      My favorite part of that is the page where it details using fear to wrangle in the poor donors, and "bribing" the rich donors with fancy dinners and outings...

      I don't know...it just seemed so...Republican.

      He is a Joker.


      I wish that Rush would just come out and say what he wants to say, that Obama is the "King of Spades."

      By the way, does anyone else notice a disquieting similarity between Limbaugh and the Queen of Hearts from the original Alice in Wonderland?

      "It's natural to be afraid of Obama." Natural for white racist Americans perhaps.

      That is the GOP's entire demographic. They will continue preaching to the choir and masturbate themselves to death in the next 2 years.

      Isn't it ironic that this racist idiot would find a way to justify hate mongers who mock their own donors.
      Rush will support anything, including murder, if it would lead Republicans, or white people, back to the presidency.

        I'm surprised limpboy took this tack to defend the Retropublicons. I would have figured he would have laid out a narrative of the GOP purposely leaking this literature to tweak the media.

            The teabaggers are just another version of the bible thumpers. The Republican politicians just throw them a little red mead via a rally speech or teevee appearance, and these misguided souls get all fired up and continue to vote for them.

            Then, when it comes time to actually DO something they preach about, nothing happens. (Abortion anyone?)

            The teabaggers and jesus freaks are being played for chumps. And they don't even know it.

          In fact, how is Beck not a part of "the plan"? He uses fear and nationalism...oh, and religion, to gather his flock. He then says it's not a good idea to start a third party...instead suggests that they should buddy up with the Republicans (that's where most of them were anyway). Here's a conspiracy:

            Fear? Technically speaking doesn't everybody do that? Why did Harry Reid mention domestic abuse concerning unemployed men? How about the fear mongering about what would happen if we didn't pass the stimulus? Or the fear mongering if you don't pass cap and trade? I could go on and on.

              That was truth, not fearmongering. There is a difference between truth and fearmongering. 'Course, you support your duplicate's use of fearmongering and dishonesty.

              That's why you get the thumbs down.

              Right, Right...because stating facts on unemployment is on the same level with wild conspiracy theories, the collapse of western civilization and pant wetting about "economic Holocaust".

              I predict Beck's show today is going to be a real doozy. I hope you enough pairs of pants to make it all the way through.

      Hardly surprising to me that this man thinks fear is a natural state. Fear of being discovered pill popping, fear of being outed to his homophobic buddies, fear of change, fear of weight loss, fear of people with different skin color, fear fear fear.

      Rush, the only thing we have to fear is fear itself. Your life seems tailor-made to prove FDR's point. See, fear leads to irrational thoughts and actions, which are more dangerous than the boogeyman under your bed. I don't expect you to understand this, of course, but if just one person reads it and realizes what a crazy jack-in-the-box they've been listening to and BELIEVING, it will all be worth it to me.

        Not to mention being an ardent supporter of an administration that spent eight years GOVERNING on fear -- kinda hard to get used to anything else . . .

      I'm a bit of a Batman buff, so I'f got a few problems with this.

      1) No one knows WHO the Joker really is. Even he doens't remember his name.

      2) The Joker is white.

      3) The Joker is FICTIONAL.

      Other than that? Good detective work, boy-wonder.

      Coming on the heels of Bunning's little stunt last week, the discovery of this document couldn't have come at a better time. If there's one thing that the election of Obama has done, it has served to show how vile some of the conservatives are. The thing that's puzzling to me is that no one in the Republican Party has called the party's leaders to say, "ENOUGH!" I think this has not been done because the person who does stand up to them will become a pariah, and we've seen how that goes. I thought the republicans were going to roast Senator Graham on a spit over an open fire when he stated that we must address climate change. Same thing with Brown when he voted with the democrats to prevent a filibuster a couple weeks ago.
