Star Parker: Liberals Treat Herman Cain Like a Runaway Slave

Sean Hannity interviewed Star Parker and Dr. Marc Lamont Hill on his radio show November 2nd. Star had some harsh criticism for of the liberal attacks on Herman Cain.

Interestingly, Star Parker's Wikipedia page has been deleted. Here's a screen grab of the deletion message:

Wikipedia gets bashed a lot in conservative circles because of things like this. They deserve it; however, you can make a difference by creating a free and (optionally) anonymous Wikipedia account ("create account" is in the upper right corner of that page). Once you can login to Wikipedia, you'll be able to create and edit content their encyclopedia articles. That's one area of the Internet that I think needs more involvement from Tea Party conservatives.

Rush, They have a Proscription for That!

World Net Daily reports on Rush Limbaugh's worries:

In an e-mail sent to Zev Chafets, author of the new book "Rush Limbaugh: An Army of One," Limbaugh admitted, "I know I am a target and I know I will be destroyed eventually. I fear that all I have accomplished and all the wealth I have accumulated will be taken from me, to the cheers of the crowd. I know I am hated and despised by the American Left."

Proscription is the government sanctioned murder of political opponents—so called "enemies of the state." In ancient Rome, it functioned like a death tax. The property of the proscribed was auctioned off, those responsible for capturing or killing the person were awarded a bounty, and the rest of the estate went to Rome. That's pretty much what Rush fears.

Rush, we understand your concern, but don't worry. You're the Obi-Wan Kenobi of conservative talk radio: "If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you could possibly imagine." As a mentor of mine frequently said: "the pioneers take the arrows and the settlers take the land." You've taken the arrows so that others—Sean Hannity, Glenn Beck, Hugh Hewitt, and Dana Loesch—could stake a claim to parts of this conservative land. You've raised the bar. You've set the standard by which all who follow will, not only be measured, but strive to surpass.

One of Rome's greatest orators, Cicero, was a defender of the republican form of government. He died under Mark Antony's proscription.
