A new coalition was launched Thursday to specifically target conservatives Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, Lou Dobbs, Pat Buchanan, and Paul Brown.

Called StopTheWitchHunt.org, their goal is "to give voice to the millions of Americans who believe it is time for talk-show hosts and elected officials to stop stoking the racial anxieties of the fringes of America."

They accuse the quintet of spewing "lies and hate speech...in a nationwide witch hunt" against President Obama. 

They even call Limbaugh's "I hope he fails" remark "the verbal equivalent of putting a razor blade in a candy apple." 

Their press release is even more hysterical, especially the misspelling of one of the objects of their disaffection:

Story Continues Below Ad ↓

This Halloween, take action against the lies and hate speech that Glen [sic] Beck, Rush Limbaugh, Lou Dobbs, Paul Brown, and Pat Buchanan have been spewing in a nationwide witch hunt.  

Echo Justice, a coalition of national and local organizations launched a multi-media counter to the right-wing's echo chamber. StopTheWitchHunt.org is a newly formed multimedia watch dog portal that will use social media and mobile communications to take a grassroots stand and "call out" the mischaracterizations and hate speech that has been going on for too long.

"History has taught that bad things happen when good people are silent," says Makani Themba- Nixon, Executive Director of The Praxis Project and a member of the Echo Justice coalition. "StoptheWitchHunt.org allows us to confront these scare tactics and make our voices heard."

The website is designed to give voice to the millions of Americans who believe it is time for talk-show hosts and elected officials to stop stoking the racial anxieties of the fringes of America.

Beck and his fellow band of hooligans have been telling scary stories about President Obama whom Limbaugh has disrespectfully referred to as "the little black man child." Beck recently accused the biracial President of having "a deep-seated hatred for white people or the white culture." And he has attacked a number of key Administration officials accusing them of being socialist and anti-American. Limbaugh, who has a history of making racially charged remarks about Obama, has called the mixed-race president "a halfrican American." Days before the President's inauguration in January, Limbaugh said, "I hope he fails" - the verbal equivalent of putting a razor blade in a candy apple.

StoptheWitchHunt.org is just the beginning of a multi-media campaign to support a new resistance to these Halloween Goons.

Readers who aren't sufficiently frightened will want to take a gander at their logo (PDF here) which is a cartoon picture of the five gentlemen dressed in what appears to be Pilgrim attire carrying pitchforks and torches in front of the White House.

BOO, scary!

Heloooooo....your "cause"

Heloooooo....your "cause" IS a witch-hunt...

What utter morons!  And gutless too - no e-mail address....

Once again people

go on their shows and PROVE any of them wrong.  Prove just ONE or TWO things wrong.  That's all.  You cannot, cuz they bring FACTS to the table.  You?  All you have are..........

I cannot wait til 2010.  However I do have a very bad feeling acorn will be around in some way shape or form, and screw up another election.  PLEASE conservatives-  Push for pic ID's at the polls.

I do find it amusing that dems/libs find it's okay to cheat their way in.  Something I really want to be a part of.  NOT!

Monologues

Don't require facts and that's all the majority of the Prestitutes are qualified for.

Anyone can win a debate when they are the only participant, facts just get in the way

mttm: Exactly what I first

mttm: Exactly what I first thought...  they are the witch-hunt.  They go after conservatives with no facts.  Not only that, but they just plain make stuff up and claim it as true.

My thoughts exactly.

Their lack of perspective turns their self-righteousness into a self mockery.

- Relying upon the State Run Media for your information is like relying upon an embezzler for your portfolio management.

- I didn't leave the Republican Party; the Republican Party left me.

Democrats have no brains

So not sure what you call them ...

It worked out so well with FNC, this time with astroturfers.

Isn't it odd the party of the KKK is so into intimidation and threats.

I really, really, really love my tagline, now.

 

I hope he fails, too.

 

 

Fail To The Chief

I really, really, really agreed with your tag line the first time I saw it!

Yes, well

We conservie women are really smart! 

And we have impeccable taste (in men, shoes, and everything else).

