DNC to Limbaugh: Go ahead, send us your dittoheads

[RamboLiberal]

Source: USA Today

Conservative radio giant Rush Limbaugh yesterday issued new "orders from headquarters" to his millions of faithful listeners:

Go to the platform meetings that the Democratic Party says it will hold around the country as it seeks input from "ordinary people" on what should be in party's official policy platform.

-----

And the Democratic National Committee says come on in. It has issued this statement from Michael Yaki, the party's National Platform Director:

"We'd like to thank Rush Limbaugh for publicizing the 'Listening to America' events and extend an open invitation to him and his listeners to attend. The Democratic Party is not afraid to listen to the wide array of views the American people have on the issues they care about -- that is what makes our nation strong. People across the country -- of all political persuasions -– are tired of business as usual in Washington and people like Limbaugh who are more concerned with scoring political points than changing the direction of our country. Unlike John McCain and the Republican Party, Barack Obama and the Democratic National Committee are encouraging Americans across the country to get involved and make their voices heard.

"If Limbaugh's dittoheads want to join other Americans, united in their belief that their voices should be heard in Washington, talking about their hopes, dreams, and concerns in their living rooms, community centers, and churches, and reporting back on these discussions to the Platform Drafting Committee, then they're welcome to join one of the 655 events in 47 states organized in just 24 hours."

1. Good one! Kudos to Mr. Yaki!! nt

[groovedaddy]

2. Sounds like Rush is popp'n pills again! n.t

[Dollface]

3. Maybe if they hear intelligent discourse the evil spell can be broken. Let the soul saving begin.

[central scrutinizer]

17. What was he thinking?

Does he really want his lemmings to hear another viewpoint? That doesn't sound like him.

[Dollface]

30. His ego is just that big (kinda like his ass). Maybe its the drugs.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

4. Great Response

Does Rush think that people aren't going to notice a sudden infusion of "dittoheads" to the DNC platform meetings?

[Redstone]

5. Oh, yes indeed. Finally some guts exhibited by the Democratic Party. This is

definitely encouraging; thanks for posting it.

19. I'm seeing a LOT of this immediate response to RW attacks/challenges!

And I'm sensing that Obama is behind this new attitude. Blowhards like Limbag have been playing their intimidation games for far too long. It's about time that someone calls their bluff!

GO OBAMA GO!

6. Just cut&pasted this into an email for my Ditto-head brother!

Told him he has an open invitation from the Democratic Party!

[pinto]

7. LOL. Touché.

:kick:

8. Great response by the DNC! - n/t

[truthisfreedom]

9. I guess that new contract went to his head.

[flakey_foont]

10. any truth to the rumors?

floating around the Internets that Mr. Limbaugh is a pill-popping pedophile??????

just askin

[daa]

11. I heard that too

but I don't know if it is true or not. I know he can't keep a woman, or 3 women even with someone else's viagra.

[nxylas]

12. What makes you think he wants to keep them?

I'm sure he regards his beards as eminently dispensible. The Viagra isn't for them.

[VWolf]

13. So far, I haven't heard any denials

that Rush Limbaugh is a hardcore drug-addict pedophile.

Does that mean it's true?

[Nevernose]

14. He has denied it, IIRC

Which in my mind just proves that he's a hardcore drug-addicted pedophile. That's what hardcore drug-addicted pedophiles ALWAYS do: deny, deny, deny. The only thing more incriminating is when hardcore junkie child-rapists DON'T deny being pill-popping predators.

This is America, so of course he's innocent until proven guilty. But where there's smoke, there's fire, right?

[Jackpine Radical]

15. I don't know about that. I did hear something about him

being a sex tourist and smuggling Viagra, but I don't think he's an oxycontin addict any more because he said he gave that up. I haven't heard him saying he gave up the pedophilia and viagra smuggling, though, so maybe that's still true. I know I'd sleep better if he just came out and denied that stuff.

[kdpeters]

26. Lots of creepy, old wealthy men vacation alone in dirt-poor 3rd world sex trade nations

with pockets full of someone else's hard-on pills. Just because a guy frequently vacations alone in Cambodia for reasons unclear doesn't mean he's patronizing their notorious brothels for kidnapped prepubescent sex slaves that cater to western sex tourists.

[JNelson6563]

16. Only 7 recs, shameful

Why is it that here on DU posts like this get few recs yet whining, bitching and lamenting about Dems are wildly popular and sometimes rack up over 100 recs...

Me thinks platform discussion ain't all the ditto-heads get their filthy little fingers into.

18. God, I love smart people.

lolol

[sudopod]

20. Kick n Rec

IT'S A TRAP, lol.

[beac]

21. Thanks for sending all those new Dem voters our way, Rush!

(Because I firmly believe that many of those dittoheads WILL have their eyes OPENED at last by attending these meetings... and the ones that don't will be easily recognized as the pitiful sheeple they are and their attempts to disrupt will be futile.)

[bow-tie]

22. They're ready to go

23. Limbaugh supporters want over-the-counter OxyContin and more child sex tourism on the platform!

You know...

This is a GREAT opportunity for "ordinary people" pretending to be LimBots.

[LynneSin]

24. I would be fucking embarrassed to be called a "dittohead" and be a part of this cult

First, to me a "Dittohead" pretty much means I don't have a thought of my own and I'll just do whatever someone else says - aka "DITTO". Second, is Rush on fricking drugs again? He's not sounding like a talk show host but some sort of delusional 'Jim Jones' cult leader. How soon til Rush tells his listen to wear old-school Nike Sneakers and drink the Grape Kool-Aid?

Personally, if I host a party and perhaps I will. I would more than welcome to bring a 'Dittohead' to my party. I mean any good host or hostess should have entertainment for her guest and what better amusement than a brain dead clown making a fool for the guests?

[Mrs. Overall]

25. A refreshing bit of news! K&R.

[ms liberty]

27. Now that's the way to do it. K&R n/t

[Doctor_J]

28. I wish Yaki would refer to them as Limbeciles or Didiots however

time for the debate to be discussed in our language

[Mad_Dem_X]

29. Excellent response

This could backfire on Limburger big time.

[Quantess]

31. Director Michael Yaki has class.

Rush and his fans don't know what it is.
