Senate Democrats: “We Demand Rush Limbaugh Be Taken Off The Air”…UPDATED Thursday, 9/18

Rush Limbaugh strikes back at DCCC  "A representative for Rush Limbaugh is accusing the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee of intentionally lying about the radio host's remarks in "a disturbing and cynical attempt to fundraise from the serious problem of sexual abuse."

" 'The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee emails about Rush Limbaugh are an intentional lie, using 10 words carefully selected from his full comments to imply the opposite of what he actually said," Brian Glicklich, a spokesperson for Limbaugh, told POLITICO on Wednesday."

... "But the quote was just a tiny fragment of a segment that dealt with an ESPN analyst who said men must be reprogrammed. As usual, the George Soros-funded Media Matters took a comment out of context to create an issue where there was none. Naturally, the liberal hate machine ran it without providing the full context -- or a link to what Limbaugh actually said -- and now Democrats say Limbaugh must be silenced and pulled off the air." ...

Remember Harry Reid's "phony soldier" campaign against Rush that blew up on him?

Weasel Zippers

Rush
 
"Yesterday, House Dems called for boycotting Rush’s sponsors, today their Senate counterparts kicked it up a few notches by calling for him to be taken off the air immediately."

The 7 Most Despicable Ways Liberals Have Attacked Sarah Palin

7 Ways Conservative Activists Are Harassed By The Left   Such as:   " ...Ali Akbar, President of the National Bloggers Club, recently had a picture of his mother’s house posted online along with her address. Karl Rove actually had hundreds of left-wing thugs trampling through his yard, banging on the windows, and they terrified his two sons so badly they cried. After a campaign of harassment by the Communications Workers of America, Tabitha Hale had someone break into her house. Michelle Malkin once moved because of harassment."

David Letterman has admitted that his apology to former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin for a crude joke he told about her daughter was less than contrite.

... "given the vulgar comments that the left often makes about Sarah Palin (who recently celebrated her 50th birthday), Nikki Haley, and other politically conservative women, 
there may be a war on women waged by Democrats.

The Buckley Program Stands Up for Free Speech

Bruce S. Thornton

... "The Buckley Program is a rare instance of an academic organization staying true to the ideals of free speech, academic freedom, and the “free play of the mind on all subjects,” as Matthew Arnold defined liberal education. Most of our best universities have sacrificed these ideals on the altar of political correctness and identity politics. Anything that displeases or discomforts campus special interest groups––mainly those predicated on being the alleged victims of American oppression–– must be proscribed as “slurs” or “hateful,” even if what’s said is factually true. No matter that these groups are ideologically driven and use their power to silence critics and limit speech to their own self-serving and duplicitous views, the modus operandi of every illiberal totalitarian regime in history. The spineless university caves in to their demands, incoherently camouflaging their craven betrayal of the First Amendment and academic freedom as “tolerance” and “respect for diversity.' ”...
 
I found the Yale Muslim Students Association website, typed "Ayaan Hirsi Ali" into the search box and got - if I may use a Yiddish word - bupkis

Hirsi Ali speaks at Yale despite protests from the Yale Humanists.   "Muhammad Syed, the co-founder and Executive Director of Ex-Muslims of North America has some strong words about this, the most succinct of which were:
I believe the Yale Muslim Students Association should be ashamed of their attempt to silence Hirsi Ali, and the Yale Humanists should be ashamed for being complicit in the effort.
Syed
There is no doubt that Hirsi Ali has made comments that are often deemed inflammatory to Muslims. Although I find myself often disagreeing with her stances, I admire her courage and stamina. No one has shed light on the barbaric practices continued in the name of Islam as forcefully as she has. The fact that she is one of the only ex-Muslims speaking out about these kinds of practices is not evidence that the abuse is rare or confined to small fundamentalist communities. Rather, it is evidence of the censure and targeting of those who are willing to speak frankly about Islam and demand change in the Muslim world.    
 In California, her free speech could be denied by the "heckler's veto"  " ...student speech could be restricted if “school authorities [can reasonably] forecast substantial disruption of or material interference with school activities” stemming from the speech."
 