I hope he fails, too.

tag line

I love your tag line too Blonde! Gawd.. I can't stand this man. I want him to lose, lose, lose.  Saw him 'honoring' the soldiers with his fraidy-cat salute. If the Tea Party goes to the North Country for the Dist 23 vote in N.Y.,  I'm going to drive up and kick some ass.   Double damn spit, I'm mad.

 

 

It's all good, my conservie NB pals.

And....I think it would be kind of cute, if everyone would adopt an "I hope he fails" number.

Obviously, I have "too".

But you all could adopt "three, four, five" and so on.

:)

I hope he fails, too.

 

 

How about...

I hope he fails, ∞!

LOL, Ruk

I hope he fails like Lame Kitten?

 

I hope he fails, too.

 

 

"I Hope He Fails"....

...covers a lot of ground, as a statement. Does it include National security? Our various war efforts? This just doesn't look right to me:

I Hope He Fails ...our troops in action.

He IS failing our troops in action! Maybe you didn't notice that. No, we're talking about what the quote actually meant, we hope he fails with HIS SOCIALIST POLICIES! Protecting the troops and our security are not socialist policies, they are the Constitution! And he's failing so far, big time!

Tinkles, in a nutshell we hope he fails in destroying our

country.  It is quite obvious.

Failure

TT:

After nine plus months in office, tagged onto the eons he spent in my face while campaigning, the posprez has, for me,  accomplished one very important thing.

The current LOTUS/TOTUS has allowed me, at last, to get a handle on why so many Dems and Libs were afflicted with BDS (Bush Derangement Syndrome).

They absolutely hated, and apparently still hate, George W. Bush. 

I liked Dubya (liked, not loved), cared not at all for either Global Warming Gore or the Horse-faced Gigolo, so voted Bush, twice.

As has been said, elections have consequences. 

The Obama side worked hard, campaigned magnificently, and earned their place in the sunshine.

None of the foregoing takes away from any citizen who did not prefer Obama, the right to cuss and discuss the posprezs' failings, and those failings (in my mind) are legion.

Everyone of an age to vote has an opinion of, and most, I am sure, have feelings about, Obama.

The absolute majority of my friends, my relatives, my neighbors,  my acquaintances, and the posters here on NB, do not have emanations of warm fuzzies that cause us to want to reach for and embrace BHO as our Savior.

Those who like and voted for Obama are entitled to view him however they wish.

I have noticed that expressed feelings about him (from conservatives) run the gamut from muted indifference to visceral dislike.

Personally, I feel the posprez is a sleazy politician out of the cesspool of the Chicago Democratic Machine, and that further, he has single-handedly earned every ounce of disrespect I feel for him.

To coin a phrase, "He lies."

Sure, all politicians lie.

Obama does so with a facility, an arrogance, and an oiliness that repulses me.

So, I want the basic tenets of governance in this Country to remain solid, its' citizens and its' warriors to be safe.

I not only believe Obama will NOT keep the said status quo, I do believe he cares for nothing and no one except his perceived image of himself.

He not only acts just like a schoolyard punk; sadly, he gives every evidence that he IS a shallow, vain, schoolyard punk.    

I really do not see anything in him, professionally, politically, or personally, to like.

It's a great tagline, blonde

and I hope Obama, the little black man child, who has a deep-seated hatred for white people or the white culture,  fails, too.

 

 

Blonde

He needs not only to fail but fail badly (if that degree of failure is possible). In a more serious note. I have noticed many commenters wanting the prez to do the "right" thing, act maturely and responsibly, make decisions in an intelligent and mature manner and stop being the rabid political statist hack that he is. I do not agree with this. Nothing he does should be considered any kind of political victory. He cannot be allowed succeed in anything. Every thing he does should be a laughingstock failure. He should be shown in word and deed what an empty dangerous suit he is in all his narcissistic glory. Discredit, scorn and failure are the only way for this guy and his lefty government to be banished to the political backwater they deserve never to rise and govern again. If he starts acting (and acting it will be) like the prez we think he should be then he and his ilk congress and administration will be with us again in 2013 and maybe forever.

WH leads by example

When White House officials abuse the phrase “speaking truth to power” in their attempts to squash dissenting voices, it's little wonder their lapdogs are acting rabid.

