Rush Limbaugh: Obama Probably Thinks Tea Party Blew Up the Rig
Posted by Jim Hoft on Saturday, May 1, 2010, 8:08 AM
Limbaugh mocked Obama’s dreadful response to the oil rig disaster yesterday…
Send in SWAT… Those violent grandmas are at it again.
From the Rush Limbaugh website:
Ladies and gentlemen, I didn’t hear this myself, but I have been informed that President Obama is sending SWAT teams to the Gulf oil rigs. SWAT teams? I’m waiting on audio sound bite confirmation of this, but why in the world would you send SWAT teams to Gulf oil rigs? Oh, I know! Obama probably thinks the tea party blew up the rig. That’s what it is. (laughing) Yes. Of course the tea party did it! (laughing) Seriously, you know, this rig… We had this call from a guy out there who said nobody’s talking about whether this was an act of sabotage because I guess they can’t prove it, but they’re going to send SWAT teams down there? He was going to send a SWAT team to the rig that blew up or are you going to send a SWAT team to other rigs? What’s going on here? Remember, this rig blew April 21st, which is one day prior to “Erf” Day.
I have a story here from Reuters, September 24th, 2008 (shuffling paper) right here in my formerly nicotine-stained fingers: “Nobel Peace Prize winner and environmental crusader Al Gore urged young people on Wednesday to engage in civil disobedience to stop the construction of coal plants without the ability to store carbon.” So you got the guru here urging civil disobedience, you got the regime sending SWAT teams down there to all the rigs in the Gulf. They’re sending SWAT teams to all the rigs in the Gulf! Whoa ho-ho-ho. So obviously Obama thinks the tea partiers are expert scuba divers as well or maybe they have their own fleet of underwater submarines that can go deep enough to go undetected, set explosives, and hightail it back to the protests in Ohio, or wherever they (laughing) happen to be.
So 15 years of no global warming. “That’s just anecdotal! It doesn’t disapprove anything! It doesn’t disapprove that there’s a man-made threat going on.” But one oil spill — one oil spill which might have been intentional — is enough to prove that offshore oil drilling is unsafe and should never be done. This is the logic we’re forced to live with.
More… Rush Limbaugh also mocked Obama’s sideshow press conference on his show.
“This guy does really not want to be president. He doesn’t want to deal with America’s problems. He wants to make sure he gets his transformation done. So, we had an oil slick, added benefit… Now we can cancel offshore drilling.”

Those darned dangerous tea partiers. They may look old in their polyester dress and canes, but you know that it’s just a costume.
Pat the First commented:
I am not a conspiratorist. I think those kinds of things are not productive.
However, I think that is quite a fortunate coincidence for the “greenies” and B.O.’s administration that probably the worst oil rig disaster happens when it appears maybe that we can get some relief with more drilling. The problem is that IF (and that is a big IF) this disaster was cause by eco-terrorism, it will never be investigated. This administration will not probe the cause.
I do hope it was just an accidentally explosion. If it was a criminal act, it will happen again. We have had eco-terrorism activity in my state. They will destroy anything.
Joan of Argghh! commented:
Oh, that’s nothing. Wild rumors abound in the Kremlin as the idea of sabotage by North Korea. Great Saturday morning reading for spy-novel fans!
Steve commented:
18,000 feet of “pay” (is that the right term?) and no one had enough notice to pass along that something wasn’t right? No opportunity to hit a panic button? No survivors? OK…I can buy that, but no bodies?
I’m struggling with this one….just sayin’ that it’s quite a coincidence.

