I was wondering when Rush would start getting “uncomfortable with these attacks which Charles Krauthammer called “something you’d hear from a Socialist”, and which Brit Hume called “a staple of the left”, 3 weeks ago when the attacks weren’t even as “scorched Earth” as they are today!  The right wing media and talk radio MUST decry and condemn these attacks from Gingrich if we wish to beat Obama in the General.  Attacks from this angle are the capstone of proof that Gingrich not only isn’t Conservative, but he’s deeply Liberal when it seem politically convenient.
View here.

At the top of his Fox show just now, Mike Huckabee made an appeal to viewers to disregard negative attacks on the Republican presidential candidates and defended several members of the field against being labeled “liberals” or, alternately, “extremists.”

And he went out of his way to push back on criticism of Mitt Romney by Rush Limbaugh, charging the radio mega-talker with “flip-flopping” in his views on Romney. Here’s Huckabee:

Some [candidates] are going to have to answer for statements made, relationships forged, laws that were passed, personal failures or financial gains or losses. But none of them are even close to being liberals. Four years ago, Rush Limbaugh loved Mitt Romney and he supported him as the true conservative. Four years later, he’s criticizing the same Mitt Romney for not being conservative enough. Now, Mitt Romney really hasn’t changed in four years. But maybe Rush Limbaugh is the one doing the flip-flopping.

He continued:

Newt Gingrich has been relentlessly ripped as not being a conservative because he worked with Democrats in Congress. But one of the things that he worked with them to do is to have a balanced budget and get people off welfare rolls and onto payrolls. Rick Santorum, who you’ll meet in a moment, is being called an extremist because he believes that marriage still means what it’s always meant — one man, one woman, lifetime relationship.

I’ll post the video as soon as I can locate it.

This letter that Rush Limbaugh reads to Barack Obama reflects the feelings that I had as I watched the State of The Union address.  Thank you Rush for articulating what many of us are feeling after listening to this address, especially when you called the President out for despicably berating the Supreme Court in front of Congress and the American people.

I took the excerpt below from the NPR website which is hosting a poll between Fox news and The White House.  I still can’t believe that the Obama administration even cares to get involved with media battling when it should be spending it’s energy on the issues.  It shows the lack of maturity of this administration.  Obama is indeed a “man-child President” as Rush Limbaugh suggested.

The stories about what the Obama White House has to say about Fox News Channel keep coming.

There was White House communications director saying telling Howard Kurtz of The Washington Post and CNN “let’s not pretend they’re a news network the way CNN is.”

Also last week it was NPR’s David Folkenflik reporting that “the White House is taking direct aim at Fox News, the news organization that is the home to the most potent collection of its conservative critics.”

This week it’s ABC News’ Jake Tapper asking why the Obama team was treating one of the “sister organizations” so badly — and the news that the White House had tried to block a Fox News reporter from interviewing the so-called pay czar. (After all the networks objected, the White House relented.)

It seems like time for a survey:
