I just posted this on another thread:

Rush, whatever else he may or may not be, is not stupid. I think he manufactured (perhaps with some hints from the background) this entire Fluke/slut tempest in a teapot.

Why?

It diverts attention from Arpaio’s report and coincidentally Breitbart’s death. Breitbart’s death, the threatening “bomb scare” about Lincoln’s assination that Rush got in the mail, the fact that the media people were threatened years ago not to touch Zero’s eligibilty - etc. Rush is not so stupid as to hound on the slut’s slutdom for days and then apologize. And all the companies pulling advertising is also pre-arranged or at least on directives from “above”. They make tons of money by advertising on his show. It’s meant to warn any other media people not to touch it.

The whole things Stinks totally.

I agree 100% with your assessment of Rush. And I started listening to him when he was local in Sacramento. He changed over the years.

Leftist are fighting dirty - the dirtiest of dirty. They want to re-enact history - like the Bolshevist Revolution, for instance.

Obsessing with off color words - and “slut” is not an off color word, even - is the very best way to make sure that the Left wins.

This is not a parlor game. It’s about the very life and death of our Constiutional Republic. The Left uses every single dirty tactic and crime available to them. I’m not saying those who don’t want the Left to win should commit crimes, but courage and standing on principle and not worrying about being polite are the only freaking way to win. Your way means continuing to compromise, apologize, never discuss the real issues like the crimes the Left commits, make squeaking sounds and lose big. And losing now means losing our Constitutional Republic and maybe our lives.

Facts are facts, and Fluke did not discuss her personal sex life at all.

Actually it was more in the tone of the Royal We.

Rush is Doomed, woe is us.

I always thought that there were way too many commercials on Rush's show anyway.

I just missed that bar of plutonium at the 60 second sale today. Dang!

If you disagree, simply point to anywhere in her testimony where Fluke admitted to being a floozie.

The entire content of her press conference was to prove she was a slut, so get over it, go buy some Pro Flowers, or something.

This is to replace the post that’s (going to be) deleted. I’ve taken out the reference to Corsi’s interview with Alex Jones. The important point is that the media - including so-called “conservative media” (Fox and Clear Channel talk radio) is a propaganda arm of George Soros on the things he cares enough to threaten them over, with enough conservative-sounding talk to maintain credibility with many conservatives.

Here’s the basic info:

I’m pretty sure Clear Channel was one of the radio media companies that was threatened in October of 2008 and again within a few months after the election.

My dealings with my local Fox radio station, KFAB out of Omaha, strongly suggested to me that the threats were extended all the way down to the local level.

What Soros is doing here makes Al Capone seem like a choir boy. This is total, tyrannical control over the airwaves of every square inch of America. I REALLY, REALLY hope Americans wake up to see what’s happening here and decide not to let the Soros coup work.

For those who haven’t been following the story of the media threats, I’ll re-post from a previous post:

The major media companies have been threatened - at least once before the election and at least once in the first few months after the election - with both FCC and FTC annihilation after the election if they reported about Obama’s eligibility issue, and it’s claimed that Glenn Beck left Fox because the threats continued even after Beck ridiculed “birthers” but continued to report on Soros’ and Obama’s ties to communists and Islamists. Beck couldn’t provide protection for the lower-level staffers and Fox refused to provide protection and tried to stop him from exposing Soros’ ties because somebody from Fox’s Board of Directors is tied to Soros financially.

Most people in the major media are in bed with Obama and Soros and their communist-Islamist alliance so they didn’t mind the threats. Doug Hagman says that’s actually what one witness said was brought out in one of the meetings where the media company told the on-air personalities that their jobs would definitely be lost and their lives and families’ lives were questionable if they reported on the eligibility issue.

But the threats were very real for the “conservatives”, which explains why we’re basically functioning without ANY media willing to cover the communist-Islamist coup currently taking place within our own country.

Those claims were made by Doug Hagman. Links are below. The transcript of Hagman’s interview with Laurie Roth can be seen in Tom Ballantyne’s book “Oh Really O’Reilly”, for anybody who doesn’t want to slog through 3 hours of audio.

And Mike Zullo, commander of Sheriff Arpaio’s Cold Case Posse, has verified that the threats actually did take place. See http://www.wnd.com/2012/03/did-threats-silence-media-on-obama-probe/ for the article, and/or see http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2856160/posts for discussion regarding the article.

I’ll post here a comment I made earlier that gives the links for the Hagman information. I should also add that before I got confirmation of the accuracy of Hagman’s claims from Mike Zullo personally, I constructed a timeline of events related to potential Soros threats, and based on that timeline I had already seen that Hagman’s claims were very credible, which is why I reported them to Zullo and why he investigated them himself. (It was when I tried to forward my timeline to Zullo that my ISP informed me that my reply to Mike’s e-mail couldn’t be sent because the address failed; so I forwarded it to a go-between who forwarded it to him with no problem. Somebody with power to control the ISP didn’t want me communicating with Mike about Soros’ threats.)

Those threats were actually basically repeated PUBLICLY when Media Matters told Ben Smith that they were conducting guerrilla warfare against Fox, trying to get British regulators to destroy NewsCorp - right after Hannity had agreed with Trump’s statements that Obama should release a BC (which led to the release of what the posse has now confirmed is a forged BC).

Here is what I posted earlier about this, which puts into perspective Breitbart’s death, the bomb scare with Rush Limbaugh, and the presser all happening on the same day (taken from the thread at http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/2854663/posts ) :

Right, but if he depends on Clear Channel for anybody to hear him, they can tell him what to say.

And this is a critical issue because Soros has threatened the media companies - including both TV and radio - if they reported on the eligibility issue. The same day as Sheriff Arpaio had a press conference saying there is probable cause that Obama’s birth certificate and draft registration are both forged, two of the most independent and effective conservative media entities received “messages” intended to be overheard by every reporter at that presser. Rush had the bomb threat situation. And just hours after interviewing Sheriff Arpaio, Breitbart was dead.

So the country isn’t hearing that a law enforcement investigation found that Obama’s records are forged. They’re hearing that Limbaugh called a gal a slut.

What the MEDIA, though, is hearing, is that Soros meant what he said when he threatened them - because Soros is working on taking out anybody in the media who MIGHT HAVE reported on the crimes that Soros & Co have committed to take the White House and country by an illegal coup.

The media is scared spitless. WND has also reported on this now; a thread about it is at http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2856160/posts. Doug Hagman had investigated that, and the posse has corroborated his claims. What Hagman said was that the media people he spoke to were scared - and that was long before this situation with Breitbart and Limbaugh.
