Susan Estrich Warns Democrats About Dangers of Attacking Rush Limbaugh
NewsBusters ^ | March 4, 2009 | P.J. Gladnick

Posted on 03/04/2009 8:07:52 AM PST by PJ-Comix

Susan Estrich is worried. Very worried. She believes that the current coordinated Democrat strategy of attacking Rush Limbaugh is completely counterproductive. And she's right:

He talks for hours every day. He gets paid to talk. Just talk. Doing it well is no small thing; witness the number of people who have tried to be him, or be the NOT-him, and failed. But he doesn't have to build a coalition. He doesn't need the votes of the other side to earn his check. He doesn't have to write the legislation, convince Olympia Snowe, raise money to keep the lights on, put his name on the ballot. All the things he doesn't have to do give him the freedom to be as effective as he is at what he does.

Trying to beat him at his own game when your own game is played by a different set of rules is a losing proposition. He knows that.

Even for those of us who listen to Rush regularly, the Democrat attacks upon him just make his show even more interesting...plus it brings in TONS of new listeners.

Was President Eisenhower this obsessed with Gabriel Heater?

She better inform the white house. Those idiots seem to have forgotten the lessons of the Clinton presidency.

Similar to Eric Holder announcing the likelihood of new gun & ammo laws: everyone runs out to buy guns and ammo beforehand.

Thanks for the notice to ammo-up, Eric!

This is funny coming from a woman who has staked her career on going after another conservative icon, our beloved Ann.

Gabriel Heater...

Good gosh, I’m old. I don’t remember him, but I do remember a line in a novelty song:

“And over the racket Gabriel Heater is saying “Peace on earth everybody and good will toward men” And yust at that moment someone slugs Uncle Ben.”

And, it’s also sharpened Rush lately. He is cutting like a fine Ginsu knife 100% of the time nowadays.

I am loving all this!! Limbaugh is the sh%t! Susan is a freak but she is no dummy. The Democraps should listen to her on this one (fortunately for us we know they won’t) ;-)

I think Susan’s fear is that he focuses on things that resonate. If he brings attention to that most egrecious attacks on the economy, he threatens to defeat the new guy’s agenda. If he loses one battle, all are then vulnerable. Can’t have that. Especially since Rush can’t be labeled as “bigoted.”

Rush’s accuracy rating is now at 99.5% of the time. The highest since stats have been kept back in the Sacto days.

When I first started doing talk radio, I listened to Rush Limbaugh in the morning to figure out how to do it.

Anyone who says Rush has no talent should read this line again and again. The most brilliant minds in the nation follow his lead, a guy that never graduated college.

My respect for Susan has gone up. I frankly didn’t expect this type of analysis from a ‘feminazi’. Perhaps, age does help even liberals become more wise.
