Obama Regime Declares War on its Critics

If you haven't noticed, the Obama regime has declared war on its critics. In the past two weeks the White House has publicly singled out three vocal critics of the Reich. First in was Limbaugh, then it was Santelli, and now it's Cramer.



What do those three have in common? They dared to speak out against the Messiah.

A interesting point is raised at Publius Forum as to from whom Gibbs may be getting his marching orders. As we reported more than a month ago...

ABCNews’ George Stephanopoulos is currently conducting private, daily phone briefings with Obama chief of staff Rahm Emanuel. CNN’s Paul Begala, James Carville and pollster Stan Greenberg are also involved.

You don't imagine they're sitting around talking about how to demonize their critics do you? It sure seems like it. Warner Todd Huston noted:

As soon as the sun rose on the day after Limbaugh’s CPAC appearance, three of the four of the phone call participants attacked Limbaugh with the same talking points. It seems obvious that they coordinated their attack together in the Obama secret strategy session. It is amazing that a president’s staff can have such power over major media figures without a peep being heard from those that only months ago bashed former presidents over a perceived undue, even “dangerous,” control of the media.

The morning after Limbaugh’s CPAC speech, Obama Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel appeared on CBS News’ Face the Nation and told Bob Schieffer that Limbaugh was the “voice of the Republican Party,” and that he “hasn’t stepped back from” the “hopes for failure” he expressed for Obama’s administration.

James Carville, obeying his Obama marching orders, said pretty much the same thing in his CNN commentary headlined, “A history lesson for Rush Limbaugh,” where Carville began by saying that Rush is the “moral and intellectual leader and most influential person in the Republican Party.”

As for ABC’s George Stephanopoulos, he employed the same talking point about Rush’s hope that Obama’s socialist policies would not succeed — though it is sure that Stephy didn’t call Obama’s policies socialist. In an interview with Eric Cantor, Stephanopoulos said, “So the Rush Limbaugh approach of wanting the president to fail is not the Eric Cantor, House Republican approach?”

It sure seems like a concerted effort to me.
