If you want to really get yourself "worked up", just listen in on the right-wing talk radio gang. These guys are ruthless.
You can guess who they are targeted on. They have an all out assault on Senator Obama. It's not just the Pastor Wright stuff. They're attacking anything and everything associated with Obama that they can manipulate to use against him.
Last week I shared an article about "swiftboating Obama" from a website that allows you to copy anything you want. This week they've got a good article about the "Obama Witch-Hunt". The website address is: http://www.rightwingexposed.com. I've also copied an article below about these right-wing talk radio zealots. I think you'll enjoy it.
Right-Wing Thursday
Thursday, March 6th, 2008
It’s "Right-Wing Thursday" and it seems appropriate for me to focus on some of our favorite talk radio hosts this week. This was primary week and Rush Limbaugh and Laura Ingraham decided to switch party affiliations for a day and encouraged their vast listening audiences to vote in the Democratic primary instead of the Republican. Obviously Limbaugh and Ingraham don’t have much confidence in their own party’s candidate, so they felt the need to try to sabotage their Democratic opponents. I don’t think that this would have been what our founding fathers, whom both Limbaugh and Ingraham like to refer to regarding many issues, would have endorsed. I don’t think they would have supported trying to cheat the political process. I guess right-wing talk show hosts only like to ponder what our founding fathers would do when it serves their political agenda.
It is apparent that right-wing pundits fear an election against Obama. Limbaugh stated that he was hoping to "bloody him up a bit". That’s certainly a nice Christian attitude that I can assure you Jesus would not endorse. For that matter, the screaming, angry, name-calling demeanor of conservative talkers such as Laura Ingraham, Michael Medved, Mark Levin and Michael Savage would also flunk the WWJD test. It’s rather ironic that many of these hosts consider themselves to be Christian/religious.
Michael Medved, the guy who says that 80% of Americans are doing better than ever financially, also dedicated time this week to complain about the waste of six billion dollars in federal funds being spent on school lunch programs. However, it doesn’t seem to bother Medved that we are spending that much every three weeks in Iraq. Evidently Medved believes that spending money for war is more important than spending money to feed America’s hungry children. At least Michael has his priorities straight.
Medved also spent time questioning Obama’s Muslim connections. The fact that Obama has stated that he is a Christian and that he is a member of a Christian church is not enough for Medved. Perhaps Michael can get some "religious police" to check into Obama’s true religion. Maybe he can divert some of that money we waste on feeding our children and hire Kenneth Starr to do one of his in-depth investigations into Obama’s true religion. Oh well, it’s always good entertainment tuning in to Medved and his cohorts for another dose of right-wing misinformation.
