A Tale of Two Soundbites/ Which one sounds “divisive” to you?

Mark Steyn, NRO= "Rush Limbaugh is so “divisive” that to get him fired leftie agitators have to invent racist soundbites to put in his mouth.But the White House communications director is so un-divisive that she can be invited along to recommend Chairman Mao as a role model for America’s young.....“Mao’s responsibility for the extinction of anywhere from 40 to 70 million lives brands him as a mass killer greater than Hitler or Stalin.”...."Rush Limbaugh’s remarks are “divisive”; Anita Dunn’s are entirely normal. But don’t worry, the new Fairness Doctrine will take care of the problem." Emphasis added.

Rush Limbaugh: "The Race Card, Football and Me"

WSJ By RUSH LIMBAUGH "...There is a contempt in the news business, including the sportswriter community, for conservatives that reflects the blind hatred espoused by Messrs. Sharpton and Jackson. "Racism" is too often their sledgehammer. And it is being used to try to keep citizens who don't share the left's agenda from participating in the full array of opportunities this nation otherwise affords each of us.

More recently, it was employed against patriotic citizens who attended town-hall meetings and tea-party protests. "These intimidation tactics are working and spreading, and they are a cancer on our society. "

Confusions of the Age

by Victor Davis Hanson "But with the Limbaugh matter, the entire Potemkin edifice is exposed. The race mongers Jackson (‘hymie-town”) and Sharpton (“white folks was in caves…”), the latter whose incendiary antics defamed a DA and led to rioting and death, talking of decorum is like, well, NFL players talking about proper role-model behavior. And are proper politics now, in this brave new world of government control of an increasing number of businesses, criteria for private enterprise?"

Three from American Thinker on Rush Limbaugh

White House Fox News basher names her favorite philosopher: It's Mao

By Rick Moran "Beyond ideology is the idea that the Obama White House must "sell" his radical agenda. Mao used the barrel of a gun. Obama uses soothing rhetoric and staged presentations to hide his far left programs, thus making them more palatable for people to digest. Either way, it spells disaster."

Iranian Dissidents Speak Out

By Max Boot "John Hannah, has an interesting op-ed in the L.A. Times that challenges the conventional wisdom that stiffer sanctions and, even more so, military action would only unite the Iranian people around their regime. That’s not the message he received from a gathering of Iranian dissidents in Europe last week. Their view..."

Lighter guns, more dead tangos

Blackfive "U.S. Army infantry units are fighting in the mountains of Afghanistan with a special operations forces machine gun that’s 30 percent lighter than the standard M240B but still packs the killing power of 7.62mm NATO."...."Dave Hall, a retired Navy SEAL team senior chief petty officer, described the MK 48 as “simple to operate, simple to take apart” and “very, very reliable.”"

National Review "experts" out of their lanes

Uncle Jimbo in Blackfive "Andy McCarthy is a brilliant legal mind and one of the top strategists in our battles against terror in the courts. He prosecuted the blind sheikh and continues to work toward policies that enable us to dismantle terror networks and deal with captured terrorists. On military strategy and tactics, not so much."
