berserk1976

    Tommy in his email to Jay Carney has already decided that the story was “idiocy” and “crap”, so why is he bothering to peddle this story?

    damn youre an ignorant asshole….is changing the topic all you hobbits can do when you get called on your bullshit???…..anybody with a brain knows what limbaugh is doing….hes making a feeble attempt to defend sarah palin who IN FACT DID ride a private plane between cities on her 1 first bus tour….having the bus pick her up at various airports and take her on 10 minute rides to the rallies…that WINGNUT is a fact…..you dipwads need to start taking life seriously and knock off the bullcrap….you baggers suck….

    Uhmmm….please, do not argue with “(((((The Dumb))))!” Seriously. Especially when it comes to Lush Rimbaugh and his listeners, followers, regime members…whatever they want to be called now. No matter what President Obama does, they won’t like it.  Even if he turned water to wine, raised the dead, got rid of sickness and made peace all over the world simultaneously, they still wouldn’t like him!!! King Obama? Really? lmaaaooooo……..

    I read on wingnut daily that there is a twin. An evil twin.

    One bus went to Obama to use as a prop. The other bus went to a gNOpig.

    And of curse, er, of course, President Obama kept the evil bus for himself.

    He is trying to destroy America for Fux shakes.

    Yeah, big whoop!  The only thing his “bus tour” accomplished was giving him a record low approval rating.

    Once upon a time there were rational, civil people on the conservative Right interested in serious debate of the issues such as Bill Buckley and Ronald Reagan.The conservative movement desperately needs to rid itself of Beck, Limbaugh, and Fox News to gain not just respect, but prominence again.

    Very, very true, my friend. But, I wonder if you’ll long for the days of rational, civil people on the left, instead of Maddow, Schultz, Matthews and MSNBC. America would a lot better off without all those people, left and right, mucking up the airwaves with their filth.

    Well, I’m not “inbred” nor am I a “hillbilly” but I am a Tea Partier and I’ll proudly say Rush W. Bush Limbaugh ain’t “my” leader. By the way, he’s still on oxycontin? I didn’t know.

  • B W

    God forbid these idiots attack his policies. Obama’s approval would be even lower if the Right actually focused on the issues, instead of his birth certificate, religion, eating habits, etc.

  • B W

    Yeah, I go to Tea Parties, a lot, and Rush doesn’t speak for me. He peddles crap. I admit it. It’s too bad a real Conservative doesn’t get enough attention from the media like Limbaugh does.

  • Richie

    If it were up to me we would get rid of cable news and political talk radio altogether. I believe the 24 hours news cycle has been absolutely devastating for our politics. With that said, the level of hatred and vitriol that can manifest itself through conspiracy theories such as this one is significantly worse on the Right. Since the presidency of Obama the Right has become unhinged and out of control. I do agree with your premise though that America would be better off without these political commentators given such an enormous platform in our media.

    Big Eddie! Turn off the xm radio host wilkow manority you sound like a jackass! You idiots say stupid things then get angry when people make fun of it? Quick fact for you! Jobs have increased since Obama took office, compared to when the country was bleeding jobs under the last months of bush! Read a fucking book!

  • B W

    I wouldn’t get rid of cable news or talk radio, I’d just knock some sense into the bosses and hopefully, that’d make them hire more sensible people. The Right is just doing to Obama what the Left did to Bush endlessly, from 9/11 being an inside job, doing cocaine in the White House, Bush hates black people (and women, Hispanics, gays, and the elderly), Cheney secretly ran an “assassination ring” from inside the White House, etc. This crap has always been rampant from the out-of-power-party, but became rather prevalent since the Internet/blogosphere boom of the early 2000′s.

    Keep bashing Obamo and his Carney Barker pet sock. The strategy is simple to make these radical leftists boil in their own fat: Companies hoarding cash will start hiring in force once Obamo’s political life is destroyed. That will prove to everyone that Conservatism = Good and Lib-rul-ism = bad.

    Perpetual Republican majorities going forward…just like the DIM LIBS thought they’d enjoy when Their Boy Obamo parachuted in after having done nothing in life worthy of one book…never mind TWO.

