“For the reasons you list, the Left will pull out all the stops to kill Rush and talk radio. He/they are too effective. Let the battle begin.”
I think just the opposite. I now see why Obama is against the fairness doctrine and I will predict now that he will veto any fairness doctrine or anything that comes close to it regardless of what it is called.
Rush is not careful with his words, he doesn’t have to be. He can pull Howard Dean 2004s all he wants. Remember when people instantly recoiled and abandoned Dean after the famous yell, even Dems? Well Rush says and does things all the time that are viewed as politically incorrect by a majority of voters and is constantly put in a bad light by the MSM.
Obama wants him out there, he knows about Rush’s poll numbers and his unpopularity. He needs Rush’s microphone to be unfettered, free, no pressure. He wants Rush to be relaxed and feel powerful. Once in that state, Rush gets risky. The more Rush talks, the more likely Obama can tie Rush to the individual Republicans and the more Dem victories can be eeked out by the Dems.
We are being played like fiddles by Obama. He has a brilliantly sinister mind.
