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.

It is amusing indeed.
However, it is important to realize that in the New America these nutjobs have a direct line and voice of influence in the Whitehouse. Conservatives don't.
He will move swiftly to muzzle the voice of opposition.
"It's for the good of the country." The new mantra of the sheeple.

What a bunch of limp-wristed, pansy-assed crybabies.
Have you ever tried to explain to one of them the irrational fears they had of Pres. Bush and Rove is EXACTLY what they want to impose on the rest of us?
Blank stares.

Funny. I don’t recall the Democrats being concerned over whether George Bush succeeded or failed, or equating his fate with that of the nation. Instead, I recall them equating his policy decisions with those of the Nazis.

Well, they might as well start a petition on me, because I too hope Obama fails in his pro Jihadist, anti-life, pro-socialist, anti-capitalist agenda.
(Oh, and I'm not attributing the racists agenda that Rev. Lowery and Robert B. Reich are advancing to Obama, but I hope that fails too.)

Suggestion 1:
Cut off the money supply. Sure it’s only 1 hour a week but enough people and it will have an impact. Work 1 hour less/week, make a little bit less/week but combined with millions of others working 1 hour less/week it will slowly send fewer dollars in revenue to the government treasury.

““Phony soldiers” part 2?”
The Phony Soldiers kerfluffle is where I learned Romney was a fraud -— he immediately demanded Rush apologize and threw Rush under the bus.

He made it pretty clear he favored Thompson, although he never came outright and said it. It’s hardly Rush’s fault that McCain won, Rush trashed him almost as hard as he did the Huckster.

There was no better way to help Rush’s ratings than to start telling people to not listen to him.
I would like to thank President Obama for single-handedly upping Rush’s listeners.

Since liberals think of Rush as a greater threat than jihadism then if we ever get hit by a massive terrorist attack the most they will ever do is send them a strongly worded letter. Probably recommending they target Republicans (ala Michael Moore)
