WTG Rush. At least they do not have Obama’s face on the cover again for the umpteenth time.

It is not a "controversy".

It is the deliberate setting up of a Straw Man to attack to distract attention from the devastation that Obama's policies are causing in the economy.

The stock market plunge this week has been horrific, the effect that Obama's policies have had on this plunge should be examined and what does the Obama Administration and their liberal media lapdogs focus on this week?

Rush Limbaugh.

Can you imagine the Bush Administration having a week with such stock market havoc and then having the Bush Administration and the media focus on ......

Al Franken?

The word “cult” seems to be used liberally by misanthropists incapable of articulating anything other than malevolent hatred.

Put a face on the “Fairness Doctrine” then attack. This will backfire. Who the heck says whats conservative or liberal anyway? Lots of dems playing God right now.

Frum is auditioning to be the NYT token "conservative" if David Brooks goes off the reservation.

He's finally getting the attention he thinks he deserves.

If Newsweek were an honest news magazine its cover story would be: Investors, Allies Wonder: Is Obama Up to the Job?

Yes likewise, I would add if Frum had any common sense he would be going after the President who is destroying our country as we speak.

Newsweek surely must be going bankrupt very soon.

I received their magaszine about two full years after I let the subscription lapse. They just kept sending it free and then trying to get me to subscribe again.

Two years! And it wasn’t even my subscription, it was my ex’s.

Many of us are drawn to Rush because he not only echoes what we already know, he does it in an intelligent, cheerful and witty way.

The Pod People are drawn to Obama because they have no clue what hope and change really are, but it sounds good, feel good and that is good enough for them.

2006 Fox News Poll: 51% Of Democrats Wanted Bush To Fail
Garden State patriot ^ | 03/02/09 | Garden State Patriot

Posted on Sunday, March 08, 2009 2:47:12 PM by Jeff Gordon

The Internet is an amazing thing. With all of the hullabaloo over Rush Limbaugh’s comments I started wondering if I could find evidence of Democrats wanting Bush to fail. Lo and behold Fox News did a poll in 2006 and asked that very question. An article on the poll appeared in the NY Post by Craig Charney, a former Clinton pollster (I found the text of the article at sistertoldjah.com). Check this out.

A recent Fox News poll gets at the disturbing truth: A majority of Democrats say they want to see the president fail. Such deep hatred is bad news for the country at a time when America needs to bridge the partisan divide. It’s also bad news for the Democrats, who risk repeating the Republicans’ mistakes of a decade ago, driving away the centrists they need to regain power or going too far if they do manage to win.

Fox’s question was revealing: “Regardless of how you voted in the presidential election, would you say you want President Bush to succeed or not?” Democrats said “not,” 51 percent to 40 percent - where the public at large wanted success by almost two to one. [See page 4 of this document for the poll in question.—ST]

In other words, the rage extends way beyond the lip-pierced Deaniacs, aging hippies and other fringes of the Democratic Party. Lots of otherwise sensible people - suburban moms, hospital orderlies, schoolteachers, big-hatted church ladies - detest George W. Bush.

When these Democrats say they want Bush to fail, might this mean that they simply reject what they see as his far-right religious and corporate agenda? If so, it’s hard to see why independents - hardly right-wing zealots - hope he succeeds by 63 percent to 34 percent. Sadly, much of the Democratic Party wants to see this president crash and burn.

In fact, the fury against to Bush has reached unprecedented levels, even compared to the animosity among Republicans to his predecessor. Not long ago, a Washington Post-ABC News poll found that “strong disapproval” of Bush was 10 points higher than that recorded for Bill Clinton at any point during his presidency, including his impeachment. (That wasn’t during a war, either.)

Remember, for better or for worse, George W. Bush will be our president for more than two years. Hoping that he’ll fail is really hoping that America will fail. These people detest Bush so much that they don’t mind America getting a setback across the globe if it will weaken Bush.

Of course, there’s a key difference between then and now. Wishing Bush would fail meant wishing the country lost in Iraq. Wishing Obama fails means rooting against socialistic policies that threaten everything the country was founded on and our future prosperity.

Do you think the MSM, considering their whining about Limbaugh’s comments, would think to look something like this up now and then report on it? Nope, that would actually mean really reporting on something and adding some context. That would mean they couldn’t marginalize and demonize him.

bttt

You can subscribe at 90% discount of the cover price. Imagine how f***** up is their business model to practically give away their idiotic magazine. They are willing to utterly go into bankruptcy but no change their left wing insane ideology.

And also, that cover foto of Rush has to be slightly photoshopped.

I know he’s gained weight but he ain’t that fat!

This is so silly. What is their endgame with this?

They seem to know that the fairness doctrine would bring serious and legitimate claims of censorship.

Do they just think that liberals can be motivated to reckless and thoughtless action just by hatred of one person?

Oh wait, it's worked before, hasn't it?

The cover blocking Rush’s mouth is so indicative of the desire to shutter Freedom of Speech and The Press.

We are on a long spiral downward plunge into the abyss if these hysterical creatures continue to gain a foothold into the minds of the people who are eager for leadership.

What is the word Rush used? Castrati???? How true.

That is a fascist Newsweek magazine cover if ever I have seen one.

Rush's ratings are about to go ballistic.

Fascism on the rise.

Popular Magazines in Germany ( See below) also tried to degrade and silence Winston Churchill. It did not work then and it will not work now. Not much wonder that Obama wanted Churchill's bust taken away from the WHite House.

Make no mistake. Rush is America's Winston Churchill, and the battle has been joined.

All this started by scum like Begala who said this about Republicans.

“I was driving past the Pentagon when that plane hit” on Sept. 11, 2001. “I had friends on that plane; this is deadly serious to me,” Begala said.

“They want to kill me and my children if they can. But if they just kill me and not my children, they want my children to be comforted — that while they didn’t protect me because they cut my taxes, my children won’t have to pay any money on the money they inherit,” Begala said. “That is bulls*** national defense, and we should say that.”
