So they go after Limbaugh to provoke him or stop him? And if they “stop him” from doing whatever but not talking, then what? Start targetting the Limbaugh audience?

Sounds like a set up of media manipulation, getting ready to portray white men as crazy Limbaugh listeners to me. They will continue going ahead against guns and let the gangs ganging on one and getting away with murder by such single sacrifice in US courts and opinion manipulation halls.

Scapegoating is what it is.

But then what? Can’t lay the blame of their own disatifaction and failures on every joe out there. It’s ridiculous.

Tomorrow they will sweeten Obama and call him Reagan or Rush Limbaugh. Watch those nuts in action.

Limbaugh won this faux battle rather easily on all levels.

They are stupid.

It will drive people to listen to him.

They have driven my wife there because they have awaken her interest in what he has to say ... and she loves the guy, now!

Thank you Nazi Pelosi!

Good for Rush!

He declares himself to be a conservative; and articulates very clearly the significance of on going policy and legislation. He has a long view ... seeing the true direction we are headed.

He is an important part of ‘freedom’ in America.

"He was the complete opposite of his persona. He was soft-spoken, extraordinarily polite and clearly not taking himself too seriously."

Anyone who's ever actually listened to Rush knows that that is not the "complete opposite" of his persona. What it is is the complete opposite of the drive-by media's false portrayal of him.

The democrats taking on Limbaugh is silly.
Limbaugh holdsnoofficeand tomyknowledge hasnever stated he is running or will run for any office.
Limbaugh is a businessman, right now in a suckbutt economy doing terrific business.
The democrats were elected into office by the people to run the nation and make things better.
Since they took control of Congress in 2006 and the Whitehouse in 2008 not only have they not made things better they have made things extremely worse. Housing market crash, bank failures auto makers about to go into bankruptcy, the Dow had dropped to under 7,000, unemployment is at its highest rate in 30 years.
So while people are losing jobs and can not find new ones what are those elected democrats doing? Having public fights with Limbaugh.
Heres hoping that the American peoplecome to their senses in 2010 and 2012 and take steps tosave this Nation for real...

BINGO! And they’re talking about Rush’s popularity in the polls and approval rating as if he were president. The only approval rating Rush is interested in is the size of his audience, that translates into $400 million!

I would never make James Carville my target if I were trying to tear down the Democratic Party.

I guess it is best to let him slither back under his rock. But, when you get Carville mad, his reptilian features become so much more prominent ...

This is unbelievable. Has this jerk every LISTENED to Limbaugh, or does he get his public image from the DNC propaganda machine?

“It was enlightening. He was the complete opposite of his persona. He was soft-spoken, extraordinarily polite and clearly not taking himself too seriously. My friends who know him well tell me he is still that way today.”

Hell, if he listened to Limbaugh, he’d here someone that was considerate, funny, and kind on his show as well. Sure, he says he is all-knowing, etc., but he says it so you know it’s a joke.

And this guy thinks he sounds as shrill as Carville in his public persona? Sorry, I don’t think he has listened to either one of them. Just the DNC caricatures.

Underestimate the Dems at your own peril.

The attempt to make Rush, an unelected radio show host, the “leader” the GOP was a wise strategy and fraught with more danger for Republicans than Democrats.

There's always the FCC.

If they can't lick 'im, they'll stomp 'im with their jackboots.

Limbaugh is an entertainer. Everytime he opens his mouth the Dems squeal like stuck pigs and bray like asses.

If they don’t like him they can always listen to Air America, if they can find it.

The dems will step on their own p*cker, they always do.

But they do have the media and police power on their side.

IMO, Republicans would be wise to run and anti-Gov’t candidate in 2012. Americans are mad at Gov’t, regardless of party. A true DC outsider is the way to go—Palin, Jindal, Sanford. An the author is right, idependents are very open to Rush’s message, as of now, because they are feeling ignored by the representatives.

One thing the Dems do is “game things out” all the way down the road.

IOW they planned for how Limbaugh and his supporters would react before they ever launched this offensive.

And I assume that they have many more moves left.

Good analysis. Dems are recruiting ditto-heads from independents and the young
