I backfired, huge!

There is a blog accompanying the petition. http://dccc.org/blog/archives/stand_strong_against_rush_limbaugh

At post #11 a democrat offers a rebuke to the DCCC for their selective editing of Rush's comment. At post #14 our own Bob Parks weights in. The rest of the commentary is pretty much all for Rush until they hit post #300 at 12:55 EST this morning. They don't appear to be accepting any additional comments LOL!

Thanks! Wish the Conservative voting public was as organized as the Liberal Acorn Den of Thieves, then I voices might be taken seriously. Unfortunately I do not see any alpha leader out there willing or capable of organizing the conservatives.Rush is probably the closest and I believe eventually he will be silenced by the fairness doctrine. This is why the opposition to this stimulus plan needs to come from our elected republican officials!

How do you oppose the ideas of the petition without it counting as “another person signed our petition in favor of . . .”?

One of the BEST ways to support Rush is to purchase products that Limbaugh endorses.

Furthermore, write to the advertisers of his show and tell them that you bought their product specifically because of Rush.

Unfortunately, because the Party is drunk with power now and anything more they do to take away our freedoms will not surprise me, I wouldn’t be surprised if, by signing this in favor of Rush, my name ended up on some “list” of “subversives”.

I think you may be right. We need our own petition.

These people are pathetic. I don't recall any petition circulated by the Republicans because the liberal wackos called Bush Hitler. Yikes!

Judging by the blog side of their petition, see my post 61, I'd say they'll probably have to drop the petition entirely. I'm certainly not going to worry about having signed the petition. I have record here of my comment if a subversives list is in the works.

so democrat senators don’t want to sign a second letter?

this is just another attempt to marginalize conservatives.

Remember 1/2 of rush’s audience is DEMOCRATS, the democrat party wants to scare democrats away from rush.

Rush should ask democrats “why does you party want you not to listen?”

Why is obama scared of democrats listening to rush?

Did Bush or Cheney ever mention Air America?

This just seems like a big diversion from something someone doesn’t want us to see.

The libs not only wanted Bush to fail, but they actually tried to make that happen when groups like CodePink gave money to the terrorists we were fighting in Iraq, along with blocking military recruiting offices in Berkley and other cities.

And we can't forget MoveOn's infamous Gen. Betrayus ad in the New York Times. Plus how many anti-war protests have we seen where Bush and Cheney were called war criminals and were either hung or burned in effigy? They even made movies about assassinating him.

So when a liberal talks about tolerance, he's just talking out of the place where the sun doesn't shine.
