Once again, I have to ask, why are these secret phone call strategy sessions not a matter of public discussion? That the White House is orchestrating media messages with the supposedly independent press corps, is it nothing to raise an eyebrow about?

The MSM has shirked its responsibility to a watchdog over the political process. The foxes, or should I say weasels, are now guarding the hen house. Obama can manage the message and put a media cloak over any malignantly dangerous program or law he wants to pass.

The attack on Limbaugh is shameless and arrogant. Luckily, Rush can take it and he can come back at them. The bigger strategy here is that the Obamulans will use this as part of their argument that we need some type of “Fairness Doctrine” to shut down the “hate speech” of people like Limbaugh.

because WE know what is happening and Rush etc are quite prepared to shut down the SMEAR being made in the WH….Hey Rahm….WE ARE ON TO YOU!

Since Emanuel has dubbed him “The Voice of the Republican Party” Rush ought to send a message to all the major media outlets especially Schieffer but including NPR and Leherer, asking them why it is they are not contacting him for interviews when they want the Republican point of view. Or else why they aren’t scoffing at Emanuel.

What exactly is “right-wing extremism”?
When a liberal or a media type says it they are talking about Timothy McVeigh and people who bomb abortion clinics as if that was some sort of GOP platform.They talk about the right-wing as if we are all secret Klan members or are forcing people to pray at gun point.
It’s a caricature.

We need to take that phrase back from them and make it ours.

…so who cares what the MSM is saying about Rush. Last time I checked, Rush’s advertisers aren’t bailing on him. The free market is determining that socialist news outlets are unpopular and, indeed, useless.

So, who really cares what takes place in a private conversation between four increasing irrelevant political hacks? I am more concerned with what elected Republicans and our weekend pundits say on the Sunday shows. They should not be distracted by questions references Rush. I would like them to say that “Rush Limbaugh is a private citizen who is entitled to his own opinion. I love Rush Limbaugh. I love free speech. I embrace the conservative movement because I believe it is the best way forward for our country.”

Going on air and arguing about who is leading our party isn’t helping in our districts. Our congressional representatives and senators should be at home speaking to their constituents every chance they get (speaking & listening) instead of getting cornered by the looney left on these dumb shows.

Two points –

It’s only aquibble, but why do you call them “Secret” phone call sessions? It seems they’re not much of a secret at all.

More important is —
“These Obama strategists think that making Rush the “voice of the GOP” will drive away moderates and make the GOP seem to be leaning toward right-wing extremism.”

That is exactly what they’re doing, and it’s working. The minority of voters that think ditto of Rush seem immune to understanding the negative effect he has on the Republican Party. Thus Rahm and his buddies in the press push Rush as the de facto leader as another step toward marginalizing the party. Then Steele has to grovel for the leadership mantle that Rush and his white-bread followers don’t want Steele to have. A weakened Steele and strengthened Rush is good for Obama.

I give credit where credit is due — Rahm knows how to do the down and dirty mucking to forward his boss’ agenda. The Republicans can either cry and whine about it, or grow a set and go after him.

I keep wondering why the activity of the White House is not being called abuse of power. A daily phone conference with a select group of so called journalists in the media to ‘stay on target’ politically seems to be a major absue of power and doesn’t belong in a Democracy. I expect it from the Russian leaders – - they’re quite familiar with controlling the press and it seems if they can’t they just murder them in the streets. Maybe since the New York times is tanking, they can ‘nationalize’ it. Then they would have an outlet without the mandatory phone calls from Emanuel.

Why isn’t the rest of the ‘journalist’ crowd screaming with outrage over this?

Rush Limbaugh scares them because he represents millions who do not have a voice or a President that believes in representing ALL the people, not just a select few. Obama has racially polarized this country, created economic chaos, and insulted 1/2 the population – - all within days of his inauguration. What next? Reparations I’m sure is in the near future along with continuing tax hikes, lost liberties for Americans and the dumbing down of the country.

I am not surprised in the slightest at the flailing efforts of Rahm Emanuel, Steffie, The Forehead, and the Ragin’ Cajun Poboy. We all know that the media is absolutely partisan when it comes to the Democrats. They don’t do news anymore… the term is Propaganda. “Ferrously” Ironic though it is… Rahm Emanuel reminds me of Joseph Goebbels. Especially, with conference calls to the media networks to combat what in his mind is damaging publicity.

However, keep in mind folks that CNN, PMSNBC, and ABC all have ratings in the toilet. At any given time, Fox News’ ratings surpass all of them COMBINED. They are desperately trying to combat the impact of what Limbaugh’s speech had when it was broadcast IN ITS ENTIRETY on the most watched news network in the country.

I think they have an uphill battle with this one, but we in the trenches need to keep the message going.

Should any informed person who has cast a “thinking vote” instead of a “voting for change” ballot be surprised!

Politics in Washington, in the name of the people, has been disgraceful for so long, that some have become indifferent to the abuse pushed upon us in the name of change!

President “Strawman” Obama and “VP” Emanuel have brought the worst politics of Chicago to an already corrupt Washington, and it will only get worse.

Apparently the “congressional left wing socialists, the left media and the “K Street” crowd are approving this tactic now, has a means to reach the end. Controlling the media to push “their message and vision” upon the nation is not only dishonest, but dangerous and just the beginning.

Every day, Americans who watch the news and listen to the radio have to make a difficult decision has to the merits and truthfulness of every story and it’s meaning, they hear coming out of the left news outlets regarding our leaders and policy in Washington.

I will say again, this is a dishonest and a dangerous way to make policy change. Misinforming and being intellectually dishonest never servers the people of the nation well.

Tougher times are coming!

Rage against the machine (congress), let your state and federal officials know how you feel via phone, fax or e-mail!

You will not get to talk with them personally and you will recieve a “party boiler plate response”, but it will let them know how you feel.

A voter must think, what makes an elected official vote to approve massive legislation or any legislation without reading, debating or understanding the full context of the bill?

If we continue to accept this as responsible government, we will be nothing more than “cash cows” to this President and the “Pelosites” of congress.

MAY DAYS ARE COMING
” RAGE AGAINST CONGRESS” !
” RAGE AGAINST SOCIALISM”

… IMO… It will eventually backfire on the Liberal MSM and the Democrats… It is not Rush that will get through to these folks, but us as friends, neighbors, etc, as long as we are unashamed to speakup loud and proud and point out the Spin the MSM and ObamaBinBiden are putting forth…. To expose the continued (from campaign) double-speak and out-and-out lying (now direct from WH Press Conferences)… etc….