From Saul Alinsky‘s “Rules for Radicals”
“Does this particular end justify this particular means?”
_ The judgment of the ethics of means is dependent upon the political position of those sitting in judgment.
_ In war, the end justifies almost any means.
_ Judgment must be made in the context of the times in which the action occurred and not from any other chronological vantage point.
_ Concern with ethics increases with the number of means available and vice versa.
_ The less important the end to be desired, the more one can afford to engage in ethical evaluations of means.
_ Generally, success or failure is a mighty determinant of ethics.
_ The morality of a means depends upon whether the means is being employed at a time of imminent defeat or imminent victory.
_ Any effective means is automatically judged by the opposition as being unethical.
_ You do what you can with what you have and clothe it with moral garments.
_ Goals must be phrased in general terms like “Liberty, Equality, Fraternity,” “Of the Common Welfare,” “Pursuit of Happiness,” or “Bread and Peace.”
Jean commented:
I was thinking why Cuba, NK, and Venezuela would want to attack America after Obama kissed their butts and then it dawned on me perhaps he asked them to do this for him.
Toejam commented:
This incident was the brainchild of the Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad who was aided by the Venezuelan President Hugo Rafael Chávez.
The talk of America blockading Iran and stopping the shipments of refined gasoline into the country and crude oil out prompted President Ahmadinejad to plan a pre-emtive incident, which would damage American oil supply and create a very costly clean-up.
This will not be the only act of Iranian terrorism. There are Iranian operatives in Cuba, Mexico and several other central and South American countries awaiting the go-ahead from Ahmadinejad……..
This is the beginning of the assault on the American mainland and President obama knows more than he’ll admit to.
I’ve heard, from credible sources in government, that the oil rig destruction was done by a special Iranian Quds force (equivalent of the Navy SEALS) who were preparing for some time in Venezuela and were transported to within 2-miles of the rig by Venezulean patrol boats. They then used rebreathing scuba gear to approach the rig and placed about 50-pounds of C-4 (plastique) in various places on the rig and the bore pipe. They then withdrew back 2-miles and boarded the Venezulan patrol craft before remotely detonating the explosives.

aprilnovember811 commented:
If this was an act of sabatoge, which I think it was, we’ll never know with the perpetrators, investigating it. There isn’t one person in this country, with any authority who will challenge this guy, and hold him accountable. He could start shooting people in the street, like they do in Iran, and all we’d hear out of the mouths of judges, and congress, is, “I like him, and vote in November.”
The Polish President and his family, and cabinet die after the signing of that idiot start treaty, and an oil rig blows up when he wants to pass his cap and tax(spread the wealth to Al Gore, Goldman Sachs, and me,)bill. A lot of coincidental things go wrong when this Kenyan despot is involved. Don’t worry though, Orin Hatch said on Greta, “I like him.” uhhh
If you like this guy, you have doofas written all over you.
Jean commented:
Now I question what Iran and Syria have in store for us, as we all know how much Obama loves to kiss their butt.
JAY commented:
It was two guys in purple shirts. They called the oil rig the n-word…. Oh never mind.

[The department deployed SWAT teams from the Minerals Management Service to inspect 30 drilling rigs operating in the deepwater sections of
the Gulf of Mexico. Inspections should be completed within the next week, according to an Interior Department spokeswoman.]

Thanks Toejam, you answered my question.
I pray that this is Obamas Waterloo. It would be great if this incident brought Obamas regime down.
Sandy commented:
Greenies and Granny’s are causing the undoing of Obama’s Presidency.
Sandy commented:
Obama wants to blame the oil spill on Haliburton and Dick Cheney. For every disaster someone needs to be blamed — cause of course the buck never stops with Obama.
Jean commented:
bg | #18
Do you think they will look for anything they can find wrong with these rigs to support their claim that it was safety violations instead of Saboteurs?
Sandy commented:
As Rush said yesterday Obama doesn’t want to govern this country. All he wants is power based on his leftist idealogy.
But a funny thing happened on the way to Obama’s Power Trip — Reality set in.

