Rush Limbaugh's long and fiery speech at CPAC, which was filled with political insults against President Obama and Democrats and where he doubled down on wanting Obama to fail, has everybody talking. The ladies of "The View" waded into the thicket when Barbara introduced the topic by playing devil's advocate, saying that perhaps Limbaugh means he wants Obama to fail because his success would ruin our modern capitalist system.
Elisabeth asked if there was anything wrong with what Limbaugh said, and Sherri replied that there was. Sherri lamented that Limbaugh's comments are causing a lot of divisiveness and referred back to 9/11 when even though not everyone agreed with Bush's response, the country still came together to support him at the beginning. Shepherd said "the man has only been in office 31 days*; I don't think anyone is giving him a chance."
Elisabeth disputed this, at which point Walters broke in to say that if Republicans hoped Obama would fail they needed to offer up their own plan for success.
Elisabeth and Whoopi then got in on the action, with Elisabeth asking why is it wrong to hope that a system you believe is wrong will fail. Whoopi responded that Limbaugh's comments are a "crappy" thing to say after 31 days: "if in a year, you know, you feel this way, that's cool, but to say you want it to fail before we've even tried it seems crappy to me."
The ladies reminded Hasselbeck that comments like Limbaugh's could easily get one tagged as unpatriotic during the Bush years.
Watch the clip of the ladies getting heated below.
The segment ended on a lighter note when Joy snickered "did anyone think that black shirt made him look thin? I don't think so." Sherri disagreed: "I like a man with a black shirt and a black jacket. I think it looks kinda hot." An Incredulous Joy asked Sherri if she is a "chubby-chaser."
MCL comment: I watched the clip and I wished some of the ladies challenge the human talking point of that there were people out there wanting Bush to fail, because I haven't seen or heard anyone on the left saying they wanted to Bush to fail. Even Bill Maher hasn't gone out to wish Bush to fail but hey they can wish the president to fail, because they fear he's a "socialist" a word a vast majority of them don't even know what it means. Human talking point tried the right wing latest defense of wanting the president of the United States to fail well liberals wanted to Bush to fail, I for one who's a liberal and I didn't want Bush to fail because what it would meant to the rest of the country.Bush and the Republicans spend the last eight years screwing up and these "conservatives" defend it while the poll numbers were in their favor now the bottom has fallen out these clowns now want to denounced the events of the past eight years. Enjoy being the minority Republicans and right wingers I got a sense you're going to be there for a while.
