So what do you even care about a few "radical liberals" anyway? We're talking about a few percent of the population. It's not that influential of a group.

Or more concisely what is the truth, as you perceive it, regarding your last sentence above?

Thats easy. The lesser of two evils.

This is why the alternative media is thriving, because America now see's what people like Soros stand for, and how he plays a huge part in the Democratic party.

Without guys like Hannityy and Rush, people only see one side of the story. This is why the left cant stand the alternaive media, because they expose them for who they are and what they truly stand for.

I Know, Thank God Rush exposed Micheal J Fox for the Threat to America that he really is. Damn Faker......to think I felt sorry for him all these years when he really was just playing me all along. :rolleyes:

Radical Islam would have little voice were it not for the real angst that it's leaders tap into.

Same goes for any movement.

Fox admitted that he was off his meds went he appeared in front of congress a while back. He did it so the effects of his disease would show even more than usual. Yet Rush isnt aloud to raise that question? That maybe he was trying to do the same thing yet again? Rush, like all Americans, has sympathy for Fox and his condition. Rush raised a simple question that maybe he was pulling the same stuff he pulled in front of congress, to make the effects of his condition appear worse, so he could gain more sympathy. We all feel for Fox, but why arent we aloud to raise this question??

Doublethink
Doublethink is a kind of manipulation of the mind. Generally, one could say that Doublethink makes people accept contradictions, and it makes them also believe that the party is the only institution that distinguishes between right and wrong. This manipulation is mainly done by the Minitrue (Ministry of Truth), where Winston Smith works. When a person that is well grounded in Doublethink recognizes a contradiction or a lie by the Party, then the person thinks that he is remembering a false fact. The use of the word Doublethink involves doublethink. With the help of the Minitrue, it is not only possible to change written facts, but also facts that are remembered by people. So complete control of the country and its citizens is provided. The fact of faking history had already been used by the Nazis, who told the people that already German Knights believed in the principles of National Socialism

It's my understanding that Parkenson's brings paralasis, and the medication tends to remove this. The point being that what you're saying is 180 degrees from reality.

Instead of listing to Limbaugh for analysis, you should listen to a medical professional.

Raising the question is one thing.....flapping your arms around in a mock seizure making fun of the guy is another. The guy has zero class

It's Rush's MO though...the person's character is easier to attack than the substance of what they are saying.

Raising the question of what the proposition really means is fine. Bush rush did that only after prepping the issue with the 16" guns from offshore. It's pathetic.

Skippy, Rush and Hannity provide "entertainment" only. It's not real news, nor even real opinion.

It's a "product" that they sell.

They give a voice and speak for tens of millions of Amercians who dont have a voice anywhere else. A voice we rarely hear in the mainstream media.

And they challenge the liberal media, wich until recently, was rarely challenged. We just accepted what was in our papers and on the news as the gospel. But not anymore!

Michael Moore's a slimeball, never saw the movie but given his past work I'd consider it on par with the product that Limbaugh produces.

Air America failed not because people rejected their idiology as much, but rather they had poor coverage and their shows for the most part sucked. You can hate Limbaugh but he's a master at what he does, and Hannity rides his coat tails.
