		<description>It&#039;s not just Republicans who will go tune in to Rush.  By making Rush the lead of every newscast for months on end, which is what they&#039;d like to do, and by the partisan media playing extended clips of his audio on these widely heard outlets, they are going to cause independents and some Democrats to tune in to see what all the fuss is about.

And Rush, unfiltered by media, is exceedingly compelling to common people.

Bring it on.  This is fine with me.</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;1. Obama seems to be doing what you’re criticizing Bush for not doing - repsonding to criticism.&lt;/I&gt;
Got, like a specific?  Other than the fact that he&#039;s talking like a BlueDog and legislating like Karl Marx that one escapes me.

&lt;I&gt;2. I think you’ve misread the motives of Obama and Co, they’re not trying to destroy Rush, they’re trying to make him the symbol of the Republican Party and harm it...&lt;/I&gt;
And just what planet do you live on?  Of course they&#039;re trying to destroy Rush - and the Republican Party, too - because the most effective way to destroy the Party is to destroy it&#039;s symbols.  Which is why I&#039;ve advocated for years that we should be doing exactly that to Democrats - and I&#039;ll throw in moderates too.  We should have a media team whose job is to lynch the symbols of the Democratic Party in the media every day.  Unfortunately we don&#039;t and they do.

&lt;I&gt;Rush is a simplistic hyper-partisan, and if Obama can get independents to listen to him, than Rush will do much more to bring indys over to the liberal side than Obama ever could.&lt;/I&gt;
People just like you made the same arguments against Ronald Reagan and against Newt and the Contract With America.  Guess what?  Both were overwhelming landslides with the American People and it took fools like GHW Bush, Christy Whitman, etal to actually stop the conservative tide.</description>

		<description>Because simply, you will never convince true conservatives that Rush Limbaugh isn&#039;t attractive and exciting and completely 100% compelling.  I mean, golly...how could anyone in their right mind not get him?

And you&#039;ll never convince a moderate or Democrat that Rush Limbaugh is anything other than a big fat blowhard that can dish it out but can&#039;t take it.  

So at this point there isn&#039;t much to do but wait and see.  How many of those moderates and independants come &quot;Rushing&quot; over.</description>

		<description>The hyper-partisan rants of Rush are very attractive to his base.  The thing is, Rush&#039;s base just can&#039;t understand that those hyper-partisan rants just aren&#039;t appealing to moderates and independants.

The Democrats are peeing-in-their-pants happy that Rush is in the limelight.  They absolutely want him to stay there, with all attention focused on him.  Two reasons: because they think he&#039;s repulsive to independants, and that eventually he&#039;ll cause a huge rift between moderate Republicans and conservative Republicans.

The strategy isn&#039;t so dumb, really.</description>

		<description>Democrats couldn&#039;t care less if more Republicans listen to Rush, or if he shores up his base even more.  The &quot;Rush is head of Republicans&quot; strategy is all about pushing Rush into the spotlight.  They WANT people to hear him.

It&#039;s just that the Democrats are convinced that the moderates and independants will be repelled by his hyper-partisan rants, and the Republicans (well....Conservatives) are convinced that anyone who&#039;s not a diehard liberal will have a come-to-Jesus moment when they hear Rush, abandon their independant ways, and become Conservatives.

It&#039;ll be interesting to see how it all pans out.</description>

		<description>They got used to beating Bush up without his responding, and think they can still get away with that whole diversion thing with impunity.  They don&#039;t have Bush to kick around anymore, so they chose the next biggest conservative icon.  Bush wouldn&#039;t fight back.  Rush makes his living talking to a 20 mill or so audience three hours a day, five days a week, and has done so for 20 years.  They&#039;re amateurs at this sort of thing (as they clearly are at most things) and Rush is the consummate professional.

I&#039;m reminded of Marilyn Monroe so enamored of herself and not understanding the true nature of the situation that she asked Joe Dimagio if he had any idea  what it was like to have 10 thousand people in one place cheering just for you. 

This is actually going to be fun to watch (er... listen-to that is).</description>

		<description>to be objective, things wouldn&#039;t be like this...

We are constantly fighting the spin because no one else will....and I agree, it &#039;looks&#039; like we&#039;re fighting....the line is drawn

Not a good first impression for budding Moderates.......but I believe that regular people appreciate toughness and Intelligence and that&#039;s what we never fail to project...

Fight on!!</description>

		<description>I care nothing about a proposed debate, and I think that THEY think they have successfully sold the &quot;nasty old Rush Limbaugh&quot; meme.

But I&#039;m serious when I say this.  MSM outlets are playing extended Rush segments (not just sound bites).  And people are going to tune directly in to Rush, which will take away the media&#039;s filter.

And another thing.  Maybe it&#039;s wrong, but I&#039;m not doing any more &quot;formal processes&quot;.  I think we can successfully kneecap Obama.</description>

		<description>No?  Didn&#039;t think so.

The Democrats are ON RECORD as saying they are making a coordinated effort to make Rush their Bush. They are not &quot;focusing attention&quot;.. They are making up mud pies and throwing them.</description>
