Dems Doubling Down On Rush Push
Redstate.com ^ | 03/08/09 | Caleb Howe

It of course goes without saying that the war on Rush Limbaugh is continuing apace. Democrats are nothing if not committed to untenable positions. The more untenable the better, in fact. As we’ve endeavored to point out here at Redstate, this is all a White House distraction tactic, and it’s being executed by friendly media taking directions. The left online, naturally, jumped on board faster than a Democrat on a filmmaker. It’s simple to understand, really. They don’t want you to think about Obama’s broken campaign promises and inept first month. So they need a distraction. They have replaced the B with an R in their favorite distraction action: hobgoblinery. (Well it sounds like a real word!)

both would be satisfying. For our own good, Obama’s meltdown would be more important and enjoyable. Kos is the bottom denominator. His celebration of the burning and hanging of US contractors from bridge in Fallujah was the absolute most disgusting thing I have ever seen another human do.

I say bring it on! It was reported on this site yesterday that Rush has sold advertising revenue in the first two months of this year equal to 80% of ALL of last years revenue, and he will probably be sold out by the end of this month! Keep going dems!

This is a two-prong attack on Rush and the Conservatives.

The first prong of attack is to claim that Rush is the leader of the conservatives, who are the chief opponents to Obama’s plan of economic destruction.

The fact that this has been pointed out as a way to distract the nation from the reality of Oabam’s plans and failures, has angered the leftists. To top it off, they are learning that Rush’s ratings are going through the roof.

That leads to the second prong of attack. They will now claim, “See! Rush is the leader of the GOP! More people are jumping on his band wagon!”

The leftists will then push for the “Fairness Doctrine” to be passed or an equivalent of it rushed through legislation. Just watch.

In the mean time, Go! Rush Go!

The Democrats are like a daughter who is hesitant about marrying her boyfriend but decides to march down the aisle after her father launches an incessant, disingenuous campaign to discredit him and she feels compelled to keep defending him.

Is it possible that the Dems are causing indies and moderates to walk to the dark side and listen to Rush out of curiosity?

Rush’s audience has doubled because of his CPAC speech and Obama. This can only be helpful to the Republican cause, but first they must get on board and decide to become conservatives again.

It’s a war. The only question is who will weaken first. The left has at its disposal the power of the media, academia and government.

Rush must be loving the publicity and it’s not costing him a dime.

He’s making money on the Dim Dhims stupidity.

Anything to distract the nation from the mediocrity at the top...

Distracting to Rush will only amplify the ineptness at the top.

I’m waiting for someone to suggest that any company that received TARP funds (or any gov’t money) should be barred from advertising on Rush.

HEY! OBAMA!!

You were elected by your adoring legions to "Fix the Economy" and not to get into a Straw Man fight with a radio personality.

The stock market crashed like the Hindenburg every day last week. Fix THAT!

By picking fights with Rush instead of effectively doing your job, you give the impression that you are in waaaaay over your head and that you need a Straw Man to fight against to divert attention from your incompetence.

Then again, maybe that is not an impression but the depressing fact.

I kind of liked the tagline, but it somehow left me wanting more.

They voted for CHANGE,not thinking it would be the $$$ kind, and that’s all they will be left with when this team gets done
