Your billboard for Rush (Democrats.org)
Democrats.org E-mail blast ^

Posted on 03/05/2009 8:03:07 AM PST by faithaxiom

I'm Jen O'Malley Dillon, the new Executive Director of the Democratic National Committee.

If you're anything like me, then you've had the urge to talk back to a right-wing talk radio host more than a few times. Now you can.

Rush Limbaugh has made waves lately about his desire to see President Obama fail. And he's unapologetic, even though Americans voted in November for the very kind of change the President is bringing to Washington. As even Limbaugh must know, if the President fails, America fails.

Incredibly, Republican leaders have yet to condemn Limbaugh for his destructive comments. In fact, Republicans like Congressman Eric Cantor, a leader in the House, have adopted the Limbaugh strategy, telling the Washington Post recently that their strategy on the President's jobs plan was "just saying no."

The only Republican leader to challenge Limbaugh -- the chairman of the Republican National Committee -- even called Rush to apologize just a few days later.

But we have no apologies for Rush, just a message. We need you to come up with a slogan, in ten words or less, that we'll put on a billboard where he can't miss it -- in his hometown of West Palm Beach, Florida.

Can you help us come up with a message for Rush that we'll place on a billboard right in his hometown?

We'll go through all the slogans we get, and the winner will have his or her message appear on the billboard -- and receive a free T-shirt featuring the winning slogan.

If Republican leaders aren't willing to tell Rush, then we will. Americans want President Obama to succeed. Our country's future depends on it. Rooting for the President's failure is rooting for our country to fail.

To get America back on a path to prosperity, we'll need to leave behind the failed partisan attack politics of the past. Americans voted for a new direction in November. Choosing Rush Limbaugh to be the voice of their party -- as Republican leaders have done -- is not the answer.

Send in your suggestion of ten words or less for a billboard and we'll choose the best one to put in Rush's own "backyard":

Thanks,

Jen

Remember what Carville is famous for saying, (and typically he stole it from someone else), “If you keep saying it over and over, pretty soon it becomes the truth”.

...If you're anything like me...

Doubt it. I'm not a socialist who's afraid to debate important national issues and attack the free speech of individual citizens.

I think I’ll submit something catchy alluding to the First Amendment. Or perhaps just ‘We the People, in order to create a more perfect union...’

Let’s see... 10 words or less? How about 9...

Obama the socialist is hammering the American public, non welfare folk, businesses, banks and any one that is not part of his Chicago like patronage system.

This is not a surprise, just the way they operate when they gain control.

So far Obama's Enemies list is short but growing. Watch them hammer the average person like Joe the Plumber to someone as well known as Rush, even members of The United States Military.

Stalin, Hitler types must crush the opposition to do their dirty deals and deeds.

You mean like when Bush was in office?

Smart. Very smart. Attack an extremely popular, highly successful, eminently credible man with an audience outnumbering all of Hussein voters—especially if you count only American citizens who voted one time. And best of all, someone with the ability to RESPOND to those attacks five days a week, three hours a day! The left should stick to what it does best...use its MSM lackeys to go after those who cannot or will not fight back.

I think the Protest Warrior approach is in order here...

Perhaps: OBAMA RULES!! CRUSH ALL DISSENT!!

Or a spin of the old "make love, not war": FREE MORTGAGES, NOT SPEECH!!

I agree and that is why our mouthpieces need to be careful what they say and how they say it. In the letters I mentioned before, the misconceptions about things Rush has said is staggering. I am sure that none of them have ever listened to him and get their info from Media Matters or Daily Kos.

In this day of instant communications and sound bites, it is almost impossible to change an impression that has been formed by a media hostile to conservatism. It is crucial that the message by guarded and that everyone in the public eye be constantly aware that every little thing they say can and will be twisted in the MSM.

What a badge of honor for Rush! His father was the Missouri state Republican chairman. Too bad that he is not alive to see this!

Jen,
If obama succeeds America fails. And BTW, all the repentant O supporters I am hearing from say this is NOT the change they voted for.
