“Yes they want Rush to replace Bush as demon, the names even sound alike.” ~ sickoflibs

The Obama supporters are becoming restless and disillusioned. When they become completely unhinged they’ll use him as the new container for their poison unless he and his minions can find a substitute container.

This (below) is what I was just getting ready to post when I saw what you wrote. :)

In addition to President Bush (or as a replacement for him), Rush is the one Obama and his operatives have decided to focus everyone’s attention on to demonize right now.

QUOTE:

“When I say that the Obamanauts are about to enter a world of pain, I mean that they will eventually know the dark side of the wave of fantasy upon which they are riding. ..

[huge snip]

“...And now we come to the future. deMause outlines a four-part process that the fantasy leader [Obama] undergoes in relation to the group. At first the group will see him as unrealistically strong, magically able to unify the group and keep enemies at bay. ...Obviously, this is where Obama is, except that the omnipotent fantasies of strength surrounding him are unusually grandiose and primitive.

Stage two is the “cracking” stage, when the feelings of magical nurturing begin to deteriorate, so that the public’s mood begins to feel unstable and dangerous. The leader begins to be experienced as weak, unable to control events. Here again, when this happens, look for the left to frantically attempt to re-project all of this into President Bush, in order to perpetuate the fantasy.

Stage three, “collapse,” occurs when the public begins to feel that the fantasy leader is helpless to prevent catastrophe — when the group’s anxiety has become unhinged and uncontained in a completely unrealistic way. This brings on pure rage and free-floating paranoid fantasies of death and destruction. Thus, in the case of President Bush, he was unrealistically blamed and vilified for all sorts of things outside his control — hurricane Katrina, rising gas prices, global warming, the Democrat-fueled housing bubble, etc.

At this stage, the fantasy leader is seen as weak and vulnerable, which triggers a wave of near homicidal anxiety that aims to purify the group by ritual slaying of the divine king, identical to what took place in the most primitive tribes. So today is not just the coronation of the new king, but the ritual blood sacrifice of the old one. But he was scourged for so long, that he was virtually dead anyway — or only “alive” with primitive projections.

In deMause’s scheme, one way the fantasy leader [Obama] may avoid his own ritual sacrifice is by locating a common enemy and reunifying the group. ...

....Again, for this reason, I think the fantasists of the left will be unable to “let go” of President Bush, since he has become so vital to their psychic equilibrium. But they don’t fool us. ~ Gagdad Bob

However, I still think Hannity does better at pointing out the facts of the position.

Of course it would help if Hannity wasn't so incredibly shallow and predictable.
