It’s not just Rush that knows little about the various far left organizations and their different front groups, it’s actually most of them. Hannity, for example, rarely, if ever, mentioned that Bill Ayers and his group were communist. Nor the fact that he is still one today. Yet Ayers and the other WU members openly boast(ed) about it. They were even linked to the Soviet Union through agents in Cuba. He never mentioned that the Weather Underground, in addition to Rev Wright (via the phony church movement “Black Liberation Theology”) advocated communist “Black Liberation”. Obviously the murderous Black Liberation Army (and Black Panthers) advocated it. Yet these things were rarely, and in some cases, never, mentioned by Hannity and most of the other hosts, prior to the elections and largely to this day.
Yet one would think what they did say about Obama, Ayers, the WU and Wright should have been sufficient. But leaving these and many other such important historical details out missed a big part of what was happening then as well as today. IMO, Glenn Beck, by far, was the best of the hosts, particularly on the details and various connections between individuals, groups, and movements.
Jeez, I wonder who you and Jimmy were listening to. But it doesn't sound like the Limbaugh or Hannity shows I was listening tov...
Hannity frequently made mention of the 9/11/01 NYT piece on William Ayers that got buried by the WTC attack. And that Ayers claimed to still be a "communist" (lower case "c").
Hannity is also the one that bought the recordings of Rev. Wright's sermons and played them on his air. He correctly identified them at the time as representative of "black liberation theology" and he accurately described what that meant.
Maybe your brother knows more about the Left's network and organizational super-structure than anybody else in the whole wide world. Certainly, there is much to know about in this regard.
But, a listener to Rush and to Hannity from the outset of the Obama candidacy would be reasonably well-informed on his associates and background.
I'd grant they both hesitated to apply the "C" word to Obama -- but there was no reluctance to apply it to Ayers, Wright, et al.
