Mark Interviews Bill Clinton (no, really) on the Rush Limbaugh Show

Ex-President Clinton Talks to WBAP's Mark Davis

(WBAP) - Still campaigning for his wife on a critical primary election day, Ex-President Bill Clinton told
WBAP's Mark Davis that he believes Hillary Clinton will defeat Democratic rival Barack Obama on Tuesday.

Click here for the complete interview

So, Bill Clinton goes on the Rush Limbaugh show to "campaign" for his wife, a sure way to remind/inflame local republicans to vote for Hillary, as GOTV insurance for McCain.

15. Limbaugh Strategy Affected Texas AND Ohio:

Voting for Hillary - the GOP Strategy in Ohio and Texas

Edward B. Foley Director, Election Law at Law Moritz College of Law advises that

Blogs at both the Plain Dealer and Dispatch are reporting Republican cross-over votes in the Democratic candidate for
Senator Clinton on the ground that she would be an easier nominee for Senator McCain to beat.
It is unclear how widespread this phenomenon is and whether, if calculable, could make a difference in either the
statewide total popular vote or the awarding of delegates between Senators Clinton and Obama.
There is also the question whether it is legal, and if not, whether it is remediable in any way....

Rush Limbaugh: In the days running up to these last primaries, Rush Limbaugh told his national audience of conservatives to vote for Hillary Clinton

I want Hillary to stay in this, Laura. This is too good a soap opera. We need Barack Obama bloodied up politically, and it's obvious that the Republicans are not going to do it and don't have the stomach for it, as you probably know. We're getting all kinds of memos from the RNC, saying we're not going to be critical there. Mark McKinnon of McCain's campaign says he'll quit if they get critical over Obama. This is the presidency of the United States we're talking about. I want our party to win. I want the Democrats to lose. They're in the midst of tearing themselves apart right now. It is fascinating to watch, and it's all going to stop if Hillary loses. So, yeah, I'm asking people to cross over and, if they can stomach it -- I know it's a difficult thing to do, to vote for a Clinton, but it will sustain this soap opera, and it's something I think we need. It would be fun, too.

23. Check the links, listen to the audio - dirty deeds done dirt cheap

pretty dirty

[WillYourVoteBCounted]

25. sorry, edited op to add link to Limpballs webpage for 3/4 show

didn't realize I left that out first go round.

[lligrd]

2. While Knowing Rush Told His Audience To Vote For Hillary

They obviously don't care if they have to cheat to win. Or they really are all in it together.

[TwilightGardener]

13. Read my other post below--Rush "planned" to be sick and have a substitute--

this was all planned.

[Medusa]

3. Why is this so shocking?

They're already buddy-buddy with Rupert Murdoch and Karl Rove.

[niceypoo]

42. Limbaugh has been sliming and smearing the Clintons for almost 20 years

Now he shares that activity with you.

[pdxmom]

4. And I'm not surprised in the least. N/T

[sasha031]

5. that is disturbing

I don't understand the Clinton's, I don't understand winning at any cost.

Being anywhere near the Limbaugh's of the world would require gallons of disinfectant.

[skooooo]

6. Funny thing is now Hillary supporters hate Olbermann...

...Randi Rhodes, Jon Stewert, and all the other left wingers who see Hillary for what she is and are calling her on it.

So now will Hillary supporters flock to Rush???

[Nitrogenica]

8. It's over if they turn on our heroes!

I'm sorry but hating Olbermann or Stewart is too over the top for me.

That's where I decide to start ignoring mass quantities of Hillary supporters here.

Snuff them out!

[skooooo]

24. Well it's over then...

Flip those pancakes!

[DangerousRhythm]

47. Flippin' pancakes...

Just don't fall off the stage doing it a la Gary Bauer. Speaking of, why is that hilarious pratfall not on Youtube? Someone fix this, stat.

[annie1]

36. Happy to say I never liked Olbermann.

[jgraz]

49. You're assuming they're not already fans.

MegaDittos Hillary!!

