The Radio Equalizer blog just broke the news that “a group of Obamists headed by MoveOn.org are planning an anti-Rush Limbaugh attack radio ad campaign.” The radio spots, “set to begin tomorrow [Friday] on stations nationwide,” are “designed to put pressure on GOP moderates in the U.S. Senate who might be inclined to follow the lead of their House counterparts” who unanimously voted against President Obama's “stimulus” package.
Radio Equalizer's Brian Maloney has the transcript of the attack ad, which ends:
NARRATOR: Now the Obama plan goes to the Senate. And the question is: Will our Senator, (insert name here), side with Rush Limbaugh too?LIMBAUGH: I HOPE HE FAILS!
NARRATOR: Or, will he reject the partisanship and failed economic policies of the past, and stand up for the people of (state).
Call Senator (insert name here) now at (202) 224-3121. Tell him he represents you, not Rush Limbaugh.

January 29, 2009 - 21:48 ET by BDSadly, with Senators like we have, how can it not succeed? They already wish to turn and run faster than the nobles before the battle of Sterling in the movie Braveheart.
I can just see McCain and Graham sitting on a horse deciding what they can negotiate for better standing following a surrender with Longshanks.
Rush is simply riding out and "Picking a fight" with the bad guys.

The Senators don't have to support Rush, they have plenty of legitimate economist support. But I do agree with the ad, that we should not repeat failed economic policies of the past, as in 'stimulus'.

January 29, 2009 - 20:05 ET by superconMoveOn.Org is criticizing Rush Limbaugh for criticizing a president and trying to influence politicians?
That would be like Rosanne Barr calling Rosie ODonnell a fat cow.
These people have balls the size of watermelons.
Because with a name like Obama... you know it has to be good.
Changey-Hopey; not so much
January 29, 2009 - 20:09 ET by slickwillie2001I'm sure there is no coordination going on between the White House and the Move-On whores. That would be illegal of course.
Seriously?
January 29, 2009 - 20:09 ET by klchadwickThat's the best that they can do? With all of the political fodder being circulated by Liberals about both Republicans and EL Rushbo, they couldn't come up with anything better? Seriously?
Rush will welcome the free
January 29, 2009 - 22:37 ET by kgRush will welcome the free advertisement. His ratings will soar.

I doubt it
January 30, 2009 - 09:54 ET by JohnMcGrewThe new "stimulus" bill has been recognized for what it is, and even the MSM hasn't been able to hide that. Public opinion is against it by over 65%, and the "Spineless Senators", by definition, will not ignore that.
I think Rush will win this one.

January 29, 2009 - 20:22 ET by USA4freedomHummmm,
How did that line go..
I'm sick and tired of people who say that if you debate and disagree with this administration, some how you're not patriotic. We need to stand up and say we're Americans, and we have the right to debate and disagree with any administration.
Now if I could just remember who said it..

Insert: your name, 2008, and the Republican party.

Obama is so insecure and inconpetent. He can't handle anyone disagreeing.

Rush is running his own Ad
January 30, 2009 - 16:55 ET by NorthCoasterI heard the ad on the radio today and it was a hoot. The announcer presents the snippet of conversation that the MSM and Move on use but completes the comment with "the rest of the story ". By putting the whole comment out and in context, Rush counters the effort opf the attack propaganda. This is exactly what has been missing for the last 8 years and longer. We can't let attacks slide by without correction!
Being Rush has the ability
January 29, 2009 - 20:25 ET by danboBeing Rush has the ability to stop the annointed one all by himself. Rush must be more powerfull.
They're just trying to pressure the RINOs to tag along. So that they can blame the RINOs when it fails.
I thought the Dems had the power to do this all by themselves?

January 29, 2009 - 20:18 ET by danebramageNo, it's not that they have balls. They're just incredibly, incredibly stupid. They think they've received a mandate, but they haven't. Not even close. Obama was elected, as lefties always must be, on the basis of deception and subterfuge, which means what people liked were the pretty lies he told, not his (and their) actual plans.
It's going to be funny to watch these doofuses and their Wile E.Coyote act in the coming weeks. Their own bombs are going to be going off in their faces right and left as they continue to overplay their hand.

January 29, 2009 - 20:19 ET by 10ksnookerJust a guy with a radio show?

