Limbaugh, the Face of the GOP

Chris Cillizza asks a qustion: Is Rush Limbaugh the New Face of the GOP? .

"The party is in transition," said Ed Rogers, a Republican lobbyist and close ally of Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour. "Our leaders have not found their voice or direction....Limbaugh is filling a vacuum in a world that requires a constant media counter-point."

While there is nearly unanimous agreement with Rogers's sentiment that Limbaugh is filling a void left by the departure of former President George W. Bush from the scene, whether that is a good or a bad thing remains a point of considerable contention among party strategists.

"Rush is a double-edged sword, he cuts both ways" said Phil Musser, a Republican consultant and former executive director of the Republican Governors Association. "Sometimes you love him, sometimes you cringe at his impolitic (he'd say honest) fusillados."

John Weaver, a former senior aide to Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), said that Republicans must be careful not to allow their Democratic rivals to paint them all with the brush of Limbaugh.

"The Democrats and the far left will do all they can to grab electoral turf," said Weaver. "And one sure way to do it is take some of the most controversial voices on the extreme right -- like Limbaugh and [Alaska Gov. Sarah] Palin -- and try to insist they speak for all members of the center/right movement."

Whether Limbaugh continues to play as prominent a role as the GOP attack dog against Obama remains to be seen. If history is any guide, he will. Limbaugh -- along with former House Speaker Newt Gingrich (Ga.) -- is credited with leading the Republican revolt that brought about the 1994 wave election and his near-constant agitation against former President Bill Clinton is well-known.

Put simply: Limbaugh isn't going anywhere any time soon. And his voice -- and influence -- may well get stronger with the GOP out of power. Is that a good thing or a bad thing for Republicans? Time will tell.

Weaver attacks Rush and Palin as nutjobs. I'd ask him how many moderate Republicans are actually left in the GOP since Newt took over and turned them into a freak show.

When hasn't Rush Limbaugh been the face of the GOP? Why is it so hard for the media to admit this simple fact? Rush speaks for the GOP. He speaks many of the impolitic fusillados that they all believe in, but would never say out loud although during the past eight years we have heard some pretty sick things coming out of the House Republicans...

With Limbaugh, face, ass, it's all the same. That's why it's so hard to tell whether he's coming or going.

What is Rush but the old whore with a snatch that you can drive a Soviet-era tractor through? This is a guy who initially opposed McCain because he wasn't Republican enough then showed how feeble he was by lunging on board the Straight Talk Express just before Palin drove it over a cliff like a one-woman Thelma and Louise. New Face? So I guess Phyllis Schlafly is the new sex symbol of the GOP, too?

The wingnuts who follow him would never support any rational approach to government, so there's nothing to lose and everything to gain by him taking over the Republican party.

to those outside the beltway. We've known for nearly two decades that this piece of trash is the 'real' voice of the GOP. Without the mouth-breathing, slogan-spewing, inbred-racist fools who tune in to his show daily, the GOP would have been pushed aside long ago. He's the #1 source of right-wing propaganda, which is then repeated ad-nauseum by the 'liberal media' as the 'other' perspective in their lofty search for 'balance'.
Every time I run in to one of these 'angry white male' types, they invariably spew his bullshit verbatim.
Coincidence?
Riiiight.

Col. Kilgore's picture

that it was just the "mouth-breathing, slogan-spewing, inbred-racist fools" who listen to Rush/Hannity. But it ain't just the fools.

On the contrary, Hate Radio blankets the airwaves. In many areas, there isn't much else on the air besides church music or weather reports. So otherwise intelligent people, trapped in their cars or trucks for hours at a time, tune into Rush.

I'm always surprised and horrified when people (who should know better) begin to parrot Hate Radio talking points. Rush and Hannity have figured out a very effective type of brain-washing.

