War on Dissent Updates
Posted by Gregory of Yardale at October 19, 2009 4:14 AM
The progressive left continues its war on Rush Limbaugh, FoxNews, and anyone else who questions Dear Reader. The left can't defeat our opinions with facts or reason, so they try to shut us down. They are terrified that people might hear something other than their version of events.
Item Number One: David Frum continues his Andrew Sullivanesque descent into madness. This time proposing, preposterously, that Rush Limbaugh has been faking his conservatism for the past 20 years. Blogger Five Feet of Fury (No, that's not Robert Reich [that would be four-and-a-half-feet of horsecrap]) responds to Frum's proposition.
It is more probable to liberals that a non-toxic gas emitted through cow farts is the cause of "global warming" rather than, say, that giant super mega hot round thing in the sky.
It is more probable to liberals that an anti-communist President was magically murdered throught the sheer power of free-floating right-wing hostility death rays concentrated within the 214 area code, rather than by a Marine sharp shooter turned communist traitor who'd just bought a mail order rifle and worked a few yards from the crime scene.
And it is more probable to liberals that Rush Limbaugh is just pretending to mean what he says.
Even while stoned on oxycontin and waking up profoundly deaf one morning, Limbaugh managed to deliver amazingly convincing yet secretly insincere improvised monologues for three hours a day, five days a week, for the last 22 years, on live radio, fooling an astonishing 20 million people at a time.
Frum also claims that Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck are sell-outs who would switch sides to the Progressive Left for the right price; which is rich coming from a guy who used to write for National Review before he switched sides in return for a book deal and a well-financed website of his own.
Item Number Two: ESPN host Michael Wilbon says that all African-Americans hate Rush Limbaugh. This may come as something of a surprise to Limbaugh's African-American guest hosts, Clarence Thomas (who performed Rush Limbaugh's wedding ceremony), Juan Williams and the Reverend Keith Hutcherson (who respond here), and Rush Limbaugh's African-American producer (who responds here).
Item Number Three: Even the left-wing New York Times thinks it was a bonehead maneuver for the Obama Administration to go after FoxNews. Does this mean the New York Times is racist, now?
Item Number Four: Socialist rag Newsweek fresh from proclaiming that Obama is god, we're all socialists now, we're all Hindus, too... says that FoxNews is Un-American, which is usually meant as a compliment in left-wing circles. Newsweak also features a gushing, sycophantic cover story on Joe Biden that could have been written by the White House Press office, and probably was.
Item Number Five: Race Hustling entrepreneur Al Sharpton is threatening to sue Rush Limbaugh for bringing to light Sharpton's involvement in Crown Heights riot (he called neighborhood Jews “diamond merchants") and the 1995 Freddie’s Fashion Mart riot. If Sharpton follows through, this could be epic, because under discovery, Rush would get access to all kinds of records Reverend Al probably doesn't want the public ever to see.
