I wonder why leftists always find a need to parodize someone's name.
....
As has been mentioned above, both sides are guilty.
Why is this? How much does it add to the weight of your actual argument? Are you afraid the argument itself bears no merit without the additional mocking? Or are you so hate-filled at the other side of the aisle that you can't even say a rival's name without it coming out in spittle and a curse?
This is human nature. De-humanizing the other side is the first step to discrediting them. I've found that both sides are pretty much brainwashed and convinced that the other side is evil, wrong, morally corrupt, incompetent, etc. etc.
Its is extremely rare for a Democrat to acknowledge and support a Republican idea and vice versa. They are no better than LA gangs, they just have a better vocabulary and wear better suits
You know the difference between Rush Limbaugh and a stupid blowhard?
*must resist urge to comment. Must fight it...*
Stupid blowhards don't compete in every radio market in America and win them handily. Buggy insane people don't dominate their industry for a decade. The White House does not single out Ravers.
Do you know how difficult it is to talk constantly, for three hours a day, every day, and do so so entertainingly that 20,000,000 people will continue to listen to you? I don't know that I could do it. Could you?
So let me get this straight? If you are successful, then it is impossible to be insane or a blowhard?
I can make a pretty long list of successful crazy people.
A recent poll discovered that the vast number of people who criticize rush out of hand have never listened to his show, or, at best, have heard excerpts. People who have heard his show may disagree with him. They may hate him and his views, but they know he's no dullard. They certainly know he's not insane.
No. Rush is not insane. I've listen to his show for years (against my will
A coworker of mine loved Rush and we all had to suffer.
Rush is one of the most dangerous people i've ever listened to. His IQ has got to be around 150, maybe higher. His ability to be insidious but charming, damning yet debonair, condemning and condescending... It scares me worse than an Al Qaeda speech.
The worst type of negativity is negativity that you do not recognize. His fans are pretty much blind to his hate speech. They dismiss it as "Oh he's just playing..."
And I use the term hate speech in all seriousness. His mission is to pretty much discredit anything that democrats do. He is extreme in that regard and uses a variety of techniques.
He intersperses this between bits of very intelligent and even correct points and positions. This is one of those things that makes him very dangerous.
To give Rush his due, there are a lot of topics he is dead on accurate about. There are many occassions where he speaks the spot-on truth. Which is what makes it so easy for him to insert a distortion here, and exageration there.
One thing I will give Rush credit for is that he doesn't really out right lie. He distorts, he can leave out that 5% truth that turns it into a horrid 'almost lie'.
Anyways,
I will stop ranting Rush is no means innocent and i have listened to him for YEARS, not just an isolated incident. That man scares the shit out of me. Only thing scarier than him are his viewers who regard his rantings as the oracles spoken to them by god via a burning bush. Not all his fans are this fanatic, but enough of them are.
