Rush Limbaugh and the Fairness Doctorine
NotoriouslyConservative.com ^ | 01 29 09 | MRC Action Center

First it was President Obama’s attack against Rush Limbaugh, warning GOP leaders “you can’t just listen to Rush Limbaugh and get things done.”

Now comes word that the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) has launched an online petition against Rush! And, this isn’t only about the biggest name in conservative talk radio – it’s just starting with him.

This is the first salvo in the war to silence all conservative voices.

And let’s not forget the leftwing news media, who are eagerly licking the boots of liberal leadership hoping to agitate and intensify a public outcry for gagging Rush and fellow conservatives.

MSNBC’s Norah O’Donnell asked on national television if Obama finally had the “cojones,” to stand up to Rush Limbaugh unlike others before him!

The liberal campaign to officially silence conservative speech has begun, and we are more dependent than ever on our team to help us gear up and amass a full-scale counter offensive to protect our Free Speech Rights.

I need every member of our MRC Action Team to take action in two critically important ways: First, in the white hot heat of this battle it is imperative that we have resources and funds to expose the truth of what is really underway.

As liberal leaders in Congress and the media become more aggressive in theirassault of our conservative ideals, we need to know you are standing with the Media Research Center and our efforts to protect our Free Speech Rights bymaking a tax-deductible gift right now. Click here to help.

Any gift amount is appreciated--especially during these tough economic times. But our Free Speech Rights have come under intense attack, and we’re hoping some members of our team will be able to step forward today with gifts...

Yeah, I know. Listening to Rush and getting things done is so 20th century. < forehead in hands >

Organizing congressmen is like herding cats. Anyone who can get a couple hundred cats marching in lockstep will scare the crap out of his enemies.

Despite what many people think Rush loves every minute of what he does but would gladly sacrifice a few of those minutes if Obama could be defeated in 2012.

The one who is maddest about this is Hannity, who was all poised to be #1 on Obama’s radar screen. Now he’ll have to amp it up to draw O’s fire off of Rush. Best economic stimulus for talk show hosts imaginable.

I’ll have the popcorn ready when these clowns run smack into that stone wall known as former prosecutor Mark Levin and the Landmark Legal Foundation.
