The Stakeholder
Stand Strong Against Rush Limbaugh
WATCH THE OUTRAGEOUS VIDEO AND SIGN THE PETITION >>
DCCC Executive Director Brian Wolff sent the following message to DCCC supporters:
Dear Friend,
Last week, Rush Limbaugh gave us
a preview of the outrageous Republican attacks that are on the way against
President Obama and every Democrat working for change. Rush actually
said that he 'hopes' President Obama fails to meet America's
challenges.
Listen to Rush in his own words, saying "I hope
he fails."
Limbaugh's cheap shot at President Obama might
be the first by the Republican attack machine this year but we know that it
won't be the last.
We need every grassroots Democrat to show Rush
Limbaugh and all of the Republicans what they're up against if they start
attacking President Obama and Democrats who are working to end the failed GOP
policies of the last eight years.
Tell Rush what
you think of his attacks on President Obama. We'll send him your
comments.
Jobs, health care, our place in the world - the
stakes for our nation are high and every American needs President Obama to
succeed. Creating real change requires every American stand strong against Rush
Limbaugh's attacks - and all of the other partisan attacks from desperate
Republicans that are on the way.
Let's start right here and now.
Brian Wolff
Executive Director, DCCC
Didn’t the libs/dems want Bush to fail? I’m not saying they’re hypocrites, but they’re hypocrites.
What gets me is, Rush is a private citizen. He can’t tax you, arrest you, indite you, or pass any laws to to restrict you freedoms. He can’t run up a huge public debt or fail or children with a miserable education system. But the Dems and theirs followers seem to think he is the problem.
Thank God for Rush!
Hmmm cut and run foreign policy? Turning the country over to socialism? Massive government spending laden with pork that won’t have an immediate positive impact on the country and will bury our grandchildren in debt? Government expansion? This is who he said he was so absolutely, I hope he fails.
Way to go Rush! Someone needs to hold these people accountable. And I’m glad to have a true patriot like Rush Limbaugh leading the way. Keep up the great work Rush!
A sitting president should NEVER publicly “call out” a private citizen practicing their free speech rights.
PERIOD. You liberals burn effigies of past president(s) & disgrace America by embracing the rights of terrorists over fellow citizens. Grow your own NUTS and think for yourself. Where is your beloved ACLU to protect Rush’s civil rights? Hypocrites.
Why do conservatives listen to talk radio? Most employees and the self-employed don’t watch television at work.
Did I say work?
I support Rush Limbaugh. If the beliefs of the Democratic party are so desirable, why are they so easily shaken? how come Detroit MI has had nothing but democratic mayors yet the city has only gotten WORSE? how come the public schools in our country are controlled by the most powerful democratic union yet the schools are so inept? where does democratic policy work? nowhere!
Rush is completely right. Stop lying about what he said. Plus you have better things to do like loading up the stimulus bill with pork.
I pray that the Pope of Hope fails miserably. When he does, America will still be a free Republic. The Ølibiots that drool and slobber all over this guy don’t have a clue when it comes to the future of this country. Rush is 100% correct. It’s just a shame that the loons that treat the Ø as the second coming of Christ don’t have enough intelligence to think for themselves or even educate themselves. Pitiful.
I do support OUR president, but his policies are NOT going to help America.
President Obama has said that “Only Government can provide the short term boose to get us out of a recession”.
If that’s the case, can somebody, ANYBODY, please provide us with ONE example where the government SPENT us out of a recession?? That’s the challenge. In reality, it has NEVER worked before…NEVER, NEVER, NEVER.
If somebody is using your credit card (i.e. Congress) and they want to run it WAY over the maximum spending limit, I’m sorry, but I’m going to have to say No!!!
One final question/thought….
President Bush and Congress raised government spending more than any other president…..How do you think it worked for President Bush? By the way, saying that President Obama “will spend it better” is not a valid reason.
I do hope this stimulus package fails because it’s only going to put America into a deeper hole than the average American realizes.
Stop lying about the pork bill, Dems! Keep preaching the truth, Rush!!
If Barry gets his way, America will fail. Don’t bankrupt our kids’ futures!
Stop bullying Rush, you anti-free speech hypocrites!
From your about section:
The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) is the official campaign arm of the Democrats in the House. The DCCC is the only political committee in the country whose principal mission is to support Democratic House candidates every step of the way.
Supporting the DCCC is the single most effective step you can take to continue leading our country in a new direction. By securing and strengthening our Democratic majority in 2010 through protecting our Democratic members and electing new Democrats to Congress we can keep moving America forward.
And your call to “help stop Rush” accomplishes this how??
Where were all the Democrats jumping on the Bush bandwagon wanting Bush to succeed and getting upset whenever a fellow Democrat criticized Bush?
