Limbaugh Nails It: Conservatives Have Given Up

Rush Limbaugh nails it.  He has told us precisely why the left has such clout with what he calls "low information voters".

Tina Fey, the last year that I was on the list of Barbara Walters’ top Ten Most Fascinating Americans, the last time was two or three years ago, Tina Fey was in it for impersonating Sarah Palin, one of the Ten Most Fascinating People. She didn’t make it as Tina Fey, she made it as Tina Fey as Sarah Palin. She ended up being one of Barbara Walters’ Ten Most Fascinating because of her impersonation of Palin. Meanwhile, Palin is not in the list, and yet an impersonator is. So it’s clear as a bell to me why it’s tough to find a conservative in the media with any credibility with low-information voters. Every one of them has been taken out. There are other reasons why conservatives aren’t defended. The conservative movement is in a constant battle for people in it who want to be seen as the leader, who want to be seen as the smartest person in the room, who want to be seen as the go-to person.

And so somebody getting a lot of media attention is a threat, just in a high school jealousy sense, is a threat. So you take ‘em out, you help take ‘em out. It keeps the pathway cleared for you, whoever you are, if you want to be the go-to conservative for the media or the leader of the conservative movement or what have you, if you want to be perceived as such.

All right, that’s that. I wanted to get that out there because everybody calls here, and they have ever since I’ve been doing the show, “Rush, what can Republicans do?” The first thing they can do is unite. The first thing they can do is unite and start defending each other and not letting this character assassination succeed every time the left tries it. [Rush Limbaugh]

Yes, Governor Palin was railroaded. Thanks for pointing that out Bill!

See? That's where Limbaugh loses it. Sarah Palin isn't "...ne of the Ten Most Fascinating People...." Sarah Palin is a trainwreck and people gawk at trainwrecks. There's no character to assassinate in reference to Palin. She arrived as caricature. She's also a carrier of a virus, let's call it trainwreck or, more appropriately, 'Tea Party,' that has infected the GOP. Now, look at Joe Scarborough and Colin Powell and hear what they said.
