"The call has helped attempts to link the Republican Party to radio host Rush Limbaugh, and has served as the launching ground for attacks on critics of Obama’s policy proposals. It springs from a recognition of what was lacking in the Clinton years, said Jennifer Palmieri, the senior vice president for communications at the Center for American Progress Action Fund, one of the groups hosting the call....The results of the new coordination are perhaps most obvious in the ongoing effort to saddle the Republican Party and its allies with radio host Rush Limbaugh’s hope that Obama “fails.” The Center for American Progress’s blog seized on Limbaugh’s “fail” comment early, as did congressional Democrats, and participants in the call drove it well beyond its obvious political range.

Pointing and yelling at the decoy for distraction. In counter-intelligence the term is "disruption agent" for what Carville, Begala, and Rahm Emmanuel have coordinated with the anti-Rush Limbaugh strategy. In a criminal enterprise it would be a clown carrying balloons or a fat lady screaming and yelling she was having a heart attack or pointing at the decoy claiming he had snatched her purse. In this case, DNC operatives in the media whooping up hysteria about Rush Limbaugh as if this relates to anything going on right now. They want people to obsess on Limbaugh and not look at the stock market or the statist power grab currently going on in Washington.
In The Manchurian Candidate, it's James Gregory, as the Joe McCarthy type character (Senator Iselin), yelling and holding up a list of alleged Communists in the Defense Department. Once the misdirection is achieved, it is believed most people lose their train of thought and forget about what preceded it. In this case we know who cooked up, planned, and orchestrated the misdirection operation.
Liberals can never win an argyment against a conservative and they know it. They can never defend the indefensible no matter how hard they try but they are relentless nevertheless. So they dont bother to win arguments anymore. Instead they ridicule insult and when that fails they libel and slander and if that fails they resort to physical violence. Liberals especially the ones on the far left are the most intolerant bullying fascists on the face of this earth.