Or is what’s good for the goose is not now good for the gander?
Just more hypocrisy from the left.
Attacking a private citizen for speaking his mind? I was disturbed when the Obama campaign attacked “the plumber” (another private citizen speaking his mind) and had hoped it was an isolated campaign mistake. Now it looks like personal distruction is the policy of this administration. Where was the DCCC when congressional democrats were actively hoping and trying to get us to loose in Iraq. I don’t care for Rush, but for the president to attack him is over the line. This is not the “change” this independant voter voted for.
Keep up the good work! Nothing is more important than wasting time and energy on going after people for exercising their first amendment rights. When did dissent become so evil? January 20th 2009? That’s a bit disturbing. I sure hope my email and personal info doesn’t end up on some DCCC enemies list.
All this petition does is validate Rush’s complaints that Obama and his minion are engaging in suppression of political dissent. At the same time it trivializes the Democrat Party. Apparently the DCCC fears Rush. Wow. Give it up for Rush, apparently more powerful than the entire Democrat Party. If Obama makes Rush the enemy, he will lose. Obama even mentioning Rush is a rookie mistake. You’ll recall that Clinton did the same thing and it blew up in his face. Trust me, more people will listen to Rush today than yesterday because of this.
This is obviously a precursor to the “Fairness Doctrine”. I suspect they are floating a balloon here to check the political support behind the “Fairness Doctrine”. I hope congress goes for it. If they it becomes law, I suspect a resurgence of the Republican Party and a serious diminishment of Obama’s political capital. It would be a huge mistake, so by all means, go for it!
The DCCC is making themselves look even worse. And Rush will make a fool of you.
You really think any conservative wants bigger government, nationalized health care, more abortions, and a less free economy?
Of course a true conservative wants Obama to fail. You are manipulating what Rush is saying. In context, he says, I hope he fails in bringing about these dangerous, liberal policies! I want Obama’s policies to fail too! Millions of us do. Remember that 46% of the nation voted AGAINST his policies. I’m sure most don’t agree with his policies, and feel they will damage the nation. Wouldn’t they want those policies to fail too?
In the end, all you will do is create more support and new listeners for Rush. So, I must say, continue ON with the petition. I signed it last night, with a heartwarming message for Rush!
I think the comments of Mr. Limbaugh are taken out of context here, what he means is that the policies made by this President are a threat to the American people’s civil Liberties and prosperity. One needs to listen to this program frequently to understand the entirety of these comments. Mr. Limbaugh has championed the rights of Americans against government censorship, and feels the policies set forth are unjust to the American people, these are YOUR freedoms that are guaranteed by “God”, therefore can NEVER be taken away unlike State freedoms which can be easily by outlawed. We as Americans have the Right to freedom of speech protected against government censorship, this includes all citizens of this great land. No one is censoring the liberal perspective and I while I respect differing views, I and other Americans deserve the same respect. Fairness is subjective. but justice is not, and this campaign against a private citizen although radio stations are under government licenses is unjust. These freedoms are granted to ALL Americans, and infringement onto them by the government is unconstitutional. Forget about party lines and respect the Constitution, We the People of this great Nation are granted the Freedom to Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness, and the government is NEVER allowed to infringe upon OUR rights.
Hey Dems, way to edit the clip to fit your needs.
Ever hear of FREEDOM OF SPEECH? Guess only when you agree with it. Too funny.
How dare one speak against our new Community-Organizer-In-Chief
It is interesting that what I read here is nothing but how much you people hate Rush. I was under impression that truth matters to smart people. If any of you, tools, had taken the time to research what was said, you would know that the whole Rushes monolog was about failing Obama’s policies to change United States of America in to a socialist country. Do you really want to be like France and other socialist countries that people have NO chance to grow to anything more than government official? I don’t. Get your information from sources that do not want to manipulate you. You all look and sound like sheep. I am sorry for you.
Stop lying about the stimulus bill and stop distorting Rush’s remarks.
This is a policy dispute not anything else. This is between Rush and what is a Socialist movement on the liberal left.
I disagree with the President’s policy and politics. Rush speaks to the issues I believe in, and while I hope the President succeeds in protecting us (the appropriate function of the federal gov.), I hope he fails to enact his policy prescriptions. This is my Democrat Party right, after all, isn’t dissent patriotic? Or is that only when a Republican is in the White House?
1. Freedom of Choice Act
2. His views of redistribution of wealth (e.g. socialism) and the U.S. Constitution. If only 45% of Americans pay income taxes, how can we give tax cuts to 95% of Americans? Isn’t that stealing?
