From Rush's website.
"For them to succeed, George Bush and America must fail. The economy must implode. The war must be a debacle. Citizens must be in pain. The people must be so miserable, that they beg the government to take away personal freedom and save them with huge socialist programs. Notice I say "socialist," not "communist." I talk about their playbook being "updated" or "redefined," but I stop short of what a Soviet immigrant caller said. There's no difference between liberalism and socialism, but calling them "communists" doesn't advance things."
OK, first of all, it's entirely possible that there are people out there who don't see the success of George W. Bush's agenda and the welfare of the American People as inextricably linked. It's even possible that the Democrats believe that the George W. Bush's economic plan might have a negative effect on the economy.
Secondly, look at the weaselness of the last bit. Democrats are socialists but not communists. Why not? Because "calling them "communists" doesn't advance things." So Rush isn't interested in telling the truth about Liberals, just in telling the truths that will "advance things." But, what else is new.
