I think this was aimed at Hannity, whom you have to admit does rant. OTOH he is usually right. But sometimes I wish he’d use a bit more of an intellectual approach.
Ailes is stupid if he doesn’t know the use of metaphors is an intellectual approach. He’s more stupid if he thinks controlling language will change behavior.
Allen West had the best response to all this nonsense:
“Now that I’ve been sworn into Congress I’m still the type of person that, if there are means by which I can inspire people, I will use historical references and metaphors, which is what I have done. But my background is, I am a tough guy and in tough times we have to use a little bit of stronger language when you start talking about the future legacy of my country”
Hannity has never had an original idea in his life. And most of the time I really feel like he is firing for effect and does not believe half of what he says.
