@Rushlimbaugh Here's how the opposition astroturfs advertisers. Smart piece from @LegInsurrection Pls. Retweet http://bit.ly/y6Tnnv @mmfa
Media Matters astroturfed the Limbaugh secondary boycott
The secondary boycott of Rush Limbaugh advertisers is portrayed in the media as a reaction to a groundswell of public outrage. In fact, the secondary boycott was initiated by and driven by Media Matters, which had a “Stop Limbaugh” campaign on the shelf waiting to be used, and was executed by Angelo Carusone, Director of Online Strategy for Media Matters.

Sit there and feel warm and fuzzy behind the "anonymity" of a screenname. Until you have "hung it out there" and taken action, you can keep on sneering at others who DO take big risks.
And -- until then -- those who know the facts of life in today's world are well justified in regarding you and your ilk as "just another noisy punk kid hiding in Mama's basement"...

I'll take a Rush Limbaugh over 1000,000 like you.
You sing it Texas.
Anything you can think of - either here or in Freepmail - for how the rest of us can help somebody who’s been directly threatened?
I picture this as a hostage situation, where a gun is held to somebody’s head. Somehow you’ve got to either negotiate the hostage-taker away from shooting, or else sneak up behind him and take him out before he can even know you’re there. If you can kill or disarm the hostage-taker before he kills anybody, you can save the person held hostage.
If you know they are hostage, you are not put off by anything they say under duress, which they HAVE to say to stay alive. That’s sort of how I view the media right now; the ones who really love the USA and have to mock the rest of us because they’re under duress will either be really good actors (in which case we think they’re traitors) or bad actors who are thus at further risk.
I have a really rough time listening to Glenn Beck because he’s a very good actor and I forget that he’s under duress. I do know, though, that he knows Soros is the enemy, and he’s doing what he can to try to disarm the very guy holding him (Beck) hostage.
I think part of what we can do is to let everybody else know it’s a hostage situation so it doesn’t do Soros any good to hold them hostage any more. We can be anonymous and numerous, which means Soros can’t hold us hostage without doing something really visible and public that lets the cat out of the bag anyway.
“You apparently have never received one of those genuine “up close and personal” threats and/or had your family threatened. I have. And I understand the caution such an experience instills.”
You are right. My sincere apologies. Not sneering in the least.
FReepmail for you -- composed before I saw your #44 ...
exactly!
I've heard Rush speak highly of Sheriff Joe, over the years. He's never insinuated that Joe is a "kook", from what I've heard.
Apologies accepted. FReepmail for you...
Again. My deepest apologies.
I was wrong to make blanket statements. I was speaking about the “conservative media” as a monolith not individuals who are or could be at great personal risk.
It is easy for me to talk. Since I put nothing past these people in power I’m not one of the one’s under the duress.
I pray that anyone dealing with this cabal is kept safe and unharmed.
My reason for posting on this topic is to be one more voice in support for the rule of law and the constitution.
I think Sheriff Joe needs and deserves all the support he can get.

