NBC News 'Punk Faggot' Scandal Erupts
The American Spectator ^ | March 16, 2012 | Jeffery Lord

Posted on 03/16/2012 3:28:13 AM PDT by Cincinatus' Wife

.........[SNIP]...........

And now? What of Sleep Train?

The Los Angeles Times tells us that Sleep Train, thanks to furious Rush Ralliers, has come crawling back to Rush begging -- begging -- to come back on the program.

And Rush said: no.

Specifically, a spokesman for Rush said in response to the begging-to return Sleep Train:

Unfortunately, your public comments were not well received by our audience, and did not accurately portray either Rush Limbaugh's character or the intent of his remarks. Thus, we regret to inform you that Rush will be unable to endorse Sleep Train in the future.

Taken in by the likes of MSNBC's Phil Griffin, unaware of the association between NBC anchor Brian Williams and Comcast/NBC's Al "punk faggot" Sharpton, unaware of the Daily Caller series linking MSNBC to its Media Matters ally, Sleep Train, plain and simple, got skunked.

And now, Dale Carlsen and his company are paying the price for this.

Conservatives, as the late Andrew Breitbart memorably noted in his last CPAC speech, are a different breed than they were in the day when Ronald Reagan's General Electric Theater was forced off the air by the Left in 1962 -- because then-actor Reagan had been critical of the Kennedy administration.

Said Breitbart: "Conservatives used to take it and we're not taking it anymore."

Indeed they don't. They understand exactly what Phil Griffin, Brian Williams (who, as I recall, was an intern in the Carter White House), Al Sharpton, and all their progressive buddies are up to. And they know that Brian Roberts sits at the top of the pyramid as the head of Comcast.

............There's more to tell. And we will now be telling this story twice a week right here in The American Spectator.

I can’t stand being around democrats. Too bad I know a bunch of them. The ones I know are brainwashed in favor of everything democrats do.

I’m loving it. New information is frequently being revealed to prove that the leftist media tolerates their own who engage in despicable slurs on women and minorities, while getting the vapors when they perceive some insult by a conservative.

When I told Carbonite to get stuffed, I started to receive all kinds of incentives to keep using them.
Even though I still have two paid months left, I have the backup suspended.
I am now receiving all kinds of inducements for me to remain a customer, but I let them continue to use bandwidth in their desperation to keep me as a subscriber.

Shepard Smith looks like he’s going down hill very quickly. Has anyone heard anything about his status? I don’t mean to make light of it or wish him ill but it looks like something is going on.

The policy of holding Liberals’ feet to the fire on their concerted, calculated and VERY deliberate efforts to misrepresent and malign Conservatives and Conservative public personalities ought to have been done all along... it should be common practice for 'journalists' with the least claim to professionalism AND a positively DEMONSTRABLE prerequisite for ANY Conservative politicians who ever hope to represent Americans!!

Why?

Because the mainstream MSM (presumably, but no longer ACTUALLY, the watchdog for the public good in this country) has abandoned its contract with free America.

Someone ELSE has to pick up the flag and go forward with the necessary objectivity and commitment to ethical ‘reporting’!!

Just last night I noticed he seems to have lost weight. I hope it's nothing more than maybe over exercizing or perhaps job related stress.

This is great.

Many advertisers folded in the face of a blitz attack from the left (in this specific case and others) because they viewed it as the easiest course of action.

They need to know that if they head down this road of capitulation, the going will not be anywhere as smooth as they thought.

The leftist loudmouths had it too easy.

Interesting... I told my wife last week I thought he was using less eyeshadow... Maybe he has a new makeup consultant?

I wish we could find one Republican politician with some large hairy balls.

Limbaugh has shown them the way, but I don’t see any of them following.

I thought I read on FR that LifeLock had bailed too, but I heard Rush doing the commercial yesterday.

What's the deal?
