Puffballs with Chris Matthews and Total Bias, Complete Bull with Campbell Brown

Okay, so it was completely obvious that Chris Matthews was on the Obama bandwagon during the primary season last year when he announced to his audience that he gets a thrill up his leg when Obama speaks. So it came as no surprise the other day when Matthews criticized as Rush Limbaugh as unpatriotic for saying that he hopes Obama fails.

And last night, Campbell Brown who hosts "No Bias, No Bull" on CNN (and for those who complain that Fox News isn't "fair and balanced" as their slogan claims, I call bulls*** on No Bias, No Bull) also got into the act and denounced Limbaugh as "off key" with the "mainstream media" and "congressional Republicans" thus concluding that his view is "a big mistake."

Do Chris Matthews and Campbell Brown even know who they are talking about? This is Rush Limbaugh we're talking about. He's a conservative ideologue. He's often disagreed with congressional Republicans and he certainly disagrees with the mainstream media, which is overwhelming liberal. He believes in conservative principals. Obama believes in liberal principals. For Rush Limbaugh, having Obama fail means that he would fail to implement liberal policies that Limbaugh disagrees with. By that definition, I hope Obama fails on a lot of issues as well.

And where were the two of you the last 8 years when people openly criticized President Bush and openly hoped that he'd fail, when they rooted for failure in Iraq? Did you criticize those people as unpatriotic? No, you did not. Instead, you sounded the trumpet from the highest tower than Bush was selected not elected, a moron who was shredding the Constitution and blundering into an illegal war in Iraq. You criticized people who suggested that not supporting the president during a time of war was unpatriotic and said you were simply speaking truth to power and that it was your job as the media to be the watchdog. You never gave George W. Bush a chance. And you now have the audacity to call Rush Limbaugh unpatriotic for hoping that Barack Obama, a man whose views are the complete total opposite of his, fails to implement his liberal policies.

Shame on the two of you. You can't even cover up your blatant Obama bias and your hypocritical stance on this issue is despicable. You two represent what is the worst about America - free speech for me but not for thee.
