Rush Scandals as LeakGate Distraction : Theory Clearing House!
Advertisements [?]
Edited on Wed Oct-01-03 09:43 PM by 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?
