This is the Alinsky Playbook again.

As President Barack Obama pulls out the stops to ensure economic stimulus passage, Democrats seek a wedge between the GOP and Rush Limbaugh, officials say. Obama and top aides are reportedly be using all the trappings of the office, from phone calls and cocktail parties to a politically mixed Super Bowl party to push the stimulus package as the issue moves to the Senate. The House passed a $819 billion stimulus package this week with no Republican support.
Meanwhile, liberal groups are taking out after Limbaugh, the influential talk show host, Politico reported.
One group, Americans United for Change, plans to begin airing radio ads in Ohio, Pennsylvania and Nevada, three states Obama won, asking GOP senators bluntly, "Will you side with Obama or Rush Limbaugh?"
In the ads, after playing Limbaugh's declaration that he hopes Obama "fails," the narrator states, "Every Republican voted with Limbaugh -- and against creating 4 million new American jobs.
"We can understand why an extreme partisan like Rush Limbaugh wants President Obama's Jobs program to fail -- but the members of Congress elected to represent the citizens in their districts? That's another matter."
The radio buy comes on the heels of an eight-state TV campaign by Americans United for Change and other liberal groups to rally stimulus support.
Open response to the socialist authors of this ad:
“For starters, the premise that this “stimulus package” will “create” 4 million new jobs is a lie.”
“The only thing that the pork in this Trillion Dollar barrell is designed to stimulate is votes from those dependent on the Government trough.”
“The only source of money the Government has is that which is stolen from those in the private sector, who otherwise WOULD create jobs.”
“This bill is designed to buy votes, NOT “create jobs!”
Hussein vs. Rush? Choose Rush every time.
And Nine Percent Nancy Pelosi calls herself "NON-PARTISAN".
Don't believe socialists. They lie every time.
They took the statement out of context. Of course they left out the part where he named specifically which ones he hoped would fail. Namely the government takeover of the auto industry among others. They left that out.
What’s worse, these Democrat groups that attack Rush are doing so by direct order of the White House. They aren’t doing this in a vacuum.
So you’ve got White House and Congressional Democrats trying to destroy a private citizen.
Then there’s the fact that they are lying about what Rush actually said. They are making a concentrated effort to commit a fraud on the U.S. Citizens.
It’s more of their propaganda.
Someone explain to me how one party can run ads with taxpayer money to intimidate members of the Senate?
"Rogers always had a low opinion of Congress and the federal government, but it was never lower than in the years 1930-1933. He thought that elected officials were out of touch with the country; their attempts at economy were ridiculous. Their only actions were to appropriate pork barrel projects that would keep their home districts safe for them. They would do nothing that might disturb the support which they counted upon from special interests."
"One of Rogers's Daily Telegrams pretended to be the diary of a United States Senate trying to raise two billion dollars that it had appropriated but didn't have as revenue. The "diary" caricatures the Senate's contradictory and shallow thinking:
Monday—Soak the rich.
Tuesday—Begin hearing from the rich.
Tuesday afternoon—Decide to give the rich a chance to get richer.
Wednesday—Tax Wall Street sales.
Thursday—Get word from Wall Street. "Lay off us or you will get no campaign contributions."
So Thursday afternoon—Decide "We was wrong about Wall Street."
Friday—Soak the little fellow.
Saturday morning—Find out there is no little fellow. He has been soaked until he is drowned.
Sunday—Meditate.
Next Week—Same procedure, only more talk and less results. ( Vol. 3, 163)
"But Congress was not much worse than the rest of the country. Most everyone had lost contact with reality during the Coolidge years: "cuckoo land," Rogers called it. People thought they could have anything they wanted by buying on time. "The thought of money changing hands was considered rather vulgar" (WA, Vol. 4, 75). Coolidge had recommended economy when he was president, but in 1931 he was writing newspaper articles advising people to spend more. Rogers replied that this advice was very uncharacteristic of Coolidge and that his success had come from doing the exact opposite. Rogers's advice was to save. "Since when did saving become a national calamity?" (D T, Vol. 2, 239).
"Spending without resources was what created the Depression, Rogers claimed. He advised: "Don't make the first payment on anything" (DT, Vol. 2, 189).
"The solution to the problems seemed simple to Rogers: it was to create more jobs. The big men who were giving speeches about better times coming would do more if they gave jobs instead of speeches. There were plenty of schemes for relief but few that promised work. "We will just about have to save ourselves accidentally. That's the way we stumbled on prosperity" (DT, Vol. 3, 67).
"Rogers was generally sympathetic with the presidents, but he took the gloves off during the last two years of Hoover's administration. Hoover's attempts to hit upon a solution by creating commissions tried Rogers's patience, and he became especially impatient with some of the appointees. "He [Hoover] picked every bank president and corporation head who have handled their own affairs so ably in the last year and a half that it is their stockholders that constitute the present needy" (DT, Vol. 3, 68).
Comment: EVERYTHING OLD IS NEW AGAIN, except Rush has a bulls eye on the Golden EIB Microphone, the sniper is the current President, and the ammunition loaded is the the Un-Fairness Doctrine and the willing, sycophant, monaural media.
Look, if you’re going to shamelessly promote yourself, at least give us a working link. You are a failure as a self-promoter. LOL
This stimulus porkulus is directed at the workforce sector that has the lowest unemployment figures. The government union workforce has the lowest unemployment. Now this sector will be expanded while the private sector becomes its cash cow.
Liberals will attack any Conservative who is articulate and backs his/her statements with fact. Period!
Obama is supposedly outraged with Wall Street while he is attempting to spend the largest ammount of tax payer’s money in US History?
its mind bending.
This is the Alinsky Playbook again.
Why are they trying to force Republicans to pass this bill when the Democrats already have enough votes? RINO’s better ask themselves why the Dem’s insist on getting their vote, and what they are being used for.
