I was surfing the dial during the nightly newscasts looking for details on our Presdients speech tonight and lo and behold Tom Brokaw in the first 5 minutes had video from the Rush cam and audio of Rush enorsing Dubya's actions like that was a stamp of approval from the grass roots.
I have never seen Rush featured so prominently before on a nightly newscast, is this the result of the heat we here at FR have been bringing down on El Rushbo since his Bush bashing Monday?
I honestly can't remember Rush making the evening newscasts ever since the 'hate radio' debates of 1995-and does he speak for us as a whole most of the time?
I'll bet. I quit watching the little three as soon as I watched the first Fox News and I've never gone back. Now I might start surfing just to see if I can catch a gem like that one.
Let the Senate Democrats wrestle with this..
Hart/Rudman -- 21st Century Commission Recommends New Anti-Terror Cabinet Agency
The article is from February 2, 2001
Sounds fine with me, cuz this time around, the targets are the ME extremists, not me. Do I care? No, cuz this has no equivalency to what the Nazi's did to the Jews. I have absolutely NO qualms about profiling Middle Eastern men; they, and they alone, perpetrate the horrors against Americans. We are right and moral, they are wrong and murderous. So there.
What? Please repeat that question.
Maybe NBC is giving Rush face time because someone FINALLY recognizes Limbaugh as America's foremost political commentator!!! Good for him! The more they keep this up, the more sheeple that watch NBC nightly news will come to know him in a positive way--not as the "right-wing blabbermouth" he was made out to be for so many years by the mainstream media.
Like what? I'm having trouble thinking of other examples.
I'd like to know what that meant, as well.
As a follow up, the earliest use of the term that I was able to find is from the 2nd report from the US Commission on National Security/21 Century, which was published on April 15, 2000. While this is the first use of "homeland security" I could find, it should be noted that the first phase report, issued in September 1999, frequently refers to "homeland defense" in a consistent context. Now, while the term "homeland defense" has been used for quite some time, historically when referring to the Soviet nuclear threat, the first time I have been able to find it used in our current context is from a Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) Roundtable titled "Terrorism and Homeland Defense" from April 12, 1999. Here is a link
For those of you who are wondering what the CFR has to do with this, I point you to a previous post of mine, here (#52 - second one down). Also, I have found poking around the CFR webpage to be helpful when considering how we got to where we are today in terms of "homeland security".
Can't find the clip.
