More commentators are voicing concerns about the recklessness of conservative talk show hosts. Former Reagan speechwriter Peggy Noonan (in photo) said ranters aren’t responsible critics. “This isn’t debate, it’s more like incitement,” she warned. Columnist David Brooks said the undeserved influence of Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck and Sean Hanity is “the story of media mavens who claim to represent a hidden majority but who in fact represent a mere niche — even in the Republican Party. It is a story as old as ‘The Wizard of Oz,’ of grand illusions and small men behind the curtain.” Steven F. Hayward of the conservative American Enterprise Institute worried that “the brain waves of the American right continue to be erratic, when they are not flat-lining.”

Crybaby jealous libs.
They want to control the airwaves too.
“the story of media mavens who claim to represent a hidden majority but who in fact represent a mere niche”
————————————————
If it’s such a small niche, then what do they have to fear?
The left wants to control all the doublethink.
Ministry of Truth (Newspeak: Minitrue)
The propaganda arm of Obama regime, controlling information: news, entertainment, education, and the fine arts.
“the story of media mavens who claim to represent a hidden majority but who in fact represent a mere niche”
—————————————————-
Maybe.
Either way the number of listeners is what keeps them on the air.
If that’s a niche, it remains the largest out there.
“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.”
- Joseph Goebbels
Steven F. Hayward of the conservative American Enterprise Institute worried that “the brain waves of the American right continue to be erratic, when they are not flat-lining.”
————————————-
I suppose the Libs will force those who disagree with them, to THINK like they do.
Thought Police.
“Think of the press as a great keyboard on which the government can play.”
- Joseph Goebbels
“In relation to the political decontamination of our public life, the government will embark upon a systematic campaign to restore the nation’s moral and material health. The whole educational system, theater, film, literature, the press and broadcasting –
all these will be used as a means to this end.”
Adolf Obama
For this, to be sure, from the child’s primer down to the last newspaper, every theater and every movie house, every advertising pillar and every billboard, must be pressed into the service of this one great mission, until the timorous prayer of our present parlor patriots: ‘Lord, make us free!’ is transformed in the brain of the smallest boy into the burning plea: ‘Almighty God, bless our arms when the time comes; be just as thou hast always been; judge now whether we be deserving of freedom; Lord, bless our battle!”
- Adolf Hitler’s prayer, Mein Kampf, Vol. 2 Chapter 13
If it is a “mere niche”, why are the LIBs so upset?
Why is this a thread?
Why a Radio Czar?
Why does BlueJay listen to the RW radio 24/7?
It is a great tragedy that so many otherwise good people are goaded into voting against their own best interests by cults of personality.
They will have to go down with the ship they sailed on.
Some people refuse to be saved from themselves. I will shed no tears for the darker forces behind the party that will be sucked down the drain of a handful of egomaniacs.
Is Brownlee threatening Conservatives with his title?
“More warnings to conservatives”
And Brownlee actually found THREE articles supporting his attack on Conservatives. I bet that took a lot of research work to find those.
What this means is, the Libs actually FEAR the Conservatives after seeing the Conservative Revolt in August.
He ain’t seen nuthin yet.
“By the skillful and sustained use of propaganda, one can make a people see even heaven as hell or an extremely wretched life as paradise.”
Adolf Hitler
Bring your revolt! My hands thirst for a con neck to wring!
They should take lessons from David Letterman and just boink female college interns while living with another woman.
My hands thirst for a con neck to wring!-BlueJay
=====================
That would require an effort on your part.
I don’t think you have it in ya.
Yap on, BlueJay, yap on.
“How fortunate for governments that the people they administer don’t think.”
Adolf Hitler
Why is liberal commentary a “warning” and conservative commentary “incitement”?
Really it should be the other way around.

In less than a half-hour CONs chime desperately trying to convince someone, anyone (themselves?) they aren’t a marginalized minority.
Good luck with that, CONs.
The Tinfoil Helmet Brigade has always marched to the drumbeat of both its own paranoia and its delusions of grandeur. Its two basic premises that A. everyone is out to get them, and B. that they have an unspoken mandate from the vast majority of the population quite effectively demonstrates their total lack of a cognitive capacity and logical skill-set.
Like so many other diseases, it tends to be hereditary, so they’ll likely be with us (and/or against us) for some time to come before evolution finally eliminates them. But since nature abhors vacuums, we can rest assured that once they’re extinct, some other form of nutzery will come fill their former niche. It’s the cross intelligent people everywhere have borne for at least as long as Homo Sapiens Sapiens has existed, and no doubt always will.

