Operation Rushbo, Fox News and Obama's Politics of Hate
American Thinker ^ | October 20, 2009 | William Tate

Whether Rush Limbaugh was set up in his failed attempt to become an NFL team owner, there is no doubt that he is the target of a new Politics of Hate, perfected and implemented by Barack Obama and his handlers.

Obama's oratory of Hope and Change has proved to be nothing more than camouflage for a realpolitik of Fear and Loathing, his broad smile at the teleprompter just a distraction while Obama's heavies deliver a kidney punch to perceived enemies. Welcome to politics -- the Chicago way.

Obama's attack on Limbaugh was conceived last spring. Politico reported then that a cabal of top Obama advisors initiated what Politico called 'Operation Rushbo' to "roll out a new GOP bogeyman for the post-Bush era." With conspirators including consigliere David Axelrod, Obama's press puppet Robert Gibbs, and Chief of Staff -- and chief enforcer -- Rahm Emanuel, there can be little doubt that Obama, himself, greenlighted the strategy.

So far it’s been an epic fail, just like Obama. They overreached when they went after Rush.

I agree. They are exposing their tactics.

Zer0 has the mind of a petulant child who is pitching
a hissy fit because he doesn't want anyone telling him
that he can't have all of the candy.

The most frightening thing is that this mind is in the man
who occupies the most powerful office in the world
and he has all of the tools to squash his opponents
at his disposal.

The petulant Usurper.

I wonder where all the Pubies are.... Why are they totally absent in speaking out against the Maoist-in-Chief? America is going down fast and nothing is being said. It is a sad day....

They will simply never learn.

Every time you throw a grenade over the fence in Rush's direction, it bounces back and blows up in your face. How many times must they be injured by the same old tactic. Once again, Rush will destroy them in the end.

The left is incapable of understanding that when they attack Rush, they attack ideals shared by all those proud enough to wear the badge of the infamous vast right wing conspiracy; a group who's membership now numbers a majority (in my humble opinion).

Rush is the master at turning publicity in his favor. They would do far more damage ignoring him... but they are liberals. They will never get it

I’m not so sure he can “win”.

They repeated those lies over and over and over, even thought they knew they were lies.

They never took it back either, they just say they’re in “dispute” even though they know they’re damnable lies.

Most of the unwashed playing word association goes “Rush Limbaugh” - Racist.

That’s the meme. Unless Rush is granted 10 minutes in prime-time on each of these networks, I don’t know what he can do to defend himself.

All of the “backtracking” by the LIARS, has been “Well, that’s quote not confirmed but we’ve got TONS of evidence and other quotes to show that he’s racist”

Never mind that those are lies too, or things taken out of context. Or just plain old political satire. You’re not allowed to do satire on any of the media’s sacred cows, it’s “racist”.

If you don’t think the MSM has tons of power, look at who our President is.

Hillary! got the conservative treatment in the primaries, the MSM GAVE THE NOMINATION to Obama, as well as the election.
