The American Spectator : The Plot to Get Rush

Bill Hussein O'Stalin| 3.27.12 @ 7:18AM

Thanks for another great article.

Jack in Wi.| 3.27.12 @ 9:20AM

I think Limbaugh, Hannity, Sarah Palin and all the rest have been in the end not sucessful. They have pushed all the wars we are stuck in now. The only one who ever had anyone near the fighting was Sarh Palin with her son. I used to be a big fan of most of these people until I figured things out for myself. The movement would be in a lot better shape if it was not full of braindead robots waiting to hear what Rush tells them to think. Do your own thinking. Can it hurt? They have neutered Rush anyhow?

jothepro| 3.27.12 @ 10:00AM

Hey Jack, Maybe you should be moving away from all the leftest noise you hear from your fellow asses in the peoples republic of Wi. From your previous posts, it is clear that you have a problem with successful people. Rush is not successful? Hannity and Palin are not successful? I doubt that you ever listened to Rush because the things you post about him are as false as the pimple on your nose..

Vox populi| 3.27.12 @ 12:04PM

Jo, that is a horrible libel on your part! The pimple on his nose is genuine. So is the pus dripping from it that he dips his pen in. It's everything else about him that's false.

Purp| 3.27.12 @ 12:59PM

Ronald Reagan built the party up ... Rush, Hannity, Palin have dismantled the party. They made a ton of money, but how do you measure success? They failed and are still at it. War on Women was coined based on Rush's BIG MOUTH. How else could a Democrat win?

Oldefarte| 3.27.12 @ 2:13PM

Go away, PIMPLEARS!!!!!!!!

Brian Mc| 3.27.12 @ 2:29PM

What I want to know is, how did a fight for a limited government harnessed to the Constitution become a "war on women"?

Purp| 3.27.12 @ 6:16PM

Government forced medically unnecessary vaginal probes, forced medically unnecessary ultrasounds, reporting of reproductive history to employers (VA, TN, UT, FL, KS, TX, PA) - none of which is for improving women's healthcare - Which of these is "limited government" please? Please advise ...

The Bruce| 3.27.12 @ 7:02PM

Limited government is a reference to the Federal Government, not the States.

truebluepatriot| 3.27.12 @ 10:44PM

HELLO What in the heck do they think they're going to do to a woman who has an ABORTION!!!!! Think they're going to suck the baby out through her bellybutton?
Duh-uh

Aoborn| 3.29.12 @ 12:09AM

Contrary to what you seem to think HIPAA is still the law of the land and women do not have to share any of the health information with any employer.
This is a federal law and the states cannot make a law that overrules it. Not at this point. This that you speak of must have something to do with abortion.

Alan Brooks| 3.27.12 @ 9:39PM

Ronald Reagan built the party up ... Rush, "Hannity, Palin have dismantled the party. They made a ton of money, but how do you measure success? They failed and are still at it. War on Women was coined based on Rush's BIG MOUTH. How else could a Democrat win?"

'Feminazi' is a pretty ugly thing to say, even if it is a reference to only a few women. I thought Rush was more of a gent.

Alan Brooks| 3.27.12 @ 9:41PM

Rush isn't an asshole but he says some really asshole-ish things.

Soljerblue| 3.30.12 @ 2:08AM

I would say that when it comes to asshole-ish things, the likes of Bill Maher, Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, Maxine Waters, Spike Lee, the NBPP,
Schultz, Maddow, Olberman, Franken, and a host of other "compassionate" left wing haters make Rush a piker. Not to mention that a great deal of what he says about the "enemy" is the flat-out truth.

Junius| 3.28.12 @ 6:50PM

"ugly thing to say?" I'd say it's a pretty accurate description of those in the "feminist" movement who use NAZI type tactics.

vladdy| 3.27.12 @ 10:04PM

Most people realize that a party that cozies up to the muslim brotherhood is not exactly their champion in a phony, election-year "war on women.:

Brad Fregger | 3.28.12 @ 11:38AM

Tell me Comrade Purp is this part of the war on women:

"While Democratic femme-a-gogues continue their plaintive wailing about a "war on women," Kleefisch has battled vile misogyny from liberal detractors. When lefty Wisconsin radio host John "Sly" Sylvester accused Kleefisch of performing "fellatio on all the talk-show hosts in Milwaukee" and sneered that she had "pulled a train" (a crude phrase for gang sex), feminists remained silent. A former television anchor, small businesswoman and mother of two, Kleefisch's quiet work on economic development has reaped untold dividends for the state."

Where is your sense of fairness? ... have you lost your way?

Purp| 3.28.12 @ 2:34PM

First of all - that is disgusting language coming from a right or a left radio host. I don't support, I condemn that kind of language. And, yes, that guy is definitely due a slap down, regardless of his political affiliation. I don't know the man nor the woman he spoke about, so I am neutral on what her work does or who he is.
But, just as Rush's language is reprehensible, so is his.
The left however, is not passing 1100 laws at last count to rescind a woman's healthcare rights. The right is, so no, this John Sylvester is not part of the war on women, but he is a jerk and should apologize or be removed - just as is the case for Rush. The damage is done, and the owners of the stations and the people in charge better act or they will continue to lose if they support either of these 2 awful radio hosts.

Anna Keppa| 3.28.12 @ 9:33PM

Rush apologized for far less incendiary and offensive remarks than Sylvester's. Did Sylvester?

As for radio stations continuing to lose support --- you don't keep up, do you....Limbaugh's stations are doing just fine, and new advertisers are joining Limbaugh every day.

Face it: you're just another "concern troll".

Mike| 3.27.12 @ 4:46PM

Jack,
I agree; I have listened to Rush for many years. Rush is entertaining in an Archie Bunker kind of way. A load mouth bigot. The problem is some people take to heart what he says.
Rush will be around for a long time because some people love being incited.

beebop2| 3.27.12 @ 8:58PM

Mike? You're a stooge.

I had never listened to Rush until last January when I was riding for several days learning a new job. My boss listens. I found myself initially sniffing to myself that I was TOO DAMN SMART to listen to Rush Limbaugh, only to discover (by the end of the third day) that he is not only very intelligent and astute, but also has his fingers on the pulse of the REAL AMERICA so those little twits from MMFA will be long since gone and Rush will be increasing his listener base.

I will say this about the people at Media Matters -- they are doing a find job of destroying the democrat party.

vladdy| 3.27.12 @ 10:07PM

Examples of bigotry, please? Must be his nasty treatment of Snerdly.

Larry| 3.29.12 @ 3:49AM

Jack, I am frankly tired of your libertarian quasi-liberal baloney, and if you value your right to spout off like an idiot on this blog you will shut up about Limbaugh, Hannity, Palin, and others and will start fighting to eliminate Barack the Usurper and his leftist buddies from the political scene. I would start with RICO against these folks, using the U.S. Mail and other interstate means of communication to commit extortion and business and terroristic threats.

Stop being a jackass and defend their free speech rights. Because if you don't, yours are next for the attack.

Vern Crisler| 3.27.12 @ 11:34AM

I think the article is somewhat paranoid. Lord is ascribing to leftists more power than they have.

Beck's problem was not leftists. He shot himself in the foot by indulging in conspiracy theories, not to mention his Mormonism. Even conservatives were growing tired of him.

Rush's problem was also self-inflicted. He should never have apologized to anyone. Leftists take apologies as a sign of weakness. The object is to smash leftists into the ground (politically), not feed their sense of self-importance. Leftists need to be fought tooth and nail all the way until they are silenced. That's the only thing they understand.

Rush will survive because he's entertaining, funny, and informative. This is a ratings game after all, and that's what people care about. Remember, some of those advertisers who made a show of leaving Rush begged to come back once the silliness of the whole episode was easy to see.

So, don't worry about Rush. He will be around long after the braying dogs and jackals of the left have gone to that great commune down below.

