Rush: ‘No Labels’ Group Is ‘Top-Down Effort by Irrelevant Political Hacks’

Conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh has never been one to mince words, and after Monday’s launch of the “No Labels” political group, Rush dove into the group’s intentions head-first:

    Wow, a new party of no labels, neither republican nor democrat…. that is abot 90% of politicians in washington, the last thing I need is a representative who claims to have no traditional political leanings….what that tells me is that the only question on where they will stand, will be either left or flat out communist…
    Anyone who hides behind not being aligned with traditional party lines is a progressive.

    The same old ploy by the liberals, split the vote. Liberals, progressives and unions use this same thing, time after time. And we fall for it everytime. When we open our eyes to these same tricks?

    Rush always tells it like it is. Anyone really following politics these days had to know what this group is from the get go. Just another play on semantics. PATHETIC!

    Have any of you listended to any of the attenders at the No Labels event? Everyone I heard, conservative or liberal, said they intend to remain true to their principles, but without vilifying the other side.
    It is possible to disagree with someone strongly without questioning his motives. That is the American way.

    I have been sick so hadn’t heard much about this group. I went to the website and clicked on the video link. A box came up asking for my email address with a note saying that this was required to continue listening to the video for FREE. Hmmm, no agenda?? I don’t think so.

    They didn’t have any luck with the Coffee party or the Insanity rally, which were both the same type of attempt. This isn’t a message that gets people energized. True conservatives are motivated by a cause with principles that they believe in. Liberals are motivated by the same thing (even though they are wrong) – they think redistributing wealth will help people.

      Liberals are motivated by greed. When unable to obtain what others have, liberals demand undeserved fair treatment, which isn’t fair at all.

      Continue to anger liberals by working hard to achieve success in the pursuit of happiness.

    I am totally disgusted with the Democrats right now. They are racists because they use race to get their bills passed, they are Socialists because they use the economy to divide the people into classes, they are traitors because they use their position to rewrite the constitution to suit themselves and our enemies. I dread the next 2 years. Just more of the same hate filled crap to divide the country, for their gain…something has got to give…and it ain’t gonna be me.

    In the afternoons here, Mike Smerconish is on after Glenn Beck. Upon hearing him talk about the “No Lables” group, the first thing I though of was, wow, that doesn’t sound like a progressive plot to counter the Tea Party. No, choose us, we are trying to make the two parties work together, be they democrat or republican, liberal or conservative. Since it seems that many Republicans have gone the way of the Liberal (*cough* Lugar *cough*), I can’t see the benefit of trying to hide what they are.

    And another thing that drove me bonkers about his show yesterday (I would listen to Rush except my radio at work won’t pick up that station), was that Mike believes that the Obamacare program will be seen as a success in the prism of history and that there would not be a single provider for health insurance. What he didn’t bring up was that the insurance companies will eventually quit providing coverage and close if they are required to give coverage to people who are already sick. (IE You don’t get insurance then suddenly find out that you have cancer then go to get insurance and the company is forced to cover your bills.)

      Spikebu, you actually think liberals support the American Way of Life? Is having people dependent on government the American Way of Life? Was it a Nanny state that sent American men and women west to blaze a new frontier? Was NASA once shooting for the moon instead of trying to make Muslims feel good? Is it the Market Place that decides what news or radio channels survive and fail or is it the government’s role to ‘monitor’ content of the media? Is this a Christian nation or are Christians second class citizens with limited speech in the public domain? There is a vast difference in what the liberals (progressives) want for this country and what conservatives want for this country. ‘No-label’ only means you can cloak your true agenda but I can assure you, this organization has an agenda – otherwise what’s the point?

      Consider that the real concern is with the strength, the solidarity of the group that they’re targeting.

      Liberals, as we know them are super marketers. Despite all their rhetoric of anti-big this and anti-big business that, the reality of it is they’re capitalists; they just define it all differently and play by different rules; ones they make up to ensure their side wins. What we call socialism they call . . . well, now they don’t call it anything do they?

      They’re trying to sell a product that has no label . . . You’re not supposed to know what’s inside . . . . It’s a secret . . . The work of super marketers? Perhaps . . . but it’s the same line of crap they’ve been selling for two hundred years . . . new wrapper, no label. Pelosi passed health care the same way. . . We’d have to buy it to see what’s inside, right? Obama’s 2012 reelection slush fund of billions, it’s the same thing; and it’s still sitting out there waiting while the tax payers borrow more to send him on his next vacation, after we borrow more to care for hungry kids whose parents are out of work.

      Moderates, independents, the infamous “people in the middle,” what they’re attempting to do to you is quite insane. These people are attempting to draw you back with deception, right out-in-the-open deception. Now granted, the Tea Party may seem at times not perfect for you; but then, what ever is in the beginning? We shape the things that we create, over time; things coalesce because we have one very large thing in common.

      Simply, it boils to the fact that the Tea Party was born out of people seeking the truth, just like you. But now, missing you, moderates and independents, here comes along the old gang, a group of carpet beggars and political gypsies making bids for your vulnerabilities, if you show them your trust.

      Who are you are going to side with . . . a group that respects your trust so much that it only identifies itself with the common language of truths? Or a group that attempts to win you over with no label, no identity . . . only the common language of deceptions?

      And then let’s not forget that one very significant attribute that we share; an attribue these people with their new wrappers have proven not capable of having or desiring. We share a vision, a mission so to speak. Our coalition strives for the United States of America to thrive and to grow economically and socially, and to continue to mature as a beacon of freedom to the rest of the world, to serve it under an umbrella of liberty-loving like-mindedness. It is not racist nor knows bias; it exists to serve mankind, the preservation of our Constitution: And we openly call ourselves The Tea Party.

      Rush is right, look who speaks at their events,” I’m NOT running for preseident,” Bloomberg, Gillibrand, among others, this is no weak crowd…“No Labels” embodies a core tactic of grabbng power…if it doesn’t have a name, there is no need to defend itself, which is such a time waster. Conversely, once naming a suspect, it gives focus to a case helping to solve it. And here you “trust,” them, because they want “whatever,” you want. Remember how all the Acorn offices really didn’t go away ? they just renamed them thousands of new names to better confuse you. This is also like the COEXIST bumper sticker, that picks up the nonaffiliated thinkers/voters like loose change and a vacuum in your sofa….easy easy easy.

      Here’s the problem that Rush accurately pointed out – this group is targeting voters who are both arrogant and ignorant, and there are plenty of them out there to target. They‘re going after people who think they’re open-minded, but who, in actuality, are simply empty-minded. There’s a hell of a big difference between the two, yet each of these morons’ votes bears the same weight as yours or mine. It’s why we need to rely upon strength of numbers, which thankfully, we have.
