And you will also likely find that Rush isn't the only one to refer to Obama's office as a "regime."
I think there is a difference between being overly sensitive and making the decision to educate people who react negatively to such conservative bias, because maybe you're getting too much feedback or too many complaints about something that's actually rather misleading or false. Of course, the same conservative bias would likely call this "reeducation."

My point is what gives these things traction, to me it is the over-reaction and the credibility earned when "legitimacy" responds to the "ludicrous". It seems some are arguing the traction is gained just because Rush says it - I disagree.
Occasionally, I admit that I respond to silliness with silliness, and I admit that it is a personality flaw and is immature. But, I do know when I am doing it, do you think Obama's team knows?
