Rush backed down from debating a woman, but wants to debate Obama
Its because he knows he’s going to get press, just for having the cojones (shriveled though they might be by alleged illegal prescription drug use) to challenge Obama. Oh yes, I went there… And I did so, to illustrate how UGLY any conversation involving Limbaugh gets.
However,
In the wake of Rush Limbaugh challenging President Barack Obama to a debate, it has been pointed out to me that before the radio host steps up to face the president, he might want to clear his dance card of some earlier debate challenges. Perhaps he has forgotten, but Limbaugh already has a standing challenge from CNN’s banisher of “bias” and “bull” Campbell Brown, to appear on the air and debate their chief business correspondent, Ali Velshi, who Limbaugh had previously maligned.
Campbell Brown said: Now, Mr. Limbaugh, you may well have a legitimate case to make about tax cuts and what they can do for the economy, but the histrionics and the name-calling, they undermine anything constructive you might have to say. Rush, I would love for you to come on, on this show and debate Ali on the issues. Make a case for your ideas. Our country is in desperate straits right now, and we need ideas. But what we don’t need is nasty rhetoric and useless noise. This doesn’t help anyone get a job or keep a job or feed their family. If there were ever a time to put the meanness behind us and focus on real dialogue and real solutions, this is the time.
If you take the words out of Campbell’s mouth and put them into the mouths of worried Americans, here they are:
What we don’t need is nasty rhetoric and useless noise. This doesn’t help anyone get a job or keep a job or feed their family. If there were ever a time to put the meanness behind us and focus on real dialogue and real solutions, this is the time.
If you read the comments on any blog post related to Rush Limbaugh, they are filled with HATE and SPIT. No common ground can be found under those conditions. No peace can be made, when posturing is more important than solving problems.
I challenge Rush to lower his rhetoric, to show up with some concrete solutions and to listen to other sides, so that we can find a middle ground.
But I’ve already challenged Rush.
And he’s blown me off, too.
