Make the text color transparent but add a shadow:

.blur {
   color: transparent;
   text-shadow: 0 0 5px rgba(0,0,0,0.5);
}

Blurry

More browsers support color than text-shadow though, so you might want to do feature detection. Or, leave the color property and do enough shadowing that it appears blurry anyway (demo).
