COgirl from Hang Right Politics has written this post about some words Tammy Bruce had to say on the Bill O’Reilly show.
What Bruce mentioned on the O’Reilly Factor was how when she was president of NOW, she had a list of names and phone numbers of people in the MSM. When she wanted to raise an issue, test a theory or just bad mouth someone on the right, all she had to do was pick up the phone and make a few calls. Once the NY [T]imes ran with the story, it was quickly picked up and was all over the news. If people hear a story enough, they begin to think it’s true even though many times the MSM never checked out the facts.
Bruce indicated that this technique is regularly done by the extreme left and they used it to bring down Imus. She wrote on her website, TammyBruce.com:
Keep in mind, Imus is not a ‘conservative,’ but he is also not a leftist. I see this attack on Imus very much like the attempt by Establishment Left to purge Lieberman (and what he represents) from the Democratic Party–there is indeed an ideological war going on, and even before the leftist gestapos out there feel they can turn to silencing conservatives, they have to purge their own house of liberals who don’t pledge allegiance to the leftist worldview. It’s why I get attacked by the left for not being a “real†Democrat and why Imus was one of the first on their Hit List to go.
It’s very Maoist, and very dangerous unless we all speak up. I think we’re a nation which can handle being occasionally offended, and can have that discussion socially. Yet, under the guise of protecting the apparently freakishly vulnerable and sensitive ears of minorities, we’re being asked to punish and destroy only those who dare to question and decry leftism, issue dissent and cause a politically incorrect ruckus (the two usually go together). All of us would prefer a world where certain phrases aren’t even considered as part of the social debate, but what this is really about is how far you are willing to be manipulated, in the name of ‘decency’, to allow and accept Stalinistic control over what can and cannot be heard .
Tammy Bruce is a Democrat who happened to vote for President Bush. COgirl happened to have the TV on when O’Reilly came on and heard it; otherwise she doesn’t listen to O’Reilly (neither do I) or she would never have heard this.
Update:Go to Hot Air to hear Bruce on the O’Reilly show.

As usual when you quote people from a hanging right politics, the story is wrong. I know you right wingers take delight in someone saying their Democrat and agreeing with you. She is no more Democrat than you are. What’s next, deleting quotes that don’t agree with your way of seeing things?
Thats just goes to prove that the post, who needed a study, is correct.
Cal,
View the video I just linked in the update and go to Tammy Bruce’s site and read her biography. She’s a democrat, but seems to be a fair person.
And, btw, I have never deleted quotes that don’t agree with me. The purpose of this blog is to get views from all people regardless of political affiliation. If she says she’s a democrat I can’t argue with her because I haven’t seen her registration card.
In addition, I consider myself to be a conservative Republican on national security issues and probably lean liberal to moderate on social issues, so I am hardly a ‘right-winger’ in the way you mean it.
She is a raving lunatic.:-@
Listen to the video and chill out, Cal. I didn’t make up what she said.
HRP is a radical right wing site That has treated you rather poorly. If you’re going to quote them, you should be willing to take the heat.
I apologize if I have harmed you. Please don’t bring hang right politics to this wonderful, open-minded Blog
I’m finished with this discussion with you, Cal. Listen to the video and go to Tammy Bruce’s site, read her biography and decide for yourself.
J - Wow, never knew I was considered “radical right wing.” If that’s the case, what’s Polipundit considered?
BTW, you’re spot on about Tammy Bruce, and she’s one of my favoite reads.
Big Mo, I’ve been described as many things but “radical” was not part of them. :”>
Glad to see the bit of a change in this post..speaks volumes!
Big MO
HRP shouldn’t block people’s comments because they disagree with what you are saying. HRP has blocked ~J~ from commenting on the blog after she went through the trouble of helping to develop the site. That just isn’t right. On this site you can say anything you want. You can disagree, and your comments will never be blocked. As a matter of fact it’s healthy to debate. So talk to Kathy and maybe open up your blog too a little dissent.
It would be an honor if you would consider doing a little posting on this site.
Tonto you’re no better than they are.
J you’re about as radical as they come.%-(
Hey, Cal, don’t tell anyone but down deep I’m a stinky, scummy hippie!
