Rush on Hit list
Over the past few weeks, America has seen President Obama, White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emmanuel and former Campaign Manager David Plouffe channel much of their focus on what they see as a major problem facing America. You might think the object of this affection is the spiraling economy, which has led them to declare war on moderately successful investors and small business owners while they refuse to acknowledge a war on terror. That is certainly a focus. Secondarily, you might think it is the housing crisis, where they are attempting to cram down irresponsible mortgages so that responsible homeowners pay for the irresponsible mistakes of their neighbors. Definitely a focus. You may also think their focus is on creating a national health care plan, complete with community servicing centers and government run treatment plans paid for by a select few and at the expense of charitable contributions. Nobody argues that is a focus.
No, with these important issues being debated on Capitol Hill, President Obama, Rahm Emmanuel and David Plouffe have channeled their focus towards Rush Limbaugh. Arguably the most successful radio host in American history, Rush has historically drawn the ire of the left, for building an army of conservatives poised to battle bad ideas, and offer better solutions to the nation’s challenges. But this time, it is a bit more calculated, a bit more centralized and a bit more vitriolic. So the question has to be asked, why? Why would the President risk taking his eye off the ball to clash with one radio host?

As for me, I can't figure out why Rush has become such a boogie man to BHO and his underlings, unless it's their socialistic ideology and since when has it been against the law, constitution or unpatriotic to hope for the failure of an ideological agendas that you disagree with? Liberals were hardly treasonous when they hoped for the failure of George W. Bush's Social Security privatization scheme or the Iraq war for that matter. Yeha I know ya'll supported the4 troops and not the war, but that's like saying I support BHO, but not his agenda. It's one way or the other and folks have to take a stand.
I've seen the You Tube videos of what Limbaugh said and it has been taken out of context. From what I've seen he want's all Americans to prosper, he just wants socialism to fail and what is wrong with that. That's where we are headed. As the saying goes "the camel already has his nose under the tent". :worried:
BUt these days, you're a bad boy and will be black listed if you dare to disagree with the man.... hmmmm sounds like McCarthyism.