Bill Lumbergh's picture

Even my dear sweet Grandma will occasionally trot out some BS she heard while driving to church or the grocery store. She uses talk radio to lull her to sleep at night. It makes me cringe. But without those true believers who tune in faithfully, the ad dollars wouldn't be there, and these scumbags wouldn't have a platform to spew their lies.
It's the regular listeners (morons) who keep this evil creation alive.

The good news about Rush's audience is that a large percentage of it is dying off.

What I find interesting is that John Weaver says that Limbaugh AND Palin are on the "extreme right." At least he's being honest here including both of these nuts.

Yeah, that idiot sack Limpballs has long been the voice of the GOP. There is absolutely no denying that.

But, there are other voices out there as well....I just watched about 2 minutes of Beck's new show when it started this afternoon. What an idiot. What a moron. I can't see how anyone can stand that guy at all.

These jerks are polluting the airwaves and TV screens across this country, and it's sickening.

I suppose when your job is to talk 90% of your working day, things like this happen. Escalating this to a Presidential level was a mistake...an honest one.

Obama should make a vow never to let the names "Limbaugh" or any other of the right-wing talking-head nuts to cross his lips again.

Shadowgm's picture

Under no circumstances should Limbaugh become He Who Shall Not Be Named.

He's an ideological thug and a pill-popping, draft-dodging coward. He NEEDS to be called out, so people can see there's nothing behind all his scaremongering and bluster.

But not by the President of the United States! That why he has staff.

Agreed. Toe-to-toe is just fine by me.

Rico's picture

Toe-to-toe is not good for Obama because it gives face time to his enemies. Because of the nature of the office, anybody who the President decides to take on becomes front-page news, and who wants to see more of the gutless wonder on TV? I don't.

Also, this will be my last post on this topic because further posting only proves my point more. Either way it's a PR bonanza for Limbaugh thanks to our President.

xoites defends Constitution's picture

Mentioning Rush or Hannity is a big mistake.

John Amato's picture

for Obama to call him out...Limbaugh's audience is big already so it doesn't matter on that front. Obama is putting a face to the GOP....

I know I said I wouldn't post again on this topic, but for you, John, I will make an exception.

Obama has surprised us before by defying conventional wisdom. But listening to the press coverage today on this topic, I think Rush got the better end of the deal. Besides, why would Obama want to take on Rush himself, instead of staffing it out? Doesn't that only elevate Rush to a level where he doesn't belong?

and its coordinated UNCONTESTED repetition has been deciding what is and what isn't acceptable in the rest of the media for most of 20 years, since reagan killed the Fairness Doctrine. obama's surrogates would get trashed- it had to be obama himself- it really is the PARTY OF LIMBAUGH- why not go after the guy that's been doing the groundwork for all their crap for 20 years, as leader of the talk radio monopoly?

great move obama- and he's putting GOP politicians and the media on notice to be careful to repeat the absurd talking points that only become acceptable for regurgitation on the national stage because limbaugh and sons prechewed them all over the country 24/7/365.

its time for obamans to get his back by getting a headache listening to limbaugh just to list the local sponsors and call them and ask them why they would sell their products and services with a guy who's been completely wrong about EVERYTHING.

A man in California lost his job and savings as he waited for the bailout package for the Govenment. Thanks to Republican Law Makers blocking it this man killed himself and his family. How many more Americans will kill themselves and their families in despaire as Rrepublican continue their plan to continue their plan to make sure Obama/Biden fail.

ricky's picture

is thinking he there is much in the Republican party beyond the Limbaugh Palin wing. There is a radio talk show host, Dan Patrick, who has Texas Republicans quaking (quacking) at his pronouncements. For those who thought he did not represent the mainstream of the party, he showed them by running for an open state Seante seat and beating incumbent House members in a primary handily. There's a Senate opening in Florida. Maybe Rush can send his maid down to file for the vacancy.

I hope the GOP keeps obstructing everything, so all people can actually see how much they hate America and constantly wet their pants when they can't have their own way.

