		<description>Funny how the closer they get to power, how their &quot;real&quot; stripes start showing.

I may not be a Savage Fan... but he calls a spade a spade.  I don&#039;t really like Rush or Hannity much either.  

I listen to Beck... who, in the last year, has been attacked by media-matters more than Hannity and just a tad less than O&#039;Riley.

Beck has been right a lot lately... it&#039;s so over for the Republicans.  Our government is NOT serving the people.  The people know it.

The Dems are organized this time... only it&#039;s the wackjob code-pinko&#039;s and D.Kos &quot;Progressives&quot; and Soro&#039;s &quot;open boards&quot; crowd that are organizing.  Somone is pulling the strings and there seems to be too many connections here.  

Move-on has daily conference calls with Reid/Pelosi to talk &quot;strategy&quot;, Media-matters is funded by the same groups as move-on... and they always seem to coordinate their attacks to the Dems advantage... but were supposed to believe there is NO political connection?  Throw the ACLU in there and CAIR and we are being assaulted by special interest groups pushing a social agenda that a significant enough amount of Americans DO NOT WANT.  I&#039;d love to see a lawsuit requiring full disclosure of memo&#039;s, communiations, etc.

what we need is to vote out enough incumbant Republicans in the primaries and &quot;reset&quot; the party (i&#039;d prefer the entire gov&#039;t, but lets start here).  It is the only way.  People are going to vote for democrats (because they are NOT republican) and only realize what they have done AFTER they start us down the road to national suicide  (why can&#039;t I afford to drive, where is all my money going?&quot;, &quot;what is)</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;The problem is that those few conservatives on the radio truly speak for the masses that are busy working and paying taxes. For most to take the time to protest they would have to neglect their responsibilities (job, family, and numerous others). Silence those few and the voice of the normal folks will be gone. Just my thoughts, I could be wrong.

No, you&#039;re not wrong at all. The left simply can not stand up and refute the truth.

And that&#039;s exactly why the stalinist opposition on the left have made silencing the voices of truth and reason a priority. It&#039;s the only way they can win.</description>

		<description>There is a coordinated plan of attack on rightwing talk radio. Just as there will be a similar attack on this and other conservative blogs next.

They will do it using outright lies the way the left ALWAYS does. The Big Lie tactic was invented by Lenin an entire Decade before Hitler described its use in Mein Kampf.

&lt;blockquote&gt;&quot;Members and front organizations must continually embarrass, discredit and degrade our critics. When obstructionists become too irritating, label them as fascist, or Nazi or anti-Semitic .... The association will, after enough repetition, become &quot;fact&quot; in the public mind.&quot;
--Communist Party, Moscow Central Committee 1943&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Is what their doing &quot;freedom of speech?&quot;  No. There is NO PROTECTION in the First Amendment for defamation. None. Zip. The reason that Rush, O&#039;Reilly, Savage, et. al., cannot sue is because of the decision in NY Times v. Sullivan. This gives free rein to the Soros-funded front organizations to lie, smear, and attack without worry from defamation lawsuits. They know this and they are deliberately using this.

If they succeed in getting Limbaugh and O&#039;Reilly, et. al., off the air, they will turn their sights on this blog and every other conservative one. They have already started by referning to Michelle as a filipino whore (wonkette) and a neo-Nazi (American Politics Journal) on the web. Michelle runs two of the most read conservative blogs on the web. Therefore, she, and those of us who post here and at MM&#039;s blog, are in their gun-sights. 

Legally, they cannot impose a &quot;fairness doctrine&quot; upon the blogosphere. The First Amendment forbids it. However they can and will attack the infrastructure: pressuring the ISP hosting the servers, boycotting and pressuring the advertisers, and going after the ISPs of us posters (if they can identify us). I have no doubt that there have already been denial of service attacks against H/A and MM. I have no doubt that there have been (or will be) attempts to hack into both blogs.  And of course, they will lie, slander, defame, insult, and threaten all of us.

It&#039;s what BROWNSHIRTS do!

This is why it is essential to (1) denounce the attacks on all conservative talk show hosts, (2) denounce the leftwing sources of these attacks, and (3) use the IRS code to expose their violations and remove their tax exempt status. This fight isn&#039;t over, not by a long shot. And our cause is just: the preservation of plurality of opinion in America.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;The right wing is so dominant, Brock writes, that even if Democrats win the presidency this year “they still face the prospect of being brutally slammed and systematically slandered in such a way that will make governing exceedingly difficult.” The brutal conservative noise machine will keep going, Brock warns, “until its capacities to spread filth are somehow eradicated.”