I'm actually with them!

Let's go after those radio AND TV hosts stoking racial and other anxieties with their lies and hate speech!  You know, people like Mike Malloy, Randi Rhodes, Jeanine Garafalo, Bill Maher, Keith Olbermann, Ed Shultz, etc., etc.

Maybe Soros funded?  If they can collect enough bad opinions and scare up enough misinformation with a website like this, they can try to get a national agenda going against all talk radio and get a "anti-hate radio"  bill moving in congress. I can just see the big boulder dropping on them........again.

Took my breath away

I was stunned at how well the defition of witch hunt fits what they are trying to do and what we've seen over the past few months.  It's shocking how innuendo and lies from the left have been used so effectively to stymie people who live by truth and facts.

Truth and Facts

In this arena don't matter. Much. Perception is the name of the game I think it has always been this way. Marginalising, demonising and smearing an opponent whether the demonisers are agenda driven, cynical or 'true' believers. It is the full court press against conservatives. If they are successful in silencing us then I guess they win all the marbles. You would think the left/dems would be a happy lot as they have majorities in both houses of congress and the Presidency and maybe the supreme court but they seem to be a tad insecure about it. We and the country are in for a rough ride.

Why is it when Liberals Name Something

Why is it When Liberals Name Something it alomst always has the exact opposite meaning of the title. Stop the Witch Hunt is a Witch Hunt. The Affordable Healthcare Bill is Unaffordable, I could go on but just look at the Names of Liberal Legislation and it almost Always has the opposite Meaning of the title. Just because you call Bovine Excrement something else it still stinks.

Its gotten to the point that I now think I woke up in Bizarro World. At least the Liberals are pretty consistent in thier naming policies so it is actually pretty easy to see what is wrong with any Democrat Sponsered Legislation.

Great point, richb

If we go with the premise that the truth is the opposite of everything they say or name, then we will have a head start! 

"How strangely will the Tools of a Tyrant pervert the plain Meaning of Words!"  Sam Adams 

Read 1984

They use classic doublespeak for nearly everything. If they repeat it enough times they think that they can get people to believe it -- and unfortunately many people do start believing it (that is one of the reasons they managed to win this last race -- by confusing the issues and convincing people that night was day and day: night).

That is what they are doing now with FOX news and pretty much everything else. Repeating the same lies until people believe that the lies are the truth and that the truth the lie.

As, to be hated, needs but to be seen;
Yet seen too oft, familiar with her face,

dorks

do you think it occurred to any of these geniuses that they are in fact launching a witch hunt?

The site says that

The site says that Limbaugh, Beck, et al are 'millionaires'! Can you imagine! People who have money!
You never see those 'millionaires' in the Democrat Senate, Congress, Governors, White House, Mainstream Media or Hollywood! They're all dog-poor, just like us!

I'm glad that we have a site dedicated to making things FAIR! And getting those 'millionaires'!

Time to engage the Br'er Rabbit Approach

This can be accomplished by convincing their website to list the times of the offending programming.  It should include the day/time slots/and stations in the listening/viewing areas of their readership.  That way their, now, sheeple can tune in and judge for themselves. 

I'm betting on ratings of the named individuals continuing to sky-rocket and some of their crowd eventually coming over from the dark side.

failure barracks osama bin obama mmmm mmmm mmmm

spews his own lies and hate speech...in a nationwide witch hunt  and yes I am tired of it.The time for impeachment and a severe prosecution of this enemy of the USA has come and gone.        failure osama obama mm mm mmm must go in order to save the country.

They still don't get it. 

They still don't get it.  They're just drawing attention to the arguments of Beck etc, and people will find that, hey, there are some real issues here to be dealt with.  They are just throwing gasoline on the fire.

Witch Hunt....

I find it very interesting that our Senator Begich from Alaska is using the same term concerning the demands for an investigation in to his actions as Mayor as he was leaving for Washington.

He nearly lost to a wrongly convicted felon, Ted Stevens. If only.

He clearly had knowledge of financial shortcomings in the city budget for Anchorage (down 33 Million) and it would appear hid this information and proceeded to negotiate numerous Union contracts for years out with no means of paying same.

