Fred Thompson on Harry Reid’s attacks on Rush Limbaugh
Congressional Democrats are trying to divert attention from insulting our military leader in Iraq and pandering to the loony left by attacking Rush Limbaugh. He is one of the strongest supporters of our troops, yet Democrats claim he is not being strong enough. I wonder who General Petraeus and his troops think is most supportive?
With respect, I feel I should amplify that statement, like so:
That Democrats repeat the lie, the MSM accepts the lie, and Willard's first instinct is to jump on the dogpile, is all you need to know.
Their own effort at talk radio failed miserably, and they were not able to reconstitute the "fairness doctrine" in time for the 2008 election cycle, so their new plan is to gin up controversies as they have with Rush, raise a fuss, rake in contributions from their Borg base, and then "bank" the issue fore future use. By this last point, I mean that they will assemble a "body of evidence" with which to intimidate advertisers, cajole owners., and finally, justify reinstatement of the "fairness doctrine".
These Democrats are closer to being Stalinist than representatives. If they win more power in 2008, they'll be coming after conservative talk radio and Internet with a vengeance. These people are psychotic, IMHO, and I fear there may come a time when they will simply refuse to give up their power. You said tyranny, and that's the right term to describe them.
I just sent Fred $50 and now I'm sending FRee Republic $50. Thanks for all you do, Jim.
“Is this the interview with Jeri too?”
Yes, coming on now.
Excellent statement by Fred Thompson the next President of the USA.
Fred and Jeri Thompson interview on Hannity and Colmes ping
Prithee Sire - dost thou perceivest whatest mightest be-est the problemest? Of a surety, thou surely dost knowest, Sire!
TV doesn’t work. I’ll wait for a transcript.
Ack!! What show is it on?
Hannity and Coombs, he is just getting ready to address the attacks on Rush by the Dems and Rhinos.
Does anyone know who the guy/vet on Kieth Oberman was? I watch the enemy sometimes.
“If Rush comes out and supports someone in the primaries...I guarantee you it will be Fred.”
He will not actively support anyone in the primaries based on what he has said. Sounds like he does lean towards Fred though. No matter what Republican wins the primaries you can bet the house he will give them his full support in order to beat Hillary.
re#306 Yup.
Re# 310 My point exactly. I still like Hugh (great interviewer and interviews) but listen with a very jaundiced ear...
bump
You remember correctly and it was unbelievable hard for me to listen to. Anyway I don't listen to him anymore and what have that problem in the future [grin]...
I wonder if Romney or his spokesperson even listened to what Rush said. How could they not know that Rush’s remarks were taken out of context by Media Matters, Harry Reid and the rest? Call me naive, but that’s surprising, IMO. I would expect better, even from Romney.
“As a regular Rush listener, I agree with you totally. I’m proud of Fred Thompson for standing up so decisively, and I agree with Rush that it’s an act of courage to do so. I haven’t thought too highly of Thompson to this point, but his actions on behalf of a tremendous patriot (Limbaugh) have added tremendously to his credibility as far as I’m concerned.”
Ditto, word-for-word. :-).
It looks like Demonrat underground liked what Mutt said but they hate Fred and compared him to Reagan.
That may be a good thing?