[“I did not worry because my family was now in the good hands, the hands of America and the hands of freedom,” he told the crowd. He had lost his country, but the sailors honored him with a pair of Navy pilot wings, he said to cheers.
The carrier’s air boss manning the flight-control tower that day, Vern Jumper, remembers the haunted look in the eyes of the refugees flown onto the ship. The Midway crew had pushed helicopters into the sea to make way for others running low on fuel while ferrying the last evacuees, he said.
“It was a very sad day, sad for the refugees and so many young kids scared
to death. And the senior citizens, they didn’t know where they were going,” Jumper recalled.
The bulk of the refugees settled in Orange County, in the area around Westminster known as Little Saigon. Busloads of them, many now American citizens, visited the Midway to observe the 35th anniversary. The ship is now a museum docked in San Diego — home to one of the nation’s largest concentrations of Vietnamese-Americans.
Many children in the crowd, clutching both the U.S. flag and the yellow-and-red-striped standard of the fallen Republic of Vietnam, were born long after the war ended.
Other guests, including Dai Ly Nguyen, 71, weren’t lucky enough to find a place on the departing Navy ships. Nguyen, who attended the event wearing a black beret and camouflage, videotaped the program and sang loudly when the Republic of Vietnam anthem was played.
Nguyen said he was imprisoned for being a major in the South Vietnamese army, spending nine years after U.S. forces withdrew in “re-education camps.”
“Even after we left the camps, all of Vietnam was one big jail,” Nguyen said.]
what a memorable story.. which is why it won’t be big news on tragedy tv, nothing even remotely great about America is ever allowed to top Obama’s degradation of US via the MSM..
thanks for sharing..

[A grim report circulating in the Kremlin today written by Russia’s Northern Fleet is reporting that the United States has ordered a complete media blackout over North Korea’s torpedoing of the giant Deepwater Horizon oil platform owned by the World’s largest offshore drilling contractor Transocean that was built and financed by South Korea’s Hyundai Heavy Industries Co. Ltd., that has caused great loss of life, untold billions in economic damage to the South Korean economy, and an environmental catastrophe to the United States.
Most important to understand about this latest attack by North Korea against its South Korean enemy is that under the existing “laws of war” it was a permissible action as they remain in a state of war against each other due to South Korea’s refusal to sign the 1953 Armistice ending the Korean War.
To the attack itself, these reports continue, the North Korean “cargo vessel” Dai Hong Dan believed to be staffed by 17th Sniper Corps “suicide” troops left Cuba’s Empresa Terminales Mambisas de La Habana (Port of Havana) on April 18th whereupon it “severely deviated” from its intended course for Venezuela’s Puerto Cabello bringing it to within 209 kilometers (130 miles) of the Deepwater Horizon oil platform which was located 80 kilometers (50 miles) off the coast of the US State of Louisiana where it launched an SSC Sang-o Class Mini Submarine (Yugo class) estimated to have an operational range of 321 kilometers (200 miles).]

“Bill Maher: But I’ll tell you who I’m really mad at which is Barack Obama. Couple of weeks ago, the President, our President said, “It turns out the oil rigs today generally don’t cause oil spills. They are technologically very advanced.” Now if, if I was quoting George Bush, this crowd would be laughing in hysterics.
So, why isn’t Barack Obama getting more s##t for this? I think he should.

We have a strategy drawn up for the destruction of Anglo-Saxon civilization… we must make use of everything we have at hand to strike at this front by means of our suicide operations or by means of our missiles. There are 29 sensitive sites in the U.S. and in the West. We have already spied on these sites and we know how we are going to attack them.

Obama is the NWO “transitioner”.. ergo, even if we have to undergo a more severe attack than we did on 9/11 (which btw we got lucky because they only managed to murder approx 3 thou vs 60)..

The media was tripping over itself in front of Ft. Hood, a swarm of incompetants. Took what two days to get the straight story?
The media silence about this is telling.
Obama sent SWAT teams – is that an admission it was sabotage and the gov’t expects more? The media is mumbling – that’s the word – mumbling – about “rigs have a long safety record” but never really finish the point. Yeh, so do planes, outstanding actually, but they don’t fly well when a bomb’s been detonated on board.
Seems that the most secure drilling would then be … on land in ALaska, Colorado …
Like Albright’s cold comment about dead Iraqi chidlren, are the Demcorats willing to sacrifice a million birds, two milllion dolphins and the entire shrimp population to their causes if it helps them achieve their goals? Hmmm.
