Rush Limbaugh: Barack Obama Is The Donovan McNabb Of Politics

I know, liberals.  It’s racist to say such provocative things about black people.  But setting aside the overabundance of PC, answer me this:

How is he wrong?

Seems like the metaphor is apt to me.  McNabb is a much-hyped NFL quarterback who has had nothing more than a mediocre career.  Barack Obama is a much-hyped politician who hasn’t accomplished anything more than getting elected to a Senate term he hasn’t even completed yet.

Talk about hitting one out of the park.  Rush, yet again displays why he is THE most influential man in America.  He makes things clear enough where even liberals can understand.

How is he wrong?

a) citizens votes don’t effect what quarterbacks are selected in the draft, or placed as first string quarterbacks.

Politicians ARE!

b) Obama is doing well because of his motivational speeches.  He is doing well because of his message.  He is doing well because he seems honest to people.  He is doing well because he inspires hope.  He is doing well because he strikes many people as a true leader.

c) McNabb’s had a statistic chart to look at to be rated.  Obama doesn’t.

d) The media doesn’t effect how McNabbs statistics are written, or how his coaches rate him, or where he is placed on the starter list.

Obama’s strictly voted into office and the media can effect that.

Therefore, the analogy is not only sort of stupid, but it has no footing in rational thought, thus, it explains why Rush said it.

It’s racist to say such provocative things about black people.

It’s not racist to say he is inexperienced. 

It sounds racist to say he is doing well even though it is believed that he has no talent, but he is voted in because the media is desirous to see a black man do well in politics.

That is probably the connection Rush is trying to make.  He is just a comedian trying to create a stir.  And you got the dust in your eye.

Rush is just exposing what most of us have said Obama is a candidate about nothing, an empty suit.

getting elected to a Senate term

Wasn’t that the one where the Dems (or their accomplices in the media) pulled dirty tricks on Ryan by releasing confidential divorce papers that neither Ryan nor his wife wanted to be released? Then after Ryan withdrew, Obama was able to beat the last minute replacement the Republicans ran against him.

So, Obama didn’t even win by himself on a level playing field! I guess it always helps to have God Damn America, flag stomping friends?

If Obama is the Donovan McNabb of politics, McSame is the Wrong Way Riegels.

Ron Riegels, a University of California football player, in the 1929 Rose Bowl against Georgia Tech, got spun around on the field and ran the ball 74 yards in the wrong direction, contributing to an 8-7 loss.

"McSame”, cute.

I guess we’ll call Barry “Ocarter”.

It sounds racist to say he is doing well even though it is believed that he has no talent, but he is voted in because the media is desirous to see a black man do well in politics

Glad we always have you guys there to throw down the race card and to divine what peoples motives are. To assume that social engineering is not a huge part of Barry’s rise is naive. If a white guy had the baggage Barry has no amount of good oratin’ would erase the stain. The McNabb analogy is very appropriate.

Also glad to see people are voting for Ocarter because of his “motivational speeches” “his message” “his honesty (seriously?)” “strikes people as a true leader (populism is the antithesis of leadership, btw), but they could care less about his policies. Interesting. It’s been said enough: Empty Suit.

I think that part of Obama’s success can be directly attributed to the fact that he’s black...but there are other things as well.

1. I think that early on the media really thought the Clintons came with to much baggage, and couldn’t win a general election. So they had to put their eggs in a different basket if they wanted a Democrat in the white house. Edwards was a slime ball. Richardson was minor league at best. That left the Tall, thin, telepromter polished junior senator from Chicago. Sure he was probably the least qualified of the bunch, and had never held a real job, but he could memorize inspirational speaches.

2. The limousine liberals who control the democratic party still have this romance with the radical left(Which is why we’ll soon be getting a cinematic homage to mass murderer Che Guevera from Hollywood soon). Obama manages to be radical left, without appearing radical left. So the hard left could have its socialist candidate promising to “perfect America” without the rest of America catching on. And if anyone points out just how philosophically nad emotionally intertwined Obama is with the hard left, call them a racist.

