Limbaugh: "Thank you President Obama. Thank you CNN. You are doing the job that everybody expects of you, taking every tradition and institution that defined this country's greatness and trying to rip it to shreds"

      How?  Explain...

      No matter how many times conservatives cling to statements like that, they can NEVER prove it.  That is a huge cluster of words to just be slinging out there like more than crap to a wall.  Give me some proof of this.  Better yet, give me an example of these so-called traditions and institutions.

      What the heck is Limbaugh talking about here? The power of Obama is SO great that he's undone the entire country already?

      Limbaugh must be on the meds again.

      No, it is we who should thank you for being the voice of the Republican party.

      Thanks.

      Which "traditions" and "institutions" are those Drugbaugh?  Slavery? Racism? Misogyny? Suffrage? Child Labor? Witch Trials? Public Stocks and Floggings?  Scarlet Letters?

      Hey Limpy... have another cheeseburger. Or two. Please. You and the country could use it. Or them. Make sure they're loaded up with mayo. Lots of mayo. And certainly do not be shy about getting seconds. Or thirds.

      His demise couldn't come any sooner. When it happens... good F'in riddance.

      I think this pill-popping bastid is underestimating even his own core audience.

      The public right now is at a somewhat high level of knowledge and information about the workings of the U.S. Government, mostly thanks to the Internet Wire I think. And so to sling such broad vague undefined and laughable accusations, well it doesn't play in the cities today, and hardly plays in the sticks either (because they're information-wired in the sticks almost as well as city folk are).

      You know when Soldiers in and around a firefight, get so confused at what's happening and what to do next, they can always resort to just firing their weapon, aimlessly, at wherever they think the enemy might be, rather than just sitting there all quit and consumed with fear, and let someone maybe sneak up on you. "Panic Fire" is what it's sometimes called...

      I think the Republican Party right now is completely confused as to what to do next: they haven't the slightest idea what to build a Public Policy platform on (except the old standby of less or no taxes): they have not sown any substantial Public Policy seeds, and so therefore they have nothing to harvest right now, except barren rhetoric.

      "Democrats are destroying America! They are tearing at the very fabric of our Nation! They are driving the species of Populii Americanus to extinction!" 

      That's what panic fire sounds like... if you had any clue at all what target to fire at, then you'd fire at it: but to just blast away out of fear, is to do nothing but give away your position...

      Republicans are being exposed for having no platform and no Public Policy ideas, by the panic fire of rush limbaugh et al.

      Funny, that's what most thinking people have realized that this is exactly what Bush, Cheney & co. have been doing to REAL american values (privacy, liberty, habeas, limits on exec power, independant judiciary) for the last 8 years.

      Sorry Rush...Bush has already done that.  What I hope gets ripped to shreds is the seditious agenda you push everyday.
