Yes, that is sadly too true. One big reason that this woman hates Rush's "tone" is that he makes her uncomfortable and she can't quite identify the reason why. The real root of her grievance is the fact that logic and reason are foreign to her. Rush may as well be speaking a foreign language.
It’s still logic and reason. But it is a logic founded on emotions and not fact. It is reasoning based on the emotional experience.
Ever watch Ceasr Millan work a dog out of some dog neurosis? It’s all an emotional work through. He applies reason and logic, in order to direct the dog’s emotions back to normal — without such highly-intelligent and wise mentoring and direct handling the dog could well infect an entire pack with its aberrant behavior.
We, the rationalists, often take our higher-order human rationality for granted, and are ignorant of just how RARE it is. Many, perhaps even MOST humans on this Earth today do NOT think like we do — they think emotionally.
Cesar, the Dog Whisperer, knows he can’t TALK to the emotion-driven dog in a rational way, instead he engages the dog at the level it understands and reacts to, and moves it back to stability.
This is how we, eventually, have to come to deal with the liberal mind. But humans aren’t dogs, and it certainly isn’t as clear or simple how we can reach them.

But here’s a few tips: We have to be the pack leaders, and not reward bad behavior.
