Rush Limbaughis becoming the face of the GOP

[Oh, Gee!!]

Free Speech... anybody on the left ever heard of that...

yeah, we're engaging in it.

[ClingingMars]

Yeah he does. You totally get what what you see with him.

Savage is smart, knowledgeable, entertaining...and emotionally unstable. In spite of his homicidal truculence and rather extreme intolerance, I find him likeable, and I enjoy listening to his show.

The DCCC’s anti-Rush ad is a wonderfully laughable effort. What office is Mr. Limbaugh running for? Who is the Democrat opposing him?

For the last eight years, the Left’s efforts were almost uniformly focused on demonizing former President Bush; now, with him out of the picture, it appears that Mr. Limbaugh is next on the list to be targeted.

That’s fine; every dime and minute spent targeting Mr. Limbaugh is a dime and a minute spent neither opposing a Republican actually running for office, nor articulating a vision for actually leading America forward.

Democrats spent the last eight years opposing the administration and putting forth their best efforts to obstruct progress. Despite the fact that they now hold both the White House and commanding majorities in the House and Senate — and with those, the responsibility to actually produce solutions and sustainable policies that will benefit Americans as a whole — the Democrats seem unable to break out of their habit of behaving like a minority party, pointing fingers, assigning blame, and demanding bipartisan cover for policy proposals they claimed to strongly believe in (just not strongly enough to pass them without opposition support).

So I guess since you had a problem with the dems obstructing the process you now expect the GOP to act in a bipartisan fashion. Would that be correct?

Not only that, his claims of the Left obstructing 'progress' are re ed... Bush got his Iraq war with support from the dems... even more, Bush got his corporation bailout and telecom immunity even when the dems had majority in congress... Did they demonize Bush? Sure. But you can't claim they didn't went along with his administration...

Please remind us what amazing legislation was passed when Republicans were in complete control of the government.

And yes, anti-Rush ads are stupid and Obama was wrong for calling him out by name. The Republicans flamed out and lost so horribly because of their own stupidity and hubris. All Rush really does is remind people of that, so if Democrats want to retain power, they should let him continue unfettered.

So long we're all agreed Hannity is a moron, I can move on from this.

...Rush is a phony and a wide majority of people see that....and it's not hard for most people to make the intellectual leap from Rush to the GOP leadership....

[spurster]

As long as the Democrats can maintain Rush = GOP, it is good for the Democrats. But with an African-American party chairman and movement on issues for women and minorities, the GOP can make a lot of headway.

BTW, voting for discrimination (against the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act) was not a good start.

[Nbadan]

The USA now has a clear choice, and even Rove can't spin it: We are a nation facing the choice of coming together as represented by Barack Obama, or as a country led by the forces of Rush Limbaugh, and his army of orcs (Hannity, O'Reilly, Crowley, Levin, ad infinitum from the Reich Wing cookie cutter).

They are putting all their eggs in the Limbaugh basket, and he can't handle it. The GOP has turned itself over to Rush Limbaugh, not Michael Steele. And they are likely to continue to perish as a result....
