Christine O’Donnell’s primary victory Tuesday night has sparked nothing short of a mini GOP civil war, with Sarah Palin and Karl Rove on opposing sides after Rove criticized Palin-backed O’Donnell after her win. Now Rush Limbaugh has entered the fray on his radio show Wednesday, outraged at what he sees as Rove’s lack of support for the party.
"If 51 seats was really the objective -- if getting the majority is really that important, then let's go balls to the wall for Christine O'Donnell!" Limbaugh screamed, “Why not fight for it? Why not fight for it? Castle's OK as the 51st vote but this woman isn't?"
He continued by specifically calling out Rove’s attack, in which Rove referenced the "nutty things" O'Donnell has said in the past.
"Everyone I know that saw this was just--they were perplexed and said, 'What's going on? Why is he so mad at a Republican?'" Rush said of Rove. "Where was this anger directed at a Democrat ever?"
Meanwhile, Bill O’Reilly had Palin herself on his show Wednesday night. He attempted to make peace between the former governor and Rove, both Fox News contributors, claiming that their “value systems” aren’t “all that different.” Palin, however, was not having it.

I think it's past time to give Greg Gutfeld Ted Baxter's time slot and show him the door. Why must he always talk over someone's reponse to his question, and it's always worse with a woman.
Limbaugh is so much smarter than o;reily and has hammered the RINOS.
How can you lose your home and claim it was a “bank error?”
What’s the story behind that?
Where does O’Reilly get the idea that Rove want’s a smaller government. Or even that he’s conservative? I don’t see any evidence of that myself.
Rush is right... where has KrazyKarl been with O’Donnell-esque criticism of any Demonrat????
She didn’t.
It’s not true.
Well, then what actually happened?
Anything but the Blowhard Oriely. Now that he has a new book it will be twice as unbearable.
I’m too tired to search for the articles that were posted today, and I don’t recall posting a comment on any of them. I think STARWISE might have pinged me. If she’s here, maybe she will recall the titles/headlines.
Well, I must say that I saw Christine O’Donnell interviewed on television a couple of times, and she did not get my interest.
What bearing does the answer to that question have on whether Christine O'Donnell will fight for conservative principles and uphold the Constitution in the US Senate?
Rush was on fire today in his analysis and response to the “Ruling Class Republicans” treatment of the Tea Party wins in the Primaries. Especially where it concerned Rove.
Rove was disgusting. Cornyn was a big disappointment. But neither were really that big a surprise. I wrote off the RNC and the HRSC 14 yrs ago.
Now, if the Republicans FAIL to take Congress back — the blame rests SQUARELY on the shoulders of the RULING CLASS — NOT the Tea Parties.
Yost your home and you don’t know why? It matters because of PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY.
“I think it’s past time to give Greg Gutfeld Ted Baxter’s time slot...”
Great idea.
It’s apparent the GOP establishment only wants a majority if it includes a bunch of liberals.
Ted Kennedy's seat went to a Repub (Rino) because people are fed up with whats going on.
The more conservative republican won in Delaware, because people want what the tea party's are preaching.
Sarah is influencing things because people are relating to her, like they relate to the tea partys.
If you look at Rasmussens presidential polls, you can see that all the independents have left Obama. All he has left are his base. Forget trying to "appeal" to the middle. People don't want anything that looks like whats going on now. Candidates that seperate themselves noticably from whats going on are going to be the big winners.
If people thought the last election was about voting for the Not Bush, this election is a giant HELL NO! to anything resembling or affiliated or even cordial to Obama.
His book, “Who's Looking Out For You?” should be required reading for children by their parents.
This is less about Palin and O’Donnel vs. Rove and the RNC - - this is about the Country Class vs. the Ruling Class.
You can paint Mr. Rove with the deepest of Red hues and have him recall his Texas twang - but he’s still just as much a part of the elitist Ruling Class as John Kerry and Mitt Romney are.
And that’s what this is going to come down to. It may take more than one election cycle, but the Ruling Class is in deep trouble, red and blue alike.
I find it fascinating that so many establishment GOPers appear to hate the TEA Party almost as much as liberal Democrats... to the point where they have threatend refusing support to some legitimate primary winners. Why do they prefer continued Democrat control to having a few TEA party types in their midst? Does this tell us VOLUMES about the inside game D.C. has become?! And set the battle lines for a real revolution against the self-appointed “ruling class” (be they DEM or REP) attempts at tyranny.
