Cheney On Limbaugh: "I Love Him" (VIDEO)

Many Republican leaders have squirmed lately when asked about Rush Limbaugh, fearful of angering the conservative talk show host but not willing to endorse his most incendiary remarks. Not so Dick Cheney, who offered a full-throated defense of Limbaugh on CNN's "State of the Union" Sunday:

Q: What next for your party? There has been a big dust-up in recent days, in parts stoked by the White House, about Rush Limbaugh making some comments. David Frum, a conservative who worked in your administration, says that Rush Limbaugh is kryptonite, because he drives away the voters the Republicans need to build the road to discovery. Is Rush Limbaugh kryptonite?

CHENEY: No, Rush is a good friend. I love him. I think he does great work and has for years. He's now offered to debate President Obama on his radio show. Hell, I'd pay to see that! It would be interesting to have developed.

Don't let your wife find out you LOVE Rush, Cheney. Then she'll have to report you to the Neo-Con 'morality police' and they'll have to have a talk with you in the Mens' room...

[RealPlumber]

No surprise here. Chaney's a dittohead.

[splinter1968]

No surprise. Hey, Cheney, you better pay attention to what's happening to Madoff. You might be in a jail cell pretty soon, too! Now that's something I'd pay to see!

Darth Vader and Jabba the Hut were allies...n­o big surprise there

Cheney, Limbaugh, Hannity and Beck can spew their hate with impunity because their audience and the GOP base are like minded. They don't have to worry about appearing reasonable to thinking, mainstream people.

John King is such a putz and so is CNN.

Notice they didn't ask about Cheney's personal H!t Team?

Limbaugh's most notable remarks:

1. "Why should Blacks be heard? They're 12% of the population. Who the hell cares."

2. "I think this reason why girls don't do well on multiple choice tests goes all the way back to the Bible, all the way back to Genesis, Adam and Eve. God said, 'All right, Eve, multiple choice or multiple orgasms, what's it going to be?' We all know what was chosen"

3. “Citizen service is a repudiation of the principles upon which our country was based. We are all here for ourselves.­"

4. "Feminism was established so as to allow unattractive women easier access to the mainstream of society."

5. “If we are going to start rewarding no skills and stupid people--I'm serious, let the unskilled jobs that take absolutely no knowledge whatsoever to do--let the stupid and unskilled Mexicans do that work."

6. "The NAACP should have riot rehearsal. They should get a liquor store and practice robberies"

7. I mean, let’s face it, we didn’t have slavery in this country for over 100 years because it was a bad thing. Quite the opposite: slavery built the South. I’m not saying we should bring it back; I’m just saying it had its merits. For one thing, the streets were safer after dark.

8. You know who deserves a posthumous Medal of Honor? James Earl Ray [the confessed assassin of Martin Luther King]. We miss you, James. Godspeed.

And this is who the Republicans relate to and the former VP loves and admires. I personally believe that quote #8 is akin to a hate crime in that it lends itself to inciting racial hate and violence. The man should be prosecuted accordingly and should have, long ago, lost his radio show in the same manner as did Don Imus.

Shameful and disgracefu­l...every single person that supports this kind of hatred and ignorance.

[Babysnake]

Why isn't this guy prosecuted?

[Gladys1963]

Ewww.

[EnuffsEnuffAlready]

Beavis loves Butthead. Who knew?

[kdlaiusa]

I hope your friends and relatives visit you often during your jail time. Please shut up go back to Wyoming. DC is not a place for you anymore. You and Bush have done enough destruction to this country in the last 8 years. And the 10 million lies you have told......

Soul-less brothers, neither one can see themselves in a mirror!

[monac58]

Butt buddies.

Interesting to see the GOP try to position Cheney as the wise old man of the party.

Expect to see a very large resurgence of the fear card in the MSM coverage.

If there were any lingering doubts about whether Cheney puts political gain over national interest, this lovefest between political terrorists puts the last nail in it.
