I like Rush and his conservative views. However, I still think Hannity does better at pointing out the facts of the position. Rush is starting to ramble too much these days.

And now...it is causing trouble.
Hate to say it, but Rush and his EGO asked for this.

He was trying to make a point, but as many times before...He was not wise in how he worded it and gave them every option to hit him over the head with it.

I know..I know..”but they took it out of context”.
WELL RUSH AND IS EGO GAVE THEM THE CHANCE TO DO IT.

And a majority of the public who knows about the issue looks at it the way NBC and the other commie yahoos played it.

But does Rush let it drop so it will blow over...NO. He is being very dumb by playing it this way. Again, his ego is making the decision on this.

AND NOW...it’s causing a distraction to Republicans who had been making major plays since Jan.

Steele was just as dumb to pander to Rush and take any comments back.

And the liberals know that Rush is a victim of his own ego. They know he is too dumb to let it drop and will keep the issue in the spotlight for them.

HEY, RUSH. Knock it off. It aint worth it, dude.
How many times do you have to get hit by a shovel before you learn to duck.

Just following Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals.

We have to turn this around on the dems and make sure America knows that the White House is targetting private citizens.

You understand that Rush didn’t pick this fight, right?

Because of the unbelievable bias in the media, they might just succeed.

Salon.com has been running non-stop attacks against Rush Limbaugh. It’s interesting that they call themselves a truly independent source when they seem to be doing the White House’s bidding.

Thanks. If he chooses the picture for the masks, then he should be happy. We simply have to NOT argue back at these nut cases. We need to just agree with what they are saying and overplay it with sarcasm and parody. That way people will never take them seriously. I hope the Republicans who show up on the MSM talking head shows will not sit there and try to defend Rush. They should just turn it around on the dems. “Yes, Mr. talking head, Rush is a very intelligent spokeman for the Republican party, unlike (name a dem idiot. Shouldn’t be hard to find one).

Oh no. After thinking about that. the response should be: “Yes, Rush is an intelligent spokesman for the Republican party. You have Algore to speak for your party.”

Before they drive Limbaugh off the air, they will make a concerted effort to demonize him. They will work it from the left and from the right; we’ll get a parade of people here at FR attacking him, claiming that he does more harm than good to the conservative movement, and we shouldn’t spend any political capital defending him.

Thats when the hammer will fall.

I hope the Dems keep doing this.

I wonder why they always seem to need an enemy.

WRONG.....that is exactly what the opposition wants. Their hate for the truth will never "blow over"....

“I wonder why they always seem to need an enemy.”

Divide and conquer.

The truth and facts are NEVER on their side.

Your totally wrong, you forget, Rush is a business, not a politician. All of this attention is pure free advertising for his profitable operation. His operation actually does better when Liberals are in power and when the POTUS is attacking him, he is actually being raised to the level of the President. It’s all part of Rush’s overall marketing strategy.

They always need a demon to scare their minions. As long as the dopes are scared of a bogeyman, they will run to Big Brother to be safed.

Rush is in the radio business.

He has the most powerful man in the world, and his minions, talking daily about his radio show on every network, and you say he is too dumb to make them stop!

That's comical, really.

This episode illustrates the utter stupidity and craven-ness of the GOP leadership elites, but it’s also a chilling reminder of the days of Hitler and Goebbels. Germany had a chance to stop Hitler in the late 20s and early 30s. Will America be able to stop Obama? I doubt it. There are very very few men with Rush’s courage in America. Most Americans will accept slavery if they are comfortable, and right now they are demanding that the government use tyranny to put them back in a place of comfort. Since the 60s America has become accustomed to running away and hiding in fear when the mobs attack and loot our cities. The people who voted for Obama want him to appease the Islamic throatcutters and betray Israel, and Obama is wasting no time accommodating their wishes.

If you believe this, then I've got a bridge to sell you.

Rush is red meat. Sean is milk for the beginner (no offense, Sean). Notice they're not wasting their time going after Sean lately. They're hunting bear and the bear is more than up to the task.

I wonder what Carville’s positives are?

"“His positives for voters under 40 was 11 percent,” Carville recalled with a degree of amazement,"

The voters under 40 probably don't know Rush and don't listen to him. The get their opinion from second hand sources. One thing is certain. If this economy gets much worse those same voters won't have high positives for Obama. As a matter of fact they will hate the sight of him.

Afraid this may work as many O supporters get their news from The Daily SHow and Olberman. Perception is reality and these Obama voters are easily led as we have already seen. Rush is smarter but in the end O supporters are so ignorant is does not matter.
