"The mainstream media (a.k.a. the Matrix) don't want you to listen to Limbaugh because they're afraid he'll wake you up and set you free of their worldview. You don't want to listen to him because you're afraid of the same thing."

This was a considerate and careful editorial, and almost -— but not quite -— made me want to re-subscribe to the Times.

Yet when I read through the comments on the site, I am faced with the reality that WE ARE A COMPLETELY POLARIZED society. Liberals can read that essay and just call the writer names, and insist that they know Limbaugh better. They KNOW that he is a hater and a racist. They mock the writer and dismiss Limbaugh out of hand, and feel superior in doing so. I feel that our society, in catering constantly to liberals, has created millions of monsters. We have spoiled and pampered our liberals to the point where they cannot see truth, and are egotistic and needy like overgrown babies.

I have never been alone with Rush Limbaugh or spent time at his home in his private life. Yet after listening for about 16 years, I absolutely know he is not a racist, not just from his words, but from an accumulation of knowledge about his personal life gleaned from listening. He is not a hater; he is a lover: of his fellow man. He has put all that money liberals love to criticize him for where his mouth is not. He gives generously and I certainly have NOT heard all that from his mouth but from others who know him.

People actually do not want to listen to him because he weighs too much and has had a drug problem. Remember (because it’s difficult to) that these are the TOLERANT people. The open-minded liberals. They do not even NOTICE the hypocrisy of their words: they do not criticize Ted Kennedy for the same exact body shape and troubles.

What are we going to do? Half our country can’t shake their indoctrination and think for themselves. I was indoctrinated too, once. But at least I woke up and realized that the mass media was not really a deity speaking the complete truth. Many, many people are still under its spell. Jon Stewart’s mocking, which does not actually HURT you (like Jack Bauer could), is enough to keep them under.
