"RINOS" fight back, use uncomplimentary term for right wing media: "conservative entertainment complex"

Before the election, moderate Republicans feared being called "RINO" (Republicans In Name Only) if they failed to kowtow to the extreme right.

On Sunday's Meet The Press, conservative analyst Steve Schmidt observed that "the Republican party needs to get it together..." and have "zero tolerance with the terrible tone that's coming out of the talk radio universe."

It is, of course, aimed at getting votes. Schmidt said, "to too many swing voters in the country, when you hear the word 'conservative' now, they think of loons and wackos."