3. His view that “we cannot continue to rely on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we’ve set. We’ve got to have a civilian national security force that’s just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded.”
4. His $845 billion Global Poverty Act.
5. His plans to disarm this country.
6. His appointments of woefully unprepared and, in some cases, dishonest people to key positions of his administrations (i.e. CIA, Sec. of State, Sec. of Treasury, etc.).
7. His ideas for a $1.2 trillion “stimulus” package. (When will those in D.C. learn that Keynesian economics never works?)
8. His pushing for gays serving openly in the military. (Besides the obvious issues, whenever I have a gay Soldier who shows up late to work, before I punish him, I have to prepare myself for the charge that I’m discriminating against him.)
9. Biden’s call for support: “And he’s gonna need help [when a crisis hits]. And the kind of help he’s gonna need is, he’s gonna need you - not financially to help him - we’re gonna need you to use your influence, your influence within the community, to stand with him. Because it’s not gonna be apparent initially, it’s not gonna be apparent that we’re right.” (So, in other words, “don’t think too hard about whether he’s right or wrong. Just support our guy Obama.” I’ll pass.)
So, why do I hope Obama fails? Maybe it has something to do with what’s best for the country.
“The money power preys upon the nation in times of peace and conspires against it in times of adversity. It is more despotic than monarchy, more insolent than autocracy, more selfish than bureaucracy. I see in the near future a crisis approaching that unnerves me and causes me to tremble for the safety of my country. Corporations have been enthroned, an era of corruption in high places will follow, and the money power of the country will endeavor to prolong its REIGN by working upon the prejudices of the people until the wealth is aggregated in a few hands and the Republic is destroyed.”
Good job Democrats. You have done more to draw attention to conservative talk radio than you know. You have helped us gain new listeners, many may turn away but some will stay tuned. Hooray for Neal Boortz, Sean Hannity and the rest of you in conservative radio!
No matter if you voted for President Obama or whether you like him or not, you should not wish for him to fail, because if he fails the whole entire country fails and pays the price. Rush Limbaugh and people like him are morons.
Love ya, Rush. Keep handing them their asses.
What babies…if you don’t want socialist/marxist policies to fail in this country then you are not American.
Hey liberal socialist communist thugs why don’t you read the full context you idiots instead of reading what you want you should be scared that the government is targeting a single private citizen. let me tell you you clowns remember Jimmy Carter well that’s what is going to happen to you in four years gone gone gone.
GO OBAMA - IT’S OSAMA HERE AND WE WANT YOU TO SUCCEED!!!
I not only hope Obama fails, I hope Rezko Blago & ACORN sing and that Obama ends up in a Federal Prison.
How’s that?
Will the FBI now come knocking at my door?
Go Get’em Rush! These Democrat liberal idiots can be counted on to do the WRONG thing EVERY time!
No, Shannon,
If Obama fails, America WINS!
Kill the Porkfest!
...I actually hope it passes with no Republican support. This thing will do nothing for the economy. The Dems will own it after this…
America’s Anchor Rush Limbaugh - You’re doing Great Good
reporting the truth about this new adminstrations socialist plans!!
Thank you so very much for keeping our eyes on the target.
I’m outraged!!! I’m outraged that morons on the left continue to lie about and distort the words of anyone who doesn’t agree with them. Go Rush! You guys have to remember that there are millions of people who actually listen to what he says and we know the context of his words… We will not be silent and let you misrepresent the truth! Go Rush and go America! Down with Socialism and down with a President and a Party that push it!
I thought dissent was the highest for of patriotism?
If your programs are good they will stand up under fire.
Then again I thought not paying your taxes until being caught disqualified you for treasury secretary as well.
At least a few on your side such as Bird and Sanders and Harkin stood tall on that one. Quite a few on our side laid down on it.
Mr. Limbaugh, I respect the Bills of Rights. That is why unlike you I do not support the Patriot Act, which should be called “the Scared American NEOCON act”! What you say is not free speech, it is equal to suggesting the dismemberment of the USA. IF OBAMA FAILS WE ALL FAIL YOU DOLTS! INCLUDING YOU! YES IT IS THAT BAD! It is a good thing RESPECTED, HONORABLE, and Pain Pill addiction free, PRESIDENT OBAMA has closed Gitmo, I think you could be arrested under the rules of the Bush Doctrine defining a terrorist for what you have said.
It is clear that you have always only had the interests of your own GOP party as a concern. You are a traitor and propaganda merchant, nothing more. I sincerely believe if you thought you had the opportunity you would start a civil war to support your own selfish millionaire ideals. HOW DARE YOU come a across as a friend to the working man. You are a pathetic sad wind bag stuffed in a thousand dollar suit looking for a Lear jet and a golf cart.