Given the nature of the
January 29, 2009 - 20:39 ET by BKeyserGiven the nature of the attacks, and the person (diety?) being attacked, do we now refer to Rush as the new Pontius Pilate?
Oh, this is just so
January 29, 2009 - 20:45 ET by bigtimerOh, this is just so precious.
They know Rush is going to be gone all next week...he announced it Wed.
What perfect timing...and timing is everything politically.
These dirt-balls...we have to use that same switch-board # at the end of the blog post here, and do exactly as the enemy within requests...tell you Senator how you feel about all of the Porkulous Bill...more and nore details are coming out each day with what all is crammed inside, more will come out yet before the Senate ever goes to a final vote./
We must fight O/Soros machine...and we may have a chance, call the dem Senators too in your state, I have no choice as they are both dems, going to be doing so as amendments come up ect.
This is a rich minefield...with the potential to backfire on the enemy...if enough of us unite across the land....from sea to shining sea.
We must fight O/Soros machine
January 29, 2009 - 21:27 ET by Gat New YorkThat is precisely what this is.
Soros is pulling the strings and Obama is the dummy mouthing the words.
Even during the campaign there was an effort to create a 1984 Ministry of Truth. With Obama's paper-thin skin and demand that things be done only his way, we will see a massive effort to stifle free speech in many forms.

Just catching up here and there from last evening.
Rush is saying what I was saying above too, these idiots are so silly as to put that number out there not realizing that people like us out in the real world are going to use that same switch-board number to let Senators know their support of Rush, let alone the disgust with the Stimulus bill.

NARRATOR: Now the Obama plan goes to the Senate. And the question is: Will
our Senator, (insert name here), side with Rush Limbaugh too?
Translation: You voted for Obama because he said he could unite
Washington and the country. Obviously he lied so we are here to make up
for his shortcomings.
LIMBAUGH: I HOPE HE FAILS! (No Translation needed)
NARRATOR: Or, will he reject the partisanship and failed economic policies
of the past, and stand up for the people of (state).
Translation: Sure the economy has gone in the tank since the democrats
took over congress. This stimulus package is to
insure that we grow the government so big that there is no way the republicans
can ever take control again. We don’t really
care about the country as long as we liberals run it.

represents you, not Rush Limbaugh.
Call your senator and tell him/her that because Obama is a

January 29, 2009 - 21:26 ET by Retired GeekThe average citizen in America has NO idea what Marxism or Socialism means.
All people know is that the economy is bad and the reoublicans were in charge, they don't even know the Democrats were in charge the last two years..
Many of them do NOT even know who Pelosi or Reid is.
The cost of political ignorance in America is going to be great.
Barack Obama is the 'American Idol' who will fix all that is wrong to most Americans.
Why does the most powerful man in the world care about Rush Limbaugh?
I believe it is because Barack Obama is a malignant narcissist and any criticism of him is worse to him than any policy that might fail.
Obama wants to crush any powerful man or woman and will even turn on Liberals at some point - those Democrats who voted against his stimulus plan will pay and pay dearly at some point.

And by their measures it was. It captured several vote blocks for the left forever. It increased the size of government. It drove up taxes. It assuaged liberal guilt. It diminished individual liberty and responsibility. It created many more problems for the government to "solve".
A smashing success in the liberal view.

They'll measure success or failure allright, but will ignore any conclusion revealing their own shortcomings.
oooh! One I'm qualified to respond to!
January 30, 2009 - 10:36 ET by TexasteacherIn my experience with an urban school district, the biggest problem is the students unwillingness to take responsibility for anything, whether it is their attitude, their work ethic, or their grades. Liberal policies encourage this and prolong it at the teachers' expense. The worst one being "social promotion". Whomever came up with that needs to be shot.
These kids have been spoon-fed every bit of information their entire life and now demand it in high school. They even know what to say to goad a teacher into just divulging the answers. When I make my students actually work for something and push them to keep trying, mommy calls the next day saying I'm too tough with her little precious. What a crock of s***! I'm investing time in them while I have them in class to learn skills and work ethic essential to survival in the work force. I try to invest time in them now so I don't have to give tax money later to support their dumb a**es on welfare.
obama's notion of bi-partisanship is telling conservatives to shut up and do what he wants.

