People, people, people. You might hate O’Reilly with a passion. Stand in line. There is something far more insidious going on here.
First, you take out Imus. That’s easy. He’s paid to make crude, inflamatory, bigoted statements. Out he goes. You try to get Savage for some minor quibble, surround his studio with illegal immigrant supporters, scream and yell. It doesn’t work; maybe next time. Now aim for O’Reilly. He’s a big, bloated target who sometimes doesn’t exactly match his opinions to the facts. Call him a racist. Wear him down. You’ll notice that O’Reilly has few fans in the corner of the political spectrum which defends free speech. I’ve read the gleeful commentary here about how this couldn’t happen to a nicer guy. Those targeting O’Reilly know this, which is why he is the target.
Will someone out there kindly quote Saul Alinsky about the use of character assassination and rumor to destroy the opposition? Nah, it feels too good to watch O’Reilly squirm.
This is a pattern of behavior targeting people perceived to be conservatives, in my opinion. If I’m wrong, good. If not, God help us.
Not to mention that report by the Clintonista who said talk radio was unbalanced and needed reform, and all the mention of bringing back the Fairness Doctrine.
“This is a pattern of behavior targeting people perceived to be conservatives, in my opinion. If I’m wrong, good. If not, God help us.”
Why can’t people look through the forest and past the trees ... Soros!
Yeah here's a great example:
