It isn't enough that the liberal media had to do everything in their power to usher in Obama, now they seem to think that it is their God given right to attack Rush. Now, don't get me wrong here. I'm no Rush Zealot who worships at his feet or thinks he should run the world. No way. He is an entertainer, plain and simple. The voice of the Republican party? Not necessarily. The voice of conservatives? More than likely.
I listen to Rush Limbaugh pretty often, and while I agree with about 90% of what he has to say I certainly wouldn't follow him off of a cliff. However my whole point of this post is this: where the hell are all of the free speech liberals? Why is it that when Rush says what I myself hope, that Obama falls on his face, the President of the United States of America has the audacity (he he) to personally attack Rush and essentially to take money out of his pocket. What Obama fails to realize is that Rush is PAYED TO CRITICIZE LIBERALS. Plain and simple. He criticized Clinton, he criticized Bush (when Bush caved to liberal pressure) and SURPRISE SURPRISE he's going to criticize Obama.
When it comes to matters of free speech (like the Fairness Doctrine) I don't think politics needs to be in the equation. Free speech is something that liberals and conservatives alike should be fighting for. The fact that the Fairness Doctrine directly attacks talk radio shows just how "UN"Fair the Doctrine really is. The sheer hypocrisy of it is mind boggling. Every news program (except Fox) and damn near every newspaper (besides the Wall Street Journal) has a liberal bias. Every liberal friend I have begrudgingly agrees. So why is it such a shock that the handful of conservative outlets that we have make a lot of money and do really well in ratings? If you have one hundred stores that only sell hamburgers, and only two that sell steak, why shut down the steak-houses for being successful? Sometimes people get tired of hearing the same tired crap about how we should hug a terrorist, get rid of our guns, and give all of our money to charity (only now without a tax write off). Sometimes people want to hear that message about good old fashioned hard work making a difference. That message that says "Government isn't the solution, it's the problem." All I know is this: All animals are created equal, but some are created more equal than others.
