Ben Quayle Makes His Cable News Debut, Defends ‘Worst President Ever’ Ad

video
» 83 comments

Arizona Congressional candidate Ben Quayle is now known on the national scene for three things: being Vice President Dan Quayle‘s son, having some questionable relationship with a website of ill repute, and calling Barack Obama the “worst president in history.” Today on the O’Reilly Factor, the younger Quayle squared off with fill-in host Juan Williams to try to make a national splash on policy as well as personality.

In a world of Sharron Angles and Rand Pauls, Quayle didn’t actually do so terribly. In fact, the most shocking part of the interview was his continued defense of his statement that there has never been a worse president in history than Obama, arguing that while he “had thought long and hard about it” and “wasn’t happy to make it,” he strongly believed it. “President Obama and his misguided policies and ideology have really fundamentally changed our country in the wrong way more so than any other president in our history,” he concluded.

Most of Quayle’s interview continued in a similarly hyperbolic vein, claiming Obama is “destroying the American dream” and other such acts. But he also made the valid point that Arizona is the kind of state where polls are showing residents might agree with him more than in other parts of the country. “We are at the forefront of this administration’s attacks,” he told Williams, discussing illegal immigration and Mexican drug cartels.

Williams didn’t shy away from asking tough questions, though, asking Quayle, “Is it fair to say that you’re simply pandering to the worst instincts on the right” to win the election? Quayle responded with a fairly textbook conservative definition. More interesting was his answer to questions about that website of ill-repute, Dirty Scottsdale, which he called “despicable and obnoxious” and part of a “smear campaign” by his opponents.

    amateur hour at the GOP!

    Son of Quayle?

    BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH-

    O’Reilly put Williams , a liberal , in to host his prime time show . Not the first time , either . Would Herr Olbermann put his opposite in to host his show ? Of course , Olby ‘ s opposite would be any sane person .

    Doesn’t Olbermann get Richard Wolfe (spelling?) to fill in for him? So no, probably not.

    Ben Quayle seems like a pretty massive tool and moron. No rational person believes someone not even halfway through one term is the worst president in American history. And this hyperbolic nonsense about “destroying the American dream” is just plain stupid. Plus the guy is a totally incompetent politician (fake kids, lying about the dirty website). I imagine he’s loving all the attention though.

    Great ad! Worst President ever to match the worst Congress.

    You know what the insipid moron who wrote that would actually have a point if he wasn’t so quick to always apply faulyt smear and fear logic-see in his tiny little mind guys like David Brooks and Kathleen parkers are not conservatives and joe scarborogh is basically a lib.

    juan williams is treated much the same way by mainstream progressive-they don’t consider him a liberal and Bill O’Reilly KNOWS THIS.

    If he wanted a real liberal he would have put on Alan colmes.

    Back to square one on that cretin.

    On October 20, 2001, Louis Farrakhan spoke at a Sun Myung Moon event in New York. Here’s how the sponsors and participants were identified in a press advisory:

    “Interreligious and International Federation for World Peace (IIFWP) convenes more than 20 former heads of state including Abdurrahman Wahid (Indonesia), Edward Schreyer (Canada), Rodrigo Carazo (Costa Rica); 40 UN Ambassadors including representatives from Afghanistan, Pakistan, Arab League, Uzbekistan, Colombia, Hungary, Kenya, Ukraine, Nicaragua, etc.; current and former legislators and governmental leaders including Dan Quayle, Richard Holbrooke, Richard Thornburg, Danny K. Davis; together with religious leaders including Rev. Sun Myung Moon (IIFWP founder), Minister Louis Farrakhan, Pakistan’s Minister of Religious Affairs, and representatives of Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, Sikkhism, and other major faiths…”

    Wondering if daddy gave any of his Moon money to Ben?

