We apologize in advance for using the words “brilliant” and “Los Angeles Times” in the same sentence. However, there’s a brilliant op-ed piece by Andrew Klavan in last Sunday’s Los Angeles Times.
If you are reading this newspaper, the likelihood is that you agree with the Obama administration’s recent attacks on conservative radio talker Rush Limbaugh. That’s the likelihood; here’s the certainty: You’ve never listened to Rush Limbaugh.
Oh no, you haven’t. Whenever I interrupt a liberal’s anti-Limbaugh rant to point out that the ranter has never actually listened to the man, he always says the same thing: “I’ve heard him!”
On further questioning, it always turns out that by “heard him,” he means he’s heard the selected excerpts spoon-fed him by the distortion-mongers of the mainstream media. These excerpts are specifically designed to accomplish one thing: to make sure you never actually listen to Limbaugh’s show, never actually give him a fair chance to speak his piece to you directly.
Klavan concluded:
The mainstream media (a.k.a. the Matrix) don’t want you to listen to Limbaugh because they’re afraid he’ll wake you up and set you free of their worldview. You don’t want to listen to him because you’re afraid of the same thing.
Don’t believe me? Well, then, gird your loins. Gather your courage. Accept the Limbaugh Challenge. See what happens.
I dare you.
Today, Rush Limbaugh. Tomorrow, Fox News. You never know where this could end up.

I was driving home yesterday listening to my fav right wing radio station krla870 in LA, when I heard an ad for MSNBC touting Chris Matthews and what’s-her-name. MSNBC? I almost sent a text to IHTM.COM but that would be illegal in California, so I just decided to post something. You guys are psychic! gave me the perfect opportunity … I guess the libs have figured out that they need to advertise where the audience is…
I ran across this footage of former Bush speechwriter David Frum taking what’s-her-name (Rachel Maddow) to task about the negative tone she sets. Watch Ms Maddow crumble in silence.
You’ll have to endure a few minutes of Rachel carrying on before the discussion begins:

…If it were only that easy to swing people to admit they have made a mistake and should take a more conservative approach. Shame is a difficult thing for anyone to get past, it can take months of therapy…
As seen in one of my various, select posts here, this has always been my assertion. None of these lemmings would listen to Rush, BECAUSE their illustrious comrad leader tells them not to. All this proves, and it proves nothing less, that they are, in fact, lemmings, and that not being able to think for yourself is pretty sad…
I would imagine that if Comrad Obama told these people to jump off bridges, most would. It is a pretty sad state of affairs in our country today… And the bigger problem is that as the moronic and liberal “screwel” system corrupts more and more young minds, it could, and likely will, easily get worse…
