Liberals’ Radio Ad Says: Don’t Listen to Limbaugh
ABC News’ Teddy Davis and Steve Portnoy Report:
The liberal Americans United for Change group announced on Friday that it is launching a new radio ad campaign targeting Republican Sens. John Ensign of Nevada, George Voinovich of Ohio, and Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania, calling on them to reject Rush Limbaugh who recently said he hopes President Barack Obama fails.
The group’s president, Brad Woodhouse, says that Limbaugh’s "instructions were followed in the House as not a single Republican voted in favor of the Obama plan despite the President’s bipartisan outreach to the Republican caucus."
These 60-second radio ads, entitled “Rush to Failure,” are designed, according to the group, to "put Republican Senators on notice: the public expects them to represent their interests not the interests of Rush Limbaugh."
The new radio spots go up on Friday and run through the middle of next week by which time the United States Senate is expected to be well into consideration of the stimulus bill.
The spots are running on three stations which broadcast Limbaugh’s radio show — WTAM in Cleveland, KXNT in Las Vegas, and KKOH in Reno — in addition to a fourth station in Philadelphia, KYW, that does not carry Limbaugh.

Brilliant. Pit that fat, angry p.o.s. Limbaugh against Obama and his 65% approval rating. The GOP just cannot learn that there is more besides its angry, xenophobic base, and until it does, the Democrats’ share of the electorate will continue to grow.

Saul Alinski’s book Rules for Radicals: A Pragmatic Primer for Realistic Radicals, says that the left needs to” personalize their opposition.” For example. Hitler laying the blame of Germany on the feet of certain bankers/industrialists with the old stab in the back theory. Repeated over and over with propaganda methods, it becomes commonly understood as fact. This is right in line with William Ayers’ book Fugitive Days where he once predicted a quarter million civilian deaths in the planned overthrow of the US Government. Now the Left has taken over and not a shot fired.

I think that all voters in Kentucky, Arkansas should contact their elected representatives immediately. apparently they will have to wait til mid February to get their power restored. If McConnel and others keep refusing to which would provide money for infrastructure -the voters will pay the price.

Paige – I think they should add what Gingrey said at first which was that basically Limbaugh, Coulter, Hannity etal are a hinderance to the Republican party then play his retraction on Limbaugh’s show. Yep that’s my representative. Oh yeah!!!!!!!

Colonel Rebel—”Repeated over and over with propaganda methods, it becomes commonly understood as fact.” this is Limbaugh pure and simple. Limbaugh has much more in common politically and world-view with Hitler—racism,xenophobia, eradication of political parties, homophobia, hatred of the disabled, immmigrants, gays. this is Limbaugh’s propaganda. i’ve heard it.
Limbaugh made fun of a decorated war veteran who lost multiple limbs in service to her country because she didn’t share his views. this from a man addicted to controlled substances (something the average american would have done jail time). he used his pilonidal cyst to get out of saving his nation. he is uneduacated (The Rush Limbaugh Institute of Advanced Conservative Studies, ROFLMFAO).
liberals are not associated with race hatred, xenophobia, homophobia (and the list goes on…). liberals led the civil rights movements of every dsicriminated class. there are some noble republicans who are commited to social justice but has fiscal reasons for party affiliation, but as you know, those are very few and far between.
is there any sincere objection that Limbaugh is not being racist and intolerant on every issue except those affecting white “natural born” men? when has he ever stood up for a civil rights issue. one time he did concsider the “liberal courts” as absolutely essential was when he was looking at doing jail time.

Russian Limberger is anti-American, a terrorist trying to defeat Obama’s efforts to build back the country
after 8 years of Bush. Bush and the Republicans had every opportunity. Limberger is a radical, self-
centered man who is putting his PR and building his image over our country. He should be shipped off
to the Middle East and join bin Laden, and they can sit around and enjoy their cigars.

Rush, Hannity, and Glen are of the same fabric of faillure and misguided minds. Listen to their hate talk, there is no real difference between them and Adolf Hitler. They all are uggly human beings who hate temselves and their country.

Don’t just listen to the “liberals” thoughts on the GOP – Ambinder has the following posted and it offers striking insight and spells the worst kind of leadership trouble for the Republicans and their future.
“Young Republicans feel marginalized and ignored by party leadership, and they’re concerned that the current generation of Republican Party standard-bearers have yet to properly balance a conservative ideology with the reality of existence in the 21st century.
A survey conducted for the Young Republican National Federation, which claims more than 10,000 members, finds that the RNC chairman candidates’ views on social issues are important to only 6% of the 1,249-person sample.”

