Borrowed from Orcinus :

“It began on Monday, after the military coup in Honduras. Limbaugh went on the air and said this:
Limbaugh: So we’ve got hell breaking loose in Honduras. You know what we learned about Honduras? We learned the Obama administration tried to stop the coup. Now what was — the coup was what many of you wish would happen here, without the military.

The next day, describing Obama talking to troops about the withdrawal from Iraq, he described the president thus:
“This is a guy who sought their defeat.”

And then Wednesday, he expanded on these thoughts even further:
This is Barack Obama, who led from the United States Senate his party into doing everything he could to ensure the defeat of the U.S. military. … This party was doing everything it could to impugn and dishonor the military.
On Thursday Limbaugh added to the litany in a much more explicit fashion:
“Limbaugh: And if we had any good luck, Honduras would send some people here and help us get our government back.”

I’m pretty sure this is what Limbaugh would have called treason back when his party was in power. Just as Republicans would have denounced any leftwinger who’d said an attack on America would be a good thing. Or the endless talk of secession on shows like Hannity’s or Beck’s. Or if Michelle Obama had been actively involved in a secessionist party the way Todd Palin was for years.

I have no idea if Limbaugh, Beck, etc. genuinely delude themselves into thinking that switching from Government Is Your Enemy to Anyone Who Questions Our Leaders Is Your Enemy actually represents some sort of coherent position, or if they’re simply telling their audience what they want to hear.

They’re full of crap either way.
