MSNBC Host Krystal Ball Silent On Her Involvement In ‘Stop Rush’ Pressure Campaign
daily caller ^ | 10/26/14 | Patrick Howley

MSNBC host Krystal Ball refuses to talk about her participation in the “Stop Rush” campaign targeting conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh’s advertisers.

Ball secretly participated in the Stop Rush movement since becoming affiliated with MSNBC, emails reveal. But Ball did not respond to The Daily Caller’s emailed request for comment on her participation in the activist effort.

“Stop Rush” is a campaign principally organized by Angelo Carusone, who is now a Media Matters executive vice president embroiled in controversy after TheDC published racist and anti-Semitic blog posts that he wrote. TheDC recently exposed the latest incarnation of the Stop Rush movement as a small group driven primarily by ten activists using technology to robotically harass Limbaugh’s advertisers on social media. (RELATED: The Conspiracy To Destroy Rush Limbaugh).

Ball was involved in trying to smoke out a suspected mole in the Stop Rush movement in the spring of 2012, months after she joined MSNBC as a contributor and shortly before she debuted as co-host of the network’s 3 pm talk show “The Cycle.”

Why would parents name their kid after the former symbol of White Castle’s biggest competitor?

MSNBC is not the problem. Comcast is the major propaganda resource of the DNC.

The destruction must be directed to Comcast and the executives there

Krystal Marie Ball is a 29-year-old former Congressional candidate and current Democratic Strategist in addition to being a Certified Public Accountant, software engineer, small business owner and mother.

With that name I thought she was some Hippy's love child.

Good point, bert. Going upstream. No disagreement here. Thanks.

Ball’s previous gig was as a Democrat candidate in Virginia’s 1st Congressional District, where she was beaten like a drum by GOP incumbent Rob Wittman back in 2010.

Late in the campaign, with Wittman up by 20 points, Ms. Ball tried the mother of all desperation tactics; someone from her organization released pictures of Ball, taken at a Christmas party a few years earlier. As I recall, in one of the shots, Ball has her mouth on a red dildo that another reveler is wearing on her nose. Ball claimed the Wittman campaign was behind the smear, but no one bought that story; with the incumbent coasting to victory in an R+6 (or better) district, he had no reason to use the photos.

The issue quickly died after Ball offered no proof the Wittman camp was behind the photo dump, and conservative media began looking into the very real possibility that Ms. Ball and her campaign were the real culprits.

Photo-gate also succeeded in raising Ms. Ball’s profile from political sacrificial lamb, to political victim, and put her on the fast track for MSNBC. That may be the media equivalent of a cabin upgrade on the Titanic, but Ball got what she wanted, even if it meant smearing herself.

Just more proof that Dims have no morals or ethics.

I guess this speaks of her tolerance.