You libs just don`t get it all Rush is trying to say is make your own money and we need the tools to do that. Remember your boss needs to make more money than you do or you make nothing. Unless you work for the goverment which I guess you all want to do. Obama wants to cut out the work part and just give you the money….. Good luck with that.

spacerook1—Hitler and Limbaugh share the same world-view: the hatred of that which is not white and those who dissent. our economic situation was similar to Germany’s and we managed not to round up Jews. superficial similarities.
Limbaugh spews forth hatred that only Goebbels could top. Goebbels and Limbaugh are the same except Goebbels went to college. but they both exude hate like the purulent discharge which emerges for Limbaugh’s pilonidal cyst.

In fact, Russian communism becoame nothing more than a way to control the people, and nothing to do with the concept of people sharing the bounty.

It seems the GOP should be basing their decisions on facts and not the beliefs of a radio host. Limbaugh is famous for repeating untruths until his followers and perhaps himself, believe them. It is sad to hear how frightened and angry he can get his audience with these lies.
I wish a boycott of his advertisers was put into place for his racist remarks about our president and others.

We are now seeing who the Liberals truely are with their hate-mongering talk against Rush. These are the smae people who demonized Busy on a daily basis for eight years. Rush tells the true facts about Liberals, how they think and how disgustingly hateful they are. Obama will fail not becuase of what Rush says but of his own doing.

Lydia, Limbaugh is not an elected official but a private citizen and has the rights of freedom of speech just like the Hollywood dogs who abuse their media access privilages to voice personal political beliefs. Before you criticize Rush, I want to hear you criticize Sean Penn’s anti American visits with Hugo Chavez, etc.
Besides, informed voters are the democrats worst enemy.

Failure is not an option. We are all Americans. If one of us fails, we all will be economically, socially, mentally, or physically affected. If one of us succeeds in cleaning up what was previously messed up…then we all will rejoice and celebrate while reaping the benefits thereof. I want to see any president of this U.S.A. succeed…and I want all those people who are still sitting in the sand sucking their thumb and harping on race, creed, color, national origin, or religious differences as the basis for comments, thoughts, and decisions about matters that affect this country—to please–please–please…just “GROW UP!!!!”

Posted by: Joe Fattal | January 30, 2009, 3:16 pm 3:16 pm
Colonel Rebel—
Saul Alinsky and Rules for Radicals is stale, boring and actually smeels worse than Limbaugh’s pilonidal. the ONLY similarities between USA in 2008 and 1930s Germany is that Limbaugh embraces (some) NAZI philosophy: anti-minority, anti-intellectual, xenophobic, homophobic, misogynistic, racist…
Limbaugh is a big, fat, pseudo-shiek Goebbels. both share the same world view. like the song goes ” he might be a gangsta but his rap is trash.”
Posted by: Paul Wall | January 30, 2009, 3:20 pm 3:20 pm
Joe Fattal—i think if Hitler were around Limbaugh would be his Goebbels. but who could withstand the smell of the purulence that comes out of that pilonidal cyst mouth? that’s Limbaugh’s downfall, the stink, the fat and the sweat.
Posted by: Paul Wall | January 30, 2009, 3:24 pm 3:24 pm
In the 1920s, Americans invested millions in the German airline and aircraft builder. The planes were designed from the start to be easily converted to long-range bombers. In the 1930s, Hitler announced that he now had an air force, the world’s largest. Hitler’s used his government power to control the media. In the face of millions of Germans out of work and starving, it would not be an unreasonable position to hope that Hitler’s policies failed so his government could be replaced. People who were at odds with the government, like Mr. Limbaugh, had to flee with nothing just to save themselves. Also, most of the countries, like the USA under democrat rule, refused such immigrants.
Posted by: Colonel Rebel | January 30, 2009, 3:28 pm 3:28 pm
mark—”Thanks for the help you morons! Kid, be cool, listen to Rush. Your lib-loser parents want you to say “no”.”
no kids are going to listen to Rush. what’s cool about him? his hatred for minorities, his pompous anti-intellectualism and pseudo-erudition? only a handful of school-yard bullies would think Limbaugh is cool. like all draft-dodging, drug addicted, uneducated racists and misogynists he’s exposed for what he is. all about “God=America.” the pilonidal cyst will pour out some more purulence before he moves on to a better drug.
which is the worst about Limbaugh: his racism, his sexism, his making fun of limbless war heroes, his homophobia, his xenophobia?
i fully respect his right to have his AM radio show and spew forth hate speech. the more he spreads his hate the better it is for our nation: to know that there are people who spread the gospel of hatred and to always be vigilent. the Holocaust happened once (thanks to people with Limbaugh’s beliefs and it can happen again). but by all means get the confederate flag out and start the hate, nothing illegal about that. it’w where this hate leads that’s the problem.

