FOX News:
The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee has launched an online petition to express outrage at conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh for saying he wanted President Obama to "fail."
"Jobs, health care, our place in the world -- the stakes for our nation are high and every American needs President Obama to succeed," the petition reads. "Stand strong against Rush Limbaugh's Attacks -- sign our petition, telling Rush what you think of his attacks on President Obama."
The petition comes after Obama warned Republicans on Capitol Hill Friday that they need to quit listening to Limbaugh if they want to get along with Democrats and the new administration.
"You can't just listen to Rush Limbaugh and get things done," he told top GOP leaders, whom he had invited to the White House to discuss his nearly $1 trillion stimulus package.
One White House official confirmed the comment but said he was simply trying to make a larger point about bipartisan efforts.
On Monday, Limbaugh shot back at Obama, opening his show by saying, "I'm the man you should not be listening, according to President Obama."
"I think [Obama] wants me to fail," Limbaugh said. "He's more frightened of me than he is of John Boehner, which doesn't say much for our party."
The remarks came after Limbaugh said last week on his radio show: "If I wanted Obama to succeed, I'd be happy the Republicans have laid down. I don't want this to work. So I'm thinking of replying to this guy, say 'okay, I'll send you a response, but I don't need 400 words, I need four: I hope he fails'."
The committee's online petition includes a YouTube video featuring audio clips of the radio host's recent remarks.
Its funny, when the democrats/liberals insulted and disrespected President Bush in front of the eyes of the world, and did everything in their power to sabotage the war effort in Iraq, and trashed all the Bush polices in order to protect America against terrorism... That was alright, that was good thing. It was patriotic.
But little AM radio host Limbaugh hoping that B.O.'s socialist polices fail is a act of treason. Did anyone ever hear Bush tell America, or anyone for that matter not to listen to Chris Matthew, Jon Stewart, Franken, or Keith Oblermann by name?
Update:
Seattle Times Jan 09, 2001 headline:
Democrats begin waiting for George W. Bush to fail
This goes back to my point, liberals have no standards, no shame, no brains, they act like the Communist Party thugs I had the displeasure to interact with for 26 years in my old country.
Nice.

It seems to me that the Dems are afraid that Rush will rally the opposition. After all, leftists are extremely insecure creatures, that insecurity never stopping them from trying to cram leftism down our throats.
