A Reason for Concern

As I've said repeatedly, not a Rush fan. But we should all be concerned over the orchestrated witch hunt being perpetrated against Rush Limbaugh - he's a private citizen being targeted by the White House - with the help of the MSM, of course....

FLASHBACK >
WH Secret Phone Conferences Bear Fruit With TV Media's Limbaugh Attack


Back on January 29, we discussed the daily strategy phone call engineered by Obama's Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel for friendly TV commentators and "reporters." Politico reported that Emanuel has a daily phone conference call with ABC's George Stephanopoulos, and CNN's James Carville and Paul Begala. With Rush Limbaugh's raucous CPAC address, as he termed it his "first address to the nation," we can see at least one example of what is likely an attack strategyresulting from the Emanuel phone session with a rush to bash Rush the day after the appearance.

As soon as the sun rose on the day after Limbaugh's CPAC appearance, three of the four of the phone call participants attacked Limbaugh with the same talking points. It seems obvious that they coordinated their attack together in the Obama secret strategy session. It is amazing that a president's staff can have such power over major media figures without a peep being heard from those that only months ago bashed former presidents over a perceived undue, even "dangerous," control of the media.