DG in GA| 3.27.12 @ 3:00PM

Vern you are absolutely correct that this is a ratings game. Rush understand that. He says repeatedly that he is an ENTERTAINER first and foremost, and nobody takes Rush less seriously that he does himself. The people who seem to take him the MOST seriously? Liberals who don't listen to his show.

Rush, Beck, et al, understand that advertising is driven by ratings. The left has been successful in driving SOME people (Dr. Laura, comes to mind) off the airwaves, but those people had waning viewers/listeners to begin with. I have a friend who is in charge of advertising for a radio station in a mid-sized market. She says the money they make in ad revenues for Rush's show covers their expenses for ALL of their broadcasting. So the money they make on all the other shows is profit. They would be cutting their throats if they pulled Rush's show from their lineup, and they know it. She said they have a WAITING LIST of advertisers who want time during Rush's show. So if one advertiser drops out due to liberal intimidation, there are lots of others waiting to take that slot. Rush knows that. If Hannity, et al are less secure, I guess they just have to produce a better show. I would be too worried though. Beck went out on his own and says he's doing better now than he ever was.

Vern Crisler| 3.27.12 @ 3:18PM

Agreed. If I were wanting to advertise something, Rush would be the advertising pot at the end of the rainbow.

KM| 3.27.12 @ 5:24PM

Rush should ONLY have apologized for saying she was a and EXPENSIVE slut... most women pay $9.95 a month for contraceptives... So what she needed the other money for brings up a WHOLE OTHER DEBATE!
I know everyone that I'm associated with made it a POINT to begin to buy products that Rush had on his program after this blow up... because we knew the LEFT/MEDIA MATTERS was behind the BOYCOTT...
We just have to get the DOG (Obama) that wags the TAIL (the Left) out of the White House.. We can't afford of 4 more years of this SOCIALIST crap!

Osamas Pajamas| 3.30.12 @ 3:54AM

Isn't Carbonite almost out of business, now? Good! It was run by some left-wing dingling! And probably hijacking copies of all of Rush's correspondence and anything else of interest on his hard drives.

Timothy L. Pennell| 3.27.12 @ 12:04PM

I don't see the problem, if we win in November. If we don't, the Radio Talk Shows that we all love, will be the LEAST of our problems, or didn't you hear the Muslim's chat with Medvedev?

He aims to Sell Us Out.

"And I saw the BEAST rise from the Sea. And he was given a MOUTH, to speak Haughty and Blasphemous words. And he was allowed to exercise Authority for forty two Months." Revelation 13-5.

It's like the nose on your face. Everyone he's ever been associated with, is EVIL. They Hate our Freedom. They Abhor our Liberty. And, they DESPISE this Country, it's Founding Fathers, Documents, and Principles, as well as its People. As does he.

They Revere the 20th Century's most Prolific MURERERS. Lenin. Stalin. Mao. Min. Pot. Castro. Che. Mugabe. As does he.

They live to DECIMATE our ability to Protect ourselves, let alone Protect our Democratic Allies. As does he.

They Divide us at every turn, by Race, Creed, Colour, Age, Religion, Income, and soon, by our Health and Ability to SERVE the State. As does he.

See? We've got bigger fish to fry, and GOD will provide. Rush and Sean and Glenn and Mark, will still get their messages out. The Party of Tolerance, Inclusiveness, and Diversity will try their best to silence the Truth, but the Truth has a way of getting out there. And though they would rather shed a tear for The Religion of Peace, than one of our Brave Troops who snapped after 4 Tours at the Front? And though they seek to keep us Penned up, and Castrated, like the Sheep that they believe we are, like the Valley of Death, we should fear no Evil, for GOD is with us, and will lead us to HIS Green Pastures.

The MUSLIM is the embodiment of everything that this Country was never meant to be. He is a Follower of a BOOK, dedicated to LUCIFER: Saul Alinsky's "Rules For Radicals".

They will try to enslave us, but we will FIGHT.

If you do not own a Weapon? I advise you to get one. You may not have that FREEDOM much longer.

Or, you can just "Live On Your Knees".

canuckistani| 3.27.12 @ 11:16AM

He ain't history. There is a bloc of white men that are growing in the disappointment that the world is no longer rigged in their favor anymore and need an outlet for their frustrations.
Rush is just one outlet that can wrap any populist pap with the flag and sell it as "America's last 'once more unto the breach' speech". Never devolving into paranoid mysticism like Beck or the pure inane absolutist babble of Levin.

The bogeyman called "them" is Rush's bread and butter, and "them" ain't goin' nowhere - and neither is Rush.

Explain what generation was freer than we are today:
The one before Junior when FICA did not exist and Cheney had not mused "deficits don't matter"?
The one before the repug congress repealed Glass-Steagal?
The one before RR where upward mobility lead the world?
The one before Nixon when healthcare costs and outcomes were nearly directly related?
The one before the 19th and 24th Amendments were law?

That covers about 100 years of our history. Trying to figure which generation had it better.

Nobody willy. Only they act we just bitch about Romney or whatever else. They act and do things so don't be shocked if they win. Cancel the HBO at least even though Hannity that fence post said he never will. Yeah Sean buy tour enemey his bullets-mutton head.

When cancelled HBO I told them that I was doing so because of Bill Maher. She told me that she hears that a lot. Very encouraging I'd say.

canuckistani| 3.27.12 @ 11:44AM

Like Rush, Maher has to be seen in its entirety.

Rush does a good job of creating a narrative around a simple headline each day. He can link fears, prejudices and biases to the most mundane, and chew up about 45 minutes of airtime doing it.

Maher is slightly different, but has the courage to have opposing views on the set. His views are tilted, laden with salty language, but his most peculiar views are almost always challenged live on air.
He makes no apologies about his atheism and is quite comfortable having guests dissent from this opinion.
The show is topical, funny and at times outrageously so. It is an excellent respite from the sanitized, repressed debate often heard in the MSM.
He has already lost a network show for his views and has found a home - like stern and beck, in other media. He also has a thick skin, and can thrive on grenades from the right.

Doctor Right| 3.27.12 @ 12:48PM

"Simple headline"?

You've obviously never listened to Rush.

If it was so simple, then your average a-hole with shit-for-brains - like yourself, for example, could also be a major media gudzillionaire.

So what's your problem, Jugdish? Show us all how "simple" it is.

Jerk-off.

Dick Nome | 3.27.12 @ 4:35PM

'salty language' ?? I'd call Maher's mouthings crass profanity and outright vulgar.

Good to hear. We need to go further. Just the funding of all this tv media alone. I don't want 1000 channels-I can do maybe 5-10, cut my bill. So I am paying all this money to support a bunch of shows overwhelmingly paying leftist-really this is hollywood-whose idiotic kid am I forced to pay as an actor or producer or whatever on some obscure cartoon channell ? This is not free market. We are funding the enemey !

canuckistani| 3.27.12 @ 12:08PM

There is no federal mandate for cable tv - at least not yet....turn it off. Read the phonebook.

JimmyMac| 3.27.12 @ 10:15AM

We no longer have HBO, I've contacted all of the advertisers who dropped Rush to tell them we will not do business with them and contacted those who stayed with him to thank them; but I wish I could do more. Any recommendations would be appreciated.

canuckistani| 3.27.12 @ 11:47AM

Why not start a petition to have your preferred vendors to begin advertising on Rush?

Rush needs to be on satellite with Stern and Opie&Anthony;.

Populism has a way of slapping you in the face from time to time, and if Clearchannel sees Rush as a money loser, he's gone. Simple commercial darwinism.

Doctor Right| 3.27.12 @ 12:49PM

I'd rather start a petition to end Chain-Migration...

gearjammer| 3.27.12 @ 12:05PM

Cable Fios etc-110 million wired homes. Say at 40 a month-most money goes to media conglomerates and they spread it around to fund the democrat media machine. 10 million times 40 dollars is 400 million a month or 5 billion a year. This would destroy these bastards-a big big hit. Show our muscle-cancel it all. Screw it all. Put a tv on the porch upside down. It'd transform the country.

