Newsweek magazine joins the Obama administration's war on Rush Limbaugh with a cover story authored by conservative lightwieght David Frum.
The cover art is an unflattering tight shot of Limbaugh's face featuring a black box over his mouth with the word ENOUGH!
The article, which doesn't matter really because it is the excuse to position the anti-Rush agit-prop cover on newstands around the country for a week, can be read here.
Newsweek released a press release with an excerpt from Frum's article:
"In the days since I stumbled into this controversy, I've received a great deal of e-mail. (Most of it on days when (radio host Mark) Levin or (Sean) Hannity or Hugh Hewitt or Limbaugh have had something especially disobliging to say about me.) Most of these e-mails say some version of the same thing: if you don't agree with Rush, quit calling yourself a conservative and get out of the Republican Party. There's the perfect culmination of the outlook Rush Limbaugh has taught his fans and followers: we want to transform the party of Lincoln, Eisenhower and Reagan into a party of unanimous dittoheads -- and we don't care how small the party has to shrink to do it. That's not the language of politics. It's the language of cult."
Laughable. They call Rush’s listerners a “cult” yet here they are taking their talking points from Obama’s puppeteers.
Dittoheads? a cult?
Oh get a grip, Please, David.
Looks like I will be going to the magazine turning them around or we need to flood their opinion pages with love for Rush!!!!Start writing NOW!!!! Looks like RedFrum needs some emails too.
A quick photo of the cheese eating surrender monkey.
Who the hell is David Fram?
Symbolic of a Nazi or a Commie-the silencing of free speech and attempted muzzling of the exchange of ideas.
Hopefully they run a cover next week with Keith Olbermann with a Hitler mustache with a black box over his mouth.
You forgot to say " Confucius say....."

oops my bad....
Looks like I will be going to the magazine STANDS and ......
If Newsweek were an honest news magazine its cover story would be: Investors, Allies Wonder: Is Obama Up to the Job?
To bad Obama is the first “yellow” President. He calls about private citizens, yet to chicken to go mano to mano.
Don’t read Newsweek.
Wow, the full court press the left is putting on Rush leads me to believe that he’s getting it right and they’re scared.
Three hours a day of light shining on their agenda has them scrambling like cockroaches...
Geeez... how blatant can they be about wanting to silence a voice of dissent? I guess dissent is no longer Patriotic after January 20th, 2009.
Couldn’t Rush sue them for using his photo w/o permission?
I heard recently that J Lo and her current “whatever” sued a London company for using her and her children’s photos to sell strollers. It seems to me that they are using this cover to sell issues of this “toilet paper”, and the NEED to be sued!
That would be Mondays through Fridays...right?
