I can't dance until the Fat Guy shuts up!
1. He wants to split the Republican party, "divide and conquer" motto has worked very well for the Dems, when Republicans/conservatives are divided and are fighting amongst themselves, the DEMS WIN.
2. I think Obama IS actually afraid that Rush' message will resonate and there will be a united opposition to Obama's socialist policies.
I think we all darn well need to hope and work to make sure that Obama's socialist, dictatorial policies, resulting in the destruction of our economy and the US as we know it WILL FAIL.
Obama's success is a third-world-like USSA (United Socialist States of America), where everyone ( except the ruling class) is equally poor, because "the rich" will leave the country and there won't be anyone left from whom to take things away. That's what happened in the communist countries.
What was Rush's "Operation Chaos" supposed to accomplish? I forgot.
Why in the world does anyone pay attention to what another corrupt Obamatron has to say? The Republican Party is in the shape it’s in today because Pres. Bush did not fight back when attacked for eight years by the evildoers who were focused on insulting him and plotting to seize power.
They are now in charge. The Republicans should wake up from their fantasy of getting along with these cut-throat thugs who have no morals. You dare not make deals with people who have no principles but a lust for power.
Imagine if Bush was still in office and attacking, say, perky Katie. Would there not be a howl-storm of protest from the rest of the media? Somehow we need to show the media the hypocrisy of their stance.
Obama's mission would not be possible without a willing media. The print media is collapsing and now they must use television and internet blogs. AM radio is not theirs, but NPR isn't much fun.
Thank God for Rush. I only wish his health was stronger. The constant colds and his weight bother me.
The GOP should treat Emmanuel as the President then. Marginalize Obama like the salesman/mouthpiece he is.
This would have the effect of making Obama nothing but a spokesperson for the hard core leftist cabal that is really running this country now.
The Dems did it with Cheney, let the pubs do it with Emmanuel.
How about Rham the pedo-homo-retard is a barrier to super-progress and respect.
Tough guy, ballerina, Rahm Emanuel.
The Fairness Doctrine is too broad (e.g., Chavez shutting down all the TV stations) to be a cover for an otherwise Bill of Attainder to silence Limbaugh, so it will have to be on some legal or criminal matter.
Perhaps sedition charges, maybe hate charges, possily some kind of tax evasion charge (tit-for-tat is the Democrats' favorite game).
They know that Limbaugh is "too big to fail" via other regulatory means, because it would take down Hannity, Savage, and the rest, with him, and the public wouldn't stand for messing with their radio.

Rush. Tell your listeners to contact their “representatives” to dump the “fairness doctrine” (not fair, and not a doctrine) once and for all.
I too was enthused by Limbaugh’s speech. His speech was the first really up-building oratory I’ve heard since our country elected the half-black commie bastard (literal use of the adjectives) from Kenya, or wherever he’s from. Even my wife, who’s rarely interested in politics, was attentive to Limbaugh’s speech.
Rahm Emmanual is attacking Limbaugh for his "I hope he fails" remark because it has multiple upsides and virtually no downside.
They have contrived to make Rush Limbaugh a figure for the whole Republican Party and conservative movement:
President Barack Obama's chief of staff cast radio talk show personality Rush Limbaugh as the top figure in the Republican Party on Sunday, suggesting that his desire for the president's economic policies to fail is a position held by the GOP.
They then took this figure and called him unpatriotic on several talk shows thus in a stroke making the whole Republican Party unpatriotic.
And I think that's the wrong philosophy for America,
Even worse, much worse, they have succeeded in identifying Limbaugh and Republicans as being threats to a plan of recovery for people who are becoming increasingly frightened.
Now the landscape has been groomed for the Democrats to lay back and monitor three hours of off-the-cuff remarks every day calling out whatever they want from the context and distorting it to demonstrate how mean-spirited Rush Limbaugh (read the Republican Party) wants to frustrate Democrats plans to save your family.
Not incidentally, paining Limbaugh to be unpatriotic and obstructionist isolates him from any sympathy when it comes time to fight the battle over the censorship planned for talk radio.
Limbaugh is most effective on offense and this tends to throw him back on his heels. They intend to attack nit pics for Rushe's three-hour broadcast compelling Limbaugh to defend himself and stay off offense.
Focusing the attention on Limbaugh as the voice of the our elected Republican officials makes our elected officials unworthy of attention and so it makes it more difficult for strong personalities to emerge as leaders. By the same token, the efforts of Republicans in the House, for example, to submit alternative proposals to the porkulus bill will never receive general attention and libel that the Republicans are obstructionists lives on uncorrected.
It matters not that Rush is right and the Democrats are committing spin because there is no judge or jury to call them to account so long as the drive-by media remains intent, like Samson, to bring the temple of American down with them in mutual destruction.
Tot to watch that little piko
as a parent. In everything else, I want him to fail miserably.
When it comes to the economy, when it comes to job creation, when it comes to health care reform our deficit reduction, there are three words to describe the Bush-McCain record: mission not accomplished.

I still believe the Lewinsky investigation was way off from the focus of what Whitewater was, which turned out to be nothing at the end of the process. And I think that there were people who were determined as political opponents to not allow his presidency to succeed.

I don’t think that period of time was the finest hour for journalists. I don’t think it was the finest hour for the judicial system, the finest hour also for Washington as kind of a city or a town.

These folks are true Fascists. Dissent won’t be tolerated eh? Even the DU’ers must see this crap coming down.
Until our leaders, Cantor, Boehner, Steele, whoever, realize that Obama needs to be THE target, they will keep missing the mark.
This budget, these bailouts are Obama and Rahm’s babies. The Republicans are dancing around the edges of trying to attack these programs instead of going for the leaders of this disaster.
Santelli didn’t hesitate to call out Obama and his “New Administraion” and ask if they were listening.
Rush wants Obama to fail because he wants the country to survive and succeed.
While these Republicans are scared of Obama’s approval ratings, the country is headed to Socialism at full speed. Now is not the time to be cautious. Now is the time for them to be bold.
Rush. Tell your listeners to contact their “representatives” to dump the “fairness doctrine” (not fair, and not a doctrine) once and for all.
Rahm Emanuel was a strong supporter of the Iraq war
So, while the new Chief of Staff for the Obama administration had reservations about the conduct of the war, he nevertheless whole-heartedly defended the invasion of Iraq. As late as January 2005
In January 2005, when asked by Meet the Press’s Tim Russert whether he would have voted to authorize the war-”knowing that there are no weapons of mass destruction”-Emanuel answered yes. (He didn’t take office until after the vote.) “I still believe that getting rid of Saddam Hussein was the right thing to do, okay?” he added.

Emanuel Statement On President Bush’s Budget
February 4, 2008
Washington, D.C. - House Democratic Caucus Chairman Rahm Emanuel issued the following statement on President Bush’s budget proposal and a
chart outlining the deficits included in President Bush’s budgets. Emanuel’s statement and chart are below:
“One thing we can say about President Bush and his budgets: at least he’s consistent. President Bush has run deficits for seven straight years, and this year is no different. The President has submitted a budget that would saddle America with one of the largest budget deficits in history, while cutting health care for seniors and education for our children. Democrats will propose a budget that is balanced and is balanced with our priorities.”
