Getting the folks fired up.
If anyone doubted Democrats love being defeated, this should clear it up.
They lost this particular ‘battle’ the moment they tried to use excerpts taken out of context.
I hope they continue.
Nikita Khrushchev said, “Russia does not have to destroy America with missles; America will destroy from within.”
Seems like Dingy Harry and the RAT/lib/socialist party is fulfilling his prophesy.
Ditto!
I love all the posts on this thread. Freepers understand the many dimensions of this threat to our freedoms and way of life.
But at the moment, I think a deluge of support to Clear Channel would also help. Not that I think that they will cave, but as ammunition Clear Channel can use back against the Dems.
Then we should inundate the Senate with calls for Dingy Harry to step down as Majority leader. Make it clear that a politician that is lying so boldly has no business to be leader of anything. It is an affront to the citizens of this country that a politician can and is continuing to use and abuse his power to go after a private citizen in this matter. It will and could be anyone next time. ( A case could be made that certain individuals have already experienced this under the Clintons)
If we don’t raise our voices just because it is Rush and he can defend himself, then we are no better than the German citizens of the 1930’s. That this can happen to any private citizen is a threat that will continue if this charade goes unopposed.
Yes! Yes! Yes!
There needs to be a political cost that will make them back off, or this will continue.
Haven’t they already picked off many talk show hosts one at a time? I suspect there are some dirty tricks that only Rush could tell us, but for legal and other reasons, he has held his tongue. To make a pain killer addiction that started with severe back pain seem worse in the public eye than using cocaine and other street drugs is beyond the pale. I’m suspicious about the timing of this smear, since it coincides with the end of Rush’s probation. Perhaps Rush will open up now about some of the sordid details of the obvious political prosecution and persecution.
69% of Senators polled support Rush Limbaugh.
Only 41 Senators were dumb enought to sign their stupid attempt at censorship.
Hey DINGY Harry ... what part of FREEDOM OF SPEECH do you NOT Understand? At least RUSH told the TRUTH, and has never HIDDEN his Agenda ... what’s YOUR EXCUSE??
This Dhimmicrat outrage is as phony as thier soldiers.
I think Rush should come out with Phony soldier T-shirts, think about it...the Dhimmicrats are going insane over this.
Rush should apologize to everyone that Dingy Harry is actually a US Senator.
110 Senators?

Several of the following seem to hold some relevance here:
GOEBBELS’ PRINCIPLES OF PROPAGANDA
Based upon Goebbels’ Principles of Propaganda by Leonard W. Doob, published in Public Opinion and Propaganda; A Book of Readings edited for The Society for the Psychological Study of Social Issues.
1. Propagandist must have access to intelligence concerning events and public opinion.
2. Propaganda must be planned and executed by only one authority.
a. It must issue all the propaganda directives.
b. It must explain propaganda directives to important officials and maintain their morale.
c. It must oversee other agencies’ activities which have propaganda consequences
3. The propaganda consequences of an action must be considered in planning that action.
4. Propaganda must affect the enemy’s policy and action.
a. By suppressing propagandistically desirable material which can provide the enemy with useful intelligence
b. By openly disseminating propaganda whose content or tone causes the enemy to draw the desired conclusions
c. By goading the enemy into revealing vital information about himself
d. By making no reference to a desired enemy activity when any reference would discredit that activity
5. Declassified, operational information must be available to implement a propaganda campaign
6. To be perceived, propaganda must evoke the interest of an audience and must be transmitted through an attention-getting communications medium.
7. Credibility alone must determine whether propaganda output should be true or false.
8. The purpose, content and effectiveness of enemy propaganda; the strength and effects of an expose; and the nature of current propaganda campaigns determine whether enemy propaganda should be ignored or refuted.
9. Credibility, intelligence, and the possible effects of communicating determine whether propaganda materials should be censored.
10. Material from enemy propaganda may be utilized in operations when it helps diminish that enemy’s prestige or lends support to the propagandist’s own objective.
11. Black rather than white propaganda may be employed when the latter is less credible or produces undesirable effects.
12. Propaganda may be facilitated by leaders with prestige.
13. Propaganda must be carefully timed.
a. The communication must reach the audience ahead of competing propaganda.
b. A propaganda campaign must begin at the optimum moment
c. A propaganda theme must be repeated, but not beyond some point of diminishing effectiveness
14. Propaganda must label events and people with distinctive phrases or slogans.
a. They must evoke desired responses which the audience previously possesses
b. They must be capable of being easily learned
c. They must be utilized again and again, but only in appropriate situations
d. They must be boomerang-proof
15. Propaganda to the home front must prevent the raising of false hopes which can be blasted by future events.
16. Propaganda to the home front must create an optimum anxiety level.
a. Propaganda must reinforce anxiety concerning the consequences of defeat
b. Propaganda must diminish anxiety (other than concerning the consequences of defeat) which is too high and which cannot be reduced by people themselves
17. Propaganda to the home front must diminish the impact of frustration.
a. Inevitable frustrations must be anticipated
b. Inevitable frustrations must be placed in perspective
18. Propaganda must facilitate the displacement of aggression by specifying the targets for hatred.
19. Propaganda cannot immediately affect strong counter-tendencies; instead it must offer some form of action or diversion, or both.