[Road Scholar]

7. It's like they would lie, cheat, steal and now, sell their souls. nt

[Ichingcarpenter]

9. More than a dozen rural counties had

Absolutely no votes for Republicans that day even though
the counties had an overwhelming majority registered republicans
and a Republican primary was occurring that day.

ZERO votes for republicans.

[jgraz]

50. That speaks to something a helluva lot more nefarious than a Limbaugh-led putsch

Exactly which machines were counting the votes in those counties?

[DJ13]

10. Pandering of the WORST kind

"Please Republicans, turn out and vote for my wife today so you'll have a Clinton around in November to whip up your base to get out and vote for McCain in the GE"

Thats disgusting, but not surprising.

The GOP's long term "hatred" of the Clintons has always been a symbiotic relationship that fed the interests of both the Clintons and the GOP at the expense of the Democratic Party.

[Dogmudgeon]

11. Every one of you listened to the whole interview already? Wow!

I am impressed!

Can someone give us a synopsis?

--p!

[lligrd]

18. Why Would We?

Bill was obviously not speaking to us. He was speaking to Ditto-Heads and trying to get them to help Hillary steal the Democratic nomination. There is no excuse for this.

[TwilightGardener]

12. Rush was saying the day before that he felt a "flu" coming on, and

then Tuesday he was "sick" and had the substitute host, and then Wednesday he was back to crow about his achievement in getting Hillary elected. If this is true, that this was all planned, then I don't have any words that I can say out loud on this forum without getting banned.

[lligrd]

16. I Think Many Of Us Have Thought That Some Dems

have been in cahoots with the neocons for some time. This just confirms our suspicions. Bill did more for the Republicans than most of their Presidents have been able to and their hatred of him has always seemed a bit suspicious to me. Hillary's voting record just adds to these suspicions.

[TwilightGardener]

21. Limbaugh had his best years with the Clintons, and now apparently

the Clintons have ignored all his bashing of them in order to use his show to get Repubs to cross over, even though those stupid Repubs have no intention of voting for her in the fall. And yet, the Clintons take offense at people like David Schuster and Samantha Power. Every day I achieve new levels of disgust for this family. They constantly wink at Republicans--they and the GOP need each other, apparently.

[lligrd]

22. Yep, It's Like It Is A Private Game That None Of The Rest Of

us are welcome to play except as pawns.

[fujiyama]

43. It was Clinton's first Secretay of Defense (Les Aspen)

that allowed Rush to be broadcast on Armed Forces Radio, influencing many in the military to distrust Bill Clinton.

And now this...it's like the two sides prey off each other in some bizarre game. I think this just shows that the Clintons are willing to go anywhere for votes, even if they aren't even sincerely cast for them!

[blm]

29. Better a Dem president deep-six BCCI matters than Bush1 get impeached for them, eh?

How much obvious does it need to get for people?

Whitewater covered for Bushies getting into Rose Law Firm and scrubbing Jackson Stephens files claen of all his dealings with GHWBush and BCCI matters.

[madrchsod]

58. it`s really tough broadcasting from his home

[TwilightGardener]

14. BTW, Laura Ingraham had Terry McAuliffe on to shill for Hillary on that Tuesday as well.

[IsItJustMe]

17. The long slow sleezy ride down to the bottom of the hill. Almost sad in a way.

[grantcart]

19. hmmmmmmmmmmmmm

[Laelth]

26. That can't be right.

Just another item to add to my list. Here: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x4963377

It seems the DLC really is trying to destroy the party. I can hardly believe it.

:shrug:

27. Maybe he stopped by to take a dump - Excrement in Broadcasting

Ya never know.

[skooooo]

28. Is MSM talking about this??

[BumRushDaShow]

30. Am listening to the interview now.

How disgusting. Free press no matter who is willing to give it to them. They have hit the bottom of the barrel now. :puke:

[frylock]

31. kick

[creeksneakers2]

32. I'm sorry. You've been fooled by the compulsive liar Limbaugh

Many others here were also fooled because they are too anxious to believe anything negative about Bill Clinton.