Personally, I find it laughable that LIBs are warning CONs and telling them how to run their party.
LIBs….HA!
Take your stress pill, AmWay. The article is about self-responsibilty and not about censorship.
When some little band of conservative protesters in Wichita Kansas in front of our legislator’s offices are being entertained by somebody talking about his supply of guns and about how “Obama being whacked.. would be the best possible outcome” there is a sickness in the body-politic.
It’s just a dark path and an ugly journey that the right is on now as they wander in the desert.
Jim,
When all of you CONs can agree on ONE spelling of “amnesty”, THEN I’ll be afraid.
The overwhelming majority that is liberal really needs to quit listening to these conservative commentators. The plummet in ratings will have their shows off the air in no time.
Well, when you reach a certain amount of personal wealth. You no longer have to out compete with the poor.
You can exploit them, through low wages, and manipulate tax laws if you decide to get involved in politics.

“the story of media mavens who claim to represent a hidden majority but who in fact represent a mere niche”
————————————————
If it’s such a small niche, then what do they have to fear?
–
Maybe you have problem with reading comprehension but the people who are expressing this fear are fellow Republicans!
And these sane Republicans know that the majority of Americans look at the current Republican Party and see a bunch of overpaid talking heads spewing nonsense.
If you doubt that, then look at the latest poll ranking the Republican Party in Congress in the single digits as to who Americans trust.
More commentators are voicing concerns about the recklessness of conservative talk show hosts.
This, folks, is preparing the battleground for the hard work of quitely dismantling much of the 1st amendment. And they’ll seek to do so in the name of “preventing incitement” or “curbing excess.” they’ll even call it, in true doublespeak fashion, “Fairness.” All while they pat us on the head and remind us it is “for the children” (of course, they consider anyone other than the chosen governing class to be “children”).
As usual, the left tolerates dissent only as long as it does not dissent from the left’s preferred points of view. This from the same folks who reminded us not so many months ago that “dissent is the highest form of patriotism.” What the left failed to add to that line was the unspoken but clearly intended corrollary: – “as long as you voice the approved points of view.”
Witness this little bit of ironic insanity from the WH communications director: “”We’re going to treat them the way we would treat an opponent,’ said Anita Dunn, the White House communications director, in a telephone interview on Sunday. ‘As they are undertaking a war against Barack Obama and the White House, we don’t need to pretend that this is the way that legitimate news organizations behave.’”
http://www.nytimes.com/2009/10/12/business/media/12fox.html?_r=1
Wow.
Well, OF COURSE they’re the opposition. News media are supposed to be the opposition in a free society (as opposed to the fawning lovefest that has been daily fare at ABC, NBC, CNBC, CNN, CBS). Note the carefully placed use of the term “legitimate.” “Legitimate” here means “agrees with and supports the Administration.” If you don’t, you’re not legitimate. It carries much the same meaning as “reasonable” does in other contexts – to marginialize the opposition as “unreasonable.”
It’s also a carefully placed shot across the bow at the rest of the MSM – tow the line or you too will be cut off.
Some in this administration apparantly need to pull up their big-boy panties and man-up. Criticism comes with the job; if you can’t stand the heat, get out of the kitchen.

I don’t think it is the liberals listening to these talking heads – liberals are too busy going to their jobs and paying taxes for the likes of the Fox News and Rush supporters.
Fox News and Rush know their audience is in the class of white, old, uneducated, unemployed, living on food stamps, have their kids on that government-run health care program they keep belly aching about.
Why don’t we start pulling all those government-provided benefits from this class of Fox News and Rush listeners and then we’ll see how fast those ratings plummet.
Poor little things, they won’t have any tax subsidy paying their rent in order to put that new-fangled television/radio on the top of their gun-displaying case.

John Ensign admitted to having sex with his staffer and then it was reported Ensign’s parents paid the mistress, her husband and her children. And wasn’t it another fine upstanding Republican Sen. Tom Coburn who mediated a settlement in order for all this nastiness to just go away?

Seems to me those same wingnuts, Limbaugh, beck, O’Reilly, Hannity, et al, were pounding the airwaves with Obama bad this and Obama bad that and he’s a Muslim; he’s born in Kenya; he’ associates with terrorists ad infinitum, during the election. Funny thing is, it didn’t do a bit of good. He got elected anyway. Now they whine when conservatives write how nutty wingnuts are becoming. Pretty soon, they’ll be whining about conservatives not being wingnutty enough . . . wait . . . they already do.
I got an idea: run out in the street and shout to the rooftops, “Us wingnuts are dumb as hell, and we ain’t gonna take it anymore!”

I know you’re tongue is firmly in cheek, David. but it’s far more true than you’d like to admit. Your guy sees gov’t regulation as the answer to every problem, gov’t as the first place to look for every solution. But more gov’t always – always – equals less freedom.
You see gov’t as a provider more economic security, and it may be. But that security comes at a price, and the Franklin quote so often trotted out some time back is no less applicable here.

