The Republican Party is Crumbling as Rush Limbaugh Attacks Fox News For Being Liberal


The Republican Party is Crumbling as Rush Limbaugh Attacks Fox News For Being Liberal

Rush Limbaugh has declared war on Fox News, and is attacking the network for using liberal talking points and not supporting Ted Cruz.

First off, Limbaugh is wrong. By total number of votes, Republican turnout was virtually the same in 2012 as it was in 2008. The problem for Republicans is that the same narrow of white men keeps turning out, while Democrats are adding women, Hispanic, and African American voters.

Sen. Ted Cruz has restarted the full blown civil war in both the Republican Party, and right wing media. Fox News and Limbaugh are two of the three biggest players in conservative media. (The Drudge Report completes the un-holy trinity of right wing propaganda.). When they start going after each other, the foundation of the Republican propaganda machine is cracking.

What is happening here is that the Republican Party is literally tearing itself apart from top to bottom. House Republicans are fighting with each other. Senate Republicans are split in two. The party leadership is trying to stop a far right rebellion that will destroy the economy, and party’s top two propagandists are now at each other’s throats.

One organ of disinformation leaves. Hmmm, on second thought that could be one organ of disinformation too many for me. May they slime each other unto dissipation.

It's true the GOP has a potential conflict between its ugly rightwing and its certifiable lunatics, but Limbaugh's remarks don't necessarily provide any useful information about that

But when Limbaugh AND beck AND $i$ter $sarah, AND the guy from redstates, all attack fox, it’s a pretty good indicator that the battle is on.
