Earl Ofari Hutchinson: Wave the White Flag in the Limbaugh War

Quote:
President Obama and the Democrats should wave the white flag in their strawman war on Rush Limbaugh. The Media Research Center delivered the grim casualty figures for the Democrats. Since January, the top talk show gabber's ratings have soared off the charts. Radio affiliates that carry Limbaugh's syndicated show call the ratings boost he's gotten from the Democrat's orchestrated attack on him a "dramatic surge."
Quote:
This should have been the red flag warning to the Democrats to drop Limbaugh from their enemies rolodex. But no, they continued to blunder on. They took out ads, radio spots, and email blasts bashing and trashing bogeyman Limbaugh. The idea was to make sure that when the public thought GOP, they thought Limbaugh.
Will they never learn?

Case in point:

Rush, shut the hell up. You’re not helping. « Margaret and Helen

Found a new left-wing blog, MF?

I notice all your "backup" is from this site.

They have no idea and/or evidence to back up their claims - but I see they have some nice spin.

HuffPo and their bloggers at least have a semblance of credibility - not much, but more than your madge&Helen site.

I'm sure the majority of the left would like to dismiss the correlation between the WH attacks and the surge in Rush's ratings - unfortunately, it just doesn't hold water and really flies in the face of reason and the evidence.

Try again.

So what if his ratings go up???

The GOP's standing with the public goes down when Limbaugh is paraded as their 'savior'...

I'd just as soon lose a small battle and win the war!!!

A point to which she remains willfully blind. The more Limbaugh is in the news, the more it piques people's curiosity, and the more they tune in. When they hear what comes out of his program, they tend to be horrified, and become even more alienated--if they weren't already--from the right wing political viewpoint. The left and the Democratic party couldn't have a better spokesman for Republican insanity if they searched the world over.

What truth? Some wacko liberals opinion.

You of all people should know the difference between facts with evidence and an opinion. But...maybe not.

Maybe you did site them months ago - but you seem to be relying on them almost exclusively in your posts.

But you have nothing, absolutely nothing to back up this statement. In fact, the ratings (evidence) directly contradicts your drivel, as well as helen and margarets drivel.
