The Radio Equalizer: Brian Maloney: New Anti-Limbaugh Radio Attack Ad To Air Beginning Tomorrow

New Anti-Limbaugh Radio Attack Ad To Air Beginning Tomorrow

STEPPING IT UP

Dems Plan New Anti-Limbaugh Attack Ads

*** NEW: In New England, Conservative Talk Ratings Surge ***

*** UPDATED WITH EXCLUSIVE LIMBAUGH REACTION CLIP FROM MARK LEVIN SHOW ***

Apparently furious with the success of a newly-reunited conservative-GOP coalition against the reckless spending of hundreds of billions in taxpayer funds, a group of Obamists headed by MoveOn.org are planning an anti-Rush Limbaugh attack radio ad campaign.

Set to begin tomorrow on stations nationwide, the ads are designed to put pressure on GOP moderates in the US Senate who might be inclined to follow the lead of their House counterparts.

In yesterday's vote on the phony, pork-laden "stimulus" bill, Republicans (joined by a handful of Democrats) unanimously rejected the Obamist plan.

Here's the script of their radio attack ad:

ANNOUNCER: Listen to what Rush Limbaugh said about President Obama’s agenda and his jobs package:

RUSH LIMBAUGH: I HOPE HE FAILS!

ANNOUNCER: The Obama jobs bill overwhelmingly passed the House. But not one Republican voted yes. Every Republican member of the House chose to take Rush Limbaugh’s advice. Every Republican voted with Limbaugh. And against creating four million new American jobs.

We can understand why a extreme partisan like Rush Limbaugh wants President Obama’s jobs program to fail.

But the members of Congress elected to represent the citizens in their districts? That’s another matter.

Now the Obama plan goes to the Senate. And the question is:

Will our Senator, (insert name here), side with Rush Limbaugh too?

LIMBAUGH: I HOPE HE FAILS!

ANNOUNCER: Or, will he reject the partisanship and failed economic policies of the past, and stand up for the people of (state).

Call Senator (insert name here) now at (202) 224-3121. Tell him he represents you, not Rush Limbaugh.

UPDATE: Rush appeared on the Mark Levin Show late Thursday evening to provide a reaction to the smear campaign. This clip was created by your Radio Equalizer:

So, will it work? While there certainly are several squishy Republican moderates out there, yesterday's unified House vote could have Senators thinking twice about Obama's sure-to-fail pork-fest.

So far, there are signs of resistance from Senate Republicans, however.

You guys are kidding, right? Do you really think you can win this? YOu will only succeed in making Rush more powerful, not less. Honestly people, this is such a stupid idea. So please go ahead with it!l

So if you happen to see this RINO US Senators take heed, your butts are on the line and we won't miss you when your gone and don’t let the gate smack yer butts while exiting. RINO’s get out of the middle of the road, your chances of being a victim of political road-rage are doubled out there.

It’s time to decide whose side are you on. Are you with the megalomaniacal anti-American DemocRatz or will you stand with hard working, taxpaying American’s and block President Obama’s costly spending boondoggle?
The clock is ticking and we’re watching and praying you’ll do what’s right for our USA.

First Congress takes and gives my money to the banks that are charging usurious interest rates to me, illegal aliens, and more wasting MY money, then they put up these ads on my TV and waste my time and brain power. Why don't these Democratic lapdogs know they are out of touch with us, haven't got a clue, and forgot about the flyover people who don't share their view or their president. We have free Speech, so leave Conservative opiners alone!

I think it's interesting that Obama has attacked Rush and Hannity, but he hasn't mentioned Mark Levin. Arguably, Mark does just as good a job of dissecting President Obama and the Democrats as Hannity and Rush. Is President Obama leery of giving Mr. Levin the airtime? Or, does he actually not know who he is? In any case, President Obama has made a huge miscalculation. Rush has the "troops" and can withstand this onslaught. It'll only make him more powerful, not less.

Why do I get the feeling we're starting to resemble Venezuela with all the Obama thugs resorting to propaganda and intimidation tactics against anyone who disagrees with them? Rush at least uses facts and he states over and over that he's on the radio - anyone can change the channel if they want to. He doesn't use any kind of intimidation tactics against anyone. What exactly is Obama afraid of?

