Rush Limbaugh and Democrats

9 March 2009 4 Comments Download My Toolbar!

As top Democratic strategists continue their assault on Rush Limbaugh, they’ve decided to deploy a new tactic — erecting a billboard to taunt the nation’s most popular talk radio host.

The Democratic National Committee is inviting people to send in their suggestions for a slogan that will appear on the billboard — set to be erected near Limbaugh’s home in West Palm Beach, Fla.

This may very well be the first time a political party has attacked a private citizen and radio entertainer — at least in recent memory.

Perhaps some enterprising American will erect a billboard directed at the DNC. Anyone want to suggest a slogan?

– The attack on Rush came from critics who twisted a comment he made about wanting President Obama’s policies to fail in the middle of a serious recession. Some liberals accused him of wanting President Obama to fail.

Well, it so happens that in 2006 Fox News conducted a poll and found that 51 percent of Democrats and 34 percent of Independents did not want President Bush to succeed — even though our nation was at war.Hmm.

Your thoughts?

    Good thoughts here Todd…. as a life-long Democrat it strikes me that the party must have run out of ideas pretty quickly if all they can think of is attacking Rush. What is this, 1996? The one thing I'd disagree with is your characterization of Rush as a "private citizen" — I think we'd both agree that as the nation's most popular radio host, he's definitely a very public figure. (and to be FNB, he HAS done his share of attacking private citizens in the past — remember when he helped McCaskil get elected by taunting Michael J. Fox? )

    Remember Rush is a entertainer and he says things that make him money like any shock jock. I use to listen to Rush till it just got to boring , only because I could almost tell you what his next line was going to be .Rush does have talent as a entertainer and when compared to Hannity he is much better and funnier .Hannitys show the same thing everyday with the same callers patting each other on the back.
