...has been put on display in the inane, obviously pretextual attacks on Rush Limbaugh mounted by MoveOn.org and the Senate Democrats following its script. Michelle Malkin calls the production The Crush Rush Democrats' Agenda. Michelle writes:

These people are fighting dirty. They are focused. They are unhinged.

Watch from the sidelines or get your head in the game.

Minnesota's own Senator Amy Klobuchar is among the Senate's 41 Crush Rush Democrats. Senator Klobuchar and her Democratic allies in the Senate treat the American people as fools. Brian Maloney provides an optimistic interpretation of the course of events. Andrew McCarthy provides the necessary context. What a complete and utter farce.

UPDATE: Reader Timothy O'Reilly writes:

Perhaps Republicans ought to take a page out of the Clinton playbook. When asked about the MoveOn.org, Bill Clinton aggressively went on the attack charging hypocrisy on the basis of the Swift Boat and Max Cleland ads -- and this appeared to coordinate with Barbara Boxer's "alternative" to the condemnation of MoveOn.org.

Well, why don't Republicans do the same thing? What about the free pass Democrats have given to Murtha for accusing troops of killing in "cold blood" or Kerry for accusing troops of "terrorizing" women and children, or for his "botched joke"? I'm sure there are plenty more examples, and I'm sure Democrats don't want the public to be reminded about any of these.

Not sure if you caught this, but while I was working out this morning I noticed that the “Today Show” was covering the Democrats vs. Rush farce. I couldn’t hear the story, but the text on screen during the piece read something along the lines of: “Democrats vs. Limbaugh — who is more unpatriotic?”

Talk about an unintentional assist!

Michelle elaborates on the MoveOn campaign in "Muzzled by MoveOn." Hugh Hewitt calls it "the left's great snarl." Hugh writes:

Americans have again seen a close-up of The Great Snarl that the MoveOn.org Democrats have become. It is a disturbing thing, this collection of hard-left activists, vulgar and profane bloggers, captive Senators and know-nothing MSMers, and the more it is on display the more it becomes one big blob of seething hate, from the Code Pinkers to Tom Harkin, Media Matters and the HuffPo express.
