That is exactly what commentators are doing, such as Glenn Beck.

They are propagating malicious and outlandish lies without fear of being repudiated. They are involved in forming such "Big Lie"…

Yup, this is wrong. Now where were you when the Bushies were doing the same thing, not to the arts, but to the Department of Justice? What was the big job interview question to become a U.S. attorney… something about the length and depth of your support for the president's agenda??? I do favor shutting down the NEA, just like I favor shutting down 501(c)(3). I want the IRS out of the business of deciding which voluntary organizations are "approved." I also don't mind wealthy donors giving because they believe, instead of for a tax break. Let's level the playing field. Likewise, as long as government money flows to the arts, whoever is in power will have some influence over which art is "approved," and citizens will be clamoring to cut off whichever art they don't like, as will lobbyists. If the artist who did religious artifacts floating in urine can find a private funding source, more power to him, I don't have to pay for it, and I don't get a veto.

Kuddos to Ben Shapiro…. another Grand Slam article! I really like your idea of a website that posts the NEA grants and loans… I can only imagine that by picking up this tread off the ball it will unwind into a snarley knotted mess that is best to just be swept up and thrown in the trash….Let us all start pulling the thread….only Heaven knows what other gross improprity and illegal actions will be reveiled.

I keep wondering about that phrase. Rush was using "teachable moment," then I heard Barry using it, now it has morphed into a less-recognizable "teaching moment."

For awhile there it could be quite entertaining, see what gets first mentioned on Rush then see what Barry "changes direction on," "clarifies the position on," or outright skews the propaganda against. Someone surely thinks Rush is worth keeping track of, and I do not mean just DHS and JanNap.

I want an investigation to find out what Obama knew and when he knew it. I also want the NEA defunded. Any group that believes religious artifacts floating in urine to be art is sick and needs to be closed down. Buffy needs a stake through her heart, provided she has one. What a sorry bunch of people!

I wonder if all involved will check themselves into rehab. Is that still the In thing to do???

This administration was trying to use the NEA, which is funded largely by taxpayers, to provide propaganda for their agenda. This is in direct violation of several laws PLUS it is highly unethical.

Good heavens, this administration is really, really corrupt.