If you really want to talk about "failed economic policies of the past," then read the "stimulus" bill. THAT'S where you'll find them. They've resurrected every failed idea Since Woodrow Wilson and tossed in a few kooky Reid/Pelosi/Obama dreams. Moveon's add is childishly ridiculous.

You people need to get a life and realize that the Democrats are destroying our country with this bill. Read the bill and see what is in it. there is nothing that will stimulate the economy. Stop worshipping the person of Obama and open your eyes! Attacking Rush and other citizens who disagree with you, are we a communist country now!!

If I remember correctly, the wackjob left said much worse things about Bush than Rush said about little hussein. I remember the leftards burning Bush effigies AND American flags on a regular basis, calling our 43rd President every name under the sun.

But for some reason, "I hope socialism fails" is blasphemy.

“Rush fans pummel Democrat website”
“Petition rallying opposition to talk radio icon backfires”
“A petition by the Democratic National Congressional Committee critical of Rush Limbaugh is backfiring as supporters of the talk radio icon pummel the party
#website with their own views.

Hundreds of people have signed the petition, which is introduced with the request to "Stand strong against Rush Limbaugh's Attacks – sign our petition, telling Rush what you think of his attacks on President Obama."

But contributors to the comment section of the petition, with few exceptions, have endorsed Limbaugh and his expressed desire for the failure of Obama's policies.

"Why [are] the public servants of the people that were elected by the people attacking a private citizen? Who is next - me?" said one post. "This is all the more reason TO LISTEN to RUSH LIMBAUGH. I HOPE OBAMA'S POLICIES FAIL TOO."”

wake up and realize, you are all alone now, America has abandoned conservatism in DROVES. Reaganomicsis is a failure. F.D.R is alive, America supports F.D.R like policies.

The commercial is deeper than attacking Rush,the comercial is atacking the Republican party for taking extreme right wing ideology over what America wants. America doesnot want more TAX CUTS for the rich, if they did a Republican would be president right now....

You crack pots just do not GET IT, YOU LOST, your ideas FAILED and the majority voted against them. The comercial does not attack Rush, it is attacking he GOP for taking Rush over America, simple as that

please keep it up. Reagan polices will comletly be DEAD forever and so will the GOP.....

You just do not get it.... YOU LOST, your ideas are the FRINGE

Lets' just hpe that idiot Robert Reich does not screw this up by only hiring blacks for the jobs Obama is creating.
Reich's words are indeed worth looking into(as yes...Michael Savage pointed out, as a leftie I find Savage interesting), I only hope it was poor phrasing on his part, and not revese racism. If that's the case, I will denouce Obama.

America wants FDR policies, I hope Obama does not screw it up and is not he racist Hash claims he is.

I did not like Reich's comments about "white construction workers"
bothers me, however, I support F.D.R policies whih are proven WINNERS

Above is how delusional and moronic the left is, they really think that FDR's policies worked.

Wake up idiot FDR's policies drove us into deeper depression, the only thing that brought us out was WWII. The Obama policies will do the same except worse not only will he tank the economy even more, he will take away our freedom as he does it. Bow to your messiah commrade.

Reagans policies worked, in fact Bill Clinton reaped the benefit of those policies by the end of his presidency.

As for Rush and this dismal attempt to silence the oppostition it will not work, free speach is still a 1st amendment right for now.

Remember silencing the opposition is the first step taken by socialist dictators in the past and this is excactly what they are trying to do now.

By Carl, at 30 January, 2009 19:56
Rush Limbaugh continues to tell the TRUTH and the Dems/Libs/Communists/Socialists can't handle it becuase they are spineless.
Obama, and his minions, can't even say the word(s) ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS or MUSLIM EXTREMISTS/TERRORISTS.
They CRY about the possibility that a Muslim may get "wet" but they allow the MURDER of the most innocent in the US...the unborn child. YES I said it! They allow NO RESTRICTIONS on the MURDER/SLAUGHTER of MILLIONS of babies up through the 9th month. They allow so many LOOPHOLES that if the "mother" says being pregnant gives them a "headache" they can get "Dr. Death" in Kansas to ABORT the baby (again) through the 9th month.
Exceptions should be made but ONLY if numerous Doctors concur and not just one "bought and paid for" MURDER ON DEMAND ABORTIONIST.
Obama says it is "beyond his pay grade" when life "begins" yet he opts to KILL babies with NO penalty to those who KILL the baby.
Again, exceptions should be made and the KEY is exception!
Obama is a SPINELESS LIBERAL/COMMUNIST who sat and absorbed a RACIST for over 20 years (i.e. Wright). Obama sat and gave monies to ACORN. Obama hung out (worked, socialized, etc.) with TERROIST (i.e. Ayers) and Obama IS the POSTER CHILD for Chicago CORRUPT Politicians.
Barak Husien Obama is ONE LETTER away from "666" but he is MANY spinal vertabre away from being a MAN who stands up for the rights of the innocent AND American Citizens.
Yes, I would say it to his FACE as well.

