"Puritanism: The haunting fear that someone, somewhere, may be happy. "
- H. L. Mencken

One wonders what it is about Rush that distresses them so much. Does it upset them that listeners laugh at Rush's jokes and satire? Lack of a sense of humor? Are they that ignorant and uninformed that they don't know people laugh at liberals?

I think it's because Rush's ascendancy corresponded with the Clintons' political careers and their embarrassing record of sleaze and scandals. Liberals are ashamed and embarrassed at the airing of their dirty laundry. It's their shame and embarrassment and a desire to cover things up which is at issue. They hear Rush laughing at them and yucking it up about liberal follies and scandals and it drives them crazy. They want to cover up, silence, and repress the conservative humor and ridicule directed at them. It's an Adult Children of Alcoholics syndrome - the need to cover up the behavior of the crazy uncles and fathers, the Ted Kennedys and Bill Clintons. The crazy aunts like Hillary Clinton, Nancy Pelosi, and Michelle Obama. It's the shame and embarrassment.

Hey I grind my teeth when I hear Al Franken, Janine Garofalo ect pontificate but I wouldn’t try to silence them. In fact, you can check but I don’t think I have ever commented on what some liberal pundit has said here on FR. I save my energy for those that are actually in government or directly involved in making policy.
