Earl Ofari Hutchinson

On Wednesday’s edition of MSNBC Live, Thomas Roberts continued the hysteria that fellow MSNBC host Al Sharpton created by claiming there is a concerted assault on minority voters across the country.  In an ‘interview’ with thegrio.com’s Earl Ofari Hutchinson, the two expressed fear that voting rights, particularly racial minorities like African-Americans, aren’t being protected by Congress.

Hutchinson used a National Urban League study to prop up his crazy assertions that voting rights are under attack.  [See video below.  MP3 audio here.] 

It looks like at least one Huffington Post blogger has been paying attention to the surge in Rush Limbaugh's radio ratings since the White House began attacking him. As chronicled here in NewsBusters by editor Brent Baker, Limbaugh's numbers have increased drastically ever since the organized White House attack. As a result of this Rush Surge,  Huffington Post blogger Earl Ofari Hutchinson who also writes a syndicated column, has called upon the Democrats to raise the white flag of surrender:

President Obama and the Democrats should wave the white flag in their strawman war on Rush Limbaugh. The Media Research Center delivered the grim casualty figures for the Democrats. Since January, the top talk show gabber's ratings have soared off the charts. Radio affiliates that carry Limbaugh's syndicated show call the ratings boost he's gotten from the Democrat's orchestrated attack on him a "dramatic surge." This writer predicted as much when President Obama cracked to Congressional Republicans in late January that they should knock off listening to Limbaugh if they expected to get anything done in Congress and with his administration.