I'm also not clear on the status of Tax Resolution Specialists. They issued a statement that they'd dropped their advertising on Rush's show, yet the other day, I heard one of their ads during the show. What gives?

jothepro| 3.27.12 @ 10:34AM

Local advertising.

Dick Nome| 3.27.12 @ 10:48AM

Several of the advertisers that chickened out now want back and are out of luck because Rush has replaced them. It's the Marketplace stupid. Rush has not lost anything. The chickenhearted advertisers have.

The bottom line is that published pieces that look pieced together from a bunch of tweets does not an article make. While some may label me a troll for this comment, my point is that we are supposed to be the intelligent side of the aisle and we should write like it.

Anthony| 3.27.12 @ 10:39AM

Thank you Jeff for an insightful article. Many of us have been aware of much of what you told us, perhaps not the activities specifically of one Mr. Angelo Carusone, in conjunction with Media Matters, the front for George Soros.
The left are all in. This is their last gasp at totalitarian utopia. It's now or never, with their last best hope Emperor Obozo.
Be it OWS, the Trayvon Martin incident, the New Black Panthers, or this coordinated effort to silence conservatives and conservative media, it's all an attempt to cow America into leftist submission.
This summer is going "hot", more so than '68, as the left and Obozo intimidate America into his re-election. It will not work.
"Only if we fight back" you say, you got that right Jeff, it's long past time to kick some ass.

Don L| 3.27.12 @ 11:01AM

It promises to be a very hot summer...hopefully, it will help keep the powder dry. As more awaken to the threat against this Republic, and Watts, D.C., Philly, Detroit from the sixties begin to pale in comparison to what the left is shooting for, my lasting hope is that reason will prevail and the left will have dealt itself a mortal blow.

Louis Jenkins| 3.27.12 @ 4:35PM

The left will never be completely dead. They may be maimed, or lose an arm or a leg, but we will never totally kill them. So be it. We can always keep hacking.

Jack London| 3.27.12 @ 10:47AM

I don't like using mental health comparisons, but seriously, Lord is getting increasingly deranged. Not only is it as though a massive part of our history never happened – the Repub's southern strategy after the civil right act – but complaining about perfectly legal campaigns and politics to speak out against the filth spouted by Beck, Limbaugh etc just makes him look like a child whose toys have fallen out of the stroller.

Crassus| 3.27.12 @ 11:25AM

Tell it to your buddy Jim Jeffries, Jack.

Jeffrey Lord| 3.27.12 @ 11:35AM

Jack....

Hmmm.

1. There would BE no civil rights act without Republicans. 82% of Republicans in the Congress in 1964 voted FOR the Civil Rights Act - as against
64% of Democrats. And why did we have to re-do Civil Rights legislation in the first place? Everything in civil rights in the 1960's had been
done in the 1860's and 1870's. The fact that it had to be done ALL OVER AGAIN....is because your side pushed segregation, the Klan, opposed anti-lynching laws etc.

Wake up, Jack. Exploiting race is THE heart of the Left. Which is why George Zimmerman is suddenly not a Latino but, according to the NYT, a "white Latino." Which makes President Obama, I guess, a white black man?

This is a disgraceful heritage...and you're still at it.

2. The 1964 "Southern Strategy" GOP Platform of which you speak supported:

"Full implementation and faithful execution of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and all other civil rights statutes, to assure equal rights and opportunities guaranteed by the Constitution to every citizen;"

3. The Dems are on record - ON RECORD - as supporting slavery, segregation, lynching, the Ku Klux Klan, racial quotas and every imaginable idea based on judging others by skin color. The GOP's very existence is premised on opposition to all of the above.

Jack, my friend, you are seriously propagandized.

DRed| 3.27.12 @ 11:48AM

Is that a. . .list? Wow. Why don't you go back to Russia with those communist tactics, Jeff?

blackwatch| 3.27.12 @ 3:38PM

nice straw dog argument DRed.

and no that was not a list.

canuckistani| 3.27.12 @ 11:56AM

The Southern Strategy was an attempt by Nixon to tap into real redneck anger about losing their providential dominion over lessers, and it continues to work today.

When a majority of rednecks have completely perverted, not just dissenting, views of the president and critical issues of the day, the solution is not at hand, Jeff.

Instead of blaming someone, try looking in the mirror and determine what you can do to reverse the dumbing down of rednecks everywhere. We need them to move forward. They are a good source of infantry, but giving them the vote and two surplus senators per state is a dangerous gamble if you continue the politics of "them".

Jack London| 3.27.12 @ 12:05PM

I see - it's clear now that this 'get Rush' thing is just a smokescreen for you to fulminate about race. Rush and co are under no great threat part from declining interest in what they peddle.

So Jeffrey - it's your position is is that progressives are racists and the historical position taken by southern Democrats is still alive? That Nixon/Goldwater didn't move to turn the southern states red by taking the conservative white vote? In fact your history is faulty – the southern strategy was in the late 1960s.

I guess it is kind of funny to think of Obama in league with the Aryan Nations but that really does exist only in your brain.

I thing that warped mind of yours is living in a time warp – it's 2012 now, Mr Lord.

Hello? Progressives and racists have been historically tied together right from the get go. What mine do you think Al Sharpton works in everyday? He is out there plumbing the progressive/race depths - a very, very long tradition with progressives.

Jeffrey, it's impossible for him/them to 'wake up' since they are THE PROBLEM so obviously they will refuse to acknowledge the truth!!!!

Anthony| 3.27.12 @ 2:30PM

Now, now Jeff, don't make Jack's pimple head explode with facts.
Oh heck, why not, why don't you do a piece on Margaret Sanger, the founder of Planned Parenthood, devout leftist, racist, and proponent of eugenics.
Eugenics, the survival of the supremists at the expense of the lower human races. Yes, nirvana lefty style!!!

Jack London| 3.27.12 @ 2:45PM

I'm sorry Jeffrey but you really do need to use some logic and precision in your writing. Jimmy Carter and Al Sharpton are not racists – they do not believe in the superiority of one race over another, as many of the posters on AmSpec do.

What you are saying is something quite different - that progressives try to confront racism, or at least a racism you do not admit exists, therefore they are inventing issues and upsetting people like you, for example when they question what happened in Sanford (how dare they!).

And no, the southern Dems or the Dixiecrats of the past were not progressives, by any definition.

As for the southern strategy, it doesn't get more obvious from this quotes from Nixon's political advisor:

From now on, the Republicans are never going to get more than 10 to 20 percent of the Negro vote and they don't need any more than that... but Republicans would be shortsighted if they weakened enforcement of the Voting Rights Act. "The more Negroes who register as Democrats in the South, the sooner the Negrophobe whites will quit the Democrats and become Republicans. That's where the votes are. Without that prodding from the blacks, the whites will backslide into their old comfortable arrangement with the local Democrats."

DTOM| 3.27.12 @ 4:45PM

Jack London,

You have confused your computer monitor with the mirror. You are projecting. You know nothing about the motivations of most who post here, except as they reveal them.

Again, the first guy to bring race into a non-racial discussion is reliably, the racist. While else would it come up?

You are the racist sir, you're the one worried about color. The rest of us are talking about free speech. Back to your little cave with the big, big , big mirror.

Don't Tread On Me.

Jack London| 3.27.12 @ 5:52PM

Me first with race? You obviously haven't even read Lord's ridiculous article, in which he brings in the Jews under the Nazis and Klan lynchings as - and I kid you not - equivalent to emails about buying ads on radio networks.

Oldefarte| 3.27.12 @ 5:59PM

Yeah, he's accurate! Try reading Wayne Root's latest editorial description of WHAT A SOCIALIST IS and see if same doesn't define how liberals/progressives like the ones now authoritarianly controlling this country relate to the Nazies of 1930's Germany!!!!!!

