The Real Point of the Left’s Uproar over Limbaugh

Bruce Thornton  ...."Take everybody’s exhibit number one, the HBO blowhard Bill Maher, who’s on record calling Sarah Palin a “c—t” and inviting Jon Huntsman to “suck my d—k.” I don’t remember the President calling Palin or Hunstman to regret “that our political discourse has become debased,” as his flack Jay Carney put it. Nor is anyone demanding that Obama-supporting superpac Priorities USA Action should return the million bucks Maher gave it. Why should they? Remember when Obama called the Tea Party folks “tea-baggers,” a vulgar sexual term? “Appropriate” and “debased” are in the eye of the progressive beholder, and depend on the ideology of whoever is being attacked."
....

"Hence the progressive’s elevation of contraception and abortion into “rights,” which puts the necessary discussion of the obvious destructive consequences of sexual promiscuity out of bounds. But these “rights” have nothing to do with “women’s health” and everything to do with the progressive government’s aim of consolidating and increasing its power at the expense of other authorities, like churches, that might have something to say about the personally and socially destructive price of those “rights.” That’s the real significance of the uproar Rush Limbaugh caused: not his crudity or insensitivity, but calling attention to the centrality of sexual libertinism to the progressive agenda of increasing government power at the expense of individual freedom."

OBAMA: 'OPEN UP YOUR HEARTS AND YOUR MINDS' TO RACIALIST PROF

Big Government

OBAMA'S MENTOR: 'WE HID THIS THROUGHOUT 2008 CAMPAIGN'

"Well, we found it. And it is damaging, because Barack Obama was as close or closer to Derrick Bell than he ever was to Jeremiah Wright. Obama didn’t merely sit in the pews – or not -- for Derrick Bell. He didn’t just hang out with Derrick Bell for prayers. He said:"

“Open up your hearts and your minds to the words of Professor Derrick Bell.”

...."There’s far more coming on Derrick Bell. This is just the beginning. And this video is a smoking gun showing that Barack Obama not only associated with radicals, he was their advocate."

Black Quill and Ink: The Obama Puzzle....Pieces of Radicalism   "Below are several videos that address the issue of Obama’s radical agenda for America. For this agenda to be carried out it was necessary for Obama to place key people in positions of government. Obama achieved this by appointing radicals not only into his Cabinet but more specifically as Czar. By using the Czar route, Obama was able to completely by pass the Congress and our Constitutional confirmation process."

Obama's press conference commented upon

My version of Obama presser  "What I have seen is this one response from Obama claiming that the GOP candidates are “beating the drums of war” when it comes to Iran.  I would love for Obama to give one example of a Republican candidate who says that they want to go to war with Iran.  No one wants to go to war with Iran.  This is just Obama’s way of distracting from the real failure, which is his own failure to adequately deal with a nuclear-aspirant Iran.  From giving in to Russia on the missile defense shield in Eastern Europe, failing to support the Green revolution in Iran and being wishy-washy in our support for Israel, Barack Obama’s failures have led us to this unfortunate point."


 Obama takes aim at Limbaugh and Republican presidential candidates in White House 
press briefing  "Whether the topic was housing relief for Americans in the armed forces or whether Republicans are waging a "war on women" regarding the contraceptives issue ("women will make up their own minds on what they think is important"), Obama at the podium in the Briefing Room looked very much like Obama on the campaign trail.  It is likely that Americans will see and hear a lot more of the president in campaign mode in the coming weeks and months."


Interesting insight on some of the pro-Obama reporters in the White House. Norah O'Donnell once asked President Bush to apologize to the American People. See her reaction to Mr. Obama at the 28 second mark as the president disses Ed Henry. O'Donnell is sitting to Henry's right. Below is video of her reporting on Obama's visit to Ireland.
Lets see how her reporting on to the coming election campaign will go, though I'm sure she will be fair and balanced.

Randall Terry vs. Obama in Oklahoma

Randall Terry

Obama’s poor showing in Oklahoma  "President Barack Obama’s victory in Oklahoma’s Democratic primary was far less emphatic than typical for an incumbent president, and his poor showing in more than a dozen of the state’s counties threatened to cost him a unanimous re-nomination."