    Great article regarding the failur that is Obama:

    The stunning decline of Barack Obama: 10 key reasons why the Obama presidency is in meltdown

    The last few weeks have been a nightmare for President Obama, in a summer of discontent in the United States which has deeply unsettled the ruling liberal elites, so much so that even the Left has begun to turn against the White House. While the anti-establishment Tea Party movement has gained significant ground and is now a rising and powerful political force to be reckoned with, many of the president’s own supporters as well as independents are rapidly losing faith in Barack Obama, with open warfare breaking out between the White House and the left-wing of the Democratic Party. While conservatism in America grows stronger by the day, the forces of liberalism are growing increasingly weaker and divided.

    Against this backdrop, the president’s approval ratings have been sliding dramatically all summer, with the latest Rasmussen Daily Presidential Tracking Poll of US voters dropping to minus 22 points, the lowest point so far for Barack Obama since taking office. While just 24 per cent of American voters strongly approve of the president’s job performance, almost twice that number, 46 per cent, strongly disapprove. According to Rasmussen, 65 per cent of voters believe the United States is going down the wrong track, including 70 per cent of independents.

    The RealClearPolitics average of polls now has President Obama at over 50 per cent disapproval, a remarkably high figure for a president just 18 months into his first term. Strikingly, the latest USA Today/Gallup survey has the President on just 41 per cent approval, with 53 per cent disapproving.

  • MichelleF

    Since I know you lefites won’t actually read the article, I’ll post my favorite portions:

    10. Obama doesn’t believe in American greatness

    Barack Obama has made it clear that he doesn’t believe in American exceptionalism, and has made apologising for his country into an art form. In a speech to the United Nations last September he stated that “no one nation can or should try to dominate another nation. No world order that elevates one nation or group of people over another will succeed. No balance of power among nations will hold.” It is difficult to see how a US president who holds these views and does not even accept America’s greatness in history can actually lead the world’s only superpower with force and conviction.

  • MichelleF

    9. President Obama is muddled and confused on national security

    From the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq to the War on Terror, President Obama’s leadership has often been muddled and confused. On Afghanistan he rightly sent tens of thousands of additional troops to the battlefield. At the same time however he bizarrely announced a timetable for the withdrawal of US forces beginning in July 2011, handing the initiative to the Taliban. On Iraq he has announced an end to combat operations and the withdrawal of all but 50,000 troops despite a recent upsurge in terrorist violence and political instability, and without the Iraqi military and police ready to take over. In addition he has ditched the concept of a War on Terror, replacing it with an Overseas Contingency Operation, hardly the right message to send in the midst of a long-war against Al-Qaeda.

    8. US foreign policy is an embarrassing mess under the Obama administration

    It is hard to think of a single foreign policy success for the Obama administration, but there have been plenty of missteps which have weakened American global power as well as the standing of the United States. The surrender to Moscow on Third Site missile defence, the failure to aggressively stand up to Iran’s nuclear programme, the decision to side with ousted Marxists in Honduras, the slap in the face for Great Britain over the Falklands, have all contributed to the image of a US administration completely out of its depth in international affairs. The Obama administration’s high risk strategy of appeasing America’s enemies while kicking traditional US allies has only succeeded in weakening the United States while strengthening her adversaries.

  • paulmdoro

    Any original thoughts Michelle? And seriously this is the opinion of a single person? Get a grip.

  • MichelleF

    1. The Obama presidency is out of touch with the American people

    In a previous post I noted how the Obama presidency increasingly resembles a modern-day Ancien Régime, extravagant, decaying and out of touch with ordinary Americans. The First Lady’s ill-conceived trip to Spain at a time of widespread economic hardship was symbolic of a White House that barely gives a second thought to public opinion on many issues, and frequently projects a distinctly elitist image. The “let them eat cake” approach didn’t play well over two centuries ago, and it won’t succeed today.

    Never fear though, the first family is taking a trip to the gulf and it’s reported they are staying a total of 27 hours.

    Paul, I’m shocked you don’t actually have a rebuttal. That’s ok, we’re kind of used to that by now.

