was dogged for going on Limbaugh. Double standards.

Limbaugh to cut off a rumor Limbaugh started?
Honest question. I don't remember that incident and I wasn't one of the people criticizing him.

"rethugs" voting for him.

Obama wants the support of Republicans, not their empty votes. He wants them to come on board with his agenda, not cynically vote for him to undermine the Democratic primary process.

How's he going to know the difference. I think Obama will take whatever vote regardless of the reason; same with Hillary.

he's not, and he doesn't need to, it will all come out in the wash of the GE
the point is, who does he appeal to?
RL is asking people to vote for Hillary who do not support her (if they can "stomach" it)
BO is asking Americans to vote for him if they support him, regardless of their party affiliation

they're republican and vote for Obama now, will vote for McCain in the GE.

primary but don't have any intention of voting for her in the general.
the republicans for Obama plan to vote for him in the general too.

IMO, it doesn't matter what the reason is. There's a lot of media outlets to choose from.

to vote for Hillary as part of Limbaugh's plan to fuck with the Democratic Primaries.
Obama is going to go man-to-man with the shitbags who are spewing crap about him.
There is a big difference between the two events.

I heard this too, but then later I heard what was played that day was actually a taped interview done earlier.
(I'm not saying he didn't do the interview, I'm saying the timing of it being played was up to the Limbaugh team, not that BC went on at that moment in time live.)
Got a problem with my posts? Quit reading them. They're usually opinions, and I don't come here to get in arguments.

it was done with a substitute host Mark Davis. Probably because Bill wanted to reach Limbaugh's audience and Limbaugh was smart enough to know that having Bill's voice and his own co-mingling through the electronic airwaves would cause some sort of disturbance in the force that might cause Armageddon.

Bill went on Davis' morning show. Davis was sub for Rush in the afternoon. Davis played the tape of his interview with Bill from his morning show. Those are the facts. It's highly unlikely Bill even knew Davis was going to play the tape on Rush's show. Not a Clinton fan, but let's stay with the facts.

So it was the same day after all, but intended for a different audience. Thanks for the clarification.

the day of an election and the day after Rushbo said this:
"Wouldn’t you love to cream Hillary though...why are you so afraid of her? Look at how ineptly she has campaigned against Obama," Limbaugh responded to one listener who said she wanted to see Clinton out of the race immediately. "I’m asking people to cross over, and if they can stomach it and I know it’s a difficult thing to do, vote for Clinton," he also told Ingraham Friday. "But it will sustain this soap opera, and it’s something I think we need and it’ll be fun, too."
