Rush Limbaugh Declares War On Frank Luntz’s Attempt To Replace ‘Capitalism’ With ‘Economic Freedom’
At a meeting of the Republican Governor’s Association this week, pollster and strategist Frank Luntz made a bold admission: that he was “frightened to death” of Occupy Wall Street, and suggested their influence had made the term “capitalism” toxic and it should be replaced with “economic freedom.” One person not content to follow those instructions? Rush Limbaugh, who chastised Luntz for “dumb[ing] down” the conservative message for a movement that was “about disbanded.”

“He is trying to get the word ‘capitalism’ removed from the conservative Republican lexicon,” Limbaugh explained, over Occupy Wall Street. “What is there to be afraid of?” he asked, noting that the movement, in his opinion, had mostly been dissipated. He argued against the idea that “we dumb down ourselves in order to not offend the uninformed, ill-informed, mal-informed… the people who think the Occupy people are making sense.” “Talk about snatching defeat from the jaws of victory,” he scoffed.
Later on in the program, Limbaugh went after Luntz yet again, arguing that his claim that the word “capitalism” could no longer be used implied that capitalism was responsible for the current state of the economy. “What has been gong on in this country since 2008 is not capitalism,” he concluded. “It is not responsible for all this unemployment and economic degradation.”
