Democrats are stuffing and mounting Rush Limbaugh as the new “monster trophy” for their party to rally against. Vilifying a targeted conservative to win elections worked for Democrats in 1996 and 1998 (Newt Gingrich), in 2006 (Tom Delay and Mark Foley), and 2008 (Bush). Why stop now?From Debra Saunders, San Francisco Chronicle:
As Politico.com reported last week, Demo gurus James Carville and Stan Greenberg first concocted the idea of making Limbaugh the GOP albatross last year after a poll showed that among younger voters Limbaugh's ratings were in the toilet. White House adviser David Axelrod and Press Secretary Robert Gibbs joined in the get-Limbaugh gambit, while White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel called Limbaugh "the voice and the intellectual force and energy behind the Republican party" on CBS' "Face the Nation." The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee jumped into the act and sent out an e-mail instructing recipients to send an "urgent call" for GOP senators "to denounce [Limbaugh’s] shameful rhetoric."
