Washington Times ^ | 10-4-07 | Jennifer Harper

Posted on 10/04/2007 4:49:27 PM PDT by dynachrome

Democrats on both coasts have authored official resolutions condemning Michael Savage and Rush Limbaugh this week, turning partisan disagreements over content and style into a matter of public record and raising potential questions about First Amendment rights.

The errant Senators need to be called out to do this outside the safe harbor of the Senate chamber.

If the libs want to put Conservative talk show hosts out of business, they should take their material away by not doing and saying stupid things.

But then they'd be Republicans.

The are simply demonstrating to all how petty and criminally politically vengeful they are.

As mad as Captain Ahab chasing the white whale.

I guess we shall see how much lower their approval numbers can go.

Now they’re going to slime Rush by tying him in with Savage. I’ll bet you hear those two names together a lot in the MSM.

They’ll never even report that Savage doesn’t like Rush at all.

I doubt Rush knows who Savage is, so it’s hard to know how he might feel about Savage.

This means our efforts must be working.

Why else would they waste so much time and resources on this "Pin the Tail on the Conservative" campaign.

After their failed attempt at liberal radio, their only alternative is to quash conservative radio.

Don’t forget the letter Senate Democrats signed complaining when David Broder wrote that Harry Reid should resign. These people are as liberal as Stalin and only slightly more leftist.

Heck, Doc Savage’s main feud is with Levin, anyway, but Limbaugh is the big dog on the block.

As I have been warning other freepers, Pol Pot II will stop at nothing to ascend what she believes is her divine right. She will dispatch her henchmen and minions to stop all opposition. People on this panel need to chill about the Rudy workup - all for nothing, He will not get the nomination, why is everyone working themselves into a tizzy????? We all need to pull together for the Republican candidate. Do you really want Pol Pot II running your life?????? and putting all dissenters into re-education camps?????? Think long and hard about it./Just Asking - seoul62......

“Savage’s beef with Levin?”
I dunno how it started, but I have heard Levin rip on Savage for 5 minutes at a time.
Hey Fuddfan, what started it all, anyway? (even if ya give the Levin version!)

Not sure really, I don’t even *know* if there *is* “Levin version.” But I think it stems from savage’s jealousy of Rush. Rush is a good friend of Mark’s — Mark doesn’t take kindly to anyone ripping his friends, and if he’s not directly involved then he will involve himself. That’s my theory anyhow.

“Democrats on both coasts have authored official resolutions condemning
Michael Savage and Rush Limbaugh this week”

That’s the sort of advertizing you just can’t buy!

So far as I can tell, these blatant lies will just backfire on the vermin who put them forth. Of course, if you watch and listen to the alphabet channels, ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN,... etc. you would think that something must have happened otherwise why would Media Matters and others take the trouble to initiate the complaints and resolutions? But even Joe Sixpack sees through these false accusations. Their concerns are utter nonsense.

Yes they are Stalinists and Marxists boldly attempting to eliminate the opposition, especially the number one and number three conservative talk show hosts. Of course the vermin do not believe in free enterprise and market forces. They are incapable of offering competitive programming in the free market because, as Savage and Limbaugh have pointed out, they have disordered minds. The Democrats cannot compete in the arena of sound ideas, they just want to implement failed policies and ideologies, only this time they will get Marxism RIGHT. But that is impossible because they are corrupt and power hungry; they just want to drive the bus for awhile.

I’m betting their next target will be the conservative blog sites. The liberals can’t stand that their sycophant buddies in the MSM have been supplanted by talk radio and the blogosphere and the truth about them is getting out.

Eh, I joined in the keyword wars when I first signed up for the Savage pinglist. I can be pretty juvenile sometimes.
I try to be humorous about it, and not too nasty.

I listened to Mike for the first time in many months for about 15 minutes tonite. He was on a tear, lambasting everyone. He made a remark about Rush Limbaugh having to call the White House to get the right talking points.

A purge is in motion.

Putin’s attempt to move Russia back to the days of Uncle Joe, Lavrentia Beria and Khrushchev is being echoed here.

Soon the masses will take to the streets and the antirevolutionaries will be silenced. The Party will prevail!

Not all of the Levinistas have clean hands, either.

It’s all in good fun - been really quiet for several months, though.

I know for a fact that the lefties at media matters are doing a jihad against Rush right now. They want its members to contact Rush’s advertisers to get them to stop selling their products on his show. That’s probably the tip of the iceberg.

Morons.

Liberals targeting radio hosts

Bring it on, libs, we're ready to go to the mat with you guys. You've had a monopoly in the media for more than 50 years getting by with outright lies, the jig is up and now you're squealing like stuck pigs.

You have played the same way in Congress since '94 when the GOP took over, they tolerated your theatrics, played footsie with you and allowed you to continue to run the show.

Trust me libs, we're a lot tougher than the pussycats in Congress, not looking to make millions off backroom deals or trying to get reelected.

Just got my hunting gear tuned up and ready for bear(verbally of course) whatever you guys and gals want to dish out.

I'm an Ann Coulter Gal/Rush Babe and I have studied your tactics for years so try to push around people somewhere else, like "the Vineyard."

The fact that they’re both on in the same time slot on competing stations.

That, and Savage has this bravado thing against other hosts like Limbaugh, O’Reilly and Hannity. It may just be an act, I don’t know. He doesn’t really bring up Levin directly, last I checked, although he has insinuated in the past he was #1 in NYC in Levin’s time slot using some fuzzy math. In all actuality, Levin has consistently beat Savage in the two hours they directly compete in NYC, something Levin likes to point out.
