![]() This guy has done more to alienate Americans from one another but he'd rather that divide were laid at the feet of conservative radio. Notice that even Luntz agrees that there is no equivalent voice on the left. On April 25, 2013, The American Spectator, a conservative news outlet, published a scathing article about Luntz entitled "The Problematic Frank Luntz’s Stockholm Syndrome". "In fact, what Luntz has done is simply reveal the kind of thinking that goes on in the minds of too many on the right who, whether they realize it or not, have been intellectually and culturally bullied that there is some sort of 'right way' — 'right' as in 'correct' — to think. Resulting in some conservatives who suffer from what might be called a political version of Stockholm Syndrome — where the captives identify with their captors." The article was a response to an April 22, 2013 leaked recording of Luntz at the University of Pennsylvania, where he blamed conservative radio personalities (specifically Rush Limbaugh and Mark Levin) for being "problematic" and "destroying" republicans' ability to connect with more voters, or even maintain a majority in the House of Representatives in the 2014 mid-term elections. "He warned that if his party did not resolve its internal divides, it could lose the House of Representatives next year.... 'And they get great ratings, and they drive the message, and it's really problematic. And this is not on the Democratic side. It's only on the Republican side [inaudible].... By Mark Levin, by Rush Limbaugh, and a few others.'" In response to being exposed, Luntz has announced that he will no longer fund a scholarship to the University of Pennsylvania. The scholarship, which is actually in his father's name, supports student trips to Washington D.C. |
