On private call, Republicans say attacking Obama personally is too dangerous: Yahoo News exclusive
YAHOO ^ | December 6, 2011 | Rachel Rose Hartman

Republicans on a private Republican National Committee conference call with allies warned Tuesday that party surrogates should refrain from personal attacks against President Barack Obama, because such a strategy is too hazardous for the GOP.

"We're hesitant to jump on board with heavy attacks" personally against President Obama, Nicholas Thompson, the vice president of Tarrance Group, a Republican polling firm, said on the call. "There's a lot of people who feel sorry for him."

(snip)

On the call--which Yahoo News was invited to attend because of a mistake by someone on the staff of the Republican National Committee--Ari Fleischer, the former press secretary for George W. Bush, encouraged Republicans to turn around the Democratic attacks lobbed at the GOP presidential candidates-- Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich, for starters-- for "flip-flopping."

Never attack personally, they never went after GW personally and it sure worked for them.

Have we lost our collective minds?

Figure it out people, the political elite are the enemies and that includes the Republican establishment.

If the head of Yahoo News was party to a private RNC call, we need to fire the RNC and put some conservatives in there.

I’ve often wondered if Rush reads this site. I know FReepers are waaaaayyyyy ahead of ANY news outlet out there. ;-)

And, Hannity???? Pffffft.

Levin and Rush is ‘where it’s at’ in talk radio AFAIC. Beck is a close third.

That’s it. And the ones supposed to be on the other side from the marxists/Dems have not an atom of courage.