Because they will alienate all moderates and Independents, and will not regain the white house anytime soon..The ONLY way the Republican Party can regain the White House is if they move to the left and become more moderate. That's why I hope they continiue their shift to the right.

That's why I hope the Republicans nominate Sarah Palin to run in 2012, and declare America a christian nation. Their chances of winning the election would be ZERO.

I don't understand why some people on the left want Rush, Hannity, etc to shut up- i say LET THEM continue their right wing diatribes- They are digging their own ditch. They are doing a better job at proving themselves irellivant than we ever could.

Trittydi's picture

The re-Thugs - who have proved decisively that they cannot run government -- cannot live without the power. They will not be happy until they steal their way back into the White House. The party as it is now - cannot win an election without stealing it.

They are the clear minority in this country and their core demographics - white men, homophobes, misogynists, xenophobes, bigots and racists -- are dying off.

Thus they have the Limpballs, InSannity's, Coultergists, Malkins, Cavuto's, and O'Lielly's - to name a few - to be the engines of their party. We will not see them go quietly. Barring the natural intervention of mother nature - we are stuck with them.

However - knowing them for what they are, sociopaths, and never underestimating them becomes critical.

It's so unFAIR of the "far left" to try and make it seem like Palin and Limbaugh represent the mainstream of the Republic party.

I mean, it's not like Limbaugh ever has prominent Republicans on his show. Just Dick Cheney and Karl Rove.

And it's not like Sarah Palin was ever nominated to high office or anything.

Liberals are so unfair.

and came to conclusion he is about to implode. He actually blamed the 40,000 job lost yesterday to President Obama. He went on to talk about this is a war and on his 2nd week Obama killed 40,000. He is truly a nut job.

General Jack D. Ripper's picture

Whenever he says crap like this, he is dead serious about it. He has the number one talk show in the country with a large number of listeners. Some of these nimrods will actually believe him and start spreading more crap.

Tweety is having a segment now about Limpballs. Pat Buchanan is basically saying that Limpballs is the leader of the GOP. In effect, he is saying that Boner and Cantor don't know what they're doing or where to lead the Repubes.....so Limpballs seems to be the leader.

Limpballs may be an "entertainer," but he is a lot more than that....he's the face/the voice/the general of the GOP (and idiot pig as well!)

ALEJCARO's picture

Democrats would be smart to paint the Rebublican Party with the likes of Limbaugh, O'Reilly, Hannity and Coulter, and the like. They should just post out there what they say, verbatim, and let the American people will decide. The overwhelming amount of the American People are good, decent folks, and will repudiate Limbaugh and his like, as witnessed in the last election.

Just post Coulter talking, about anything, and you should see Democrats rising in the polls.

Republicans always try to paint the Democrats with the likes of Rev Wright, Louis Farrakhan, William Ayers, etc. Turn about is fair play.

I suppose some people would say that it is good that the “loyal” opposition (repugs) act out some sort of phony pseudo-patriotic crypto-fascist-religious parody in vain hopes of seeming relevant. I’m sure I offend at this very moment bringing these precious facts to way too many conservative attention deficit disordered minds, such as they are, as my ears have been on fire now for weeks, and surely they sit in some secret lair, mumbling something about perverts while making furtive hand gestures and waving a emaciated chicken bone or part, and for all I know, probably incoherently rubbing entrails on themselves whilst in Reaganistic thrall, mouthing ancient tribal curses of some long forgotten people that got here way before we did, before them damn Indians got automatic front-zees, and ruined it for everybody. And I won’t even go into the dearth of any very real chance of getting a decent egg cream or malted or that fantastic garlic sauce you get whence dining on Arab food or whatever. I mean you just don’t get that high quality garlic sauce to slather on your chicken parts or veggie substitute out here behind the orange curtain – it isn’t fair! But unfortunately, that’s the rusted and neglected plow we must use as an entrenching tool, horseless, across the blistered arid topography of our past electorate’s disengaged separation from any and all possible universes, a country in ruins, an eight year slide into impotent saber-rattling by conformist sheep, a virtual dust bowl days (daze?) of what essentially is the firmament of that which is truly the “us” of us. You get me? Fine, be that way!

taps into the angry white male psyche that is so afraid that people of a darker skin pigmentation than him or strong American women with brains might achieve some level of success on their own merit or if allowed to participate on a level playing field.

