Democrats Launch a Petition Against Rush

[need_a_Disney_fix]

Apparently the Dem campaign committee and Obama do.

Great comeback.

 

[Master Mason]

My take as a conservative.

Rush is a pompus windbag. Rush hold no elective office. Rush is an entertainer, and being an entertainer, he says what he feels is required to keep his audience entertained, and therefore returning to listen to him. Because people return to listen to him, advertisers pay the stations that carry him money for their air time, thereby making Rush a very rich man.

If you don't like what Rush has to say, don't listen to him, if more and more people didn't listen to him, then the advertisers would go away and his show would be canceled like any other show that has no audience.

It's really pretty simple actually.

Oh come on, that's so passe.

Rush is loving every minute of this.

 

[JonS99]

Just the liberals being the liberals, all for free speech as long as they agree with what a person is saying..

 

[JMD]

Will this be the beginning of the "Fairness Doctrine"? Do they have nothing else today except rail against a private citizen whom they have taken out of context? Are they worried?

Democrats Launch Petition Against Rush Limbaugh

(CNSNews.com) – The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee has launched an online petition for readers to express their outrage at conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh for saying last week that he wanted President Barack Obama to fail.

The petition includes a 19-second sound byte of Limbaugh, saying, “If I wanted Obama to succeed, I’d be happy the Republicans have laid down. I don’t want this to work. So I’m thinking of replying to this guy, say ‘okay, I’ll send you a response, but I don’t need 400 words, I need four: I hope he fails.’”

Meanwhile, Obama advised Republicans last Friday to stop listening to Limbaugh if they wanted to get along with Democrats and the administration.

Pretty pathetic move by the Democrats.

Your first mistake is thinking liberals understand market forces. It's that pesky thing they hate, capitalism!

[Planogirl]

I won't waste my time worrying about Rush but if others want to voice their outrage what do I care? It doesn't really accomplish anything but maybe it'll make some people feel better and I bet that Rush likes the attention.

 

[DancingBear]

This petition is silly, just as it was silly when Bill O'Reilly used to go off about Dems wanting Bush to fail.

This liberal is a staunch capitalist. But even Alan Greenspan has learned that unchecked capitalism is not a good thing.

 

[HakunaMatata2]

I'm thinking that Obama and the Dems would be making better use of their time working on the economy and deciding what to do with the Gitmo detainees rather than forcusing on Rush.

But we don't have unchecked capitalism, and haven't in Greenspan's lifetime, so how did he come to that conclustion exactly?

From spending too much time soaking in the bath tub.

No, we don't. It's getting way more coverage here on the Dis, than any where else.

The selective freedom of speech routine that the left enjoy in practicing.

So are you Obama, or the Dem campaign committee?

 

[DawnCt1]

Too funny! Rush is pushing back on the DNC.

Rush Responds to Democrat E-mail Petition Against Him: "I am greatly puzzled. Why would the Democrats petition against me if I am doing such terrible damage to the GOP? "
Reverse Petition: Click here to tell the DCCC and all other Democrats it is time to stop lying about and distorting Rush's comments on Barack Obama's War on Prosperity.

 

[eliza61]

Definitely not Obama.
but let's just say I worked in the NJ election board during the last couple of Presidential elections.

We give Rush the same concern we would give Louis Farraken, Anne coutler, or Rev. Wright. (very little) They are pretty much one in the same, people who use hate and fearmongering to effect change.
