Watching the Republicans be the Chicken Littles six weeks into a Democratic presidency when eight years of a disastrous Republican administration caused them no concern is freaking delicious.
I think some would be happier just going in the underground bunker, sealing the door, and listening to Rush Limbaugh while they await the end of the world.

Good lord, the GOP is bowing and scraping to Rush Limbaugh.

Your take is misguided, liberal rhetoric. Limbaugh is NOT a politician and as such isn't bound by the political correctness that politicians are. Unlike his liberal brethren, his show is extremely popular and tremendously successful. It wouldn't be either if his listeners weren't on board with much of what he says. While he often baits and makes outrageous statements as it is his JOB to stir the pot, a lot of what he says not only is true but appeals to a large majority of the conservative population in this country. The same conservative population that the GOP failed get to show up in the last election. It would be foolish for the GOP to ignore the power that Limbaugh has among the conservative base and not to utilize him or simply deal with him despite his penchant for bombast.

Despite the disdain that the left and congressional liberals show for Limbaugh, they do truly fear his message as shown by the Fairness Doctrine, the future fairness doctrines that will surely come disguised as something else and the current Presidents and Democratic leaders obsession with him.

Jesus, dont you read the papers? Fairness is the freakin standard that they base all their policy on. You know it isnt fair that some people dont get bonuses so they will take those away. it isnt fair that some people dont have health insurance so we will fix that. It isnt fair that rich people have and other dont so we will fix that. it isnt fair that business owners make money and the employees dont make as much so we will fix that. We arent treating the detainees at Guantanamo fairly, etc......

the dems obsession with rush is tactical. he appeals to a sliver of the american public that would rather be "right" than electable.

and every time another republican has to kiss his ass is just one more day they won't have solved the problem of being out of power. dems will continue to point out how outrageous his opinion's are a simple reason. it helps drive a wedge between republican's and the majority of voting american's.

you guys are like dems after the 1980 election. telling yourself the problem was a lack of motivation in the base of a party that only has a shrinking 28% of the registered voter's nationwide is deluded. buy hey, if that's your solution i won't argue.

For a guy that only has a sliver of the American public he seems to have all you clueless lefties worried. His opinions arent really that outrageous. If they were the Democrats wouldnt obsess so much over him.

You dont matter. Your messiah is worried or he wouldn't spend so much time referring and debating him. I will say once again, why do the Democrats spend so much time and effort on trying to discredit Limbaugh if he is viewed as a marginalized voice? Perhaps they prefer to make Rush the story as opposed to the actual issues, kind of like most of the liberals here, yourself included.

i don't think obama or any other democrat is worried. they're watching the republicans implode and doing everything they can to facilitate the process. putting rush front and center accomplishes that.

you'd do the same thing in our position. it's just good politics.

you guys are so used to an echo chamber where the only opinions you hear are your own you actually think the majority thinks the same. that's fine with me.

i don't mind if your side thinks they've won a debate so long as my side wins the election.

No, my take is from me watching every GOP bigwig that has criticized Rush in public within the past month roll over within 24 hours of their transgression to kiss his azz and beg forgiveness.

That is probably not a bad thing. Pandering to the national media and political correctness isnt going to help them. If you hadnt noticed radicalism is in favor now. Might as well take a stand now.
