WASHINGTON POST Attacks Free Speech. Funny, I don’t recall them getting so upset over the attacks on Joe The Plumber. “What about President Obama? He has never repudiated Bill Maher for myriad of similar offenses including calling Sarah Palin the C-word and the T-word. Instead of demanding that Bill Maher apologize, Barack Obama accepted a million bucks from him.”

This is all battlespace preparation for the general election. Neutralizing Limbaugh is a priority — though I think there’s a risk of significant blowback in terms of energizing the Republican base. Though the base seems to be energizing itself.
