Democrats Outraged by Rush Limbaugh's Outrageous Outrage
In what can only be described as its boldest move ever, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee has set its sights squarely on the most dangerous, powerful man in America: Rush Limbaugh.
You see, last week, around the same time he was jumping the whale shark, Limbaugh said he "hopes" President Obama fails to solve the country's problems.
The DCCC isn't going to sit back and ignore a verbal cruise missile like that! No sir! Not when there are e-mail addresses to be harvested!
So if you'd like to help the Democrats out-outrage the outragiest outrager of 'em all, zip up your outrage suit, turn the outrage-o-meter up to 11 and click over to the official DCCC "Rush to Judgment" Internet Petition.
I'm warning you, though. It's truly, truly outrageous…

See? GI Joe, U make my case FOR me! If we Democrats are so dumb, how did we elect the first African/American president? And U said "there pet projects" when U obviously meant "THEIR pet projects"; learn how to spell, will ya?
There's NUTHIN' dumber than a Dittohead! They need Rush's brain to think!
Ohhhhh, I LOVE Rush Limbo!
Soldier on, pal.
Yeh…waste your time sending a talk show host emails. Do you really think that Colbert's stategy could really fool a Corleone? He's just doing what all Dumocrat politicians are doing… distracting you away from the fact that they are letting you lose all your life savings while they rush to get there own pet projects passed right past you, to secure their own political jobs, lol!
Whoops! I misspelled 'disciple'! Sorry about that, I have as much trouble with that one as the word 'missile' – ever notice that second 'i' in there? I'm really one to cripe about Dittoheads misspellings, aren't I? Hahaha, humble pie time!
Also, Who am I to call Rush Limbo a windbag, right? My bad…
Keep in touch
I am a Truman Democrat, recently minted Obama desciple (it's true, it's tue!), and proud American. I just wanna say, I love Rush Limbo!
I love it when he slams President Obama (doncha jus' love how that sounds?), I love it when he questions his US birth (Hawaii, 1961 – 3 years after its statehood, btw – not that being born in a US territory would make any difference), I love it when he questions his religion (Christian, although he does have Moslem cousins on his father's side, which may come in rather handy in pursuing our enemies in our War on Terrorism, which concerns fanatics who often find shelter in that 1.2 billion-member global community), I even love it when he calls him a socialist, even a communist, which if you ask me is ridiculous, since this is SO obviously the defense of the predatory Super-Capitalists (remember the lessons of St Petersburg, 1917, folks? Or Paris, 1790? Or even the Haymarket & Homestead riots? Who's up for some good, old-fashioned beheadings? Anybody? C'mon!), and after all, as they complain that paying (finally!) their fair share of the tax code is 'punishing them for being successful' (what, like it's been okay all these decades to 'punish' the working poor & the middle class by forcing them to pay MORE than their fair share, just because there are so many of them?), they are so sure THEY know his plans, when the rest of us, even Obama himself, still do not. Has the whole right-of-center country had a drop in IQ, that they don't GET that a stimulus package, IN ORDER TO STIMULATE THE ECONOMY (!!!), must, by DEFINITION, be a spending bill??? How can U stimulate the economy only with tax breaks? Especially CORPORATE tax breaks? Wasn't the whole basis for the Reganomics 'Trickle-down' system pretty much discredited by, HELLO, the Stock Market Chernobyl of last September??? Yes, I LOVE Rush Limbo!
Why do I feel this way? Simple, really – Rush Limbo is a clown, a non-elected, non-partisan-affiliated (officially) RADIO TALK SHOW HOST – do all U shi – I , uh, I mean, Dittoheads get this, or is it just too many big words for ya? He HAS no real authority, except that which is percieved by an otherwise honorable political party (the GOP), newly broken and yes, sadly, not unbowed, down for the count on the mat, represented, as much as anyone, by the pathetic spectre of your average, non-professional, middle-class, middle-aged (hey, so far, that's me!), pissed-off White Male. My God, people, Rush's fanbase totals, at most, 14 million – nationwide – and he is about to be bounced from Armed Forces Radio (he insulted war-critical Iraqi theater GIs as 'phony soldiers'; it's all very ugly. Of course, with him, everything is); this amounts to between one-half and one-third of the proportion of the US African/American population (btw, did U lemmings know that, by mid-century, white Americans will be just another ethnic minority? Just like the planet is, now! I just hope they treat us better than we did them); but I digress…
My point is, Dittohead Nation, whenever Mr Limbo opens his pudgy, tobacco-stained mouth (hey, I smoke lil' cigars – with FILTERS!…okay, I can't talk), President Obama's stock goes up at least 2 points. It's currently at 68% approval, unprecedented for a freshly innaugurated chief executive, save for the immortal JFK's; Rush's is currently, and remains steady, at only 11%, nationally.
