I would love to see Trump tear into Rush.

Attacking Rush is suicidal, I mean it is Trump so he would probably still win but it's A Bad Idea. There's a reason why Republican Senators and congressmen won't dare say anything bad about him. That's probably why Trump has never criticized him before even though he's ripped on Trump pretty bad.

Master Shake on the other hand, he already hates Trump a lot and would be a lot more fun to attack.

Medved is a hardcore neocon, I'm surprised that he even wastes his breath on Cruz considering Trump savaged his precious George W and the Iraq War. He would probably be supporting Jeb! if he wasn't such a godawful candidate but he's now really in love with Rubio, unsurprisingly.

He will never forgive Cruz for the shutdown and the appointments.

If you're a weak debater, yeah. Trump has a ton of weak spots. Which shows you how awful this crop of GOP candidates are at politics.

The most obvious of which is how incredibly thin skinned he is. He's really only winning because the rest of the GOP are too scared to try to hit him back with the same poo poo he's been using against them.

Being a weak/strong debater only matters if you're assuming the existence of some sort of moderation or rules of debate. In formal rules-based debate Trump will lose yeah, but in the jungle of reality show competition Trump will eat you alive.

I think Rush is staying neutral on Trump because there is still a very real chance Trump will be the nominee. It lets him avoid off-message statements later. If it ever becomes clear that Trump will not win, I expect you'll hear a lot more about his non-conservative positions.

IIRC Rush never officially endorses any candidates because he never wants to accidentally endorse someone who loses. He always wants to be able to keep a loophole open where if the Republican candidate loses he can always say that they just weren't conservative enough.

This is exactly how I feel. I listen to Hannity on the ride home maybe once a month now. I just can't stomach it for more than that. The amount of hate is just exhausting to even be around. What sort of mindset does one have to possess to be able to spew that level of hatred--illogical, nonsensical hatred--day in and day out? Is he just an absolutely awful human being, or is he playing a great character and has a firewall around his mind to keep the character and himself apart?

Wikipedia says she's a fairly prominent lesbian British feminist whose focus is on protections from various forms of domestic, sexual and physical abuse. She is controversial among feminists (which is not unto itself surprising, and basically comes with the "prominent feminist" title) for 1. being opposed to same-sex marriage(preferring that government only regulate or have a category for civil partnership for all couples) 2. opposed to legalized sex work, and 3. what looks like a gender/sex essentialist standpoint on transsexualism that's been coupled with really obnoxious, inflammatory comments and a significant media blow-up.

There's also the matter of Trump's stock being very high now. Had Rush taken on Trump last summer, then there would have been a good chance that Trump wouldn't even be a contender. But now Trump's "outsider" message/persona has caught on, and if Rush dared to attack Trump it would not surprise me if Trump could successfully spin it into Rush being out of touch and in the pocket of the GOP establishment.

So this may not exactly fit Right Wing media, but it does go right along with the Cop worship we see. So the website SB nation posted a 12000 word long article that is kind of a defense of Daniel Holtzclaw, the cop that raped dozens of poor black women. It was withdrawn within hours of it posting. But some highlights from the article that reported on the article in question include

quote:

It starts off with expressions of full sympathy for Holtzclaw, hinting that perhaps there are two sides to this story. It tells only one. The side based in reality—that Holtzclaw violated and brutalized at least eight poor, black women and is in jail for the rest of his life—is never given more than cursory attention.

It irresponsibly speculates whether PED use or disappointment at not making the NFL could have been responsible for Holtzclaw’s crimes—if indeed he committed any.

It gets real loving messy with race. Holtzclaw’s beat was “a dangerous assignment that regularly brought him in contact with people and lifestyles with which he had little prior experience.” It speaks of tension “between members of Eastern Michigan’s football program and locals within the Ypsilanti community.” It notes that Holtzclaw had a “number of black friends.”

and

The article, written by a freelance sportswriter who covered Daniel Holtzclaw’s college football career

I'm totally unsurprised that this was written by a sportswritter.

http://www.breitbart.com/big-hollywood/2016/02/17/rap-group-blackalicious-releases-police-brutality-propaganda-video/

quote:

An obscure Sacramento, California, based hip-hip group named Blackalicious released a new music video showing footage of the police shooting of Walter Scott, New York City cops choking Eric Garner, and the Michael Brown crime scene in the few seconds of the three minute clip.

The relatively unknown group hadn’t released an album since 2005. The song, “On Fire Tonight,” on which the video is based is from the group’s 2015 album, Imani Vol. 1.

Conveniently, Blackalicious tweeted the album and included the hashtag #BlackLivesMatter and #Formation, a hat tip to Beyoncé.

Other than exploring the imagery of “fire,” the song’s lyrics don’t reflect the video. Nor do they mention the men being shown beaten by police by name.

The project’s subject matter and the timing of it’s release resembles the same opportunistic themes that pro-Black Lives Matter singer Beyoncé appears to practice.

While performing a Black Panther Party tribute at this year’s Super Bowl, Beyoncé announced her worldwide music tour. Blackalicious released their anti-police music video along with information about their upcoming tour.

For both Beyoncé and Blackalicious to use so-called black oppression at the hands of police to make a buck isn’t pro-black, it’s pro-profit.
