Rush making front page news!
This is the best thing that can happen to Democrats, both him and Coulter should be plastered all over front page news next week spreading their message of hate and anti Americanism. The people need to see who is representing their party.

8. LOL
I was flipping through the channels toaday and saw walrus cheeks on so I listened to what he was saying and when he said that I spit my coffee out from laughing so hard.

I'm guessing he's another that doesn't really listen to the American People.

2. The dittoheads wouldn't dare have a thought of their own.
They need it spoon fed.

Otherwise they'd be liberals.

3. There's something strange going on here
Republican party operatives and advisers KNOW that Coulters and Limbaughs can't save the party, and in fact will damage it further than it already is.

Who is behind this?

:shrug:

10. Looks like he played right into the Dem's hands. ROLF.

Dems are probably laughing their asses off at their stoke of luck and the GOP's stupidity for allowing that fat gasbag on the stage in the first place. I read somewhere (Huff Post maybe) that he spoke about an hour longer than he was supposed to! That means he wasn't supposed to make a speech at all!! GOP leaders are probably so pissed!! ROLF

Top Dems Planning Amped Up Efforts To Elevate Rush As GOP’s Public Face

Key Democratic operatives are planning a stepped up campaign to promote Rush Limbaugh as the public face of the GOP — an effort that will include recruiting Dem governors to make this case on talk shows, getting elected officials to pen Op eds arguing it, and running more ads pushing it, a senior Democratic operative says.

Key leadership staff in the House and Senate, and in all the political committees, have been encouraged by senior Dem operatives to push this message wherever possible, the operative says.

“I’m encouraging everybody to go out and say this,” Paul Begala, the well-known Dem strategist, just told me by phone. “I’m hot for this. Let’s get this out every way we can.”

Begala is emerging as a major cheerleader and public face for this effort, though he says he’s not formally directing it. He described the effort as “organic” right now, though senior Democrats are discussing ways to formalize it.

Another sign that Dems will be amping up efforts to stamp Rush’s face on the GOP is the fact that Brad Woodhouse, a major proponent of this strategy, will soon take over as communications director at the Democratic National Committee. Woodhouse’s current group, Americans United for Change, just launched a new ad pressing the Rush-owns-the-GOP message.

“I’m encouraging every Democrat, every progressive, to be pointing out this powerful but painful truth: The party of Lincoln is now the Party of Limbaugh,” Begala continued. “We should make every Republican answer this: Why do they want our president to fail?”

Begala’s partner on CNN, James Carville, who first articulated the Rush message in early February, is also pushing Dems to blare this message, he confirms. “He is the embodiment of the Republican party, circa 2009,” Carville said.
