During the Clinton years, we had Rush, Sean, some other talk hosts, and a embryonic internet blogosphere. Fortunately, we also had Newt and the “Contract with America” to keep Clinton in check. As left as he was, I thnk Clinton was very far to the right of Obama.
Nine years later, conservative talk radio has succeeded, liberal talk radio has failed miserably. The mainstream media has found that they can no longer simply marginalize Rush as a whacko because oops — independent journalists and other voices can get the facts out much faster and with a wider audience than they.
It’s clear that Team Obama doesn’t know the opponent they are up against: patriotic Americans and even sympathetic freedom loving foreigners who desire to have the truth out at all costs. Their lame attempts to marginalize those not only espousing truth but backing it up with evidence have offended a large part of the American citizenry. They still try to rely on the old tactics of disinformation and propaganda, hoping that the truth will not get out.
But internet bloggers know people who know people and someone is always willing to talk. Thanks to the blogosphere they are getting a voice that they wouldn’t have under the MSM alone. The Dan Rather event of the 2004 election pales in comparison to the pure ignorance by the MSM of the ACORN, Czargate, and other scandals. Yet they still steamroll on, oblivious their end is near.
Thanks to the bravery of James O’Keefe and Hannah Giles, the truth about ACORN was found and recorded. Thanks to the wisdom of Andrew Breitbart, the release of the information was such that it kept the story aloft for more than a single newscycle. Like a prizefighter, the ACORN story packed punch after punch after punch… and the opponent could offer nothing more than a token defense.
Obama has been caught now in lie after lie, scandal after scandal and now even potential crime after crime — or at least “violation of the law” if they want to water it down.
The illegal direcive of the Dept. of Education to state and local schools was first. Now we have the influencing/bullying of arts organizations via NEA funding from the stimulus package.
We are blessed to have this massive network of watchdogs willing to get at the truth and outlets like Sean, Rush, Breitbart and others to disseminate the truth to the masses.
Thank you to them for all they do. For all the risks they are willing to take. For being there for America!
