re: #412 Bloodnok

If you don’t think that a large segment of the left (and Independents) consider Limbaugh to be “the mouthpiece” for the right, either officially or unofficially then I would like to hide where you have been hiding these last 15 years.

And yes, they’re wrong about that. He is a private citizen with a radio show. But they’re going to keep being wrong about that and messages like these are going to do damage.

For those of you who’ve never listened to Rush, here’s the problem in a nutshell: he’s probably the last public figure in America (well, maybe Charles, if he considers himself a public figure) who will allow the MSM to shut him up.

The more outcry there is about the “fail” meme, the more he will repeat it. He doesn’t consider himself to be the Republican party, and I’m sure that every time the MSM complains about him, he gets a few more listeners.

Again, we’re letting the left control the dialogue. They can want Bush to fail all day long, call him a miserable failure, want the war in Iraq to fail, etc. But we’re being unpatriotic if we say that. I say F*** them. Instead of attributing all this importance to what they say about the right (as their readership and viewerships decline), we need to spend our energy on finding conservative leaders with a real message.