I think that the dims need to quit complaining and listen to whoever they want to listen to. There is always Air America – I guess it is still out there somewhere.
Why in a country that has freedom of speech are journalists and the White House trying to stifle an outlet like Obamas team is doing with Fox News? Makes you wonder what it is they don’t want the public to know.
As I said listen to what you want. Just don’t try to control the airwaves or the news media. The sleepers have awakened and they are not liking what they see. Right now Fox News is far and away the most watched new channel. Its audience is comprised of conservatives, moderates and a growing number of liberals. So I would say this wasn’t the smartest fight to pick.

Just get your message out there libs. IF your message is utopia for all, then NOTHING, Fox news or right wing radio can say or do, will prevent you from winning in 2010.
Supposedly YOU all are the only ones putting the truth out, so let the voters decide. According to you, there are more of you then conservatives, so get on with it. Tell president hussein and nancy and harry to give us all the utopia they talk about.
And THAT will guarantee, 2010 victory
Interesting listening to Juan Williams a black liberal on Fox news. He lambasted the white house for what he calls ’stupidity’ in picking this fight with talk radio and Fox news. He said fully a third of Fox’s listeners are liberals.
This might be a very big mistake for the Obama team. Just a sign of the arrogance they have embodied since elected.
Libs won the election. They have plans. They have the votes. They can push and pass anything they can garner the votes for. What is the holdup? Why are they trying to blame the right for their failure?
Couild it be that the truth has seen the light of day and it can no longer be kept in that locked room that existed during the election.
We will see who the real journalists are now and who will back down to the Obama team.
It’s no surprise the entire argument of Peggy Noonan, David Brooks, Steven F. Hayward and many other conservative thinkers is lost the local talent.
Please explain exactly how Fox News has been ’stifled’? I am dying to here this one..

I’m familiar with Portnoy’s Complaint…I was wondering how it related to the thread topic or related exclusively to Duh Libs.
David I would help you out but then you would accuse me of spreading propoganda. All day long the white house reps have been out on the news circuit saying that no white house representatives would appear on any Fox news shows. Look up a person named Anita Dunn. Also Alexlerod.
If this was a move meant to ‘put Fox in its place’ as the writers here Noonan and Brooks have attempted to do – I fear it has failed.
“He said fully a third of Fox’s listeners are liberals.”
We listen like we watch Three Stooges reruns – for the comic relief.
Why didn’t the Con/Republicans refer to him as “President Walker?”
That makes about as much sense as “President Hussein.”

Interesting listening to Juan Williams a black liberal on Fox news.
==-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-===
What does the skin color of Juan Williams have to do with anything?
I’ve never seem you describe Limbaugh, Beck, O’Reilly, Olbermann, Matthews, Beck, or Gregory as ‘white’ commentators.
What’s up with that?
“Just don’t try to control the airwaves or the news media. ”
Sounds like a plea!
I don’t want talk radio silenced. I DO demand that they allow equal time. My heart cries every time a good working person calls in to support some SOB who makes hundreds of millions of dollars a year talking on the radio for three hours.
“the sleepers have awakened ”
A well swung ball peen hammer will take care of that!
“no white house representatives would appear on any Fox news shows”
Fox “news’ is evil.
‘Obviously [the President] will go on Fox because he engages with ideological opponents. He has done that before and he will do it again… when he goes on Fox he understands he is not going on it as a news network at this point. He is going on it to debate the opposition.” – Anita Dunn, a white woman.
“Interesting listening to Juan Williams a black liberal”
Funny you didn’t take exception with ‘liberal’. You are the party of racism. Trying to put a racial spin on something that is self explanatory.
“warnings”
1. An intimation, threat, or sign of impending danger or evil.
2.
a. Advice to beware.
b. Counsel to desist from a specified undesirable course of action.
3. A cautionary or deterrent example.
4. Something, such as a signal, that warns.
And just who are the authors to warn anyone?
Well David since he went on 5 networks on his propoganda Sunday tour and turned down Chris Wallace on Fox – that would appear to be a lie now wouldn’t it?
Chris Wallace is one of the most fair interviewers you will ever find BTW.
Wrong fight to pick I’m thinking.
Well, okkee, since you always agree with President Obama on everything else, there must be something to this terrible blow against responsible journalism.
“propoganda (sic) Sunday tour ” ????
A telling way to describe interviews…
I always call him, Juan Williams, Washington Post reporter and NPR commentator.

Well David since he went on 5 networks on his propoganda Sunday tour and turned down Chris Wallace on Fox – that would appear to be a lie now wouldn’t it?
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
President Obama has already been interviewed by those other white guys at FOX, Hannity and O’Reilly. Is every hack at that network entitled to a sit down with President Obama?
I wonder what this deep sense of entitlement in Wallace stems from?