Quit letting so many MUSLIM EXTREMISTS into our Country (HB-1 Visas) under the guise of "foreign workers".
Give ALL jobs, benefits, tax breaks, school education, health care, College Admissions, etc. ONLY to American Citizens NOW..and ALWAYS.
IF the Democrats/Liberals/Communists want to "help" ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS then donate directly to Mexico and then brag about it.
ENOUGH is ENOUGH and we will NOT be silenced.

Wake up and read for yourselves, you liberal sleepwalkers! Think for yourselves, work for yourselves, and most importantly, rely only upon yourselves, just as our wise founding fathers have done!

By the way, elected officials should serve two terms and only two terms, with no more perks for life. If our supposed 'lawmakers' actually had to live with the laws they passed you'd see true reform in this country.

This porkulous spending boondoggle of the Obamanation isn’t meant to stimulate our economy, no, no, no. It’s sole purpose is to ensconce DemocRatz as the ruling political power, while relegating the GOP as the “Loyal Opposition Party” in perpetuity. That seems to be closing in on the long sought goal of “New Age DemocRatz” and that would be one party rule or a totalitarian dictatorship.
Quote NewsMax:
“The Stimulus Shopping List: $1.17 Trillion in Pork Goodies”

The $1.17 trillion stimulus bill passed by House Democrats on Wednesday bears little resemblance to the bill originally proposed by President Obama, with less than 5 percent of the funds now going to repair America’s deteriorating infrastructure.

GOP critics point out the bill is loaded with tens of billions for items ranging from Amtrak subsidies to sexually transmitted diseases to the National Endowment for the Arts -- much of which won’t actually flow into the economy until long after economists expect the current economic crisis to subside.

Provisions of the bill that many legislators are questioning:

$1 billion for Amtrak, which hasn’t earned a profit in four decades.

$2 billion to help subsidize child care.

$400 million for research into global warming.

$2.4 billion for projects to demonstrate how carbon greenhouse gas can be safely removed from the atmosphere.

$650 million for coupons to help consumers convert their TV sets from analog to digital, part of the digital TV conversion.

$600 million to buy a new fleet of cars for federal employees and government departments.

$75 million to fund programs to help people quit smoking.

$21 million to re-sod the National Mall, which suffered heavy use during the Inauguration.

$2.25 billion for national parks. This item has sparked calls for an investigation, because the chief lobbyist of the National Parks Association is the son of Rep. David R. Obey, D-Wisc. The $2,25 billion is about equal to the National Park Service’s entire annual budget. The Washington Times reports it is a threefold increase over what was originally proposed for parks in the stimulus bill. Obey is chairman of the House Appropriations Committee.

$335 million for treatment and prevention of sexually transmitted diseases.

$50 million for the National Endowment for the Arts. $4.19 billion to stave off foreclosures via the Neighborhood Stabilization Program. The bill allows nonprofits to compete with cities and states for $3.44 billion of the money, which means a substantial amount of it will be captured by ACORN, the controversial activist group currently under federal investigation for vote fraud. Another $750 million would be exclusively reserved for nonprofits such as ACORN - meaning cities and states are barred from receiving that money. Sen. David Vitter, R-La., charges the money could appear to be a “payoff” for the partisan political activities community groups in the last election cycle.

$44 million to renovate the headquarters building of the Agriculture Department.

$32 billion for a “smart electricity grid” to minimize waste.

$87 billion of Medicaid funds, to aid states.

$53.4 billion for science facilities, high speed Internet, and miscellaneous energy and environmental programs.

$13 billion to repair and weatherize public housing, help the homeless, repair foreclosed homes.

$20 billion for quicker depreciation and write-offs for equipment.

$10.3 billion for tax credits to help families defray the cost of college tuition.

