No to be outdone by the groveling apology of Michael Steele, Rep. Alan Grayson (D-FL) issued the following statement late Tuesday:

“I’m sorry Limbaugh called for harsh sentences for drug addicts while he was a drug addict. I’m also sorry that he’s bent on seeing America fail. And I’m sorry that Limbaugh is one sorry excuse for a human being.”

I am not a supporter of Rush. I dont listen to Rush. Heck I dont listen to the radio or own one. I am a supporter of free speech

But I am also sick of people twisting other peoples words. Rush did NOT say he wants America to fail he wants socialism to fail as does many people including me

It worked for many years and we created a superpower in this world. It has ups and downs. Happens all the time and we have always got better. This is nothing new that has not happened in the past and we came out stronger then before. I am worried that is not going to happen this time. It is an attack on capitalist and bring in socialism. Its now dont worry about improving your life or pushing to be better. Dont worry you dont have to the gov will provide for you.

The "socialism" that you are condemning is exactly what America does all the time. By your definition - that President Obama's plans are "socialistic" - then we already are socialistic. So if you want that "socialism" to fail, then you want America to fail.

"I hope Obama fails. Somebody's got to say it."

Hoping the President fails means the country will fail.

Yes, thanks to some 50 years of primarily Democrat party control, American has been growing increasingly socialist. That is because socialism creates dependency on the government, and gives government power over the people -- of which the Democrats want and need in order to stay relevant.

No system is perfect, but socialism is far less perfect than capitalism! If the country goes socialist (as Obama's plans call for) then America will be a different country. The America we all knew will have failed.
