Talk Radio Under Attack

First they came for Don Imus, and I did not speak out because I am not a liberal like Don Imus….

No actually, the Soros funded, Media Matters, headed up by self described liar, David Brock has been at this since 2004. Imus was just their first big success story as far as I know. And he did indeed call a bunch of innocent girl basketball players “nappy headed ho’s” at 6:14 in the morning when hardly anyone was listening. Then was forced to apologize. Then lost his job.

Why was Imus actually targeted? He was a ’shock jock’, after all. He said shocking and insulting things on his show every single day, for years. You figure it out.

The Rush and O’Reilly smear campaigns have been just as aggressive, but less successful because of the dishonesty and absurdity of the charges. And conservatives are fighting back because the truth is on their side. Nobody fought too hard for Imus. He said what he said. What can you say? The shock jock stuff finally caught up to him.

Now, As Brian Mahoney of Radio Equalizer says, the floodgates have opened. Here’s the complete list of talk radio shows under attack, (as we speak, thus far):

KOH-am-780, Reno:

Afternoon host Bill Manders was targeted for his supposedly “racist” viewpoints. We all know that “racist” viewpoints in the immigration debate means that you are against illegal immigration. Up to 2000 illegal aliens and pro-illegal activists protested at the KOH radio station.

Remind you of anything?

WLW-AM, Cincinnati:

Islamist group, CAIR demands that the station reprimand talk show host, Bill Cunningham for what they consider anti’Islamic remarks he made on the air. The quote in question:

“The great war of this generation’s time is the war against Islamic fascists,” Cunningham said. “… They do not live for life, they live for death. Only through death can they believe they can be with those 72 virgins in heaven and have sex with children for eternity, which is the goal of that religion.”

Note that Cunningham says, “Islamic fascists”, which isn’t meant to include all Muslims.
WLW has also been the target of Hispanic groups, recently.

Michael Savage:

For comments he made back in July about students who fasted in support of immigration reform.

Savage said in part:

“Let them fast until they starve to death; then that solves the problem.”

The supervisors condemned the remarks as “symbolic of hatred and racism”.

May I take the opportunity to symbolically, laugh out loud, here?

Oh, and then there’s this brilliant Wesley Clark idea.

And we’re only getting started, folks. Wait ’til the silly season gets fully underway.

UPDATE:

Well, the Democrats insist on jumping the shark on the Rush Limbaugh Smear.

Michelle Malkin reports that:

Democrat Rep. Mark Udall is spearheading the resolution condemning Rush Limbaugh. It apparently has 19 co-sponsors now.

Pathetic.