don’t confuse Jews with Limbaugh. Limbaugh shares ideology with the NAZIs. no one has targeted Limbaugh for deportation, lol. no one cares. why do you pretend he is a victim.

You libs should wake up and smell the coffee. Rush, Hannity, Howard Stern, etc. all have the right to say what they want and when they want.

at least you get your gutter chuckle from making fun of people, just like your master “Puff the Magic Negro” HAHAHAHAHA. pathetic. purulense from the pilonidal cyst of your almighty Limbaugh. ROFLMFAO

Exactly the way the Founding Fathers intended.

I can’t believe that responsible broadcast owners would allow a person to advocate not once but constantly that the President of the United States fail. That means this person wants the USA to fail. What benefit would it be to advocate failure. We need a strong leader and everyone should rally around to help us out of this deep mess that this man has had to contend with in only his first week in office. What ever happened to a honeymoon transition. Lets work together and remove the thorn that is advocating failure.

Why don’t people recognize that Limbaugh’s tired kind of programming is nothing more than his way of pulling in listeners with the shock factor. Is he really attacking Obama, or is he attacking the American people? We did vote for our newest president didn’t we?
The easiest way to get rid of someone like this is to simply not listen to them or support those who advertise with him.

As a side note, President Hussein is actively trying to limit (control) some of your Constitutional rights such as the 1st and 2nd amendments..Posted by: TxBoB | Jan 30, 2009 8:08:02 PM
You mean like unwarranted wire taps, eavesdropping on our soldiers calling their spouses from the middle east and the so-called “free speech zones”, the death of habeas corpus. Yeah, that previous administration did one heckuva job defending the Constitution..only when it suited them.

Rush Limbaugh is a drug crazed addict who is getting rich off of gullible and mentally challenged people. Any one who takes him seriously needs help. These right winged neocons who have driven America and Americans into the ground should pack up and leave. They should go to some other country and screw it up and let Obama put America back together again.

Paul Wall: You sir are at the absolute bottom of the cesspool of stupidity!One day you’re going to wake up to a totally different America. No longer the “Home Of The Brave and The Land Of The Free”. We’ll all be subservient to our government without rights and priviledges of any kind, especially free speech. Do your homework, pay attention to what’s really going on around you and put that infestesimal sized brain of yours to work for something besides your senseless blathering and hate!

StimulusPiggie—communism, socialism? do you even have any idea what those concepts mean. or is it just “ditto Rush”? “liberal entitlement” is just Limbaugh-speak for bigotted racism. ohhh, Michael Savage. i just read his book. typical racist drivel. but he won the Braveheart Award? is that for being what’s underneath the bottom of the barrel? i am proud to pay my taxes and i pay much but manage to do so without being a racist and blaming social inequality on minorities. why not ask your white friends at the trailer park to get a job and pay taxes? they’re too busy listening to Limbaugh and gut chuckling with racial animosity (“ditto Rush”). most of of his listeners have no clue or care about the economy or this country…it’s all about the minorities and what are they getting. who cares, do your job, go home and chill!

Mike M—any America without racism and bigotry if fine with me Mike. “home of the free and land of the brave”? come on. we’re not third graders. patriotism isn’t property of The Rush Limbaugh Institute of Advanced Conservative Studies, Inc. i’ve done my homework, sir. i’ve read Marx. and i fear the fascist right much more than any communist boogie-man Limbaugh could ever conjure up. what am i missing. Reagan, two bushes have run this country into the ground through fiscal deregulation and letting financial institutions amok. yeah so now we have to pay taxes. at least i do.
there are things much worse than taxes, like racial hatred and the slippery sloap to totalitarian rule: xenophobia, homophobia, anti-semitism. we’ve seen it in WWII, do we have to go there again? the economy is bad so we blame everyone but ourselves.

nd Mike, when has America ever been “home of the free?” as a society we are still fighting tooth and nail to enforce the civil right act of 1964. have you heard of Jim Crow? that’s still America in most places. white men have always been free. others have done all the work!

