The latest in the Limbaugh-Steele feud by Gil Smart.

This is the email I received today:
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.

If Republican leaders aren't willing to tell Rush, then we will. Americans want President Obama to succeed. Our country's future depends on it. Rooting for the President's failure is rooting for our country to fail.

To get America back on a path to prosperity, we'll need to leave behind the failed partisan attack politics of the past. Americans voted for a new direction in November. Choosing Rush Limbaugh to be the voice of their party -- as Republican leaders have done -- is not the answer.

Send in your suggestion of ten words or less for a billboard and we'll choose the best one to put in Rush's own "backyard":

Question for the DNC -- are you friggin nuts? Why give Rush all of this attention? Rush loves nothing better than for the Dems to get down in the mud with him, giving him opportunity and free national exposure & coverage. Do you realize that you are just increasing his overall $$ value in terms of his show & sponsors, you are just playing into his hands (or should I say wallet)? This is a stupid idea and makes me question the leadership of the DNC for making such a childish gesture.

I have this saying posted in my office:
Never argue with an idiot. He will take you down to his level, then beat you up with experience. :silly:

RUCK FUSH
is my choice

Make the partisan divide in this country Limbaugh's Republicans vs. Obama's Democrats. This isn't 1994 anymore, people are tired of Rush and they overwhelmingly disapprove of pretty much everything he says. The mroe people pay attention to Rush imbaugh, the more bigoted and passe the Republican Party looks. Rush is making it uncool to be a Republican, and we should do everything we can to help.

Shouldn't that be Heil?

Hehe. I thought Heil would be too strong. But then again I should think about where I'm posting this. ;) Much different environment than our newspaper's Web site.