You can look again. The headline - EIB Guest Host While Rush Is Sick
Mark Davis of WBAP Dallas/Ft. Worth

• Mark Interviews Bill Clinton (no, really)

The headline does not say the interview was on Rush's show. It says that the purported interviewer was a guest host on Rush's show. If you follow the link, its to a local radio station where the guest host usually works. The interview was broadcast on a local radio station, not Rush Limbaugh.

Even that is dishonest though, because what you are listening to is not a real interview. Campaigns and public relations offices make tapes of sound bites they'd like to have on the air and send them out to every radio station in the state. Stations who want to get away with it just insert their own announcers voice in between the taped quotes. They make it sound like a real interview. I used to work in a PR office and it was amazing how many radio stations used the PR tapes that way.

The dead giveaways are no introduction where Clinton says the hosts name, no quick back and forth conversational banter, canned questions that a fascist talk show host with a chance to get Bill Clinton would never ask, no follow ups, no goodbye that said the hosts name or thank you for letting me on WBAP.

Please do not believe anything you read on RushLimbaugh.com. Its all lies created by propaganda masters. I follow the show and its amazing what lengths they'll go to to disinform. They are extremely clever at it. If Bill Clinton really went on the Rush Limbaugh show you'd hear about it all over the place.

[spoony]

41. Thank you for clearing that up

Like you said, if it had really happened everyone would be talking about it. Either that or no one would be because the universe would have ended!

[Horse with no Name]

64. Not only that

But Mark Davis has the #1 Talk Show in Dallas.

Let's not forget that.

[anonymous171]

33. WTF!>!>!@#!@# 352ui34y53iurthkjsdhb

I can't even explain how confused and angry I am right now. Mostly confused I guess.

[MonkeyFunk]

45. see post 32

[southerncrone]

34. Are the Clintons lining up behind Lieberman to

switch over to the R side?

What else does this say? For Bill Clinton to even give Limpballs the time of day is shocking after all the horrible & often untrue things he said about Bill in the past on his show.

Just amazing.

There is only one party apparently.:(

[althecat]

35. KnR

[istopforcookies]

37. Being voting for Senator Clinton instead of annointing Saint

Obama is cheating!

Really?

...

Nope. Try again.

[Swamp Rat]

38. That wasn't the Rush Limbaugh Show. That was the Mark Davis Show.

[WillYourVoteBCounted]

40. Rhsh was sick, Mark Davis filled in, its all on Rush Limbaugh's website

Check the links in the OP, they back up what the OP says.

[Catherina]

44. Here's a screenshot of Rush's site that day.

The cockroaches are a real nice touch. The Clintons have no self respect.

[WillYourVoteBCounted]

66. I missed this 1st go round: "nervous dittoheads prepare to cross over for Clinton"

wow, thanks for doing screen shot.

[New Dawn]

39. Wow, they've even endorsed Rush Limbaugh over Obama.

I wonder if George Bush will be praised by the Clintons next? Hillary did vote for his war after all...

[NM Independent]

46. I don't care how it happened...

...or who was interviewing.

To allow that to happen is just damn dumb, and shows the ineptitude for taking care of business.

I am done defending Bill. I have seen so much of the light over the past few months when it comes to the Clintons. It was once much honor and respect, and defending them against my RW family. No More!!!

I've seen their true colors.

FWIW, I am no Obamabot. He is too much of a Corporatist, but he's a lot better than anything we've had a chance at in decades. I was fully behind my Governer, Bill Richardson, who was the clear choice out of the beginning lineup. Nobody else could have handed McCain his ass on National Security. I would have take Edwards as a second pick. Obama is okay with me.

However, I never wanted to see Clinton in this. As my wife said, and I quote, "I would love to vote for a woman for president, but she just isn't good enough to be the first. The first one needs to be, well, the equivalent of Barak Obama, and she is NO Barak Obama."

Clearly my wife is an Obama fan.

[MonkeyFunk]

51. Except Bill Clinton was not on the Rush Limbaugh show

see post 32.

You guys will believe any lie that confirms your prejudice.

[BumRushDaShow]

53. If this man was a GUEST HOST

then his show's FEED was remotely redirected out over Rush's satellite feed to the stations that broadcast him.

