Billboard For Rush: Dems Putting Sign Outside Limbaugh's Home
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!

Have something you'd like to say to Rush Limbaugh? The Democratic National Committee is planning to put a billboard outside the talk radio host/alleged Republican leader's home, and they're asking supporters to help come up with something good. The letter:

I'm Jen O'Malley Dillon, the new Executive Director of the Democratic National Committee.


If you're anything like me, then you've had the urge to talk back to a right-wing talk radio host more than a few times. Now you can.

Rush Limbaugh has made waves lately about his desire to see President Obama fail. And he's unapologetic, even though Americans voted in November for the very kind of change the President is bringing to Washington. As even Limbaugh must know, if the President fails, America fails.

Incredibly, Republican leaders have yet to condemn Limbaugh for his destructive comments. In fact, Republicans like Congressman Eric Cantor, a leader in the House, have adopted the Limbaugh strategy, telling the Washington Post recently that their strategy on the President's jobs plan was "just saying no."

The only Republican leader to challenge Limbaugh -- the chairman of the Republican National Committee -- even called Rush to apologize just a few days later.

But we have no apologies for Rush, just a message. We need you to come up with a slogan, in ten words or less, that we'll put on a billboard where he can't miss it -- in his hometown of West Palm Beach, Florida.

Can you help us come up with a message for Rush that we'll place on a billboard right in his hometown?

We'll go through all the slogans we get, and the winner will have his or her message appear on the billboard -- and receive a free T-shirt featuring the winning slogan.

15. I'd go with:
Edited on Thu Mar-05-09 11:10 PM by madamesilverspurs

"We're sorry, Rush - that you don't live somewhere else!"


or,


"Big butt cheeks for rent, only Republican lips need apply."

16. There are no billboards in Palm Beach...ever. Clear Channel is in
West Palm Beach, that might be the place for this childish activity that will most certainly backfire. Time to grow up and move on.

19. Hey Rush: "Let justice roll like a river, like a never-failing stream!" -Amos 5:24
I can't afford to contribute right now, so I didn't submit this. It's a verse I think I heard President Obama use in the campaign. Feel free to use it if you like.
How could rush bitch about this, it's from the Bible. Let him try, the asshole.

22. Why give him more attention? He's an idiot, but that's pretty obvious to most people.
The people who like him are too far gone to reach.

24. I thought he lived in Palm Beach proper
Last time I was in FLA my buddy pointed out his house, or the wall outside his house. He could have been wrong.

29. He lives out on the island across the ICW with all the other rich bastards
in a very exclusive "neighborhood" of mansions about 300 yards from where Ann Coulter lives.

The Florida Voter Registration System (FVRS = voter file) gives the addresses for all these people and you can plug it into to Google Maps or another mapping program and see just where they live if you know how to look them up.

26. All this does is feed his ginormous ego, and give him something to talk about.
Bad idea.

27. A waste of money and time and energy...all it will do is confirm to Rush that he's pushing our butto
ns and that's what he gets off on...

It is better to treat him and his next door neighbor Ann Coulter like they are invisible. The more you ignore them the more they act out and make fools of themselves. They are like little kids in the supermarket who want candy at the checkout and throw temper tantrums. If you you acknowledge their tantrum they know it is working and they are in control.


Ignore them. They are irrelevant. Don't make them relevant this way.

30. Why the DNC is sinking to Rush's level
is beyond me. All this does is elevate Rush's stature on the right. He keeps baiting the Democrats and the Democrats keep taking the bait.

If Democratic talking heads like Begala and Carville want to engage in this back and forth, that's up to them. However this kind of silliness should be far beneath the DNC.
