Re: {OT} Carville Wanted Bush to Fail

These low-life scum.

The press never reported that Democratic strategist James Carville said
he wanted President Bush to fail before the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.
But a feeding frenzy ensued when radio host Rush Limbaugh recently said
he wanted President Obama to fail. 

On the morning of Sept. 11, 2001, just minutes before learning of the
terrorist attacks on America, Democratic strategist James Carville was
hoping for President Bush to fail, telling a group of Washington
reporters: "I certainly hope he doesn't succeed."
Carville was joined by Democratic pollster Stanley Greenberg, who seemed
encouraged by a survey he had just completed that revealed public
misgivings about the newly minted president.
"We rush into these focus groups with these doubts that people have
about him, and I'm wanting them to turn against him," Greenberg admitted.
The pollster added with a chuckle of disbelief: "They don't want him to
fail. I mean, they think it matters if the president of the United
States fails."
Minutes later, as news of the terrorist attacks reached the hotel
conference room where the Democrats were having breakfast with the
reporters, Carville announced: "Disregard everything we just said! This
changes everything!"
The press followed Carville's orders, never reporting his or Greenberg's
desire for Bush to fail. The omission was understandable at first, as
reporters were consumed with chronicling the new war on terror. But
months and even years later, the mainstream media chose to never
resurrect those controversial sentiments, voiced by the Democratic
Party's top strategists, that Bush should fail.
That omission stands in stark contrast to the feeding frenzy that ensued
when radio host Rush Limbaugh recently said he wanted President Obama to
fail. The press devoted wall-to-wall coverage to the remark, suggesting
that Limbaugh and, by extension, conservative Republicans, were
unpatriotic.
"The most influential Republican in the United States today, Mr. Rush
Limbaugh, said he did not want President Obama to succeed," Carville
railed on CNN recently. "He is the daddy of this Republican Congress."
Limbaugh, a staunch conservative, emphasized that he is rooting for the
failure of Obama's liberal policies.
"The difference between Carville and his ilk and me is that I care about
what happens to my country," Limbaugh told Fox on Wednesday. "I am not
saying what I say for political advantage. I oppose actions, such as
Obama's socialist agenda, that hurt my country.
"I deal in principles, not polls," Limbaugh added. "Carville and people
like him live and breathe political exploitation. This is all a game to
them. It's not a game to me. I am concerned about the well-being and
survival of our nation. When has Carville ever advocated anything that
would benefit the country at the expense of his party?"
Carville told Politico that focusing on Limbaugh is a deliberate
strategy aimed at undermining Republicans.
"The television cameras just can't stay away from him," he said. "Our
strategy depends on him keeping talking, and I think we're going to
succeed."
Greenberg added: "He's driving the Republican reluctance to deal with
Obama, which Americans want."
In 2006, 51 percent of Democrats wanted Bush to fail, according to a FOX
News/Opinion Dynamics poll.