As usual Rush is still trying to make this about himself.  He is still bitter that ESPN fired his ass...um forced him to resign for making some of the stupidest ill informed statements ever heard on that network.  McNabb was not an average quarterback on a team carried by his defense being puffed by the media because he was black.  He was an excellent quarterback on a very good team as can be evidenced by his statistics.  There were also other black quarterbacks in the league at the time, McNair, Culpepper…

Just another stupid comment by Rush.

Nice contradiction WangChun!

Of course what this displays is that Conservatives will say ANYTHING against Obama to make themselves feel good.

They simply hate the fact that he is inspirational and an agent for change.  They have been praying to their cardboard figure of Bush for another saviour like Reagan.

Hannitized:

You got me. I was wrong to state that Obama can “memorize an inspirational speech.” I have no knowledge of Obama being able to memorize a a speach. I would have said “delivered” not “memorized.”

The fact remains that Obama is telegenic, and that is the only quality that promotes him above Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden, John “the scumbag” Edwards, or Dennis Kucinich. All of the other candidates have more political experience than Obama. Each of them has also had something Obama has never had...a real job.

The other irrefutable fact is that Obama is demonstrably far more left-wing than any of the other candidates...including Kucinich.

I don’t know how to answer your question given that you’ve phrased it as though it were gibberish, but I will say that relatively speaking Obama is an utter novice when it comes to leadership.

If you could even call him a leader at all.

Winning primaries, nominations or elections are not accomplishments. And Obamoid and Michelle have repeatedly denigrated the only accomplishment either of them have. Graduating from an Ivy League college.

Both have told young people to throw away their educations and go into low paying, dead end public service positions. Theres accomplishment. Not.

Yes. Unfortunately the Obama of the pretty post-racial, post politics speaches bears no resemblence to the left-wing demigogue who worked as a “community organizer” in Chicago, and does not reflect the extremism of so many of Obama’s long held friendships. That’s why Obama has to distance himself from so many of his close associates like Will Ayers or Rev. Phleger.

The media doesn’t effect how McNabbs statistics are written, or how his coaches rate him, or where he is placed on the starter list.

Obama’s strictly voted into office and the media can effect that.

Unfortunately the media has been unwilling to disclose just how extreme left-wing Obama’s background and associations. I think it’s fair to argue that Obama’s race is at least part of the reason. After all the media pretty well reflects America’s race-obsessed, gender-obsessed, sexual-orientation-obsessed university system. So to that extent, Rush’s comments are not entirely wrong.

One can argue that a progressively-biassed media would automatically ignore radical left-wing associations of other “progressive” candidates as well; they certainly did with Clinton. The difference is that Clinton only had a few radicals in his closet, and many of them had matured into liberal yuppies. The radicals bulging out of Obama’s closet represent a huge and recent part of his life, and still remain true to their socialist calling.

It’s fair to point out that Obama’s ethnic heritage has in given him additional teflon coating beyond what the average leftist would receive from the media.

Wing Chun Geologist on June 5, 2008 at 08:23 pm

Obama would probably just say that Rush is a “typical white person”.

Because Obama is the “post racial” candidate.

Ok I’m not the biggest McNabb fan but I can’t call him an over-hyped or average QB either.  Lets take a look at his work and keep in mind that he NEVER had a dominate tight end or a true number 1 receiver with the exception of the 2004 season when he posted elite numbers and set an all time NLF record for the only QB to throw 30 TDs with less than 10 Ints (8).

- 5x Pro Bowl selection (2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004)
- 2000 NFL MVP runner-up (finished second to Marshall Faulk)
- 2004 NFC Offensive Player of the Year
- 75th Anniversary Team
- Holds record for longest streak of completions (24)
- Second in all time pass attempt to interception ratio
- 4 Consecutive NFC Title Games
- 1 Superbowl Loss

Seems a bit more than average to me… Enough about that though.

Isn’t it hypocritical how everyone is so quick to point out how uneducated on the issues Obama supporters are and how they are voting for the wrong reasons.  There are just as many McSame supporters that make voting decisions based on superficial or inaccurate information (and not political issues).

Obviously race has and will continue to play a significant role in the decision process of many individuals.  There are some that will vote for Obama just because he is “black” there are others that will vote against him for the same reason.  This is unfortunate.  The idea that being multi-racial makes it “easier” to get elected in this country is laughable however.  This is not the first attempt by a “black” candidate to become president.