  • Cecelia

    It’s as though Quayle has committed some sort of onerous and ghastly deed by using what has been standard political rhetoric in the last 12 years.

    These Mediaite stories give you the impression that Quayle isn’t merely guilty of being hyperbolic, but of being heretical.

    Just as we’re used to you never having a single original thought. All you do is regurgitate or post what someone else has said. I’m thrilled you enjoy letting others do all the thinking for you Michelle.

    I think it’s all a bunch of nonsense and nothing new or original. “Out of touch” and “doesn’t believe in American greatness.” Same old crap.

  • MichelleF

    Hey Paul, here’s a thought, why don’t you refute what Quayle said, by posting why you think BO is so great. I’ll give you some time, it could take a while to come up with something.

  • paulmdoro

    I never said Obama is great. I certainly have my issues with him. But he is not the worst president in the history of America. That is crazy talk Michelle. People on the right say we need to wait and let history judge Bush. If that is true how can we already definitely judge a presidency not even halfway complete?

    And here we have michelle the ignorant tart enagaing in her favorite form of obfuscation.

    Just like it is easier to let someone else do the thinking for you, posting a long article while demanding that others refute it rather than post original thoughts and opinions.

    And if we need to wait and let history judge Bush, how can we already definitively judge Obama less than halfway through his presidency?

    I remember when he was a kid. And I remember looking at his face and wondering specifically what effect the ridicule heaped on his father by the media/left would have on him psychologically. Well now we’re seeing it: He’s still pissed. If I were David Letterman, I’d hire some bodyguards.

    Don’t want to answer my question.

    I disagree with a lot of it Michelle, but pointing out exactly why is time consuming. It’s not a matter of just posting someone else’s thoughts and passing them off as my own, which takes 10 seconds.

    So he’s a poor victim? Is Chelsea Clinton a victim too? I remember her being made fun of for her looks all the time.

    “Just like it is easier to let someone else do the thinking for you” paulmdoro

    Paul, please, you know conservatives like Michelle and me aren’t as smart as you. Give us a break! And besides, if Mr. Gardiner expresses our thoughts and feelings exactly, it would be pretty stupid for us to try and better him, don’t you think? Here, have some regurgitation:

    6. Obama’s support for socialised health care is a huge political mistake

    In an extraordinary act of political Harakiri, President Obama leant his full support to the hugely controversial, unpopular and divisive health care reform bill, with a monstrous price tag of $940 billion, whose repeal is now supported by 55 per cent of likely US voters. As I wrote at the time of its passing, the legislation is “a great leap forward by the United States towards a European-style vision of universal health care, which will only lead to soaring costs, higher taxes, and a surge in red tape for small businesses. This reckless legislation dramatically expands the power of the state over the lives of individuals, and could not be further from the vision of America’s founding fathers.”

    “And Baby-Bootie, allow an ignorant person to point out that the words are spelled COLUMN and POINTS.”

    Thank you for admitting your ignorance that is the first step!!! funny even old Gordo knows that only assholes play the spelling game. But being a lying ass shill that’s all you’ve ever got really. You should do it more often because at least then you’re doing something useful!!!

    You misinterpreted the tone of my post. I was serious about the concern over how a child might internalize the type of abuse a public-figure-parent might endure, regardless of party affiliation.

    But I was joking about the Letterman thing obviously. Dan Quayle jokes were a staple of Letterman monologues for years.

    As for Chelsea, anyone who insulted that girl publicly (whether it be the writers on SNL or Rush Limbaugh) should go straight to hell.

    Juan’s a nice enough guy, but even MSNBC has acknowledged that the majority of blacks, have, and will continue to support Obama, based only on his skin color. Basically, there isn’t a lot of deep thinking going on, when they cast their votes. How unfortunate, as well as shallow.

    Well when someone on “our” side slips up, the opposition regards it as typical of our side and tout it as such. When someone on their side slips up, it’s regarded as a forgivable slip or idiosyncrasy.

