Who Cares About Rush Limbaugh

One of our local leftist loons, quoted here by Robert, does his part to spread the Party's talking points o' the month (while accusing everyone else of partisanship):

So when Republicans get in line behind a drug addict like Limbaugh and state that they want Obama to fail, what they are saying, folks, in effect, is that they want Obama's measures to rescue America to fail.

No. They are saying that they want Obama's plans to fail because Obama's plans are destructive for America.

That is the issue. That is why the stock market has been going down since it became likely that Obama would be elected, and why the market has continued to decline since Obama's inauguration. Obama/Pelosi's spending, taxing and regulating schemes destroy wealth and opportunity.

Rush Limbaugh is irrelevant, a phony issue cooked up by the permanent campaign to distract attention from the obvious fact that the Great One is wrecking our economy. What kind of President focuses his scarce time and political capital on conducting carefully planned and focus-grouped demagogic attack campaigns against media critics during an economic meltdown? How does that help the country? Obama is demonstrating ideologically driven incompetence on a colossal scale, not to mention a shocking level of personal arrogance and narcissism. That's the issue, he's the issue, not Rush Limbaugh. It's as if Nixon were still in office or we were living in some kind of marginal third-world country where the government was always conducting propaganda campaigns against enemy conspiracies.

And who cares about Carville. Harry Reid and Chuck Schumer as recently as 2006 were telling the media (and our enemies) with obvious glee that we were losing in Iraq. So was Obama. They were saying it for the purest, most cynical partisan motives. But that's all forgotten now that W's won that war. On to today's talking points...
