Limbaugh supports dining room table

Right-wingers whom I know keep saying the trouble with the healthcare furore is that the rest of us should grow up and stop with the name-calling and discourteously unsettling identification of dangerous fruitbats, and instead make efforts -- as, although they mysteriously fail to mention this, the President has been doing since January -- to establish a dialogue.
Hm.
Further to my post here, Rush Limbaugh responded to Barney Frank on his radio show:
I think it's fabulous and fantastic, and hilarious that a woman shows up at a Barney Frank town hall meeting with an Obama-as-Hitler poster and this Nazi stuff, in his district. I mean, this is unreal.
But the killer for me was, here's Barney Frank saying, "What planet do you live on?" to this woman. Isn't it an established fact that Barney Frank himself spends of his time living around Uranus?
Wow. Two varieties of hate speech -- anti-Semitism and homophobia -- for the price of one! Quickly, establish a dialogue with that, someone.
(Incidentally, the other day Limbaugh described Nancy Pelosi as "deranged" because she said fruitbats were turning up at these town hall meetings with swastikas and other Nazi paraphernalia. It seems the fat man's memory is short.)

Precisely. A few weeks ago, Obama observed pointedly to some media hack who'd been questioning his temerity in rocking the boat a teensy bit that the Dems had, let us not forget, won the election. I wish Obama would repeat this often, and a lot more loudly, so that not just the media but his own party would get it into their heads.