Oldefarte| 3.27.12 @ 5:54PM

They are IDIOTS and DUMBARSES, and the latter is a race-baiter and pimp; no progressives instead try to instigate racial riots and disharmony all for political purposes, as in NEVER LET A POLITICAL CRISIS GO TO POLITICAL WASTE; what happened in Sanford happen very day of the week and the legal court system and judges and juries should/will take care of same not STREET PIMPS AND RACIAL HUSTLERS LIKE SHARPTON AND JACKSON['....Jimmy Carter and Al Sharpton are not racists – they do not believe in the superiority of one race over another, as many of the posters on AmSpec do.What you are saying is something quite different - that progressives try to confront racism, or at least a racism you do not admit exists, therefore they are inventing issues and upsetting people like you, for example when they question what happened in Sanford (how dare they!).....' !!!!!!!!!!!

Tim the Enchanter| 3.27.12 @ 2:23PM

Jeffrey- you need to choose better friends.

Bob K.| 3.27.12 @ 12:04PM

Hey Jack!

But seriously! How is Lord's use of historical comparisons a sign of mental derangement?

Lord compares Carusone's tactics with the French Reign of Terror; Stalin's Gulag, Hitler's Concentration Camps and Mao's Red Guards which began with similar fear tactics used by the Intellectual thugs who ran these Nations.

Carusone probably has a picture of that great political murderer and intellectual Che Guevara on his desk. He is a Left Wing Intellectual like Pol Pot and Professor Abimael Guzman of Peru's Shining Path were. He thinks, like all these other people did, that he is superior to the "common" people who are Rush Limbaugh's and the Tea Party's natural constituency. That is why Limbaugh and Palin and Beck and the Tea Party must be shut up.

Jack, we await your defense of Che, Pol Pot, Guzman, Lenin et al. Go to it!

Jack London| 3.27.12 @ 12:11PM

Bob,

deep down - please be truthful - do you really think that sending emails to Rush sponsors is in the same league as the Nazi's Final Solution? Really? Care to tell that to some Jewish people in all seriousness? I think you cannot be serious.

Don L| 3.27.12 @ 12:36PM

Well, one could argue the 53 million sacrificed to the liberal culture of death crowd, far surpassed anything the Germans did.(Please, spare me the fetal tissue talk -Obama put all that to sleep when he demanded that we slaughter fully born babies -we are dealing with sheer evil. Fatal, if we don't recognize it!

Jack London| 3.27.12 @ 1:00PM

Interesting to note who said: 'There are times when an abortion is necessary, I know that. When you have a black and a white or a rape."

DTOM| 3.27.12 @ 1:23PM

So you said it, Jack?

Tim the Enchanter| 3.27.12 @ 2:27PM

Jack- we in this country don't plan on letting it get that far. If the Nazi Party was stopped at the Beer Hall Putsch, there wouldn't have been a WWII. Putz.

Oldefarte| 3.27.12 @ 2:36PM

Of course it is fool. It's called political intimidation, just as is described by this article. Why don't the despotic liberal bastards go after Limbaugh DIRECTLY instead of after his ad sponsors which have nothing to do with his political message and are only trying to sell their products/services upon his show? Why, because these sleazy bastards don't care who they hurt or impune in their quest for victory. They are ruthless animals intent upon THE MEANS JUSTIFIES THE END philosophy and they don't have the guts to ID themselves and to attack their target directly since they're typical spineless OWS/SDS type skumbags!!!!!

Bob K.| 3.27.12 @ 2:40PM

Jack,

Like you I don't like making mental health comparisons but I had to comment on the "mental health" problems and "derangement" that affect Intellectuals like Carusone.

In this case, it is their extreme, pathological egotism which drives them to try to stop the freedom of speech and expression of people they disagree with politically. This could lead to what happened to the people who lived where the ones mentioned by Mr. Lord ruled.

It is not as though this "massive part" of World History did not happen and was not caused by people like this.

Now, will you explain again why you want to shut up Limbaugh and company?

Jack London| 3.27.12 @ 3:36PM

Bob,

like Jeffery Lord, you are confusing censorship with politics. If you can show me any illegal violations of free speech here do tell and I'll support you. But what we have is politics - one side countering what I feel is the poisonous anti-American rhetoric of the right that is holding back economic progress in this country (such as via better health and social mobility).

In fact, you should welcome this kind of political debate, because what we can all agree on (possibly) is that we need more people to engage with politics and to vote.

Bob K.| 3.27.12 @ 7:54PM

The speech on this forum is free for us Jack. For talk show hosts like Limbaugh and Beck, et al and even talkers on the left like Chris Matthews it isn't. It has to be paid for. It's done, as you well know, by selling advertising.

What is poisonous rhetoric to a Socialist like yourself (Why else would you use the Pen Name of a famous writer who was an avowed socialist?)
is the very aroma of fresh air and freedom to America's working class, the Tea Party and to Reagan Democrats. You men and women of the left sold them out long ago.

Would you like the Tea Party to organize secondary boycotts against the sponsors of Chris Matthews? It would be legal just like the one Lawyer Carusone has organized against Limbaugh. It would also be an attempt to suppress free speech and against the spirit of the 1st Amendment which you are concerned about when I criticize your approval of this tactic.

Bob| 3.27.12 @ 8:43PM

How much did you say Media Matters is paying you?

Anthony| 3.27.12 @ 2:41PM

Jack,
deep down-please be truthful- do you think lefty FDR's internment of Japanese-Americans was in the same league as the Nazi's Final Solution?
Or do you still want to justify the Alinsky tactic against Rush?
I think you cannot be serious because you're such a leftist moron!!

Oldefarte| 3.27.12 @ 6:00PM

Bob| 3.27.12 @ 8:48PM

Yes, a massive part of history never happened, like the Democrat governors who seceeded from the Union after Republican Abraham Lincoln became President, like the Democrat legislatures who suppressed the rights of black people in the south for a hundred years after the end of the Civil War, and for the Democrat intimidation of black voters at the polls and intimidation of black people in general through the KKK.

Yes, let's all pretend that massive part of our history never happened.

Poli-Sci Profs are Socialists| 3.27.12 @ 10:28PM

College kids love to spout what their professors told 'em about this mysthical "southern strategy." If you're old enough to remember, you know that Nixon ran on a law-and-order platform -- his villians were student protestors, not blacks. Just remember it this way: Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act. Nixon came AFTER Johnson. The worst of the demonstrations for minority voting rights were all over by 1968, and the battle was carried on by the eighteen-year-olds who wanted to vote.

albert constantine jr.| 3.28.12 @ 11:45PM

Particularly since in 1968, George Wallace was the "Southern Strategy" candidate. Though Nixon is reported to have received 36% of the black vote, he didn't pull most of the southern electoral votes.

In 1972, Wallace was running in the Democrat primary again when he was shot by Arthur Bremer. Nixon won the South that time, but then, he won every state except Massachusetts and D.C.

In 1976, the South went for Jimmy Carter, who wore out his welcome there and just about everywhere else by 1980. In 1984, though RWR won the South handily, he won just about everywhere else, too.

Don L| 3.27.12 @ 10:49AM

So the atheist left (a redundancy) the mortal enemy of freedom sees as their best weapon for attacking and weakening us, is "social issues" (their printed goals - destroy the family, infiltrate the Church, pervert the culture-embrace death?) yet we are so blind and morally corrupted by their success in dividing us against ourselves and "Nature's God" (the only source of our inalienable rights), thus far, that all the right wing wishes to do is talk about the economy and hurl spittle at the people who believe that at the core of all evil, is moral wrong -while they demand the government leave alone their 30 pieces of silver.

Dave Williams| 3.27.12 @ 11:24AM

Um, sorry to bust your categories, but I'm an atheist rightie, and for the same reasons. No government messing with my life -- no supposed supernatural scorekeeper doing the same thing. ALL true conservatives should be atheists.

