Great post earlier--BTW.
I would like to interject here, in terms of calling people/things by what they really are:
Rush Limbaugh is a college drop-out who found a niche in talk radio during the Clinton years. He is not a social conservative. He is a performer who plays a social conservative on the radio.
Very interesting.
How do you square what you just said with the fact that Limbaugh went national before anyone realized a rapist was going to be the next president?
I do not believe that he actually believes (or understands) half the things he says. The arguments are way too thin and unoriginal, the rhetoric too comically extreme (just like the Sam Raimi movie I saw this weekend).
They don't have to be original to be true. In fact, because Limbaugh is discussing the greedy grabby nature of Democrats, the most common arguments are sufficient. Human nature doesn't change, and hence human nature has already been explained. Yes, Limbaugh has a funny show.
That's one reason why he became popular and the reason why the humorless commie-libs on Air America all failed.
The biggest joke was earlier in the year when Rush 'challenged' President Obama to an economics debate. A college drop-out wanted to debate a Harvard Law graduate. Talk about delusions of grandeur.:roll:
You mean besides the fact that Rush would have won that "debate" since The Messiah who graduated from Hahvahd hasn't demonstrated a lick of sense when it comes to his economic bungling.
