The Democratic National Committee has joined the administration’s campaign against talk-host Rush Limbaugh, proposing to place an anti-Limbaugh billboard message “in Rush Limbaugh's hometown of West Palm Beach, Fla.”
The DNC placed a banner on its homepage inviting visitors to participate in a contest to determine what message of 10 words or less will be placed on the billboard. After visitors complete a form and submit their entry, they are also invited to make a contribution to the DNC.
The Web site declares: “We'll go through all of the slogans you submit, and the winner will have his or her submission appear on a billboard in Rush Limbaugh's hometown of West Palm Beach, Florida -- and receive a free T-shirt featuring the winning slogan.”
On his Thursday program, Limbaugh pointed out that West Palm Beach is not his residence – he lives in nearby Palm Beach, Fla., where billboards violate city ordinances.
Limbaugh invited his listeners to log onto the DNC site and submit a laudatory message, rather than a critical one.
“First I want to make sure they’re spending their own money on this” rather than money from the fiscal stimulus bill, Limbaugh quipped.

Don't be fooled... Rahm Emanuel, Peggy Pelosi, want you to focus on Rush Limbaugh instead of the almost 20 trillion... that is right 20 trillion with a "T" that has been spent, allocated and promised in bailout, budget and stimulus money in the past few months. Don't let them take you off focus~ Don't be fooled into becoming a Lemming worrying about Limbaugh by the administration and Pelosi's Henchmen. They are the problem, not Limbaugh~! Below is an excerp from Free Republic... We are being played my friends!!
Barack Obama's push: Make Rush Limbaugh appear to be the face of the GOP
Chicago Tribune ^ | 3-2-09 | Peter Nicholas
he Obama White House has begun advancing an aggressive political strategy: convincing the country that the real power behind the Republican Party is not the GOP leaders in Congress or at the Republican National Committee, but rather provocative radio talk show king Rush Limbaugh.
President Barack Obama, top presidential aides and outside Democratic allies have been pushing the message in unison.

With the White House working to make Limbaugh the face of the GOP, it is getting some outside assistance.
A tax-exempt group that supports progressive causes — Americans United for Change—is helping finance a television ad that claims GOP leaders are beholden to the radio host. The ad closes with Limbaugh saying of Obama, "I want him to fail."
*snip*
Brad Woodhouse, president of Americans United for Change, said the group has discussed the ad campaign with the Democratic National Committee. Woodhouse is joining the DNC next week as its communications director.
Asked whether the White House was notified about the ad, Woodhouse said: "They certainly are aware—I'm sure they're aware of what we're doing."
