Good day all, AWM here. I was listening to Rush Limbaugh and he said something that just struck me as both accurate and amusing. He compared Media Matters to jock itch.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Now for those of you who aren\u2019t aware of Media Matters of America<\/a>, this is a hard left wing group dedicated to destroying anyone who opposes their view of the world. They operate as a tax exempt non-profit 501(c)(3) organization ((What is a 501(c)(3) organization?<\/a>)) under IRS tax law. Accordingly, they aren\u2019t supposed to engage in partisan politics.<\/p>\n

The organization was founded and is run by one David Brock in 2004 as a liberal counterweight to \u201cconservative misinformation\u201d in the press, Media Matters has in less than a decade become a powerful player in Democratic politics. ((From the Daily Caller<\/a>))<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

However, their have been a number of questions regarding Media Matters and what appears to be an abuse of its tax exempt status. Recently the Daily Caller did a detailed report on David Brock and Media Matters<\/a>. It\u2019s lengthy and very well sourced. It shows a few things such as Brock\u2019s paranoia, how he paid off a former \u201cBoyfriend\u201d over $800,000.00 in an apparent extortion plot that after he was threatened with \u201cdamaging information involving the organization\u2019s donors and the IRS.\u201d ((The Blaze))<\/p>\n

Lately, Media Matters has been working to suppress the speech of conservative commentators, especially radio commentators such as Rush Limbaugh. Recently Rush mad a rather rash statement regarding Sandra Fluke\u2019s charge that it costs her $3000 to get birth control. ((Rush Limbaugh vs the Slut<\/a>)) Brock and Media Matters began a full court press to have Rush taken off the air. They began a boycott of his advertisers and started calling many of them even though they actually didn\u2019t advertise on the show. (Local ads run during the station breaks. Rush receives no money from these ads) Several big name advertisers as well as a few long term ones bailed on Rush. A couple of weeks later a few of them tried to come back but Rush\u2019s company said \u201cNo Thanks.\u201d<\/p>\n

Since the Media Matters plot to suppress Rush\u2019s free speech rights has failed miserably, Brock has doubled down with a $100,000 media buy. The Washington Times has a few details on this<\/a>. In a story by Peter Bella:<\/p>\n

CHICAGO, March 22, 2012\u2014Media Matters for America (MMfA) is launching a national radio attack ad campaign against Rush Limbaugh. They reportedly are spending $100,000.00<\/strong> to buy radio advertising in markets where Limbaugh\u2019s show may be vulnerable.<\/p>\n

Media Matters is not a journalistic or media entity. They are not media watchdogs either. Watching denotes just that, watching. MMfA describes their role as “progressive research and information center dedicated to comprehensively monitoring, analyzing and correcting conservative misinformation in the U.S. Media.” They are pseudo-journalists. They are pretenders.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Rush had his own words for Media Matters this afternoon. He said that Media Matters is like Jock Itch. Rush didn\u2019t back off. He has had it with Media Matters and he has the resources to fight back. Now, what exactly is \u201cJock Itch?\u201d<\/p>\n

From Wikipedia<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Tinea cruris, also known as crotch itch, crotch rot, Dhobie itch, eczema marginatum, gym itch, jock itch, and ringworm<\/a> of the groin in American English is a dermatophyte<\/a> fungal infection<\/a> of the groin<\/a> region in either sex, though more often seen in males. In the German<\/a> Sprachraum<\/a> this condition is called Tinea inguinalis (from Latin inguen = groin<\/a>) whereas Tinea cruris is used for a dermatophytosis of the lower leg<\/a> (Latin crus).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I won\u2019t show the pictures. You can go off to Wikipedia and look at them yourselves. So, Davidf Brock and Media Matters are nothing more than a fungal infection? That sounds just about right to me. Unfortunately, we won\u2019t be able to have an audit of their tax status until the current regime<\/em><\/span> administration is sent packing. They have started using the IRS in a Nixonian ((Definition of Nixonian<\/a>)) manner to go after anyone criticizing Obama and his agenda.<\/p>\n

So, I wonder how long it will take Brock to fly off the handle over Rush\u2019s latest talking point? Considering Brock\u2019s paranoia, he\u2019ll probably accuse Rush Limbaugh of engaging in Biological warfare. Sucks to be Brock, doesn\u2019t it?<\/p>\n

Thatisall<\/p>\n