  • Jayamerican1

    Hey dipshit. Continuing to ask this question is not going to change the fact that you and your hero obama are losers. Calling tea party people baggers and inbred will not make them go away. My observation of your comments and this idiot tommy christopher’s story is that right now it really sucks for anyone to have to admit they supported obama. This let’s you and that idiot christopher forget that you backed a loser So here it is. Rush was wrong on this. Go ahead and revel in it. It won’t change obama’s record of incompetence and failures nor will it change the perception that you were much wronger by backing this clown than Limbaugh was on this story. You have tour answer. Shut up and stop acting like a 2 year old trying to get attention.

  • guest

    So you cannot stay on this story. Your only defense is to mock another issue. Stay on the subject- Rush is just a plain old asshole. His constituents are too stupid to realize how he plays them. 
    As for the jobs, hard to create when obstruction is the key strategy of one party in a two party system..

    Notice you cant stay on the subject and just go to the lowest denominator. Amazing since you probably didnt complain when Bush was taking vacation days like they were M&Ms..He was the “best” President when it came to vacation time.

    The Lib Media has dozens of their own ‘Rush Limbaughs.’  For them to be ‘outraged’ (which they never really are—it’s all a big schtick) is laughable.

    Keep pouring it on, Rush. Bludgeon the Left; they richly deserve it for ruining this country.

  • Pearl

    Nah–probably not. If Fox News wasnt dedicated to being all things against Dems- I dont think Obama would have these negatives.
    I have no issue with disliking him, I have a problem with disliking everything he does. I cannot understand how anyone can just automatically oppose everything about a person. It is just illogical and ignorant. It doesnt matter if it is Bush, Reagan, Clinton,etc. no one can always be wrong..

    You inbred Leftist: Obamo had TWO years without this so-called ‘obstruction’ you and ‘Your People’ use as an excuse. The only obstruction has been Obamo himself, who’s utterly inept but is adored by his similarly inept ‘followers.’

    Obamo only wants to create ‘guv-mint’ jobs…everyone knows this to be true, and it is why we will so much enjoy the slow but intense political death Your Boy will suffer these next fifteen months.

    It certainly appears that Limbaugh got jobbed on this one. 

    What I interesting is that Mediate sure piled on the guy with two stories and a heavy dose of scorn and snark, and the comments range from “stupid” to “liar.”  However Maddow has not one but two instances where she made similar gaffes this year — reporting a bogus story on Palin, and saying Limbaugh made a birther the day before that was in fact a year old – and the contempt and accusations were not as severe.  She was given an “oopsie”, but Rush’s actions are contemptable.

    Hey shit for brains. Where did I say I was a tea party member and where did I say Rush was my hero. I think for myself. I speak for myself. I take care of myself and my family. I am not weak and look to the government to take care of me. I don’t hand over my future to some crooked union hack and let him negotiate for me and determine my success or advancement where I work. I do have balls, the balls to stand on my own two feet. I also understand that the nightmare of progressivism you and your fellow cowards seek to impose will never become a reality thankfully because the majority of the people in this country value freedom and the ability to run thier own lives without assholes like you controlling them. As I said above it must suck so bad for you losers to come to grips with the fact that there will be no resistribution of wealtth and no European style socialist policies. So go ahead and enjoy this little distraction. Obama’s approva or lack thereof will still be the same. The tea party folks kicked your ass in Nov, made fools of you in the debt debate and are just warming up for 2012.

    I actually did no such thing. I was pointing out how the interpretations of others seemed quite different, and you just proved it. Limbaugh thought he was repeating an AP story – and he should have checked into it better.  For that you referred to it as stupidity and a willingness to lie.  As I pointed out Maddow has as many instances, yet you referred to them as “mistakes”.  Two examples of the same action, two different interpretations.

  • Jayamerican1

    Dear Ms Mayhem (I assume it is Ms because of your fruity looking green symbol and very sweet demeanor  ), It is obvious we disagree on the effectiveness of Obama. His approval polls would indicate that most Americans agree including I might add a dramatic drop in the number of  African Americans supporting him. He has been described as being weak and ineffective and this is by left leaning jounalists. I really don’t need to continue this discussion. Let the approval polls continue the argument for me. I would suggest that the tea party was born in response to the hope and particullarly the change obama theatened us with. You see, MOST AMERICANS DO NOT WANT far left policies. The tea party is sort of like an immune response to an infection. Thankfully America has a very strong immune system and this infection will soon become just an unpleasant memory and America can heal from this disaster. You however will always be an ignorant pus sack waiting and whining for your vision of a country that if it ever did evolve as you wish, would be short lived and a prelude to our total destruction. Good luck in 2012. If you and your ilk do win we all lose.

