Just like a lot of things lately, it appears as though the "if we say it and print it enough it will become true" school of thought failed here.
Yes. I find it amusing how many conservatives are quick to call Obama a "messiah" or someone they think people just blindly follow. While at the same time marching lock step with Rush's views and, "Rush is Right" bull s**t! Crazy world.
Rush is a blubbering, babbling, non-entertaining entertainer. For some historical perspective, check out my piece where I draw the apt (and almost eerily frightening) parallel between him and now-forgotten 1930's radio fascist, Father Coughlin, who viciously opposed FDR during another period of US crisis (AND who, BTW, easily attracted at least DOUBLE LImbaugh's radio audience...back when the USA was merely one-third as populous as it is today...):<a class="user" href="http://digg.com/politics/Rush_Limbaugh_Meet_Your_Decades_Ago_Twin_n_Father_Coughlin" rel="nofollow">http://digg.com/politics/Rush_Limbaugh_Meet_Your_D ...</a>
