"An Open Letter from a Democrat to
Rush Limbaugh and his listeners"

It might surprise readers of this blog that I used to be a registered Democrat; in fact, I voted for Bill Clinton--twice. There's a fascinating open letter on the website HillBuzz from a lifelong Democrat, the editor-in-chief of HillBuzz.org, who speaks of the Civil War in the Democrat ranks that's been raging since May 31st 2008, when "scores of . . . Obama flunkies took off their masks and revealed the full extent of the Leftist coup that had taken over the party. This was the day when the DNC took delegates Hillary Clinton won in Michigan away from her and handed them to Obama." Kevin DuJan, the writer of this letter, tells of millions of alienated Democrats who are mad as hell and determined to "expose the party and literally burn it to the ground for the good of the country." Who knew? Because of course, as the writer of the letter says, none of this is being reported by the lapdog Obama Leftist media.

"[W]e former Democrats saw just how insane these people [Obama supporters] really are and we are now doing everything we can, behind the scenes, to use everything we know about the Democrat Party to collapse it from within." Wow. This guy says that these former Dems who are out to destroy their (former) party are "America-loving, middleclass, Jacksonian/Clintonian Democrats" who want nothing to do with what's going on now in Obama's Democrat party. "It's crystal clear that being a patriotic American who loves this country is intellectually incompatible with being a Democrat. If you love America and want it to prosper, the Democrat Party is at absolute odds with everything we need for a thriving, successful economy."

This is a long letter, but it's worth reading all the way to the end. The part that really does my heart good is where the guy goes into his rant against ANYONE who voted for ObamaCare: "we are truly committed to making sure the Claire McCaskills out there get everything that is coming to them for all their service to Obama and his agenda. Hear that, Ben Nelson . . . voters will be coming for you. You and everyone like you. Every last one of you. If you voted for Obamacare, you are politically dead but may not know it . . . and it is your own fault. Being intensely stupid is no defense. If you were a YES on anything related to Obamacare you are going to be defeated . . . if not in 2010, then in the primaries in 2012. If you survive those, you will be taken down in the 2012 general election. Your political career is over . . . dummy."

Update. So Rush Limbaugh saw the letter to him, and he replied on his radio show yesterday. The transcript is here on his website. Here's a little bit of what Limbaugh said yesterday:

"[T]heir open letter to me is for me to understand what they think the media is ignoring and what a lot of people know and ignore. There are basically two things going on: There are scandals brewing and have been brewing in the Obama administration that the Republicans are gonna zero in on after they win next Tuesday or sworn in in January, and that the Democrat Party at large needs to be brought down--and it is--because there are Democrats in droves leaving the party. . . . I mean, we remember Ronald Reagan was a proud Democrat once. He said the party left him. Bill Bennett was a proud Democrat once. They're called 'neocons' now. A lot of them were Democrats at one point."
