And then to prove his idea is popular, Hewitt writes another piece on his winger radio page in which he cites toootally credible numbers ... his own listeners!

In the two days since the nationalization of GM was announced, the callers and e-mailers to my program have been 10 to 1 against the Obamaization of the American car business.

And then, Hewitt shows his "human" side...

In the effort to reverse this lurch beyond the farthest left fringe of previous Democratic statist urges, individual Americans have a role to play. They have to say no to GM products and services until such time as the denationalization occurs. This is a painful conclusion for those of us with friends still working for the company, and who had supported aggressive efforts to help the private company restructure.

But there isn't any alternative, every dollar spent with GM is a dollar spent against free enterprise. Every car or truck purchased from Government Motors is one not purchased from a private car company that competes fairly against all other car companies.

Aww... Hugh is in pain... But he's apparently just fine with buying cars subsidized by Japan, or Germany, but not those made by American car companies. An interesting argument coming from someone whom I assume purports to be a patriot. Meanwhile, Boss Limbaugh weighs in (no pun intended):

Nobody wants to support an Obama company," Rush Limbaugh told his audience Friday, citing a poll showing that 17 percent of Americans backed a boycott of GM.

... The popular, controversial Limbaugh didn't outright call for a boycott, but said he understood why people would want to avoid GM vehicles. "They don't want to patronize Obama. They don't want to do anything to make Obama's policies work."

For Limbaugh, it all comes back to wanting Obama ... and any American north of the Mason Dixon line, apparently, to fail. It's getting tired now, dear.

UPDATE: Ed Shultz just lost his cookies on MSNBC responding to Hewitt, and railing that he's taking his show on the road. He also called for a boycott of Salem Broadcasting, which runs Hewitt's tiny radio show. So ordered.

The DNC adds:

"While it's not surprising that Rush Limbaugh would root for the failure of a national institution for partisan political gain, it is surprising that the other so-called leaders of the Republican party are silently going along with him given how many hard working Americans rely on GM for a living," said DNC spokesman Hari Sevugan.

And "the people" are weighing in, too, the old fashioned way:

So far, there is little evidence that the government's involvement is turning off buyers. In bankruptcy for the entire month of May, Chrysler had its best sales month of the year.

Meanwhile, the Garlic says of Hewitt:

Let's Hope The GM Boycott Goes As Good As His Palin Book

LOL! To whit:

Steve Benen, in his "SCHADENFREUDE WATCH: HEWITT EDITION..." explains;

In 2006, a few months before the midterm elections, conservative blogger/talk-show host Hugh Hewitt published a book on the drive for a "permanent Republican majority." Soon after, Democrats won a sweeping, historic victory, and reclaimed the majority in both chambers.

In 2007, a few months before the primaries, Hewitt published a book on Mitt Romney and the prospects of a "Mormon in the White House." Soon after, Romney blew leads in Iowa and New Hampshire, and withdrew from the presidential race after a surprisingly poor showing.

In 2008, Hewitt has a new idea for a book. It's called, "How Sarah Palin Won the Election ... and Saved America." There's a small problem: no one wants to publish it ...

Well, we all know how The Wasilla Whiz Kid made out.

Oh, no wait, John Cole's is even better:

The first thing I thought when I looked at DougJ’s post about these morons organizing a boycott of GM and Chrysler was that they just spent the last three weeks incorrectly screaming that Republican Chrysler dealerships were unfairly targeted by the Obama administration for closure, so now they want to boycott them and finish off the rest of them- “Republican dealerships were unfairly targeted! Let’s kill the survivors!”

Brilliant!

I usually think it's a bad idea to call people "un-American," but in this case I'll make an exception. Hewitt and his gang, especially El Rushbo, is un-American.
