It doesn't matter what the actual issue is, that is the MO.
We should be discussing what WE can do about it.
For example, check out this thread Attack by Limbaugh Awakens a ‘Stop Rush’ Campaign.
The story goes on about a person who started a Twitter campaign called StopRush, which FReeper research (not the driveby media) discovered was owned by one Angelo Carusone, who via said mentioned Freeper Research, turns out to be a ‘Campaign Director’ for Media Matters!!!
Now here's my point:
Where is OUR campaign on Twitter?????
The FACT that Fluke is ACTUALLY a Left Wing Feminist Activist is not told by the driveby media. The FACT that the owner of the Twitter account is actually a Campaign Director of Media Matters is NOT told by the media. She is described as a "student", the StopRush guy is only that, and nothing more.
I'm SICK of it. We rag on how the Republicans DON'T fight back, but we--meaning you reading this--don't EITHER.
Are you on Twitter????
If so, reply to mediadecodernyt on Twitter (it is Brian Stelter, NYT reporter/blogger), who wrote the StopRush story above. Ask him why he calls Fluke a "student", without telling us she is also a femenist activist? Isn't THAT relevent to the story (answer, damn straight it is!)? Why keep that part out of the story UNLESS you are biased (answer - you ARE!)?
They create a Twitter account called StopRush and start hammering Limbaugh's sponsors? Where is OUR Twitter account to support Rush?
We don't DO social media like the dems, and we really, really NEED to start or WE WILL LOSE THIS ELECTION!!!
Complaining on Free Republic to FReepers ISN'T ENOUGH!!!
WE seriously need to start fighting back!
Reply to me. Tell me what you think of this. Who wants to join me on Twitter and elsewhere?
Enough, let's get off our backsides and DO SOMETHING!!!
I think, of course, you are absolutely right.
I have no idea how to do Twitter but I can send a Tweet, no expert on it though.
Sometimes I just get so overwhelmed by how they pound the living hell out of us I feel like my head is spinning.
First, let me say that I am guilty myself of sitting on my butt ..... and that is going to change, pronto.
That being confessed, let me say, after the tragic events of this past week: Breitbart Is Here ... because Breitbart’s in all of us now ... in every heart of every Liberty loving American ... representing vitality, passion, freedom, brilliance, possibility and strength. American Patriots, you’ve been handed the torch. The George Orwell legend, “In an era of universal deceit, the truth is a revolutionary act”. To cower in silence is no longer an option.
Know nothing about Twitter but I agree with you. It’s almost gotten bigger than Facebook.
I don’t post political stuff on Facebook as I consider it a Social Network and don’t want to alienate the few friends I have.
However, I would do it on twitter. Maybe I should learn something new.
Although I’m really tired of having to learn new stuff.
However, this time, it's bahhh, bahhh, bahhh.
Posting righteous indignation on Free Republic soothes the savage beast.
Actually getting physical? Risking something, anything? Not so much.
The left does what it does because they can, they have, and they see that the general populace can be repeatedly slapped in the face, and all they do is ask forgiveness for their perceived transgressions.
Wait 'til next election, we'll show them, by gosh!

I have been on Twitter for a long time. I routinely bring this stuff up and am in constant warfare with Eric Boehlert and others. (I will say that Jake Tapper of ABC blocked me for criticizing him.)
I am not defending Rush because he is so consumed with his own ego that he caused harm to a very real religious freedom issue, and people who continue this are simply falling into the same trap.
Ms. Fluke is a leftist activist and probably a Marxist who by her own statements enrolled in Georgetown in order to go to war with the Catholic Church.
For non-Catholics, I am sure these seems a bewildering religious fight, but it is a very real concern to me and you and other practicing Catholics. Rush stupidly fell into the trap and he is going to be hung around our necks for the rest of the election.
Our target is not Carbonite, or Ms. Fluke, or anyone else except OBAMA. Focus, people! Rush can take care of himself. If you get out there acting like his attacks on Ms. Fluke were acceptable, you play into the left’s narrative that the GOP is full of woman-haters who want to police people’s bedrooms.
This is the same damn thing they did with Clinton. They turned the narrative to “it’s all about sex.” And we see how well THAT worked for us.
Smarten up! Attack Obama on religious freedom, the economy, joblessness, foreign policy, his increase to the troops on their healthcare, his contempt for the Constitution. There is PLENTY to go after.
Do NOT let this degenerate into a birth control argument! That is completely stupid!
I did just that I ask this guy the questions you asked, awaiting an answer
