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.
I think people are over analyzing this.
It’s not fear, it’s not hate, it’s 1984 and Rush is Emanuel Goldstein.
Rush is a convenient focus for the hate of the disaffected dims when things start to fall apart and the magic marxist falls flat on his face. He is already pointing to Limbaugh as the reason his attempt to create a socialist utopia has failed.
Communists always have an enemy to blame for their failures, bammy is no different.
This is the Alinsky Method again.
They think this is effective.
In addition to the fact this is an old Clinton strategy (going after Rush Limbaugh, conservative talk radio, and the Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy), it distracts attention, taking media time away from criticism of Obama and his Big Government deficit spending, and focuses on Rush Limbaugh. They try to make Limbaugh the issue and then twist it into a new McCarthyism: "Do you agree now or have you ever agreed with Rush Limbaugh?"
They have done some type of internal polling within the liberal Democrat twilight zone and found that Limbaugh is a hot-button figure who rallies their troops.
If you go back to the 1990s the Clintonoids tried to blame the '95 Oklahoma City Bombing on conservative talk radio and Rush Limbaugh. This is a Rush Scare of liberal McCarthyism.
It all depends on what the definition of "IS" is.
I detest dictators. And I am not alone.
I'd say I have about 170 millon with me.
Hello! We DO want Socialism to fail. Duh.
Abjectly.
Miserably.
Utterly.
100% FAIL.
Rush is right.
Once again, the Alinsky playbook. Rush is effective and can hurt them. They are attacking and making it personal.