Smokeyblue, you’re been right there with me through this whole big mess. I know you didn’t mean to be offensive and I’m not offended.
It just seems so hard to really fathom that they could all be in such danger.
I think we need to figure out what assets we have that are NOT hostage. Like Jeff Kuhner. We here at FR are not being silenced, and if we can find other blogs, etc where we can post what we know that can help. We can encourage Sean Hannity to come out with this before they fire him; he’s said he will vet Obama this time even if it costs his job. If he was fired and/or injured/killed right after telling the story about either Obama’s eligibility or the media threats, or if Fox hit the kill switch on his program just as he began to speak about the issue, it would be really obvious and would just reinforce what we’re saying on this issue. Danae’s use of Pravda as a means to chide the American media - and it being picked up by Drudge - helps.
There are 2 different routes we need to take. One, the route of informing the public and using this to help the public know they MUST NOT vote for this fraud again.
Second, actual legal results. We can get some results from Arpaio, hopefully. The pawns. But the rooks, knights, and bishops are in federal and non-AZ state government offices so those will need a federal investigation in order to be smoked out and prosecuted. The queen is probably Obama himself. And the king - the one who actually rules the thugocracy - is George Soros.
As I’ve said elsewhere, I don’t think we have time to go through the investigation and prosecution of the pawns, followed by a push for a federal investigation, etc. I think Obama is planning to detonate something big if he thinks he won’t be re-elected, which gives us 9 months or less to get our troops back home from Afghanistan so they can protect us from whatever SHTF scenario Obama is planning on pulling on us.
I believe we’ve got a communist-Islamist foreign enemy combatant in our White House with all the overt and covert technologies of military, intelligence, and law enforcement at his disposal. Stuff like the right to assassinate whatever US citizen he wants in whatever way he wants whenever he wants, with no questions ever able to be asked about it. Stuff like the ability to program people to be covert assassins. Stuff like the ability to give orders down the chain of command and have our guys make whatever “mistakes” he wants them to make. Etc. If his goal is to get rid of any patriotic soldiers who would protect us from a Hezbollah coup in the USA (following an Iranian EMP attack, for instance), he can easily do that by using individual soldiers however he wants to. It’s actually very much like our own soldiers being under the command of Adolf Hitler.
The military has just told Lakin (and any other soldiers listening in) that it is their duty to “just follow orders”, as long as the order isn’t directly criminal. Heck, even forging a BC wouldn’t be directly criminal, since it could always just be used for a joke. And posting a BC isn’t criminal if you don’t know it’s a fake... Obama could easily have gotten his own military men to commit his fraud for him, and they all would have just been “following orders” (since none of the orders were criminal on their face) - as the whole military justice system just imprisoned and dishonorably discharged Terry Lakin for refusing to do.
Given that Obama supports the Muslim agenda (the destruction of the US and Israel and the institution of worldwide sharia), just imagine what he could order his soldiers to do in order to further those goals and make it appear to be either an accident/tragedy or somebody else’s fault. Does anybody doubt that Obama is a big enough jerk to use America’s brave, honorable soldiers in this way?

Thanks butter.
My big picture type comments can sometimes overlook the “little” individuals.
I’ve crossed posts with the other thread.
Really? I'm a "noisy punk hiding in Mama's basement"? And I really don't know the facts of life!!??
Please explain them to me. I'm 63 and a disabled Vietnam veteran. I've NEVER hidden in my mother's basement and I'm pretty sure that, in my 63 years, I've encountered a bully and a fact of life or two, but I will breathlessly await you explaining them to me because I'd like to know what I missed.
In the meantime, I remain firm in my statements about Rush, Sean, Glen and all the other conservative talk show hosts ignoring the issue of Obama's forged birth certificates. Because, all I said was that NONE of them had discussed this issue in response to another poster who singled out Rush.
When you decide to attack a broad swath of people with one accusation, make sure that you understand who is making attacks, and who is making true statements. There is a difference.
And, just for your edification, I'm a Texan who actually LIVES in Texas, not a pretender.
It's not getting any outside coverage...other than by Rush. Hmmmm.
That’s great.
Thank you Rush for supporting Sheriff Joe. The good guys need to band together.
That would be like what Chavez did in Venezuela when he shut down all the TV and radio stations back in 2009. Do you think the people will really sit down in silence and take it if that happened here?
That's why I don't understand why these media leaders don't call Obama's bluff over these reports of threats.

Granted I am a little late to this party. I myself have been libeled on the internet. Butterdezillion can back me up on that assertion as she knows about it. I don’t care to give the person who did it any attention - so I am not saying who it it or where it is. I hope ya all respect that, at least until a time of my choosing to reveal it that is.
Suffice it to say, anyone who pops their head out of the gopher hole becomes a target for tinfoil hat wearing crazies who are perfectly capable of sucking the tinfoil out of every walmart in a 4 county radius. While the damage is negligible, the injustice is a personal invasion of privacy , particularly when the nutjob doing it deliberately hides and protects their own identity and family whilst libeling someone elses. All for their own ego. Sick Sick Sick.
With the decision about privacy invasion in the Tyler Clemente Rutgers Student Suicide - the jerk who did it was found guilty of all 15 charges, and rightly so. Invasion of privacy is a crime. Intentional infliction of emotional distress on the internet is a crime. Now there is a verdict which is legal precedent. And of course there are others.
People like me who have chosen to put their identities into the public expect to get hit, that’s natural. That is to be expected and is part of the game. Bringing someone’s family into it, is a totally different ball game, they didn’t choose it. However, those big wigs with the big news agencies have access to legal assistance etc that a blogger or freelance journalist does not. Be that as it may, running the risk of losing that protective shield the big wigs have isn’t one to be underestimated. I should know, I am a freelancer.
