It's about the time I bailed, too. Keep in mind, I was a major liberal. I supported Jesse Jackson in a presidential primary. I was a big Al Gore fan. I was in college. I was taught liberal ideals. But as I started watching those confirmation hearings, and the way Biden presided over them, my eyes suddenly opened. I finally saw the hypocrisy they shovel out on a daily basis. And to hear the MSMs take on what I was watching was unbelievable. It was 180 degrees out of whack. It was frightening. I found a Rush a year later, and I felt total relief that there was somebody in the media who saw what I saw.
The first time that I ever heard Rush was on a late Saturday afternoon about 13 or 14 years ago. The program was obviously taped I later discerned but I still remember the first thing that I ever heard him say.
"For those of you on the welfare rolls who are just getting out of bed here is what is happening today....
Well that is not exact I am certain but that was the essence of it. I was relieved to finally hear someone actually express opinions which seemed rational to me. I do not listen to Rush very often but I came to appreciate the dynamics of what he represented in the Media.
The Internet now allows rational thinking persons to come together. Rush was in my opinion a catalyst for great change in politics. ABC and the rest of the liberal media are simply anachronisms and they will all fall by the wayside. Rather was only the first serious public casualty. In truth they have been bleeding internally for a long while and the end for the propagandists is quite nigh.
I wonder if, in retrospect, you think that you should have come to the same fateful decision in regards to the successful character assassination of Robert Bork four years earlier?
If so, what kept you from seeing it then?
