Great, another Republican who gets his long outdated enemy (on libs) assessments/info from talk radio.
MSNBC bumped old Air America Ed Schultz off of primetime weeknights to Sunday afternoons to replace his prime 8pm weeknight slot with young <30 Chris Hayes. That appeared to be the purpose.
And GWB is no longer a major theme on MSNBC anymore either(they now praise him more than they curse him) ,
Their major theme NOW is how Republicans esp conservatives are white racist crazy homo-phobe wimming haters who are terrified that the country is being taken over by nonwhites.
That is why I dont depend on talk radio or FNC for my info.
Indeed....my only problem is, if these girly men libs eat enough oysters, will they grow a pair and become conservatives? Or will they copulate with hipster chicks and multiply liberals.
Oh wait, they’ll abort...Never mind.....:)
Gosh, where do you buy your Sleep-Numba Beds, Gold Bars, Identity Protection Programs, Computer Backups, etc.
I am officially warning you. You either get your daily preaching from us, or we are gonna kick you outa the choir.
Besides, you must listen 24/7. You don't want to miss Rush's coverage of The CCP, do you? You don't want to miss Hair-Do Hannity speaking about Article II Eligibility, do you ... he might even take a call from Mark Levin!
This could happen!
'The Great One' LOL
I occasionally make it through Rushbo for a few minutes and this is what I hear:
“Obama and the left HATE this country. Their #1 goal is to destroy it and make us all the government owned serfs, and they are accomplishing it because of the low info voters. I don't think this country will last more than 10 year's.... we need to be prepared... BTW : have you signed up for lifelock yet?? Identity theft is on the rise”
That is when I change to music FM, usually after 5 to 10 minutes.
I got 24/7 in late 2008, cant figure out why though.
One of my main problems with "conservative radio:" it's this completely negative focus on Obama, no solution offered. OK, he's a bad guy. WTF is the alternative?
I claim talk radio has had the net effect of LOWERING Republican turnout because, in effect, they are telling their devoted audience (and they are devoted) that the situation is hopeless. Result: 4 million on the couch instead of at the polls.
Witness Mormon Milquetoast Mitt, trying to run a campaign based on "I am not Obama." OK Mitt, after you got that straightened out, what was your Program; your Plan? Talk radio did nothing to clear that up.
When a political movements self-proclaimed philosophers are former Rock'n'Roll DJs, you is in a heap'o'trouble.
Ouch; turn that knife!
” MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell is staring at me with the uncontrolled intensity usually reserved for serial killers and time-share salesmen”
LOL!
And it only gets better.
AH-HA grasshopper, your comment leads to the answer to your question.
The reason why Rush+some others preach such hopelessness paranoia (everyone lies to you but me) now and is because his #1 goal is to get listeners dependent on him. ‘Rush is the only place I can turn where someone agrees with me. The only one I trust as he says what I think. ’
Nothing good would come to Rush if the GOP was in charge , esp like they were in 2005 and 2006.
Rush's success + #1 goal=$$$ and that $$$ peaks when GOP is completely out of power, as with 2009/2010+ 1993/1994.
Alternatively hopelessness is not the only method he uses to get listeners addicted. ~ 2010 to 2012 Rush was preaching and setting up delusionally imaginary positive expectations for 2012 election.
You could listen to Rush then and be in an imaginary world where Romney will beat Obama in a landslide, and where Mccain will beat him too. All the polls are lies, just tune in for 3 hours and Obama will be booted from office soon, oh the joy, till election day OHHHCH that hurts.
Of course he sometimes would say that Obam will cancel the election HA-HAm, what a kidster.
Its a scam. I fell for it once,.
” Their major theme NOW is how Republicans esp conservatives are white racist crazy homo-phobe wimming haters who are terrified that the country is being taken over by nonwhites.”
Yeah....close enough : )
” I claim talk radio has had the net effect of LOWERING Republican turnout because, in effect, they are telling their devoted audience (and they are devoted) that the situation is hopeless. Result: 4 million on the couch instead of at the polls. “
I don’t laugh , because I think there is truth to this.
There are other truths. I have often posted ....” 4 million conservative voters stayed home, just because we ran a very rich, very liberal, Republican Mormon? What’s not to like? “
T4TP!!! What’s with the oyster bar business? I’m not sure I know what one looks like....
It does help to remember that this guy puts out these pearl-strewn essays every day, probably working alone at the computer and posting it, rather than submitting to a copy editor at a news desk in an old-fashioned newpaper setting; sometimes he produces several articles a day. If he ever does write a book, one hopes he will have an editor to take care of such details. Here in the FR Greenfield club, any flaws in the service are readily forgiven because of the abundance of red meat.
Then they glance around to see if a black person can overhear, and slam down the race card. It rarely fails.
and what I was getting at with my other reply is Rush+CO have a big incentive to have Dems in charge, meaning have the GOP lose elections.
You really have to understand that to filter and understand what he says.
I think Rush wants the Dems to win elections to overreach with it and create mass hysteria and anger and hatred and outrage(against Dems 1993/1994+2009/2010). If GOP is in charge everyone gets mad at them and who wants to listen to rush defend them?
its $$$ and loyal fans to him.
You must not be from a coastal state. It really is nothing more than a bar with an ice filled tray topped with oysters, clams, and other edible bivalves. It’s all the rage in NY and DC among the yuppie crowd.
In Balt there is one in the Lexington market for locals, a redneck crowd and substantially better oysters.
It’s a spiritual problem - they want to reject the fact that they are sinners, doomed to eternal death.
They pursue all possible routes to their own self righteousness to affirm their own “good personhood”.
This is why they “care” so much about whatever, and obviously “care more than you”. That’s where the sense of superiority comes in. They HAVE TO “care more than you” in order to be assured of their own righteousness.
I wrote Rush off, when he invited Karl Rove to his wedding.
I wrote them all off. When RINOS and Boehner & McConnell get a free pass, credibility goes out the window.
Hallelujah, a FReeper who has read Eliot.
