"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."

I hear what you say and understand, but you have the legacy of a Bush with a triumvirate opportunity at one point in his Presidency who did sh!t except to give the CIA/FBI/NSA more power to invade our privacy and create the two single biggest agencies that abridge and abuse our freedoms - DHS and TSA. Tell me either are fighting for YOU.
You don’t know...just ducky....well, hell’s bells! You’ve seen what these quisling RINOs do in Congress. Not a damned thing! 2014 gave them the biggest wins they’ve had in recent memory and they actually think it was for THEM! The abject Lunacy! They actually think that vote was a vote endorsing them when it was a “you have one last chance, sucker, don’t blow it.” And what the hell have they done with it?
They prop up a loser Mexican wannabe as the first choice and then when he’s rejected like a stale turd, rally behind Marco Rubio all the while fomenting dissention between Trump and Cruz supporters. Yet, YOU don’t ‘know in your heart what Trump would do’.....lah-de-dah.
I have JUST AS MUCH RIGHT to spread what I think here as you do. The difference is that I’m not here trying to suppress or stop you. You aren’t interested in convincing anyone, fella. And you can bark that crap up another tree.
I say this is Donald being rude and crude again.
It’s one of those things that will never happen, even though by some measure of theoretical cosmic justice it “ought to happen” to the lying news media. The barrier to traverse is way too steep. Even liberals hate to do this.
The barrier that isn’t as hard to traverse is the barrier of common lies that have America wallowing in false guilt trips at the behest of illiberal “liberals.” This has to be actively defended.
Not all threats are at the same plausibility level. It would have been better if a shining Christian knight had shown up on the scene, but frankly this doesn’t appear to be Ted Cruz in his current condition. So we get a rude crude rassler who will still stand up for America.
“Wonder if it was Marco who set Rush up for this NYTs article?”
There are more possibilities than an Agatha Christie novel.
Rubio would certainly have a motive as it’s in his nature and Rush has been praising Trump BIG TIME lately. Discredit Rush, then Trump loses some credibility. But Rubio isn’t alone in wishing Rush out of the way, obviously...just about all the principles have motive.
Someone else mentioned blackmail - who knows, but it certainly explains Justice Roberts - maybe it explains Rush. If Rush does have some kind of skeleton, the BEST THING for him to do is COME CLEAN and expose the blackmailer. Rush is set for life...he has to put the country first now.
Tag line.
I never mentioned my heart fella! I agree about the Rinos and failure to lead. I think I stepped on your toes and thats ok. I predict, not in my heart but in my head, if Trump is elected he will deal with what interests him and leave the rest to McConnell/Ryan/establishment. Based on his comments as an example, will he get Obamacare repealed? If so, he may just put in place single payer. Will he get Planned Parenthood defunded? It doesn’t sound like it because ‘they do wonderful things for many women’ (or something like that). He may require some sort of promise from them to not use funds for abortion and voila! everything can go on as it is. Do you know? I don’t believe you know what the heck he will do. But he sounds good and whatever he does he’ll say it with loudness and no regret and now he has a bullhorn in Christie. And I suppose you will worship everything and be happy ever after. If Trump had a horse it would be white.
WOW! Rubio not a squish moderate? Rush I have some magic potions to sell you...
What really clinched it for me that Rush is part and parcel of the massive media and Establishment attack on Trump is when a caller mentioned that one the republicans, who previously was against Trump now supports him.
Rush replied, “He’s probably looking for a job in the Trump Regime” a word he usually reserves for 0 and other dictators.

All the big names mentioned need to address this on the air or else suffer the consequences.
Having said that, I am not ruling out Democratic Psy Ops...
LOL! Keep up the good work, Onyx, we love ya!!
Okay, “heart” wasn’t specifically in there but that’s what I took from your argument. Regardless, you also don’t know definitively what he won’t do or do, for that matter, even with the knowledge that the establishment’s Golden Boys have proven unmistakably they don’t do what they tell their voters they will do.
Your entire argument is a testament for anything but Trump and the truth is that’s all it will ever be. The fact still remains that I don’t care you’re out here saying what you want; you on the other hand told me to stop spreading the BS....... No sale
Reading the article, this is regarding legal immigrants. 1100 in 15 years. That’s fewer than my own company.
I din’t see blackmail. I see his devotion to Team GOP as his weak spot. Also, his hatred of Hillary has a personal edge. I am quite willing to see her in the WH if the alternative us a treacherous Estab type—like Rubio. It is long time past being held hostage by the Estab because of Hillary.
Well, I just checked and you’re still here. I imagine that will change soon enough.......IBTZ, Lord Byron???
“The arrogance of you yapping terriers, daring to smear Limbaugh - whose boots you’re not fit to wipe. What have you got to balance his decades of fighting the good cause? The only thing I’m struggling with is, what’s Onyx’s principal disorder? We need that for the admissions form”
Physician, heal thyself.. and all that..
I completely agree that any personal attacks on onyx (whom I deeply respect) are completely out of bounds.
Did you forget to mention that Cruz wants an increase in H1-B visas, causing the exact same problem?
I USED to believe that when Rush was kidding when he says...”I’llllllll do your thinking for you.
Wrong. I know what Cruz did. He did what he said he would do. He is my senator. He has taken heat for his stands and there is a reason the establishment treats him much like ‘the one who shall not be named’. I believe he is a bigger threat to them than Trump. Trump says things that sound great, however vague, but lately he is saying contradictory things that should cause us all concern. It’s not what his opponents say about him, it’s his own words. Character? Ivanna’s children are a wonderful testimony but is that her influence or Trumps? He has not been a good husband, serially at different times maybe but not faithful. Marla’s daughter is dating an operative in Hillary’s campaign (I read and saw a very chummy photo). Melania’s son is too young to know how he turns out. I think children are a good indicator so the first batch point to good genes. His personal decisions point to problems.
By stop the BS I don’t mean you should stop telling your opinion. I mean don’t repeat nonsense like some of the articles I have seen. You certainly have every right to continue BS too if you want. Go for it! For now we are free but if Trump gets to change libel laws, as was reported yesterday, we may not be able to participate on FR unless we like Trump.
Thanks, Cats Pajamas. The entitled have no clothes.
None of the attendees agreed to be identified for this article because the conversations were supposed to be confidential.
Now I'm wondering if one of the confidential attendees is Christie. Seems he went rogue.