Randall Terry might keep Obama from unanimous renomination  "In other words, if Terry doesn’t release his delegates to vote for Obama, he could keep the incumbent president from unanimous renomination. That doesn’t change the substance of the 2012 race, but it’s still a little poke to Obama’s pride. In general, Terry’s success also demonstrates that pro-life Democrats are alive and well and appreciate the option to vote for someone who shares a fundamental view."


Anti-abortion activist might keep Obama from unanimous re-nomination  "The president has little chance of carrying Oklahoma in the fall. In 2008, he lost the state to GOP contender Sen. John McCain (Ariz.) 66 percent to 34."

The unabashed hypocrisy of the left; why no outrage in the press?

SCHAKOWSKY REFUSES TO CONDEMN MISOGYNISTIC LANGUAGE FROM TOP OBAMA DONOR

"Two days ago Jan Schakowsky released a statement condemning Rush Limbaugh for his remarks on Sandra Fluke:"

“I strongly condemn the personal and vicious remarks made by Rush Limbaugh and conservative commentators this week about Sandra Fluke, a heroic young woman who is speaking out for her peers about their right to birth control.  The behavior of those leaders from the right can only be classified as misogynistic, offensive, and a deliberate attempt to distract us from the legitimate argument about the consequences of limiting access to contraception.   Rush Limbaugh repeatedly used sexually-charged, patently offensive, and obscene language to malign Sandra’s character.....

"She was asked by a citizen journalist whether or not she would condemn one of President Obama's biggest donors who called Sarah Palin and Michele Bachmann, personally, exponentially worse. When presented with the opportunity, Conresswoman Schakowsky refused. "   Video below: 

When Life Gives You Electric Lemons...  "The president added that if his girls are ever called before Congress to testify (which we're giving better than even odds), he wouldn't "want them attacked or called horrible names when they’re being good citizens."
"Unlike Sarah Palin, presumably, who was called a "c*nt" and "tw*t" by Bill Maher, who just gave Barry $1 million with which to run attack ads on Republicans. Of course, there's NO WAY that Obama would keep money from a man who thinks so little of women (like his wife and daughters), so he's giving it all back. When Hell freezes over."

Power Line: THE PARTY OF HATE  "Millions of Americans voted for Barack Obama in the hope that he would be a trailblazer who would conduct the presidency in a new way. Well, he has: Obama has been the most divisive president in our modern history, unabashedly stirring up hate against not only his political enemies, but against private citizens who exercise their right to participate in our democracy. The most recent hatefest has been directed against Rush Limbaugh, and Obama has personally stirred the pot."
...."Barack Obama has been a terrible president in many ways, but perhaps his most poisonous legacy is his cynical fomenting of partisan hate to advance his own political interests. After three years, we have learned that “hope” is not the word that we should associate with the Obama presidency."

Rush Limbaugh:  Clearing Up Misinformation on Our Sponsors   "Nobody is losing money here, including us, in all this. And that is key for you to understand. They are not canceling the business on our stations. They're just saying they don't want their spots to appear in my show. We don't get any revenue from 'em anyway. The whole effort is to dispirit you. It's to make you think the left is being successful in its campaign when it isn't. In fact, the left is so fed up, they can't see straight. They thought they had me. They thought I would be off the air by now. They can't understand why I still am on the air. There is also another rumor going around that I am going to be suspended for a week. It is utter BS."
After that, Rush moves on to this topic:  Barack Obama's Oil Lies are Rooted in His Contempt for the United States of America;  

Two percent of the world's reserves, and yet we use 20%, and, boy, are we evil, we are selfish.  See, we need to cut back and stop this.  We need to stop taking other people's oil.  Well, of course we don't.  We buy it.  It's another thing.  We're not stealing it.  We're buying it from willing sellers.  There's nothing immoral whatsoever about us using 20% of the world's oil, if we pay for it.  Nothing immoral whatsoever, and I can't tell you how I resent this man's effort day in and day out to somehow say otherwise.  

