Always keep it in mind when you hear the most disgusting, outrageous, hateful spew from him ........

[Stinky The Clown]

...... that Rush Limbaugh speaks to the repubican base about concepts and themes with which they all agree.

He is, to them, mainstream.

[tabatha]

1. It is sad commentary that Rush's level of bile

is paid for by millions of dollars.

[blondeatlast]

2. And on that happy note... Sadly true--he just gives affirmation to their

own thoughts.

[eleny]

3. I've been thinking he was prompted by many emails from his listeners

Emails of contempt for the Haitians. So he was fueled by them and went on the air to give them permission to feel the way they do.

A really sick symbiosis of kindred spirits.

[Stinky The Clown]

5. "A really sick symbiosis of kindred spirits"

The perfect turn of a phrase, eleny.

[liberal N proud]

4. He tells them what they should agree on

They don't think for themselves. That is why there are republican talk shows in the first place.

7. You can see that the clearest when it comes to the reform debate...

...republicans are all opposed to it because it was the democrats idea. Democrats, the ones opposed to it, are opposed to it because it's a bad idea. Lockstep is not a good thing no matter what side you're on.

[Jackpine Radical]

6. Republicans ain't normal.

You can't argue with them because they start from perverted premises.
You can't compromise with them because they are uncompromising in their greed.
You can't ignore them because they will try to kill you for your ideals.
Some are blind, some are stupid, some are deluded. But they are all twisted little souls in the service of the forces of evil.

Other than that, they're just like you & me.

8. Rush Limbaugh is simply daily affirmation for the silent sociopaths. nt

[Maru Kitteh]

9. Yup. They think he's "brave" for saying what they think "everyone" thinks

And by "everyone" what they mean is the important people, a.k.a. their racist friends and family. The "real" Americans.

10. Don't just keep it in mind: incorporate it into your speech. Be sure to use a word like

"conservative" or "Republican" in every sentence involving Beck, Coulter, Limbaugh, Palin, Robertson and their ilk

Example: "Conservative leader Prt Robertson says Haitians are devil-worshippers and deserved the earthquake"
Example: "Republican hero Rush Limbaugh says he doesn't care about the earthquake in Haiti"
Example: "Republican VP candidate Sarah Palin couldn't explain how Korea split into two countries"

[blondeatlast]

12. Exactly; do it with EVERY Republican. Their party has embraced their

darkest side--may the word "Republican" forever be corrupted.

11. The idiot teabaggers or rubes think that life is zero sum. The more pain that occurs on your neighb

or the less for you. This explains why they dont care about the million plus killed in Iraq, etc.