The outright and complete projection in that quoted statement is stunning. 

They are terrified of, literally, a handful of outspoken people who would oppose their stalinist ambitions and actions.

And they are defintely doing their best to completely silence any dissent or disagreement at all. All on the way to establishing authorized and approved thoughts and actions.

The left regularly accuses the right of marching in lockstep. I&#039;m surprised they can hear anything over the cadence of their own goose-stepping.</description>

		<description>It seems people move to shut others up only when they expect their interests to be better secured by their making the attempt, while if they doubt their safety in playing the oppressor, they continue to hold that it&#039;s better to let others freely exercise their right to speak.  On such grounds, a fine slogan in support of freedom of speech seems to be, &quot;We&#039;ll speak freely or act freely.&quot;  And it seems good to prudently choose occasions and means to show the meaning and the truth of that slogan.  Freedom of speech is better than free-speech vigilantism.  That comparison seems so plainly true that fresh examples would be superfluous, and to merely speak of it would lead everyone to understand and agree.</description>

		<description>Savage is brilliant, incisive, wise, sarcastic, caustic and a nut job all at the same time. Sometimes he&#039;s on the mark, sometimes he&#039;s off the meter.

I would bet anyone who doesn&#039;t see that thinks Ann Coulter is mean.</description>

		<description>i can&#039;t for the life of me why some here defending Michael Savage. To be honest i&#039;m surprised this guy is still on the radio with some of the comments he makes. I would say in trying to defend conservative take show host, we should not lump all of them together, Savage is really the bottom of the barrell. I think the silly attack on Rush(and other conservatives) by the left can be defended on its own merits, without seaming Savage in</description>

		<description>No honest, intelligent individual who listened to the whole Rush segment about the phony soldier could have misinterpreted. What&#039;s going on in congress (including today from some slime rep from NY named Israel) is a concerted effort to destroy free speach through talk radio. They are being told to go out there and condemn Rush and being told what to say.  What alarms me most is not that it is happening or what they are saying but conservatives muted and careful, politically correct response to the lies. It appears most conservatives actually believe this is just a tide in their political fortunes and at some point things will just shift back the other way without radical and significant damage to our country.  The left throws the word &quot;fascist&quot; around constantly and all the conservatives do is say &quot;that&#039;s not treu and that&#039;s not nice&quot;. What they should be doing is pointing out that the lefts tactics and proposed policies are in fact, by definition , fascist.

It is 1932 Germany here in the United States and everyone is playing their roles perfectly.</description>

		<description>The left&#039;s Stalinist intent? Check this quote from Byron York&#039;s &quot;&lt;a href=&quot;http://article.nationalreview.com/?q=MjhjNGU4MThjOWEwMDczMjVhZmU4ZjRlMWY1ZTk0NTg=&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;The Real Media Matters: David Brock’s political operation&lt;/a&gt;&quot; at the NRO site today.

&lt;blockquote&gt;The right wing is so dominant, Brock writes, that even if Democrats win the presidency this year “they still face the prospect of being brutally slammed and systematically slandered in such a way that will make governing exceedingly difficult.” The brutal conservative noise machine will keep going, Brock warns, “&lt;strong&gt;until its capacities to spread filth are somehow eradicated&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;.”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;I see no real threat to freedom of speech in any of this, just mostly others exercising their freedom of speech.

Oooops.

Using free speech to threaten the silencing of others isn&#039;t a threat. Makes perfect sense. On Mars.</description>

		<description>Rush had a good point this AM. Media Matters is using him to raise money only to have it returned when they buy time on his affiliates.  If this keeps up this country is headed for all out rebellion centering around ideologies.  Move.On is in NH this AM prancing around the cities over SCHIP.  How I wish they&#039;d move on!!!!!</description>

		<description>To answer Bryan&#039;s question, I believe it is more a campaign than spontaneous. Both Moveon.org and MediaMaters are Clinton organizations, Mrs Clinton has admitted to starting the latter. Regardless of whether the smear on Rush was a retaliation, though I wouldn&#039;t doubt it, there seems to be an underlying strategy at work here. Perhaps it is in regards to the fairness doctrine, but I think it is something more sinister.

As Rush pointed out either yesterday or Tuesday, these liberals who are part of this smear stuff, et al, are behaving Stalinist-like. Government coercion on what is &quot;acceptable&quot; speech, or as Weseley Clark has proposed, a &quot;rating system&quot; for speech is Stalinist-like. (I prefer Stalinist-lite.)

It is good that Rush and talk radio have a new media to allow their views to get out to the public and counteract the action line by the MSM.</description>
