He’s finished.

[Timber Rattler]

Somebody named Frank Luntz doesn’t think very highly of either Mark Levin or Rush Limbaugh PING.

[pieceofthepuzzle]

Oh my gosh, “from Chechnya?”. How could he? You know, he's not the idiot. The idiots are the Republicans who let him retain that position.

[Paladin2]

"And they get great ratings, and they drive the message, and it's really problematic."

Jeb will go down in FLAMES!

[Paladin2]

"Marco Rubio's getting his ass kicked."

Ya think?

[Paladin2]

"Right-wing media is not serving the national debate and not helping the GOP widen the party's appeal beyond its declining base."

Why is THAT? McCain? Linda? Rubio? Attacking S!?

[C. Edmund Wright]

I’d be willing to bet that Luntz thought Charlie Crist was awesome and that he was probably very anti-Rubio when Rubio was running Crist slap out of the party.

[svcw]

flames!! He will combusted in the first primary.

[svcw]

Agreed.
A millions years ago, when he was first starting out, I met him at a meeting.
He was advising people who were running for office how to be Conservative and still win in California.
In the beginning he was a good guy, strange and sad how people can’t hold onto their principles.......well, except us extremists that is. /s/

[FlingWingFlyer]

This is the same “GOP consultant” that had me convinced on November 5th 2012 that Barack the Kenyan was toast and Romney had it in the bag. “Fool me once,...”

[MamaDearest]

Luntz is fishing for continued employment at Fox News. He should be standing in an unemployment line somewhere.

[Georgia Girl 2]

Luntz is a small time nobody.

[wardaddy]

Nothing personal but Luntz is typical moderate who sees no culture war

A Scoop Jackson dem

For those over 45

[UnbelievingScumOnTheOtherSide]

PURGE!
Democrat moles.

[DoughtyOne]

Luntz would make a good door stop.

Other than that?

[isthisnickcool]

Luntz has a horrid rag on his head. Oh gee, that is not fake hair! LOL!

[subterfuge]

No! Talk radio must be extremely powerful to be causing “starkpolitical polarization “over the soothing tones of half-crazed Harry Reid, Pelosi, Schumer, Doomberg, New York Times and President Urkle. Think how unbearable the political polarization would be without their calming, reasoned discourse.

[MCH]

Frank Luntz, the media-friendly Republican consultant and word wiz, told a group of college students this week that Rush Limbaugh and right-wing talk radio are "problematic" for the GOP and partly responsible for the stark polarization within the nation's political discourse.

He's right, but not in the way he meant. Conservative radio and alternative new media IS problematic for the GOPe, which is not conservative at all. If it weren't for alt media sources like Limbaugh, Levin, etc., there wouldn't be any "polarization" because one entire pole would be missing. It would all be either hard left with the MSM and Democrats, or soft left with the GOPe. If this is "problematic" then we need more of it.

[ObamahatesPACoal]

Luntz trotted out Evan Bayh (pro-Sotomayor, pro-amnesty, pro-quota, pro-obamacare) to a Fox News focus group as someone we need in Washington to break the gridlock.

Monday article American Thinker on Luntz....be on lookout.
