Title should be "Getting Higher". They are wishing they would have never took the hit. Becoming a bad trip for them.

Senator Harkin lied about his military service, and he is lying about what Rush Limbaugh said. He is engaging in what liberals like to call “McCarthyism”. If anyone should be censured, it’s Harkin and Media Matters.

[goldstategop]

They're running against Rush even though he's not a candidate for public office. The Democrats think the way to win in 2008 is to all pile on America's most popular radio broadcaster. This is too good for them to give up.

This borders on and was certainly headed toward gov’t censorship. With Hillary and a Dem congress in ‘08 you can count on the return of the Fairness Doctrine as well as other fascist policies. It is crucial we beat them.

I is unwise for Tom Harkin to engage in any argument where the word phony is prominent.

Rush is probably getting a lot of new viewers. He started off Thursday’s show:

“No human being should be allowed to have the kind of fun I’m having today.”

And how many of us have forgotten this isn’t the first time this has happened to Rush. Remember when Bill Clinton tried to blame him for the Oklahoma city bombing?

[hermgem]

Harkin’s statement is a mental make up for missions he thought and claimed to have flied but... as it was uncovered later never took part in.

[GitmoSailor]

I smell Hillary!!!!!!!...... Hillary can not win with Rush on the air!!!!!!!............

[jwparkerjr]

I am very heartened by all the hullabaloo! At some point in the life of a very public person the scale tips to their side and almost anything that’s done to harm them just makes them stronger. I think Rush passed that point years ago! Not only are they not hurting him with all their ranting and raving, they are probably driving people to listen to him who have not listened before and would not listen were it not for the curiosity aroused by all the hoopla!

Keep it up guys! At least while you’re spinning your wheels on things that make no difference in the long run you can’t be about your normal bad deeds!

I somewhat disagree with this. The Dem's intent was to placate their base after blinking in the whole "General Betrayus" MoveOn thing. They're leveraging the contrived Limbaugh situation to win back their base ... and more importantly their base's $$$$$. I've been amazed at how, on the left side of the blogosphere, the partisanship pimps are out in force telling the nutroots how the proper way to show their disgust with Limbaugh is to sent in more money ...

Dingy and the Dems are betting that the "fight" with Limbaugh won't persist past the point of diminishing fundraising returns ...

Jane Hamsher, a liberal Web logger, thinks its an effort to compensate for the embarrassment Democrats suffered over the MoveOn.org ad attacking the patriotism of Gen. David Petraeus.

This is the most likely explanation I have heard for why the Democrats are trying to create a scandal around Rush. It seems to me that the Democrats are close to insane because:

1. They lost to Bush twice

2. The radical left is where the money is (Soros, MoveOn.org), but it's not where the majority is

3. The Democrats have no moral compass, no way to take a principled stand on anything

4. The Democratic leaders are all self-serving, unprincipled egotists

5. They know they have to strike out somehow and take the high road on some issue relating to God or country. But they don't have a clue how to do this. They are completely out of touch with anyone who is religious or patriotic. They might as well be talking to Martians.

[Natural Law]

"Never pick a fight with someone who buys ink by the barrel" so the old saying goes. If radio listenership were print, Limbaugh would be buying ink by the super tanker.

I don't know what the liberals are attempting to accomplish by attacking Rush. Their real objective is in attempting to reestablish the relevancy of the MSM and, in typical liberal fashion, instead of making the MSM perform better they are attempting to make it appear better by trying to diminish its competition. All they have accomplished is to solidify the right against them and the MSM.

Some of the smarter RATS are wishing this would go away, as they realize it just makes them look like the tools of the far left that they are. Even the scumbag alan colmes says (ironically) that “we should move on”.

[Liberty Valance]

LOL!!!! Rush really does run America! With Bush not running in ‘o8 they are completely lost. Watch out for spontaneous combustions. ;o)