$20 billion over five years for an expanded food stamp program.

Republican leaders say the stimulus package will add 32 new government programs at a cost of $136 billion. They object that many of the programs, once established, are likely to continue indefinitely.

Most media outlets are reporting the cost of the package at $819 billion. As Newsmax revealed yesterday, however, the Congressional Budget Office calculates that the interest on the debt generated by the bill’s spending will cost another $347.1 billion, making the total cost approximately $1.17 trillion.

It's even worse than Jimmy Carter, he is trying to be FDR who took the unemployment rate of 3.3% in 1929 and turned it into 25.3% by 1933. At that same rate Obama will achieve 38.4% unemployed, but by then the DNC will have found his Kenyan birth certificate and deported him as an illegal alien.

Not only is it unbecoming for elected officals to attack public citizen it also goes againts the roll of freedom of the press and speach in our Democray. There was no attack or add by George Bush or his adminstration againts the Daily Koss,Air America or others of there ilke who constent bersmeshed the President. Obama has made comments of both Sean Hannity and Rush Limbaugh because they dont not agree with Obamas plan for America. I thought dissent was Patriotic, that is what President Obama and Clinton said. President Obama needs to clearly define what his plans are and convince a majority it will work. So far he has not and lowered himself in talking about Limbaugh and Hannity. This is a change, President Bush would not attack private citizen or dignify them with a response. Leadership is getting people to do what you because they want to not wasting time attacking those who dont agree with you.

I don't call to take Keith Olbermann, Rachel Maddow, Ed Schulz, Chris Matthews, or Randi Rhoads off the air, even though I think they're dishonest and subversive.

I respect even their free speech rights.

So anyone who calls for Rush and other conservative commentators to be removed from the airwaves, simply because of their principled opposition to liberalism, is a clear and present danger to our republic and deserves to be treated as such.

I never thought I would see the day where so many people would go against Freedom of Speech where they make an organization with ads to shut up and down a citizen of the USA. Why do liberals hate freedom of speech?

I don't listen to Rush very often but for the most part him and I agree on a lot of stuff. Doesn't mean he controls me. He doesn't do anything but show his opinion. When was that against the law?

LIES. When FDR took office in 1933, you lying son of a bitch, the unemployment was 25%, this was the number he took office with, thanks to Hoover. Only a psychotic Rush listener would blame Hoover's high unemployment numbers on FDR. You sick, sick Anti-American traitor.

Hoover was a conservartive, he failed America
Coolidge was a conservartive, he failed America
Harding a conservative, he failed America

all 3 stood by as the economy fell apart, leaving FDR with a 25% unemployment rate by the time he took office. YOUR CRASH, your FAILURE, conservative FAILURE.

Great post, Brian. Thanks for keeping us informed. It truly will light a fire under the conservatives. May we grow in passion, numbers, and boldness!

Thanks for leading the way, Rush.

The National Endowment of the Arts, employs 5.6 million people, NOT PORK BARREL SPENDING, you traitor

that is not "pork barrel", 5.6 million people work in the non-profit sector of the arts.

5.6 million, including me, I work in theatre, non-profit, I'm a stage hand and if it was not for the NEA, my theater would not exist

Conservatives obviously hate workers.

Money for the NEA is money well spent, every ballet company, orchestra, chamber music group,
is funded in part of the NEA, over 5.6 million people, from talent to carpenters, to bartenders and theatre front of house staff, all made possible by the NEA

the NEA is not pork
short sited, ignorant and terrified of research, the conservative movement has destroyed this countryt

brainless, zombies. Thanks guys, ditto-heads made conservatism irrelevant for decades to come

YOU LOST, CONS, you are the moon-bats, who cling to Hoover's failed policies, cling to Reagan's failed policies, cling to Harding, cling to Coolidge, and cling to W

conservatism is dead. Arguing against the New Deal is the same as arguing 1+1=3

If the NEA is not classic pork then I am a banana. "Pork" is money for stuff no one would pay for without the guns of the elected class having taken their money and that includes every one of these "theaters." They are a bad joke.

Washington Post reports that WWRC 1260 in Washington D.C. is dumping liberal talk in favor of biz talk,
because it got "ratings too low to
be measured". A failure, in Washington DC!

In most markets it is the local businessmen who buy ads on talk shows and they will not touch a liberal show because they do not like the ideas, hate and invectives all the lefties espouse in the name of "entertainment?"

