As Rush Limbaugh emerges as the new leader and voice of the Republican Party, radio stations and advertisers have an obligation to reconsider their support.
Limbaugh will always be nothing more than a marginally talented buffoon who has developed a real talent for manipulating the G-spot of the neocon consciousness and massaging the hate gland of so many economically displaced white voters.
The Republican Party, America's second oldest political party and a force in American politics and government since the time of Abraham Lincoln, died on March 1. It was 155 years old.
Rush Limbaugh leaned his meaty hands on the lectern at the CPAC conference and slipped a greasy dollar bill into the G-string of the writhing conservative dead-enders.
Conservatives are feverishly working to rewrite the last eight years and distance themselves from George W. Bush. As progressives, we can't let their current attempt at an extreme makeover go unchallenged.
We need Rush Limbaugh. America needs a villain to juxtapose itself against and to have a receptacle for the stupidity, selfishness, and pride that got us in the economic mess we're in.
Limbaugh has made himself crystal clear: even in the midst of the terrible economic crisis we are in, he wants the president to fail. No Republican member of Congress has condemned those remarks.
A direct confrontation with Limbaugh would be bad for Obama and almost certainly will not happen, but the elevation of Limbaugh is good for Obama and the Democrats.
Has the Republican Party found a new de-facto leader in the form of former House Speaker Newt Gingrich? Arianna joins Keith Olbermann on Countdown to...
Rush, If you believe your ideas are so much better and that if you stood on an equal platform with the President you'd really clean his clock, then there is a way you could debate him -- run for president!
Republicans, do not look for Obama-lite as your spokesperson. Look to Mitt Romney. He could not answer the call in 2008, but maybe he can do so now. He is your best bet.
Rush made no bones about it. He wants the President of the United States to fail -- and he was wildly cheered at CPAC. Apparently, their "team" is the Conservative Movement, not the American people.
The more people that hear Limbaugh articulate his disdain for the success of America the better will be the country's chances of rejecting his hateful ideology and getting back on the path to prosperity.
Mr. Limbaugh elaborated on his planet explosion theory, explaining that if the world blows up in the next four years "it will happen on Barack Obama's watch."
Conservative values are cutting taxes and individual liberties without government control. That is how Republicans have been acting for the past eight years.
The Republican party must choose if its principles are fiscal responsibility and family values, or racism, sexism and a desire to see our country fail.
America's top CEOs have declared their top legislative priority for 2009 -- to scuttle the bipartisan legislation that would restore workers' freedom to form unions and bargain for a better life.

I like these photo sets because it makes the President seem more human and less God-like. They have said that the President has already begun to feel cramped in the White House--which is understandable, it is a type of prison for many first families. It is good for him to get out and be amongst the people.
Historians have said in the past Presidents have been seen walking around the streets of D.C. like the common folk. While the President probably isn't going to go that far, little stuff like this says a lot.
I'd like to see more of this; subitle balloons with the hunorous outcomes; this is an excellent way to project the light-heartedness we need right now. I think it is very effective !
If you play pick up basketball & don't multi-task, you learn how to or nobody will play with you. Obama multi-tasks with the best of the lot. That will be discussed when somebody does a "Day with Obam" feature article. While LBJ went to football games in Tejas so he could talk politics & missed the game; Obama probably watches the game, uses his black berry, shakes hands, chats up people & a few other things. Obama doesn't miss anything in the game either. You have to constantly scan the full court to watch basketball; it's a fast moving game. If you doubt that, listen to a radio broadcast of a basketball game. Who ever calls a game has to always scan the court to call a game right. If you don't listen closely you miss important things.
The director of a live telecast has a difficult, exacting job. Watch how the shots change rapidly. You must be an artist to direct a telecast of a basketball game. In the old days of b & w with bulky cameras, it wasn't the game you see now.