What? You think that Rush's timeslot was dead air for 3 hours while he was out? :eyes:

Sadly, but more for knowing what my enemy is thinking, I have been listening to Rush for 20 years - since his very first broadcast on WABC in 1988 when he booted Lynn Samuels out of her noon slot. He has had guest hosts all the time, whether they actually broadcast from the show's home station (WABC, although he broadcasts from Florida now but occasionally travels to NYC for a show once or twice a month) or broadcasting from their own studios - and it all goes out over Clear Channel stations, etc. during his slot.

[creeksneakers2]

55. There is no reason to believe the interview took place

on the same day the guest host was on. That's assuming there even was an interview. There wasn't. The tape is just edited in questions to a tape sent out in mass release by the Clinton campaign. Such things occur as often as newspapers run press releases.

If a wingnut radio talk show host ever got a chance to interview Clinton he'd definitely ask about the clenis the whole time. Wingnuts are obsessed with the clenis.

You sound like you are very familiar with Limbaugh and I note your screen name. You should be aware that there are only three things on Rush's show - lies, hatred, and Rush's self worship. If Bill Clinton ever went on that show you'd hear about it. Google News it. See if its reported anywhere. And they'd definitely make a bigger deal about it on the Rush website.

[Kelvin Mace]

61. I've emailed the Clinton campaign

and asked if your story was true, this was a "canned" interview. No response yet.

If true, I expect the Clinton campaign to DISAVOW the interview.

But let's take a look at another Limbaugh-Clinton encounter, once actually between Limbaugh and Clinton.

And since there has NEVER been a denial of the story by the Clintons, one must assume the essentials are true. The story was reported in the media at the time.

This looming presence, I look up, and, golly, if it isn't former President Bill Clinton. He's got a big smile on his face, and I look up, and I imagine I was somewhat startled. I looked up, and I couldn't hear what he was saying because of the noise in there. So I'm turning my head, my left ear to him so I could hear a little bit more, and he said, "You're looking great. You're tan, fit, you look very good out there." I reached out my hand, "Mr. President, it's a pleasure to meet you." We shook hands and so forth, and he hung around for I guess two or three minutes, maybe five. I lost track of time. Then he and his party went and sat at a table behind me and to the left.

The woman I'm with is saying, "Whoa! Does this happen to you all the time?"

"Ah, yeah, constantly. I can't go anywhere."

So about ten minutes later I become aware again of another looming presence at my table, and I look up, and it's former President Bill Clinton. A second time, he has stopped at my table. The first time he stopped while walking in. The second time he actually left his table, came to my table, and he's got another guy standing with him, and the guy looks familiar, but I can't place him. I can't hear the introduction.

So I'm shaking hands and so forth, and this man is going on and on and on about how excited he is to meet me. He wanted to meet me, and the former president brought him over. When the former president told him I was there, he said, "I have to meet Mr. Limbaugh."

http://www.rushlimbaugh.com/home/letters/Rush_Meets_Former_President_Bill_Clinton.guest.html

In Clinton's shoes, I would have punched Limbaugh out. End of story. The man is scum, and yet Clinton sucks up to him.

[Fleshdancer]

48. The more republicans voting in the TX primary the better....

this means they weren't able to vote for republicans in the local races too. Knowing this makes me very happy. :D

[mtnsnake]

52. Another lying POS post by an Obamabite. Anything goes when it comes to hating Clintons

[Unsane]

56. how is it a lie?

[mtnsnake]

57. see post 32

[Kelvin Mace]

62. Post 32 was rebutted.

[WillYourVoteBCounted]

67. "nervous dittoheads prepare to crossover for Clinton"

read it and weep.

[stillrockin]

54. Somehow, this comes as less than a shock to me.

[goldcanyonaz]

59. An interview created by using sound bites? Are we really so easily fooled around here...

[tbyg52]

60. What is anyone who calls himself a Democrat doing on that show???? nt

[AtomicKitten]

63. A most unholy alliance that should give Democrats pause.