"Conservative talk radio host Rush Limbaugh is being targeted by multiple death threats after President Barack Obama and the Democratic Party ignored his apology for controversial remarks and continued to single him out for rebuke. The assault has become so nakedly partisan and opportunistic that even HBO host Bill Maher--who recently donated $1 million to Obama's Super PAC--has called it a witch hunt with intimidation as its goal."

Hate and Bile: Left-Wing Attacks on Women Get Little Press  "That’s laughable coming from those who’ve ignored or excused attacks from the left against conservative women like Sarah Palin, Michele Bachmann, Michelle Malkin*, Ann Coulter and Carrie Prejean. Liberals slime conservative women regularly, usually in language far worse than Limbaugh used. And they are seldom, if ever, held to account for sexual, violent misogynistic speech. Conservative women – whether pundits, politicians or even politicians’ wives – are fair game to the left.
Here are some of the worst examples of attacks on conservative women in recent years."... "Editor’s note – This article contains graphic language, sometimes of an extremely sexual nature." 


*Michelle Malkin: The War on Conservative Women  "It was Keith Olbermann, then at MSNBC and now at Al Gore's Current TV, who wrote on Twitter that columnist S.E. Cupp was "a perfect demonstration of the necessity of the work Planned Parenthood does" and who called me a "mashed up bag of meat with lipstick on it." He stands by those remarks. Olbermann has been a special guest at the White House."

IS SANDRA FLUKE COORDINATING WITH THE WHITE HOUSE?  "As The Daily Caller recently exposed, there's been a high level of coordination between the White House and Media Matters for America, so of course it's no shock that Ms. Fluke chose MMFA as her leftist propaganda arm of choice."

OBAMA ALLY WON'T RELEASE ALINSKY TAPE

Hillary Clinton studied and 
has used the soul less tactics 
of Saul Alinsky to destroy 
political enemies.

Breitbart  "Mainstream journalists have attempted to dismiss yesterday's column by Andrew Breitbart about the play  by claiming that Obama had merely attended the production--a defense hinted at by Chicago Reader columnist Michael Miner's initial column. 
"However--as even Miner noted--Obama did not merely attend the play; he was featured on the poster and in the panel discussion that followed.

"So, if the play’s so harmless, why are Obama’s allies hiding it? 

"Why not release the video tape?"

Conflict is the essential core of a free and open society. If one were to project the democratic way of life in the form of a musical score, its major theme would be the harmony of dissonance.

Stirewalt: ‘If Romney Wins Tonight, White House Democrats Will Be Concerned’

FOX News Network  "Stirewalt believes Obama is trying to split the headline for tomorrow’s newspapers with the news about Mitt Romney on Super Tuesday.

"He thinks Americans need to realize that the sooner it ends on the Republican side of the presidential race, the sooner the future nominee starts fighting with President Obama, and he believes the Obama Administration is “extremely conscious of Mitt Romney.” "

Hey Mr. President. Where's my phone call?

reddogreport

Sally Zelikovsky   "I'm a daughter and a mother, but I didn't get one phone call  when I was called a mobster, a terrorist, a nazi, a tea bagger, a homophobe and a racist.  Where was the President when conservatives started protesting the bailouts, stimulus, jobs bill and ObamaCare and had their integrity and intellect attacked on every level?  Where was the phone call to Sarah Palin for being called a MILF or to Laura Ingraham for being called a slut?"
...."You might not want to judge Rush Limbaugh but your silence in regard to invectives hurled by Democrats and liberals at conservatives demonstrates your complicity in passing judgment on the rest of us as racist, homophobic, tea bagging neanderthals.  I'm waiting."

Aborting Hitler

Life News:  NYU; Margaret Sanger

Mike Adams   (From Judgment at Nuremberg) "After pausing for a moment, the condemned Nazi judge says of the millions of dead Jews, “Those millions of people. I never knew it would come to that.” Spencer Tracy, playing the American judge, responds with one of the most profound lines of his storied acting career saying, “It came to that the first time you sentenced a man to death you knew to be innocent.”"
...."That has been the story of the American Holocaust as well. It began in 1966 in my native state of Mississippi. Just two years after I was born, a law was passed that made it legal to abort in the case of rape or incest. But then, the very next year, Colorado passed legislation allowing abortion in cases of rape, incest, or threat to the health of the mother.
...."It is fitting that it all began in Mississippi. We have a legacy of executing innocents by denying their personhood. It happened with slavery. It happened again with abortion. Now we have learned to justify our own Holocaust. We didn’t need Hitler after all."