    I don’t understand why rush limbaugh fans get so worked up when he’s exposed as a liar… I mean he’s in the middle of an eight year FOUR HUNDRED MILLION DOLLAR contract, do you guys really think that kind of money comes from discussing facts? Ha! It comes from being part of the politically motivated.character assination department of the conservative propaganda machine we’ve grown in this country. Think about it. Billionaires like Rupert murdoch cleaned up big time in the 755 BILLION dollar tax cut sweepstakes that the republicans pushed for and got in Cheyneys–err uh, Bush’s first term. Before the tax cuts we had a budget SURPLUS that Bush inherited from the Clinton administration. Well, three quarters of a trillion dollars over ten years plus almost a decade of expensive, high technology war, oh and also the hugely expensive funding for homeland security. All of this, including all incidental costs must be close to.half a trillion dollars a year. Now with a 500 billion dollar defecit we desperately need to find more revenue, but it can be argued that while the Iraq war was ill concieved, we cannot very well undo it and so we cannot easily save money there. It can be argued that homeland security funding is necessary, and likely this is true; no savings there. Well, we could raise taxes on everyone or only those who won’t have their livelihood imperiled by that tax hike. But wait, republicans won’t countenance ANY tax increase. This is especially true for tea party members. So obviously if Obama and the dems had their way they would probably raise taxes on the wealthiest Americans and so that’s why you see every single conservative on tv, radio, newspaper, internet blog condemning Obama for such pueril things on a daily basis. There is BILLIONS AT STAKE. All men are.created equal, yes. But, the wealthy are MORE equal than the impoverished. They OWN the media outlets, it’s a rigged game to begin with. Therefore they.control information which means they are uniquely powerful because in a very fundamentally deniable way they have incredible influence over us, and it has wrought terrible results. Evidence of this? It’s all before your eyes. They can try to hide it but trace evidence always remains. Sometimes there is a wealth of documentation that proves this, whether it is a conspiracy or whether it is just the unintended consequence of loosely coordinated behavior with no real malicious intent. Example: conservative talk radio. How fawningly Limbaugh, Hannity, Scarborough, O’reilly and countless others followed the party lines of the Bush administration even after it was proven they lied to us about Iraq link to al qaeda and the missing stock piles of wmd. Why weren’t they outraged? Maybe they knew it was a load of BS to start. Maybe they don’t care because they were a part of that lie and are too ashamed to be angry. Or maybe the balm of a 400 million dollar contract soothes a troubled conscience. Anyway Bush Cheney could do no wrong in their eyes. After the VP got drunk and shot his buddy during a hunting trip, the birdshot stricken senior went on TV to apologize for his audacity for standing in the way of the heroic Cheyney’s shotgun and causing an incident. Whoa! THAT’S power! Now Barak Obama gets slammed daily for perceived slights against the good, honest white folk of this country, chiefly his being black, by these same people! He manages to cauterize the wound of losing seven hundred thousand jobs a month during Bush’s last days in office, orders the.mission that kills Osama bin Laden, saves our auto industry and starts the work of getting even the most wretched of our country affordable and competent health care; but all you hear from those Bush cheerleaders is that our president is unpatriotic, is destroying the white middle class intentionally, is stealing from the rich to give to the poor(they actually say wealth redistribution, otherwise people might remember robin hood and form unsavory positive feelings for our president), is a communist, is a socialist, is a (gasp) LIBERAL! This, from someone who said a few days back that all liberal programs like Medicare, welfare, et cetera are part of an effort by liberals like obama to ruin this country. And this is a constant, steady every day event. Like dysentery. why do their listeners not show outrage? Some do. Mostly they get weeded out from calling in to their radio shows by screens but when they get on they try to insert some sanity, but they are quickly yelled at, intimidated, taunted called names, disconnected.from the show and made fun of. The rest of the listeners, mostly white are too ecstatic to hear what they want to hear about a black president who is going to take all their money away to care that they’re being lied to. Black America is.being targeted through Obama. It’s working, too. Why wouldn’t it? They’re 13% of our country and not very wealthy, its not like they get a chance to.defend.themselves in the media in a neutral setting. It worked against the Jews in Nazi Germany. But Limbaugh(this is true, look it up) denied that his.listeners, or.himself for.that matter, thought of the president as black at all! See? There’s no racism! We only hate him for (insert propaganda here). Oh I guess that’s why he said Melanin is thicker than water, right,.Rush? Why else would Colin Powell want to vote a black man into office? Surely not merit! The only real question is whether fox news works for the GOP or vice versa. There’s interesting but limited info on this on fox news Wikipedia.page under controversy and criticism. Anyway Obama is.clearly a giant of American history, Nd deservedly so. He’s put up with.more hate motivated criticism in his 2 plus years as Bush had legitimate criticism in his two.full terms. He is.clearly an intelligent, thoughtful, patriotic American who is doing his best for our country even with so many people praying he screws up big time so they can slam him for it and keep him out of the running for a second term. there is no way this man deserves the constant daily condemnation that smack of a well funded,.well coordinated propaganda campaign, which is illegal since the republicans in the house and senate are involved. The result of all this Obama bashing is.that we spend a lot of.time arguing angrily about it. Too much time and too angrily. Also, one of the.consequences of.undermining confidence in Obama is a perpetually stagnant economy. In a nation where our dollars.are not backed by.precious metals, only by the confidence of the people in our country, these conservative doomsayers on the airwaves are confining us to economic hell which they will blame on Obama, and round and round it goes. Are you not all tired.of this? Do we not all want our country to prosper? If so we should.start by boycotting talk radio.and fox news. I think unless we get a.truly free press where the members of said body actually have principles and stick to them we will see things deteriorate.further before they get better, instead of.just getting better.

