UNFAIR RUSH JUDGMENT: ATTACKS ON TALK RADIO (scapegoating the amnesty flop)
NY POST ^ | June 30, 2007 | VOX POPULI

Posted on 06/30/2007 5:45:09 AM PDT by Liz

****The defiant liberals refer to Limbaugh as an entertainer......... Except for Fox News, all other TV stations are the liberal enemy. NAME REDACTED Bloomfield, N.J.

****......... how about finding balance in America's left-leaning universities, schools and history books? .......felt as if I were reading the "Communist Manifesto" and Mao's little red book every semester. Staten Island

**** Limbaugh has done for AM radio what Johnny Carson did for late-night TV - taken a listless segment of the entertainment industry and helped make it vital, profitable and very consequential. Setauket

The demise of amnesty means government OF, BY and FOR the people prevailed. This is a victory for Democracy-----all is well in the Republic. The Framers would be proud.

Course illegal invaders and border-crossers arrogantly assumed they were in control of OUR government, that they would prevail, and that they and their hyphenated groups would takeover OUR country.

Everyone connected with this atrocity had better sit up and take notice----including RNC chair Mel Martinez, Teddy Kennedy, Lindsey Graham, the gov't of Mexico and the rest of the hyphenated Mexican groups who signed on to undermining the sovereignity of the United States of America, and jeopardized its legal citizens.

Aye... and I think they would be frequent visitors to FreeRepublic as well... if not longstanding members.

Haha, I can just see the liberals crying out to everyone “PLEASE DON’T LISTEN TO RUSH OMG PLEASE! He’s...he’s j-just an....ENTERTAINER!”

They just can’t stand an opposing view to them.

Go Rush.

Right. 60% - 70% of The People were against shamnesty.

For that reason, it’s going to be tough to tar and feather any scapegoat. It won’t get traction on this issue.

Of course, there’s plenty of OTHER stuff for the Libs to try and scapegoat Rush & eeevil talk radio for...

“including RNC chair Mel Martinez”

He hasn’t learned a single thing — He still thinks that he was elected, not to represent the voters of Florida, but to “improve the lives” of illegal immigrants.

This clown needs to be introduced to the unemployment line, he won’t face reality on his own.

Actually Jim Robinson is a direct ideological descendant of Our Founders. :)

God Bless him for giving us this forum.

Prolly depends on where you sample.

I took a poll at a family reunion in Central Texas a month ago, and “strongly opposed to amnesty” was coming in at 110% - 115%! :-)

Sounds a lot like my relatives. As my sainted grannie always told us: “Be sure to vote early, and often!”

I was laughing at the Democrat (Obey) yesterday who said that Rush was just as important as Paris Hilton.

I was thinking yeah, you wish. Rush has given the Dems headaches more than once.

I am not so sure the liberals really expect to win on the unfairness doctrine. I think they just want to repeat to the public over and over that talk radio is biased and unfair. They want to weaken trust in conservative sources just like they have tried to do with Fox News. We should be sure we the public is reminded repeatedly which sources are biased in favor of the left (that very very long list) and then fine. Let everyone consider their sources. ABC, NBC, CBS, PBS and CNN are all arms of the Democrat Party. As is nearly every major newspaper and NPR. Repeat it often so people can consider the source.

Wow! Don't hurt your arm patting us on the back!

ALL IS NOT well in the Republic?!?!?!

Hello? We still have 20 million illegals and more every day. How are we going to get the exucutive office to enforce the border?

Stopping a bad bill in congress is good, but it was a choice between bad and worse, and so now we just have the same bad situation we've had since 1964, 1986 etc.

The truth is, to the Dems, Paris Hilton is MORE important than Rush. Free exchange of ideas is not welcome on that side of the aisle. They’d rather be doing mushrooms in clubs and letting their anointed run the country.

Scapegoating is correct. Both Parties must now go to their heavy contributors and do some 'splainin'. They have to have something to blame it on to keep that money flooding in.

The plan was perfect. Party leaders announce that a "comprehensive" solution has been worked out. The MSM extols the bipartisan accomplishment! All is as it should be.

Yes, a perfect plan -- a generation ago when the "Fairness Doctrine" restrictions made the MSM the gatekeepers of news and issues.

Now maybe those old guys in Washington get it.

We have a republican form of government and free speech and free press are back. Boy are they pissed and vow revenge.