    For example, when a conservative says something “racially incensitive,” the left pounces because it’s seen as evidence for something they already know is true: conservatives are racist. When a liberal says something racially insensitive (e.g., the case of Harry Reid)–well. as Obama said, he knows what’s in his heart and therefore he gets a pass.

    I think this belief that the opposition is intrinsically evil is more an affliction of the left than the right, who for the most part regards the left as naive. Liberals think conservatives are just bad people, the usual exceptions applying of course.

    Well the jokes about Biden’s supposed gaff-proneness is pretty harmless. The media know this. And they can play it up, and thus respond to critics of their biases as you have just done. The truth is, the media would never smell blood in the water around Obama and go for the kill the way they do Republicans. Ask Hillary supporters what the primaries were like being the less-desired candidate. THAT is what it’s like being a Republican. I think the primaries opened many liberal eyes in that respect.

    Great ad, Quayle, it’s about time that conservatives stand up for America and tell the world what is currently wrong.

    O’Reilly put Williams , a liberal , in to host his prime time show . Not the first time , either . Would Herr Olbermann put his opposite in to host his show ? Of course , Olby ‘ s opposite would be any sane person .

    Puh-leeze. Juan does nothing but read right wing talking points.
    Obviously his ambition is more important than his principles.

    Yes who cares if he is a strong candidate with an exemplary platform. He called Obama the worst president ever. He must be great!

    Sounds like Mr. Gardiner of the Telegraph is a right wing hack that must have interned for Sean Hannity.

    And as for Ben Quayle…well, the apple sure doesn’t fall far from the tree.

    Yes I can’t imagine how Michelle was able to find a right-winger who dislikes Obama. Truly shocking. Must have taken her months if not longer.

    I like Juan Williams and I’m a conservative who listens to both sides. Thank God for Fox news who WILL put both sides on. More than I can say for the other stations. Quayle may be a person I wouldn’t vote for because I don’t know that much about him yet but he was VERY truthful when he said Obama was the WORSE President ever!!! Glad Quayle had the guts to say so!

    Yeah it sure takes a lot of guts to engage in ludicrous, overblown rhetoric that is completely removed from reality. It must have been so difficult for Ben to go on TV and say something asinine.

    I don’t watch cable news much, but the other day while waiting for a baseball game to start, I turned on CNN while flipping channels. Erick Erickson and a GOP strategist whose name I can’t remember were on at the same time. Is that totally out of the ordinary?

    Yes, guts, or more likely, pandering.

    Seems like more democrats are coming out against Obama too. Wonder if they are pandering?

    That may be so but they are hardly saying anything approaching the sheer idiocy and ignorance of “worst president ever.”

    Criticism is cool, calling someone who takes over the country from another administration a month after the country faced the worst economic crisis in over 80 years, the worst president ever, that is pandering.

    ENDLESS QUAYLE DROPPINGS:

    “One word sums up probably the responsibility of any vice-president, and that one word is ‘to be prepared ‘.’”
    -Dan Quayle, 12/06/89.
    “The future will be better tomorrow.” – Dan Quayle.
    “Hawaii has always been a very pivotal role in the Pacific. It is in the Pacific. It is a part of the United States that is an island that is right here.” – Dan Quaye. While visiting Hawaii in 1989.
    “If we don’t succeed, we run the risk of failure.” – Dan Quayle, 1990.

    Ben Quayle won his primary.

    Those are good ones Nachi. Since I work in the medical field, one of my favorites is this one.

    Babbling about ssthmatic children in the ER: “and they got some treatment. a breathalyzer….or an inhalater….” – Barack Obama

    It would be nice if he actually understood what happens in an ER before commenting on it. Which might be why America doesn’t trust the guy. He comments on things without having all the facts. Hence, the crisis of confidence the Obama administration is currently mired in.

    He is just as classless and uninformed as his father.
