Rush Limbaugh Rips Fox News Panel For 'Slobbering' Over Obama Speech, Panel Responds (VIDEO)

A feud has broken out between Rush Limbaugh and the so-called "All Star Panel" on Fox News' "Special Report" over the panel's praise for President Obama's speech at the memorial for the Arizona shooting victims. Speaking on his radio show Thursday, Limbaugh slammed the panelists--which, on the night of the speech, were Brit Hume, Charles Krauthammer and Chris Wallace--for their positive comments.

"They were slobbering over it for the predictable reasons," he said. "It was smart, it was articulate, it was oratorical. It was, it was all the things the educated, ruling class wants their members to be and sound like."

On Thursday night's "Special Report," host Bret Baier played the Limbaugh clip and asked Krauthammer--who had called the speech "quite remarkable and extremely effective"--for his reaction.

"As one of the three slobberers...I find it interesting that only the ruling class wants a president who is smart articulate and oratorical in delivering a funeral oration," Krauthammer said. "It's an odd and rather condescending view of what the rest of America is looking for in their president.

Al Franken pegged Limbaugh several years ago with a book entitled, "Rush Limbaugh is a Big Fat Pig." Nothing much has changed since.

The only thing he is good for is talking to kids about the dangerous of abusing prescription pain killers.

So then, Rush just admitted by implication that he isn't smart and articulate himself?

BTW, does anyone remember the days when Rush Limbaugh used to think that being elitist wasn't a bad thing? Except he didn't use that word; he always said "discriminating".

Good ol' Rush...pointing out a chunk of what's wrong with Conservative America...as Jay Lake writes on this "I don't want to live in a society where having a smart, articulate, oratorical leader is a *bad* thing".

He's not smart or articulate. Everyone including his biggest fans admit he's not good off the teleprompter.

If you have never heard this hate and fear monger you would think he's broadcasting from Osama bin laden's hiding cave.

The last thing Rush was slobbering about was pain killers. I think he needs some more, his pain has move to his as*, where his head is located too.

THE BULL CH10T OF THE MSM LEFT-RIGHT REPUBLICANS-DEMOCRATS CONSERVATIVES-LIBERALS/PROGRESSIVES IS A “CUNNING MAKE-BELIEVE DISTRACTION OF AMERICANS” FROM THE $BILLIONS and $TRILLIONS IN CRIMES THE INTERNATIONAL BANKSTERS CONTINUE COMMITTING UNINTERRUPTED WHILE OWNING BOTH PARTIES.

 
FED BY MS-NBC + F0X + CNN + EVEN CNBC+ and the rest:  With Maddow, Beck, Ed, RU-SH, and 0'Rei11y making DEV1LS out of the other WALL STREET PARTY.
 

The ONLY DOMINANT REAL ISSUE IN AMERICA IS: The CRIMINALS versus the HONEST MAJORITY!  

 
WHO IS GOING TO WIN?

It sounds like you may be advocating a "third party" candidate of some kind. I must disagree. Like it or not, our system currently consists of two major parties who dominate the national elections, and a couple of smaller groups that pick up a few seats at state and local levels. A vote for a third party candidate at the national level, would simply hand the election to the more conservative candidate.

I don't like it either. But it's all we've got...for now.

I am advocating a PARTY FOR THE HONEST MAJORITY!

If the DEMS and Repuks can not provide that then the HONEST MAJORITY PARTY made up of those ready to RID our COUNTRY OF CROOKS and BANKSTERS!
