I think this is more than the Left's traditional duplicity. I think they want to turn this into a victory over not just Limbaugh, but conservatives in general. They need an issue to pin their sinking hopes on and this is just the kind of overplayed, sensationalist claptrap they live for.

Conservatives play into their hands when they accept this "Limbaugh was wrong but at least he apologized" nonsense. Limbaugh was NOT wrong! Maybe he was crude and offensive, but his characterizations of Ms. Fluke as a "slut" and a "prostitute" were accurate.

We need to quit apologizing for stating the truth. In fact, that is our only salvation. Let the Left equivocate; let us be the voice of (sometimes uncomfortable) reason. And let us not be timid about our allegiance to the facts.

How very true, how very true.

We have to get smarter as conservatives. Whenever the left rolls out a new victim, a new “expert” in this or that field, whenever they attempt to use some horrific event that happened to this “poor” person because of the failure of government or evil Republican, we need to shut our mouths, not respond and do our homework.

In less than 4 hours, Fluke could have been vetted thoroughly. Rush could have gone on the radio and blasted the Dems for lying to America, for wasting tax dollars on their set-up and demanded they apologize to the American people for their deception.

Conservative websites should have been running Flukes real age, her profiles where she openly discusses her associations with overt radicalism and outed her for the fake she is.

Instead of going on the defensive and running our mouths further forcing apologies, we should have been putting the Dems in the position of having to apologize to the American people for their deception. We either rewrite that playbook to our advantage or accept the left will own public sentiment for generations to come.

If there is a silver-lining to Breitbart’s passing is he left us with the platform and handbook to go after the left and to win against them. When we use the lefts playbook we loose. We only need courage and conviction to do what Andrew did and we no longer lose in the battle of ideals.
