Here’s why Rush survived pressure on advertisers while O’Reilly didn’t

comment:

Personally, I felt no stake in this controversy because I don't watch much television.  Therefore, I was not familiar with O'Reilly.  Not only that, but I didn't care.

That may be a mistake.  Once again, there is this pattern of the politics of "shut up".  The left's only way to deal with conservatives is to shut them up, hence this tactic.

The left has another scalp.  The war will continue.  Everyone in the conservative side needs to care about these tactics, and find a way to defeat them.

Update:

The politics of shut up came into play here for the following reasons:

• Bill O'Reilly supported Trump.  Therefore, he has to be punished.
• Note that O'Reilly has a history of sexual harassment allegations.  But these only mattered now.
• Note also that the left doesn't care about sexual harassment per se, only when it affects their political goals.  Therefore, Trump is a problem for the left, and his supporters must be punished.

The pattern evidences itself over and over again.  Dissent from the leftist point of view is not to be tolerated.  Note that the left doesn't want to debate the matter, they want to silence it.

Update:

The left likes to point out certain facts that appear to be reasonable, like this here.  But note how selective it is.  They never go after anything for principle's sake, but for the sake of power.  If Howard Dean thinks Ann Coulter should be censored, then what about leftists who act hatefully themselves?

It is only one way for the left, their way or the highway.

Update:

Limbaugh says that the corporations are innocent victims in all this.  I have to call BS on this.  The corporations have the power to shut down O'Reilly.  Therefore, they also have the power to shut down the left.  Instead of shutting them down, they empower them, as they did here.  Therefore, they are not innocent.
