Hope for Failure

UPDATE

Now comes a story that minutes before reports of the attacks on the morning of September 11, 2001, James Carville and Stanley Greenberg were hosting several Washington reporters and touting the fact that they wanted Bush to fail, and rushed a poll in order to prove their desires, but were disappointed because they could not find more people to agree with them. As soon as the attacks began, Carville demanded that no one speak of him wanting Bush to fail, and media lap dogs complied.

Original Post

Lots of media attention has been paid to the lefties coming unglued over Rush Limbaugh's proclamation that he hopes that Obama's socialistic economic policies fail. Let's look at some articles now and from an earlier time in the recent past.

The Huffington Post compares Rush to Bin Laden and says, "We are in such terrible times, the President needs the support of ALL Americans, even unpatriots like Rush Limbaugh.”

Rahm Emanuel thinks that Rush’s belief is the “wrong philosophy for America."

Leonard Pitts says no one should hope any president fails, and to do so is "disloyal."

Other notables (and unnotables) who have slammed Rush include Columbia Professor Lincoln Mitchell, Andy Borowitz, Paul Abrams, James Moore, Keith Olbermann and Janeane Garofalo, Joy Behar and the other girls from the View gang (minus the intelligent Elizabeth Hasselbeck), Keith Olbermann (again), and Chris Matthews.

Now let's step back in time just a bit.

In early January 2001, as President Bush was taking office, E J Dionne wrote that most Democrats were wanting the president to fail.

In 2006, while in the midst of a war in Afghanistan and Iraq, a poll revealed that the majority of Democrats hoped that President Bush failed.

Why do lefties conveniently forget their past actions and words? Why do they allow such damning hypocrisy to show? Why are they egotistical enough to assume no one will ever hold them to past promises, proclamations, writings, etc?

Because the people who vote for them are idiots who can't remember, and so rely solely on what is spoonfed them by the lefties and their mainstream media lapdogs.