I’m familiar with Portnoy’s Complaint…I was wondering how it related to the thread topic or related exclusively to Duh Libs.
============================================
Troll-monkey likes to think he has a lock on multi-syllabic words. Understand he has little knowledge of what he writes, but the dictionary is his friend . . . maybe his only one, but still . . .
Blue,
“Fox “news’ is evil.”
No, Fox is just willing to say and do anything for a buck, just like every other business. Rupert doesn’t give a rats ass about American politics, his only interest is in keeping his bank accout full, and he hires the common taters that fill it. As soon as someone comes along that does it better, they’ll all be out the door and on unemployment.
Well, well, well. Once again the libs are trying to tell us who we should listen to. Its bad enough that you think you should pick our candidates, now you try to tell us who our conservative voices should be.
First of all, Noonan, Brooks, Hayward, etc. are inside the beltway Cons. They breathe the air and drink the water that makes them think they are all wise and knowing. They attend all the cocktail parties that the DC libs throw and value their standing with that crowd far more than they care what real America thinks. They have adopted the pre 94 republican mindset of the permanent minority and are quite comfortable begging for scraps from the master’s table.
Thats why Rush, Sean, Glenn, Levin and other like minded Conservatives are so popular. They are not giving an inch to these Statist weenies. They know that they can and will be defeated, regardless of what the so called intellectual Conservatives keep telling us. Thats because a lot of us would still rather die on our feet than live on our knees.

Interesting listening to Juan Williams a black liberal on Fox news. He lambasted the white house for what he calls ’stupidity’ in picking this fight with talk radio and Fox news. He said fully a third of Fox’s listeners are liberals.

Ya, Cry Baby Obama Whines About Fox News, Obama Can’t Stand the Light of Day
White House Escalates War of Words With Fox News
Anita Dunn, White House communications director, calls Fox News a “wing of the Republican Party,” after the White House began using its government blog to criticize “Fox lies.”

Let’s See, Obama Does Not Enforce Illegal Immigration Law, But Obama DOES Attack 1st Amendment
Poor baby.
Obama was hear crying,
“Why is Fox News always pickin on me?”
“Troll-monkey likes to think he has a lock on multi-syllabic words.”
Well, I would have to disagree, Mr. Walker. The Troll is an expert on everything.
After all, he has degrees in Sociology, Scientology, Climatology, Paleontology, Archeology, Political Science, History, Criminology, Psychology, Medicine, Radiology, Literature, Fine Arts, Music, Cinematography, Photography, Journalism, Cosmetology, Military History, Engineering, Science, Astrology, Physics, Theology, Chiropractic, Comparative Religion, Sex Education, Finance, Economics, Chemistry, Biology, Journalism, Fashion, Art and many, many other subjects.
It is nothing short of amazing that the Troll has been able to collect so many degrees in his brief lifetime.
Truly, the Troll is a legitimate expert on everything.
“Thats why Rush, Sean, Glenn, Levin and other like minded Conservatives are so popular. ”
There are many people who would enjoy watching evictions, crashes at car races, and natural disasters hurting people. All you have proved is that their is an audience for the socially arrested.
Which is why BJ listens to Rush every day – he has admitted that he is socially arrested.
There seems to be a backlash against the con ranters.
Their master, Rush Limbaugh, has the money to buy a football team.
But Rush has a problem. He cannot buy players to play a sport that fat Rush never could! They will not play for a team owned by the bigot and feudalist Rush.
Well, Rush will always have his lawn jockey Snerdley and his servile staff.
I don”t like Peggy Noonan. She put words in the mouth of the zombie Ronald Reagan.
But give her her props. She called it when McCain chose Sarah Palin as a running mate,
“It’s over”.
She is correct here too of course.
Damn.
I missed this thread.
Coulda been fun.
Yeah, the Republicans better try some new angles other than bashing Obama if they want to regain any power sooner than later. Because he was just awarded the nobel peace price. The world, except for conservative America is on board with Obama’s administration.
You guys are still choking on the dust cloud we left you behind in.
Consider Brownlee scared. His party runs everything in Washington so he has to find someone to demonize.
Does the Eagle post warnings for liberals?
Darkness attempting to illuminate light.
CrossChris,
“Once again the libs are trying to tell us who we should listen to.”
Well, if you lack the intelligence to choose wisely, you might be better off if you weren’t so pigheaded and took some advice from someone smarter than yourself.
“Slavery built the South. I’m not saying we should bring it back. I’m just saying it had its merits. For one thing, the streets were safer after dark.’”
Rush Limbaugh