Rush Limbaugh compared to the civility of the liberals

Rick Moran: 'Their God keeps smashing them into little grease spots'
It was indeed uncivil for Rush Limbaugh to refer to Ms. Flake as a slut. He should follow the example of liberal radio show hosts like this one whose reasoned dialogue puts conservatives to shame.

RUSH LIMBAUGH EXPLAINS WHY HE APOLOGIZED: ‘IN FIGHTING THEM I BECAME LIKE THEM’

(Video) FLUKE SNUBS RUSH APOLOGY: 'READ MEDIA MATTERS   "I feel this issue is distracting us from the real issues.  The left has been able to spin religious freedom into birth control and somehow women's health.  Taking a pill that manipulates women's hormones is somehow healthy?  It is easy to get sucked in to this fringe issue.  Remember when George Stephanopoulos first injected this issue into the debate?  Remember how ridiculous he sounded?  Now, here we are taking the bait.  We are "battling" a very devious democrat machine.  People like this need to be ingnored and this story needs to go away."   From the comments to this article.

Alexa Shrugged:  Call Them Out By Name: Sandra Fluke, David Gregory and David Friend  "This is war.  I am going to defend Limbaugh from the radical Leftists who want to take him off the air.  And I am going to call out our opponents by name.  
"....Before they made the decision to pull their ads, Friend said that "the outcry over Limbaugh is the worst we’ve ever seen."  Well, Dittoheads, let's make the outcry over them dropping Limbaugh the worst they've ever seen!  Here is Carbonite's contact page, and be sure to Tweet them and Facebook them!"  (Some emphasis added)


 David Limbaugh:  Rush: At the Tip of Liberty's Spear   "What is a much bigger story is that the left's primary interest here is not in protecting Fluke -- in my humble opinion. Liberals are attempting to exploit this as another opportunity to destroy Rush through a calculated, organized Saul Alinsky-type community organizing campaign to pressure and intimidate his advertisers into discontinuing their sponsorship of his show.
"I am watching them operate on Twitter and other social networks, and their viciousness is palpable. They didn't want Rush's apology, which they absolutely refuse to accept. They want his scalp. And they've wanted his scalp for years because he is the most effective and influential spokesman for the conservative cause."

NRO: In Defense of Rush  "To Georgetown University’s president who found time in his busy schedule to publicly attack Rush.... how about acting like the leader of a Catholic university and telling the young woman that her public whining was an embarrassment to the university she claims to represent?"

Bozell Letter to CNN's Piers Morgan: Coverage of Limbaugh Apology Is a Double Standard   "And it’s not just CNN. Limbaugh has been singled out and condemned across the national media – ABC, CBS, NBC, CNBC, MSNBC, NPR, PBS, Associated Press, The New York Times, The Washington Post, the Los Angeles Times, and USA Today. How many of these outlets have condemned Bill Maher with equal vigor for his attacks on Palin? How many of these outlets condemned him at all? Ed Schultz called Laura Ingraham a “slut” on his radio show. MSNBC suspended him for a week, but none of Schultz’s advertisers dropped his show under media pressure. There was no pressure. Some of the same sponsors now pulling out of Rush’s show still support Schultz."

It’s just too bad Rush Limbaugh isn’t a member of the Democrat-media complex.  "This whole Sandra Fluke incident never would have seen the light of day.
"Here’s a video that shows just a few of the horrible misogynist attacks by left-wing heroes on conservative women… Women who did nothing to deserve the attacks other than to profess their conservatism and love for America."  Listen for the word "slut". We make no effort to censor the speech of these liberals because we want you to fully appreciate their vitriol and to know how they regard 50% of America's people.
