Rush Limbaugh Used in Ad Bashing GOP

A George Soros-funded political action group has created a new advertisement bashing Republicans for having the nerve to pay attention to conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh.

For those unfamiliar, Americans United for Change is the far-left organization that brought a bus featuring videos of United States' soldiers being killed in Iraq to last August's Democratic National Convention.

They're also responsible for ads created in 2005 which aided in blocking Social Security reform.

Now they're urging citizens to "Tell Republicans that Americans Won't Take NO for an Answer" (embedded video and transcript below the fold):

ANNOUNCER: An economy in crisis! A president determined to act. But what did Republican leaders say to President Obama's jobs and recovery plan?

SEN. MITCH MCCONNELL: No.

ANNOUNCER: What did they say to 3.5 million jobs?

REP. JOHN BOEHNER: No.

ANNOUNCER: What did they say to tax cuts for 95% of working Americans?

REP. ERIC CANTOR: No.

ANNOUNCER: What did they say to rebuilding roads, bridges, and schools?

SEN. JOHN CORNYN: No.

MCCONNELL: No.

BOEHNER: No.

ANNOUNCER: So who are Republican leaders listening to?

RUSH LIMBAUGH: I want him to fail!

ANNOUNCER: Tell them America won't take 'no' for an answer anymore.

This is what Limbaugh had to say Friday:

I played it two or three more times, and I remembered James Carville all week and last Sunday out in the TV shows (Carville impression), "Mr. Rush Limbaugh is leading the Republican Party. Mr. Rush Limbaugh is a grand pooh-bah. He is Mr. IQ. He is the leader of the Republican Party." So Jonathan Martin says, "Do you have any response?" I said, "Look," and I sent him back an obscene response that I knew he couldn't use. He said, "Look, do you want me to run this? I can doctor it." I said, "No, no, no." Here's what I told him. "Look, the left needs demons. They need demons to distract everybody while they're trying to implement what they're trying to implement -- and Bush is gone, so I'm it. Because I'm the only one, apparently, not backing down on anything."

But here's the thing. Folks, I say this again. What is so damned important about the Democrats getting Republicans to join 'em on any of this? If this munificence, the Obama spending, is going to result in such magic -- if we're going to end up with that great utopia that the leftists of the world have always dreamed of -- why in the world would they want to credit Republicans for helping create it? Wouldn't they much prefer after this utopia is created to be able to point to me and to Boehner and to Newt and to Eric Cantor and say, "They didn't want you to be happy. They didn't want this utopia to succeed. Then try to stop us!" That would end the Republican Party forever. They could wipe out the Republican Party by going this alone and having it work as promised and then pointing fingers of blame at us. Instead, they want to demonize us.