It's A Cunning Plan Actually!| 3.27.12 @ 12:41PM

Hi Dave. I would never as a Christian or a conservative try to "mess with your life". God won't either, but He will love you just the same. You may not believe in Him, but He does believe in you. Also God won't condemn you when your life here ends. You do that yourself in your unbelief. He won't try to stop you either. Please remember though, there is a consequence to everything in this life. Also, please give the existance of God some more thought too. It won't hurt you & one of my closest friends was a self proclaimed atheist just like you. He now is a minister & one of the most faithful people I know. As for ALL "true conservatives" should be atheists", sorry, but a "true conservative" whatever that is will not try to rationalize how we came to be here without acknowledging a far more intelligent being who is bigger than us & much more important than us calling the shots. Not to mention acknowledge the life of Jesus Christ who defintely was not like you & me. He did things & lived a life NONE of us could. Please do some good hard thinking on the existance of God. He does not wish to see any perish, you included & He will do things to change your life for the better beyond your dreams. Take care Dave & use the brain God gave you to seek Him out. You won't be disappointed. I promise.

A really good post above at 11:41 A.M. Thank you, friend, for posting that. Let us pray that Mr. Dave Williams takes those kind and good words to heart.

"Know God, know peace" (in this life and the next).

"No God, no peace" (in one's own life) -- just turmoil.

Best post of the day. Every conservative needs to heed these kind of words. For without God we are not going to prevail in saving our communities, our states, our neighborhoods, and our families, grandchildren.

But with God -- all things are possible. And I'm talking about the God of the Bible.

Tim the Enchanter| 3.27.12 @ 2:31PM

Dave- you're mistaking "conservative" with "libertarian". Conservatism assumes God exists. Libertarianism- not so much. BTW, your opinions about the existence of God have nothing to do with fact. You'll find out- eventually. Try Pascal's wager, for a start.

Those doofuses are not conservatives, they are libertarian neocon chickenhawk talk show hacks who put do not know the first thing about conserving our heritage, our small businesses, our land, our culture, just war, war, war and the infallibility of the free market. They have given the conservatism of Russell Kirk a bad name, when in fact they are not conservatives at all.

People we need to fight Media Matters and this ass back immediately with their own jack booted fist to the face tactics - lets find out who owns and controls the money (Soros no doubt) and inundate the hell out of their twitter accounts, facebook accounts and e-mail accounts as we can find them. Out this little commie rat bastard with everything we have. Start web sites attacking him as he has done to Rush and Beck. This little son of a bitch Cortisone needs to feel some very real pain ;) in the form of a media smackdown the likes of which he will never recover. Then we start a trial for treason and administer the appropriate punishment.

MOS was 71331| 3.27.12 @ 3:35PM

Another thing we can do is show the orgs withdrawing their sponsorship of Rush Limbaugh and others that such withdrawal may not be a good business decision. I posted below a copy of the email I sent Home Depot. Perhaps receiving similar emails from other customers will persuade those advertisers that giving in to extortion is frequently unwise.

His news group broadcast news I've yet to hear on ANY network or cable show (for example, the beheadings in the US). And Beck understands -- as does Lord and Rush -- exactly what the Left is doing.

Good for Mark Stevens, too. Thanks for including the link, Mr. Lord.

Above quote by Thomas Paine. Its amazing how people fail to realize this. But when you consider how Lenin felt about a free press, along with leftist Goebbels, you can see why the regressives love to destroy free speech:

"The bourgeoisie is many times stronger than we. To give it the weapon of freedom of the press is to ease the enemy's cause. To help the class enemy. We do not desire to end in suicide, so we will not do this."...Lenin

"It is the absolute right of the state to supervise the formation of public opinion."...Goebbels

That chickenhawk Rush is a legend all right. He single-handedly destroyed the Conservative movement in America, making it a laughing stock. His so-called conservativism doesn't conserve anything at all, it destroys small towns, small business, small farms and ruins families. The free market is god to him, and families and communities be damned.

You're an idiot. Tell that the the hundreds of dead communities that Walmart has destroyed. The thousands of family farms killed by giant agribusiness. You are an enemy of the people and friend of one or two giant corporations.

Screwtape| 3.27.12 @ 1:25PM

I can't think of anything that made families stronger than family farms, which blind support of the free market capitalism has totally destroyed thanks to the connivance of Big Government and Big Agriculture. I don't expect you to know about that since you only know what Rush tells you.

Con Chef (NB) | 3.27.12 @ 1:39PM

I know that the free market has always been the best engine for human advancement yet devised. Your denegration of it labels you as an outright Marxist, as does your label of me as "an enemy of the people." It is fellators of big government, like yourself, who are the scourge of this Republic.

Get out your kneepads. You need to pay your "masters" back for all your goodies, serf.

Despite what you say, Con, government is one of the main drivers of human advancement as you well know. Countless research programs that have led to enormous progress have been paid for with our tax dollars.

Meanwhile, back at the contraception issue, can I confirm that your position is that it's OK for a married woman to have her sex life paid for as part of a private health plan, but not for an unmarried woman?

BS, since anything should be mostly allowable involving a PRIVATE INSURANCE relationship as long as the coverage and price dictate same. PUBLIC INSURANCE [aka OBAMA/WELFARE CARE ] is another animal altogether. Do you ignorangely equate the two? Do you understand that taxpayers have to pay for/fund the latter through their forced tax payments and that they voluntarily pay for the former? Why whould they be forced to pay for the sexual activities of anyone forcibly through the dictatorial activities of the government??????????????????????????????

Isaac Newton needed no government dollars to develop his theory of gravity. James Clerk Maxwell needed no government dollars to develop his theory of electromagnetism. Albert Einstein needed no government dollars to develop relativity.

And let's not forget the biggest use of government spending: the atomic bomb. And Einstein only appealed to Roosevelt because he feared Hitler was sponsoring an atomic bomb project himself.

Screwtape| 3.27.12 @ 4:15PM

Obviously you and the other "mainstream conservatives" like things the way they are. Like how government and big ag connive to run family farms out of business. Like how big corporations like Walmart destroy small towns. I'd like to know what is conservative about that? What are you conserving besides the lifestyle of Walton family? You people are all frauds and libertarians but too stupid to know it.

DTOM| 3.27.12 @ 4:53PM

Screwtape;

Family farms were destroyed by the increased productivity of farming operations created by John Deere and the rest of the technological improvements in farming efficiency.

In 1900 about 85 of every 100 workers was producing food - today, it's less than 1 in every 100. That's what did in the family farm - progress! Not the evil free market. So find yourself a new big monster under your bed to believe in! It ain't the free market.

By the way, there is no such thing as the Tooth Fairy. You might have missed that one, too.

Sheesh. Get some facts, willya?

Don't Tread On Me.

Screwtape| 3.27.12 @ 6:00PM

Ah, the cult of efficiency, excuse for everything bad in modern America. If I wanted to start a family farm today, I could not because of the regulations, which big ag put in place with the connivance of Big Gov to keep the competition out.

Bob| 3.27.12 @ 8:39PM

BS Screwtape, BS. Let me familiarize you with Wickard v Fillburn. Ever heard of it? Probably not, since leftists like yourself deal in fear, not facts.

The Agriculture Adjustment Act of 1938 was devised by the Roosevelt government to create an artificial scarcity of wheat to increase prices. As with so many leftist programs, this was an assault on individual liberties passed during a time of crisis, and the Roosevelt government used the Commerce Clause to justify the act. Fillburn produced wheat in excess of what the economic planners in the Roosevelt government mandated, and was taken to court for it. Fillburn maintained that he only used the excess wheat for personal consumption, and since that wheat didn't enter the wheat market, it didn't affect wheat prices and wasn't traded between states, so Fillburn argued it can't be regulated since it wasn't interstate commerce. The court, stacked with Roosevelt appointments (only one Justice was nominated by Herbert Hoover, the rest by Roosevelt), ruled against Fillburn, arguing that since Fillburn was growing his own wheat, he wouldn't have otherwise bought that same wheat, so he was affecting interstate commerce by not participating in the interstate market.

