Limbaugh, Levin, Beck Reveal What the Media Doesn’t Want You to Know About Ferguson Sunday, November 30th, 2014 Think you know the whole story about what’s been going on in Ferguson, Mo.? Maybe — but only if you’ve been listening to talk radio this week. Michael Savage placed the blame for the violence in Ferguson directly at President Barack Obama’s feet. “Obama and [Attorney General Eric] Holder laid the groundwork from the get-go,” Savage said. “They’re Al Sharpton with a smoother act.” Rush Limbaugh agreed that someone high in the federal government orchestrated the violence on the ground in Missouri. “Somebody wanted this to happen,” Rush said. “The ongoing theory is that the White House or Washington – the DOJ, Eric Holder – called the governor of Missouri, Jay Nixon, and told him not to deploy the Guard. Because it looks like they were ready to go. They had been called up and they were placed on ready status. And then they were not used. And the feeling is that the order came from some high authority in Washington not to deploy them.” Laura Ingraham asked Missouri Lt. Gov. Peter Kinder about the lack of a national guard presence in Ferguson, and he, too, conjectured that the order not to deploy them on the first night of violence came from the highest levels of the federal government. But Mark Levin said there’s plenty of blame to spread, and more than Obama and Holder can rightly take for themselves. “Ferguson burns and violence has been unleashed,” he wrote on his Facebook page, “thanks to the reckless liberal media, the lawless administration (especially Eric Holder) exploiting the shooting to smear police departments across the nation, phony civil rights demagogues, race-baiting politicians and radical hate groups. “What we are witnessing now is the left’s war on the civil society,” the talk show host added. “It’s time to speak out in defense of law enforcement and others trying to protect the community and uphold the rule of law.” Finally, Glenn Beck called for the nation to repent and turn to God, or Ferguson would be “just the beginning of what will happen to our cities.” “Are we not a nation that needs to be humbled?” Beck asked. “My gosh, I don’t even know what we stand for anymore, except for money and power and greed and corruption. That’s not the America I know or love.” (H/T WND) Over 30 years ago, facing the “malaise” of America under Jimmy Carter, then-presidential nominee Ronald Reagan was characteristically optimistic. “[The Democrats] say that the United States has had its days in the sun, that our nation has passed its zenith,” he said during his nomination acceptance speech in 1980. “My fellow citizens, I utterly reject that view.” Do we have problems facing us today? Yes we do. Can Americans, working together, overcome those problems? To borrow a phrase from the president… Yes, we can. conservativetribune/limbaugh-levin-beck-reveal-what-the-media-doesnt-want-you-to-know-about-ferguson/?utm_source=feedblitz&utm_medium=FeedBlitzEmail&utm_content=936184&utm_campaign=0
