Rush: Democrats Are a ‘Bunch of Cowards’
Top radio talker Rush Limbaugh, in a rare TV appearance on Fox News Channel - opened the clip and unloaded his rapid-fire opinions on a host of topics, political and otherwise. Limbaugh, interviewed by Fox host Neil Cavuto, blasted Democrats for being "a bunch of cowards” for their seemingly endless attacks on President Bush, Supreme Court Justice Sam Alito and others. Limbaugh reserved particular contempt for former President Jimmy Carter and his inappropriate comments made at Coretta Scott King's funeral celebration. "I think Coretta Scott King and MLK Jr., if there is to be any anger from above looking down at that event, it would be from them,” Limbaugh said. "For a former president, no less, to take these cheap partisan shots, makes the Democrats look like the angry people that they really are ... mean-spirited, discourteous and wrong.” Limbaugh said Democrats and Republicans should hold to what they truly believe – stick to the ideology – and engage in healthy debate. Doing so, he said, would reveal the character of people in each party and the message behind the party platforms that are often obscured and distorted in media reports.

"We all want prosperity, liberty and freedom, educational opportunity and safety for our kids, but there are different ways of getting these things,” Limbaugh said. "Liberals think they’re smarter than you and have to make all the decisions. Conservatives trust average, everyday, ordinary Americans to make important decisions for themselves.” Other random thoughts from Limbaugh: On Democrats: "The Enemies List for Democrats includes ExxonMobil, any pharmaceutical company, Wal-Mart ... Anything or anybody that defines success in this country.” On Sen. Hillary Clinton’s possible White House run:
"There was a recent poll that showed 51 percent of the American people definitely would not vote for Hillary Clinton. She will try to pretend she is moving to the middle on issues, but there is a new media out there today that does not let the major media get away with defining the news for everyone as they did in the past ... She will probably redefine negative politics.” On the war in Iraq:
"How do you triangulate the war? How do you triangulate terrorism? You’re either for it or you’re against it, whether you like to admit it or not.” On the theory that conservative Republicans must ‘move to the center’ on policies: "Screw the moderates. Conservatives win when they are conservative. They don’t win by moderating their views. People today are hungry for ideology.” On his own personal investments: "I live off my income. My investment portfolio is very conservative with lots of municipal funds. I’m well over 50 percent in munis and real estate investments and I don’t tap it. I’m patient. I’m not looking for the overnight income. I know I’ll be working tomorrow because I love what I do.”
