Two-Pronged Attack on Limbaugh/O'Reilly

Two things immediately come to mind concerning the attacks this week on Rush Limbaugh and Bill O'Reilly.

First, the notions that Limbaugh is 'against our troops' as the Democratic leadership in Congress claims, and that Bill O'Reilly is a racist as some in the mainstream media claim, are so completely ludicrous as to be laughable. Over the past 20 years as America's premier radio talk show host, no one has been more supportive of the American military than Rush Limbaugh. And those who know Bill O'Reilly know that the man is nowhere near being a racist.

These charges make those who claim them look like buffoons who cannot be taken seriously.

That would be no problem at all were it not for the fact that the nation's top Democrats are saying these things, from Harry Reid, to Hillary Clinton, to Tom Harkin, and many more. Their charges against Rush Limbaugh are so utterly over-the-top as to render the entire lot irrelevant.

Second, it is important to keep in mind who is bankrolling these types of character assassinations. The same money that is behind Moveon.org and its Petraeus-bash is also behind the orchestrated attacks on Limbaugh and O'Reilly.

Media Matters is part of the same network of ultra-leftwing organizations that include Moveon.org. It was Media Matters that took O'Reilly's statement out of context and labeled him a racist--a story picked up by CNN without even thoroughly checking out the veracity of the story.

Both Media Matters and Moveon.org get much of their funding from atheist Democrat billionaire operative George Soros.

Democrats depend on these groups for the majority their political campaign cash. And thus, while the country desperately needs leadership from Congress on a variety of issues of crucial importance to our future, the Democratic leadership spends taxpayers' money to go on a character assassination spree against two conservative talk show personalities.

Many inside the Beltway believe that this is only the first step, a dark foreshadowing of what is to come if the Democrats gain the White House. The Fairness Doctrine, as it is envisioned by Democrats, is designed to silence conservative voices in the media.

For example, with Hillary in the White House and the Democrats in Control of both Houses of Congress, there would be nothing to stop the march toward implementing the Fairness Doctrine, which would force Limbaugh, O'Reilly, Hannity, and many more off the air.

Thus, once again the Leftwing will be in complete control of all media as it was from the 1940s until the 1990s.

Perhaps the Democrats in Congress and on the campaign trail for the Presidency are underestimating the American people. The citizens have already seen the garbage, and therefore they are giving Congress the lowest approval rating in history--a mere 11%.

Further, a backlash occurred against the Democrats with the Moveon-Petraeus ad. We can reasonably expect yet another backlash as apparently the Dems have lost not only their political compass but their minds as well.

As the old political saying goes, these character assassinations 'will not play in Peoria.'

I found your blog through a favorite book we have in common. Is I Heard the Owl Call My Name really one of your favorites? The one written by Margaret Craven?


I didn't know that anyone else even knew about this book, but there are over 50 bloggers who list it as one of their favorites.


I was given it as a gift back in 1973. My supervising teacher gave it to me for Christmas the year I was student teaching in Seattle.


I enjoyed your post about the attack on conservative commentators. I have been following it some.


Thank you for speaking out on these important issues related to our liberty. We have no idea how precious freedom is. We so take it for granted.

Donna,

Yes, that's the one. The book had a profound influence on my life. It was required reading for a course I was taking for a Master's Degree back in the 1970s.

Thanks for your kind words about the blog. And I agree, liberty is precious and fragile. I am compelled to speak to its defense, given that it's enemies abound both at home and abroad.

Best wishes to you, and thanks for reading.