This throws out your whole argument. It was not "big ag", it was Roosevelt's economic planners who sought to play with prices who screwed over family farms. Government price control is what screwed over family farms. Roosevelt, one of the most leftist, progressive presidents in history (although Obama is giving him a run for his money), is the one who screwed over family farms.

Appeals to emotion won't work when you're arguing with someone who knows history.

You Screwtape seem to hold a utopian view that big government is upright and moral and that government regulatory control (that is unconstitutional to begin with) will always do the moral, right thing.

You Screwtape claim to be suspicious of anything big, yet fail to comprehend free market capitalism is literally hundreds of millions of small individual consumers making decisions in their own interests, which also serves to keep CEOs honest - if CEOs decisions aren't in comsumers interests then consumers will not purchase those CEOs products thereby rendering those CEOs impotent.

You Screwtape must be an Obama supporter by your examples of posts revealing that you lack intelligence and honesty, and lack integrity and character, which is entirely predictably consistent of a typical pathetic and despicable liberal tyrant wannabe.

Screwtape| 3.28.12 @ 12:13PM

I could explain and show examples how big ag and big gov conspire against the little man, but it wouldn't convince you. You are obviously brainwashed to think that the free market is perfect. Just like liberals think the government is perfect. You are the same. I suspect both.

You are the idiot here. Try to farm wheat in your backyard. You can't, the government will swoop in and stop you. Why? Because Roosevelt sought to control wheat prices during the Great Depression. Now, if I want a family farm on my back yard, I have to get approval from so many government agencies that I'll probably go broke before I'm able to even start plowing. You can even say that "big agrobusiness" has been granted a virtual monopoly by the government, by Roosevelt's government, and no subsequent President or Congress has limited that power of the federal government.

Appeal to emotions won't work when you try to argue with someone who knows the facts.

Purp| 3.27.12 @ 6:23PM

Poor word choice - for 3 days running? Are you an idiot? Rush harangued on one woman for 3 days and then continued on the "Authorette" for another day and continued again on another woman, a "Feminazi" in Rush's words. He is endearing himself to women NOT.
You never heard of the token black? Are you that stupid? And, yes Ed Schultz not only apologized, but left the air for 1 week as penance. He is a commentator like Rush. Bill Maher is a comedian, and good luck getting apologies from Jeff Foxworthy, Bill Maher, or Kathy Griffin. Totally different people - or are you that dumb too?

Conservative Bob| 3.27.12 @ 1:42PM

"Only if we fight back"
The fundamental challenge is how to effectively fight back. For the left “By any means…” is their operating principle. How does one effectively fight back against this unrelenting assault? The ministry of propaganda (media matters, drive by +white house) colors and shapes the news to suit their agenda. They are actively reducing our liberty and undermining our republic. How does one effectively fight back against this treachery in service of tyranny? What is the appropriate response to individuals and groups actively taking our children’s and grand children’s birth rights? A strongly worded letter to the editor; a promise not to do business in the future; maybe a stinging critical letter to the chairman of a media company announcing outrage over their hypocrisy; will any of these or similar efforts have any impact on people how operate “by any means..”? Will these exposes shedding light on them force them modify their conduct or will they in unison assail and diminish their attackers and continue their efforts unfazed?
How should one deal with people who are so imbued with their own sense of superiority and self importance that that they feel it is their right to tell others not only what they can hear but what they can think and believe?
I know how to respond if a thug breaks into my home to threaten my family or steal my possessions. How should one respond to thugs seeking to steal our more precious but less immediately tangible fundamental liberties?
“Only if we fight back”

Until I saw this announcement, I was a regular Home Depot customer. Obviously, Home Depot is free to advertise on any radio and TV shows it wishes. If you no longer wish to advertise on Rush Limbaugh's show, so be it.

Fortunately, I am equally free to patronize any businesses I wish. As Home Depot has chosen to cave in to Media Matters as it attempts to "persuade" sponsors to abandon Rush Limbaugh's show, I have chosen to shop at Home Depot no longer.

I hope you find that abandoning the Limbaugh show was a bad business decision.

CNN is the Commissars media equivalent of the disposable crew-member.

In the news spectrum, CNN the weakest of all liberal media parroting DNC talking points.

An impoverished people is much more easy to control. That's why they have the black community languish in poor economic conditions. Black people who have been successful are not given the spotlight, people like Sharpton and Farrakhan who spread fear are.

And when they drain everyone dry and have all of us live in the "projects", that is when their ultimate plan will be achieved. They took Russia, Germany, Cuba, and China. They're real prize is the United States.

Kevin Jackson | 3.27.12 @ 4:28PM

So what they go after Rush. He's a big boy. The KEY is to have MANY MORE voices in the Conservative movement, so there are LOTS of targets. The problem with Liberals is they only want a few "leaders," controllable ones at that. Conservatives could easily tip the scales by creating more warriors. A hint that Rush Limbaugh or Glenn Beck is a fan of somebody creates an instant star. Where are the Oprah Winfrey's on the Right? The Left can't destroy what they can't hit. Next, we can appeal to the "core" of people. Remind black people that Liberals treat them like punk-a** b*tches, and you will get their attention. How could a group of people who survived slavery by Democrats, lack of civil rights by Democrats, to ultimately get Obama elected be WEAK? How easily can black people be bought off in the Democrats' modern-day slave trade? Conservatives and Republicans need new messengers, warriors. We have had the same voices for decades to get an American we don't even recognize. TheBlackSphere DOT net!

Good read. Funny though how the attack on Rush has been an epic fail for Mr. Carusone. My guess is Rush has more listeners now and the loyalty of his listeners has only strengthened him in the eyes of advertisers. We don't advertise on his national show, but we do pay a premium to be heard during his broadcast locally because it is such a huge, educated, and affluent audience. Rates have not gone down either.

Now Rush is doing his own tweets and companies are aware of what is going on in regards to the lefts dirty tricks. Sleep Number has to be kicking itself for making such a huge marketing blunder and they obviously know it because they were so desperate to get back on the show. Adios Mr. Carusone, and thanks for showing once again how the left is unable to win on the merits of debate.

Bob| 3.27.12 @ 8:06PM

It was an epic fail. That's why Obama phoned his buddies in the New Black Panther Party via Al Sharpton and asked them to think of something. When the Trayvon Martin shooting happened, Sharpton and NBPP had the perfect incident to inflate into a national crisis and instill fear in the black community.

" the leftists beneath the hoods of the Ku Klux Klan lynched terrified blacks at night while running America's Democratic Party by day"

..OY..VEY IST MIR..!!
THIS MIGHT be the single craziest statement I have read--TODAY-- on this site... But I am sure it will be re-placed by an even more stupid--and stupifying one, pretty soon, here..

BTW.MR Lord.. are you even vaguelly aware that Dachau and other concentration camps in Germany were originally set up to imprison and torture the democratic Socialist and Communist opponents to the Nazis..?-- and that the "Socialist" part of that hoodlum organization was NOT ever meant...even remotely, in the weird crazy unhistorical way you spew it...?

Jeffrey Lord| 3.27.12 @ 7:52PM

Bemused...

You have never heard of the "KlanBake"...the 1924 Democratic Convention in New York's Madison Square Garden...run by the Klan? That produced the progressive platform of 1924? Oy indeed.

Your side is well on record...platforms, candidates etc...supporting slavery, segregation, lynching and the Klan. Indeed, the late Senator Robert Byrd of West Virginia had his career enabled by being a Kleagle or some such in the Klan...

Truly...are you REALLY not aware that the slogan that the Nazi's used to showcase their economic philosophy was "Gemeinnutz geht vor Eigennutz"...ie: "The Commonwealth ranks above private profit."??????The Nazi philosophy...which by the way pre-dated Hitler, is, in the words of the Austrian economist Von Mises :"the purest and most consistent manifestation of the anticapitalistic socialistic spirit of our age."

Hello? BTW...did you know the earth is round? :)

Bob| 3.27.12 @ 8:04PM

Mr. Lord, it seems that the Media Matters goons have come out in force today.

bemused,but not AMUSED| 3.27.12 @ 8:12PM

...yeah... and ALL THE MEMBERS of the GRAND OLD PARTY have ALWAYS been staunch intergrationists, eh...???

