Machiavellian Plot Emerges Among Limbaugh Attackers
By Christopher Adamo (10/11/07)
Conservative Americans who witnessed the deliberate misinterpretation and
unwarranted liberal hysterics over Rush Limbaugh's "phony soldiers"
commentary, will be tempted to brand the incident an isolated, albeit
ridiculously overblown, effort to discredit the powerhouse of conservatism
in America. Yet while this assessment is not entirely inaccurate, it reveals
only the tip of a malevolent "iceberg."
To many people’s amazement, the sorry episode drags on. Yet its protracted
nature reveals the intentions of those who seek to execute a much darker and
grander scheme.
It is true that, as a result of their exaggerated complaints and indignant
screed, this continued droning of key liberal players and the Democrat Party
faithful makes them appear petty, hypocritical, and buffoonish for their
participation in this squabble. Moreover, Limbaugh is having his usual good
time successfully portraying them this way. Yet, that is a price they are
willing to pay, and moreover believe they are compelled to pay, being that
their future political successes are so contingent on neutralizing him and
his kind.
Make no mistake about it. Liberal America knows that, like liberalism in all
of its other forms throughout human history, survival is only possible in an
environment where it holds an absolute monopoly on the availability and
sharing of information.
The moment real America can consider House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s
characterization of the GOP as a “culture of corruption” while recalling
Hillary's “cattle futures” debacle, weigh Al Gore’s facade of environmental
concern against his lavish lifestyle, or be reminded of the host of other
glaring examples of liberal hypocrisy, its house of cards completely
crumbles.
No less vulnerable upon close examination are liberal/Democrat programs
ostensibly intended to help “the children,” the supposedly “downtrodden”
among the middle class, and that pervasive excuse for governmental meddling,
the “little guy.”
So if liberalism is to have any chance of dominance, the agenda absolutely
requires the stifling of objectivity, analysis and most of all truth. Only
then can its useful idiots be unleashed to mindlessly parrot the “party
line” with even a shred of believability. Since he hit the airwaves in
1988, Limbaugh and all who follow his footsteps represent the greatest
threat to the liberal strategy.
>From the moment the left became aware of his presence on the national scene,
it sought to neutralize him through various means. To begin with, it was
hoped that he could be rendered ineffective simply by being ignored. But as
his popularity exponentiated, that approach proved to be an utter failure.
Next, he was ridiculed and demeaned as “just an entertainer.” Yet again his
widespread propagation of fact and valid information among engaged Americans
rendered such catcalls immaterial.
In contrast to liberal attempts to characterize him as inconsequential, the
enormity of his popularity highlighted an overwhelming desire on the part of
real America for a revival of its heritage and traditional values, which fly
in the face of blind liberal ideology. Thus with his success, a tidal wave
of alternative media swept the country, effectively destroying the
critically important information monopoly which is the only environment
within which the malignancy of liberalism can survive and metastasize.
Eventually, liberals realized that against such a formidable bastion,
nothing less than a concerted and orchestrated effort must be undertaken if
they are ever again to enjoy their hegemony over the American political
climate. It is therefore dangerous to assume that the current scrap was, in
any way, the result of randomness or reactivity.
While the particular topic on which Limbaugh was attacked is secondary, the
plan to engage him in such a vicious manner has likely been engineered for
some time, awaiting only a viable excuse to launch.
In retrospect, the overblown episode of liberal squalling and caterwauling
which drove Don Imus from the airwaves a few months ago has turned out to be
little more than a stage-setting “dry run” for this current effort. Having
witnessed the success of the Imus critics, the liberal media/Democrat cabal
is now emboldened to take on bigger quarry.
Look for Limbaugh to be the regular target of a host of new “controversies”
and their subsequent “news stories” which will predictably employ such
phrases as “in yet another firestorm” and “in the wake of more outrageous
commentary.”
Eventually, America will be told by “experts” and major pollsters that it is
completely exhausted from the missteps of talk radio, and alternative media,
along with every form of communication outside of the “mainstream media,”
and that the nation is indeed ready for a return to the former congeniality
of the Fairness Doctrine.
In his increasingly unhinged arrogance, Democrat Congressman Henry Waxman of
California now openly proclaims his intention to exploit the “phony soldier”
commotion as justification to invoke the power of his office and every
government resource available to him in an attack on free speech itself.
So while real America recoils at the ominous and venomous words and actions
of Waxman and his kind, those who accept their liberal/media feeding via the
nightly news will believe that a “civil discourse” can only be reestablished
by putting Congressional Democrats in complete control of the debate.
Censorship, in light of the brutal alternative, is really not such a bad
thing after all.
Democrat political fortunes are riding on the prospect that America is
either blind or stupid enough to accept such a premise. Thus is the reasoned
discourse and deliberation, by which the founders intended government to
function in the best interests of the people, being destroyed. The nation
teeters on the threshold of a slippery slope.
