Reply #18: I happened upon Limbaugh talking about the Eminent Domain case [View All]

[Ian David]

Limbaugh said, "This would never have happened with a court of conservative judges."

He said that it was THE LIBERALS that were behind the eminent domain thing in Connecticut.

I tried to call-in, but couldn't get through.

I wanted to say, "Look, everyone I know on the liberal Democratic Underground blog is as pissed-off about it as you are. Liberals and Democrats own houses too, you know. We don't want OUR houses taken away, either. This is one of those things that Liberals and Conservatives can agree on. The enemy here is CORPORATIONS and BUSINESS INTERESTS."

There are a few issues on which DU and Freeperville are pretty much in synergy:

1) The majority of both boards do not like the Eminent Domain ruling.

2) The majority on both sides Support Our Troops.

And both DU and Freeperville seem equally divided within our own respective ranks on the following issues:
1) CAFTA
2) Israel
3) Guest Worker Visas

Don't forget, FR purged people from their ranks because many of them disagreed with Bush's Guest Worker program.

I'm tempted to suggest that DU and Freeperville each elect an "AMBASSADOR" to work together on shared values and areas of agreement.

For the love of god, I don't want them coming here to "open a dialog" with the group. I'm just suggesting we might each send a single representative under a flag of truce to talk to one another in an AOL chat room or in "neutral territory" somewhere.

I wonder what kind of weight it may have in the Blogger community (or even in the MSM) if DU and Free Republic started issuing press releases expressing solidarity on certain issues.

Imagine Limbaugh's head exploding if a bunch of conservative and liberal blogs-- led by DU and FR-- issued a joint statement against the Connecticut Eminent Domain case? Especially after he said that Liberals were jumping for joy about it?

We may hate them. We certainly disagree with them about MANY, MANY things, on MANY levels. But they have the ear of the people who are ignoring us.
