PRESIDENT OBAMA TAKES ON RUSH LIMBAUGH IN NEW MEDIA WAR

WASHINGTON -- President Obama warned Republicans on Capitol Hill today that they need to quit listening to radio king Rush Limbaugh if they want to get along with Democrats and the new administration.

"You can't just listen to Rush Limbaugh and get things done," he told top GOP leaders, whom he had invited to the White House to discuss his nearly $1 trillion stimulus package.

One White House official confirmed the comment but said he was simply trying to make a larger point about bipartisan efforts.

"There are big things that unify Republicans and Democrats," the official said. "We shouldn't let partisan politics derail what are very important things that need to get done."

That wasn't Obama's only jab at Republicans today.

As a loyal Rush subscriber, I just sent the link to this thread to Rush. I hope he gets my email, and finds the time to click on this link!

The problem is they WANT Rush to come out swinging. That only helps discredit him in the end.

Rush's ego is his biggest flaw. Someone on the other side has figured that out, and is using it. By getting Rush to lash out at Obama, they can cry “RACISM!” and get him off the air more easily.

We need to start thinking strategically, not tactically.

Careful, folks. Put the emotions aside for a moment and think "enemy tactics". Seven years ago the satanic liberal propaganda machine set out with a plan to demonize President Bush....and it worked exceedingly well (with Cheney and Haliburton thrown in for good measures, also). It's still going on today because it still serves the leftist agenda to perpetuate it for an undeterminate period of time. Now, if you've been paying attention, Rush Limbaugh is now in the sights for this same tactic which is right out of the Saul Alinsky revolutionary commie handbook. Notice how the bubblehead hosts and anchors on the TV shows are now tossing Rush's name out in ever-increasing numbers. This is orchestrated, not spontaneous, though it may appear so. Remember, everything is exquisitely planned now by the Left, the Left's money backers and the Obama administration's shadowy operatives. Rush knows all this, but we have to be aware also.

Nicely stated, Leni, and worth repeating.

It's up to each of us to start our own campaign against Hussein Obama. There cannot be silence when Obama becomes the topic in conversation.

And there is so much to criticize.

Screw the Federal government. I’m with Limbaugh. This country was built on freedom, not the Federal trough and the pigs it supports.

I wet them months ago. Anyone that says otherwise is a fool or hasn't read or studies Hitler, Lenin, Stalin, Castro and other than came to power. It's classic and bo attempting it. There is no question about that, the only question is will people wake up before it's too late? Coup d'etat’s can happen very quickly. They have the minds of man of the youth. Economy is bad, they make it worse, that needs to happen to make people think govt. is the only way that they can survive. Silence the negative media, disarm, and done!

That's funny, because up until the election, Barry was always going on about Sean Hannity. It would be ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS to see Barry taken down by the combined efforts of the conservative radio.

His real religion is BLT: Black Liberation Theology. And it isn’t Christian; it’s marxist.

I realize that *snicker*, I was just trying to allay the freepers' fear
Let Zer0Bambi's fellow Muslims *double snicker* hoist him upon his petard.

Doesn’t he have more pressing issues to worry about? He probably wanted to keep his blackberry so he could keep up with the blogs. Definitely not ready for prime time.

I hope Rush makes mince meat of this second coming of Christ. The more he says the sicker I get. This man is another Hitler and he is proving to be as rotten as Hitler. He tells Republican's who ask questions, no questions the reason is quote “I WON”. I don't have a god damn thing nice to say about this gangster from Illinois, who knows nothing about the Governor.... Laugh.... He also went to a church and the minister says “God Damn America” but this jack ass went there for 20 years and he knew nothing. Ta,Ta. Lie, Lie, Lie.

Nothing has happened to Paul Shanklin. He's a local in my town and is alive a well.

Thanks. Some previous posts made it seem that his songs aren’t on Rush’s show any more.

Putin would kick his skinny little ass. If Putin so much as snarled at the wimp he’d run crying to Michelle. I am despising this little twerp more each day.
