Rush Scandals as LeakGate Distraction : Theory Clearing House!

[Dr Fate]

Okay here is what I've thought of and gathered from other posts:

A. Conservative writer David Brock laid out in his book "Blinded By the Right" the fact that the RNC, Rush and Drudge are in constant contact.

B. Brock and other writers also demonstrated on how "talking points" and even outright fake stories are "invented"- posted on Drudge, Rush, American Spectator magazine, etc, and then picked up by "mainstream" outlets, before they are exposed as fake.

C. Literally hundreds of fake news items(fake Clinton scandals, pro Iraq war info, etc) were injected into the media in this manner

D. The Rush Drug story appears on Drudge- known for his ties to the RNC. Rush also has ties to the RNC.


Hypothesis #1: Rush/Drudge "allowed" the Drug allegation to surface at the command of the RNC.

Hypothesis #2 : Rush intentionally said the racist comnent, at the request of Rove.

Now before you think I am nuts- read my analysis of the possibilities- i allow for an "in on it" scenario, as well as a "Sacrificial Lamb" scenario...

1. Drudge could care less- what is one more false "scoop" out of literally 100s to his reputation?

2. Drudge is being blackmailed by Rove for his homosexuality (also alleged by Brock)

3. Rush could care less about the drug charges- it is not even true- and he will have a ball laughing it off and using it to further discredit the "liberal media"

4. Once the drug story is proven false- it bolsters Rush's "See- I am not a racist- the media is making stuff up and is out to get me."
5. Rush's listeners and advetisers could care less about his "racist' comments- he has said much worse on his show and no one blinked an eye, or with held $$$...

6. Rush is being blackmailed for his own gay rumors and "forced to do these things- this means that the drug charges are possibly even true.

The point of all this?

Give the media somthing else to talk about besides Bush scandals/

Distract internet activists?

Discredit internet activist- who also happen post info on Bush scandals?

Thoughts?

1. Honey, it's THE ONLY STORY ON DRUDGE.. EVERYTHING ELSE IS GONE!

we're SOOOO being played.

[nadinbrzezinski]

3. We are not

The righties are

[Scairp]

4. I agree

Something nefarious is afoot.

[nadinbrzezinski]

2. Well given where it is being outed

good posibilities, Rove is praying for a media
feeding frenzy over Rush... and CYA for the
real scandal. This is pure distraction.

[radwriter0555]

9. Rove? PRAYING? try PAYING for a media frenzy. That's how it WORKS.

Rove PAYS and limbaugh falls on the sword for him.

Limbaugh and drudge are long time whores for their masters.

5. Ehhhh....

Rush isn't that smart and Drudge isn't that much of a whore.

Not just that, but Rush is yesterday's news. He hasn't been big for years, even if he's on some sports show. This isn't making a splash at all, and Traitorgate is still the top news item.

[Dr Fate]

7. Depends- what if the Rush story is fake?

And it appears on several mainstream news outlets?

What if we really do note the media pulling another "Condit", "Lacey Petterson" "Shark boy" "Private Lynch", etc?

Mine is an off the cuff theory- we shall see how this plays out...

[radwriter0555]

10. It;'s fake...

I'll bet on it.

[Sliverofhope]

6. I agree

This is suspicious. We don't get this lucky. Especially not now.

8. This allegation will neutralize Rush

This is NOT a good thing for him...Traitorgate is rolling and this will not stop it...Rush will be busy defending himself and the small amount of any reputation he had will be gone, he'll be hard pressed to spout his lies about Wilson...the same idiots who listen to him also read the Enquirer...Remember who received Anthrax? If anyone thinks the CIA doesn't have contacts and pull at that rag, well, come on!

I have a theory that key players are being neutralized and this may be part of it.

11. HELL no, he gets to be the VICTIM. Either he's angling for a rehab

holiday or he gets to be EXHONERATED. It's PRESCRIP DRUGS! It's NO big deal! But it sure gets everyone's attention.

[Beetwasher]

13. Limited attention, only by people who read the enquirer

This won't stop Traitorgate because there's more to come from that. Rush will NOT be happy about the Enquirer story,he'll know about it and be FORCED to talk about that because his idiot listeners read the Enquirer...

[Dr Fate]

16. "IF" only the Enquirer picks this up...thats a big IF

see my original post Beet-

there is a pattern of Drudge stories mysteriously appearing in "mainstream" outlets- rember Clinton?

We shall see...

[Dr Fate]

12. I pray you are correct- Either way this is good for us...

...if the "sacrificial lamb' portion of my theory is correct- then they are quite desperate...

[Beetwasher]

15. Oh, absolutely!

I agree! If you're right, they're desperate. If I'm right, it's still all part of the plan...If it's not part of either plan, it's still BAD for Rush and that's GOOD as far as I'm concerned! ;-)

[Dr Fate]

14. It's only bad for him if it's true- if not then it is GOOD for him...

....see my comments on this in my original post-

he can laugh it off and discredit that "lying, race-baiting, liberal media" His fans will LOVE it.

[Beetwasher]

17. The best it could be is NEUTRAL for him

Yeah, he'll try to laugh it off if he can and the same old idiots that listen to him will still listen. It's not like he'll convert anyone...I still think that overall it will most likely be bad for him though...He'll be busy defending himself about the drugs and his racism instead of spewing his usual vitriol...

[Dr Fate]

19. No- I'm saying -what if the the drug story is 100% false....

...as are many if not most of Drudges "reports"- Remember Clinton?

His fams nor his advertisers will abandon him over a false story...

Dont bet the farm on Drudge stories Beet!

[Beetwasher]

20. LOL!

"Dont bet the farm of Drudge stories Beet!"

Come on Doc! Give me a little credit! I think you know better than that! ;-)

I know what you're saying, believe me, I read and totally undesrstand your post. You very well may be right, though my gut says that this won't be effective for THAT purpose. It might very well be effective though in, at the very least, distracting Rush...

[haymaker]

18. Agreed. There are no coincidences,

just carefully planned happenstance.
