Politics: Democrats say Rush Limbaugh is running the Republican Party. Better Rush than George Soros, who is running the Democrats. At least Rush believes in freedom, capitalism and letting you keep what you earn.
So much for disagreeing with what you say but defending to the death your right to say it. Voltaire could never be a contributor to Newsweek.
But David Frum is, and his inside cover story, "Why Rush Is Wrong," savages Limbaugh and praises President Obama in a way that makes one wonder if tingles are running up his leg like they did for MSNBC's Chris Matthews.
Frum describes a debate with, on one side, "the president of the United States: soft-spoken and conciliatory, never angry, always invoking the recession and its victims."
Never mind that Obama helped create the recession when the second-largest recipient of campaign funds from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac behind Chris Dodd helped pressure banks through his association with ACORN. The banks then made the very kind of risky loans that caused the mortgage meltdown.
On the other side, Frum places Limbaugh, with "his private plane and his cigars, his history of drug dependency and his personal bulk, not to mention his tangled marital history."
The perfect and athletic Mr. Frum forgot to blame Rush for inciting the Oklahoma City bombing, as many others on the left did.

It is time to seriously clean house on the conservative side. Our tent is full of two faced back stabbing liars and I’ve had enough of it.

RUSH IS RIGHT
IBD ROCKS!!!! WE’LL TAKE RUSH LIMBAUGH!

I presume that Frum’s article appears in the new slimmed down and very tony version of Newsweak that is only sent to a very selective readership plus a few dentist offices.
