New Rush Derangement Syndrome project: A DNC-funded billboard

By Michelle Malkin  •  March 5, 2009 10:25 AM

Just arrived in my emailbox from the DNC: Solicitations for a new anti-Rush Limbaugh billboard the Democrat Party plans to put up in Palm Beach, Florida. Do Democrat donors really think this is the best use of their money?

Knock yourselves out:

I’m Jen O’Malley Dillon, the new Executive Director of the Democratic National Committee.

If you’re anything like me, then you’ve had the urge to talk back to a right-wing talk radio host more than a few times. Now you can.

Rush Limbaugh has made waves lately about his desire to see President Obama fail. And he’s unapologetic, even though Americans voted in November for the very kind of change the President is bringing to Washington. As even Limbaugh must know, if the President fails, America fails.

Incredibly, Republican leaders have yet to condemn Limbaugh for his destructive comments. In fact, Republicans like Congressman Eric Cantor, a leader in the House, have adopted the Limbaugh strategy, telling the Washington Post recently that their strategy on the President’s jobs plan was “just saying no.”

The only Republican leader to challenge Limbaugh — the chairman of the Republican National Committee — even called Rush to apologize just a few days later.

But we have no apologies for Rush, just a message. We need you to come up with a slogan, in ten words or less, that we’ll put on a billboard where he can’t miss it — in his hometown of West Palm Beach, Florida.

Can you help us come up with a message for Rush that we’ll place on a billboard right in his hometown?

We’ll go through all the slogans we get, and the winner will have his or her message appear on the billboard — and receive a free T-shirt featuring the winning slogan.

If Republican leaders aren’t willing to tell Rush, then we will. Americans want President Obama to succeed. Our country’s future depends on it. Rooting for the President’s failure is rooting for our country to fail.

To get America back on a path to prosperity, we’ll need to leave behind the failed partisan attack politics of the past. Americans voted for a new direction in November. Choosing Rush Limbaugh to be the voice of their party — as Republican leaders have done — is not the answer.

Send in your suggestion of ten words or less for a billboard and we’ll choose the best one to put in Rush’s own “backyard”:

Thanks,
Jen

    how about an anti-bailout theme song …
    (with apologies to Johnny Paycheck) …

    “Take this TARP and shove it,
    Ain’t wanted here no more”

    I think they would prefer we sing “Don’t Worry, be Happy” by Bobby McFerrin. In which he’s saying just keep smiling and be happy and ignore all the bad stuff happening.

    But, that song just makes me want to BREAK things!

    Now that the shoe is on the other foot, it’s time to stop partisan attacks? They invented them. I guess they would like the attacks to stop now that they’ve “won”.

    I love how the Dems take Rush’s “I hope Obama fails” statement out of context and repeatedly lob it over the wall like grenades. Too bad they’re not exploding for them.

    Rush the leader of the Republican Party? I don’t think so. He’s speaking for conservatives, who may or may not be Republican. There is a diffence.

    Just your Chicago thug politics at work. The better the message, the more urgent it is to shoot the messenger. Chicago didn’t get corrupt by having good ideas, rather it got that way by shutting up the opposition. I wish them lots of luck shutting down Rush. Rush stands for a set of core beliefs while Chicago thugs have none. This is another popcorn moment. Get ready for the entertainment!

    As mentioned by several Rush is a private citizen. Even if he is a public figger , he is not Lected. I don’t ever remember a presidents staff targeting a civilian, so to speak. Ever.
    Just think about the terminal heart failure that would be going on if what Rush say’s had been presented by an elected Representative.
    Something I could pray for.
    Uh Can these liberal dolts do anything without mining for data and hold their tin cups out for your change.

    i must say, the hypocrisy of the left knows no bounds. leave behind the failed partisan attacks of the past. do you mean like carville, begalla, and emanuelle, plotting this bullcrap attack. rush didn’t say he wants obama to fail. he said he wants obama’s communist agenda to fail. but of course the politics of personal destruction that claimed the vast right wing conspiracy when bill and his buttboys carville and begalla, got caught with his lil friend in the wrong place. trailer trash, yeah. that’s not personal attacks.

    Sorry, but the Republicans – especially the leadership – didn’t anoint Rush as the spokeperson for the Republican party, it was the Democrats, starting with Obama himself. The Republican leadership has been at odds with Limbaugh for some time because he keeps bashing them for assuming the bend-over-and-grab-their-ankles position whenever the Dems mention bipartisanship.

    He was referring to a previous petition campaign that was taken down and suggested that people go to this billboard one to submit their own suggestions.

    I have to be careful because I listen to Rush while doing other things and sometimes I miss some of his points. He is on for 3 hours, and as much as I would love to devote 3 hours a day to him, I have a life! I do manage to get in quite a bit, however. My poor husband…when I am in the other room, I turn the volume up reeeally LOUD! Rush Limbaugh is a national treasure to be cared for and protected.

    Don’t touch Rush!!!

    Get over yourselves, Dems!!!

    Dems supported failure in Iraq and now they support success for socialism.

    Our country’s dying, Dems. Do you care?

    Dems have time to invent nonsensical slogans to post in Rush’s “backyard” but they seem to not want to explain how any of their bailouts, economic/foreign policies will succeed. Oh, and dissent is no longer “patriotic” in their eyes. Gee, good use of time there, DNC. :roll:

    He lives off of negative attention for his “you people” ramblings.

    You don’t have to campaign for another two years, but you do have to DO SOMETHING in the next two years or you are so burnt toast.

    I’ve read all #142 comments–as a former registered Democrat (1964-2008) the comments a logical, accurate, and respond to the assumption–>assertion–>proof of Jen’s statement. What I don’t see in the realization that the attack on Rush is to rally the Dem base to the DNC and a whole new file of email addresses. We are dealing with teen-age children with the attention span as long as the life cycle of a fruit fly. As teen-age children, their knowledge extends only to what they and their buds have experienced and know to be true; and it has to feel good. It is a pity the billboard doesn’t have sound–my entry would be a valley girl’s voice saying “whatever!”
