Media fight on the right over GOP

Rush Limbaugh couldn’t have been more right.
oxymoron?
Months before the election, the conservative radio host made a prediction: “If Obama wins, the Republican Party is going to try to maneuver things so conservatives get blamed.”
On the night of Nov. 6, shortly after President Barack Obama won reelection, Steve Schmidt went on NBC News and called on GOP leaders to “stand up” against the extreme elements in the party that the Republican strategist believes are leading it down the wrong path, even singling out Limbaugh by name. 
Days later on MSNBC, Joe Scarborough criticized Republicans for taking cues from unnamed pundits “who make tens of millions of dollars engaging in niche marketing” that the host complained provides a misleading picture of the nation’s electorate. Columnist David Frum last week slammed the “conservative entertainment complex” that had “fleeced, exploited and lied to” Republicans, ensuing doom on Election Day.
right wing not so happy with it's self too many servers and not enough chefs? when that happens you get the boil overs, the finger pointing then the patrons tend to shop in another venue.
“These people have made politics a theater for identity politics for a segment of America, rather than a way to solve collective problems,” Frum told POLITICO, referring to conservative media commentators. “What is happening now, and it’s disturbing, is that this complex has sold the idea that conservatives are the real majority in America. That claim has been exposed as false. But they are turning on the country and leading their viewers toward alienation and rejection.”
the overzealous desire to rid themselves of their worse fear "Black Man in the WH", they created an enemy that was not there kinda like those pesky WMD's.
they perceived that they were masters and commanders and the so called now former minorities were as they had mislead their base lazy, shiftless, unwilling to participate, miscalculation it has been and always was their constituents who were gullible Gus's, and believed them.
underestimation will lose your target every time. where were all the businessmen and seasoned politicians was Rove their brain trust too? underestimation born of arrogance has eventually brought all tyrannical zealots down, they are reading the wrong books.
