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.”
The words above appeared as the lead paragraph of a must-read article by Fox News’ Bill Sammon which conservative radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh mentioned on his show just before pausing for an “obscene profit timeout (a.k.a., “commercial message”) at Noon Central.
It shows as clearly as is possible the double standard that exists when it comes to the coverage given liberals and conservatives by members of the mostly-liberal mainstream news media.
Read it and share it today!

You don’t get it.
Did Carville wish Bush to “not succeed” with respect to a national crisis?
No.
Carville’s comments were BEFORE the 9/11 attacks. He retracted them immediately after the 9/11 attacks (within minutes), and like the rest of the nation, stood beside his President.
Carville’s retraction PROVES the liberal’s point about Limbaugh, rather than the opposite. Limbaugh worships party above country.

K Ashford,
Hardly! It merely proves complicity on the part of so-called “journalists” in the mainstream news media.

I like how liberals twist truth to fit their pathetic, failed, hypocritical template, as your commenter above did.
I’ll go on record by saying that I hope Barry Soetero fails, too: his policies are taking us on the road to ruin. And yes, I hope that trip fails.
