No one is safe, not even Rush. All it would take would be one “incident,” and the MSM and race baiters would seize on it in a huge orchestrated campaign to get rid of him. They would scare the advertisers away thru threat and bluster. Rush lost his job on ESPN and was excoriated repeatedly over a period of years to this very date about his harmless remarks concerning Donovan McNabb.

Actually Olbermann is Counterfeiting the noise of thunder and believing he is Zeus. Rush has been watched since the be began. MediaMatters.com exists to do nothing else but monitor the right and there are others.

Olbermann is irritating, not scary himself.

To ensure an Obama or Clinton victory the leftists think they have to control the media and stifle the voices of reason. Knowing they can grip the the weakminded with global warming and other fallacies, they must feel confident they can pull it off.

.Olbermann is irritating, not scary himself.

Olbermann is not by himself nor are his views unique. Sharpton, emboldened by his success, says this is only the beginning. You can bet that the Left will not only monitor Rush more closely, but also, review his past shows to find some sort of pretext to get the ball rolling. I believe Hillary would like to shut down or muzzle most of talk radio before 2008. Although Imus was a venue to mostly libs, people like McCain and Lieberman [a liberal but not on the war] were regulars. This venue has now been shut down.

It would have to be a mighty big incident. His show brings in a lot of money. I doubt he would be so foolish as to issue more than a simple apology either.

Sharpton will certainly try to feather his nest at the expense
of anyone who would be of use to his scam. I do perceive resentment against him. I hope he overplays his hand.

The race hustlers and grievance mongers have been coming at Limbaugh with hammers and tongs (and cliches) for so long, he’s essentially immunized from their attacks.

I think the difference between Limbaugh and most of his White critics is that Limbaugh is genuinely color blind; I don’t think he cares a whit about a person’s race. Most White liberals secretly hold Black people in contempt, they ooze patronization and condescension out of every pore.

I think a lot of Black people sense this. Astute con artist like Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton have made a career out of it, they game the White network execs into ordaining them the spokesmen for the Race, since they willingly adopt the attitudes and postures congenial to the execs’ world view of Blacks as outraged victims.

Clarence Thomas, Professors Sowell and Williams, can all go to the back of the bus, as far as they are concerned.

For Al it is about power and money. He resents being eclipsed by Obama as the token Black candidate for President. I think Biden, by accident, actually spoke the truth about Obama and his indirect comparison with Al and Jesse.

Biden: “I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy,” he said. “I mean, that’s a storybook, man.”

Olbermann isn’t the sharpest knife in the drawer. Someone will bait him and in his exhuberance, he’ll slip out with something that’ll relegate himself to the “has-bin”. Imus set himself up by actually thinking he was offering a positive comment on the team's toughness.

**********************************************************

From the April 4 edition of MSNBC’s Imus in the Morning:

IMUS: So, I watched the basketball game last night between — a little bit of Rutgers and Tennessee, the women’s final.

ROSENBERG: Yeah, Tennessee won last night — seventh championship for [Tennessee coach] Pat Summitt, I-Man. They beat Rutgers by 13 points.

IMUS: That’s some rough girls from Rutgers. Man, they got tattoos and — —

McGUIRK: Some hard-core hos.

IMUS: That’s some nappy-headed hos there. I’m gonna tell you that now, man, that’s some — woo. And the girls from Tennessee, they all look cute, you know, so, like — kinda like — I don’t know.

McGUIRK: A Spike Lee thing.

IMUS: Yeah.

McGUIRK: The Jigaboos vs. the Wannabes — that movie that he had.

IMUS: Yeah, it was a tough —

McCORD: Do The Right Thing.

McGUIRK: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

IMUS: I don’t know if I’d have wanted to beat Rutgers or not, but they did, right?

ROSENBERG: It was a tough watch. The more I look at Rutgers, they look exactly like the Toronto Raptors.

IMUS: Well, I guess, yeah.

RUFFINO: Only tougher.

McGUIRK: The [Memphis] Grizzlies would be more appropriate.

************************************************************

It's been my observation those who rush to judgement of someone's error have either been guilty of or are soon to be making the same mistake.

Careful of your six, Olbermann. As with everyone, there's a very vulnerable place on your back you can't easily guard alone.

When Olberman talks, its like a tree falling in the forest when no one is there, he has no audience so his words float to the ground and are absorbed in the muck he has created.

Limbaugh does not offend his listeners, that is the difference.

Olberman is the guy we all wanted to “punch out” in grade school or high school.

Only problem is when we confronted him, he would shrivel away.

Attack is the only way to handle these hypocrites...........
