Limbaugh, Hannity, and Savage won't go near Ron Paul. Why?

While I find that on most domestic policies I am in general agreement with the talk-show blow-hards, I find that when it comes to foreign policy these closet imperialists never debate the issues rationally and invariably resort to racist fear-mongering.

The recent case of a Mr. Najibullah Zazi, who apparently was my neighbor and shopped at a beauty supply store a few blocks away (I aint skeered), as well as the "stunning revelation" of a 2nd nuclear facility in Iran provide perfect fuel for the neo-fascists to stoke the remnants of fear and racism kindled in the aftermath of the WTC attacks. Alas, it does still seem to work to an extent.

They say just enough that's right to get you to trust them, then they try and shove this stupid crap down your throat. Most people I know that listen to them tend to swallow it all, good and bad. Which is the problem. It's the controlled opposition. They want the power and every day are claiming the right to lead. That's why you rarely hear them speak of Ron 'he who shall not be named' Paul. The only one with a legitimate claim who is too honest and humble to claim it, which is why he's the most deserving.

If we aren't vigilant and vocal they will end up usurping all of our grassroots energy and using it to their own ends. They'll ride this wave all the way back to the white-house.

*puke*

Calling them up never seemed like a good idea to me as the conversation, if you actually get on-air, is usually one-sided and more often than not will end with them claiming to have won the argument. But we can't just sit back and let them take the reins.

I've often considered what it would take to start up my own talk-show to spread the good word, but I usually get stuck on the revenue issue. After all these jerk-offs do have bloated salaries to pay, and unless you are toeing one of the pre-approved partisan lines finding sponsors, much less national distribution, may prove difficult.

On the other hand, ratings is the bottom line, just ask Beck. So I'm all for Walt Williams or some other fellow soldier for liberty getting their own show.

Americans are raised to believe in American superiority and justified intervention. We can take it way back to our first steps West, but in contemporary terms it stems from the public train of thought from the Red Scare and Cold War Era. Limbaugh and Hannity are American Imperialists. Ron Paul is anti-imperialism. His rhetoric defies everything they, and the majority of Americans (Dem. & Rep,) know and understand. You cannot erase decades of indoctrination over night. Unfortunately, it will take generations.

that won't mention Ron Paul and especially the Audit the Fed bill. They know! They know that the federal reserve is strangling and killing America but they are too afraid to say it. Their listeners watch the news and believe they're informed and after the media slandered Dr. Paul and made him sound like a lunatic they believe it and the radio propagandists don't want to ostracize that base. Boortz is for the fair tax!! DUH! And he's always preaching about the constitution too.. PHONEY

it's about the money...You never hear them discuss the Fed or the audit the Fed or anything that might stimulate conversation that would allow listeners to open the door to an honest discussion of monetary policy of U.S.
They are gatekeepers. Where was all this talk when the same dang thing has been going on for dozens of years by both parties.
545 people in WA google that.

They were wrong. Ron Paul was right.
Mention of him reminds them that they were wrong.
Mention of his name shows how they abandoned Liberty long ago while Ron never failed to defend it.
When they talk about Ron Paul they publicly confess quietly that they gladly tredded on the Constitution and laughed while he protected it.

Remember that fool levin saying 80% of the time Ron was right? That means he PUBLICLY ADMITTED that he only agrees with 80% of the United States Constitution! Ron has always obeyed the Constitution. That is why his name and referencing them is so dangerous and damning.

In the coming years when Ron Paul is proven right once again they will reap what they have sowed.

They are all pro war and will not admit a lot of people have died in a war that we should not have been in. Say what you want, but Iraq never attacked us for them to be in a war with us but we have given a lot of lives for that country. With the war now, either win now and come home or come home period. This might be a big difference in their beliefs from Dr. Paul. IMO

These 'personalities' have an agenda, a faithful following, an image to uphold and bosses that expect them to be consistent.

Ron Paul is not part of their agenda, endorsing him would confuse the faithful follwers, and would not be consistent with their image as a personality.

Now, privately they may admire Ron Paul, but could not dare say so in their broadcasts. Remember there is a gulf between the on-air personality and the real person. This is true of many performers.

I don't see Michael Savage's name anywhere down the thread. He is, to me, the most odious. He was on MSNBC for a day or two, until he announced that all gay people should get AIDS and die. Well, that got him canned, but his radio audience loves this kind of hate speech.

I note that Glenn Beck is not part of your list. I think Murdoch is giving him a little freedom, since Alan Colmes is no longer on Fox, and he was more receptive to people like Dr. Paul. Beck seems to be coming around. Seems.

they send you an email every month, saying which topics are approved and which ones are off limits. Break ranks and protocol, and the financial support is immediately withdrawn! Pay is determined per individual, some get $100,000 some a million.

After not listening to Rush for many years, I now play the Rush game on occasion.
The rules are simple, turn him on and start the clock. Wait for him to say something dumb, then turn him off.
The other day he lasted 42 seconds. He said he doesn't criticize George Bush. He said he loves George Bush and considers him a friend.
What a partisan hack! But he's not as bad as Chris Matthews who gets a feeling up his leg when he looks at Obama. At least let's hope Rush's love is not perverted.

they feel inadequate.

Yes we can call in to national programs and defend Liberty, but my experience has been that by engaging conservatives I know personally, I have not only steered votes away from McCain towards Ron Paul and eventually Baldwin, but I have also robbed Limbaugh, Hannity and Savage of loyal listeners. Now when my family discusses such men, it is with collective eye rolls all around. Before the discussion of our message, they admired them. Now they laugh at them.

Sure, some of my relatives are hostile towards me now. I have one Uncle that I'm convinced hates my guts. But truth prevails among those of good will. Those who lack good will are those we would prefer to defeat, rather that have them pollute the message with arrogance. Better still, it maybe possible to obliterate their arrogance with a big helping of 'crow eating'. The dish is being prepared as we speak, and the force feeding will commence any day now... I hope. The more helpings we serve up at the grassroots level (and the more grassroots converts we gain) the more and more crow will be piled up on the plates in front of Hannity and the other false conservatives.

Helpful advice: When engaging friends and family about men like Hannity (and perhaps the Republican Party itself) focus on the obvious and profound contradictions in their neo-conservatism. For example - the disconnect between the shrill warnings about spending, and their support of trillion dollar war financed through debt accumulation. Or bring up their voiced support of a patriotic stand for the Constitution, and then their incredible propensity to turn clean around and favor the Patriot Act and undeclared war. It's as easy as pie.... crow pie.

is msm even relevant anymore? seems lately they are getting more desperate for attention.

are no better than their phoney progressive blowhard counterparts like Olbermann, Franken, Moore, etc.

They all showed their loyalties during the '08 campaign, they're not people of good character, they're infotainers that profit handsomely from this partisan sideshow. Why would they want the man behind the curtain to be revealed?
