"We already knew the aspect of Fox News via Rupert Murdoch, Roger Ailes, Sean Hannity and Bill OReilly meeting with Chuck Schumer, Lindsey Graham and Marco Rubio capturing promises to deliver favorable opinion for immigration reform. Outlined HERE We also knew, and wrote about how Fox Executives manipulated program content (including the blacklisting of amnesty critics) to support the collective agenda.
However, we did not know how far the scope of the influence was extended, nor did we know Rush Limbaugh was a direct participant willing to defraud his audience. We also did not know that Laura Ingraham and Mark Levin were lobbied to participate.
How would we know? How would anyone know? They never told their audience.
None of the aforementioned pundits ever disclosed the nature or content of the lobbying, nor their own independent determination whether to go along with the agenda, or remain willfully blind thereby benefitting it in omission.
In hindsight we can only accept their willingness to remain silent, as affirmation of their willful blindness to the overall agenda.
However, now we do know, many things make a lot more sense about how reactionary all the conservative pundits were when candidate Donald Trump announced his immigration platform to include a border wall, deportation and strict enforcement of immigration law. Now we know why most pundits reacted with such disdain.
Their opposition, heck, their knee jerk attacks upon Trump for proposing immigration enforcement, seemed stunning in June/July 2015; but now takes on an entirely new light."

God, I remember that...Rush trying to convince us that Rubio was not GOPe - just ‘conveniently’ ignoring Rubio’s Gang of Eight leadership.
It would be like Ed Shultz trying to convince his audience that Hillary was still a loyal Democrat if Hillary had been running around trying to end abortion, supporting open carry, supporting traditional marriage. I doubt the libs would buy that too.
“Almost all radio hosts have participated in the conspiracy of silence about Soetoros biography, forged birth certificate, non-citizenship, etc.”
I’m glad they dropped it. Because if not, if proven to America to be false, then what next? Impeaching him with a 2/3 Senate vote. LOL!!!!!!!!!
It’s like the dog finally catching the squirrel...what next? No different.
This Gang of Eight stuff was the biggest threat to this country since the Soviets nearly BLEW US OFF THE MAP in the 1973 Middle East War. A symbolic victory showing that Obama should have never taken office MEANS NOTHING in comparison.
I am not talking about Rush’s deception with the Gang of Eight bill, I am talking about his deception over the last month.
His deception involves choosing callers to say what he wants to get across, ignoring events, twisting things, praising Rubio as a disciple of Reagan, ignoring Rubio’s latest statements on amnesty, etc.
His most glaring is trying to claim that Trump is claiming that there are people dying on the streets, after mentioning what Trump is really referring to — what will happen with the implementation of his health care plan.
“After all, Rubio had recently campaigned on the promise to not support amnesty.”
Rubio also got ELECTED to the Senate on a promise not to support Amnesty (in 2010), even after having a flaming Open Borders politician in Florida politics prior.
How many times are we supposed to believe Rubio when HE KEEPS LYING TO THE VOTERS?
Bravo - you just auto-shredded any credibility you may have had.
That whole segment was nothing but words and speculations, no facts. When I read that many paragraphs and learn NOTHING I am not going to click on the link. That sight is a whack job sight. I listen to Rush and it sounds like the article is trying to implicate Rush in some tin foil conspiracy. I don’t know of anyone besides Levin who think for themselves. I know what I hear and read. This sight is feeding BS.
Yes. I agree. But some might have wanted to wait and see if it was just a beginners mistake rather than a full out deception. Now we know.
A post with some sanity, Thank you.
My bigger problem with Rush/Rubio is that DURING THIS CAMPAIGN Rush has been FAWNING all over Rubio, even going to the level of claiming that Rubio is not GOPe...which sickened everyone listening, and then two days later, and since, again states that Rubio is GOPe, which of course he his. I’ve posted on how Rush has RECENTLY been treating Rubio - seeming to think a ‘great life story’ trumps Gang of Eight.
Rush has NEVER tried treated Kasich, Bush, Linda, or Jeb with that level of kid gloves and now we’re starting to understand why.
It’s very sad and very dangerous to get sucked in, but Rush did, at a very critical time for us...and to this day he’s still having to fight himself regarding Rubio. Rubio should be a NO-BRAINER for any conservative, regardless of whether his father claimed to be dodging bullets on his way here.
Tag line.
“I think Free Republic has been inundated with agent provocateurs as well.”
It certainly seems that way to me. Almost to the point I don’t want to come here, but not yet! Some ridiculous posts and comments.
I will **never** forget how Rush and the other yappers ignored Obama’s eligibility. Never!
If hardcore tyranny comes to our nation, Rush and the other yappers will sell their talents to the fascist oligarchy. The yappers will lick the jackboots crushing our necks. Bet on it.
“When Rush tells a whopper, he has to be called on it.”
Well stated. I suspect the people here trying to defend Rush on this have other objectives that they’re not stating.
Rush’s love of Rubio (at times) is ON THE RECORD...and it doesn’t matter if it’s Dan Rather reporting it or Mark Levin reporting it - facts are facts.
The Herculean effort underway is to justify support and explain away glaring inconsistencies with TRUMP. I am talking about this election cycle, not even going to the past which is a bigger problem. He says one thing one day and then contradicts it another. But it doesn’t matter to the brainwashed. The truth I see is that regardless of what he says we do not know what Trump will do in office. The truth is Trump will do what Trump wants to do. Hopefully his underlying goal is for America’s best. However, I have NO indication of what he bases his decisions upon. You may think you know, but you want to believe what you want to believe. Stop trying to spread the BS to the rest of us.
Just click on the New York Times article then.
“I am not smearing Rubio. He has flip flopped on amnesty and lied about it. He is lying about it still. I would be stupid to not question his other positions, given his track record on that issue. The fault there lies with Rubio. He smeared his constituents by robbing them of their right to choose a representative according to his actual positions. He chose instead to trick them.”
Now THAT, I agree with 100% and it should have disqualified him as a serious candidate from the outset.
Who vetted this conman?

The powers that be vetted this conman. The powers that be vet all the players in D.C. They aren’t invited to come and play in the D.C. casino unless they are already compromised in some way. The powers that be must have the ability to blackmail these senators and representatives back and forth on issues that affect their wealth.
Have you never wondered why so many senators and representatives have been exposed for having problems such as drugs, debt, mistresses, closet homosexuals, ethics violations., etc? The list goes on and on. They pay to play or get outed with their FBI file. It’s just how they do things “Up on the hill.”
That is why we have the Uni-party. To give all us taxpayers the appearance we have a choice. There is only once choice, their choice. The powers that be own both sides of the same coin. There is only the appearance of CHOICE. They just tweak what they offer us with different taste, smell, sound, feeling, vision. BUT THEY OWN IT ALL!

The NSA, CIA, FBI, etc., they couldn’t stop a two-bit hood from Chicago from muscling Roberts on Obamacare? Come on. That was planned for many moons. Nothing in D.C. just happens.
A nitwit peanut farmer governor from Georgia and coke sniffing governor from Arkansas is the best we can do for Presidents? Come on. These people are very carefully selected for the purpose they will serve.
Ask yourself why Donald Trump wants to open up “libel laws.” It won’t just be the press getting sued for libel. It will be anyone who decides to SAY ANYTHING against the powers that be.
Rush’s ignoring Obama’s natural born citizenship, the fake birth documents, the fake social security numbers, no evidence of being on Columbia’s campus....well....**that*** did it for me!
Yep! I am with you. It is the stuff Rush ignores.
There are massive and stinking elephant corpses in the living room and Rush manages to tiptoe around them.
You are right, too, about the humor. It’s gone.
