This is not about political party anymore. That was last November. This is about philosophy. Why do you think they are attacking Limbaugh and not Republicans? Republicans are rolling over and accepting the Obama agenda.
Obama is attacking Limbaugh and not the GOP, because Limbaugh is even LESS popular than the Republican Party.
This isn't about Limbaugh's message or even about Limbaugh's audience. This is about Limbaugh's INCREDIBLY UNPOPULAR perception by the American People, nothing more. Limbaugh doesn't reach a huge pool of undecided voters. He spends every day preaching to a ravenous choir.

If any one has "taken the bait" here. It's self described conservatives that are drawn to defending Limbaugh like moths to a flame.
This isn't about ideology and it certainly isn't about the GOP's message, AT ALL. It's about political gamesmanship and Barack Obama is making the GOP look like political consultants to a high school homecoming queen election.
