Much is being said amongst conservatives about daytime talk show host Joy Behar’s comparison of Hitler and former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld.  There is little condemnation in the press, and this will all go away within a week.

Liberals like Behar and fellow ‘The View’ hostess Rosie O’Donnell are like teflon when it comes to suffering any real downside to inflammatory remarks they make about conservatives or Republicans.  The press, quite frankly, just doesn’t care.  As a matter of fact, they applaud such remarks because it continues to feed the frenzy of distrust and suspicion of Republicans and conservatives.  The rationale is that if this momentum can be carried on through 2008, a Democrat will most surely occupy the Oval Office.

One might refer to Ms. Behar and Ms. O’ Donnell as Democratic operatives.  Their remarks are purposeful and calculated.  The only reaction to their absurd allegations and statements will be greater ratings numbers for ‘The View.’  They will have accomplished two objectives as a result of their rants.

As proof that the two hosts have no fear of repercussion, witness Behar’s comments two days later, when she suggested that Republicans engaged in a covert operation to cause Democratic Sen. Tim Johnson’s brain hemorrhage.  Republicans, who have said much less, have been thrown out of office, and while Behar is a comedian (sic) and not a politician, her public comments should pose some sense of responsibility.  Certainly comedian Michael Richards learned that.  Comedians should not be exempt from some degree of responsibility by virtue of profession.   Recent history has shown that if such comments malign the right, then they get a pass every time.

Daytime talk shows are rife with left-wing opinion and propaganda.  I would challenge anyone to present an example of a day time talk show that included one positive comment about the Bush administration. 

While ‘The View’ hosted Democratic presidential hopeful, Hillary Clinton today, they treated the visit like a promotion, and nary a critical word was spoken about Ms. Clinton.  There was, as to be expected, more discussion of the evils of the President, including statements that the President had decided to send additional troops to Iraq.  He has not said that conclusively.

The Democratic victory in November came as no surprise.  We, as a culture, are inundated with the kind of comments that Joy Bahar made.  We hear this kind of propaganda daily from news broadcasts, newspaper editorials and yes, talk show hosts. It is mind-numbing and it is intentional.  There is a concerted effort to take back the power that was lost in 1994, and no degree of absurdity or irresponsibility will be side-stepped in doing so.  Watch for more of the same.
