via The White House direct the FCC to investigate Rush Limbaugh for biased and distorted news and for making intimidating statements On February 29 and March 1, 2010, Rush Limbaugh broadcast biased and distorted news commentary as well as intimidating statements about an individual, Sandra Fluke. On the air, he called Fluke a “slut” and a prostitute in response to Congressional testimony regarding contraception. The next day he aired these

‘Twas No Fluke
First, mandatory contraception coverage. Next, mandatory sex reassignment surgery coverage. And you will comply. Or so help us, you’ll be forever stained with the charge of being a “heterosexist.”
This is who they are. This is what they do.
I wonder where this guy stood on the idea to quarantine AIDs patients back before we know what AIDS was and how it was transferred — when it was largely contained to the gay community. Was he all for “science” then? And out of curiosity, I wonder what his advertisers will think about all this? In fact, perhaps that’s the point: perhaps this is a set-up to raise the ire
Dear Reince Priebus, RNC Chair
I asked you earlier (directly, by way of Twitter) if the GOP would be willing to issue a rejoinder to Debbie Wasserman-Schultz, who claims Republicans are waging a War Against Women. I suggested the response be a call to Democrats to cease waging a War Against the Constitution and the Individual — specifically with respect to the First Amendment. I’ve heard nothing in response. So let me ask again. Because
“The Vetting, Part I: Barack’s Love Song To Alinsky”
Breitbart lives. But does capitalism? A war is coming. And we haven’t a chance of winning it if we’re busy apologizing for our “war on women” or our “war on immigrants” or our “war on homosexuals” or our “war on the poor.” But you establishment fetishists do it your way. You’ve got the Left right where you want them!
“Welcome to total political war”
“This total war, in which no one is allowed to be non-political and neighbors and clients become mere pressure points, is a dangerous development.” When the personal becomes the political, by default the political is the dominant frame. At which point, you are playing completely in the Left’s sandbox. So. Did Limbaugh’s apology change anything? Or has it merely emboldened those who will use any tools to silence us to
“In GOP circles, some wonder whether the party needs to lose big to eventually win”
The Fix, WaPo — which in this instance reads almost like a GOP establishment press release / warning to conservatives that’s been strategically leaked: “I’d personally enjoy all the ‘we can’t nominate another Republican In Name Only’ crowd getting a stomping by an incumbent with an 8.5 unemployment rate,” said one senior party strategist, granted anonymity to speak candidly, warning of nominating a strictly conservative candidate like former Pennsylvania senator
“Wasserman Schultz: ‘It’s Time Romney And The Rest of The Republican Party End The War on Women They Started’”
Here’s the proper — and really only — response to such cynical and divisive rhetoric, and it should come as an official release from Reince Priebus, RNC Chair: “The DNC Chairwoman has called on Republicans to ‘End the War on Women.’ And yet it is Republicans who, far from being ‘at war with women’, recognize that the women are more than just a singular homogeneous voting bloc whose interests are
If the Left doesn’t like you, you’re not a real human being [Darleen Click]
The examples abound when it comes to politics … from the death of Tony Snow, Andrew Breitbart to the ginned-up outrage against Limbaugh and others. It even extends to the author of children’s books, if those books offend Left-feminist sensibilities. The world today brings news that Jan Berenstain, co-author with her husband Stan of the 45 years and running Berenstain Bears series for children, has passed on to a better