Somehow moonbat neocomms manage to infrequently bring a little humor to discussions. Perhaps someday a few of them will bring something intelligent to share with us. Seeing this associate of the porkulous NEA errantly defining what isn’t Porkulant Spending is almost funny.

Aren’t there any theaters in existence without the NEA? Of course there are, as there are talented artists all across our great land who don’t require extorted FedFunds for their survival. There are even some stagehands who earn a nice living without the porkulous NEA. It’s an artists talent that brings fame and fortune not Porcine Federal Boondoggles.

Hey broken record. Conservatives don’t support unproductive workers like union jobs. Not only do I not support them I love to see them busted. Your job is even worse no one supports your job except the government. If I am wrong why could your “job” not make it with out support from hard working tax payers? Like I have always said you’re a leach on society. Get a real job you socialist loser.

The proper place for NEA funding is in an annual appropriations bill. An economic "stimulus" bill should not contain one dime for the NEA.

When has Rush Limbaugh offered any real solutions?

His math is always off.

He makes bold pronouncements without any proof.

He is doing more to insure the GOP goes the way of the do-do then any liberal ever could. Does the man not 'get it'? How many elections must the GOP lose before this guy is no longer taken seriously?

Nothing but an obstructionist. Sad Sad Sad.

He could never become president. He is a drug addict.

Honestly people, this is such a stupid idea.
The left just can not see themselves and they THINK and believe that THEY are so smart...yet they have no clue just how many people can see them more clearly then they see themselves. Rush is one who sees clearly and anyone who really listens to Rush soon see the left for who they are FRAUDS and self deluded wanabes.

No shock you hate workers, you and your filthy kind, defended doing away with an inheritance tax but TRASH UNION WORKERS

you defend the lazy and privileged
and ATTACK the workers

Nobody in a union is LAZY, tell that to the sewer cleaners, the carpenters, electricians, garbage men, cops, firemen, you dirty Anti-American pig.ALL UNION workers.

You defend the rich, and their inherited money, and attack the working class. True traitor, you are an elitist conservative pig

What do you do for a living, piggy?
You know what I do? What is it piggy?

I work for NEA funded institution. We need the money. My bread and butter. The N.E.A money will SAVE jobs, as an example Carnegie Hall cut 180 performances already due to lack of funding..

I'm dead serious Hash, this effects me,and5.6 million workers the money is necessary.

L1 asked

The fine arts are all funded by NEA,ballet, dance,classical music, chamber concerts.Without the NEA, fine arts would cease to exist, a country without culture, the only culture left would be reality TV and motion pictures. I suppose as a conservative,culture is only as good as its profitability

that culture and education stuff, conservatives reject

Rush and ditto heads are are reflection of a dying nation, populated by half-wits, troglodytes
greedy pigs who defend the lazy billionaires and attack working people...Rush is what happens when the rich brainwash a certain population of undereducated working folk into supporting everything that will destroy the working class

There are a few dimbulbs who still look to our crumbling FedGov for their very existence. Those mindless lib-bots contend that without our FedGov there’d be nothing and only because of d’NEA we have culture.

Creativity and culture are born out of torment and struggle success and failure, it’s the NEA that’s blocking creativity, not a vast rightwing conspiracy.

Rush Hudson Limbaugh III ~ The Talking Turd . . .

By Anonymous, at 05 February, 2009 06:24
I don’t need to tell you anything about me you already know so much. Using your wisdom I must work at McDonalds’ since I have no college degree but they make more than 18K so I must be part time so I can listen to Rush.

As for your lies about carpenters electricians and plumbers being in unions not one of the one’s I hire are in a union. They do great work real craftsmanship. I would not hire a union to put up a mailbox. You ask where this dislike for unions comes from its there ability to put companies out of business with their LAZY NO WORKING IGNORANT ATTITUDE.

As for what I do, I work eighty hours a week to keep a company “profitable”. I no you hate that word but it helps to ensure employment for thousands of employees. How can I do this you may ask? This is accomplished this year by eliminating 350 union jobs that are not pulling their weight. You see this will send a message to New York that their jobs could be next. I hope they get the message but sadly they want. They will do the exact opposite and Union leaders will call for a work slow down. That means that their slack will be picked up by a nonunion shop in FL. This makes them look worse and the shop in FL look better. In the union leaders minds they think this will show us. They have some great minds at work in the union leadership NOT.

