CNN: Rush Apology Orgy (Featuring Jon Stewart, Cenk, Headzup, Letterman, Jimmy Fallon & More)

On March 4, 2009 CNN aired a package on the discussion about Rush Limbaugh and his role in the Republican party:

NOTE: This isn't a youtube clip, it's from the CNN website. Otherwise I would've posted it in the video section.

4. Since I never go to CNN videos, I'm not sure if this link will continue to go to the right video.

Won't it eventually change to a more recent one?

2. This move was played well- I have yet to see the "backfire" this was supposed to cause.

So far, nothing but negative press for the GOP on this one...

3. Someone at CNN is a TYT fan.

Seriously though, repubs are getting eaten alive over this. Great clip!

17. Maybe.

I think their credibility went up dramatically after being written up in the L.A. Times, SF Chronicle, Politico, etc.

18. I saw that last week.

The thing is, AOL is insanely conservative. Or at least the majority of the people who still use it are.

10. He looks like an overfed, overindulged toddler who has been

dropped on his head too many times.

19. Have to mention again that this happens repeatedly, not just with Rush. Remember

Voinovich crying during a committee meeting over the recess appointment of Bolton to the UN? He was fearful for the world, worried about what would happen if this guy were in control again at the UN. It only took a few days before he voted for the guy.

The RW is about obedience, loyalty, ideological purity, us vs them, etc. They are the reason why congress doesn't work....you have the guys on the other side of the aisle shutting down facts, knowledge, reason and voting as they are told instead. Congress was made assuming that people will think and vote on the merits, not as a block of robots.
