I wanted to tell you about what “liberal talk show host” Stephanie Miller said on Larry King the other night, but my ADD got the better of me as I was typing the title to this post, and I started thinking about just what a “left-wing talk show host” actually was, and wondering whether, much like the tree falling in the remote woods, if a liberal goes on talk radio to host a show, and nobody tunes in to hear it — as happens with pretty much every lefty who tries to harness that medium — did it really happen? Just some food for thought on this first Friday in March…
Anyway, back to the story: so-called “liberal talk show host” Stephanie Miller, who may or may not actually be such, because there may or may not be a single American who has actually heard her program, was on Larry King Live Tuesday night, where she called Rush Limbaugh’s dissent against the Obamadministration’s Obamagenda a “treasonous” act.
Miller, like so many other hard-lefties, may be a little dizzy from the hairpin turn she and her colleagues made at breakneck speed from rooting all-out that the President and all his policies fail (and he and his administration be arrested and “frog marched from the White House”) to declaring that any dissent at all from the Presidential line is “treasonous.”
Fortunately, we’re here not only to prevent that prior position from being memory-holed, as so many lefties so desperately want it to be, but also to send their own slogan right back at them:
On Live, Miller went on to grouse about all the attention Rush is getting for his declaration that he wants Obama’s policies to fail because they would be detrimental to the country and its future.
Perhaps Stephanie Miller, like new DNC ED Jen O’Malley Dillon, needs to trade in a few chits for a spot on the morning operativemedia strategy calls with White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel (D-IL; no relation), because she seems to be missing out on the Democratic strategy of the day, which is to give Rush as much attention as possible in an attempt to label the entire GOP apparatus as his followers.
By the way, Miller’s next statement is a better summary of the state of so-called Liberal Talk Radio than I’ve heard in quite some time:
If I could say something tonight that gets me that kind of attention, like maybe Rush Limbaugh should be executed for treason. How about that?
That’s literally what it takes for a lib talker to get any attention whatsoever: go on CNN (because nobody hears your so-called “program”) and say something so outrageous it has to be covered. No wonder the Left is so hot and heavy for the fairness doctrine!
By the way, much like the D.L. Hughley “GOP is literally Nazi Germany!!1!” claim, CNN had no reaction to such an outrageous statement being expressed on its airwaves. Why am I not surprised?
You all need to read "Liberal Fascism"
EagleWatcher Friday, March 6th at 12:27PM EST (link)This book by Jonah Goldberg is incredibly prescient and relevant. The similarities between the current Obama Administration and the Fascists of the last century are uncanny.
This kind of stuff is not surprising in the least.

Fred Maidment Friday, March 6th at 5:50PM EST (link)…And which Presidential candidate spoke to a crowd of 200,000 in Berlin? Or gave his penultimate campaign speech in front of Greco-Romanesque columns before a huge stadium crowd? Talking about a class of people they would punish because, after all, everything was their fault because they were greedy and didn’t meet the
AryanLiberal Ideal?Right out of Hitler’s playbook.
Almost no one called them on it, and those who did were called hysterical or crazy.
Sad, sad, sad…

FAKE!!!
Jerminator Friday, March 6th at 12:31PM EST (link)Seriously, you can’t get me to believe that there is a left-wing talk radio host.
Even if there is….by talking about it we will probably expand her audience.

Oops!
Sharp_Right_Turn Friday, March 6th at 12:40PM EST (link)I meant Stephanie Miller.
And...they call Conservatives haters…
franklinslocke Friday, March 6th at 12:55PM EST (link)It never surprises me when an angry Liberal spews hate and hostility. They call us haters, racists, and a variety other harsh adjectives, when they are the hostile, angry ones. They are so misguided and uninformed and confused by an unsatisfying ideology. It is so sad…

The Republican strategist, Nancy Pfotenhauer doesn't speak up
INC Friday, March 6th at 1:13PM EST (link)Her first comment at NB is fine, but then when Miller says Rush is treasonous, Nancy doesn’t jump in and blast her for it. Nancy then proceeds to get boxed in by King and Miller.
I think last week Moe Lane said this:
Look at the way Nancy concedes and lets King and Miller define the direction. It’s terrible.
I’m more outraged at Nancy. She should have known the direction Miller and King would take. Why wasn’t she ready to fight?
We need remedial speech and debate training for Republicans.
who is Stephanie
larryp Friday, March 6th at 1:29PM EST (link)Stephanie Miller is the daughter of William Miller, whor ran as Vp on the Goldwater ticket in 1964.
She had a talk show in L.A. she was funny before she went left. Now she is not funny,a real negative for a stand-up comic
Wonder if Ms Miller thought Jane Fonda should have neem tried for treason. she visited the enemy, had her picture taken on a N. V. Tank and
loewenbrau Friday, March 6th at 6:17PM EST (link)most importantly gave the N.V. the note so desperately slipped to her by our military personnel about the torture, real torture by the way—not the “religiousely approved chicken & prayer rug “, so called torture.
Did Ms Miller think Shawn Penn should be tried for treason? He visited a known enemy of the US –Chavez. How about Harry Belafonte, who visited Castro & Chavez.
Oh!! That’s right—to Ms Miller, those are the good guys —the ones who run their cocuntry in a way Ms Miller would like the Rep/Consv. to be treated. Ah, yes, call us Nazis —–but who actually tramples on people’s freedom? Correct, the Left. R. L. says something they do not like so its ” off with his head”—-or the more accepted “try him for treason”.