Where the HELL do you have the chutzpah to call The Klan "Leftists".. ( let alone using that meaningless word talking about The French Revolution,,,?)

The "Commonweath" the Nazis were refering to, btw.. had absolutely NOTHING whatever to do with the good of the PEOPLE.. it was a code word for an "Aryan" racialist State...and the Nazis NEVER had any intention of nationalising private property-- other then stealing those owned by Jewish concerns-- or , working with military contractors..

Your rant is COMICAL..IF NOT MORE THEN SLIGHTLY OBSCENE...no wonder Hush Bimbo raved about it, today......

RCV| 3.28.12 @ 9:37PM

"The 'Klanbake' at the 1924 Democratic National Convention"!! Mr. Lord, that was 88 years ago ... and the very last time the Klan wanted anything to do with the national Democratic party. In 1928, it nominated Al Smith, a Roman Catholic, whom the Klan hated almost as much as it hated African-Americans. After him, the national Democrats ran FDR and his "colored-loving" wife, Eleanor, and then a series of progressive pro-civil rights Democrats from Adlai Stevenson through Barack Obama. The Klan wanted nothing to do with the "communist" national Democrats.

Were there Republicans who worked with the northern Democrats to end legal segregation and give American blacks their full civil rights? You bet -- they were known as "liberal Republicans" (can you even imagine that term today?) Good decent people like Jacob Javits and Kenneth Keating and Tom Kuchel and Bill Scranton, Ed Brooke, Margaret Chase Smith, George Romney, Mark Hatfield, Clifford Case and Ev Dirksen. People who wouldn't even be welcome in your Republican party today. Conservative Republicans like Bill Buckley and James Burnham and Barry Goldwater, along with the National Review and Human Events and other "conservative" publications, fought tooth and nail against the Civil Rights Act and efforts to end legal segregation. Remember? That's why Trent Lott lamented the defeat of Strom Thurmond in the 1948 election.

You and other conservative Republicans have nothing in common with those Republicans, Jeffrey, other than the name "Republican". Any more than you have in common with another Republican, Abraham Lincoln, who saw the need for a strong central national government and who knew what people really meant when they championed "states' rights".

RCV| 3.27.12 @ 6:47PM

Rush is an entertainer, pure and simple. As long as he continues to entertain, he will have sponsors. If and when his act gets tired, they'll flee. Until then he's just fine. Having said that, Lord's column is laughable from start to finish. The French Revolution, really? The KKK as "leftists"? Pardon my guffah.

Jeffrey Lord| 3.27.12 @ 7:39PM

RCV| 3.28.12 @ 6:25PM

Jeff - I do laugh at the notion that the KKK has anything to do with political liberalism or progressivism. The prevailing ideology of Southern racism was racism, and it transcended any considerations of ideological views. That's why Strom Thurmond could transition so easily from being a southern Democrat to a Republican. Yes Woodrow Wilson was a progressive ideologically, but he was a racist because he was a southern racist, and bred as one. Hubert Humphrey was a progressive too, and led the fight for civil rights and helped end the unholy alliance between northern Democratic progressives and southern Democratic racists (some of whom were populists, and many of whom were just reacionaries as well as racists, which is why they fit so easily into the Republican party after the old Democratic colation collapsed.)

Bob| 3.27.12 @ 8:03PM

"Rush is an entertainer" is the classic line used by leftists to try and diminish the impact he's had on American culture and the American right. My friend, he is much more than "an entertainer". His "act" will never get tired because it's not an act, it's him exposing leftists day after day.

And the KKK were leftists. The same Democrat party that suppressed blacks for a hundred years after they were emancipated was the party that at least looked the other way when the KKK ran rampant, and at worse actively encouraged their activities. And today's Democrat party hasn't changed. Maybe their tactics have changed (although the recent announcement of the bounty on Zimmerman's head seems to indicate the tactics haven't changed), but they continue to intimidate blacks economically and by instilling fear of white people and exploiting that fear.

RCV| 3.28.12 @ 7:47PM

Here's a statement from a Klan website:

"Enemies from within are destroying the United States of America. An unholy coalition of anti-White, anti-Christian liberals, socialists, feminists,
homosexuals, and militant minorities have managed to seize control of our government and mass media . . . We shall liberate our nation from these savage criminals and restore law and order to America."

Let's ask ourselves: Who's ideology does this most resemble? Progressive Democrats? In fact, we hear much of the same ranting from the regular TAS posters every day on this site.

Bob| 3.27.12 @ 7:59PM

When the list of sponsors who left Rush came out and their ties to leftist radicals was revealed, I suspected it was a plot years in the making. I had no idea just how big this plot was. It's truly frightening how coordinated these people are. They have the media and the President on their side. It does say something though, how we have Rush on our side and they can't touch him.

Gary B| 3.27.12 @ 8:53PM

Bob,

We also have most of the country on our side, which must drive the left absolutely nuts.

Obama did conservatives a great favor. Obama created the Tea Party. He lead his leftist buddies right out of the closet and into the light of day for all to see. There is no doubt whatsoever who they are and what they want: the end of America.

By their posts, we shall know them. Liberalism is a mental disorder.

Jake| 3.27.12 @ 10:00PM

If there was a plot, Rush's willing participation was necessary to pull it off.
It's shabby to tear down Hannity ,Ingraham and other talkers on the right defend Limbaugh.
Hannity et al. would not have lied for three days like Limbaugh did about Fluke's words.
Hannity et al. would never have sunk to the depraved depths that Limbaugh did.
I cannot imagine Sean Hannity as the father of a young daughter, suddenly fantasizing about 6th grade girls and 13 yr old girls having sex,
like Limbaugh did .
I cannot imagine Sean Hannity asking to see videos of college girls having sex, like Limbaugh did.
I cannot imagine Sean Hannity going into great detail discussing lubricants and condoms, like Limbaugh did.
Or swollen female parts like Limbaugh did.
Or various sexual activities , like Limbaugh did.
For 3 days.
None of which were related to Fluke's remarks.
Limbaugh and only Limbaugh is responsible for his lying and X rated on air behavior.
Upon reading the transcripts of Limbaugh's three days , it's completely understandable that advertisers would bail.
Plus, once it was revealed that Limbaugh completely lied about Fluke,
he no longer had any credibility to vouch for a product.
If Limbaugh will so brazenly lie about Fluke's testimony , he'll brazenly lie about the comfort of a mattress.
It's insulting to the other hosts to tarnish them with the same brush in order to defend Limbaugh.
And pathetic to blame Media Matters for Limbaugh's behavior.

Fox has not exactlyalways treated her with respect, so I'm not sure that they will renew her contract even if she is willing. They don't seem to like anyone that doesn't toe the elitist GOP agenda- and she marches to her own drummer. I suppose if her contract is not renewed maybe Media Matters will try to claim victory?

If you can't compete in the open arena of ideas, then you have to shut up the opposition. Leftists have tried and failed miserably at talk radio, and it chaps them and drives them bat-sh*t crazy that Rush is so successful. Jealousy. They can't field a show to compete so they try to silence him and others.

They might as well shout from the rooftops, "We have nothing to say and we can't compete, and we are tired of being embarrassed and exposed by the likes of Rush. We are empty suits that only have intimidation and threats to hold up our empty ideology. So shut up."

There are a LOT more people, both left and right who support free speech. Media Matters is going against the American Majority and they will lose.

They are driving people to Rush to hear what all the fuss is about. Amazing how it has backfired on them. Watching liberals foam at the mouth is fast becoming a spectator sport.