I’ve been urging everyone to “BOYCOTT” – Rush Limbaugh and that Arrogrant Sean Hannity of Faux News, and those Sponsors who advertise their products on their Radio & TV shows, Don’t buy anything or any products from those Companies who advertise on their Shows! Rush Overweight Limbaugh is a complete and Total “LOSER”,& Degenerate, and should NOT be allowed to even have a format for his Pathetic NEO-CON mouth and attitude – but then again, thanks to his own Ignorance and Stupidity, he’s just keeps isloating himself, and helps make the Fraudulent Corrupt Republican party look badd and everybody sees them for who they really are now – Crooks and Schiesters, with that Blonde Bimbo Ann Coulter caught right between them,, on all fours no Doubt !!!!!

You mean to tell me that this ignorant, loud-mouthed, obnoxious druggie is still on the air? I can’t believe anyone would actually listen to a word that comes out of his mouth.

I find that many of Rush’s critics have not listened to him; therefore they spread incorrect information. Rush said he hoped Obama’s current stimulus package fails (nothing to do with Obama’s success as President). If you take the time to read where the money is allocated in the current stimulus package, you will find that it’s loaded with pork. Very little there to stimulate the economy. Obama said he would never sign a bill that was loaded with pork – guess we’ll see. If you strictly gave the money to American households, each would receive thousands of dollars. You’ll be lucky to get a few hundred dollars.
Liberals are always defending free speech – but only for liberals. Why are NPR (has to receive gov’t money to survive), Air America and liberal talk show hosts failing? Because no one listens to them.
For eight years we heard the most vile things said about President Bush (I’m sure our enemies loved it) – but now we are not supposed to criticize Obama.
I was a Democrat for 25 years, until I realized that 35 years of a Congress controlled by Democrats ruined the country (by enacting all the entitlements and free rides). And here we go again! I think the voters who elected Obama will be surprised to find he has clay feet. Right now he has to make good on promises to those who elected him (i.e. – the right to sue, without time limits, for equal pay is a payback to the labor unions).
There are actually free loaders out there who think they will be rich this year because Obama will pay their bills (take money from successful businesses and successful individuals and give it to them). That’s why they voted for him.
The reason more and more companies are laying off employees is because of the threats Obama made about more taxes for businesses.

It is also interesting to me that liberals cannot have a discussion about facts – they immediately have to resort to personal attacks and name calling.
Posted by: fleagle | January 31, 2009, 11:33 am 11:33 am
fleagle—i’ve listened to Limbaugh many times. his feelings about Obama are the least of my concerns. what concerns me is not how he belittles the president. it’s how he belittles routinely and with relish ethnic minorities, disibled veterans, gays, women and everyone who doesn’t his belief.
there have always been “freeloaders” but they don’t win or lose elections. many don’t even vote. al though i would never have voted for McCain i do know friends who would have voted for him had his rallies not become xenophobic, racist free-for-alls.
words are nothing. it’s where Limbaugh’s thoughts lead to is what concern me.
i would have respect for Limbaugh as i would for any politician who had fiscal concerns about the stimulus package. his dedicated efforts and belittling minorities of every stripe is what bothers me and most americans. most american’s believe in the founders’ creed not the creed of racial animosity and hatred.
please let us know when he has ever supported civil rights (save the time he used the “libearal” courts to save his jail time). he is, with O’Reily, Hannity, Coulter, Savage, ana dvocate of right privilege and the turning back the hands of time on every form of civil rights.

fleagle33…couldn’t have said it better myself. Well, I actually did, before the author of this blog is reviewing my comment for censorship I suppose. Go figure.
To the rest of you libbies, eventually you will figure out exactly what you have elected. but by then it could possibly be too late.
To the author of this blog and ABCNews, thanks for the censorship! I’m beginning to feel right at home in new AmeriKa.

i thought this was a rant on obama’s rush to disappoint many traders are economists are talking about. but..
i now understand that liberals are just attacking an entertainer.
grow up!! the GOP attack paris hilton, your most intellectual liberal voice,
or any other liberal entertainer.
in the future create a slogan that is easy to understand who you are gaffing about and stop attacking right wing entertainers and celebrities.