Some of those contracts are just absolutely Peachy!  And which Unions supported the good Senator?  guess...

But those who want to know how this happened and whom should be held accountable... they're on a "Witch Hunt."

Other than Saul's book...do they have some kinda manual?  Liberal see, liberal do?

Obama is a  liar and Truth is

killing his Marxist agenda.

No citizen's right to life, liberty, pursuit of happiness, or property is safe as long as Obama is President of the United States.

The True Nutballs try to organize

The internet is a great tool, but this is one of the clear downsides to it- these nutballs on the left, used to live their lives hiding under bridges or down the their parents basement, as the true fringes of society- now the internet has connected a few of them beyond just CNN, and God knows why- they think they are the majority!  Several months will go by- this organization might have 1,000 members!  When their on line with their web site, who will be watching CNN or MSNBC? Are they so clueless that they don't realize that Rush has 20 million plus listeners- that's a fringe group?

THIS IS WAR!

If anyone has any doubt  now whether we are in a war for our freedom and country right now you probably  belong on the other side. 

This is a PLAN being executed by enemies of the capitalist system and the United States of America.

I suspect that elections have been stolen in my state and elsewhere for years. The only reason some races have been closer here  lately is because we have put  more conservative and GOP poll watchers in place.

If they pass this socialist  health care  plan,grant citizenship to the illegals here now,essentially opening the borders, they will annihilate  their opposistion  FOREVER.

Just think of all those  brand new shining democrats.

I'm not going down without a fight.

After watching those twenty

After watching those twenty or so Democrat New Jersey voters last night on Hannity's show, I'm more fully realizing the mentality of the sheeple.  They couldn't even bring themselves to blame the Democrats and their tax and spend policies for the very things they were complaining about.

Yeah, let's blame Bush, Rush and the usual suspects instead.

One of the 34% who thinks George W. Bush was a great President. One of the 86% who wants to bring back the stock and pillory.

I watched and it was

I watched and it was interesting to see them want to change yet only one wanted to change to Independent.  The one young boy in there was the most interesting, he did not like the taxes and what was happening to NJ but he was still voting Democrat; felt Corzine had more experience, I thought it was a case of voting Dim no matter what.

  I'll bet that narcissist,

  I'll bet that narcissist, Sean Hannity is just bouncing off the walls because he wasn't included in the list. He won't be able to say that they attacked him, which is what he claims anytime someone even mentions his name in a public forum.

Not the only group doing this

I got an email from Bravenewfilms.org yesterday requesting me to sign their petition and write my Congress"person" because Fox News is on a "witch hunt" to stop progressive champions and the Obama administration.  They are specifically petitioning Congress not to extend the Defund ACORN Act.  Sounds like an astroturf rather than grass roots movement to me.

          This is

          This is nothing compared to what is about to happen. They call it a witch hunt. WE call it an impeachment process. obama has no qualifications to be president. He's not even a good organizer. He apolagized to the world, like we had something to apolagize for. He calls us names, like we are idiots & terrorists. He is circumventing the Constitution to fit his cause. This is not an American. This is a treasonous, vile, contemptable man. The sooner he is out, the better off we will be......                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                

Which hunt?

Wouldn't Obama be a warlock? Gee, wouldn't want THAT to get around.

 

Paul Brown

So who is Paul Brown? The PDF is a one-page nothing, and on Google all I get is a football coach. And why Buchanan? Isn't he sort of yesterday's news?

This sounds like it may be an old grudge against these folks. Find out who Paul Brown is and look for a common factor.

Liberals mentioning history?

"History has taught that bad things happen when good people are silent,

More like "History has taught that bad things happen when good people are silenced." They'd love for nothing more than to see conservatives silenced.

Like Obamao, they're children, but ones who...

...are thugs and bullies, true fraidy-cats.

Were the Founding Fathers still alive, these thugs would be trying to suppress their free speech.

Actually, though, they're doing that right now, given the thugs', and I do inlcude Barack Obama, attempt to do away with the First Amendment.

Obama and his thugs and fellow Marxists/Maoists must be stopped.