    I didn’t hear Rush’s program but I’ll bet a $1000.00 to a hole in a donut he has sucked the the foolish, gullible, easily fooled left into another funny trap like he has before. We will find out Thursday what is REALLY happening.

    Im a hard right conservative. Having said that, I cannot even begin to defend Rush here. Is he stupid? Why would ANYONE take ANYTHING like that without getting some sources first. It would be VERY obvious and everyone would have know a long time ago if Obama was actually flying from place to place.

    Now having said that, Obama is still the biggest fraud ever perpetrated on the American people. He is a hypocrite and liar and Rush being wrong doesnt change that fact.

    I found this again. You put a lot of work into this writing. I usually don’t read through much of the comments but I gave yours a shot so you won’t feel depressed because every one ignored the piece. So in fairness to your piece, your an IDIOT…

    Rush has more spies than Obama and a 99.3 fact accuracy rate..

    Ha, Odumbo never rode more than a mile in the bus for each stop he made to blather his crapole.

    There will come a time when there is only one way to settle these issues.  And as Obama’s marxist loving people have said, power comes from the barrel of a gun.

    Uh, you do realize the Hobbits won out in the end over the evil ones. right?

    lol – gotta hand it to Rush.  He loves to make up outrageous comments to watch the libs get in a tizzy – works every time – a bunch of Pavlovian dogs…

    This article is false in its main report. I heard Limbaugh on this myself. He did not say Obama never rode on the buses but that he only rode on them for a few miles and then the buses were transported by plane to various locations.

    The Tea part is stonger than ever and was instumental in taking back the House last elections. This time around it will also be key and don’t be surprised if the Senate gains more Tea Party members and the next President is a Tea Party person as well.

    Limbaugh going the way of Beck.

    The weirdest part is that Limbaugh groupies will actually believe his bizarro ideological logic.

    So let me get this straight. You need a weapon because someone mocked some obviously stupid comments by Rush ?

  • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_MPPK2CTPRQYEYSXVOFVUJRX3SQ ken

    So to be clear: You need a weapon because Obma’s staff mocked stupid comments from Rush ?

    So you are going with semantics? Did you really listen to the clip?