Later this year your lazy union workers will be unemployed union nobodies.

On another subject, I am sad to say that our company supports the NEA I don’t know why, we support them with our tax money already. After the Dem’s screw up the economy we probably want be able to afford too in the future.

Damn it must really suck being you. Quick hit the lights. Working hard I see. Sorry joke from my wife.

no idea how this got so far off topic but here's my 2 cents on unions

i have been anti-union since i was 13. A couple of my friends dads who worked at a local factory and were members of the UAW were bragging about the fact that since their machines at work were broke they went to work and played cards all night. Their contract did not allow the company to send them home or give them other work to do, so they played cards for a week collecting $20 plus dollars an hour. anyone wonder why the government is now bailing out a failing us auto industry?

This mister Limbaugh is so negative. All i need is to look at his picture and and feel negative vibes.

I bet he had a nasty youth and couldn't get over it.

No chance at all for Obama from this man.

Let us all be happy with what we have in this very rich first world.

People who spread hate often look like Limbaugh, just look, you wil see....

Let the man step out of his anger and do something for this world with all his money.

I hope Obama gets a chance.

Linbaugh and the other narrow minded conservative pundits obviously will make millions if Obama's policies fail. And their followers will continue to derive their sick sadistic pleasure from bashing the Dems and liberals. Do they not realize that if Obama's policies fail, we are all doomed? Do these people even read the paper? When unemployment reaches 15% and the conservatives are out of a job, with no healthcare coverage, maybe they will finally get it.
The Republicans got us into this disaster, and they offer absolutely no credible alternative to Obama's plan. Maybe its a good thing that the conservatives are so fixated on their own selfish desires. They are repugnant to the majority of Americans, and therefore will never have control of our future. Both groups are simply an embarassment to every proud citizen of this country.

Phil Graham is the only Republican that had anything to do with the current problem, but at that time Bill Clinton was President and the Democrats controlled Congress. The key was the Glass-Stegeall Act that kept commercial banks from bundling mortgages into derivatives. Add Barney Frank and Chris Dodd racial lending, affirmative action lending and we got a time bomb with a six year fuse.

The New Deal and Jimmy Carter proved Obamanomics will not work. Both of these government controlled economy experiments were huge disasters as testified to by Henry Morganthau, FDR's Secretary of the Treasury to a Joint Committee of Congress on the same day the US Supreme Court found the New Deal's NRA engine unconstitutional.

If you don't know history you will relive it and this most unhappily.

By Adrian Vance, at 01 March, 2009 11:10
The New Deal created 8 million new jobs. Obama's plan is not the New Deal. Looking back at isolated events is a helpful reference, but you can't make broad comparisons to historic economic policies that may or may not have worked when hundreds of the variables are different today. Fiscal stimulous through deficit spending works, but the government needs to control spending during the ensuing periods of economic expansion so we do not enter into the next recession with huge deficits. Clinton was one of the few presidents that understood this. He delivered a surplus to Bush. The Bush tax cuts helped to get us out of the 2001 recession but he failed to control expenses, or looking at it another way, he failed to increase revenue to pay for his pet project (the Iraq war). Republicans like to blame the liberals for creating the financial crisis. They cite the Community Reinvestment Act as the catalyst that encouraged bankers to lend irresponsibly. That argument doesn't hold water. There is no legislation that encourages bankers or any other lender to engage in reckless, irresponsible lending activites. But the laws do prohibit descriminatory lending practices. There's a huge difference. Our financial system collapse is not rooted in laws passed years ago. Nor is it rooted in Greenspan's low interest rates. It is rooted in a lack of oversight by the government regulatory agencies to properly police bank lending practices over the past decade. Add to that an abundance of greed and pervasive incompetence in the leadership of banks and in particular the rating agencies (Moody's and S&P)and you get financial disaster.

Obama's plan is expensive and unprecedented. He has limited options given the unspeakable devastation left by the Republicans. We should all pray that Obama will succeed, and that Linbaugh will fail in his odious attempt to undermine our president's efforts to save this economy.

