MoveOn once asked (link via Save the GOP) who would pay for the President’s deficit spending. Let’s ask again:
The War On Limbaugh
LEFTOSPHERE ABUZZ WITH NOTION AMERICA PREFERS OBAMA BAD BOYS
“Congressional Republicans have turned to Rush Limbaugh to lead the battle against Obama. One problem: A poll says he’s less popular than Jeremiah Wright.”
- Max Blumenthal

The left is trying their utmost, of late, to make Limbaugh the symbol of all Republicans, and then tear down Limbaugh to tear us all down. They are trying their hardest, with Obama fecklessly “leading” the charge, to paint a picture of Republican members of Congress groveling and scraping before Limbaugh (if only!) because they apparently, and absurdly, think that this is some strategy for getting (R) votes on (D) legislation.
The trickle-down of this so-called strategy has the left’s propaganda organs nearly daily touting new evidence of how irrelevant Rush is becoming in the age of Obama. See how clever they are? If Rush is the power of the party, and he is irrelevant, so too must be the party, and therefore you are an outsider if you agree with Limbaugh or Republicans.
One of the recent tactics is touting polling data regarding how popular El Rushbo is. Last week, Max Blumenthal took top prize in this category by assessing a poll from October, conducted by Democratic research firm Greenberg-Quinlan-Rosner, to conclude that Limbaugh is less popular than Bill Ayers or Jeremiah Wright. Can’t you just feel the left-wing glee? (If not, search Google or Technorati for the Blumenthal conclusion and witness the poll-gasms first-hand.) Titles like “Americans Prefer Terrorist to Limbaugh,” “Rush Limbaugh Less Popular Than Radical Ayers or Reverend Wright” and so on screamed across the left online.
Blumenthal’s article, titled “Rush Limbaugh Loses a Popularity Contest” (originally titled, as you can see from the URL, “America To Rush, Drop Dead”), is so much of an overreach it overreaches overreaching. As a matter of fact, despite the frenzied parroting of this now KnownFact™ across the left-o-sphere, it’s just flat false.