Suzze| 3.28.12 @ 1:21AM

Over the years, I have been an occasional Rush listener. Since the start of the fake "war on women" which is really a war on my Catholic religion, I have become determined to listen to every single Rush show. In addition, I have started or ended my use of products based upon their decisions to advertise or not with Rush. Carbonite and Media Matters will be gone within a year along with Sandra Fluke, Obamacare and Angelo Carusone.
Rush IS Radio - Radio needs Rush more than he needs radio so I have no fear. Anyone can start a fake Twitter campaign against someone's character and if that's all they can do because they can't compete on ideas, they will be gone quickly.

Thank you so much for writing this article.

I wandered in from outside at the recommendation of a sympathetic reader, and here's what I find: an article filled with self-righteous indignation, ad-hominem attacks ("Commissar Carusone") and disgusting comparisons (Nazis, Stalin). Over and over, the author cries out at the injustices wreaked on his aggrieved victims, never once displaying any balance or even knowledge of similar attack methods perpetrated by those sharing his political persuasion.

I sincerely hope that the readers of this site are not relying on writers like Mr. Lord for real information.

There is only one way to defeat a leftist Democrat party, which is in lockstep with a corrupt leftist media - Use the same tactics as they do. We somehow think we can out-debate them in the arena of ideas,and it doesn't work, because they lie. They also steal elections with voter fraud, and use taxpayer money to fund their agenda with "stimulus" money and campaign contributions (kickbacks) from unions. These people are evil and we can't beat them playing fair, just remember that. That's why we need to reject moderate Republicans and elect hard line tea partiers. Moderates don't have the courage to slash government drastically, and cut off the head of the beast. The time for moderation is over. If you want to save the Republic, desperate times call for desperate measures. This isn't just politics, it's war for the survival of our land.

jgo| 3.29.12 @ 9:34AM

I think that Limbaugh, Beck, Levin, Hannity, Coulter, Malkin, Schlafly, Boortz, Liddy have been moderately enthused amateurs up against polished, well-paid, well tutored, flaming radical leftists.

Each one has different strengths and weaknesses, and they have to engage in self-examination (with right-wing coaches including each other) to learn what those strengths and weaknesses are, so that they can learn to more consistently play from their strengths. Some are better with data and facts, while others -- though nowhere near as adept at it as the leftists -- do better with emotions and generalities.

Most of them still fail most of the time to get at the sharp edge of the disputes of the day, the clean clear precise lines. I'd have been happy with Levin guest-hosting all of the others' shows these last couple days. He's really been in his element while the others more or less fumbled around, and, well, some of them can't be all over it because of the timing.

Limbaugh needs to stay away from discussing evolution until he's gotten some serious remedial coaching on it, but he's been a decent proxy for everyman when it comes to economic statistics in recent months.

ROUNDS COOKING OFF

The Democrats have this "enemies list" --- denominated in epithets aimed at the people whose wallets they wish to hijack and take up residence inside. You can be a “Racist!” and you can be a “Terrorist!” and you can be a “Dictator” and you can be a “Hostage-taker!” and you can “Wear a tinfoil hat!” and you can be a “Homophobe!” and you can be a “Teabagger!” --- a homosexual man taking his partner’s scrotum into his mouth. You can be “Selfish!” and you can be a “Wacko!” and you can be a “Hick!” and you can be a “Rube!” and you can be “Uneducated” and you can be an “Extremist!” You can be a “Right-wing-nut!” and you can be “Mentally Ill” and you can be “Deranged!” and you can be a “Flake!” and you can be a “Warmonger!” and you can be "Unenlightened!" and you can be a “FatCat!” and you can be a “Greedy!” member of the productive class, and you can be a “Nazi!” and you can be a “Fascist!” --- although no one more closely approaches the precise description of “Nazi!” or “Fascist!” than the usual Democrat propagandist --- either official, or self-appointed.

Lies, after all, are the heart and soul and the sword and shield of the Democrat party.

So all you have to do to occupy multiple epithets on the Democrats’ enemies list is to insist that they take their hands off yourself, off your wallet, off your property, off your kids, off your diet, off your healthcare, off your household appliances, off your car, off your bank account, off your weapons of self-defense, off your liberty, and off your freedom of speech. Insist on all these good things - and that qualifies you to be spat upon by nasty, mean-spirited scum --- by The Friends of All Mankind --- by a gang of lying, thieving, dope-smoking, pill-popping, coke-snorting, sticky-fingered, bloodsxcking, tax-eating, gun-stealing, predatory humanitarian hoodlums, thugs and gangsters --- by the Democrat party, in other words. No political party in the history of America more profoundly deserves absolute and outright destruction.

THE AGE OF OHBUMMER, KING OF THE REPUBLIC OF LIES

OhBummer is a b00b and a fool for attacking the American Tea Partiers. Heck, he thought that he had all of us hoodwinked, hornswoggled, and bamboozled. He’s annoyed that the Tea Partiers are not grateful to him for hijacking the American healthcare system --- the greatest act of vandalism perpetrated upon the American people since a gang of jihadi frootloops and loonytoons hijacked some planes and crashed them into the World Trade Center towers --- and the Pentagon, and made a failed attempt to crash into the White House --- and instead drilled a hole in a Pennsylvania farm thanks to some very courageous American passengers.

And --- now widely seen for what he is --- the president presents a problem for the Democrat-captured media. They pump out his propaganda for him --- and, like the opinion monitors in Ayn Rand’s novel, “Atlas Shrugged” --- they are dodging brickbats and rotten vegetables.

He’s pompous, pampered, and pretentious --- a pseudo-intellectual fop. He’s a glorified, smooth-lyin’ dandy, and slicker than Sick Willie Clinton. He’s a dictator-on-the-make, a bloodsxcking, predatory humanitarian thug, and a low-down skunk.

He’s a fraud and a swindler. He lies when he inhales and he lies when he exhales; his oxygen is the falsification of reality. He lies, placidly and laconically, as if deception were a soporific drug.

He’s a friend of the poor and the downtrodden --- indeed, you can hear the milk of human kindness sloshing around inside of him when he walks.

He declares himself the post-racial leader --- “Let me be clear!” he intones --- and he hides behind his race, daring his critics to put their reputation for fairness at risk.

He pauses to ponder the portent of his propaganda --- and it is fakery; he smiles and his mendacity comes shining through. Shake hands with Barak Hushpuppy OhBummer --- “The Mistake of ‘08” --- the illegal alien squatter in the White House until his “papers” have been lab-tested for age and chemicals, etc --- the community organizer of the OhBummer Wrecking Crew, the Fleabagger-in-Chief, the King of The Republic of Lies --- and America’s first and last Arab president. Now count your fingers.

SAM ADAMS IS MORE THAN JUST A GREAT YANKEE BEER!

TAX HATER SAMUEL ADAMS, ON A ROLL AND ARMED TO THE TEETH, AUGUST, 1776……

"You darkeners of counsel, who would make the property, lives and religion of millions depend on the evasive interpretations of musty parchments; who would send us to antiquated charters of uncertain and contradictory meaning, to prove that the present generation are not bound to be victims to cruel and unforgiving despotism, tell us whether our pious and generous ancestors bequeathed to us the miserable privilege of having the rewards of our honesty, industry, the fruits of those fields which they purchased and bled for, wrested from us at the will of men over whom we have no check.

"Contemplate the mangled bodies of your countrymen, and then say, What should be the reward of such sacrifices? Bid us and our posterity bow the knee, and supplicate the friendship, and plough, and sow, and reap, to glut the avarice of the men who have let loose on us the dogs of war to riot in our blood and hunt us from the face of the earth? If you love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom – go from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.

“Courage, then, my countrymen, our contest is not only whether we ourselves shall be free, but whether there shall be left to mankind an asylum on earth for civil and religious liberty. Dismissing, therefore, the justice of our cause, as incontestable, the only question is, What is best for us to pursue in our present circumstances?”

“It does not take a majority to prevail….but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men.”

“Among the natural rights of the colonists are these: first a right to life, secondly to liberty, and thirdly to property; together with the right to defend them in the best manner they can.”

“The Constitution shall never be construed… to prevent the people of the United States who are peaceable citizens from keeping their own arms.”
