THE FOOD FIGHT CONTINIUES

Yesterday, Lou Dobbs spoke out against those who are hoping that Obama fails and that makes 2 wingers who openly disagree with Fats Limbaugh. Fats and Hannity even took a hit from a Republican Congressman:

Limbaugh takes a hit from Gingrey

The Politico

Responding to President Barack Obama’s recommendation to Republican congressional leaders last week that they not follow Limbaugh’s lead, the conservative talkmeister said on his show that Obama is “obviously more frightened of me than he is Mitch McConnell. He’s more frightened of me than he is of, say, John Boehner, which doesn’t say much about our party.”

Rep. Phil Gingrey (R-Ga.), who heads the conservative Republican Study Committee, did not take kindly to this assessment in an interview with Politico Tuesday.

“I think that our leadership, Mitch McConnell and John Boehner, are taking the right approach,” Gingrey said.

I mean, it’s easy if you’re Sean Hannity or Rush Limbaugh or even sometimes Newt Gingrich to stand back and throw bricks. You don’t have to try to do what’s best for your people and your party.You know you’re just on these talk shows and you’re living well and plus you stir up a bit of controversy and gin the base and that sort of thing. But when it comes to true leadership, not that these people couldn’t be or wouldn’t be good leaders, they’re not in that position of John Boehner or Mitch McConnell.”

Mark "Foamer" Levin was upset with Gingrey for pointing out that Fats and Hannity are really just gasbags and promised that he and others would strongly defend Fats. He even had one of his flunkies place a call to Gingrey to try to get him to do an interview.
