Chief Pinata for the Democratic Party, Rush Limbaugh is being attacked again. This time the attack is coming in the form of campaign literature that is being distributed by a Democrat running for an open House seat in New York's 20th congressional seat to replace the former member Kirsten Gillibrand. A direct mail piece being used by the Democrat Scott Murphy, who hopes to replace MS. Gillbrand in a traditionally Republican district is using the Limbaugh mailing to turn up the heat in the race and influence greater numbers of Democrats to show up at the polls next Tuesday, March 31st.
The mailer superimposes text over a pensive looking photo of Barack Obama and complains that: "Rush Limbaugh and his lackeys in Washington the Republicans in the House, have made it clear that they will try to be a roadblock to the change America desperately needs. You can help stop them by sending Scott Murphy to Congress to help Barrack Obama change Washington."
On the same mailer, there is an angry looking photo of Limbaugh with the words "I hope Obama fails" superimposed in large block letters over the defacto leader of the GOP. Along the bottom of the mailing enclosed in parentheses is the ominous statement that: "Somebody wants you to stay home on March 31st...." The clear indication being that it is Limbaugh and his cronies in Washington who want to adversely affect the recovery of the nation.
Limbaugh has been the central figure in a concerted Democratic push against the right wing conservative ideologues who are pushing the Republican agenda of obfuscation and obstruction against the Democrats in Congress and President Obama in particular.
Democrats have been more than overjoyed to use the many 'shoot from the hip' style of comments uttered by Limbaugh on his nationally syndicated radio talk show, as well as the comments he made in his overblown keynote address at the Conservative Political Action Conference this past February. Limbaugh has proven to be an excellent source for turning out Democratic fundraisers to raise money but Democrats have turned Limbaugh into a strategic vote production tool as the Democrats make use of the many absurd statements made by Limbaugh and his followers to spur Democratic turnout.
It comes as no surprise that Democrats find Limbaugh and his irk to be a vile group of anti-patriots and the length of time and manner in which national Democrats have vilified Limbaugh it wouldn't be surprising if his entrance into the campaign brings out a larger Democratic turnout and the house seat stays in Democratic control.