It's time to relabel Liberal Democrats
January 30, 2009 - 08:41 ET by PaulJamesLiberals seem to like their name. They seem very proud of it.
We have to change that.
The one name the public hates is COMMUNIST
We must be effective at labeling the opposition.
Let's take some lessons from Saul Alinsky
Hilary and BHO both used these rules to take on the system.
"There's another reason for working inside the system. Dostoevski said that taking a new step is what people fear most. Any revolutionary change must be preceded by a passive, affirmative, non-challenging attitude toward change among the mass of our people. They must feel so frustrated, so defeated, so lost, so futureless in the prevailing system that they are willing to let go of the past and change the future. This acceptance is the reformation essential to any revolution. To bring on this reformation requires that the organizer work inside the system, among not only the middle class but the 40 per cent of American families
RULE 5: "Ridicule is man's most potent weapon." There is no defense. It's irrational. It's infuriating. It also works as a key pressure point to force the enemy into concessions.
RULE 8: "Keep the pressure on. Never let up." Keep trying new things to keep the opposition off balance. As the opposition masters one approach, hit them from the flank with something new.
RULE 10: "If you push a negative hard enough, it will push through and become a positive." Violence from the other side can win the public to your side because the public sympathizes with the underdog.
RULE 12: Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it." Cut off the support network and isolate the target from sympathy. Go after people and not institutions; people hurt faster than institutions.
Do any of you have a problem with using their own tactics against them?

When the great Bob Feller Pitched
January 30, 2009 - 11:01 ET by JIMMY1660he may have had some fans who thought he was not on his game for every pitch. They would heckel him. Did he pay attention. NO!!
On the other hand if a so-so player had the same experience that player got up set-had rabbit ears. BHO has rabbit ears. Pay attention to the game, keep your eye on the ball. If BHO was the leader he pretended to be, a warrior fighting for America, nothing said would affect his decision or actions. BHO is a joke.There must always be someone to critque, give other opinions.
Who in the hell does BHO think he is? 55+ million did not vote for him. His stimulus bill has no stimulus unless you are a dead beat.
Yes we have 7+% unemployment that means 93% of us are working, give us a tax break, i do not need the Government to give me back my money through someone who has not paid taxes. Tax holiday on income and corporate taxes for 3-6 months and lets see how that works.

I'm archiving DNCC comments
January 30, 2009 - 13:31 ET by gopcongressI'm downloading, and archiving, the DNCC comments that asked for the petition to send to Rush regarding the resolution by Congress to censor him. NB reported it in an earlier thread.
So far, there are 1850 comments. Of those, 1777 are unique username/location combinations. Of those 1777, 1492 are pro-Rush, only 210 support the petition, and the rest are neutral.
I have the excel sheet, and will be breaking it down this weekend, when I'll expect to have about 2000 comments broken down. Once I finish, would anyone like the results of this DNCC petition to silence Rush?
Objective results analysis (also known as "Scoreboard, baby!!) is the best revenge.
Count me in gop...
January 30, 2009 - 16:01 ET by JPR1Post over in the forum or check with our NB leaders, maybe get it into a main page post.
I'm archiving the DNCC Petition comments for analysis

gopcongress... I sure

I sure would!
Still crunching the numbers
January 31, 2009 - 03:37 ET by gopcongressIn fact, I made a mistake earlier involving duplicate posts. However, I still will have about 1600 unique commentors to process. The comment count has seemed to taper off around 1900 total so I'll do the final tally by 2 pm eastern, then I'll assign the categories I mentioned earlier for a detailed analysis. I'll post by then.
FINISHED!
February 1, 2009 - 17:01 ET by gopcongressI completed the comment analysis from the petition initiated by Brian Wolff, Executive Director of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC). Ostensibly, the purpose of the petition was to marginalize Rush Limbaugh from other GOP members in congress by energizing the Democratic (read: Socialist) base. It kinda worked the other way though.
The analysis can be obtained from this location:
http://gopcongress.4...
BOTTOM LINE: I downloaded 1902 comments from the petition. Out of the unique comments, over 96% of all the comments SUPPORTED RUSH LIMBAUGH! Less than 4% came out in favor of supressing Limbaugh.
The excel sheet, which contains the names and locations of the posters, as well as their comments, are contained for posterity. Blog hosts may wish to have this document to pick out comments they find interesting to post. If anyone wants to forward the link to Rush himself, they are more than welcome to do so. Something tells me that Mr. Brian Wolff will neglect that little task he mentioned in his little spiel.
(Now he will probably brag at getting nearly 2,000 additional emails to give to the DCCC to get himself a bonus! And they grimace at Wall Street giving their bonuses out...ha ha).
The rise of the neoMarxist hatemongers
January 30, 2009 - 15:42 ET by j17ghsKarl Marx defined peace as the end of opposition to socialism. Therefore, people like Limbaugh have no right to free speech, but only because he is exposing Marxist lies by the minute.
Speaking of Marxist Big Lies, Marxists liked to say that they might not agree with something but that they would defend to the death your right to say it.
it's not about rush
January 30, 2009 - 19:59 ET by ONUVit's not about rush limbaugh. it's about silencing opposing voices.
liberals don't have much confidence in their policies and rightly so. they don't like free speech because it allows people to expose their weak policies.
