Democrats Launch Petition Against Rush Limbaugh Tuesday, January 27, 2009 By Melanie Hunter-Omar

(CNSNews.com) – The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee has launched an online petition for readers to express their outrage at conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh for saying last week that he wanted President Barack Obama to fail.

The petition includes a 19-second sound byte of Limbaugh, saying, “If I wanted Obama to succeed, I’d be happy the Republicans have laid down. I don’t want this to work. So I’m thinking of replying to this guy, say ‘okay, I’ll send you a response, but I don’t need 400 words, I need four: I hope he fails.’”

Meanwhile, Obama advised Republicans last Friday to stop listening to Limbaugh if they wanted to get along with Democrats and the administration.

“You can’t just listen to Rush Limbaugh and get things done,” Obama said to Republican leaders who met with the president to talk about the stimulus package.

The Republican National Committee did not return calls requesting comment.

Keep it up Rush. Maybe you can distract them long enough so they forget about the overporked stimulus bill. Whatever happened to accurate reporting. Rush hopes that Obamas policies fail, not Obama .

Leftists and their enemies list.

Didn’t they criticize Nixon for this.

The assault on civil rights begins unfettered.

If the RNC leadership had any backbone they would immediately attack this assault on the First Amendment.

It should kick off a Obama adminstration length theme of Obama attacking civil rights.

Up next Fairness Doctrine.
Up next Second Amendment.

I am sure that Limbaugh is proud to top the left’s Enemies List.

The left is throwing a huge softball.

Does the weak RNC leadership have the balls to knock it out of the park.

Stop Obama’s assault on civil rights.

Pure amusement, indeed! The fact remains that most people don’t listen to talk radio. This will certainly backfire. Call the wah-mbulance!

One more thing. As they are prone to do, the libs are cherry picking here, taking what was said out of context.

“His so-called ‘Operation Chaos’ did nothing to help conservatives. If he’s not part of the solution, he’s part of the problem.”

Oh Please....would it really have mattered whether it was Hillary or Obama? Do some honest soul-searching.

BTW, RUSH ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