Go to the US Dept. of Labor and read the stats for 1929 to 1940. You will see that unemployment went from 16% at the beginning of FDR's term to a high of 25.3% in 1933 and was never much below 20% until 1938 when FDR's Treasury Secretary Henry Morganthau testified the New Deal was a disaster, unemployment had never been higher "and we have a monstrous debt!" The only "jobs" FDR created where in the CCC corps where young men were bunking in tar paper shacks with few windows, living on bread and soup so thin the recipe for 400 servings called for one chicken and they were paid $1 per day, $250 per year while Mrs. Roosevelt charged charities $1000 to $1500 per appearance at functions or on-the-air and FDR's son had an insurance company that wrote policies for everyone seeking a government contract. The Democrats have been utterly corrupt for 100 years.

By Adrian Vance, at 02 March, 2009 10:12
FDR took office in 1933. He inherited high unemployment. The WPA created 8 million jobs between 1935 and 1943. Enough about the New Deal already, it has no resemblance to Obama's recovery plan. You say the Dems have been corupt for 100 yrs. C'mon, there must be one or two years in all that time that most of the Dems were not corrupt. Politicians have power and huge egos. Unfortunately many times they are weak in character which leads to corruption. But that goes for republicans and Dems. Corruption is everywhere, take a look.
But that is not what I came here to talk about. I came to express my sorrow about the damage being caused by people like Rush, Hannity, O'Reilly, etc. They prey on republicans generally and conservatives specifically. Their agenda is crystal clear. They are lining their pockets by convincing gullible listeners and viewers that Obama is evil and wants to turn the US into a socialistic society. These pundits are all very rich. They have one motive and that is to protect their very privileged lifestyle by selling books and attracting listeners and viewers for their programs. I feel sorry for the innocent conservatives who unwittingly get aroused by the pundits' vicious attacks on our government. Middle class America will benefit by Obama's policies, the affluent class will have to pay a little more. Rush, Hannity, etc. are part of the affluent class, and they increase their wealth by deceiving middle class Americans into believing that tax cuts for the middle class (Obama's plan) are bad. Of course they hate Obama. Over the past decade there has been a massive redistribution of wealth from middle class America to the top 3% of income earners. Obama is giving back to the middle class what Bush has removed. Yet Rush and his deciples try to convince middle America that he is on their side. Conservatives, wake up! Can't you see that you are being used. Rush and his clones are greedy, selfish, and insincere. They are after your money.
This is a very vulnerable time for our country. We simply do not need people feverishly working to undermine the efforts of those who are trying to repair this nation.

Anonymous, your words are as genuine as your identity, hence you hide.

The New Deal caused unemployment to rise from the 16% it was as FDR took office to 25.3% in 1933 and it never really went much under 20% until 1939 when the English came with gold to buy arms. The New Deal created no new jobs unless you call working in a CCC corps for $1 per day, $250 per year, living in tar paper barracks eating brown bread and soup with one chicken for 400 servings.

Roosevelt's son Elliot had an insurance company that made millions because you would have to buy his insurance to get a govt. contract. Eleanor charged charities $1,000 to $1,500 for any appearance at an event or on the radio. She and her son made millions in that kind of graft.

I am a converted Democrat after 26 years of party membership having found they were utterly insincere while I had an entre' as a journalist photographer. In their meetings I never heard the "N" word so many times in my life.

The Democrats and all left-leaning people, socialists and communists are not about making things better for everyone. They are about making things better for themselves. Their ideas fail for the masses every time.

If you want to see what socialism really does to people go to one of our Indian reservations. No one cares about anything. The men have no ambition or spunk. Most are addicted to something. All are perennially poor and the smart ones get out to enjoy a free enterprise world, or at least they did, but that is dying a horrible death now at the hands of Barack Obama.

Holy cow, what idiots the conservatives are! These people who say that unemployment rose from 16% to 25%, or from 3% to 25%, under FDR are too dumb to have cracked a history book! Unemployment was 25%+ on FDR's first day in office. Look it up, crazies.

He does nothing to help make our nation better in the eyes of the world. He thinks the only priority is to let the right wing rule the nation. He doesn't care about the american people, only
wants to make more money from his
followers and knock the USA.
He should retire and let his followers learn to think for themselves.!!!

Rush is defending the America that got us to where America as and not where it will be if it becomes socialist. When he says he wants Obama to fail he is talking about his policies and the nation. Rush is very clear on this point and if you do not understand it then you should not do anything more complicated than chew gum or ride a tricycle.
