WashPost's Michael Gerson Slashes Limbaugh, Levin, and Ron Paul; Levin Responds to NewsBusters
Newsbusters ^ | 6/14/13 | Tim Graham

Washington Post columnist Michael Gerson – President George W. Bush’s top speechwriter from 2001 to 2006 – was hired by the Post in 2007 because he would be “a different kind of conservative” and "an independent voice." Translation: he would slash other people on the right as dishonest, dishonorable, unpatriotic people. He has not attacked talk-show hosts on MSNBC or other leftists this way.

In his Friday column, Gerson whacked Ron Paul, Rush Limbaugh, and Mark Levin with these harsh attacks. Mark Levin offered NewsBusters his reaction.

Gerson began:

A number of libertarians and conservative populists have found data collection by the National Security Agency(NSA) to be the final confirmation of their worst fears about Barack Obama and modern government. It is an attempt, according to Ron Paul, to “deliberately destroy the Constitution.” To radio talk show host Mark Levin, it reveals “the elements of a police state.” To Rush Limbaugh, it is part of a “coup d’etat” by the Obama “regime.”

...For Levin, it encompasses abuses by the Internal Revenue Service, the collection of DNA by policemen, Obamacare’s centralization of medical records and the use of domestic drones. “The Transportation Department, people forget, has proposed black boxes in all of our automobiles to track how they function,” Levin adds.

Michael Gerson. Is he the perfect poster boy for a Metrosexual or is it homosexual? So hard to tell them apart.

teve King told Glenn Beck that a democrat warned him that the democrats have detailed files on their opposition right down to what websites they’ve visited on their computers.

Now, how would the democrats have access to that sort of info?

I have no doubt that's true. One way outside of the NSA is google. Google is infested with hard-core leftists. They likely developed code to help filter and provide damning information on Conservatives/Republicans to their comrades at the DNC.

It truly will take a miracle to turn our Republic back towards Liberty.

Gerson is more of the GWB trash brought along by Rove and part of the gang that bequeath the country with bailouts, mortgage bankruptcy and 2x 10 year wars for naught! I’m seriously doubting that the Republican Party deserves to survive.
