Last night Rush Limbaugh phoned into Fox News to make sure he was able to get his spin out on the TV airwaves. The caucus results in Iowa were momentous, particularly if you’re a Huckabee supporter. I’ve blogged at length about Rush’s fixation on being one of the anti-Huckabee pundits despite the evidence that proves Rush wrong. Well, Michelle Malkin live blogged Rush’s call in:
Rush Limbaugh calls in to Fox News.
Huckabee won’t have the same base in New Hampshire. He’s not going to be critical of McCain. I think the Republican race is long, long to be decided.
Who’s his candidate? Haven’t picked one. I’m a rock-ribbed
Republicanconservative…Huckabee doesn’t have Reagan credentials.
Wrong, Rush, wrong! Compare Huckabee’s gubernatorial experience with that of Reagan and one finds striking parallels. Plus, one can find even stronger Reagan tendencies in the fact that Huckabee has been a life-long supporter of the concepts of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. It is terribly dishonest for Limbaugh to try to distinguish Huckabee from conservatism. Mike Huckabee is, despite Limbaugh’s handwringing, a genuine conservative. If one examines the Huckabee campaign planks, one can’t help but realize that he is the real deal in this race.
Question: What if Huckabee calls to try and make up with you?
RL: It’s not going to happen…wouldn’t expect him to try and make peace.
Uhh, Rush, Gov. Huckabee attempted to contact you by email and you decided to not respond to his email. You, Rush, are the one who needs to contact Gov. Huckabee and make amends for the blatant distortions of his record that you have parroted from the talking heads who failed to do even a modicum of research before trotting out their anti-Huckabee rhetoric. Time to face reality, Rush, this election cycle the GOP electorate are not taking their talking points from you. The more you rail against Gov. Huckabee and his supporters, the more you prove you’re increasingly becoming irrelevant as a conservative voice.

ahh the blood and guts… the gore… (not Al ) the wanton slaughter of ourselves.
Christians in the lions den .. gladiators beheading one another. panem et circenses (bread and circuses).
I like Mike. I think he can be groomed and with good advisors move forward. He is an excellent communicator.
But the “oh lord we just pray for mike, that oh lord he may be filled with wisdom” crowd of evangelicals needs to pipe down a bit. It’s all good in the church halls and home… but is a bit grating on the ears of majority of Americans who are not holy rolling evangelicals.
As for Rush, Hannity, Levin and co. whose profainity against everyone and everything that even remotly disagrees with their madness… they have brought about their own doom. The Republican Party is gone! Dead! Irrelavent.
It will likely take two more election cycles to even begin to recover…..
oh how the mighty have fallen.
I don’t really like Mike. He doesn’t have the presidential look that Reagan had. Romney, despite his change on the abortion issue, seems more presidential and likely to win. Thompson, if he hadn’t disappeared, would be a great candidate. Shame he wont be able to win.
I think that Limbaugh, Hannity, FOX and O’Reilly are railing against more that just seeing their boy Rudy getting whipped. They are scared.
Iowa was a good indication that folks are tired of the “Gotcha” politics. They want a kinder gentler race, where the real issues will be discussed for change. Instead of the old, “He wasn’t really a hero in Vietnam” and “He lied about the WMD” of our last election. With Obama and Huckabee, people may have a choice that goes beyond conservative or liberal. I look forward to it. I also look forward to the demise of the hate politics pimped by Limbaugh, Hannity, FOX and O’Reilly. It’s a new day, I hope.
