Obama Assault on Conservative Talk Radio Has Begun

Bozell: Obama Assault on Conservative Talk Radio Has Begun

Alexandria, VA – President Barack Obama took a shot at conservative talk radio king Rush Limbaugh by warning GOP leaders that "You can't just listen to Rush Limbaugh and get things done.” This attack came during a meeting on Capitol Hill held to discuss Pres. Obama’s hefty $1 trillion stimulus package. One White House official attempted to cushion the jab by alleging that the President was pointing to the fact that “There are big things that unify Republicans and Democrats” and that “partisan politics” should not get in the way of accomplishing “very important things.”

President of the Media Research Center Brent Bozell doesn’t buy it:

“Now we know what Barack Obama means by ‘unity’ and a nation working ‘as one.’ It means it’s his far left way and no other way. If he had his way, the President would have us all reading the New York Times and listening to left-wing Air America. He knows his only opposition to enacting a radical left-wing agenda is conservative talk radio."

Further, there’s something eerie, Big Brother-like in Obama’s actions. He will deny it, of course, but this is an attack on Limbaugh’s and all conservatives’ right to free speech. He wants to set the stage for the Fairness Doctrine. And he’s doing it through character assassination."

“I said the day after the election that Rush Limbaugh would become public enemy #1 if the Obama administration had its way. The attack on him personally and on all of conservative talk radio generally has officially begun.”

NSA Targeted Journalists, Snooped on All U.S. Communications

Just one day after George W. Bush left office, an NSA whistleblower has revealed that the National Security Agency's warrantless surveillance program targeted U.S. journalists, and vacuumed in all domestic communications of Americans, including, faxes, phone calls and network traffic.

Russell Tice, a former NSA analyst, spoke on Wednesday to MSNBC host Keith Olbermann. Tice has acknowledged in the past being one of the anonymous sources that spoke with The New York Times for its 2005 story on the government's warrantless wiretapping program.

After that story was published, President Bush said in a statement that only people in the United States who were talking with terrorists overseas would have been targeted for surveillance.

But Tice says, in truth, the spying involved a dragnet of all communications, confirming what critics have long assumed.

"The National Security Agency had access to all Americans' communications," he said. "Faxes, phone calls and their computer communications. ... They monitored all communications."

Obama takes second oath without Bible

I can understand why a second oath of office was given to Obama due to obvious mistakes made on the steps of the Capitol on the first try. This has happened before on two other occasions. My question is why was the Bible was not used when the second oath was adminnistered. Was there not a Bible somewhere in the White House that could have been used? Is there a reason no outside media or pool reporter was not allowed to record or air this version of the oath for the Office of President of The United States?

Daddy, did Al Gore invent the Internet?

"Daddy, where did the Internet come from?"

This video should clear Al Gore from taking the credit.

Wikipedia tells us 'the Internet is a global system of interconnected computer networks that interchange data by packet switching using the standardized Internet Protocol Suite (TCP/IP).'

If you ever wondered what the heck that means, here's a crisp tutorial. The vignette is a sterling example of how video can explain complex ideas more clearly than text alone"