Rush's commentaries are the face of hate. Where the rest of the American public sees a true melting pot of America -- a multi-racial mix to be celebrated for it's diversity, the likes of Sean Hannity and Rush Limbaugh only see a diminishment of the white American male power. And it scares them. In Rush's world it's ok if you are of another race or the opposite sex as long as you are there to serve his best interests. Other than that, you are asked to shut up and stop rocking the boat.

He's like a dog that's been trained to go to a watering hole, but when that watering hole has dried up, he can't figure out why there is no water there, but he keeps going out of habit. He doesn't like change. But of the few things that exist in this world that is a constant... Change is inevitable.

It has always amazed me that he can get away with his hate on the radio, but when he attempted to do the same thing on a tv show, it failed. Rush taps into the part of us that is not particularly nice instead of the part of us that can be better than we are.

How refreshing to have someone in the White House that appeals to our better selves rather than our darker selves. The more Rush speaks out against Obama, the more that contrast will come to light.

So go ahead, Rush! Have at it! We are better people than you believe us to be.

The thing Rushs tribe..or detractors don't seem to get is that the most honest thing he says is that he is an entertainer.

It's like those lifetime movies "based on a true story". What they are saying is the basic story happened. They have added drama and romance as needed to drive the story. They may minimize some things and maximize other things in pursuit of the story. That's why it's "based" on a true story. Rush does the same thing and tells you he does so when he points out he is an entertainer. He builds heros and villians, he's your day time drama. Sean is trying to sell a brand..the great American brand.
That so many find it as intelligent dialogue is not good news for our future.

have a sort of a "history" with drugs, and little boys - some say.
And, I suspect he would never run for office, as then he would have to temper his thoughtless, racist, misogynistic speech and at least make an effort to be civil to others. I don't think he has the self control to do that for long.

Happy to see that Hannity is doing so poorly with Colmes gone that he has to resort to having Limpballs on for several nights just to pump the ratings.....

Good.

I'm glad the democrats are doing this. After all, the GOP have been putting forth lefty radicals as being representative of progressives for years. Back in the 60s they equated Abbie Hoffman and Jerry Rubin (who were nothing more than publicity whores) with all antiwar protestors. They presented the Chicago 7 as representative of young Democrats. They used radical minorities to scared the bejabbers out of white people who were leaning towards race reconciliation. It's an old GOP trick and it was pretty successful. Let's use their own tactics against them.

David L. Hill's picture

I really dont think so. Sarah Palin's contribution to the McCain ticket was to mobilize and activate the hardcore radical right, the skinheads, the evangelicals, the 'if you have any problems with america get the hell out' set. The trade-off was that she alienated the Constitutionalists and Libertarian GOPs that many of my friends are...the geniunely thoughtful and reflective GOPs that were upset enough with the flaying of the Constitution over the previous 8 years that they voted for Obama. Her declaration that community leaders dont have any real responsibility or importance offended a lot of GOP community leaders as well.

Rush Limbaugh will do what he did in 1994, activate and enrage the radical right. The difference being that centrists and 'sensible GOPs' have now seen what will happen when people like Limbaugh, Hannity, and Coulter get their way.

So no...lightning will not strike twice. It will take a different approach by another pundit or a genuinely inspirational GOP leader to make the GOP a viable threat to win the majority again.

He's been the true voice of the GOP for almost 20 years; fear, greed, hate, militarism, inequality and above all division. It's time for real media to start doing the simplest of things,
play Limbaugh's words in prime time, no editing or comments would be necessary.

