Shhhhh. Maybe if your audience does not tell the bums on welfare when the election is, it will have some kind of difference.
"Rush Limbaugh is calling on his listeners to keep the election date a secret from the poorest Americans.
"Ninety-nine days, folks," the conservative radio host announced on Monday. "Ninety-nine days before the election. If you are a welfare recipient, that's just a little more than three checks."
"Maybe we shouldn't remind people," he added after thinking about it. "We shouldn't remind people on welfare when the election is. That may not be something we want to actually do."
Well, now that we know rush does not have the kind of audience he claims, and advertisers are dropping him like a hot plate of fat, does anything he tells his followers to do relevent? Especially when this particular dirty trick has been in play for at least 12 years? Or maybe I just imagined all the stories about robo-calls reminding people to vote on the day after the election, or signs put up anonymously with the same advice. Or the signs that scolded people to pay all their parking tickets before voting or the cops would take their children away, etc., etc.
I know we shouldn't worry about what this bloviating pile of monkey guts has to say anymore and that this was simply a throwaway line, but what does it say that the "leader of the republican party" is this far behind the times? He makes it sound like some kind of original idea he had.
