Poll shows Limbaugh less popular than Ayers, Rev. Wright

February 04, 2009 1:52 pm ET by Karl Frisch

Over at The Daily Beast, Max Blumenthal looks at Rush "number one voice of conservatism" Limbaugh, whom, you’ll recall, was named an honorary member of Congress by House Republicans back in 1994 when they took control of both the House and Senate.

Blumenthal notes that, "Rush polls seven points lower than Rev. Jeremiah 'God Damn America' Wright and eight points below former Weather Underground domestic terrorist William Ayers."

His entire piece is well worth the read.

      An October 24, 2008, poll conducted by the Democratic research firm Greenberg-Quinlan-Rosner

      That's all we need to know...

      Of course it's just like MMfA...preaching to the choir.

      "Research" Firm

      I especially like the "we think DEEPER than the rest!"...

      We're good enough...smart enough...and gosh darn it...we think deeper!

      How ironic! Rush Limbaugh's dogma was just run over by his own karma. The Republicans created the current recession, soon to be depression, by spending without generating "revenue enhancement".  It is the chicken-hawk neo-cons that destroyed the economy. "Tax and spend" is what they label the Democrats. The Republicans just spend, and leave their children with the bills. It is no wonder that they are opposed to birth control. They also based their dogma upon deregulation. Just look how that agenda has killed Wall Street investors, banks, insurance companies, etc. There was very little Republican opposition to Bush's call for the Trillion Dollar bailout, based upon a 2 1/2 page request, a few weeks ago. Now the Republican's are blaming the depression upon Barney Frank, the head of the Senate Banking Committee for the last two years. They do not assign any responsibility to President Bush, the Secretary of the Treasury, the head of the Federal Reserve, the head of the Security Exchange Commission, the Secretary of Housing, etc. All were Republicans appointed by Bush. Rush Limbaugh cannot accept the reality that the Obama election was based upon the rejection of the Bush/Cheney/Limbaugh/Coulter dogma