YOUR 'TO DO' LIST TO SAVE AMERICA


Ann Coulter  "The most important words printed in The New York Times since "REAGAN EASILY BEATS CARTER" were from a front-page article last Sunday about how, after six years of Obama, the federal judiciary is now dominated by Democratic appointees. Edward Whelan, head of the Ethics and Public Policy Center, responded to this by saying: "The best way for conservative voters to prevent further damage to the courts is to swing the Senate to Republican control in the elections this November."

   " He's absolutely right. Turn that into a mnemonic, sew it on needlepoint pillows, include it in your wedding vows, right-wingers. For the next six weeks, nothing matters more to the country than Republicans taking a majority in the Senate. When it comes to politics, conservatives need to learn one thing from liberals: All that matters is winning.

    "Here's a preliminary report on where the election stands and my assignments." ...

Full article. Be sure to read her final point about these third party candidates - any of them. A vote for a third party candidate is a vote for Democrat judges all the way up the ladder.

... "The biggest current danger for Republicans is that idiots will vote for Libertarian candidates in do-or-die Senate elections, including Kentucky, Kansas, North Carolina and Colorado. (That's in addition to the "Independent" in Kansas who's a Democrat.) Democratic candidates don't have to put up with this crap -- they're even trying to dump the official Democrat in Kansas to give the stealth Democrat a better shot.

"When we're all dying from lack of health care across the United States of Mexico, we'll be deeply impressed with your integrity, libertarians.

   "Which brings me to my final assignment this week: If you are considering voting for the Libertarian candidate in any Senate election, please send me your name and address so I can track you down and drown you. "

Dear Mrs. South,
Nothing I could write can express the sympathy we hold for you or make less the grief you bear at the loss of your son Private First Class Joe Lloyd South.
Regulations do not permit my giving any details of your son's death at this time, but I wish to say that all of us who served with him knew him as a fine Marine and friend, respected and liked by both officers and men. Having him no longer with us is a real and personal loss. There is consolation only in the knowledge he gave his life for his God and country and for all the things he himself held dear.
May I express again my deepest sympathies and those of your son's comrades in this company. Please feel free to write if I may be of any service.Sincerely
Doug WychoffCaptain USMCCommanding OfficerB Co 7th Marines

Tell me again: why do you want to be a "journalist"?

Poll: Black & White Ferguson Residents Agree - Media Made Things Worse   .... "The media didn't care about facts, so injustices was manufactured -- just so a bunch of elite, rich, predominantly white, leftwing  cable news anchors and reporters could grandstand and pretend they are Down With The Struggle.

"This poll won't matter. No one in the elite media gives a damn about the residents of Ferguson. The media storm was never about making anyone's life better. It was about preening and politics and pretty pictures of burnt out buildings. The media fed the mob at the expense of the people. And they can't wait to do it again."

CNN Reporter asks Obama biased question – “Are GOP candidates uninformed, out of touch, or irresponsible?”    Video
"Wow, you’d think Lothian would have been more subtle about his bias, especially since he is strictly functioning as a news reporter. I would have expected a question framed with “do you agree with…?” or simply “what are your thoughts about this?”. But he exposed himself as many others have, and now we know.  Video


On the New York Times: Gray Lady Suffers Malaise   ... "Fair enough, but consider the source — over the past 12 years, the New York Times, when not going on benders on the evils of golf courses and air conditioning, and publishing outright fabulism, has, more recently, published pieces calling for the end of the US Constitution, and mocking the “fervid subsets of evangelical Christianity” of its presidential candidates — only, upon further review, to discover that these extreme worldviews are Catholicism, Lutheranism and Mormonism, bedrock religions of America’s history. .... And of course, in 2008, it went all-in to champion a man who was clearly not ready to be president, to the point of actively burying potentially damaging stories about him and refusing to run op-eds from his opponent." ...   Emphasis mine, TD
