Where is conservative talk radio on the most important issue to be before the court in the history of the republic? Shame on them! I decided after listening to to rush for 18 years that his silence on this issue has made me decide to turn off my radio too.

I disagree. I think it's very simple why talk show radio has not been talking about it, and I think it is actually playing into our favor.

If Rush, Sean, et al, had started talking about this several weeks ago, MSM would be in full attack mode and they probably would win the public opinion war. As it is, they kept quiet, and now MSM (unwillingly) has to break the story. Meanwhile, us underground FReepers have gone about building a case that looks pretty solid. So now when MSM starts launching attacks as they have with some of the articles we have seen in the past few days, there are thousands of people armed with rebuttals.

I have been on a lot of blogs with various newspapers (Chicago Tribune, Orlando Sentinel, etc.) and it is very obvious that there are many people armed with the facts to fight back every conspiracy theory. So I actually believe that talk show radio has done the right thing by not making an issue. When this story breaks big like it's going to eventually, we will see them jump in to back us up. But they couldn't risk making this seem like an illusion dreamed up by the "radical" conservative talk show radio hosts. They should be applauded for how they have made MSM break this story.

Well I must admit that that very thought crossed my mind more than once.

But I have had a difficult time listening to them talk about meaningless (to me) topics with this story boiling over.

I and others have been fighting the spin doctors that show up here and tell us to be good republicans and stop whining about our loss.

Let’s hope you are correct.
