When conservative shock-jock Rush Limbaugh attacks someone, he’s actually paying them a compliment. He’s telling the world this is a person worth knowing.

This is a person who possesses what he lacks — credibility and integrity.

Such was the case during his Friday show when Limbaugh went on a rampage about the award-winning filmmaker, activist, and director Jen Senko regarding her new documentary The Brainwashing of My Dad.

The film is premiering in a number of major cities this week including NYC and Los Angeles.

It’s premise is to expose the ongoing distortion and corruption created by the right wing ‘hate media’ in order to manipulate the public. And it’s been going on for decades.

Here is a synopsis about the film followed by the movie trailer.

The Man the Founders Feared by Peter Wehner

“I THINK you’d have riots.” So said Donald J. Trump last week, when he was asked by CNN what he thought would happen if he arrived at the Republican Convention this summer a few delegates short of the 1,237 needed to win outright and didn’t set forth from Cleveland as the party’s nominee.

It is stunning to contemplate, particularly for those of us who are lifelong Republicans, but we now live in a time when the organizing principle that runs through the campaign of the Republican Party’s likely nominee isn’t adherence to a political philosophy — Mr. Trump has no discernible political philosophy — but an encouragement to political violence.

Mr. Trump’s supporters will dismiss this as hyperbole, but it is the only reasonable conclusion that his vivid, undisguised words allow for. As the examples pile up, we should not become inured to them.

Donald Trump Meets With Republicans at DC Law Firm

Some see the meeting as "capitulation of the Republican Establishment"

Donald Trump is meeting with influential Republicans at a Washington D.C. law firm Monday as the party's establishment continues to grapple with how to manage the unconventional candidate's dominance in the GOP primary race, NBC News reported.

Rep. Scott DesJarlais of Tennessee told reporters outside the meeting that the issue of "party unity" would be discussed at the gathering.

Sen. Jeff Sessions, the candidate's most prominent congressional voice on national security and immigration policy, is scheduled to be in attendance, as are Arkansas Sen. Tom Cotton, Rep. Renee Ellmers of North Carolina and Trump endorsers Rep. Tom Reed of New York and Duncan Hunter of California.

Conservative commentator and leading Trump critic Erick Erickson wrote Monday that the Jones Day meeting constitutes a "capitulation of the Republican Establishment" where "leaders of the party will gather to kneel before Donald Trump and pledge allegiance to him."

Ted Cruz Names Anti-Muslim Conspiracy Theorist As Top Foreign-Policy Adviser

On Thursday, Cruz revealed his national-security advisory team. The first name on the list? Frank “Obama is a Muslim” Gaffney, Bloomberg reports. Gaffney is the Joe McCarthy of Islamophobia.

His think tank, the Center for Security Policy, is dedicated to raising awareness about the jihadist infiltration of the American government.

For Gaffney, Barack Hussein Obama is but the tip of the iceberg — in truth, the Muslim Brotherhood has placed operatives throughout the federal government.

Among their top agents: Clinton adviser Huma Abedin and anti-tax zealot Grover Norquist.

In conservative circles, it's one thing to accuse liberals with foreign-sounding names of “stealth jihad.” It’s quite another to say the same of a white male libertarian who has devoted his life to the noble cause of widening the income gap.

After Gaffney wrote a full book on Norquist’s alleged sharia schemes, he was banned from the 2011 Conservative Political Action Conference. (The strongest verifiable evidence of Norquist’s jihadist sympathies appears to be that his wife is a Muslim-American).

Here are some other things that Gaffney believes:

1. Saddam Hussein was behind the Oklahoma City bombing.

2. Obama incorporated the Islamic crescent into the logo of a new missile-defense group.

3. By appointing a Muslim-American to New Jersey’s state judiciary, Chris Christie may be complicit in treason.

Gaffney isn’t merely a disseminator of conspiracy theories; he’s also a disseminator of methodologically flawed studies, including a poll that Donald Trump has used to justify his Muslim ban.

Cruz’s other advisers are nearly as alarming. His list includes three other employees of Gaffney’s think tank, along with former assistant U.S. Attorney Andrew McCarthy, author of The Grand Jihad: How Islam and the Left Sabotage America; Iran-Contra schemer Elliott Abrams; and Michael Ledeen, a former Reagan official who once said, “Every ten years or so, the United States needs to pick up some small crappy little country and throw it against the wall, just to show the world we mean business."

Trump Loves Mormons. But His Favorite Pastor Says They Are Led By Satan.

“Do I love the Mormons?” Donald Trump asked last week in Utah. “I have many friends that live in Salt Lake City, I have a lot of friends, I have a lot of friends, and by the way, Mitt Romney is not one of them.

Did he choke? Did this guy choke? He’s a choke artist. I can’t believe — are you sure he’s a Mormon? Are we sure?”

Despite Trump’s (mixed) praise for the Mormon faith heading into the Utah primary, Mormon voters may want to know why the Republican presidential frontrunner has been touting the support of Texas pastor Robert Jeffress.

Somehow, Trump’s claim to “love the Mormons” is less convincing given that he’s aligned himself with a radical pastor who believes Catholicism, Mormonism, Islam and homosexuality are inspired by Satan.

Challenge to John Kasich on Pennsylvania ballot dropped.

John Kasich will appear on April's Republican primary ballot in Pennsylvania, next door to his home state of Ohio where he whipped front-runner Donald J. Trump and Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas on Tuesday.

Kasich's opportunity to continue the fight for the nomination here was in question after representatives of Marco Rubio's campaign challenged Kasich's petitions, claiming the Ohio governor did not submit enough valid signatures to appear on the ballot.

On Wednesday, a day after the Florida senator suspended his campaign, Rubio student operative Nathaniel Rome dropped the Commonwealth Court filing he initiated, said Chris Bravacos, CEO of the Bravo Group and brother to the attorney representing Rome.