Rush "Party Before Country" Limbaugh is, indeed, the new head, chairman of the GOP. He gives the orders and they follow. It's that simple.

bamboozled's picture

He led the Republican Revolt, with Newt Gingrich, after their cowardly draft dodging the Vietnam conflict where my uncle and hundreds of thousands of Americans were killed, fighting for the Corporate greed Gingrich and Limbaugh so callously cherish.

Fortunately, Limbaugh is old and overweight, so he's likely to drop off soon from some sort of fat-related illness. Unfortunately, he'll be replaced by some young propagandist.

And if you don't believe his kind is very dangerous, then watch the film "Shake Hands with the Devil" about Rwanda. The propaganda was the match that created the atmosphere for racial division, civil war and genocide. Then the corporate and religious powers stoked the flames and stood by watching the fire.

This is the far right completely disconnected from reality. Drive by media? Rush IS that media.

I let my curiosity get the better of me and went to Limbaugh's web site. I stayed long enough to realize that at that time they had 2 legitimate advertisers on that site and the rest of the sponsors seemed to be...well....him. Because I actually have purchased Zicam and was appalled to see that they were on his website, I emailed the company protesting their support. The response I recieved was a whole bunch of "ya-da-ya-da". "Rush Limbaugh is a controversial and popular personality. We do not agree with his views. What can we do to address your concerns?" I responded...."pull the adds and quit supporting this clown." Most recent response to that suggestion. "Thank you for your views. We'll file them" So much for concern about consumers. So--I've sworn off the Zicam. (It's never been proven to be effective anyway...it just made me feel like I was doing something for myself when I have a cold)

watchdog's picture

Way back in 1992 was when I first heard the name Rush Limbaugh. At the time for me the face of right wing conservatism waws Morton Downey Jr and Walley George, both big jokes. George himself considered Limbaugh his rival who was stealing his act (if you`ve ever seen George`s show you`d realize how silly that is). Limbaugh or Fat boy as I like to call him, showed me an uglier side of conservatism, another face to the greed and stupidity we normally saw. I used to listen to his show until Nov 97 and his claims about Clinton selling plots in Arlington National Cemetery.

Fatboy has been the hideous face of conservatism since 93 at least, his "ideas" and "personality" have defined conservatism for over a decade now. Everything the GOOP is today is due directly to Limbaugh, in essence, it`s all his fault.

At least in the South. I remember hearing him, when he was just beginning to get picked up beyond whatever his home station was, on the radio in Alabama in the mid-1980s. And every local host was copying him. He's been an influence on the electorate in a wide swath of red America since the Reagan years.

Robt's picture

Rush is living in a world of his own fear, conspiracy(s), egomania, non focused, complete bias, reverse racism, some twisted imaginary royaly personal view of himself.

If Rush ever really took calls from non Ditto-Heads, he would get out of his business and never leave the confines of his illusion within his gated community that he comforts in locking out Americans.

By the way, Rush is the, " ive by media " he whines of. And to believe Rush when he says that leaves the truth telling up to him (Rush) is absolutely A triple dose of convoluted dog barf.

Paul's picture

Actually, I'm betting that Limbaugh is going somewhere soon...to his grave. He's eating himself to death. Judging from his skin tone, I bet his blood pressure is becoming progressively more difficult to control, and he has the look about him of somebody in the middle stages of conjestive heart failure. He's carrying at least 175 pounds more weight than he should.

My advice to him is to keep smoking those cigars and to eat lots of bacon and salty stuff.

Rush,
With all your money and fame, you and I can go to any bar, anywhere...even the most Redneckyist bar...and I will get the pussy...and I won't pay for it. This is the essence of your fixation on race...big bank acounts and notoriety can't make up for the fact that in the light of day you're a self-loathing, digusting slob with a tiny sleeping penis needing drugs and little boys to feel manly. YOU ARE THE ONE WHO IS SCARED.