As for your DISCREDITED AND RIDICULOUS RADIO PROGRAM! YOU NEVER TAKE CALLS FROM COMPETENT PEOPLE, ONLY YOUR SAD BRAINWASHED disciples that are trying to come to terms with WELL DESERVED LANDSLIDE LOSE IN THE RECENT ELECTIONS!!! YES SIR! ELECTIONS! OF WHICH YOU clearly HAVE LITTLE RESPECT FOR.
The policy decisions of the the BUSH ADMINISTRATION which you supported with out fail nearly 100% of the time got here into this unprecedented Nation Crisis! AND STILL YOU PERSIST WITH YOUR PAIN PILLS BRAIN DAMAGED NONSENSE! Sorry you sad little clown, we are on to you now. You are a traitor and this time you will be disgraced. AMERICANS DO NOT TRAITORS or RADICALS. You are both sir. You are both!
PS I challenge you to a debate. I am a private citizen and I will make an ass of you!
Rush speaks the truth. The stimulus bill is nothing but an political ploy aimed at strengthening Democrat power. Future generation will pay a high price. I hope it is an EPIC FAILURE! There, I said it.
Seriously, this is a silly idea. You are just giving Limbaugh more attention, exposure and ammunition.
What is it that you wish to accomplish with this?
And you guy’s didn’t want Bush to fail? Yes, Rush wants Obama’s policies to fail, he, as a lot of people, don’t want the u.s. to become a socialist country. Do any of you think, that after Obama silences Rush, he will not eventually do the same to you, should you question him? The Republicans don’t care about the people either, but Obama wants to be King. Why is Obama so afraid of
Rush? Because Obama knows Rush has the largest audience, and Rush informs too many people of the dems plans. He fears Rush.
I love Rush…he is our only hope to get information that we wouldn’t get listening to the liberal media!
I think the reason you are so afraid of him is because you can’t handle the truth!!!!
The reason Rush said he wants Obama to fail is because Rush thinks that Obama’s policies are bad for America. What’s good for Obama is not good for America, so in that respect, I applaud Rush for his honesty and bravery. I hope Obama fails too.

There’s your truth
You guys are so stupid - this is just what Limbaugh wants - to have lots of attention paid to him so he can sell more advertisements on his show. The best way to get rid of him is to ignore him.
I LOVE THE USA NOW THAT THE DEVIL IS OUT OF OFFICE! I’LL SHOW YOU HOW TO SHUT DOWN YOUR OPPOSITION, IT WORKED LIKE A CHARM FOR ME.
I’M ALSO WORKING ON EXTENDING TERM LIMITS SO I CAN BE PRESIDENT FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE.
I’LL SHOW YA THAT LIL’ TRICK TOO!!
KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK BARRY!
What is wrong with the Democratic Party of today? They are socialists on the way to fascism. The use fascist scare tactics and suppression to quiet those they fear and hate. The silence from people who understand true liberty must not persist. You Democrats are communists.
HAHA. This is hilarious! LOL. This petition says “Stand Strong Against Rush Limbaugh” and 99% of the comments are PRO-LIMBAUGH!
The way this is going, I can guarantee you that Obama will deinitely NOT be re-elected in 2012. Keep it up Obama! You and your administration are self-imploding! Liberal wussies! Republicans will NOT back down to your liberal socialistic policies.
If you really want to silence Rush - quit talking about him- Remember the Dems in the 90’s tried, and thought that since we got Clinton, that the nation would go with us against him - but it backfired. Limbaugh got bigger, more listeners, more money, and we lost the congress. Believe me, if they pay attention to Limbaugh, they will hear some things that we don’t want them to hear.
Remember the 90’s? Seriously!
I thought we were pro-freedom of speech, against censorship- but this is just petty partisan stuff, and the folks in the middle - the 20 percent that decide elections - are not swayed by things like this.
Don’t think just because we got the white house and senate back that its a mandate - tread wisely - focus on what matters - or it will all be gone like it was with Clinton…
RUSH! LIVE LONG AND PROSPER! YOU’LL BE STANDING WHEN ALL THESE LEFTISTS DOUCHEBAGS ARE REMOVED FROM OFFICE FOR DERILICTION OF DUTY AND ABUSE OF POWER!
GOD BLESS AMERICA!
I love it! Being out of power for 4 years is going to be fun.
What goes around, comes around. Obama should just relax and enjoy the “Bush” treatment for a few years…
Post-partisan my ass…
You moonbats need to focus more on fixing problems and less on attacking a private citizen who dares to challenge your idiotic polices. Just because you’re now in charge doesn’t mean freedom of speech ceases to exist. Try, for a change, putting America first.