No read, yet, in the overseas-Armed Forces Radio market, since his 'Phony Soldiers' faux pas. That's French, Dittoheads, for 'fuck-up', and is pronounced 'FO-pah'. Thought you'd like to know, I'm always willing to educate…
You people need to get as comfortable as possible with a new concept, proven by recent, dare I say it, HISTORY: The radical right, whose spokemen were (and remain) the Evangelical Neo-Cons, were absolutely correct several years ago when they first touted the 'Battle for the Soul of America' – a battle that was fought last November 4th, on Election Day. The people – We, The People – won.
We intend to stay there for quite a while. Now that the professionals are in power, we will need time to fix a LOT of broken, abused shit…eventually, even the Supreme Court, just give us time. And as long as ol' Rush Limbo keeps serving up these juicy pearls, bulking up Obama's credibility (if by no other standard than as a point of comparison), scaring the GOP all across the national spectrum (basically, geographically from Arkansas east to South Carolina, about a half-dozen states), and scarring their credibility whenever they scurry, like roaches caught in the lights, to a phone to get on his Clear Channel show to apologize to their Fuerher, well…he is much, much too valuable to us.
So get used to it, Dittohead Nation, we are not going anywhere. We would prefer you to come to your senses (including Rush, believe it or not, he would make quite a valuable ally), but if you cultural Luddites cannot get used to it, I suggest that U find another planet to live on. We have progressed, after eight long, crushing years, from a titular Dictatorship to an enlightened Athenian Democracy, and the rest of the planet is THRILLED with our example of true sportsmanship and national good judgement.
I'm sure I'll get a terse response from some of you, no doubt a short, seethingly boiled-over piece, calling me a 'dangerous liberal' and a communist, accusing me of drinking the Democratic party grape Koolaid, full of short, misspelled, one-and-two-syllable words extolling the virtues of a man whose only qualification is that, as he once said on Late Night with David Letterman, his father owned the radio station. That's okay by me, I LOVE grape Koolaid; hell, I went back for seconds!
For what it is worth, if any of you are interested, Dave's big question to Rush was "Do…do you ever feel like saying to yourself, 'I'm just a big bag of hot gas!'?"
HE IS!
So knock yourselves out, SUCKERS!!!
And, no, I can't wait for the country to become Socialist! But it won't be by Barack's hand, that's what he's trying to avoid…blame for that must go to Dubya for his criminal incompetence, and God knows, there is plenty of blame to go around…
And f'Chrissakes, leave Rush alone! We Dems need him like free advertising you just can't buy…
"Limbaugh said he "hopes" President Obama fails to solve the country's problems."
This is an outrageous lie, about which I am outraged. I know you guys are leftist political hacks, but you could at least refrain from lying to your readers. This is not what Rush said, and if you spent 5 minutes on his website you'd know that.
Oh please, does anyone even listen to what Rush Limbaugh says anymore?? He's like your racist, half-senile grandfather whom you have to invite to Thanksgiving every year. Sure, you can try to correct him every time he goes on one of his long tyrades about how illegal immigrants are stealing our jobs and trying to turn us gay, but there's no point because he'll just give the same speech again at Christmas.
Obama hates anyone that says anything bad about him, the golden boy. He wants censorship alive and well after all it is a constitutional right. I am sure Rush is laughing all the way to the bank that is failing. Obama: I'll show Rush, I will just have to make America a third world country.
Outrage: It's what makes the [political fundraising] world go 'round.
An Internet Petition? Golly, Gee, Whiz. That’s change I can believe in. I’m sure Rush will be crapping his pants and begging for forgiveness. DCCC, while you are at it, why don’t you delete him from your MySpace friends list? That will really teach him a lesson.
